    US Warrants (in theory) also need to describe in detail what they're searching for with rationale.

  2. Wait... ISPs are common carriers? on GOP Senators' New Bill Would Let ISPs Sell Your Web Browsing Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Then why is there even a controversy of net neutrality?

    By definition, a common carrier shifts bits, without regard to where they come from or where they're going!

  3. Re:...only 13"? on Dell Doubles Down On High-End Ubuntu Linux Laptops (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    13" QHD display. A lot of programs apparently use fixed sized fonts, which are unreadable on this display (not the fault of Linux, but of the app developer).

  9. Re:misleading on Nobody Likes Uber Anymore, Recent Reviews and Ratings On App Store Suggest (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Try Lyft. It allows tipping. And in addition, I can say from experience that they (or their dev team, at least) are responsive to feedback. I had made a suggestion to them about their app, and said suggestion was in the next release. (If you're interested, it was the ability to schedule multiple destinations -- useful when you're picking someone up on the way to wherever).

    To be fair, God Emperor was OK, but I hated Heretics and Chapterhouse.

    I read the Butlerian Jihad series and the Caladan series, but couldn't bring myself to read the Brian/Kevin sequels to the main series.

    so there is no reason to hire a extra to work as a CEO.
