Wake me up when we're able to fingerprint the same user across different devices. *That* will be freaky - and, admittedly, will interest me as a marketer.
. As great as this is for consumers, it's even better for the likes of TripAdvisor and Yelp, whose business model relies on people being able to speak their minds.
Yelp is a glorified e-racketeer that collects extortion fees from small businesses the world over. Please spare me the "people being ale to speak their minds" BS.
Eventually he got inmpeached and the new Gov discovered that free rides were not sustainable. So they means tested it.
Dunno how they discovered it wasn't, but FWIW it might be an unfortunate (mis-)find.
Public transportation where I live is free for seniors. Trains, metros, busses, boats, etc., in all cities and between all cities. Everything except airplanes. It surprised me somewhat when I came here for the first time, and it certainly surprised my parents when they first came (since as EU seniors they didn't need to pay either), but apparently this has been going on since the communist era.
There arguably is a cost. Perhaps one can shrug it off as in "meh, the bus is scheduled anyway. The only point in time where it might be problematic is during rush hours when you need to field a few more busses." Or perhaps not.
Either way, the positive side effects are observable when you care to look: seniors tend to visit their children and grand children across the country instead of it being the other way around like where I'm from - and more often, at that. You see seniors everywhere, and the contrast in their behavior is palpable when I compare this with the other two dozen or so countries I've lived in. When they do go out they can afford to go to cafes and restaurants, give some money to their kids and grand kids, etc. Plus nanny savings that allow single moms to work more than part-time where applicable.
I've no idea if the net economic balance is positive, but when you factor in the quality of life side effects across generations it certainly seems worth doing.
Not only. As I understood it's different from a structural standpoint when you've an earthquake that goes up/down (Japan) or one that goes right/left (California). It's a different kind of stress.
You're not going to lure top talent to your country to try and make a billion dollar business when you promise to tax most of their income at 75%..
If memory serves, that was the tax rate for income beyond the first million euros. Do you personally know *anyone* who makes even close to that? The explicit target were the clique of fatcat CEOs who sit in each others' boardrooms and vote their respective salaries up.
Google, WTF? Are you seriously going to settle with letting a security researcher break your security gizmo twice in a row in two days? Your credibility is on the line here... [Grabs popcorn]
Autoplaying makes zero sense on streaming sites as well. If you open multiple videos in as many tabs, you want to watch them one by one in sequence, rather than all in parallel because some punk decided that auto-playing was a good thing.

There's contention on the actual effect of the currents themselves though:

What proportion of internet users use a PC to begin with?

Nuclear is the other big chunk of their business.
We monitored this a bit around Xmas last year. It wasn't so endemic, at least on the sites and products we were monitoring, except on Amazon:

Actually, there are denialists outside the US too. For instance Lubos Motl (Czech) or Ian Plimer (Australian).
Or not... Quoting my American aunt: Why should I care? I've nothing to hide...
(And yeah... little does she know... but that's her thought process.)
There are many ways to work around that, e.g. crawlera.com (disclaimer: working there)
Why use Gimp in that case? For that kind of stuff, MS Paint works...

Fn + Up/Down for Page Up/Down works fine on my end. Not sure what you did with your device.
Print them where you want to sell them. :-)

Dude... Get a life. That's how we live on this side of the pond. And you should too,for your own health and sanity, and that or your family.
They're out of toilet paper, just like the Soviets.

This, and they only accept the International Court of Justice's jurisdiction on a case by case basis.
Europe didn't *completely* give up fighting. Let's not forget the Balkans after the break up of Yugoslavia. Or Ukraine in recent months.

By forcing users to enter $0 when they download, don't they make the users implicitly commit to a statement that the software is worthless?
... when they attempted to regulate the value of Pi.
