Well, considering it's going to be a 2 year old dispute in a few months, I think it's worth posting now. Dude was dumb for not disputing it immediately. But why on earth has he let it drag on with one phone call every few months? That's even more dumb.
Which means it is even more problematic for consumers than when they say..double charge someone because people will notice their bill doubling. Customers may not notice if the bill varies up to a dollar or two. Or when they do notice it may be a couple years down the road. So the company has been able to say they have offer XYZ for $29.99 a month and eek out a percent or two more margin on each subscriber. I don't believe what they are talking about here is intentional though.
Because BuzzFeed news is a super credible news source in the first place. It's like a idiot version of YouTube, which already has its fair share of idiots. Yet they are suddenly an investigative news agency? Bulllllllshit
You'll see videos that go viral and people are all enamored by them, but if you read a transcript of the video you'd think maybe the person writing it was heavily influenced by years of huffing paint and freon. Video just ends up being more forgiving to those who are far from eloquent. Which is why twitter became so popular. If you only have to type a few words at a time to get your thoughts out there, more people are able to do that without sounding like complete gibberish.
It is only conjecture that the purpose of the devices being tested are to jam GPS. It may very well be, but it might not. The GPS interruption may just be a side effect.
if the mail carrier doesn't like shoving stuff in an a full mailbox, stop bringing 99% junk mail that I didn't request. I often go a day sometimes two between checking my mail, and depending on the junk mail may have a mailbox so full it is hard to pull out.
In an "un-distorted" market there isn't a minimum wage, because it is survival of the fittest. Natural community (family, friends) band together to help the keep the group at or above minimum necessities. It is distorting the natural community to FORCE everyone to act as the responsible family member who may have enough to share without themselves being below the minimum necessities. Starvation is not a problem in the United States. It is clear that you like the idea of forced community. Socialism and communism are an acceptable evil in your opinion (well okay you don't view them as evil). Please proceed to the nearest homeless shelter and donate everything that you don't absolutely need to survive. Send all the money that doesn't cover bare necessities to the government to let them decide how to use it. But stay the fuck out of everyone else's pockets. No one has a right to money or things they didn't earn. Stealing is stealing even if it is government enforced. There will never be a "post-scarcity" society short of star trek style replicators existing that can create anything anybody wants out of thin air. And I got my 100 burgers per hour based on the total number of burgers sold by McDonald's each day. There are peaks and valleys to the pace, but 100 per hour for one person is what it averages to. And it's a safe assumption that there are many people who flip burgers who can't keep up with even that pace. It's a LONG walk between a burger flipper not being able to afford a house on his own and that burger flipper living in a dumpster. I have many friends who share a rental to make life work. Yes, some people still end up homeless. However, that does not mean that someone else's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness can be infringed upon. Each case in unique. It is up to that person to figure it out. Homeless shelters. Friends. Family. Figure it out. Will some people still be homeless after really going through those options? Probably. But that still does not mean that someone else's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness can be infringed upon. My family could have been homeless at one point, but my parents swallowed their pride and ask my grandparents if we could stay with them. We did. And now my parents have taken in other relatives when they didn't have a way to afford their own place. All through their own free will, not compelled by government distorted markets.
that is one component. There is a much greater component which is the number of people qualified to do a certain job. Burger flipper and other such low skill positions have a large market of people who qualify. Another component is the value of the work produced. Burger flipper helps Burger joint make 8 cents a burger. Meaning if burger flipper A makes 100 burgers an hour, he is helping Burger joint make $8 each hour. Unless Burger joint starts charging more for the burger, there isn't going to be a notable increase in wage. And if they do charge more, less will be sold. Which results in Burger flipper A being replaced by Autonomous Burger Express 2000.
Being a burger flipper is a job. But it is not a job you can expect to make a living wage at. At least not by the definition of living wage that people throw around. Cut out the shit that really isn't necessary (TV, Cell phone, internet, eating out, etc...) and perhaps you actually can live on it.
Making a workforce scarce by paying them to stay home will not help. It will create a whole new tax burden and reliance on federal government that ultimately will make the class of people that subsist on these programs unable to move themselves up...because why would they.
Please stop trying to out my candidate for the lying, cheating, felonious hack that they are and work on tech ideas that I deem important as a distraction.
$150 just to be at the table. $50 for temporary (48 hour) access to a movie. I know I wouldn't ever pay $50 for just me to watch a movie. And I'm probably not going to pay that much to "avoid" the theater with my family either. That pricing model seems flawed.
Paypal provides a service. I like to use it for some transactions. If you don't for any reason, that is fine. I would hope your country doesn't decide that for you though.
Supposed illegitimate activities on the internet didn't close brick and mortar stores. Which is the theme of this entire post. Which you knew. Which you chose to pretend not to understand to make an irrelevant point.
Do you think that TLD is a guaranteed identifier of where the site is hosted? Google's URL shortening service is hosted in Greenland? Nope. So, yes there would have to be tracing involved to find where the site is actually hosted.
Or just leave both of them alone if they are both consenting adults. Just because I wouldn't be one or use one doesn't mean I need to go "exposing" those that do.

How do you figure this leads to that?

because of how fun it is to hang up on someone with a flip phone. CLAP! done

I am truly excited about this.

Fair market value for flipping burgers would be probably $3/hour if it wasn't for minimum wage. You may not understand what fair market value means.

What is with the random reference of Facebook as "free content ad network"?
Which is why Elon Musk is saying it. He plans on his company, SpaceX, being the one to send people to Mars, not NASA.

Yeah, so that's not MUCH more tracing, but still more than "oh it's a .KP so it must be DPRK".
It came back to life as a music-centric social media platform.

As a percentage of the genre, yes
