Spotify raises $526m. Apple as of earlier this year had $178b in cash reserves. Now obviously Apple isn't going to spend all it's reserves, but you're going to need a lot more than that money to win a fight against Apple.
A little bit later in the article it states "Heâ(TM)s one of no more than 50 people in Australia known to have the antibodies, according the Australian Red Cross blood service."
My guess is that he's not the only one that could be used, but only one person donating is needed to meet supply demands.
If you're a freelancer or don't have a regular employer sending you paychecks, you don't have wages that can be garnished. If you calculate your tax withholding or estimated taxes right, you don't give the government an interest free loan and you won't have a return that will be garnished. If you have little assets, suing you probably will cost them more than they could recover.
Life would probably become more difficult than someone with good credit, but probably not impossible. You aren't going to qualify for car loans or mortgage, but renting isn't impossible with bad or no credit as long as you aren't real picky and can make a few month's down payment.
if they get the public to vilify encryption users as criminals
It's really hard to vilify encryption users when everyone is a encryption user. Sign on to anything recently? Bam. You're now an villainous encryption user.
There was a recent legal case that dealt with this exact thing. AF Holdings (aka Prenda Law) sued Joe Navasca accusing him of pirating porn via Bittorrent in January of 2012, but didn't file any paperwork on the case until May 2012. During discovery AF accused Navasca of improperly spoliated evidence by using CCleaner to clean his hard drive. The judge found that the defendant had been using the program regularly for several years prior to the lawsuit and until Navasca was served, had no duty to preserve any evidence.
Sorry, but there's a reason that Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and everyone else has an Irish datacenter - they have to control and process UK and EU user's data within the EU, according to strict laws, or risk enormous fines.
The fact that they have some of the most favorable corporate tax laws allowing them to shield billions from US taxes by setting up a nexus there I'm sure has nothing to do with it.
That isn't the actual recall notice, it's the press release about the recall notice. Just about every non-financial press release I've ever read has some blurb equally fluffy about the company or division that is releasing the press release.
This is genius (assuming people get to like the style). It is such a pain to try to work on anything around the house when you have to guess where the conduits go, or fiddle with a plumbing trap through a one foot opening that can't even fit a slip wrench. Walls covered with pulverized rocks made a lot of sense when they were just there for privacy but now that the lifeblood of a house is running through them architects should figure out how to make the whole system more accessible.
Thanks for allowing me to remember how I felt before I got married and had my design decisions told to me.
There's been some recent studies that have suggested a link between the inability to detect sarcasm and dementia. Those with disorders that appear somewhere on the autism spectrum also can have difficulties detecting sarcasm, especially in written works or when there are no physical cues to imply sarcasm (a smile, wink, etc).
In Jack Warner's case, I don't think dementia or an ASD is the issue. I think it's just that he's corrupt as hell and grasping for anything at all. He just grabbed a concrete cinder block instead of a lifepreserver.
require regular testing to make sure she's not hyperthyroidic or hyothyroidic.
How regular is regular though? Taking a test once every 3 months and adjusting your medication up or down a fraction of a milligram is an inconvenience. But it's a lot better then having to test 4-8 times a day and making significant changes to the dosage level due to what was ate, activities planned, illness, and how the body reacts to all of that. As a diabetic myself, I'd trade in an instant having to deal with hyper/hypo-thyroidism over diabetes any day.
The Clinton bill is a mixture of: provisions eroding constitutional and statutory due process protections, selective federalization â" on political grounds â" of state crimes (minus state due process rules), discredited ideas from the Reagan and Bush Administrations, and the extension of some of the worst elements of crime bills of the recent past.
So it's just a rehash of the powers that Reagan and Papa Bush wanted but couldn't get.
Those in power want more power...regardless of political affiliation. Shocking.
It would depend a lot on how it's implemented and how it's to be used. Yeah, it would very much suck if they are just scraping all your contacts and then mass spamming them. But the privacy policy actually just says Contacts Information:
If you permit the Uber app to access the address book on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access and store names and contact information from your address book to facilitate social interactions through our Services and for other purposes described in this Statement or at the time of consent or collection.
Notice the "If" at the beginning? And it's really no different than any other app that allows you to post/share/sent something to a friend or family member. What if one Uber app user could send a referral/promo code to a friend or family member. Uber servers may not be sending the information, it might come from your phone via SMS or email, but the app itself.
...or eat the same, but exercise more. Burn more calories than you consume. Or better yet, eat fewer calories and exercise more. Burn the obesity candle at both ends.
I think he may be referring to something Amnesty International put out several years ago. They state that at that time there were 3.5m homeless and 18.5m vacant houses.
The problem with that statistic is that the 18.5m vacant houses weren't necessarily bank-owned homes. That number includes seasonal vacancies, unrented rental properties, people looking to sell their property, homes awaiting move in, etc. You can see a current break down at Table 4 here.
The 3.5m homeless also depends on how you define homeless. In 2013, a Congress report by HUD but the number on any given night around 600,000. The 3.5m number is likely the number of individuals over the course of a year that experience homelessness of more than a night or two.
The numbers are significant either way, it just helps to state how the numbers came about. That's the great (or bad) thing about statistics, you can cut them up and make them say whatever you want.

Anyone know why I can't get to any search engine now?

Wage garnishment, IRS refund garnishment, indefinite threat of lawsuit for federally held loans too.
That's pretty racist and stereotypical. Sanjay helps with tech support. Ming helps with math.

If you are going to get your head cut off regardless, you might as well make it as sharp as possible...
No, it means you don't have to have a terrestrial or satellite cable TV subscription in order to subscribe to the streaming service.

You can't be a felon unless you're convicted, and you can't be convicted unless you're indicted. So you can't say we're all un-indicted felons.
Want to place a bet on that? I'll take the Over.

If only there was a giant source of light in the galaxy constantly releasing more energy then we ever could hope to use that we could harness...

So you're deciding your vote on a single issue that will halt surveillance for all of a day and a half?

I've never seen a leased line have a 100% uptime guarantee as it's impossible to provide. There is always some chance out an outage.

Because none of the MakerBots are LASER cutters/engravers, rather just FDM 3D printers?
