What was illegal about it? He purchased crypto with USD, then was going to sell it in CAD. That's perfectly legal and is a method used in buying/selling foreign stocks.
If it was just 1 or 2 programs that need regular updating, for whatever reason, people would be more inclined to do them. The problem is that there are so many programs that need regular updating, people just can't be bothered.
If more programs allowed you to enable automatic updating in the background like the way Chrome does (that is, seamlessly in the background) I think more people would enable that method. I know I would. And if you don't like it, just don't enable it. There are a lot pf apps I'd be fine with background auto-update.
I will agree with the last part. If the stock price crashes 50%, then "Our market position and growth opportunities are stronger than ever" makes sense. Time to buy...
What we need is education. It’s really simple - stop clicking on every single link that comes along. Take a moment to see where the link takes you. Just about every one of these stories has the same thing in common... stupid users.
First off, the only people that would be upset are people that wanted to buy into the nearby neighbourhood and are now looking at higher prices. What did they expect? Of course this is going to happen. Let's face it, the whole exercise in NY's bid was to have Amazon move in. And guess what, a ton of people are going to be moving in with them. Whether they move in a week before the bell or after, prices are gong up and things are gonna change. "Insider" knowledge is not the issue here, but jealousy, that may play a part...
As a matter of fact, his numbers are accurate. Your link only shows Income Tax. You forget that every dollar you take home after that is taxed again with sales tax. Then there's gas, booze and cigarette taxes. I'd bet 43% is actually a bit low.
4k = 4x 1080HD. 4x 4K = 16x 1080HD. So much for "Smart" TV's...
Slight error in your equation. 1080 is the height of the picture. The width is actually 1920 (or roughly 2k)
HD = 2k (1920)
UHD = 4k (3840)
UHDTV = 8k (7680)
So, UHDTV = 4x the width/height of HD, or 16x the area of HD
This! Exactly. It's amazing that so many people just can't accept this and are more than happy to sit back and watch their rights slowly erode. Carriers should never have been able to control the entire media chain from the shooting stage to the living room.
It's no different than Uber. To some degree it's probably a good indicator of performance. On the other hand, if I were the owner I'd judge the wait staff's performance on their sales numbers. If the employee is doing a good job it will relate to increased sales. Not so sure I am apposed to this, generally speaking.

How do you pronounce Wilhite??

I always thought of it like the Do Not Call list. More like, the Do Not Hesitate to Call list.

A way to prevent automatic updates.

This is pretty sad

Comcast would have been a bad deal.

Didn't see that coming ...
And as soon as I subscribe to WSJ I can read TFA.
I’ve found that nothing beats good noise-cancelling headphones. Haven’t seen anything better yet.
Forget the article, did you even read the summary?

found that 54% of commuters using the train's wi-fi were sending work emails
So in other words, they're reading all your private emails. The price of "free"...

Couldn't agree with you more. Pretty sad.
But they've got this right. Glad to see them doing the right thing.
Couldn’t they just slow the phone down a bit so it doesn’t use as much battery power? This is a no-brainer.
It was probably cheaper to buy the company than buy 123,000 family plan accounts.
This is definitely not about data usage because if it was then they would be restricting bit rates. But they're instead restricting resolution.
