Because previously there was no room for a free market. If you only have to service 1000 customers, you can't really have competition, any smaller competitor will fail if it tries to follow the same business model. If a retailer is willing to compete with you by using a new business model, well, that's exactly what the free market is about.
Coercion is not cheating - there are many reasons one may not really want to but still does, often to keep the relationship intact. Neither is every instance of your partner not knowing cheating simply because some may end up liking it, some may not want to know.
Cheating imho is going against the explicit wishes of the other party without their knowledge although those wishes are often established through contract law (marriage).
"has never helped, nor will help, any government in the world with its cyberespionage efforts," And this is why they won't win any contracts. Symantec refuses to share their source code with other governments and is at the same time one of the biggest US government contractors despite their products consistently scoring lowest detection rates.
Many many times from the Industrial Revolution on, local businesses have been under attack by $NEW_THING. Yet local businesses are booming. Alaskan businesses have to adapt; they can't charge through the nose for stuff anymore because they're not the only game in town anymore, it's the free market at work.
Most minification also produces a map file and unless they truly want to hide the code, they are usually uploaded alongside the rest of the code by most developers.
I don't even know if stores would work without cash registers these days. Around here most are IBM Linux based machines, they work independently from a central system and each have their own UPS so they can at least process customers still in the store during a power outage.
Or you believe the propaganda from the other end and think the government has any interest in you. Nobody is monitoring you personally, commit a crime or be the victim of a crime to see how little the government can actually track what happened.
How many people don't have their identity stolen daily? Route the money electronically through 2 or 3 banks and you're pretty much invisible. How many camera's, drones, helicopters and spy satellites don't we have on any large city? How many murders does Chicago have?
Governments are incompetent at every level, don't expect too much from them. What you should worry about is private companies collecting and sharing information, all of which you have opted in through non-financial means. Banks and medical records are actually the most private institutions when it comes to data sharing and privacy and what's best, you don't need a real name to open a bank record, create an LLC or DBA, open a bank account with it, use it. I actually have a bank account without a SSN.
Actually you've got Scenario A and B a bit twisted. If you have a $50 bill or a "roll of cash", the crackhead will more likely take you to the ATM than when you have a $5 or $10 and say that you won't get paid for another 2 weeks.
Which is completely against the card transaction rules. The stores should either accept your card and do an old-style card transfer on paper or voice authorization. It's not necessarily illegal but the store could get in serious trouble with VISA, if you are a cardholder, you can actually call your customer service and get the payment through.
I've never seen a power outage in a large store where the cash registers and card readers stopped working. Most keep the cash registers open, the card readers will simply do an offline transaction.
Your $500 Android is more valuable to them than a couple of tens or twenties. Give them a wallet, some fake cash perhaps, they won't sit there and check, most will run as soon as they get what they want; if you have "too much" money or you look like you've got lots of money they may also accompany you to the nearest ATM and make you withdraw a couple of hundreds.
Either way, the point is moot for most, even if you carry cash the chance that you get robbed is relatively low. It's crazy to carry lots of cash in your wallet, besides simply losing it or giving the wrong or too many bills to an unwitting cashier, the government may also seize the cash you carry if it feels you may do something illegal with it (civil asset forfeiture).
Their budget grew 5 times since they landed on the moon. Sure they get less from a "percentage of federal budget" perspective but even the federal budget has ballooned well outside of the feasible limits a government can spend on.
They said it will cost ~$6B to get 4 humans to Mars. If you get $20B/year with a mandate to go to Mars within 10 years, what would you spend it on in that time?
3 States just lost ALL their insurance carriers. Also, since Obamacare 1 in 5 people can no longer afford to visit the doctor. Give that a thought - the US had ~10% of people that couldn't afford medical care before ObamaCare, now we have over 20% that can no longer afford to go to the doctor.
The current net neutrality law was written by them and allows them to do things like zero-rate and prefer their own content while discriminating against Netflix and YouTube.
Obama legalized the practices the Net Neutrality crowd is railing against. Read the current law, it has nothing to do with the bits on your Internet connection and should be abolished to the pre-Obama rules where common carriers were violating the law when they were rate-limiting Netflix and YouTube.
I'm all for Net Neutrality but the only true Net Neutrality laws (Netherlands had them at least) were recently shot down by the EU for being anti-competitive. And somehow these idiot protesters think the US laws were better than the Netherlands?
It's not reduce bandwidth for the sake of reducing bandwidth cost, you reduce bandwidth so your site loads faster, THEN you load the autoplays. Off course most ad-aggregation systems will destroy this again unless you correctly implement it. You can easily filter the idiot web developers on how they load ads.
You can, it's why you upload the.map with the.min.js, when you open editor mode, most browsers automatically requests eg. jQuery.map together with jQuery.min.js which "deminifies" the JavaScript back into the original code.
Yes, but they cannot be expected to do things like follow the constitution and they don't even have to comply with some government retention program (unless specifically contracted to do so). You also can't force people to sign up for Twitter just to read some Twits the government sends out, therefore Twitter can never be an official communications channel.
Twitter is a privately held company, there is no expectation of public participation at Twitter. Twitter is akin to a house party where everyone is invited, the host can still reject individuals for whatever reasons. You cannot force a private company to host a public government forum.
Most JavaScript is minified for bandwidth reasons. Most things a site uses are also open libraries with open extensions or plugins, think jQuery and *shudder* Angular.
You can decompile everything on the web pretty easy. Developer mode in both Chrome and Safari will reindent most minified code to readable scripts and the rest isn't really that important, most things you want to do are better done not the way Google does it (you really don't want another MVC layer in your "View").
As I said, I've only seen it happen where Exchange will rewrite the header when sending through their accounts. Since gsu.edu is handled by Office365, it's very likely that is the culprit. Proper SMTP should refuse to send if the From header isn't allowed to send, Exchange and/or Gmail API will often rewrite the mail on their end, so yes, in your sent folder you'll see the rewritten header because your provider has rewritten the e-mail.
It's a big issue for me because I have multiple subdomain on one of my Office365 accounts and even though I'm "permitted" to send as @example.com and @sub.example.com, Exchange/O365 will simply rewrite it to the primary @example.com after it has sent.

How much did you pay for the phone? It's worth at least that much.

You're comparing 2010 to 2016, crime rates are dropping year over year, it's a weird comparison to make.

Yes, legally it is right and financially it is definitely justified.
You mean morally, your morals aren't mine, you may be fine being defenseless in NYC, most Texans aren't.

You can fill them in by hand too y'know.

Word is probably the worst word processor out there. WordPerfect is so much better and will properly warn you about incompatibilities.

What if Twitter blocked them on their end? You can't have a public forum in a private space.
