There's a difference between writing something that compiles and being able to write code properly. The "throw enough cheap coders" at the problem will work really well, until it doesn't, and at that point you have nothi

He might not be ignorant, but this whole request couldn't be more vague, and to an outsider makes no sense. I mean asking Facebook to reveal encrypted data? What even is that? The data is stored readable on both the device and presum

Personally I'd like to see the full list of those 60 companies.

If you made a book of these, I would buy it.

You're bringing up a separate argument. One worth having, but not in this thread. The argument here is that the company knows who the data belongs to, and the person above is saying that they shouldn't be able to abstract "yo

NYT said relationship status, religion, political leaning and upcoming events, among other data were shared. FB saying "we didn't share photos" is trying to say "well, we didn't give away everything"

I can see no reasonable need for device manufacturers to have your facebook data (and that of your friends) stored on their servers. Care to elaborate on why this data should be allowed to leave the phone? (and be allowed to be collected r

The distinction wasn't made clear because we're talking about some 60 different agreements with various companies, with each company acting differently. As stated in the article: Facebook acknowledged that some partners did store

Bayer knowingly sold HIV tainted blood products to 3rd world countries. [0] I'm surprised they have a good reputation with anyone at all. https://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/22/business/2-paths-of-bayer.

The British weren't defending the Faroes, they were defending themselves. It's just a question of "someone's going to take it, so we should take it first".. similar to the british and subsequent american occupation

99% of all of the small huts you see on those 'abandoned' islands were never residences but hunting cabins, and many of them are still used as shelter for this purpose. The hunting in question being birds and also repelling down t

This whole Justice Department going after cash instead of convictions can be blamed largely on Eric Holder. Matt Taibbi writes about this extensively in one of his books, I can't remember which, but the main points are included in this

Doesn't sound like fraud. If you rack up a bunch of debt, but take out a mortgage on your already paid off house to get rid of the debt, is it fraud? You had a perfectly good house, but sometimes decisions have to be made. Your credit

Article title is misleading. They're offering reimbursement for incurred expenses, not paying people. State is offering to cover costs of computer hardware, internet, co-working rental space, and relocation. (Max $5k/yr)

Perhaps it's the people's problem for not demanding a better system. Many other countries in the world bank transfers are easy and free (within the country). I can transfer to anyone from my phone, and do all the time. No apps or

I get your argument, but pilots do sleep all the time. Usually they take turns, but there have been multiple incidents that we know about where both pilots have fallen asleep at the same time.. we only ever hear about them if the pilot ove

Since the role of the value of money and government are so intertwined, one wonders if general banking should be more the role of the government institutions and not private corporations.

You have a choice to get in a car and how far you drive. At the moment you don't have a choice if some idiot cobbled some crap together in his basement, attached a load to it and decides to place it way over top of you in the sky.

I'm guessing it's something like that. So assuming the driver knows all of this (and that's a big assumption), then you have the blame shared two ways, and it's hard to tell who deserves more. (1) You'd have the dri

I like your train of thought, but the logic that follows is one can not enjoy or recommend self-improvement books to one another lest they be lumped in with some group of undesirables .. which is silly, as there are many beneficial books i

I'm very curious about the price increase. The only thing that comes to mind how something like that would be possible is if the news trends generated by this were somehow driving algorithmic trading .. either that or people investing

All of the legs of the flight are the same price regardless of whether you book them together or separately. They're not really selling a "stopover" so much as just convincing you to buy plane tickets for what they already co

this is largely incorrect. wow air does not run any tours, tour groups, transport, lodging, etc. it's just a budget airline and they are only interested in transport.
