Moving them off US company/subsidiary servers in other countries is a huge threat to Nadella's cloud-focused Microsoft.
True, I also wonder if MS won't be liable for contract and privacy violations in the EU, if they do provide the data...
The government could almost certainly get this data by going through the proper procedures in Ireland.
Maybe not. If the Irish government caves in to American pressure
How does this have anything to do with the Irish government, it doesn't control the Irish courts. Anyways, more likely than not the US government is trying to establish a precedence; and when doing so they're probably smart enough to use a case where they have "probable cause" for a search warrant.
Nobody have debated those merits, so if presented in an Irish court they might grant a search warrant...
...public Elementary School in a declared "Drug Free Zone"...
Of-topic, I've never understood that declaration... it seems to imply that drugs are allowed everywhere else. Which by my understanding isn't the case.
Oh, well... Americans
We've had plenty of companies claim they fully vet their ads. And we've seen them get exploited time and time again.
This is mozilla... not any company...
Also we still just talking about experimenting with sponsored suggestions... My impression is that this is an attempt to create a win-win situation....
From what I understand there have been absolutely no talk about selling this space to highest bidder, or offering it to anybody.
It sounds more of an attempt to make the tile page usable and profitable, for users why haven't browsed enough that smart suggestions can be automatically generated... I think that what FF does now... Show suggestions based on browser history (locally of course, not using an invading cloud like Chrome).
President Bill Clinton - 133
half of these is probably about whether or not he slept with that woman... he he...
- Not that I ever cared one bit....
I'm guessing they would still do it anyway.
Really...
Anyways, as always this is greatly misrepresented in the media... What they are doing is experimenting... nothing is in beta yet...
As if drive-by malware embedded in ads hasn't happened before. Yea, you might want to have a seat, I got some things to tell you.
This is veted ads.... not an iframe... it not even ads, more like suggestions... trying to fall in the space where it is useful, thereby creating a win-win situation... thats not easy, but if anybody can be trusted to try it is mozilla..
And when they conspired with others to commit a crime did it also become a RICO crime? (I must admit I don't know what the hurdle is to make something RICO)
I'm left wondering the same thing... I would really like to see a weeks jail time for some Uber managers, contractors and employees involved.
Seriously, as an employee organizing this shit you have responsibility...
...they could end up facing RICO charges as a criminal syndicate.
I really hope the prosecutors office opens a case, and jails an Uber CEO. The alternative taxi services are great, but if they don't fall in line, they'll be regulated as tightly as taxies..
The kind of thinking that leads to this kind of dishonesty is why the taxi industry has been so tightly regulated for so long.
If they're willing to do this to each other, to cost each other money, imagine what they're willing to do to you, the fare, who have money for them to take.
Exactly... It's beyond my comprehension why Uber is this stupid... This kind of move is exactly what will get them prohibited.
Besides there is plenty of room for growth through the simple act of providing a better service than taxis...
If I was Uber or Lyft management, I would not dare this... and I would strike very hard against any employee or driver who even remotely annoyed or interfered with taxis and other competing services. This is just stupidity beyond comprehension...
This is seriously shit your CS 100 or 200-level teacher SHOULD have taught you, if you got a CS degree.
A CS professor shouldn't teach you to "never say never"... just ask for a formal proof
Especially, if you're claiming that P != NP or the like...
So all that "slippery slope" shit from 10 years ago doesn't seem so stupid now, does it?
As one of those sheep 10 years ago.. I would like to apologizes.
After Snowden my view of US intelligence efforts changed dramatically.
Respect for the dead starts with not spreading their demise to every curious onlooker.
Thank you... That's spot on...
And for all those using the "you-can't-control-the-internet" argument, you're right we can't... But I respect google for trying to control their portion of it (ie. youtube).
I'd totally rather than the article about Nimrod stay, and anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off and visit some other web site.
I can't tell if the people who modded you insightful were being sarcastic...
Okay, joke aside... Statements like everybody else can just **** of because something you wanted to read about was marked for deletion. Is part of the problem.
Wikipedia editors and can't get every decision right... If nimrod (which btw, think I've heard about before) continues it's growth, then I'm sure it'll eventually be featured on wikipedia.
Note, I didn't say the current decision is right, but give them a break. But give it time, and bring up again (don't be an edit warrior)
Also drop the " censor, censor, censor" rhetoric... You are free to publish this anywhere else. Why don't you just make a site with rejected wikipedia articles, where people can work on them till wikipedia is ready to accept them.
Why is this a surprise?
If you go the service desk for any reasons (the equivalent of calling tech support) the personal there is not instructed to try and sell you more stuff
