if you invest in only american stock, you're descriminating... what if i forced you to buy foreign stock to balance it out? isn't that the same concept? you OWN that company.
I'm against discrimination and all, but isn't the decision to invest freely based on anything they want? I like the cut of his jib, or those shoes are cool, you're in? This isn't a job, it's an investment of money in a company. I could be way off base though. Opinions?
This is the beautiful of the internet. People always look at the internet and see the facebooks and the twitters that connect us, and that's cool, but people don't see the beautiful parts. this is the beautiful.
this could have the potential to break the concept of facebook (though it has managed to do much of the damage on its own) in that it makes you unfriend people so you don't have a negative mark, and add friends you don't like or socialize with, and force you to talk to them, just to help your chances at a loan... seems like the only facebooks true purpose will be lost
that happened to me. i was in great standing with my electric company (DTE, I've never missed a payment in the last 10 years) but because the previous tenant had not paid their bill, not only did i have to prove i was a new tenant, i had to put a huge deposit down.
When I finally get a handle on my credit score, they have to come in and make my facebook profile another factor.... Next it will be my sleeping patterns, because some article somewhere said that sleeping patterns determine your likeliness of paying your bills on time.
fascinating to look at the beginning of something that has become so huge. millions of phones run on a linux kernel, as well as all those tablets, pcs, and other random devices. i wonder if that email will ever go into a historic museum one day.
Yes. I looked up a few in my area, and... yeah. expensive. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I mean, I can pay that high amount of money and hope my product is a success, but that's a lot of money for a giant maybe. My odds may be better with some scratch offs
I liked the article, but the part i found most interesting was the comment.
I just want to point out a flaw in your individual count calculation. Although normal person would have just 40 contacts you forget that some of us call very common number and that lets NSA to connect even more people that 19mil. Even I never met this article author, we are probably connected in less than 3 hops :). If I called Verizon support and author called Verizon support, we are connected. And if some suspect called Verizon support, our phone call history is in that “corporate store” where NSA can query any way they want :). You are absolutely right – evil is in details…
so this is a huge loophole. i think every one i know and people i don't have called verizon or comcast. so if someone that is a foreigner makes a call to verizon or comcast, i am now able to be collected on? welcome to the party everyone. i'm in a terrorist bin at the NSA.
EDIT: also, i was just thinking: if i want to track someone and all i have is the phone number, why can't i just have someone i know that's overseas call them once? they are now able to be tracked. isn't that a flaw to the system? there is no way this kind of power can be contained.
tl;dr. yes. i don't care anymore. they should fire their employees and just close down shop. i know the article implies it should be automated, but i don't really care. the food is horrible for you. this is the time when we all stand up and say, fuck fast food. let's eat a food that wasn't chemically marketed to make us want more.
i agree, it's just frustrating to have to hop through them. and even though you're probably right, without actually seeing what is redacted, we will never know if that's all that they redacted.
Redaction is the pebble in the shoe of anyone reading this. How frustrating to not just be able to read it. It allows the gov. to say, you're not seeing it in the full context. well, no shit, we can't see it in it's full context. frustrated!
well, if this keeps up, the NSA won't have much internet to snoop. I think that these politicians need to stop taking months off and get some shit done.
I agree with your assessment. I did appreciate the feedback he gave on Musk's idea, but I think he went about it all wrong. i think he should have proposed the problems as flaws to Musk's work and let someone in the spacex or just the growing hyperloop community come up with a solution to perfect the concept, not condemn it. no idea pops out of the head of someone perfected. that's naive. Now if anyone does respond to his points based on this article, they'll probably attack back with a equally negative tone, ruining the full concept of what the hyperloop is.
I voted for him too. Disappointed doesn't cover it. I know his speeches were rehearsed and all politicians just want that golden seat at the top, but i honestly thought he would follow through with a few more promises. I was actually shocked that he chose to openly back the NSA. I unvoted for him in my head that day.
it's actually 350. i'm not sure why they claimed the price wasn't announced, as the bottom of the page clearly has a price for both: a 350 model and a submersible version for 400. http://solaptop.com/en/products/laptops/
"I've been feeling guilty about my job at tricking the people as a systems admin for the NSA, but the money is great, so i keep my mouth shut... wait... i'm fired?... ctrl+a, ctrl+c.. ctrl+v.... send"
i agree with this statement. i don't think that anyone was saying they would quit the government en masse. i actually got the impression that they were talking about freelancers and such, but i could be wrong.
If you as a customer are held accountable for fine print that you never read, why isn't the reverse? This should be a no-brainer if you ask me. Hypocrites
