Considering most of the globe lives either the tropics or the subtropics, this is probably only going to get worse, especially as the temperate zones become more and more tropical.

First insects, now rodents? Maybe dogs, then dolphins, then humans?
I would also add that aggressive censoring potentially leads to conspiracy theories, thereby strengthening the original hate message.
Hate speech is not a technical problem. It's a social problem.
Just my $00.02, anyway...
Oops, I meant U3 is the usual or official unemployment rate, not U4.

Yes, unemployment is open to interpretation and yes, there are different ways of presenting the data. The "usual" figure is U4, but for others U6 might be more meaningful. I think U6 is probably a better estimate, but that's just my opinion. What ISN'T my opinion is that no matter what number you use, unemployment is creeping downwards.
If I had mod points, I'd mod your post up. Instead, I'll reply!
Yes, I came here to say exactly this. Also, this story is going to blow up or go viral or whatever, and for no good reason, IMHO. Sure, $8k/mo is pretty good money, but this is an internship. How long do they work? 3-4 months at the most? Keep in mind, that cost of living for those internship months are going to be pretty high, being in San Francisco (-ish).
You're right. While people do live in "flyover country", it pales in comparison to where the majority of Americans live.
I was an AT&T customer ever since they bought Cingular, including buying the iPhone 1 (iPhone 0? iPhoneC for "classic"?). Even with a heavy corp discount, T-Mo was still a better deal than AT&T. I switched over and had the worst time unlocking my phone. It took almost 2 weeks, several lengthy calls to customer service, and several escalations in tech support (I wondered how much longer it would be until they connected me to the CTO or CIO!). It was their fuck up, 100%. As if the pricing weren't incentive enough, my experience with tech support pretty much sealed the deal. I don't know the details of the plans right now, but when I was switching T-Mo was including HotSpot capabilities and unlimited international calls/SMS/data, which would've cost extra at AT&T.
Disclosure: I'm in an area where coverage and speeds are very similar. The small differences are definitely not enough to offset pricing advantages.
Absolutely agree. Went to Taiwan and a couple other countries in one trip and the T-Mo international plan was great. Yes, the speeds are limited to 256kbps, but at least you're not paying extra for it.
It's called following up. Or in it's abbreviated form: FU!
I tried downloading an old attachment (6-7 years ago now) from my gmail account but the attachment is corrupted. No matter how many times I download it or to what computer, it's corrupted. I wonder what Google is using?
Having $60k/yr of discretionary income after taxes and rent doesn't sound so bad in SF, to me anyway. Even if milk is $10/gallon or whatever it costs.
The link to the laptop manufacturer appears to have crumbled.
Crap? I dunno, I think it's kind of fun, and yes, I played Mario Brothers back when they weren't "Super", so get off my lawn!
