It is BAD for EVERYONE to allow this sort of unethical, dishonest behavior. It is incumbent on ALL peoples to demand that the entity 'Microsoft' fix this, and all related behaviors, immediately in order to regain any integrity. Until MS stops treating people like money mines, they need to be boycotted.
Seems like we are hopelessly done: Even though it is prudent to err on the side of caution, especially since this is a matter of survival, the majority of humankind still refuses to take remedial action. Thus, we are a self-sabotaging race of idiots that deserves the extinction we are headed for. We empower dangerous people: Hitler, Stalin, Trump,... We ignore scientific data that clearly suggests steps to taken immediately. Are you angry enough to do something radical yet?!
... Apparently Netflix offered Disney a better deal for the content than Hulu, et al. Disney doesn't make movies just to make us happy. They do it to make money. That is the American Way.
Acknowledged on the money thing. Yet, my question is: Why cannot Hulu, et al, also have the same deal simultaneously? Or, perhaps a different deal? How is it different that I should have the right to choose my ISP? I get that different ISPs offer different packages (i.e. speeds, etc...), yet it is still access to the internet and all the content there in it's multitude of forms. Seems to be a grey area here.
I believe that breakfast, itself, is not being thwarted. Just that it may not be as bad to skip it if you feel the desire. It may still be better for you, yet not necessarily to force yourself to eat breakfast. Seems to me to more important to BE AWARE of your own real needs and best practices. Not everyone is the same. Not everyone is an interchangeable part of a super Matrix. The point is: THINK. It is far better to be sure you get all the facts and stop eating bullshit - for knowledge OR breakfast!
Correct me if I'm wrong, yet is this not along the lines of a monopoly? What if I prefer Amazon Prime, or Hulu? Now I have to have Netflix , too?! How about if Disney just make their content available to ALL providers. Let the market compete for the content. It's the American way, isn't it?!
A solution, that is, for COLLECTING H. This improves a small part of the 'cycle' of using H. It is still quite inefficient compared to other sources. And, it is still quite a dangerous thing (more so than say, gasoline) to keep around in a compressed tank.
Estonian movies - just what I've been waiting for!
I don't get the 'joke' here. What's funny about Estonians making movies? What if there is a really really good Estonian movie? Wanna see it yourself? I'd like to at least have the opportunity.
How is it possible to withdraw $907 from an ATM every 1.9 seconds?! How is it possible to withdraw anything from an ATM every 1.9 seconds unless there are thousands working together?! Or, was it all done as e-transfers to another account? Something is amiss: facts are missing, or this is another hoax.
It seems sooooo easy to screen job candidates based on qualifications that to hire based on other factors would be NOT in the best interest of the company. How about testing CURRENT employees for qualifications?! I have, MANY times, encountered personnel from a company I hired that are far under-qualified for the job they were supposed to be doing, and the 'diversity data' of these incompetents' do NOT jive with any numbers I see here. If you are NOT qualified, either GET qualified or find a more suitable job!
These apparent turn-abouts are a clear indication that management is incompetent. I say this because it appears that Mr Luckey may have come to the realization that his hardware endeavor may suffer sales. It is his company, and he can do whatever. Yet, he really ought to define a solid mission for the company and stick to it.
Perhaps a meteor hit it. Perhaps it was a covert assassination of a passenger by an unfriendly state. Or, perhaps a serious defect of the plane itself.
You are correct. A 'pitch' is COMMONLY known as a field. Readers paying attention would see that this news is from a Russian source. As we all know, American football' happens only in the USA. Everywhere else 'football' is soccer, including in Russia. And, by the way, soccer is FAR more popular than 'American football'. So, then, those not getting the 'football pitch' reference are in a quite small minority; perhaps some of whom are also likely narcissistic and arrogant. Yet, I digress from here!
Google is so big and the fines so insignificant that it likely pays google to scan and analyze whether legal or not. Sure - fine for $400 while I make thousands (per instance). Such is corporate corruption in the USA these days. Individuals have no rights. IF YOU WANT THEM BACK You know who can get it going: Bernie.
It is time to classify internet access as a public utility. Period. It is totally unethical for ISPs to capitalize users every year with another unreasonable rate hike - or worse, unreasonable options. My elderly mother watches 3 broadcast stations only, and relies on the iPad (Facetime) to keep in touch with her grandkids (et al). She cannot afford, nor physically tolerate, the extensive travel to keep in touch as often as should be. Internet communications fill that need. She does not even want cable TV (which is all garbage reruns anyway), yet is being told that cable TV plus internet is $40/mo (for pitiful speeds of 768K - this is NOT DSL!) yet internet alone is $65/mo - for the same speed. Internet has become a necessity to maintain contact with our most valuable citizens - our wise elderly - to afford a more pleasant final years of existence and to keep them actively current within the family. This 'new' plan threatens to unreasonably increase her cost where there is no increase in her "income" (husband's pension) to cover it. So, perhaps she can cut back on food or water or sewer or taxes or other necessity to pay the cable CEO's rediculous salary! BULLSHIT! Make the internet more easily affordable and available as a right, since it has become as necessary as water and sewage, and police protection. What say you?

Looks like an opportunity for humans to raise their own intelligence!
In other words, one is not entitled to a job. One earns the job.

If they are so sure, couldn't they just borrow funds against their sure Nobel Prize for such a find?

I want my freakin' money back! I fought and lost a legally parked car violation! AND, pay for the wasted time and suffering!
Yep! Just like the poor souls in the USA! All way overworked and enslaven to big money corporations! I am moving to France!

How about we collect all of these "Math/Arithmetic whiz kids" into a "Collective Intelligence" machine and predict some important stuff?
Considering the Trump campaign, "Collective Intelligence" seems to me to be an oxymoron!
