You obviously don't have kids. You don't let kids make decisions they are not equipped to handle the consequences for. Most sites have an age limit and most kids can't handle unsupervised conversations with random adults which is what social media sites are. What parents let their kid go to a bar or any sort of adult forum by themselves every night?
The asshole with a checkbook can still legally sell derivative data to the FBI, if the asshole does the filtering. The Twitter restriction only applies to using the raw Firehose data itself for spying, a search function product does not necessarily have the same restrictions.
Don't let your kids on some BS social media platforms. Block anyone that's not their accepted friends (if that's possible, I don't have FB) if they really "have" to be on there. Talk to your kids and see what they're going through instead of having them resort to calling a stranger on a hotline somewhere.
This is exactly why Trump won though, this "uneducated rural bumpkins" misinformation. You surely have never worked in rural areas, because they too have computers and Internet.
Farms are no longer run by farmers, farmhands and maids nor horses and oxen. They are run by high tech, self-driving, GPS-guided farm equipment that can detect quality grades and ripeness of product. You don't touch those devices without at least an electrical or mechanical engineering degree. Planning a farm requires people with agricultural engineering degrees, hyperlocal weather forecasts and a lot of non-plant farming (meat, eggs, milk,...) have chemical labs on site for continuous testing.
Or maybe those fund managers would've lost it all in all the crashes over the last few decades. Millions lost their pensions invested by these 'fund managers'. Some people do business and invest in less profitable, less risky yet more stable avenues, real estate is one of them.
Most "unskilled labor" in the US averages about $25/h these days, more if you look at union contracts. Many places like auto factories and most places that do custom work (CNC etc), you're looking at $40-50/h.
Then besides that you have your base employee cost + ~25-30% in various employer taxes (SS, Medicare, State and Federal Unemployment, Workers comp,...) + 25-50% in health insurance coverage, ample space and safety gear for the employee, recruiting expenses, tools,...
We haven't even talked about the cost of complying with various legal frameworks and regulations on EVERYTHING, that requires instructing managers, lawyers, HR etc., the cost of covering practically an hour of mandated breaks per day, pensions... and the fact that US workers work ~7.5h/day for only 5 days a week.
Every employee in a "good ol' American business" (the glory days of full health coverage, pensions etc) could easily cost the company as much as what the employee actually gets.
Sure, some of it is required, but you're never going to compete with a country where workers are practically slaves, working 12-15h days 28 days of a month for $2 or less per hour without any regulation on what to dump in the nearby rivers.
The electoral college does its work pretty well. It basically breaks up the US into individual communities that then decide what's best for them. The grand majority of Americans not living in cities decided for Trump. Look at a map, pretty much only cities are colored blue; the rest of the US is a solid red. Even in states like NY, about 80% of the areas are red.
The problem is that the majority of people are concentrated in very small areas that are only affected if someone were taking away welfare and government subsidies. They tend to be ignorant about the rest of the US both as to the type of people and how they affect the rest of them and globally.
The thing is that regardless of tariffs, goods are going to cost a lot more locally produced than elsewhere. You can get a container of cheap electronics like Android TV boxes produced at $5/piece in China. That includes about 15m of labor per device and materials, they're being sold after handling, shipping, warehousing and boxing for $50-80 stateside retail or ~$20 for 1000 units, the majority of that is stateside labor. Sure you'll save $10 in shipping but you're replacing $2/h labor with $200/h labor (after taxes, insurances, legal, state and federal regulations, inspections...).
Similar hardware entirely sourced, engineered and assembled in the US (parts still from China/Korea) costs about $250/unit, yes, we as a business are paying that for the same hardware because the US vendor and the hardware is a shit ton more reliable and accessible but for the average customer, rebooting a device once a day is considered "normal".
The problem is people want these "HDMI" and "PCIe" over Ethernet. Ethernet is cheap, ubiquitous and as a result error prone with built-in recovery. However now we have protocols like FCoE that craps the bed (as in data corruption) the moment a frame goes missing, is out of order or delayed. So you buy (proprietary) switches that guarantee proper delivery of your Ethernet frames under any condition but that only works, at best, at the datacenter level.
Now how do you do FCoE over a WAN like the Internet? You don't should be your first answer but these MBA's don't understand the physics or underpinnings of the Internet.
The "solution" in the Paris accords are indeed taxation on the entire population to offset production of CO2 by industry not just in their own country but worldwide. I don't know how you solve the climate problem by extracting money, we all know government doesn't actually handle it all that well.
The solution would be to tax the producers but we can't enforce that in China or India, therefore China/India can promise to purchase offsets instead for every ton they produce and in theory for every offset purchased, the developed nation should produce less CO2. However China is never going to purchase any so we just tax the people to pay for the offsets. It's a huge scheme to pay for our trillions in Chinese debts by tax.
