I went overseas and google locked me out because it thought someone else was using my account (because no-one ever travels right?). And because I was travelling, I disable roaming to avoid exorbitant fees and buy a sim in the country I'm in (which a lot of people do) so can't verify my account.
So Google's method involves locking everyone out who travels. You can keep that.
When you or I pay taxes, we have little to no say in how that money is spent, because we are too poor to lobby individually. At best, we can influence policy by contributing to a lobby which we hope will represent our interests.
Which is how is should work in a democracy. How do you think it should work?
Say Apple did pay those $60 billion in taxes. Would I see the end results of that? Would they pave some of the awful roads around here or fix some of the bridges with an "F" rating? In my daily life it would make absolutely no difference at all.
Same when those people got brutally murdered, that didn't affect you directly either did it? Maybe we should let them go then...
More interestingly, how do they do it?
Where is the guy who upon hearing their frivolous claims says we don't have the resources to chase the rats and mice?
I don't know what religions you're familiar with, but Christianity teaches that charity means giving of oneself, not using government to be Robin Hood.
Whether it's the church or government, once the scale of giving gets large enough you need a middle man to manage it. History has shown us that the govt works better than a church at this function.
If I can't set it to exceed the speed limit by 20% (which is very common in California), then it's no sale.
I know. 20% sounds high, but that's what everyone does:
It's a funny old argument. I speed every time I drive/ride and when I tell people this, they look at me like I'm the devil. But every time I'm on the road, everyone is going just as fast.
So everyone speeds, most people just refuse to admit it.
Case in point, Australia. They cracked down on guns HEAVILY. Result? The homicide rate was reduced by about as much as it was in the US.
No it wasn't. Since the law changes in Australia in 1996, gun homicides have reduced 38.6% to 1.24 deaths per 100k population. Compared the the US that has reduced 30% to 4.65 per 100k. Mass shootings have reduced to zero in Australia while the US they are rising.
The US gun homicide rate is nearly 4 times that of Australia and reducing at a slower rate.
Apparently, you are not so honest and just like to look at the one difference that matters to you and are free to ignore the other differences.
If killing people on the highway hacks out fixes, leading to quality AI for cars just a year or two sooner than a measured approach does, you will have net saved several million lives over a handful of people.
The alternative is that his hack kills some people which causes regulations to lock out future testing, which in-turn holds back the technology by decades, thus dooming even more people.
Who should be the person/people that make that decision?
A wind turbine emits about 40db of noise at 300 metres (the closest distance to anything you can build one). That's the same noise as your fridge and less than your car. Do you not have a fridge because of all the noise? How about a car? Do you have one of those?
Also, even though 300 metres is the minimum distance, most of these thing are many kilometres from anything, so objecting to them based on noise is an extremely weak position.
I was in Dresden two months ago and didn't see any. I'm not saying they aren't there, but I spent a day in the city centre, enjoying the history and Octoberfest and don't recall seeing any windmills anywhere. Maybe the city limits extend out past the urbanised parts of town, so technically may be in city limits but are stull 'rural'.
If you can't counter his positions with real arguments you will be ignored.
You'll be ignored either way. That's the problem with stupid people, they don't listen to rational or reasoned arguments.
One thing I *haven't* seen is a rational explanation of why a temporary ban on Muslim immigration isn't a common-sense response to an immediate problem.
What is the immediate problem? All the recent terrorist incidents were performed by local citizens (in both San Bernadino and Paris). How does banning and alienating over a billion foreigners change this?
The news in my country did a segment on wind farms and revealed they were extremely loud, which can't be healthy.
You're right, watching non-credible news stories is extremely unhealthy.
If you ever see a wind farm, go in for a closer look and listen, they are less noisy than your average car and we seem to accept those every-fucking-where on earth...
And I'd happily pay a token sum for it too. $1/month for a social media site and mobile app, that allows me to connect with friends and family, but doesn't spy, track or use me as an advertising medium is something I think most people would consider.
How hard would it be to build a Facebook-like platform without all the bullshit? All most people want is the basic activity feed with comments and pictures, this can't be rocket science? Where are the FB competitors?
Well, no, I think you don't. Did you understand that it was intended, explicitly, as a Greek tragedy, complete with chorus, and as stylized as one, or like a Noh play?
Most folks these days aren't happy with tragedies.
Trust me, I get it. The greatest tragedy was the script, the direction, the plot, the special effects and the casting...
You're not clear on your problem, are you just upgrading from XP to Win10, or also upgrading Outlook/Exchange?
It's just a guess, but I suspect your problems are less related to accessing a PST and more to do with all the other stuff that comes with OS/App version migrations.
You're a company with $100 million in annual revenue for whom a Fortune 50 retailer represents some significant percentage of your total product distribution and sales.
They pull some dubious move and you sue them.
They easily determine the Chinese manufacturer of your product, obtain said product with their private label on them and drop your product.
Now you're a $75 million company.
That $50k or whatever in deductions from a past year audit you just saved suddenly isn't a very good stance, outside of its moral value.

So can I do the same thing? Register a business, setup the same transfer pricing scheme, and pay less tax?
More interestingly, how do they do it? Where is the guy who upon hearing their frivolous claims says we don't have the resources to chase the rats and mice?
A gang in today's parlance,
People today don't use the word 'parlance', so I assume you are old and therefore your opinion of "today" is irrelevant....
Friends don't let their friends use Facebook.

Whether it's the church or government, once the scale of giving gets large enough you need a middle man to manage it. History has shown us that the govt works better than a church at this function.
Meanwhile, violent crime continues to go down.
At a slower rate than all other comparable western democracies, and mass shootings are going up...

An earlier challenge to haterz requesting citations of anything "fascist"-like about Donald Trump remains unanswered — though not for lack of trying.
Would you like to try again?
I just read the link, and saw good examples. Just because you don't accept those, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Pot meet kettle...
What do you mean? Millions more people own guns now than they did 30 years ago,
Wrong. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03...
and violence crimes of all kinds, including those involving guns, have been going steadily down, and are down 46% since the 1990's. .
That's because there are less people owning guns. See how it works now?

Thanks, very interesting.
My advice to Donald would be that if he doesn't like the off-shore turbines he could plant a forest to block out the view.
Seems like an easy solution doesn't it? You don't even need a forest, a small hedge will achieve the same goal.

I get a free one with my ISP too, but have nothing connected to it and never use it. Everything I need I can do with Mobile or VOIP.

You've been watching too many movies.
