So we should be happy because this subsidy is being removed and you proposed an alternative
Yes, you should. Because, unlike you, I'm actually proposing a answer to the problem. Where all you are doing is bitching and moaning about something being taken away. Where my solution would benefit everyone, yours benefits no one.
You have a good point. In doing so you have put forth the first issues that must be over come. The way to do that would be to figure out a way to see where it would benefit everyone. Easier said than done.
I can't say anything to your argument about religious agendas. I agree with you, but I don't have answer at this time.
Actually yes. The big issue with this, other than corruption which is the real reason it is going away, is because the "privatize everything" see a benefit to them. But city wide public access points benefit everyone, not just the poor. So they would the benefits that affect them.
I'm against the subsidizing up private internet feeds for any one but would be more than willing to get behind a public wifi system.
An the SJW here on/. have just proven my point for me. Instead of debating my point that taking this subsidy and putting into public wifi that would benefit everyone. They would rather mod my posts down as flame bate so no one will see it at all. Typical SJW thinking.
It is because SJW don't want to debate the issue and let their argument stand on its merits. I'm glad this service is going away, yet I proposed a reasonable alternative that benefits everyone. Yet SJW are yowling about a free service being taken from the poor and not willing to even entertain the ideal I put forth that would benefit the poor greater as well as everyone else.
And yet my taxes are supposed to pay for this? Wouldn't a better solution be to take that subsidy and invest it in public wifi? That way instead of unfairly benefiting the few, it could fairly benefit the many?
I actually thought of that. As appealing as the prospect is of sitting back and letting California self immolate, the consequences of such action is unthinkable. For one thing the actual process of waiting for California to go bankrupt could take years. During that time the debit would continue to rise. By the time the bankruptcy process was started it could be double what it is now, or higher. Plus the process of fixing the actual issues that caused the bankruptcy in the process would all on the same people that caused it. Incompetent elected official put in office by a large group of naive, but well meaning, voters.
That, and we would still have to endure the insane screeching of that fool Maxine Waters and the idiotic rulings of the Ninth Circuit.
Just as in bankruptcy, once the state was dissolved the rest of the states would still have to assume the burden of the public debit. But now competent people could be appointed to manage the issue. It is a better solution that letting the state fail on it's on.
That seems to be the status quo for California. One idiotic decision after another. Constant irresponsible policies by Governor Moonbeam, boarder line treasonous statements by the attorney general, and obstruction of justice by Oakland city mayor. The worse homeless problem in America and almost 1 trillion dollars in public debit. I could go on.
If the proposed Constitutional convention called by the states ever gets off the ground, maybe one of the things that should be put on the table is the dissolving of California as a state, Returning it to the status as a territory. That way a proper, more sane government body could be appointed to over see the affairs of the citizens of the territory.
We would also remove California's undo influence over the rest of the states. By returning it to a territory we would no longer have to suffer the insane rantings of fools like Maxine Waters in congress. Or the incompetent sessions of the 9 circuit. It would free the rest of from idiotic rules, like this one, put forth by a minority of the over all population.
Once sanity is returned, in say 20 years, then we could look at readmitting California as a state. But I would propose that we break up California into several smaller states. This would help prevent this issue in the future and not require such drastic action.
Maybe it's time to just start saying everything in California causes cancer and call it a day?
So, are you saying we should just put a warning label on California? Say, signs at the border. "Warning: Entering may cause loss of mental faculties and common sense. Common symptoms can include, excessive whining, delusions, and denial of reality."
I would keep waiting. For the past two months I have heard horror stories about the patches. Yet, I have not heard of any exploits that use the problems. Seems to me this is a case of the cure being worse than the illness.
Yup, labeled a troll. Typical way SJW, aka snowflakes, deal with speech they don't agree with. They would rather silence you than debate you on the merits of their beliefs.
An on this note. I have to report the failure of my kickstarter campaign to fund my plan to lower a capsule over the side of the flat earth. In which I would have attempted to make contact with the giant turtle that we all ride up on. This the true name and sex of the turtle will remain unknown to us.
Yes, to him he did. His goal was never to prove the earth isn't flat. Just to prove that it is. From the altitude that he achieved, ~1900 feet, he could not see the curvature of the earth. Thus proving to himself, and the rest of the idiots, that the earth isn't round, so therefor it must be flat.
Well, my first question would be. Has there ever been a documented case of any one being killed so someone can use their finger to unlock their phone?
I believe in being secure. My phone is locked most of the time, unlocked with a pin and a finger print. I also have nova launcher set so that I can lock it and disable the finger print scanner. It also unlocks at my home and if my wireless headphones are attached.
None of these will keep a dedicated police search out of my phone. But they will keep someone from wandering by and just going through my phone. They will also thwart, a random search by the police in the street.
To me, any thing else would just be paranoid. There is a fine point between being secure and being paranoid. I prefer not to cross that line as of yet.
Some of it is. But some since netflix started producing its on content this is becoming less of a issue. For the first time in years I actually sat down and watched each episode of a show. Normally, I will start to watch something, pause it, and come back to it later. Some times days later.
Oh, that show was Altered Carbon. If you like Blade Runner, I highly recommend this series. An the book is pretty fucking good too.
An the fact that on any service there is no guarantee that the content will be there tomorrow. There are a number of series that I have streamed off Netflix in the past only to find them gone when I wanted to go back and watch them later.
There there are things like Disney pulling all its contents off Netflix to try to milk another subscription off of us. There are a lot of, pirates, that I know that collect tv shows for just this reason. They want to have that beloved sitcom or movie they grew up watching and not have to chase it down on some obscure subscription service.
Hell, even used iPhones would be a more stable form of currency
According to this dated report I just pulled up, from 2011. Each Iphone contains 0.034 grams of gold, 16 grams of copper, 0.35 grams of silver, and 0.00034 grams of platinum.
I don't know why someone would mod this as funny. How many people here actually knows what goes into running a modern farm? It is not the typical redneck on a tractor stereotype that so many think it is. A modern farm is a complex system as anything else in the modern world. You don't just toss a handful of seeds out and hope something grows.
Most farmers that I know, and I know several, have advanced degrees, some of them more than one. That farmer out here, and those that work with their hands and earth, are probably better educated that a lot of people on this board.

But yet here you are whining an moaning about it going away and still not bring up the point.
Simple question. Would this money not be better spent on public Wifi for everyone?
An the SJW here on /. have just proven my point for me. Instead of debating my point that taking this subsidy and putting into public wifi that would benefit everyone. They would rather mod my posts down as flame bate so no one will see it at all. Typical SJW thinking.

He doesn't have enough brains for that. But the point is still valid. Why should I have to pay for someone elses private internet services?
And yet my taxes are supposed to pay for this? Wouldn't a better solution be to take that subsidy and invest it in public wifi? That way instead of unfairly benefiting the few, it could fairly benefit the many?
Let California go bankrupt!

There is always IRC.
What I want to know is how they plan to censor office. Am I not going to be allowed to write certain words into my office documents?
Damn, I love it when they prove my point for me.

Its not that we can't have one, it is we don't want one.
