I'm an android user but I really hate the OS. About 1/4 of my apps (the ones I can't uninstall) require me to grant them the right to record voice without notifying me. It's really shitty. On the iPhone I'm in control of privacy, on Android, google is. But, I do use it because I pay a lot less for the service.
Try anyone with an Android phone. On the play store, every google app (and several others) require the ability to record audio and video without your consent--and unlike iOS, you can't adjust the privacy app by app, permission by permission. We all know iOS isn't perfect, but they are way ahead of Google on privacy.
I use Republic and the wifi is more for when you're parked at your house or office (as far as I can tell). I haven't had any problems with it, except if I receive a call right as I'm exiting wifi range it will take about 10 seconds to respond.
I use republic and I have no such problem. At work, I use a password, and home, I use a password. But it really doesn't matter, Republic charges me $10 per month (maybe $11 or $12 with taxes?) and I still get unlimited calls and texts. If I upgraded to 3G, I'd be paying $25 (I think just under $30 with taxes).
I've been 1 indexing so long I'm confused. I never have any issues 1-indixing. I do for(i; 1; length(list)), but if I was using 0 indexing I'd have to do for(i; 0; length(list) - 1), which is a -1. But I've never had to do a +1 while 1-indexing.
With the DSLR I can capture a moment. With the phone's camera takes a picture when it feel like it. Also, the number one predictor of image quality is the size of the CCD. There is a huge gulf between the phone and the SLR, and there always will be.
I would hope that claim of an allergy would have to be backed by a doctor to be viewed as worth anything. That said, I had one doctor tell me that my child was allergic to penicillin only to have another say that the presentation was all wrong and that he wasn't. The second was so sure he put my child right back on penicillin and he was, apparently, correct. Good thing too, you can get into taking some really nasty drugs (in terms of side effects / mortality rates) if you are allergic to penicillin.
That's pretty good evidence that there is some relationship, you are right.
However, R is developed by a team out of the University of Wisconsin Statistics Department, lead by Doug Bates. I believe that the team at UW, not GNU, makes decisions about the direction for R's future development.
Nevertheless, your original point stands and I agree with you that I don't see that team moving from linux any time soon.
This is about R. That would be difficult to do with a list of contributors this long not impossible, well, yeah, probably impossible. http://www.r-project.org/contr...
The thing is that you are guessing about how it might work, not actually knowing how it does work.
If your account gets hacked and the money is transferred within the country, it can simply be recovered by transferring the money back because all the accounts fall under the same 'governance', even internationally there are some agreements for returning stolen money.
On the startup podcast, one of their investors accidentally wired the money to the wrong account and they only got most (about 2/3) of their money back because the other side had withdrawn another portion. The bank and police offered no assistance in getting back the rest.
This, however, is clearly a post about business models and the economy, or I assume it is, tl;dr The business side of technology is irrelevant to my interests, business is just a bad reality TV show.
I am an economist and this drivel is more like, "what I think I recall based on having taken econ classes a long time ago" than it is about economics or business. I would never endorse any of the above logic attributed to economists, with the possible exception of the first day Apple pricing which I would talk about simply in a college class even though actual economists know full well why a company might use that pricing model.
News flash: what's taught in college economics is known to not be correct, it's just part of a liberal arts education.
just not the kind of control that the majority of Americans desire
I'm not so sure. I think the President (who ever that is) typically wants to keep the country safe and the NSA wants to do the same and they think that they are doing it correctly. I think people want the to be safe and it's tough as the person who is actually President to cut off the means employed by the NSA and hope that you are correct and the ends will still be there knowing that if there were an attack it could easily be your decision that allowed it and all it's nasty side effects.
All that said, I'd personally like more court involvement. In particular, I see no reason the judicial process couldn't happen in a classified arena. If the lawyers had security clearances and all judges already do, then I see no reason they couldn't just have closed proceedings without juries, but at least have some oversight from an outside body.
Another viable option for checks would be an Inspector General, covered by the Inspector General act and so truly independent from the agency itself, who could issue reports to the President and Congress.
Perhaps, but it was just a news letter. Anyways, the least expensive house in bounds for the school would be about $400,000 (and that would be a 1 BR condo that is boarded up and has a high association fee).
I knew someone who worked for a marketing firm and he said, "we either track your purchases through your loyalty card or your CC number, it's your choice if you save the money or not." Perhaps they store a hash of the CC number, but it's a unique key for you, rest assured.
Try Discover or AmEx. They both own their own networks and so the website is current almost instantly. Visa is owned by no bank, so everybody has to wait to get the info. This also lets Discover and AmEx find fraudulent charges much faster and alert you to them right away.

It's called "salt" and it's either a good or bad thing, depending on if you prefer fast development or low incidence of bugs.
There are people who have verified purchases swearing that they can tell the difference, many of them...

You know they are a crap tech company because the "amazon" app on the kindle is harder to use than the browser, pointed at the amazon.com website.
Why can't I make it "try again" on a book that it thinks I have that is in the 80k books you have some rights / discounts on?

please enable your microphone
Not necessary on an Andriod phone where FB already has access to use the microphone without telling you--and you can't disable this without root.

sorry, point being, we can all afford computers.
Perhaps, but it was just a news letter. Anyways, the least expensive house in bounds for the school would be about $400,000 (and that would be a 1 BR condo that is boarded up and has a high association fee).
There is still a unique identifier for the customer, otherwise there would be no way to report the transaction to the bank and actually get the money.
uh, except the unique transaction number?

Any system that relies on a number that you cannot hide remaining private is doomed to failure. But that's exactly what we have.