There were various other stories doing the rounds. I don't have FB for personal use but I am working on software that curates feeds for businesses. Depending on your particular group of friends there were false H stories and false T stories, Trump did everything from rape a 13yo to being a secret Hillary shill, being in secret societies and cahoots with foreign governments and businesses etc.
The Clinton campaign came up with the Russians being behind Wikileaks and pretty much any activity in firewall logs (it was China during the Obama/Romney election cycle) as well as the various "things Trump said really means this", the females he supposedly molested etc
The media controlled this election cycle and lost... too bad for them.
If you would divide the electoral votes in a state evenly among the counties, Trump would've won by even bigger margins. The only reason Democrats always win New York or California is because there are a handful of counties that make up a majority of the population. You would have the same problem, a candidate would just have to campaign for the NYC, LA and Miami vote to win the election.
The US was built out of states, the states initially acted as countries but without border control (similar to the EU in 1995). The purpose was to have a limited federal government that would handle things like interstate commerce and union defense and to have individual states experiment with various forms of democratic government, if a state law made sense, it would be looked at implementation at the federal level while maintaining sovereignty of the states and thus you had a very stable, slow changing federal government and people would look have more local, more specific governments to govern themselves.
Over time this became corrupted off course, especially in the last 2 decades the federal government has overridden individual state sovereignty on pretty much every matter, especially with things like ObamaCare which is federally mandated state level insurance.
The thing is Trump won despite the rampant voter fraud and gerrymandering. Look at a map of the voting result. Pretty much EVERY county in the US voted Trump except for the large cities.
Poll stations were kept open extra long to allow for more people to be bussed around between them, there are reports of voting machine switching votes to Hillary en masse. Not just one or two machines, entire districts were having 'problems' recording votes before the afternoon (typical older people and blue collar vote early in the morning), there was even a report that a county had their memory cards replaced mid-day due to a 'technical glitch'.
This question will get asked every election, there is a reason it's in place, there is a reason we don't just do popular vote. Go read up on history if you want to know.
No they are complaining that developers are including RSS feeds in commercial apps in clear violation of their ToU. If you profit by including their work, you have to license it for commercial use: costs for commercial content start at about 10k/year but could easily surpass several 100k if you want stuff like ESPN or other high profile content.
Just because something is public doesn't mean it doesn't have copyright or associated licenses. The question is obviously whether a data feed added by the user is "commercial use" but passing the content off as your own, implying endorsement or a particular license by including it in your app is typically considered commercial use.
In what part of the world do you drive 400 miles (~6-8 hours) without stopping for AT LEAST a 30m break? It's even illegal for commercial drivers to drive that long without a 30 minute break.
Diamond may be hard but that also makes it brittle. You can easily chip a diamond, a diamond pane of glass would fare no better to a brick than your current processed glass.
No it's not. HIPAA has nothing to do with where your developers are, it wouldn't have passed any lawmaker if it prevented cost cutting. HIPAA is exactly that: a minimum standard that allows for major cost cutting just by declaring a process secure.
I unlocked a BitLocker drive with 8 character password in less than an hour using an open source BitLocker tool. The password was a morphed dictionary word. Ever heard of Markov chains? Dedicated clusters can run through 90% of all passwords 8-16 characters in a matter of hours/days.
Think again: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci... People have predictable passwords, your character set is typically limited to ~64 characters out of 256.
To know whether a password is cracked, you can check various methods: does it include untypable characters, is the data returned structured (you could expect e.g. a signature matching known database formats) does it have a high degree of randomness and after that, does the password work.
In your example you have a high degree of semicolons, so your structure is password semicolon. Even if I knew nothing about how your program stores passwords (which is trivial to find out even in closed source software), there is a non random pattern.
If you discover malware you should expect your passwords to be compromised, encrypted or not. Sure a master password may help at first glance but it's trivial to crack anything less than 16 characters long and also depends heavily on the encryption used and RNG. Most likely you reused a master password elsewhere or it's still somewhere in memory of the malware has been on your computer longer than you expected.
If you are the "victim" of malware, then you should change all your passwords and revoke all your keys including those your master passwords unlock. Master password applications are primarily a tool to unlock otherwise random and complicated password so you don't have to remember 20+ off them. In my experience they are NEVER intended to be a layer of machine security.

So block the bullies. Bullies aren't "friends". People that pass through messages from bullies aren't "friends" either.

CNN exit polls are a really, really bad quote to have. CNN had Clinton up by a landslide (around 300 electoral votes) the weeks before the election.
