Hahahaha... I just woke up, got to my computer to begin my day of work and read this article. I can't start a good day any way better than this. I have an iPhone X and my wife has an iPhone 7+. My wife doesn't work, just takes care of the kids. I'm the only income in the family. I must make a lotttttt of money!!!
On other notes... I take Uber/Lyft all the times, lots of those drivers got an iPhone and claim that driving was their only income. Do Uber/Lyft drivers make a lot of money like I do? I also happen to know quite many low income folks you arm their entire family with iPhones... they must be dealing something other than their jobs.
I never tried checking the area... but I can click two points and measure distance and was able to do this on browsers a long time ago. This "new" thing must be only on mobile OS?
I'd like to let you guys know what the major items are in these new laws... FYI
1. Facebook, Google and other global companies may exit Vietnam if they don't agree by Jan 1 2019
2. Law enforcement can request private information about anyone
3. Companies, when requested, must provide customer information to law enforcement
4. Consumers will be denied internet services if found or suspected of "questionable" internet activities
5. Online commerce will be prosecuted
Oh they can regulate FB/GG all right.... these companies have offices, servers in Vietnam. As long as they have a presence in this country, they have the right to regulate. But yes I agree with you that if the companies don't agree with the policy, they can pack up and leave.
I was born and raised in Vietnam. I can assure you it's a communist country. And so for your information when you say there's no communist countries anymore that's very very wrong. The most power of them is China. Another is making lots of headline news last couple days is North Korea. The other 2 that I know of are Vietnam and Cuba. So let me sum this up for you: You don't know what you're talking about.
I appreciate the work and dedication that law enforcement have to serve this country but that's where it ends. Cracking criminal is the task that law enforcement MUST do. The tech industry can help whenever they can but that's not a required responsibility. If they say they cannot help, they cannot help.
Yeah of course they are contractors... they get to decide their own working schedule and everything. But for God's sake, increase the fare a little bit, allow them to keep more percentage so they can make some decent money. I'm a frequent user (10 times a week) and I won't mind a little higher fare. I have a cousin who drives for Uber and I did some careful calculation of his earning over 3 months... he makes equivalent to minimum wage.
The MIT researcher was a little bit too eager to release his findings. Although Uber may have not been very nice to its drivers/customers/employees in general, but it wouldn't go as far as crossing the minimum wage line because if it did, all of its executive management would be in jail.
Having said that, if the researcher found the earning to be at $3.xx per hour, he should have gone back and done extensive revisions to make sure his data wasn't lying. I suspect that the number of drivers participating in his research, and their full/part time status combined may have caused his analysis to go way too low. Best example would be a driver who only drives on the weekend, 4 hours each day. This driver's earnings, if used to describe his only income, then of course the study has gone wrong.
I work at a company same size as Apple and we got glass panels everywhere too. However I like how they takes care of this issue... they have artworks on the panels... sometimes team drawings and even charts are drawn on them (erasable). Now if you still can't see the artworks and walk into the damn panels, you deserve it!!
Cupertino/Sunnyvale/Mountain View/Palo Alto are not the only areas that have seen ridiculous housing price sky rocketing...
Nearby areas such as San Jose, Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Milpitas, Fremont, San Mateo, San Carlos... they all got housing pricing so high that engineering jobs can no longer afford a house. The year 2007 was considered most expensive housing before the real estate market crash. But now housing is so much higher that I wish I bought a house back in 2007. If we look further into the past around 2002-2005, if I would have bought a home back in those years, I could now sell it now and have enough money to buy several
I don't care what kind of study they did and how they did it... the phrase "self driving trucks will result in more truck drivers" just sounds STUPID!!! They should just do what their set out to do: transportation and leave the self-driving vehicle business to the grown ups. They started out doing this by stealing... their new CEO should put an end to a time/money wasting effort and concentrate on core business.
