To say one man's policies were the cause of the Greek financial crisis is a bit overly simplistic. In fact, due to how Greece's economy and financial system was structured, the Finance Minister probably could not have had corrected the situation before it became a crisis.

That is a very good answer to the question. The more general answer is "information" and "education" in all areas of life. The correlation between education and status growth is well studied and I'm surprised the question even had to be asked.

That's not what that question implies at all. That question asks, quite plainly, what is it that we as a society value such that we as a society value one man's hour more than another. Obviously we don't value everyone's time the same, but we do value some things more than others. It appears that *what* those things are is the crux of the matter, and what the question was asking.

Not very, is the answer. I bought a movie from Amazon. I wanted to watch it on my family vacation to Canada. I couldn't, because it was region locked. They were nice enough to refund me that purchase and every Amazon Video purchase I had ever made, though. These days, I no longer buy media. That whole industry has soured me on "owning" media. I only rent because at least then I get what I paid for.

I wonder what proportion of the growth can be attributed to his company being in the national consciousness from the press coverage it garnered?

Well, you wrote "the claimant is a legal representative of the copyright owner" not "the claimant is a legal representative of the organisation asserting the copyright and making the complaint." Sorry about the confusion if you meant the second, not the first.

In this case, the person who files the claim is not a legal representative of the copyright owner. Sony did not own the copyright.

Which is why he said "Want guaranteed speeds?" You don't, so of course you won't take the deal. I have a dedicated circuit because I want guaranteed speed. I also pay less than my local cable company charges (though I get slower than they "say I'll get"). It's certainly not orders of magnitude more than them, though.

You have a strange definition of knowing or not knowing something, but to each their own.

Okay, you know you pay out the ass because you see how much they charge you. That's kind of, like, seeing the bill, ain't it?

How do you know you pay out the ass for 50 GB/mo if you never see the bill?

Um, what other smart phones cost under $205? I can think of none.

I am not sure what protection under the law has to do with anything. Sneeka2 did not mention anything about protections, only the stupidity of Uber's maneuver. Posting a private key in a public place is pretty dumb. Not revoking and changing your keys once you discover the mistake is also stupid. Expecting someone who finds the key to not use it is also stupid.

The things you mentioned are also risks, to different degrees. I don't leave my car unlocked with my wallet on the street. I find that stupid. I shred any paper with my social security number on it. I find putting such paper in the trash stupid. I still expect legal protections in case I do make a mistake, but I would expect that if I left my car unlocked with my wallet on the seat that someone might burgle it. That's a pretty reasonable expectation. It's why I avoid exposing myself to such risk.

Private keys posted on the public internet are dumber than putting a wallet on the seat of an unlocked car.

How does one "safely" run any program? That's a question we've been trying to answer since the dawn of programs.

You can disable the check, you know.
