Exactly the opposite. They designed their system to comply with the law (delete the data). Now the EFF wants them to do something different (retain the data so they can peruse it). If you've ever worked a a big system you would know that a major requirements change like that cannot be implemented quickly or easily.
What I find most interesting here is the outrage we keep seeing on/. when a story is posted about search warrants that are too broad. But now the EFF has essentially requested a search warrant for everything the NSA has.
I have to agree with you on both points. Although it's more likely the venture capitalists who are trying to get out of the sinking boat at this point.
The best "text books" I ever had were from professors who provided us with about 100-200 pages of course notes
The only point I ever saw in textbooks were the homework problems. It saves the instructor the trouble of coming up with good practice problems and the Teacher's Manual gives them the answers so they can grade the homework.
The centrifugal force causes the car to lean _out of_ bends.
A properly designed car doesn't "lean". Passengers feel the force of acceleration around a turn, this tilts the car so the force is into the seat rather than across the seat.
Hard to believe that a couple inches makes all that much difference. Yea, I read the article - the Marshall Islands are low and flat. But I've also seen the open Pacific Ocean, where 20 foot waves are normal. I assume bones have been washing up every year since the war; Japan lost over 17,000 soldiers during the four month battle for the two islands.
The problem with building a human habitat in such a remote location is lack of heavy machinery and lack of energy source. It has to be almost self erecting and require very little (or at least very lightweight) material and only the power a human wearing a bulky suit can provide. Ideally it would be near a source of water and situated where the Sun and wind are favorable. Of course even if you could build it and get people moved in they wouldn't have anything to do that a robot couldn't do better.
They subsidize new markets to kill competition. Once they have a monopoly they raise prices to subsidize another market entry. It'll work for a while, until other cheap manufacturing that doesn't require a lot of almost free labor is available.
Try to find the full Rodney King video. Then compare it to what the media outlet broadcast - they tell two different stories. I'm not saying there wasn't police brutality in that case but I am saying that the video which inflamed the public and caused other people to be beaten to death was not truthful.
It's not turning a profit. Buried in the article is the fact that none of the employees are getting paid. The "profit" would turn into a six figure loss if they accounted for all of their costs.
it seems the correct answer is to make a Humanities Phd harder to get, not easier.
I think the best solution is more articles like TFA. Put the word out that it's foolish to get a PhD in a field where the only employment option is teaching graduate students.

Which is the real point; only Apple applications can connect and track.
...and Apple not wanting to share it with Google.
With the collapse of Goldman Sachs they were ALMOST there
Not even close. Goldman Sachs was a front for AT&T that was no longer needed.
Does your hack work on Android phones too? If so I'm interested.
Best calculus book ever was Calculus Made Easy. It really makes the subject as clear as possible. Everything since is filler.

Or eat some kimchi and change his name to Kim Got Ill
Actually there is no NSA, it's a smoke screen for an agency you don't know exists.
The primary cause of glaciers shrinking is particulates in the atmosphere. This has been reported many times, but it doesn't fit with the whole Global Warming sound bite so it's generally ignored.
fossil fules have received 594 billion dollars in subsidies
Every business gets tax deductions. Those are not subsidies.

Most "environmentalist" concerns are NIMBY concerns.
China is a Second World country
First World - western countries aligned with NATO
Second World - communist bloc (USSR before it broke up, China, etc)
Third World - everyone else

That's the goal of this proposal - turn that cheap shit into expensive shit. Then it will be okay to buy it.
All this algorithm reveals is who the algorithm ranks highest. I wouldn't draw any conclusions beyond that.

The lights are made in China.
What is your "democratically elected" government worth in the face of that?
It makes and enforces laws based on the will of the majority. There will always be a few dissenters.
