If you are offended by what he said, in the context of why he said it, it says more about ridiculous you are, than he is. Political Correctness is a disease, not the cure for what ails us.
Do you have a reading comprehension problem, or were you just in a hurry to express your "outrage".
Notice then, there is no question mark attached to my reply.
He also tells me that only white people are offended by the N word.
Then your "black friend" is stupid, the reason the word is offensive to everyone it's because that's what was said right before your neighbors hanged you, or right before they beat and whipped your mother in front of you.
It's the hate embodied in that word, and anyone that knows the history of it should be offended it gets used.
Shenanigans like this wouldn't be happening if a Democrat were in office.
You're joking right? R or D, new boss same as the old boss, no one gets into any position of power without being vetted and beholden to the status quo. There's literally no point in voting.
A key priority for the U.S. semiconductor industry regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement currently under negotiation has been to introduce rules to prevent restrictions on the import and use of commercial encryption technologies.
You can bet VPN and other technologies are on the plate too. If you Google "encryption and TPP" you will find a link to the PDF without having to fill anything out. http://go.semiconductors.org/w...
I think that being cognizant of exactly what you're trading off in terms of privacy vs. functionality is the important thing. I'm not quite ready to retire to the country and become a subsistence farmer.
2 things wrong here, one is you feel "being cognizant" is possible for most people when all the evidence shows otherwise. Second you go form one extreme to the other, either you're using Facebook or you're a subsistence farmer.
Silly way to debate, why even bother?
To sum up your statement easily just say "I'm trapped", because as you said you can't function without it.
I think this must affect younger users more, having been around when there were no cell phones or computers I don't feel as trapped. This powerlessness I don't understand though, all you have to do is not use the stuff.
The chief executive of Spotify, Daniel Ek, has predicted that the free online music service will help the industry grow to as much as 10 times its current size, in a future where old distinctions between providers break down.
You thought wrong. Karma (Sanskrit: ; IPA: [krm] ( listen); Pali: kamma) means action, work or deed;[1] it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).[2] Good intent and good deed contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering.[3][4]
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter spoke to technology leaders in Palo Alto, California, in April, tossing around ideas for recruiting engineers for temporary missions in government and meeting with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.
Why is the defense sec talking to Zuckerberg? How long until you have to have a FB account to log onto the "Internet".

Here's a great read on the manufactured outrage and identity politics of the day.

It's also what they said before tending your wounds, telling you to get some shade, or providing a cool drink.
You mean while blacks were slaves of course...

More identity politics and manufactured outrage, come on /, stop putting crap like this up.

Why do we need encryption rules in the TPP?

Sounds glorious, a reduction of population by at least 6 billion.
If math errors by computers due to hardware or software make us take the wrong assumptions? Especially in physics or other high end math fields.
Because a photo can't capture what a human can see, use intuition, and inspect further.
A photo sent to some bored engineer isn't going to cut it, it creates at minimum 2 levels of non involvement.
More job reduction, lower performance by drones.

That makes sense, I have to admit I am experiencing schadenfreude thinking of music execs raging because their markets have dried up.
Perhaps, it is odd though, I don't stream or even go looking for streaming yet I hear and read about Spotifiy constantly.
I think this must affect younger users more, having been around when there were no cell phones or computers I don't feel as trapped.

Just how brainwashed are we?

Spotify has never really advertised because it's never been profitable.
So you should only advertise when you're profitable?
If Doug Morris thinks this is a good thing that means it isn't a good thing for the end users.

Your "toys" own you.
"salesman" is generous, he was a shyster that built an empire off of slave labour, his karma came to get him for it too.
This is the attitude they want you to have "defeatist", "they" (the corps) cease to exist if we don't buy their products.
