Nice anecdote, doesn't actually change the options of the rest of the US, which is basically one cable company, one phone company, and roadblocks keeping the competition out.
Who's creating the roadblocks?
And you completely missed the point. by "the bush" he meant away from everything, no income so no taxes.
You have to earn a living. Even if you try to live by barter, the IRS can come after you.
Mind telling me how you are accessing the internet. In most of the U.S your only viable choice for access is dealing with the Cable corporation operating in your area.
In my area, we have 6 different options for internet (AT&T, Comcast, DirecTV, Dish, Frontier, and a local cable provider). I could also just get internet via my cell phone. If I don't like what I'm getting, I can always change without too much of a problem. I had Comcast cable (no contract), and was able to drop television and phone to switch to PlayStation View, which saved me about $80 a month.
Sure you can opt out of dealing with them by cutting off your own access but you could also opt out of government by moving to the Bush.
Even if you live in "the bush", you're still going to have to pay income taxes & property taxes.
I use that as well, but it doesn't always work. I think auto-play video is about the rudest thing a web developer can do, and if they've gone to the trouble to even work around a plugin that blocks it, I just close the page.
You can opt out of every government. Unless you're in North Korea or something like it. At the very least you can vote what government you prefer, and if that doesn't work out, move to a place where the government is more to your liking.
Are you being intentionally obtuse? Your last example provides a great illustration of my point. If I don't like Coca Cola, or Comcast or any other corporation, I don't have to move. I just don't give them my money. If I don't give the government my money, they will send men with guns to put me in a cage.
It's interesting. In the US, people generally trust corporations rather than their government. In Europe on the other hand, it's exactly the opposite, people rather trust their governments than corporations.
I don't trust either, but there's a distinct difference between the two. I can decide to opt out of dealing with any corporation. If I want to opt out of the government, eventually men with guns will come to force me to deal with the government.
I didn't actually hear anything, but in my mind I was producing a thud every time the pylon hit the ground & the image shook. Gestalt Theory, loosely put, says that your mind tries to fill in the gaps of things you experience. It's like when you look at a painting, and your mind tries to imagine what is beyond the frame by filling it out.
The way I see it, you're getting very worked up about one of the smallest problems with our economic system. BTC and other cryptocurrencies alone present a much larger problem, which is massively enabling criminal finance.
So, like cash, or do you want to get rid of that too? Would you prefer digital non-cryptocurrencies that are even easier to steal?
To the working class, losses via currency devaluation are a barely noticeable speck compared to wage theft, sub-livable wages, high prices due to oligopolistic market activity, and runaway inequality.
So when the Federal Reserve releases billions of dollars into the marketplace to bail out incompetent oligopolies, that's not a problem? Remember, compounding interest works in both directions. When inflation grows faster than your income, you might be making more money, but it's worth less. So it might be a speck any given year, but over time it's a lot of specks. And when it happens to millions of families every year, you get enough specks to make hills, if not mountains.
Now I can't help wonder if someone could figure out which genes that causes the human brain to be so extremely developed, then breed raccoons with those genes.
Good now maybe the American students can actually start learning as there are fewer bad accent Teaching Assistants...
This was a serious stumbling block for me when I went back to school. Try being out of college for 10 years and then take calculus with an Indian professor & Chinese TA's. I have no doubt about their competency in the subject, but most of them were not very good at teaching because they couldn't communicate clearly. I had to hire a tutor in order to get a decent grade.
It won't always be the pin industry. Sometimes, you don't need that many pins, people become unemployed, and then jobs are created in the button industry. Things get shaken up and it's bad for the worker, but good for the economy. This is why we need policies to protect labor while not halting progress--a challenging problem.
That's true, but the point I was trying to make is that introducing technology might be disruptive, but it's not doom and gloom--though it might seem that way for a little while.
That's right: it's always coming for everyone's jobs.
Thanks for injecting some common sense into the typical "Technology is replacing workers!" hysteria. Technology introduces efficiency, and helps to reduce cost. Reduced cost usually translates to reduces prices as well, and increased demand. The classic example is the straight pin. A pin factory used to be able to make 5,000 pins a day. When automation was introduced, they were able to create about 70,000 pins per day. Prices dropped, demand increased and the net effect was more people working in the pin industry.
Some christian cultures, celibate Christmas on January 6th
It's mostly Armenians. I thought it was all Orthodox Christians that celebrated it on that day due to sticking with the Julian instead of Gregorian calendar. It turns out Dec. 25 on the Julian Calendar is Jan. 7, and it's only Copts & Ethiopian Orothodox that celebrate it on that day. Most other Orthodox churches have moved to the Gregorian calendar and celebrate on Dec. 25 now.
An assault rifle headset sounds really cool, but can your neck take the recoil is the real problem.
You're not going to wear the AR on your head. The HUD will just be synced with scope on the rifle so you'll have an easier time aiming. Hopefully they'll include a feature that quickly identifies hostiles & prevents friendly fire.
Was her battery life already draining quickly?
Older device at the end of iOS chain is also near the end of the expected battery life. Granted if these devices had user teplacable batteries you should be able to use these âoepremiumâ phones for over a decade. But like most OS updates the newer OS uses more cpu cycles expecting a faster device so does use more battery. Combine that with an older device with a battery that isnâ(TM)t holding its charge as well compounds the problem.
I bought it for her new back in May 2017, so that should not be the case. Walmart was selling them for $99 with Total Wireless service.
You know that on iOS, unlike Android, you can update to the latest OS version without buying a new phone, right ?
My wife has iOS 11 on her iPhone 5s. I have an iPhone 7 Plus that I just upgraded to after the 8 & X were announced, and I still haven't updated to 11. Her battery drains pretty quickly.
Perhaps when they stop paying football and basketball coaches obscene salaries and pay professors and grads what they are actually worth the quality at universities will improve.
How do you gauge what is obscene and what people are actually worth? For instance, back in 2010, it was estimated that Tom Izzo was paid $3 million, but the basketball program generated roughly $11 million for the university. So do you think the professors and grads should be paid 27% of the revenue they generate for universities? How do you calculate that? What if they don't generate any revenue? Do you pay them nothing?
It's going to be a real drag if I have to write daylight saving (no 's') time every single time I want to mention it. That's sort of like "News for Nerds (no 'z'), Stuff that Matters."

Even better: Hey Wire Tap, ...
You hired her for her developer skills, not because she was Vietnamese or that she is able to give birth.
How do you know he didn't hire her because he has an Asian fetish, and it just so happened that she was actually good at coding?

Perhaps you should stop using the abreviation which you obviously don't know what it means. Hint: the D in DMCA stands for digital.
I thought the D in DMCA stood for Disney?

Excellent!
Andy Rubin is one of the biggest names in tech. This is essentially the downfall of Essential. It won't survive this.
How will this affect the price of my 1986 Andy Rubin rookie year tech collector's card?
Well what did you expect signing up for University of Phoenix.
In my instance, it was a Big Ten university.

It seems odd to wait to buy something until a holiday if you're single. If I was single, I'd just buy what I wanted when I wanted. :shrugs:

All that I hear is "Go ahead, play your video game the rest of the night. Tonight is Friday."
Yeah, but what if taking out the trash is an in-game achievement?