Three of the most richest men in the World... sat together for a talk about something that doesn't concern me... and it cost my life savings $5K within just one day. What the phuck? I don't even know these men, yet they manage to take money out of my pockets and there's not a damn thing I can do about it.
Long time ago I learned to type in high school and got up to 55WPM on the typewriter....
When I finished college, I was close to 90 which made me pretty efficient at any keyboards... tiny or wide spaced keyboards doesn't matter to me... it takes only less than a minute to get used to it.
Yep.. Ikea products are definitely hard to assemble. Not only that, the assembly instructions are poorly written/illustrated.
But do I want to pay $120 for someone to assemble my $100 desk? HELL NO!!! Are you stupid? The simple answer is that I buy my stuffs from somewhere else.
So equifax.com sits in an IP block that is directly managed by Equifax itself. Whereas, equifaxsecurity2017.com is in a block owned by CloudFlare.
This leads me to believe that the hackers didn't just get the website and the database. They got the entire network and that Equifax up until today is unsure if their network is safe yet. Equifax's decision to host the new website in CloudFlare is to make sure that they don't give additional information to hackers who are ALREADY in.
Lies after lies... they simply refuse to do the right thing. My prediction is that lenders will stop using Equifax reports to make lending decisions and there will be a law/legislation to allow customers to request creditors not to report their information to Equifax.... or to any bureau for that purpose.
I'm a very long time user of iTunes and I don't think the 4K quality of video will justify the additional costs.
Over the past 10 years, I have purchased nearly $10K worth of entertainment including shows/movies/music... but only chose SD videos, not even HD. SD video may seem a little bit old, but still high quality enough for my family to enjoy. The additional cost of 25% on HD wasn't necessary. Now they wanted to add another 20% for 4K. I don't think so.
The difference between SD/HD is very visible, but can anybody honestly tell me that they can use their own eyes to distinguish the difference between HD and 4K? So why pay for the extra cost?
Apple should be sued too because that word no longer describes the fruit it originally was inteneded to describe. It rather describes phones and tablets.
Same fate should go for IBM because it stands for International Business Machines, but the company sells pretty much every "machine" they make to the Chinese... NEXT!!!!
If there's any civilization at all in Saturn... regardless how privimitive or advanced it is... they'll think that an alien ship has crashed into their planet and they will begin searching for the responsible planet that may or may not have killed their civilians:)
So the FCC is an organization who's authority is to act on people's behalf re: communication and to also to regulate those providing communicative services.
Since when were they authorized to decide for the people what is "adaquate"?
For a light internet usage home, maybe few MB/s is good enough. A home with a few teens needs a lot more. But for a guy like me who runs multiple massive computing operations from home... the FCC doesn't have a damn clue what I need, now does it? So just like any other service and products... offering multiple quality levels and letting the customers decide what they want is how authorized/reasonable/knowledgable people would want to "regulate".

We want to stop them from STEALING our technologies. When we upgrade, we want to stop them from stealing the upgrades too.

Why would you need that app on a computer when the website accessible via any browser is a fully functional option?
I work at a company same size as Apple and we got glass panels everywhere too. However I like how they takes care of this issue... they have artworks on the panels... sometimes team drawings and even charts are drawn on them (erasable). Now if you still can't see the artworks and walk into the damn panels, you deserve it!!

And that wouldn't be your nor their business now would it?

Here we go again... another person stating their political view on a completely irrelevant subject.
Lies after lies... they simply refuse to do the right thing.

FB makes connection when people get on FB using the same network connection or from the same vicinity, especially after multiple times...
FB recommended me a few people who are completely strangers but after seeing their face carefully, I realized I've seen them at a local bar few times.
Apple should be sued too because that word no longer describes the fruit it originally was inteneded to describe. It rather describes phones and tablets.
Same fate should go for IBM because it stands for International Business Machines, but the company sells pretty much every "machine" they make to the Chinese... NEXT!!!!
