"users can avoid data collection by simply not using the Bose companion app."
But if I download the app it should make crystal clear and visible that they want to collect the data. As you noted, shame on Bose. Going without would work but if you don't know what's happening then you don't have the information to opt by going without.
Robin Williams being death is not going to change but if new data emerge showing that it was murder and not suicide that killed him then it makes sense to keep reporting on his death. Likewise, the cord-cutting phenomena is already documented and we know it is happening. But if new numbers emerge that show acceleration or a shift of behavior I am very interested. So as I said before, don't read. I respect your lack of interest but I disagree with your comment.
I read Taplin I knew something weird was coming. I read something similar in the local newspaper. It actually started with some interesting questioning but quickly devolved into a "Google, Amazon, Apple etc bad cause they are big" rant and how newspapers are treated so unfairly and nobody gives us free money like these companies. It's kind of hard to fix old vices so the best we can do is give him that understanding look parents give when kids do dumb things, explain why he is wrong and wait for the next dumb thing. Chances are he is not changing.
It's a follow up with new numbers as the trend evolves? When I see a new article about a topic I don't want to hear more or don't care enough to go past the headline I simply don't read. Do the same.
"Ultimately, denial-prone cable and broadcast executives will be left with just one, unthinkable option: actually competing on cable TV price, flexibility and quality."
Good one! Do you know that joke about the drunk guy and the dog?
"It appears the office simply has no empathy for those it's helped convict. "
Of course not, all they care about is scoring convictions. Justice isn't an issue.
Sadly the US are just a high profile example. Law enforcement and the justice systems around the world are plagued with similar problems differing only in how bad it is.
That question is quite rhetorical, no? Though that part about female African-American seems perfectly good as one of the motives considering Republicans have the majority now (and the White House) and it seems they are generally bigoted assholes (with exceptions of course and this doesn't mean Democrats are good). Mind you I don't care about partisan bullshit neither in the US nor in my country but if this is not the case then the Republicans are doing it wrong because this is my perception.
"On the debate’s flip side, there are those who use pejorative terms like “pirates” to describe those accused of Copyright Act violations. In truth, none of these or other puerile terms are helpful to sober legal analysis. Quite the opposite. The terms are mentioned here only because they are sprinkled prolifically throughout the literature, and even some court opinions, on this topic. In all, the defense would discourage use of such invectives, as they are analytically unhelpful and unnecessarily inflammatory."
Save it for posterity. One of the MAFIAA offspring calling out that specific bullshit has to be carved into stone and enshrined. And cited ad nauseam when they come with the theft/criminal bullshit.
What the company (should) provide is actually beneficial for everybody and has one hell of a disruptive potential. But the way Uber has been behaving isn't helping the cause. Sadly.
So, who are we gonna lock up for the fake news spreading around? (just to remind how bad these fake news laws would be)
I'd love to see someone throwing that question publicly to the morons that support this law. It would be fun to watch them struggle to get out of the dilemma.
"In Canada, Chile, Japan, ****India****, Norway, and The Netherlands where the practice has been banned; not so much. "
Even the country his parents came from disagrees with him not to mention all the other heavyweights in that list (and the ones not mentioned). There must be a whole freakin ton of money going into his arse to be that willfully blind and deaf.
I'm afraid that artistic depiction of the card is not accurate. For better accuracy I'd go with graphical descriptions of crimes, corruption or our plain old uncle Lucifer (or the equivalent devil in any religion). That would be more fitting.
Though truth be said it wouldn't be fair towards a few of them like Wyden.
