This makes me even happier that I ditched Facebook 9 months ago never to return. There is no way those fuckers are going to get their hands on my financial data. Fuck Zuckerberg and fuck Facebook!
Maybe, the MatSu government needs to hire some competent IT management. Really stuff like this should not happen as competent staff will take proactive approaches to systems and network security.
When we look at the kinds of crimes that McDonald's perpetrates against like sub-poverty line wages, terrible quality food, and mistreatment of livestock that go into the food process, my hat is off to the ex-cop. Fuck McDonald's! Feel free to label this as troll or flamebait but I am sick of the wealthy and the elite beating people up in the name of crony capitalism. I personally would like to give this ex-cop a high five.
This is not surprising considering these guys lobby the government to consider broadband deployments acceptable at 50% of a large swath of an area. Really, the entire system is broken, not just the telecom industry but the way we do business altogether in America.
There is no need for school students to have a cell phone in school, period; let alone a smartphone. School is a place for learning and phones and tablets are a distraction.
Even if this ends up being free, I would rather pay an ISP and have it less likely that my data is being sold. I parted ways with Facebook 8 months ago and that parting was permanent.
The original post indicates that cashless societies are dangerous. Well, it is a different danger. There are reasons why low-infrastructure, high violence locations (Afghanistan) turn to digital money. Cash invites criminals to commit violence for cash in cash societies. Businesses hate handling cash when it gets to be enough to be a security concern.
While the digital can have broader theft, it has less violence. That is a point in its favor.
I am not willing to sacrifice liberty for security. A digital, cashless society just invites surveillance. It screams monitor all of my habits and create a profile on me. I could see something like this also leading to a social media credit score like that in China. It also creates a single point of failure: the network. The network goes down and you cannot purchase goods and services. These days vendors rush crappy products out to market so a major failure is always a minute or so away. I am a truck driver and I often go into areas where I still - in 2018 - cannot get cell reception. I don't care what you say; cash is king.
The pledge is not worth the paper its printed on. Believe me, once Elon sees a way to make a shit load of money through AI-based weaponry, he'll take action.
The pay is very low and the training is very expensive. New pilots come into the field debt laden and have difficulty making ends meet, let alone paying on the student debt. Either make the training substantially less expensive or make the starting wage substantially more.
I do not know too much about Jeff Bezos, but this scene from 1999, where he explains why he is driving a Honda Accord despite being a billionaire, may explain why he is not just your average billionaire, but the richest man on earth.

Vote me down, but somehow I think he is a great guy.
A great guy!? He actively undermines unionization efforts of his workforce yet refuses to pay them a liveable wage. Oh he's a real stand-up guy alright. He wouldn't air condition his warehouses for the longest time and workers got sick and a few died. I hope several people vote you down.
Many of these non-compete agreements exist in states that have Right to Work laws. In a right to work state, how can non-compete agreements even be remotely legal!?
What will happen once we kill all of the rats? The problem is nobody knows or has thought to study what might happen if we kill off or poison the rats. Furthermore, how can scientists definitively say for certain that rat droppings are the cause of the dying coral reef. It could be far more complex a single reason.
ARM is scared of losing it's death grip over IoT and smartphones. Usually active FUD campaigns bely this real concern. One day ARM will have to come to grips with the fact that it will be toppled. ARM is about to repeat the same expensive mistakes that Microsoft did with its Get The Facts campaign.
This is assuming that there is a chemical imbalance in the brain and I honestly think it is barking up the wrong tree. Criminality and the reasons people commit crimes are far more complex. Also American society has so many ways to get tripped up by the system that the average person actually commits 3 felonies a day without really knowing that they've done so and these are basically law abiding people. Harry Silvergate published a book on his study about this. The title of the book is Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent.
Why not simply allow people to haul away abandoned and/or illegally parked scooters and sell them for scrap? Of course the scooter companies should be allowed to come by and pick up their property- as long as they pay the same reasonable towing and storage fees that tow companies charge for cars.
Mod the parent up! This is exactly what should happen!
When an employer isn't interested in pursuing a candidate any further, often the employer "ghosts" the candidate or turns around and offers some canned, impersonal, generic rejection letter. Turnabout is fair play!

It just goes to show "Do No Evil" was complete and utter media theatre. Google will do anything for the almighty dollar!

This is true. Especially when write caching is nearly ubiquitous.

And he still pays his warehouse workers a shit wage. He's a fucking asshole.

This creates a monopoly and needs to be reviewed.
I have a feeling that this will get appealed. I will only be concerned about with the final decision from the appellate court and/or Supreme Court.
I hope they implement this system and capture my voice saying, "Alice Walton can go fuck herself!"

Not just no, but hell no!
The whole thing is a mania. There are a few people that got wealthy and the rest will be caught holding the bad as it plummets.

I am all for encryption!
