Aka own embezzling funds out under the guise of being "hacked".

Seriously, why the fuck would you waste money on POS telcos again when SpaceX is already delivering to their beta users. Live in the middle of a fucking mountain range? Starlink has you fam.

Solved your problem FCC. Give the money to SpaceX and fuck telcos and cable companies completely and totally from now until the end of time. They got hundreds of billions for rural broadband and just pocketed it. Problem is the FCC is run by a Telco shill.

There, I saved you Americans 150b. Take 10million of that and spend on media campaigns to make sure the maggot fucks(telcos) can't stop it.

Canadian here, here is how I would make sure I was still in power. I would get the voting records of everyone I could, or use analytics to determine the political allegiance. Then I do this: Sorry Mr. Democrat, you will need to pay $$$ to find the location of voting stations in your area. Sorry Mr. Democrat, you will need to pay $$$ to turn off the turdstorm of republican propaganda hitting you every internet page you visit. You can try our "VOTETRUMP" exclusion package. Sorry Senator Turbostein you have to pay $$$ to reach our customers. Sorry NPR, you will need to pay $$$ to reach our customers. Sorry Mr.School, you need to pay $$$ to access book order sites from non-creationist. HEY THERE MR.LIFELONGREPUBLICAN you will have to pay $$$ access a dissenting opinion of your forever party.

There will be no court with defined rules as to what qualifies a person for a job, there never can be. So companies abusing the H1-B program will list some impossible requirements like " 10 years experience with windows 2012" or "52 years experience with COBOL". They'll claim no US candidate matches and then hire a junior from a cheap labor market, pay him shit and the US gov can't do a thing about it. Set a minimum wage of 25% above the USA equivalent job....again this is subjective. Sorry, we couldn't find a Phrenological Engineering Specialist, that position doesn't exist in here so we had to create it and we are setting the wage to be 20k a year. Source: CGI does this in Canada Want to really mess with the program, make the owner of the visa the employee being hired and don't shackle them to the sponsor....then require mandatory union membership. *POOOOOOF* problem dissapears.

His recommendations are for resolving issues that come up with the existing data collection that Democrats (and replubicans) have already been engaging in for decades. He isn't talking about using his company to divulge personal information about users, but to use existing and accepted practices for mining the data. That being said, his advice weighs a lot more than the average advisor's. It's like Mike Tyson coaching your son's elementary school boxing program.

Can I make a suggestion? You should create a channel/blog where you apply this to modern advertising, explaining exactly what they are doing with this level cynicism and wit.. Think this guy: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fuser%2FA...

Imagine having an army of programmers you barely have to pay? Prisons regularly exchange "resources" depending on what state projects the private prison operators have managed to win/undercut. Adding skilled programmers into the mix will give benefiting companies much better margins than outsourcing to China/India/Eastbloc.

So you have 10gigabit downstream and 1gigabit upstream for a 300 dwelling neighborhood. You could say that 10gigabit pie has to be cut into 300 pieces. In reality there will be a big fat teenager in eating 1/3 of it. Google Fiber and other dedicated bandwidth offerings give you that 1 gigabit all to yourself.

Here's another thought on GMO. There is a business case for genetically modifying a potato to make it as addictive as heroin, grow as big as a watermelon and consume 10x the water a normal potato would need. Why? Because it would make Brand X french fries sell more. Our bodies have no defense against food tampering and the FDA would say nothing because in their eyes it's a potato. I agree with the sentiment that the term Scientist can mean anything.

I think the big difference now is that industry that spawn from these improved efficiencies are not local. So Kodak employed 130 000 people and instagram 13, what about the people employed by the hardware manufacturers that make Instagram possible? Companies that make phones, wireless equipment, processors, semiconductors....Imagine if all those jobs/business could be created in the economy that lost 130 000 jobs.

China does not recognize the treaties against the ownership of celestial objects and Republicans being Republicans want to squat on the two best pieces. This is as dumb of an idea as you can come up with for human exploration, but at least it's getting space programs some money. Problem is Politicians aren't rocket scientists and have no concept of the work and technology precursors needed for them to claim their pretty marbles. Asteroids and Comets... building material, water and all the precious metals you could ever want. So of course US wants to avoid asteroids. First asteroid you lasso with gold on it and watch all the rich folks wail and howl and scream when their gold value drops to 19th century levels. China has been mandating their rocket scientists read western Science Fiction for ideas and concepts we take for granted. But they don't even have to bother because Science Fiction is huge China now and is fueling a whole new generation of Science Fiction authors. US better watch out.

1. Has evidence from PRISM been used to indict citizens of the US or its NATO allies. 2. Have any of those accused been denied trial and classed as "enemy combatants"? 3. Do any of the above now reside in Guantanamo Bay ? If all the above is true then PRISM has already been used in the worst way imaginable. I think you'll find that there are 2 Canadian citizens were held in Guantanemo, with a further 16 candidates for immigration or refugees. That's just Canada, I am sure there are more from other NATO partners. I'd be curious to know who was caught with PRISM or ECHELON?

I've worked as an IT professional on an royalt processing system for the 3 of the biggest labels. The project failed because the royalty processing algorithms needed are so convoluted and the backlog of unprocessed royalties so large that you would need supercomputer level processing to get through it. Fact #1: Royalty processing systems of today are 25 years old, based on midframe/mainframe technology and would take 3 months to process the monthend of all their artists. What does that mean? They selectively choose what artists they calculate royalties for (read new artists) and shunt the others to their backlog of billions of unpaid royalties. Fact #2: Current system is album based, even a per song sale requires an album in their system, this adds to the complexity. Fact #3: Because they've already collected money for royalty but not processed the artist portion, they are sitting with billions and billions of unpaid royalties...A lot of artists have to sue their own labels for their royalties and the ARTISTS have to prove the royalties were owing. Only then will the label get off its ass, do an emergency processing of royalties for that artist and then pay it out.
