Ah the same will happen but instead you'll be poor. Just sayin'
Hopefully your happiness will attract a girl who doesn't care about money or at least social status and you can move somewhere cheap and tropical to study the stars at your leisure.
Now imagine that same guy doing that to tens maybe hundreds of millions of people.
Your info is now just a tiny speck in an ocean of data. Other than being tied into a set of grouped profiles that include hundreds of thousands of similar people you are insignificant and completely anonymous (unless you draw attention to yourself in a malicious way - at which point various gov agencies will be crawling through your trash and your data).
Now how are individuals being abused? Oh that's right, targeted ads. The end is nigh.
Just pack up and go. Tell your closest friends and family you've moved and where you've moved to. Set up an auto responder for the old address for a month or so that simply says "I've moved to [new address]". You can close the account or not (they dont care). Go update accounts that use the old email address. If you miss one it probably wasn't that important and you can check the old account occasionally.
If you watch kids shows WITH the kids it's actually really educational regarding social skills and problem solving (hard problems, like how to work with a team, how to handle anger, etc - much harder than puzzles or physics).
For puzzles and physics, Amazing Alex is great, Save the Puppies, Angry Birds, Bad Piggies - the list goes on. Android is based on Linux right...
A convenience store is not a destination you don't go there and end up buying a larger than normal beverage as part of a combo deal the way you do at a Cinema, fast food place, etc
I think it's a great experiment. I suspect it will work. People will be embarrassed to buy two drinks for themselves and will therefore consume fewer calories. Over time they will become accustomed to smaller portions.
Born with a genetic deficiency, congenital defect, victim of any number of contagions, etc
Our point is that healthcare isn't just to prop up unhealthy lifestyles. In fact unhealthy/risky lifestyles are already compensated for with higher premiums.
We'll never know how many would have died at the hands I'd Saddam's son either (he was known for being a complete sociopath with homocidal tendencies, torturing multiple people to death because they displeased him).
Non-human sentience eg does it exist and can it exist?
Any question of ethics eg is a particular action, product, service or policy in the best interest of either humanity or a localized society at a given point in time.
Where does consciousness (sentience) reside eg in the brain, in the body as a whole system, in the body as a system but in context with its environment or other???
Is planet earth as the only known host for life more important than the human species, the only known sentient species?
Just a few quick examples. There are others but not likely as large in scope or as clearly unanswered by science.
All of programming comes down to functions. Functions are by definition math. If you don't understand that then you don't understand programming or math.
I work at a company where we are always "inventing" new stuff. We get paid just fine. Why? Supply chain and first mover advantage. We have a business. We don't file patents. Why? They would be out dated by the time they became useful.
What else do we get? Patent litigation. What for? Things we made last year and have since moved on. Still they want their pound of flesh and request records, source code, revenue, etc. trying to figure out how much money we made by "copying" their IP (which we never had time to do, too busy making stuff).
I suspect we are not the only ones paying this tax.
Very very few new inventions are the result of anyone looking up existing patents and then extending them. Many many patents are if this sort however (find a patent and add "on the Internet" or "via mobile device").
There are a lot of smart people out there. They don't need documentation of ideas to be inspired and come up with a new iteration.
Patents offer little of value outside of a historical record (which is interesting to a few academics and random editorialists looking for a background reference).
Patents don't even really document a specific application anymore as the lawyers who write them make every effort to obfuscate the true use in many cases, while covering all of the areas of interest with examples that are typically useless.
That is what user stylesheets are for. Fonts can be expressive and are an improvement over textual graphics. Take responsibility for yourself, don't expect every website to cater to your needs.
Get those marketing types involved earlier during concepting. Have them provide real copy, not just Lorem text.
Then you'll know what you are in for earlier, can design around this requirement. Better yet discuss the merits of the copy and find out what they want to accomplish (SEO ?) and work on ways to also have a good UXD.
A lot, the vast majority I'd say of those military bases were requested by the host nation. Those countries want our military invested in their region as a preventative measure to keep their neighbors peaceful. I'm sure the bases also keep those countries on their toes regarding US relations as well.
This. You should ask for extra RAM to run your 64 bit server properly AND a stocked fridge. Make sure you've got a decent switch in place for the extra traffic VCS will generate. Nothing worse than everyone trying to check out the latest version on a slow network attached to a memory starved server.
What's that old saying? "I didn't protest when they left the liberal state. I didn't protest when they left the moderate state. Now they are leaving the country and leaving all the burdens on citizens. "
Maybe not a faithful quote but you might get the gist of it.
Corporations don't care about your values. They only care about the bottom line. That's how it is set up and probably how it should be. OTOH it's our job to hold them accountable. Part of that social contract is to make them contribute back to the community they have benefited from. The infrastructure, the subsidies, etc.
Laws and regulations enforce that contract. Without them corporations are bound to screw us over by their own rules.
The flip side is feast and famine. When the predator over hunts a territory he either moves on and fights his way into a new one or dies of starvation.
Civilization is supposed to moderate that cycle for us smart humans. Part of civilization is rules and regulation. Really that's all it is. Agreed upon self regulation to avoid feast and famine.
And that is how companies end up with multi million dollar upgrade problems. Rather than incrementally update annually and plan for it they push it out until they can't any longer.
Which one costs more? Depends on whether you include opportunity cost in your accounting. You may find that there are efficiencies lost and new revenue channels missed out on because the infrastructure is too out of date and upgrading takes too long to catch the wave of money.
Sure you save some but did you save enough to offset the lost earnings?

Almost 100% certain Google does none of the mixing you refer to. They don't even ask those questions.
Moving out is a trivial decision though.
Just pack up and go. Tell your closest friends and family you've moved and where you've moved to. Set up an auto responder for the old address for a month or so that simply says "I've moved to [new address]". You can close the account or not (they dont care).

It's not brain surgery.
You could save the rest of us by linking to said original source.

They have overlapping APIs and a common language and tool chain. Not the same OS but certainly both a shared past and a shared future.

Ah good ol' Silicone Heaven where every virgin has a perfect pair of fake tatas.
So if I leave my car unlocked or even my keys in my car and someone comes along and uses it to rob a bank I should be partially responsible?
Doesn't pass the smell test.
If you swap out car for tank and robbing a bank for rampaging through San Diego then it looks more like criminal negligence.
I'm thinking a misdemeanor at most for leaving a wifi connection open. That's still stretching it.

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

You are an ignorant person.
Not so. Energy time shifting and location shifting is just as important as generating it.
Even if its a net loss - if you can move energy from where its lying dormant or being wasted to where it can be used - it can be worth it.
And that is how companies end up with multi million dollar upgrade problems. Rather than incrementally update annually and plan for it they push it out until they can't any longer.
