Jeff Bezos recently spent $40,000,000 to build a clock inside a goddamned mountain. I can't help but think how many homes he could have built with that (in San Fran? Like 35.)
Having been homless myself I can say 100% of homeless that are homeless for more than a few months are homeless by their own choice. There are many govt and private churches ready to help them get jobs and shelter. They're only homeless because they're on drugs or crazy or refuse to work or a combination of the three. Look at how many illegal aliens pour into the US and somehow find jobs and shelter all without having a valid social security card which means there are many jobs they are ineligible for.
It's not so much as evading privacy restrictions as locking out users for which privacy protections have been mandated.
If anything you could use it as an indication to ether do or refuse to do business with a company based on what side of the GDPR fence you want to be.
Sounds like the GDPR fence is too high and risks too great for most companies to bother with unless their entire business revenue comes from countries with GDPR protections. Legislators can only ask a company to jump through so many hoops before they decide it's just not worth it. For example, say a website had a average profit of $50 per EU user per year. But to implement GDPR and hire a data protection officer will average $100 per EU user per year. It's just not worth it to the company, they either charge EU users much more or lock them out.
The community change I cannot take is how the social injustice
movement has permeated it. When I joined llvm no one asked or cared
about my religion or political view. We all seemed committed to just
writing a good compiler framework.
Somewhat recently a code of conduct was adopted. It says that the
community tries to welcome people of all "political belief". Except
those whose political belief mean that they don't agree with the code
of conduct. Since agreement is required to take part in the
conferences, I am no longer able to attend.
The last drop was llvm associating itself with an organization that
openly discriminates based on sex and ancestry (1,2). This goes
directly against my ethical views and I think I must leave the project
to not be associated with this.

The Outreachy link does say they do not accept males that are caucasian, European, Asian or Arabic. I think he's right for leaving, I would not want to be part of a group that actively discriminates either.
We've already paid for our internet use, through our ISP. This is about ISPs wanting to make deal with companies to charge you varying amounts (or on top of what you already pay for service) based upon the source of the content. You paid for it, why does the ISP care if that data is coming from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, CNN, Youtube?
But none of that is happening. These laws weren't put into place until 2014, and no ISP had abused net neutrality before then, it was just a knee jerk reaction to a "what if" scenario. Trump repealed them and again, no ISP is abusing net neutrality. Stop crying wolf.
With a less hostile North Korea there will be very little need for the south to have US around, and US soldiers aren't exactly popular among South Koreans.
No, the bases will stay, less people probably but they'll still be in South Korea just like they're in many other countries. And while they protest the bases they still love the money the soldiers spend.
Average internet connection speed in the United States in 2007 was 3mbps. In 2017 it was 18. That's 6x more in 10 years. If that rate continues the average internet speed will be able to stream 8k by the time these new tvs drop to reasonable prices. https://www.statista.com/stati...
When 4k came out at five digit prices how much content was available for that? Obviously no one is going to run out to spend $13,000 on a 70" 8k screen. This is for the future, when 100mbit broadband is more common. Remember the cheapest, smallest 4K screens from budget brands like Westinghouse and Hisense were a whopping $4,000-$5,000 in 2013. Those same tvs sell for $300 today. http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/1...
Do they plan on putting this on Youtube and attempting to monetize it?
I know Eventbrite was used to sell tickets to a New Years Eve party with a famous band a few years back so yeah, they could probably monetize the content.
Trump didn't take away dreamers rights. They were already illegal aliens, whether they came here illegally at 10 or 50. Laws are just being enforced like they always have been. Even liberal media ABC admitted Obama deported more than any other president and Trump is continuing what Obama started http://abcnews.go.com/Politics...
Your own link proved yourself wrong. Again, traveling to your own property is not a "vacation" anymore than going to your own backyard is a "vacation". The link you posted said he was going on vacation because he traveled to his own property. That is not a vacation.
Trump isn't paying himself to go on vacation. And security is the same at his property or the White House, so all these "millions" people claim he's spending on vacation security would have been the same.
Windows phones were out before iphone. They were called Windows Mobile. They were rather popular too, only real problem is they needed a stylus, some apps downloaded to PC and transferred to the phone, and the touchscreen keyboard was small and sucked, but that was the way things were back then so we didn't know any different. Apple came out with full touchscreen designed for fingers, not stylus, and a well designed App Store built into the device.
I came here to say this... without any context he just sounds super pretentious. He may well be right, but good arguments are backed up with evidence, and his is not.
Agreed. He starts with a premise we can all agree with, then loses everyone by blaming Trump.
Anyone blaming Trump still is stuck in the Silicon Valley bubble. Nothing that they said would happen has happened. Stocks did not drop, unemployment did not increase, economy did not tank, no one's civil rights have been taken away.
He goes down to his own property to play golf. That's like saying playing golf in your backyard costs millions. How can that possibly cost more than the almost weekly vacations previous presidents took to Hawaii and Africa?
Interesting that you didn't call him Obama's FCC chairman, because if it was Trump's or Bush's I have a feeling that important detail would have been mentioned.

500 million people all joining another social network sounds nice but won't happen. Regulation is required. Just like Verizon can't sell access to all your text and calls, neither should anyone else. "But Facebook is a private company!!" I hear. And Verizon isn't? There has to be a way to monetize Facebook without invading everyone's privacy.
Anyone else find it ironic that the article that says to leave Facebook says "Join the debate on Facebook" at the bottom? https://www.counterpunch.org/2...
Slashdot Mirror
Trump has had absolutely ZERO to do with North Korea wanting to talk.
Really? Because even CNN says South Korea gives Trump the credit for opening talks: "South Korea credits Trump for opening door to talks with North"
Or we can build them homes?
This.

Who are the professionals? Because there doesn't seem to be any, or at least none that are doing anything.
At least I know Apple isn't selling our faces unlike Apple's competitors.

Sounds like there were more examples showing discrimination of certain religions and politics, but he only mentioned the outreachy example.

what about a curve? It's called calculus, not hard to measure a curve, high school students can do it.

I've never had a job that offered vacation days. The woes of being a IT contractor, never hired, always used awhile and thrown away
