How come Republicans are have such a hard-on for states rights when states do something evil like voter suppression but change their minds when they do something good like cannabis legalization or net neutrality?
A model train doesn't have to contend with the little plastic people and cars moving across it's path. The Peoplemover also ran on a enclosed track without pedestrian or vehicle traffic to worry about. The most innovative thing about the Peoplemover was the moving sidewalk which allowed passengers to enter and exit without stopping the cars.
The fact that they only announced 5 out of the 20 games is concerning. It probably means they are still negotiating with third-party suppliers. While Nintendo, Sega or Atari can fill a retro console with desirable first-party titles, Sony's reliance on third-party games is a real disadvantage (as it will be for Microsoft when they inevitably bring out the mini retro Xbox in a couple of years).
So NOW you're concerned about companies using their political influence? Where were you when conservative companies like Koch Industries were literally threatening to fire employees if they didn't vote Republican (which is somehow legal now due to the Citizens United). Google's reaction is fairly mild by comparison. It's entirely appropriate for a company to be concerned about how a new administration will affect their business and discuss it with their employees.
Sugar has been part of the human diet for millions of years. High obesity and diabetes rates started in the late 20th century. Do you believe sugar has only recently become addictive?
Why? So-called "sin taxes" are more effective than say public service advertisements (which cost the government money and thus lead to more taxation for everyone).
Government intervention need not be direct. Automotive safety initiatives prior to direct government regulation came mostly at the urging of insurance companies (the ones who lose a lot of money every time there's an accident). Since the government requires car-owners to have insurance, that's an indirect influence.
Yes, you can find examples of industries that improve safety reactively as a marketing ploy in response to bad press from an unfortunate incident (for example, tamper-proof packaging after the Tylenol poisoning incident in the 1980s). Getting them to do it proactively (i.e. before something really bad happens) generally requires government intervention, and that is what we need here. Also, once the bad press goes away, the safety measures often do as well unless regulations have been updated to require them.
The summary makes it clear that they merely deleted the Facebook app, which is a far cry from deleting their Facebook account, which means they're still using the web interface.
I doubt the average Facebook user knows the difference. Like people who refer to their browser as The Internet (as in "Your mother's deleted the goddamn internet again!"). As for the web interface, if it's not in their face every time they look at the phone, pumping out notifications, they're not going to use it much (assuming they even know how).
The recent expansion of Top Level Domains make it even more difficult. google.corn (that's GOOGLE.CORN in lower case) looks a lot like google.com in certain fonts.
Another recipe for disaster is fill a cargo hold full to the top with rice, seal the hatches, and then add some water (e.g. from a leak), and watch the ship literally burst apart in slow motion.
Where are all the Trump/Pai supporters to tell us how this is really a good thing and the invisible hand of the market will make everything all right? Is it possible there is some level of corporate cronyism that even they can't justify?
Despite all his ranting about the "deep state" intelligence agencies conspiring against him, will Trump pardon someone who dared to stand up to the NSA? Hahahaha, of course not, he has to save those pardons for his thugs, his family and himself.
There's a huge difference between a random bot probing for unpatched vulnerabilities and a highly targeted attack with a specifically created fake login page.
This is not new and not unique to games or even internet businesses. My brother owns a comic book shop and people are constantly asking via phone, email and in-person for free shit. Some are legitimate charities looking for something interesting to raffle off which he normally does because it's good advertising and a way to clear out stuff that's not selling well. Lots though are just moochers and many of them don't even have a good story, just "please give me ____".
Telecoil uses magnetic coupling (similar to wireless charging, only lower power) rather than RF. The range is minuscule (inches at best). The new standard would be similar to Bluetooth so you wouldn't have to stick your phone up to your ear like with Telecoil.
If Obama had done something to stop Russian election meddling, Trump and his supporters would have flipped out and claimed he was fixing the election for Hillary. They already Obama was "spying" on them because he was investigating the Russian meddling.
What dates did you use? The site defaults to the most recent month and given the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the SCOTUS, I don't doubt that Planned Parenthood has been buying ads lately. However, if you look at other time periods (like prior to the election), you will find others spending much more.
I'm sorry but doesn't America have much more urgent things to take care of such as universal health care and drinkable public water in Flint rather than space exploration (sorry, I mean "Space Force").
Users suddenly find themselves logged out of their accounts and when they try to log back in, they discover that their handle, profile image, contact info and bios have all been changed.
Wow, I didn't think it was possible for a web hack to make changes to a machine's BIOS.

The dog loves to chew on my leather shoes. With a leather laptop, the excuse "the dog ate my homework." will be believable once again.

The state is not regulating the value, since they are pegged to dollar.

Not last week. Fox News falls behind MSNBC and CNN on a tough news day for Trump. But don't worry, Fox is still number one in the racist senior citizens demographic.

The Russians don't need to hack the RNC. They've already got a man on the inside.

Luxury! We had to calculate 50 digit figures in our heads from memorized tables for 23 hours a day.
