These robberies involved repeatedly threatening people with firearms. It was pure luck no one got killed.
it was his punishment for requesting a jury trial
The huge delta between negotiated sentences and the consequence of jury trials is a reflection of how great the distance is between citizens and their rulers in the US. We use to hang people for this shit and I can't think of any good reasons why we aren't doing that today; just a lot of bad ones.
In all likelihood Google is about to find itself negotiating with Comcast et al. to stay in the "fast lane." I'm pretty damn sure that if Google occupied some apex of Rockefeller-like power they wouldn't be letting that happen.
It's a nice improvement and it seems to be a success with users — except the ones that obsessively collect plugins and extensions — but no, it doesn't beat Chrome. Chrome's PDF handling is still better. Applications that involve panning around maps (google maps, zillow, etc.) work better in Chrome. And Firefox has a long way to go to match Chrome Developer Tools.
Never really thought much of Wired. Between the click bait and the left wing group think I'd say I've had it right all along.
LOTRO also sells keys to loot boxes. The boxes and keys both drop or are awarded, but these are rare, and purchased keys offer no clue what the loot boxes contain. Not sure if the all of the possible loot box contents are obtainable sans loot box...
Discovering and exploiting opportunities to contort mundane and legitimate things into racial grievance is a valuable skill in contemporary media. Now the next phase begins; leveraging this into lucrative settlements between Apple various pressure groups.
Indeed. Entities that simultaneously have no Title II obligations yet enjoy Title II-like protection from liability for criminal activity conducted using their facilities.
57 appeared on my Android phone early this morning. And yes, it is noticeably better. I was very happy to see ublock survive the upgrade and function as intended.
That would be a "nope." They're all on the Comcast tip and the carriers expect the best of both worlds; no common carrier obligations and no liability either.
No one is perpetually scrutinizing anything. That's an old fallacy wrongly attributed to ESR and/or Torvalds. "Linus's Law" merely states all bugs are shallow given enough eyeballs, not the some vast benevolent army of free labor is auditing everything all the time. That's fiction, as as been proven many times with the discovery of ancient zero days in software that's been open source for decades.
Money. Michigan just had a little episode involving a Senator from Comcast. Michele Hoitenga introduced a bill to block any township or municipal funding of community broadband initiatives state wide. She did this because there are some now voter approved plans to wire up a few semi-rural townships that Comcast et al. can't be bothered with, and because the telcoms and cable outfits are funding her campaign.
People are clued in though; she withdrew the bill after enough people noticed and let her know. She trotted out the usual "death threats" claim for good measure.
What you don't need to do is look for anything the actual DOJ might have included in their explanation
Why accept whatever sophistry the DOJ came up at face value? For whom is the DOJ still an impartial agent? When (D)s have it they hound scofflaws in Idaho cabins and Texas religious compounds and ignore border security. When the (R)s have it they go after immigrants. It's a political football and nothing they assert is free of political consideration.
It is amusing that in this case the quintessential "corporate media" entity CNN is on the docket. The people that have bitched and moaned about corporate hegemony over US media are suddenly all outraged on behalf of Time Warner's mouthpiece because Trump and stuff.
So much for "all the media is controlled by giant corporates herp derp." Soon and someone tries to do something about it you line up behind your establishment media.
Good question; China funded Bill's campaign and got MFN status for their money.
It's non-candidate specific propaganda; the leftist world view of hegemonic America unjustly imposing it's will on others. More of the usual Blame America First BS we're all awash in 24/7/365.
Regulation usually advantages large incumbents over smaller competitors. That is evident to anyone that hasn't self inflicted the mental machinations necessary to pretend that regulation is never a harm, as so many do. Every hurdle, every extra middleman involved, every compliance process is another cost that large institutions amortize over a larger revenue base. Eventually an oligopoly emerges; a few competitors that specialize in ticking the boxes, influencing the powers that be and isolating themselves from competitors. For these there is more profit found in influencing regulation than innovating the product.
This reality is intolerable for many; there are people replying in this thread with all the usual thoughts: "it's no big deal." "just do this or that"... always forgetting that a thousand little things add up; eventually you're left with a few specialized monsters that wheedle their way through the establishment's maze of rules and auditors, a few big ships steered by unassailable elites, free of competition, always able to deflect responsibility.
For some value of "success"... Telsa's greatest success has been funneling public treasure into the garages of upper income private citizens. If this subsidy is cut we'll finally see whether buying a Tesla product is anything more than tax-advantaged virtue and status signalling.
I personally hope it is, but I'm not willing to perform the mental gymnastics necessary to pretend otherwise.
Another establishment group-think cesspool blocked by a paywall. Between that and the huge numbers dropping cable TV service CNN won't be seen outside airports.
Is there any actual evidence that monitoring the traditional finance industry works? Every time the system falls over we learn the regulators had full knowledge of all the fraud and looked the other way. Every time we discover government policy and regulatory indifference invited the fraud. Every damn time.
More money, obviously. Government should step in right now and fund the hell out of AI researchers at university. How ever much it takes. Why did you have to ask that? Your training should have provided this answer almost automatically.

'No lawn' implies mobile home park.
No, it doesn't. Note the 'buying our own land' part. The plan is to live in the weeds.
Enjoy the insects.

It occurred in 1958 (I think)
