When I officially became a Sr. level professional I decided to contribute to multiple info-exchange platforms. I succeeded quite much in many sites except this one. Apparently the issue is exactly what this article described. Some well established users used their dominant status to hold new users down. I remember answering a question which can be answered in many ways. I was one of the two who answered first. I know my answer was right because it was quite clear and easy to me. The other guy wanted to be a punk so he voted me down while commenting on my msg that it was wrong. Problem is I didn't have enough "reputation" to comment back. Having seen this, I decided not to post anything at all on the site. I still thrive today in many other places... just not with this God's forsaken place.

800% is NOT 8 times and 1500% is NOT 15 times.

They stole this "study" my mom... she told me this nearly 40 years ago. Too bad she didn't file copyright for her discovery. Fucking bastards!!

I don't think school districts have the technical abilities/stability to hold data for an extended amount of time. They simply don't have the capability to guarantee the data will stay long and in tact. In case of a system crash or data loss, they don't have proper equipments and resources to recover. Cloud storage 3rd-party vendor may sound foolish, but it's still safer. Imagine hacking into an elementary school vs a 3rd-party provider. The elementary school has to be easier.

Lots and lots of bright people who have unrivaled skills... but they choose to put those skills to harmful use. I just don't get it. To be such smart, they have to know doing those things will cost them their freedom. I guess they were born smart but never been taught manners. That's why they think it's okay to commit crimes.

About 12 years ago I went to BofA to open a small business account and I was invited to an account manager's office. I had a brief look at his computer and it was Windows 3.11. Good God man!

I love to see people like you, all over the internet who keep calling others stupid/idiot and all kinds of disrespectful stuffs. The second you make a statement, I know you're a democrat and I love seeing all of you spilling your guts hatefully. You can't keep yourself together when it comes to insults. You MUST insult somebody everyday and that's just the way it is. Here I am voicing my own opinion, you just have to come in and call me stupid. Everybody has their own opinion, but being a democrat you have absolutely zero respect for that so you and people like you will freely insult anybody else who has an opinion that differs from yours. As if you have the birthright to insult others. Our country is becoming less than a third world country because of people like you.

My reason is similar to yours... only I don't care whether or not it's a computer. I trust the way it was built and I don't want assholes like Small-weenie to dictate what happens. I don't give a rats ass about his rights. I only care about mine. I didn't buy the iPhone from Fortnite, I sure as hell don't want him to influence policies on my device.

Here's the 2013 article talking about how Obama vetoed the ITC's ban on Apple products https://archive.nytimes.com/bi...

Obama didn't give them free pass to ignore Samsung's patents. Samsung did win the suit. What they did wrong is that they asked the court to ban selling Apple products in the US. The court gave the order to ban US products on US soil. Obama signed an executive order to vacate that ruling. Obama's message was clear: Samsung is a guest in the US. We will not allow them to ban our products in our own country. No other foreign company ever tried something like that ever again since. That message wasn't just for foreign companies but for judges too, who need to think 12 times before giving such a ban order.

If he would have just be like anybody else, there wouldn't have been such a years long debacle, only to win and can't do shit about it. Sweeney has a small weenie, that's why he's acting out. He feels special that's why he thought he had the right that nobody else had. Based alone on the fact that he unilaterally changed payment to his own cc processing at the beginning, Apple had every right to ban Fortnite. It doesn't mean shit if they won the ruling because his act was in violation of an agreement that was IN EFFECT at the time. The ruling is meaningless if he can't be on apple appstore at all.

Selling private data is a crime. Buying it is supporting such crime. Say the cops bought data that incriminates me. I can easily disqualify that data based on the fact that the transaction was illegal to begin with, not to mention cops engaged in trading illegal products with criminals. Plus, there's no guaranteed that because someone wanted money, could have made up random data and sold to the cops for a buck. If a cop presents such evidence to incriminate me, I'll demand the court to place that cop under arrest for engaging in criminal behavior in order to prosecute. That's the definition of malicious prosecution, a crime that puts DAs in jail.

Did hotspots ever get offered to kids? I have 3 kids in elementary and never heard of this before. Regardless, I don't trust this type of service being offered by gov contract winners. The quality they provide will probably suck because nobody inspects that quality. They likely partner with data thieves like Meta and Google to creepily look at what my children do. No thanks!

Areas with poor service quality can now simply use satellite internet. I certainly hope in the future more companies provide this type of service in competition to Starlink. But for now, that's the option. I have super fast internet at my home but always maintain a subscription with Starlink so that it can be used on trips. If I'm lucky, I can travel overseas and still use it in supported areas.

This guy is so creepy he's promoting this stuff. It's not because he wants to help people. It's rather because he wants to collect private information from them when they talk to the AI friends, which he has 100% control over. Those AI friends will store what people say/see/hear and Z just loves to get his hands on those data, even if they came from 3 year old children.
