The key is the development of a single record for a voter that aggregates all that is known about them
I love to think what Google knows about me if they've tried this on me. From my emails and chats with my wife it's clear I'm an anarchist, a pacifist, I don't believe in Democracy, I don't vote, I want states to be allowed to secede (but I don't necessarily want to secede - I just want it to be allowed), and I want the same for counties, cities, and households. Processing my political record at Google probably trips all kinds of alarms.
Yeah, that's how I always assumed they did it. How else would it work? Like when Jim Kirk needs to somersault while sneaking up on Klingons in a corridor, they need to know if he succeeds or fails, and the Klingons get a saving throw to notice him.
I wonder what a showrunner is. Since I'm not involved in the production of TVs or Movies in any way, I don't have the first clue. Maybe TFS would explain this term before using it?
Funny thing, I'm not on either team. I supported Obama back in the day and you can go look up my history if you want. Rather, I hope that everyone doing dirty tricks gets exposed.
I supported W Bush back in the day (big mistake), and I agree with you.
Bush's "the constitution is just a damn piece of paper" playbook
Sidenote: I was trying to explain my beliefs on politics to my son earlier this week, and decided to look up this quote on the fly while I was telling him about it. I learned that there's no evidence Bush ever actually said this. Although he did certainly act like he felt that way.
I realize you're not necessarily asserting that Bush actually said it - but I thought you might be interested. It was interesting to me.
So you just stopped when you didn't find anything on WP?
No, I blabbed on Slashdot, like any good Slashdot reader. What'd you expect me to do, RTFM?:)
(The truth is I found the statement in the article that Thiel became an adviser in 2015, but I still thought it might make for a good discussion and went on and posted it anyway.)
I haven't followed everything that Assange has done and said, but speaking personally, when I disparage Hillary Clinton, it should in no way be construed as an endorsement of Donald Trump, and vice versa.
Did I miss something? Y Combinator used to be Paul Graham's organization. I searched the Wikipedia article and couldn't even find Peter Thiel mentioned. I never heard him mentioned in conjunction with Y Combinator until just very recently. What exactly is his relation to it?
Think of it like a microtransaction or in-app purchase in a mobile game, where you can't enjoy the full benefits of a product you ostensibly already own or pay for without ponying up a few extra bucks
I'm a bit confused. If you don't have an unlimited data plan with Verizon, then how is it possible to think of this as a situation where you own something but can't use it without paying extra?
Being online has enriched my life in countless ways. I don't find it stressful. I have plenty of time with my family, some spent online, and a lot spent in person. We are all happy, healthy, well-adjusted, and most of us get lots of benefits from being online. I met my wife online!
I'm coming at you from an HP laptop I bought this year and have been happy with. But I bought a printer this year and after hearing that they are acting like such bastards about it I am very glad I didn't buy HP.
I bought a Brother double sided laser printer for $80 or $90 dollars off of Amazon. It also functions as a scanner, and third party cartridges for it from Amazon cost about $10-$15 and have worked great so far. I have been extremely happy with it. The double sided printing has been very helpful for some of my kids' school projects this year, and my wife and I had some paperwork we needed to scan earlier this year. The software for the thing is a little bit jerky (it asked if I want it to check for updates, and when it does it "helpfully" tells me about other software I might want), but that's nowhere near as bad as what HP is apparently doing with their printers.
because the State Department has asserted a very strong public interest in national defense and national security
It's nice when people express an interest in my life, but when they start demanding information it gets creepy, and when they start using it as a justification for violating my rights it has become abusive.
Amazon Says It Puts Customers First - But Its Pricing Algorithm Doesn't
I think most people understand that the phrase "putting customers first" means "We strive to serve our customers well, with the expectation that we are going to be well-paid for it." So this complaint doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Amazon isn't necessarily going to offer me the lowest prices in the world. They aren't giving away stuff for free, after all. And I want them to profit so they will be around to serve me tomorrow, because I do feel like they serve me well.
the company gives itself an oft-decisive advantage
Decisive advantage over what? The customers? Is shopping a competitive experience between the buyer and the seller where one only gains at the expense of the other? This reads like an attempt to alienate a merchant and its customers. It's probably not actual astroturfing by a competitor, but one could be forgiven for wondering.
Yes, I know. One of these days, in my copious free time, when I'm not developing all the things I'm developing now...:) I'm not complaining, and I understand why they aren't presently releasing for Windows.
I took LibreOffice because it's what was on ninite.com. I actually used to love Gnumeric and Abiword, but they aren't having windows releases any more. I have the last Windows releases of them installed, but more and more I use LibreOffice.
The FBI may be correct that some terrorists will succeed because their communications are encrypted. That is better than living under an FBI shadow government that thinks it is above the law.
This. This sums up the truth in two short succinct sentences.
which guarantees that I won't remember the new names
I don't care enough about cars to remember their names. I just need four wheels and a seat. I'm lucky if I remember the name when I really need to know it like communicating with a mechanic or my insurance.
Yeah, I went and looked it up after I posted that and found the total number of humans who have ever lived is estimated at about 108 billion. Oops. That's what I love about Slashdot, your mistakes are immortalized, leaving you no choice but to just own up to it.:)
Trillions of women in history have eagerly cared for babies who produced real excrement and it did not dissuade them. I'm pretty sure this campaign is a struggle against a seriously deep instinct, here.

It's like the DM.
The city legislature of Seoul, South Korea, is considering implementing a law that would ban after work messaging to employees
What would you do if you needed something done after hours and were willing to pay for it, though?

"[The tweet] needs to disclose that he was compensated," said lawyer Rick Kurnit
Telling other people what to do, and punishing them if they don't do it, is slavery.
Also, if you want people to know something, then you tell them! The Streisand effect can't be stopped, and doesn't need legal help.

I don't see what the problem is.

Well then it doesn't really destroy Raspberry Pi, then, does it?

Linking without permission... Linking without permission? Linking without what? This phrase doesn't even make sense.
