Hate to spoil your 2nd Amendment dreams there, but I can assure you that private ownership is quite tightly restricted. The vast bulk of those open-carry weapons that you see are held by active duty soldiers, and not private citizens. Of the private citizens who *can* carry, the majority live in areas that border upon Palestinian-controlled territories (such as yehudah and shomron).
Considering that veterans of the IDF are allowed to own a handgun and that 75% of the country was compulsory conscripted at one point, it stands to reason that Israel is in fact a 2nd amendment paradise.
Veterans: 1. Veterans of the Regular Army honorably discharged with the rank of non-commissioned officer, and veterans of the Reserve Army with the rank of regimental commander- may own 1 handgun 2. Retired law enforcement officers with the rank of sergeant - may own 1 handgun 3. Retired prison guards with the rank of squadron commander- may own 1 handgun
No, the app "economy" won't be worth nearly that much. If anything, we can expect a downturn sometime in the next few years to trim the excess bloat in a similar fashion to the dotcom bubble. On an unrelated side note, the Amazon Wholefoods merger is the AOL Time Warner merger of this decade.
I've traveled Israel extensively and genuinely enjoy the culture and people. The sense of impending Islamic doom makes for an interesting cultural dynamic. I wouldn't have a problem emigrating there, but I don't have a desire to learn Hebrew. The place is a 2nd amendment paradise where you will see people open carrying in the streets and even the bars!
My english friend's description of the place was quite accurate: It's the Wild West with a bunch of Jews. Funny little place, the scrappy doo of countries.
In one of the most notoriously difficult countries to immigrate to for non-Jews, I find it deliciously ironic that they're having problems with a worker shortage. The question is, will they ease immigration requirements for non-Jews? I highly doubt it.
Between the bad accents, inability to creatively think, and watching far more talented professionals get replaced by offshored idiots (or H1B'd) I don't have much sympathy for their plight. Good riddance and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Back in early 2000s, Al Qaeda (cough CIA's clandestine Arabic unit cough) tried in desperate vain to have a simple html web page that was properly taken down multiple times by registrars and well to do web security professionals.
Nowadays, we have major corporations who are so inept that they let the same malcontents run their propaganda crap on simple to use platforms instead of immediately banning them.
You want to fight an information war? Start by banning their social media accounts.
Seems many here don't quite understand the sheer volume of content released on VHS all the way into the 2000s. Not just home videos, but endless amounts of direct to video content, films, etc... Tons of which are not available on any other medium. Some of this got crowd "archived" just due to torrent sites and Youtube, but some VHS content hasn't been digitized to this day may be lost forever if not done soon.
However, the idea of tapes not lasting past 15 to 20 years I think is incorrect. It may depend more on the quality and conditions they were kept but I've had tapes well over 20+ years that played perfectly. There are still tons of old tapes from 80s and 90s you can purchase off Amazon or eBay which all play fine. Tapes in clamshell cases seem to be in the best shape leading me to believe not exposing the tape to the elements is the most important factor.
Is it really worth the effort and cost in archiving? To be honest, I don't see the value or the point other than for that feel good feeling of archiving something obscure for the future in the off chance that someone may find it and watch it. There's a lot of old content that just needs to die and be forgotten. If it's worth remembering, someone already digitized it.
Sounds like there's a budget short fall somewhere in the EU and since Google didn't pay the lobbyist (erh bribe) they're getting dinged a cool $9 billion.
I read the article but it didn't say if it would bind a worker to a specific employer, which is just indentured servitude. If the workers are free to switch jobs and free to collective bargain then I would generally agree with it. As long as it did not become the sort of dysfunctional H1B indentured servitude we have in the US.
Does anyone have more details or pointer to more details?
This visa is only meant for founders and key employees of start up businesses.

Public transit is uniformally disgusting both in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
If you think that, you have a mental problem.
It's why I work hard to own a car and not have to sit on public transit.
Good for us...
I for my part can not stand people with mental problems. I have the strong believe they infect the people around them.
Trust me, not having to sit next to a peter pan on my commute is worth working an extra few hours a week. Remember: If riding the bus and subway each day to work isn't enough encouragement to change your lot in life then nothing is.
That doesn't make a lick of sense. What do taxicabs today have to do with fleets of autonomous cars in the near future?
One is driven by a smelly man who is eating kebab and had someone vomit in it the night before hastily cleaned up by some minimum wage cleaner. The other is driven by no one and had someone vomit in it the night before which was hastily cleaned up by some minimum wage cleaner.
The common denominator between both being that fellows humans are gross and I don't want to share my vehicle with gross people. It's why I work hard to own a car and not have to sit on public transit.
There's a reason why you would probably feel more comfortable licking your car steering wheel than licking the hand bar on a subway or bus. Public transit is uniformally disgusting both in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
It will be marginally better than cattle class transit and knowing we won't have to sit in a car with a big greasy dude eating kebab means the future will be just ever so slightly brighter.
I wonder if that means no more double standards, freedom of speech for all political leanings, and telling people who can't handle trolls to take a step outside instead of banning them.
When something costs me a lot of money, my expectations start to increase. When a movie costs $13+ for a single ticket, I expect that movie to be mind blowingly awesome. When it undoubtedly falls flat on its face for not living up to its $13 value to me, I feel ripped off and stop going to see movies that I don't feel were worth the $13 to me.
If movies cost, 6,7, or even 8 dollars, my expectations will be more reasonable and thus my enjoyment of the movie increases because i'm not asking myself, "Was this worth it?"
It's only a matter of time before some hair brained bureaucrat suggests blocking bitcoin transactions as a means to prevent criminals from funding themselves.
The majority of people who have 10+ tabs open don't need all of them opened at once. Close out the tabs you don't need and use bookmarks if you need a handy reference back to something.
Or get more RAM. The sticks are dirt cheap.
On a side note: Opera's a great browser, however i'm skeptical of its Chinese ownership. If i'm going to have any intelligence agency know my private details in and out, I prefer it to be the NSA and CIA./sarcasm
The press are nothing more than leaches and liars hell bent on spinning webs of lies to suit their narratives.
All this man wanted was his privacy to be respected. He halted one of the worst malware attacks and this is how those libtard comm degree holders react?
There's a special place in hell reserved for journalists who act like this.
Barclays did the same thing by blocking rooted devices from running their banking software (crap bank, different story). Geniuses on XDA took care of that a long time ago and i'm pretty sure they'll do it again!

Someone had a ringtone which played the song "It's Everyday Bro."
Needless to say, I was silently plotting his death.

Couldn't a criminal just use a bitcoin mixer to mitigate this?

This is why I keep coming back here. There's nothing more entertaining than a good tar and feathering of a bad claim. Keep up the good work guys!
