i never understood why something like food / grocery delivery never took off with lyft/uber. they could partner with costco and do deliveries. I would love that.

If you have poor self discipline in the first place what stops you from just buying the iPhone in the first place regardless of goal completion haha?

just downloaded it - I really like the sms + story game style of the interface. Great job!

Maybe you could focus on more tech related to battle ie drones. In the same way that machine guns make an enemy army's size not really matter, drones will do the same thing if they just have manpower

tl;dr of mercurynews: A 28-year-old Campbell woman who spent the night at the bottom of a 500-foot ravine after veering off Mount Hamilton Road was rescued Tuesday morning and flown to a hospital to be treated for her injuries. The General Motors’ OnStar system and Apple’s Find My iPhone service determined users’ location.

fb started out with younger ppl, and then gradually older ppl got on, tell now when like my feed is blown up by my grandma.

There seems to be alot of ppl not sure as to why / what purpose scanning ppl on exit would acomplish. To me it makes the most sense that this would be an easy first step to start working out errors in the machines and get training data in a way that is not likely to cause the electorate to get upset. In the future once it is working then then can start moving it more inwards facing.

Or Microsoft antitrust?

What about the TSA people asking for your cell phone at the airport? The whole border crossing incidents

It's easy to hate on big companies for one or 2 publicly criticized decisions, but never know the thousands of non public decisions that made that choice the best one, or the thousands of non public stories of the good stuff they do.

Not to say companies should get of easy, but you can't project a huge multidimensional entity into a single axis of ethical or not.

Tbh I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet. All the countries that dislike him/US && have Trump property.... Seems like those are easy targets especially considering how sensitive he is to his brand image it would make the attacks all the more alluring.

Medication like Zoloft helped a ton for me with these things

You could say that is what happened to earth.

I think short term you are happier without kids, no question. However long term kids can[not] add significantly more meaning, purpose and joy to your life. What they do, in my experience, is expand the range of emotions you are capable of experiencing. That means they can make your life the worst hell, give you the worst emotional pain available (death of child, bad actions of child, financial, medical, etc). But the inverse is also true.

That being said I did not want to be a father, I did everything I could to try and stop it ( including recommending an abortion) I was immature and loved my life the way it was, and was totally happy keeping things the same.

The first year was really hard and a huge adjustment. As it is coming up on my daughter's birthday (coincidencly a day after mine) all I can say is that she is the love of my life and brings me more happiness than I every thought possible. She is the best antidepressant, cheerful, beautiful and everything I never knew I needed. I wouldn't trade all the pain and heartache she brought for anything.

You can be happy with or without kids. But you have the possibility of much different type of happyness with kids

It's the same with fashion. Gucci and Saks Fifth Ave don't have an increase in quality that can be attributed to the high price over say kohls. But because they charge a high price they seem more valuable, give higher utility to owners and are hence actually become "worth" the higher price

Can't you just Firefox with the extension? And then browse Google from there

It's important to separate the distinction between legal and illegal, and right versus wrong (morality). the two are sometimes correlated but they do not necessarily have to be. It's much easier to prove something legal or illegal because you just look at the laws on the books. It's like a mathematical proof. It doesn't have to be morally correct but it can still be legal.

The holdup are people confusing this click fraud with immoral. It seems to be very clearly illegal by the books, but in my opinion a moral and right thing to do

There is gain for the user, in the respect that they receive the service of their privacy being protected

Otherwise you have the new drug war, and instead of cocaine you have sugar.

Are you sure it's not a sour orange? They are a distinct breed and not really the same as sweet ones.

> don't do embarrassing things and then sulk when you're exposed.

Thissss. I'm so sick and tired of the hypocrisy. If there was a "Chinese snowden" who leaked that China was doing the same stuff we where it would start a war. If Russia or China started building military bases through out the world for "democracy" we would loose our shit.

Why are we surprised when other world powers follow our example and try to hack the shit out anything they can get their hands on. Can't we be grown ups about this? It's a total double stAndard. We mess with so many elections around the world, and cry foul when someone does it to us.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why we do it, and sometimes agree with it. I feel like it stems from almost a prehistoric primitive tribal instinct - I live if my tribe lives, and to do that we have to control the other tribes.

By all means continue to dominate other countries, but PLEASE STOP USING THE MORAL SUPERIORITY CARD.

This all is potential, but also seems to be based purely on your own opinion. Are you referencing a scenario that already happened in a different country?

If no one told you that elephants had gone extinct, would you, or the average person ever know? Being serious here no down votes plz.

I'm all for being nice to animals but tbh untill we can feed "starving kids in Africa" maybe limited resources would be better directed for humans and not elephants (ie enforcing bans / going after black market).

Many products (cell phones, cars, medical) started off for "the rich" and gradually became mass market. I am very surprised at how many people are not able to see a future where general purpose ground based transportation is obsolete.

It's seemed to pull alot from the US invasion of the middle East, except that the rebel terrorists are the good guys. Alot if desert scenes, roadside bombs, even some of the style of head dress was reminiscent of the black head scarfs Al-Qaeda uses

exactly. if something had actually happend, as in they had hard evidence of a specific incident, they would broadcast that all over to prove that he is a criminal.

as far as i know, this has not happend yet.

>It will take a long time to mitigate the damage he caused

I am assuming he means a long time to fix the trust btwn the US govt and people? Because I am not aware of any concrete evidence that shows damages specifically caused by the disclousres.

Pretty sure most terrosits already knew that they had to be careful with their comm. as it was most likley monitored. And the bombings in europe where not coordinated by advanced encryption, but normal social media accounts as i understand.

maybey you could have a default .01$ for all sites that are using the micropayment platform (somthing like a discus plugin), and then the option to give more if you really like. so you don't actaully need to think about it most of the time

does AdNauseam work if I have something like Ghostry (ad blocker) running?
