I'm buying some Equifax stock right now while it drops, they'll ultimately grow back...
Honestly, I've been thinklng the same....trying to see if it bottoms out and buy stock....but every time I think it is slowing down, they do something fscking stupid AGAIN.....and the bottom keeps dropping.
Obviously he had no problems getting in, likely he could have run out as that it didn't sound like the guy who caught him had a gun or anything.
If this guy had been any good, he'd have been able to hit a dead mans type switch on the hardware he had with him (if he couldn't grab it), and just run the fuck out of the building.
I hate what he did, but geez....I really hate him worse for being stupid.
You know...while I do not consider myself an Apple Fanboy....I have enjoyed many of their products over the past years.
But man...after Steve passed away, it does seem to be going downhill there.
The UI is just not as intuitive anymore.
Gaffs of things not working, like the watch LTE problems on release, and stuff like this.
I had hoped the folks he'd had following him had had some of the intuition he'd displayed on how things should be (some losers, but mostly good IMHO) and work that make products easy and fun to use for he user, and have them be intuitive.....but alas, that does not seem to be the case and we see blunder after blunder and design and UI flaw after flaw.
How is this legal? Shouldn't WTO or trade agreements make this kind of government subsidy impossible these days?
WTF should the WTO or external to the US body have anything to say about what business happens within a country's borders? They have nothing to stay about what happens within a US state and a private entity.
This is the best solution. The incentives are a prisoner's dilemma. Each jurisdiction feels compelled to offer them because others offer them, but they would all be better off if no one offered them. Preventing this sort of self-destructive competition between the states is exactly why the commerce clause [wikipedia.org] exists.
Except this is NOT interstate commerce....that concept has been bastardized badly over the years, allowing federal overreach....but this is a bit of a stretch to say this is.
This is purely between a state and a private business. This is not dealing with sale of goods between states which is interstate commerce.
What's next'? States (and even cities) can't compete for the Olympics? They can't compete to have the Super Bowl?
This is NOT the purview of the Federal Govt. And should not be.
If you're on multiple platforms, why do you necessarily need to be using the same browser everywhere? Unless you're willing to let Google track you (e.g. by logging in and using their "cloud" bookmarks), there's no particular advantage to it.
I do similar to what you do....different browsers for different OSes...
I primarily use Safari on OS X and IOS.
I pretty much use Firefox on Linux and Windows...except some work applications that seem to only want to work with IE. so I use that only for a select few things.
I've tried Chrome a couple of times and just never really cared for it...I think it was almost too minimalist and I could get it set up they way I like things.
I actually don't know many people that use Chrome, but then again, maybe it's a younger crowd primarily for chrome?
In that case I would find knowledge of quick and painless methods of suicide much more valuable, but YMMV. Note that you can't go weeks without potable water, so you would want to focus on that before the squirrel. Also, there are vegetarian solutions that would be much more viable, safe, and that would taste a hell of a lot better.
Of course you're correct, water would be #1 priority.
But for food....if it gets that bad...I'm not ruling out ANY options....vegetable or animal, hopefully both.
BUT, being that the whole path of the Hyperloop will be ground based, there will be MANY more points of attack along the route by those with terroristic minded activities to plan.
There is no reason to be writing paper checks in the US either.
To pay one's taxes is a good reason to have a checkbook.
I've tried to pay state and federal, and if you use a credit card, well, they've farmed that out to a contractor that charges a pretty hefty FEE to do that transaction.
So, I still send paper checks annually at least to pay my taxes.
I also like to throw them checks at Costco...they just run it through their printer that types out all the info and all I have to do is sign it....easy as cash.
I like to pay most of my bills online, but even some of them aren't electronically associated with my bank, so, my bank actually cuts and mails them a physical check.
Also, many places will give you the cash rate with a check, rather than the 3% uncharge for credit cards
In general, cash and check transactions do not incur extra processing fees, and hence are still valuable to me.
Remember when you used to be able to just shoot a squirrel in your yard and cook it for dinner?
...Damn this new fangled technology. I so long for the days when we weren't dependant upon it!
Well, having those skills and capabilities are still good to have, just in case the power grid goes down for an extended period of time due to something like a hurricane or sun storms hitting earth.
After going a few weeks with no power, no fuel and no food/water to the grocery stores, knowing how to shoot, clean and eat a squirrel might sound pretty good.
For anyone paying attention, Apple is famous for selling overpriced gear
Well, they seem to have a good idea of the maximum $$ they can sell their products for, and that, after all, is the main reason for a business, right?
And, its not like a person can go out and build their own phones from parts from NewEgg, right?
Apple is the go to brand for people wanting a status statement instead of just a computer or a phone
I dunno about that....phones (even smart phones) these days are pretty much a commodity possession, they really aren't a fashion or status symbol or statement. Nobody really notices what phone or computer someone is using....unless they are wanting to steal it.
Also, if anyone have been paying attention, people with no clue about computers tend to prefer Apple products.
You did hit the nail on the head with the one.....and that actually is a positive I think, apparently Apple knows how to make user friendly products for the masses that aren't tech inclined as their primary interest.
I say use the right tool for the job....I work mostly with Linux and OS X at home. I do like OS X in that for common uses, it is easy to use with the GUI, but when I want to, it is easy to pull up a command line and do some real Unix style work.
It is for everyone? No...
But obviously the company is doing something right. And if you can't afford their products, nothing wrong with getting something similar somewhere else.

