It all depends on what factors you use to calculate inflation.
For merchandise possible to purchase via Amazon, Ebay or other similar large scale web source then it's holding down inflation since prices are severely pushed down. But for other merchandise like food and similar that don't do well on Amazon and Ebay then inflation can be quite different.
Without Net Neutrality you as a customer would have to pay extra for access to any service that the ISP don't have a payback agreement with. It would also allow ISPs to create their version of YouTube where they decide which videos that you can watch and set the standard for the videos you can post.
The problem isn't the SSN, the problem is that it's not used in a proper way to assert identity.
Use the SSN to look up additional infornation to validate the identity of the person like biometric data and full name and match that to the person that's trying to get some service.
Then also use capital punishment for ID theft, that would make offenders to think twice before they mess up things.
I hope more for Facebook to go away. Microsoft has had its peak, but will probably not go away. Oracle is at larger risk. it's big and bulky with an unclear business strategy. Several cloud service providers are at risk. Some ISPs with bad customer treatments. Analog land lines are already dying in bulk. Trumps real estate business is probably at risk. Apple - past Jobs the vision is gone.
But they don't really know which way people want to go, they will just know the route they take that they think is the best for them.
What you need is a bigger picture. Looking only at those that uses public transportation and not everyone gives a skewed view. You don't capture routes where there's a need only routes that are congested.
Drop analyzing the flow in the pipes, look at the end points of people as a group. Clumping together travel routes for people based on where they are at fixed times as a group - like 05:00 (most likely at home), 10:00 (most likely arrived at work), 15:00 (starting to think about going home), 20:00 (most likely at home again). Build a map sectioned in hexagons, first large scale then smaller scale over the area you want to analyze and then use logaritmically scaled lines to see how movements are distributed. That will tell you which routes you should focus on to provide most efficient public transportation.
The USS John McCain and Fitzgerald incidents comes to mind.
And even though the GPS system requires atomic clocks a system to cause trouble doesn't have to have the same precision - it just has to cause headache by offsetting incoming data.
You confuse it with the fictional world of Narnia.
Zambia exists.
It would be more interesting to see if the Malaria parasite would adapt and become resistant to the gene modified mosquitoes. I would prefer to get rid of the mosquitoes totally unless they are made by de Havilland.
Even better would be to pipe all traffic through monitoring systems - and radio seal the whole prison so that phones will only roam to the base stations inside the prison.
Any calls made would be incriminating for the receiver. Text messages should be scrambled or reviewed and thrown through autocorrecters and "talk like Yoda" to mess up any covert stuff.
That's not possible. It's like everyone should have their own motorway to wherever they want to travel. Reality is that from time to time there's traffic congestion that causes problems.
Except that it's dynamically typed, not statically typed so you need to go back to the assignment to find out what's assigned to the variable or do some analysis of the variable when it has been assigned to figure out what's up.
And even if Wally World is big it's not the sharpest knife in the box breaking new ground, it's a bread and butter shop that sells on low price in bulk. A small shop can't afford to be a bulk retailer without having some really sharp knifes that attracts people.
The sharp stuff in a shop is what's tingling your senses and leads you to get inspired the same way that your senses are tingled by watching a rock climber or other extreme activity compared to watching a middle age person slacking off somewhere - that don't tingle any senses at all.
Big data suffers from the GIGO syndrome in a big way. It's often the small data in the huge pile that's really interesting.
But otherwise it's like this:
In the Beginning was The Plan And then came the Assumptions And the Assumptions were without form And the Plan was completely without substance And the darkness was upon the face of the Workers And the Workers spoke amongst themselves, saying "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh." And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and sayeth, "It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odor thereof." And the Supervisors went unto their Managers and sayeth unto them, "It is a container of excrement and it is very strong,
such that none may abide by it." And the Managers went unto their Directors and sayeth, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength." And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying one to another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong." And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents and sayeth unto them, "It promotes growth and is very powerful." And the Vice Presidents went unto the President and sayeth unto him, "This new Plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of this
Company, and in these Areas in particular." And the President looked upon The Plan, And saw that it was good, and The Plan became Policy. And this is how Shit Happens.
Using and paying for collected data works until you realize that if you base your business decisions on collected data you are following the flock, you aren't the leader.
Either you are the leader breaking new ground or you just follow the stream by collecting data or buying collected data.
As an example - if you have a shop selling electrical supplies then you make the bulk of your income selling outlets and standard appliances. Those special bleeding edge appliances like a lathe you sell rarely don't really render any direct profit. But you forget that they actually attracts customers and any customer buying them also buys a lot of other stuff "by the way" that renders a profit. If you blindly trust big data then any product that don't give a profit in sales is going out of stock and that makes your shop end up as just another shop with bland contents.

Bots don't have feelings, they are killed when they no longer serve a purpose.
I tried to make an 'execution' pun but it would be fully retarded. And you never go full retard.
Anyway - the immense use of bots indicates how important it must be for commercial interests to get rid of the net neutrality.

Wrong, you need to read the book The Number of the Beast. It states that the true number is 6^6^6.

My thought too - but given enough time it will.
A graphene calabi yau room would be quite interesting - at least it would beat the boring donut universe theory.
The problem with the new Firefox is all plugins no longer working.

You underestimate the ability for new bugs in new generations of developers.
Lynx is always an option.
Or you can use something based on curl or wget.
And Cortana not being possible to turn off is a good reason to NOT use Edge.
Jones Islands would be a great spot then.

In which case it wasn't an IBM but a clone. The pure IBM computers didn't have a reset button. Neither did the PS/2 machines.

The only catch I see here is - don't other parts of that area also need support?
