Their current batch of engineers have big batches of stock and/or stock options. They want to punt this group of engineers in a way that results in the company retaining all the stock/options, and hire a new batch for a straight salary, probably also lower than the current batch.
Clearly, google drove their vehicles the other way down every street, so they were trying to follow your convention...next time, also tell them which way to drive...
that is because, over and over and over and over, businesses, particularly big businesses, are more than happy to do ANYTHING to make an extra buck.

That's how businesses get "regulated". They SO EGREGIOUSLY kill, cheat, steal, evade that the gov't has to step in. Or else people would have to just show up and start shooting the executives.
How would you know if he's done this? He doesn't have to tell anyone it has happened.
This isn't some bizarre conspiracy, he has publicly come out and said he believe that he can do it legally.
It would take someone like another Snowden, willing to give up the rest of their life in exchange for disclosing secrets the US gov't wishes us to not know.
yeah, my cousin from Germany was pretty surprised when I told him I got my learner's permit at age 14 after doing a 30 question multiple choice test, full unrestricted license at 16 after a 1/2 drivers test. But that was 30 years ago. Now, here in Alberta, it takes something like 3 years or so to go from a learners permit to a full license, with a bunch of testing stages in the middle. But it's probably still a joke compared to the process in Germany.
Is Facebook developing those apps or did Microsoft helpfully make the apps for Facebook?
Because for quite some time, companies were getting surprised when Microsoft would release an 'app' that pretty much just wrapped a web site, but everything would point to the company creating the app, so they would get tech support calls for their app on Microsoft Windows Phone...which they didn't have and didn't know existed until phoned for tech support...
Except the President believes he has the right to, at his sole discretion, decide a given individual is bad, and can lawfully order that person to be apprehended, then removed from the US, and held without charges, a trial or any notice to anyone that it has occurred, indefinitely.
They know this. This is just being sold as a "help stop terrorists/child molesters" thing. They know that the people they most want to catch will have their stuff encrypted separately, using another app on the phone/device. And that information won't be able to be decrypted.
They want access to the general populations phones/devices, because regular people don't spend the time/effort to further encrypt their personal info. And this will give it to them.
For a basic example of this, see how the database the NSA made, supposedly to catch foreign terrorists, has just been repurposed to also help the FBI with domestic, non-terrorist crimes. Any bets on whether it will be more useful for this second purpose?
While GM with OnStar may be the first or one of the earlier systems, every manufacturer is doing this for all their 'mainstream' vehicles.
You [the vehicle purchaser] are a cheapskate, and the car company deserves more money, just for permitting you the privilege of driving their vehicle, so they must be able to monetize whatever data they can get from your vehicle, for as long it is in service.
And if anything, fleet vehicles would be more likely to have tracking, simply so the head office can keep track of all their worker bee's. And even if it still is just an option now, costs are dropping so it'll be a default feature sooner than later.
Your best bet is to try to figure out where all the antennae are and cut them all.

therefore, we shouldn't even bother trying.
Yeah, you get to go some a still-secret site in a 3rd world country for your enhanced interrogation. Probably in Arkansas somewhere.
why not? you can still buy new VHS VCRs.
You drank it too? Man, that stuff tastes GREAT! Where can I get more?
Really? I hate chewing that foil wrapper.
I very much prefer the bulk bin of chocolate.

The next swap will move development to India.
Most people posting using Twitter are Nazi's.
The reason is because you are a Nazi.
It ALREADY is "normal" for the FBI. Protesting anything means you are against the gov't and need to be watched.

Probably more likely they will go for killing cash, so you have to use a non-anonymous payment method.

Yeah, he's looking for sociopaths.
It's mainly about "which group of poor people have we not yet started to get money from, either directly or indirectly, preferably both"

The other half is now jumping around yelling "Fans. Fans. Fans." at Clippers games.
Sorry, nuance isn't a field in the list.
You are either on the list or not. And you definitely are on the list.
whoosh
google "trump sanders protesters"
Clearly Bernie Sanders is behind this attack, and therefore, Bernie Sanders is Anonymous. Arrest him!
Then you have a problem with America and capitalism. The $ is more important than anything else.
