This is a timely article. My school is getting ready to tap into the ipad's for every student to save on books bandwagon. I need to find out more about their data privacy policy.
hmm, massed frontal assault by a half dozen desperate (not suicidal) guys, or a simple catapult/trebuchet with a modified propane tank. Artillary is not difficult.
With everything the NSA is collecting, they should have sent a list of suspects to the FBI and Boston PD immediately after the bombing.
The problem is that the NSA doesn't collect this data for our good, they really are working for some shadowy non-entity and collect this data to maintain it's status quo. We are living in a conspiracy theory.
The short version is that young people do value privacy, just they, like most adults, don't comprehend the privacy concerns of social media and therefore make poor choices.
The older I get, the more I realize that the world is full of experience masquerading as intelligence. Learning (and teaching others) is more important then innate ability.
In all fairness, why should you get 2TB of bandwidth for the same price as the other 90% who are using 500GB?
That's a significant difference. You should pay more.
Granted you probably are, because you probably have a faster connection. I think if they are going to cap, the cap should be larger for faster connections. If I buy a 3/1, it should be around 300gb, if I by a 15/5, it should be 5 times as much data too.
The problem you outline, elected officials negotiating with unions, is not an inherent problem. It is only one of the symptoms of the problems created by our two party system. Even that doesn't make the problem insurmountable, but is exacerbated by the money=speech provisions that have been placed into our current system. Once again, unions are a convenient scape goat, one that safer to attack in today's climate.
My point was that many of the right to work laws explicitly allow police unions, because they are traditionally more conservative. I didn't realize they all don't have that provision.
Yeah, alot of these complaints are people who are jealous of someone else benefiting from a management decision, not a set in stone union policy. Yes, the union makes sure the policy is applied fairly, but it's the numbskull managers who implemented it.
The lesson of unions is that you can't put things on autopilot. You have to be involved with the union and make sure it is actually representing your interests. You have to notice and care when the senior members are ripping you off. It happens with unions, small gov, big gov, corporations, sole proprietorship. Power corrupts, be on guard.

Ask me how I know your upper class (white?)
Maybe if it was designed by commitee, nah that would never happen.
The problem isn't that they'll figure it out. The problem is they will think they've figured it out and convince others, like lie detectors.

Whaoh, we know, "Security is Not My Problem"
Yeah, it has to be cruel and unusual. It only meets both criteria if we don't do it often enough.

Next time we find a new land and kill all the inhabitants we'll get it right.

..now that you've consented, let me remove this gag.

Wow, as little as 5k, I might have 4 lifetime entries in a database somewhere. I'm worried!
I agree that it is stupid to cap everything the same, but maybe I want a high speed with a low capacity. So I can save some money. Why is that wrong?
Although I agree, it will never allow you to save money, just cost you more.
so they should just go to 95th percentile?
I agree, that price point is outrageous.
yeah, one evening session would blow through that cap like a geyser of...

Breaking the link between money and speech doesn't deny anyone anything. It just allows us to enact regulations.
