You can't deny an app network access, except by not installing it. An Android app does need to request network permissions to access the network, so the user will be notified it can do this, but it's not a configurable permission. You have to uninstall the app the prevent it from accessing the network.
I agree that having assets that are fully liquid is a silly standard to hold something to, but that's not the issue here. If you own real estate, its value may change over time, but selling your properties wouldn't drive the fair market price down across the entire market. There's nothing stopping you from selling any or all of your properties fortheir full value
If you had a significant share of the property market, and tried to sell it all at once (ie exactly the situation we're comparing to), then yes it would certainly negatively effect the prices you could sell for.
I don't think the OP was asking to block ads, but rather to not show apps with ads in the play store (as an option). In this case, the incentive for google would be the 30% cut they get from the sale of the app.
On long trips, it charges during meal and bathroom / stretch breaks, about 75 miles range per 10 minutes charging at below 50% SoC. Take, for example, a 700 mile trip. At 70mph that's 10 hours (not counting breaks), so two meal breaks - say, a 20 minute lunch and a 30 minute dinner. 45 minutes charging. That adds about 375 miles, meaning 685 miles. Just one or two 10 minute stretch breaks (on your 10 hour trip) and that's your entire charging.
That's really nice, assuming of course that there are charging stations where you want to eat/stretch.
A study has found that 99% of Americans have a phone, which although normally used for regular communication, can be used to organise terrorist activities.
The thing that bugs me is the underhanded nature of it right now
It's no less underhanded than ads are. Sure, you know that the ads are there, but the vast majority of people have no idea of all the tracking and selling of their information that's going on behind the scenes.
I would be annoyed if I have to pay for the electricity to lug around a bunch of batteries that I can't use everywhere I drive. If the offer made it clear that I'd get a software-crippled battery rather than just a smaller battery, that would be OK (I've no idea if this is the case or not).
Are other people such sheep that they would actually choose a place just because its busy without any other information?
That's a pretty common and sensible approach. If you have no other information to go by, then you don't go to the place with no customers, because there's probably a good reason they have no customers.
Screenshots... I mean, really really? Because snipping tools and the old print screen button weren't enough?
What set of instructions to start a snipping tool works on all supported Windows versions (including versions after the deprecation of MSPaint), all supported OS X/macOS versions, and all major X11/Linux distributions?
Who cares? I don't need to know how to take a screenshot on OSX to be able to take a screenshot on my OS of choice (hint, it's exactly the same way as you do it for everything else!)
Unlike the snipping tool that may or may not have been included with your operating system, one in Firefox would work on all major desktop operating systems.
No, it will only work on desktops running Firefox.
That's true. Saying that The Environmental Left (capitalised for unknown reasons) often proclaim that we will destroy the planet by making it like Venus really is ridiculous hyperbole.
Instead of a UBI, make it a 'PBI' (progressive basic income). Say the BI is $10K, and we are not including this in income. Once you're earning $5K, the BI reduces 25c per $. So once you're earning $45K, you're not actually getting any of that $10K, which is fine because you don't need it. This GREATLY reduces the cost, yet still has the advantages of the safety net and eliminating most of the welfare overhead. I haven't run the numbers for my country (Australia), and likely won't with a kid around when I'm not at work, but I'd be interested to see how different this would be to existing welfare costs whilst making it a liveable wage - say the poverty line. There's also the issue of some areas having much higher cost of living - but then perhaps it would also have the welcome effect of a reduction in urbanisation.
So what you're saying is that if you got a UBI, you WOULD sill work, because that extra money is nice to have. Which makes sense. There are not many who would want to live on/below the poverty line.
My biggest beef is that they didn't go with a mag-connector for USB-C. Seems like an oversight to me.
Probably because having the cable fall out when you look at it the wrong way is several orders of magnitude more annoying when it stops actual functionality, as opposed to simply reverting to battery power.
They're pretty similar (at least the darker version they have on their homepage, not so much the lighter version). But doesn't a trademark only cover a business area? I don't know of any PayPal music service. Maybe I confused it with Pandora...
Something doesn't seem right here. I live in Summit County, CO for 7 years and no one who lives in Summit County is actually from Summit County, or really even Colorado. Furthermore, even fewer are even year round residents. There's almost no one over the 65 there, the vast majority of the population are younger to early middle age ski bums. The same goes for Eagle County and to some degree Pitkin. Something about the ski bum population is skewing those results.

Except that they've been travelling for 3.8 billion years already.

Why?
And they give the cops the right to hack into the phone if required. The cops don't have effective phone hacking tools. Too bad.

Not at all, I was simply replying to that one point. I agree this sounds like a ridiculous idea.

I'd put money on still ending up with similar formatting issues if Microsoft officially released Office on Linux.
I use a 16 character indent. Cha-ching!
Partly though I think because if the close it and it isn't fixed,
it's their problem rather than the sw devs problem.
If they haven't either closed it or marked it as not fixed, isn't it still their problem? And how do you release with a heap of untested code?
$1.50 if 29% of an Iranian median wage, and $16K is 29% of an American median wage.
Someone went through the American education system.

They do here (Melbourne AU). It's usually .9, but it's not uncommon to see .5 or even .7

Of course not, they all died.
