How much is $150,000,000,000 per taxpayer?
How much is the $500,000,000 _per year_ for "digital inclusiveness" per taxpayer?
Who is going to pay for this?
One of the problems with this entire group of politicians is that none care about the debt. It's kind of like the environment. They'll all be long dead before those chickens come home to roost.
We're from Facebook and we're here to help.
Bah.
I'm a "Level 7" local guide.
The "perks" have been junk, utter junk. What a waste of time.
If you are thinking about becoming a google local guide, I suggest you consider taking up knitting, or origami, or macrame. You will have a better outcome.
Brought to you by the apologists at the Feline Department of Propaganda, where the letter K and the digit 9 have been removed from all keyboards.
You might think they could have come up with a better name, not re-use a successful project name from the 80s:
so... ineptness in this case. But greed in many others.
They sell your privacy, piecemeal.
Case in point: you can no longer see how other people view your profile. The "view as..." option quietly disappeared.
Expect everything you post to be public, whether through your accident, Facebook's ineptness, or Facebook's greed.
Hit the credit bureaus where it counts: freeze your credit reports.
While this does make it more difficult if you apply for new credit (you need to un-freeze) it screws up the credit bureau's business model; they cannot make any money selling your credit report when frozen.
That very same Bruce Perens has been involved in the no-code movement, which has largely resurrected amateur radio, possibly to the dismay of said "old timers".
See the last paragraph of https://perens.com/about-bruce...
His force on open-source efforts have been similarly successfully disruptive.
Once you install Windows 10, you no longer own your computer. Microsoft can install what ever they want on it, and reboot it when ever they want. That also gives them the ability to remove anything they want from your computer.
That's all I need, files magically disappearing from my local media.
Thanks but no thanks.
If Microsoft buys GitHub, I am moving all my code to GitLab or Bitbucket.
I went camping in South Carolina with my cronies, in a State Park campground *directly under the line of totality*.
The place was packed, and people were complaining that the WiFi was slow. Talk about your first world problem. We reserved our spots months in advance.
We went there on Saturday and left on Tuesday to avoid the traffic. The weather cooperated, the view was spectacular.
We had a collection of telescopes and big telephoto lenses, some great food and illegal potables.
Good times.
Yeah, I read the linked paper and a lot of the breathless press about it, too. Thanks for asking. The press really got it wrong, and maybe that's what twisted me up. These guys got it right: http://blogs.discovermagazine.... -- very few of the others did.
The reason that there is so much guaiacol in whisky from Scotland has a whole lot to do with the way that they smoke the barley. Especially the Islay whiskys. They smoke the malted barley, then ferment it, then distill it, and even after being distilled twice, the whisky still smells smoky to the nose, and more so with a splash of water.
Makers Mark is made from corn, and the only thing smoked is the inside of the barrel, which is charred. The article authors are not talking about high-proof bourbon. IMHO, you are just diluting that, which may not be a bad thing.
Nothing happens.
