this is for income taxes stupid. most of these people make most of their income from dividends and other non-salary income which is taxed at much lower rates
"Qualified" dividends are taxed at a lower rate, "ordinary" dividends are taxed as ordinary income. I know, I get both from my investments, in addition to income from my job.
So you're telling me you'll be selling defective cars that need repaired so often their need OTA updates?
No. This is so when one of these new-fangled cars does something bad or wrong, the vendor can secretly download a back-dated patch before authorities can investigate to make it look like the driver was to blame and not the car./tinfoil-hat
If they can get the courts to give them the keys and the source code, what good would it do apple to release a new version of IOS with new signing keys? The government would just compel them to release it again... and the 2nd iteration, they'd have a precedent.
Which is really what the FBI wants - precedent. It's already been stated that the NSA could (probably) crack the phone, but the FBI isn't interested because they want a legal precedent - presumably to decrypt any phone any time for any reason...
Richard Clarke (former U.S. counterterrorism official and security adviser to the president) said Monday in an interview on NPR's Morning Edition that he believes that if the FBI asked, the National Security Agency “would have solved this problem” of opening the encrypted iPhone of the San Bernardino, California, shooter.
When asked by NPR anchor David Greene what he would have done if he was still in government, Clarke said he would taken the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone, which is at the center of a national debate over encryption, to NSA headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland. Clarke believes the FBI is holding out in an attempt to set a legal precedent to facilitate decrypting smartphones in the future.
I'm using Proxomitron, which can't handle HTTPS, to filter out (um...) "unwanted stuff" and kill audio auto-play. So if that stuff is gone or can otherwise be disabled via preferences (hint), then fine. Otherwise, I'll have to find another solution to make things more palatable - if anyone has suggestions I'd be grateful.
We've even survived bad presidents because there is a system of checks and balances.
As has been pointed out in several places, like NPR just this morning, the President can do a lot of things within his/her area of power/responsibility - that won't involve checks and balances - like deporting people and bombing places overseas, regardless of whether those things would be good for the US.
While acknowledging that there's not yet any independent, large-scale research to show personalized learning's effectiveness, Zuck argues that "the model just intuitively makes sense." But just days later, Fordham University professor Mark Naison wrote in the Washington Post about why the personalized learning efforts of 'a growing number of those with investment capital seeking profitable outlets,'...
So did the theories of a flat Earth being the center of the Universe at one time. Seems to me like this Zucker just wants to teach people what's useful to him and his profit-seeking, investment-capital buddies. There are benefits to (a) a common educational base and (b) a well-rounded one - at least as a base.
What's wrong with the awesomebar ? It's the only thing holding me from moving to Chrome.
To start, it's not awesome.
Second, it takes up way too much space, showing me information I don't need or care about. Third, I can't configure it to be simpler unless I use something like the Old Location Bar add-on - which I use.
I don't know how popular add-ons like Old Location Bar, Classic Theme Restorer and Expire History by Days are, but that they exist and are, at least moderately, popular should tell the Mozilla team something. Too bad they're not listening. But, to each their own, I guess...
I'm not an iPhone user so I thought I'd ask. Wouldn't Apple have to push out an update to this phone to implement what the FBI wants - unlimited password attempts w/o bricking the phone? If so, can this absolutely be done w/o the owner's consent? It seems that I can disable auto-updates on my Android phone and/or restrict updates to be over WiFi only - both of which would require manual intervention to initiate.
Wouldn't it be more like allowing bill gates to move your car a few inches because you double parked and prevented him from parking where he is legally allowed, and needs to park?
Bill Gates wants Apple to give the FBI keys to its phones and you want me to give him the keys to my car? (and as if Bill drives anymore)

Qualified Dividends vs. Ordinary Dividends
Also there are people who don't write the spaces in "a lot" or "at least"
That would be what we call misspelled.
Way back when, a college friend got a paper back from a professor with the following written across the first page in big, red marker:
"a lot" is two words, remember this or I will kill you
He never misspelled it again.
I thought affirming that I'd rather quit than attend daily scrum meetings was noble and principled. Damn.
Not voting at all is not an option,...
Glad to hear that. My feeling is that if you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain.

Yes. Those guys would have had so much more fun with access to Bernie's Amazon account.
As alternatives to atomic clocks, sundials would probably be best for daylight hours.
At night, the shadow is on the underside of the sundial - duh.

what could possibly go wrong
What indeed? Mutant 59: The Plastic-Eaters
Extensions are being added that allow the smaller pools of users to continue using those features and the bloat is gone for everyone else.
Like those extensions for things non-browsery things like Hello, Pocket and Social - oh, right, they're bloat for everyone.

Anybody else read that as "Tracking Caucasians By Their Cell Phones"?
I must say I was rather interested in the technology involved.
I first saw it as Caucusaurus and thought someone had discovered a new reptile (or dinosaur) that used cell phones.
Either I have Dyslexia or need new glasses - and am an idiot.
Google! Complete my comment.
what is the best way to explain the need for this policy to colleagues less technically literate?
We bought the computers, we should be able to use them as we see fit.

How can you allow this? Mr. Perrero asked the Senate committee members.
And the senators replied, "Well... How much money have you donated to our campaigns Mr. Perrero and how much has Disney?"

So relieved to hear they didn't use a dumb chemical design. /pedantic