Hard to have a hurricane party without rum....
This china corporate spy was just plain "stupid".
Why didn't he just RUN when he was caught.
It's not like he had any deniability at all....
Obviously he had no problems getting in, likely he could have run out as that it didn't sound like the guy who caught him had a gun or anything.
If this guy had been any good, he'd have been able to hit a dead mans type switch on the hardware he had with him (if he couldn't grab it), and just run the fuck out of the building.
I hate what he did, but geez....I really hate him worse for being stupid.
I would think at this point, the shareholders could unite, and vote to sweep the entire company clean....and start over.
I agree with you on all, with the exception of FCPX.
It takes a little getting used to the different editing paradigm, but I actually like it.
Once you get used to it, you can fly through edits....but it is different than the old track based Premier style approach.
Not saying either is better, just different. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
FCPX on newer Macs is damned fast too.....
But man...after Steve passed away, it does seem to be going downhill there. The UI is just not as intuitive anymore. Gaffs of things not working, like the watch LTE problems on release, and stuff like this.

No, actual interstate commerce is the SALE of goods across state lines.
No goods are being traded or having the sale impinged upon in this case.
WTF should the WTO or external to the US body have anything to say about what business happens within a country's borders? They have nothing to stay about what happens within a US state and a private entity.

This is NOT the purview of the Federal Govt. And should not be.
But..that is NOT something the federal government is empowered by the constitution to do.
The Feds have no say in how a state bargains with a company wanting to set up shop.
That is PURELY on a state level. And it should be.
I do similar to what you do....different browsers for different OSes...

Maybe use browser other than Chrome??
Nope..don't want one of those, if someone gets your debit card, that cash is GONE and it often takes a lot to get it back.
I don't often carry checks anymore, so that's not usually a risk.
But I specifically told them I wanted an ATM only card, not debit.
For plastic transactions I prefer a regular CC, as that you don't lose money from your banking account if it is compromised.
So, I use CC when no extra charges come to me, check/cash whenever I can duck CC processing charges.
I find this often happens with purchases on gunbroker.com , or at a gun show where you get better prices for cash.
But apparently you're from Europe from you last answer, and sadly, wouldn't know anything about that.
Of course you're correct, water would be #1 priority.
But for food....if it gets that bad...I'm not ruling out ANY options....vegetable or animal, hopefully both.
Yep, only with more projectile speed and explosive potential with the vacuum aspect of the hyper loop.
I'd hardly call Louisiana a "liberal" state.
BUT, if it weren't for Al Gore inventing the Internet, none of these Musk creations would have come to life....
You just GOTTA go back to basics on this type thing.
True...
BUT, being that the whole path of the Hyperloop will be ground based, there will be MANY more points of attack along the route by those with terroristic minded activities to plan.

Actually....yes!!

Not everyone can drive a Porsche either, right?
Yep...if they'd get rid of the fscking mosquitos, I say "raise the temps"!!
Perhaps a public push for more people to host USENET servers for free or something.
If the speech is short of actually inciting someone to bodily harm, then people should be allowed to post and express it, even if it is distasteful.
