I've seen quite a few xfinity wifi spots around, but in order to use them they require my Comcast credentials. I never use them because I'm not sure if it's honeypot built to steal my credentials. I could install an app to confirm if the hotspot is real, but doing so requires giving Comcast invasive permission to access data on my phone.
I hate to mention it, but the corporations don't really care how many guns you have. They own all the infrastructure that most Americans are dependent on from the food in their pantries, to the bullets in their guns.
Conservatives are for weak borders also, but they call it "free trade". The global economy requires money and services to cross borders in order to function, it is only fair that people can freely move to where the jobs land.
The free market doesn't apply to mobile carriers because the supply is limited to available radio bandwidth which must be tightly regulated by some authority in order to keep it free from interference.
This is I think, the majority view of people in college or fresh out, these days. Car ownership just isn't a thing with the new crowd. I'm a car guy, so this baffles me, but in one sense I can see it. Starting with the 50s, cars embodied freedom, but specifically a guy with a car could take his girl to a place away from prying eyes and make out or have sex, so having a good car was a critical social signal. Good car meant more likely to have sex, and that's a hell of a draw in the high school and college years.
Society has changed a lot, of course, and for young people who aren't driving enthusiasts, that social signal is vanishing. A car is seen as just an expensive hassle (even though reliability is vastly higher than cars for the 80s); just a way to get where the bus doesn't run. Well, you can't argue with taste. I don't think any of it will have much effect on the enthusiast car market anyhow: I'm entirely unconcerned with the future evolution of the Camry.
With college tuition exploding at an uncontrolled rate, all the disposable income that the kids would be spending on cars is going to the banks instead. We are transforming to a society where the majority of people don't own anything. Getting back to the article, this is a smart move by GM. If there will only be car rentals in the future with robot drivers, GM may as well get in on the ground floor of the new business model.
As corporations become larger and more bureaucratic, they become more dysfunctional. The only solution is to punish them for it. There should be penalties for behavior like this that scale up for the number of complaints received. Companies could either shape up and not commit so many errors, or split up so that the quantities of hits decreases to a manageable amount. We shouldn't be killing large dysfunctional corporations, but shrinking them to a manageable size to where we could easily drown them in a bathtub.
GMO Foods, Study after study shows no negative effect on people. However the liberal activists still fear of its danger because of the conspiracy of the Agro business is hiding the real science. It is to a point where anything GMO even if it is just extra nutrients to help feed the poor is still outcasted [sic] and millions of people starve, because it is scary science.
Liberal here with a soft anti-stance on GMO food here. I can't say that I'm against GMOs food totally, but I'm in favor of having them labeled. I'm not so much concerned by the GMO products themselves, but the potential for having my food contaminated by Round-Up or other pesticide. GMO crops are given increasingly heavy doses of the pesticides which not only threaten food safety, but the health of farmers.
That being said, I have contributed to the glowing plant Kickstarter to make bio-luminescent crops. I would also eat GMO salmon, if I liked salmon.
I'll take big government over big business any day. Sure, the government can gum up the works with regulations at times, but it's at least trying to serve the public good. I don't see a bright future with a world dominated by profit-seeking companies without any sort of rules holding them back.
Note that "mass shooting" on that website would count one person wounding himself with a firearm, then getting killed by police officers who accidently [sic] injured three more people in the process of "stopping this attack" as a "mass shooting".
I think this scenario should be counted.
Oh, and gun control won't help. Unless you're got the kind of magic that can make 300+ million firearms just poof out of existence.
And yet, deporting all Muslims from the US is seen as a brilliant idea.
I recently upgraded by 720p monitor to a 4k Smart TV and have had similar experiences. In some instances, Netflix and Amazon will actually send higher quality streams to their apps running on the Smart TV than they would a browser on an HTPC.
There were two panels that were cancelled. The one anti-harassment and one media corruption. It seems like the media boycott got the anti-harassment panel reinstated, but they don't have any serious problem with nobody caring about media corruption for some reason. It must be because the only ones that care about media corruption are all serious harassers like Anne Rice, The David Pakman Show, or KFC.
There's more nuance to things in real life unfortunately. A car manufacturer can certainly get a competitive advantage over retailers since they own a monopoly on supply. It will result in much of the money from car purchases being siphoned away from a local business towards non-taxed multi-national corporations. It might seem like it's a win for the consumer on one front, but the community will lose income and jobs. Don't expect local politicians to support this experiment you devised.
On the merchant side, it is compatible with existing Tap and pay point of sales. As far as the vendor is concerned, it is no different than any other credit card transaction. They are already quite popular in Europe.

We're supposed to be adults here, why can we not as adults choose to work for company A for $x...negotiated by the two parties. The state should not have laws the hinder the freedom of employer and employed.
So if I wanted to take out a contract to have someone break your legs, it should be legal? This arrangement is quite respectful to both me and Bruno, who likes to break legs almost as much as he likes money.
Why should it NOT be up to the individual to classify themselves at contractor or employee?
I'll stop you right there. You can't have a contract if the terms are illegal, so it's not up to the individual at all. If Uber wants to have the state enforce their agreements with their drivers, they need to follow state laws.
The system requires that all investors work from the same, publicly available information.
Insider trading is when you're working from information which is not yet available to the public.
This isn't true at all. If this were the case, there would be bans on company stock options, buybacks, and insider transactions. It's only the public that is meant to remain ignorant while investing.
Except that the people who attempt to make money trading in stocks about which they are ignorant usually lose money.
Did you read the article? People set up an illicit education program and were arrested for their trouble. The system *requires* the investors to be ignorant.
There is also a lack of a public interest waver around an abortion because it has no impact on you personally and is not in contravention of any laws.
Aside from the fact that it's funded by taxpayers.
Planned Parenthood is barred from using taxpayer money to pay for abortions. All federal money that goes to Planned Parenthood is spent on women's health, such as STD screenings, or checkups.

Which is why Apple sales are slowing ... people are finally getting the message
Unlikely. People are buying less Apple products because the one they already have is still doing the job.

I don't trust Samsung to support the smartphone app for too much longer. They don't have a good track record.

If it's too much of a problem, you could auto-forward mail sent to your Yahoo! address to your new one.
With our do-nothing government, someone has to step up and do the opposite of what they said they were going to do.

Isn't FAT32 mostly obsolete due to volume size limitations?
No. No, no, no. No. No, no. No.
