All that's going to happen is the military will ban or "issue guidance" on using fitness trackers in and around military and civilian contractors under its authority.
Well. Until someone uses the metadata to link the bases to nearby red light districts. THEN you'll see a knee-jerk reaction.
Strava's data even provides info on human movements in places redacted from published satellite imagery.
Area 51 aka Groom Lake has pretty good satellite imagery - mapped onto 3D terrain - published via Google Earth.
What it doesn't have is the 3D buildings - created with LIDAR and aerial photography from four different directions - that you see in cities and popular tourist spots on Google Earth. And no StreetView.
They also stressed it had merely been floated by a staff member, not a reflection of some imminent, major policy announcement — and probably might never be."
One imagines Stephen Miller angrily dictating it after being mocked online for his "the powers of the president will not be questioned" interview.
...he could identify the sex and age of the ashes of a deceased person, and also the race, using the concept of frequency. Frequency is measured with an oscilloscope.
Ashes don't have a "frequency." Nothing whatsoever that you can measure with an oscilloscope.
It *does* however point out that dropping out (as opposed to say, fixing it) diminishes America's influence in the TPP countries. That's true no matter what you think of the TPP.
As for "Trump Derangement Syndrome", that would be your belief that anything other than adulation of Trump - even merely carrying on one's business regardless of him - is an attack on him.
Here in the real world - as the story notes - it's a mixed bag. With the IP stuff removed it's a lot better than it was.
But no doubt you only see things in black and white. With your belief that the world not stopping when Trump leaves is an attack on Trump, it's easy to tell which you prefer.
- The current administration has withdrawn from the TPP - diminishing America's influence in the Asia-Pacific region as this story demonstrates. It's promised and is expected to withdraw from NAFTA after its unrealistic demands are unmet. It's slapping heavy duties on everything from solar panels to aircraft, in violation of existing agreements.
- It's rejected the Paris climate agreement, UNESCO, trade deals, the Iran nuclear deal and more. During the election it threatened to withdraw from NATO.
- It's proudly closed its doors to refugees. Leading to waves of already-arrived refugees showing up on the Canadian border from the US. No hyperbole.
- It brands some countries home of murderers and rapists, others home of terrorists, and others "sh_thole countries." It sees America as a victim nation, accusing China of committing "rape" and "theft" against the United States.
Perhaps you should take a break from Breitbart and look at what's going on in the world around you.
It's not a snub, because it's not about Trump and the US.
The US elected a government that proudly favors isolationism - even though it means having less influence internationally.
If one kid takes his marbles and storms off, the other kids can keep playing because that's what THEY want to do. There's simply no longer any reason to keep using that one kid's favorite rules, so it's not a snub to drop them.
He also gave us the News International phone hacking scandal. All those celebrities, politicians, royals, murdered schoolgirls, dead soldiers and terrorist victims having had their phones hacked and the contents reported on.
I'm confused. By Murdoch's logic, should he be paying them a carriage fee, or should they be paying him?
Re: Re: Re: The accurate short version is "these internet companies are making money" -- USING OUR CONTENT FOR FREE.
Murdoch doesn't have to allow Facebook to carry his content. Stopping Google from indexing it or linking to it is easy. Unlike severing ties with a cable company, the users could still reach his sites directly.
But he still allows them to link, because Facebook and Google are adding value. Sending people to his sites that otherwise might not find them let alone look for them.
One can imaging Murdoch's content sources adopting the same attitude. "You want to report on our political/police/corporate press conference? You want to play a clip of our new movie in your talk show? You want to use OUR content for free? You should pay us a carriage fee!"
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Great piece; here are a few observations
whoever could move the audience to moderated websites would get rich [...] Once the moderators hijacked the USENET audience
There were no website moderators hijacking the USENET audience. It was the flood of abuse, trolling and noise that drove everyone to look elsewhere.
To bash USENET because of free speech would be like saying that someone's mustic must stink because everyone walked out of the concert even if they did it to sabotage the musician.
I'm not bashing USENET. I'm not saying that someone's music stinks. I'm saying that when the musician is constantly drowned out by air horns, megaphones and screamed personal attacks, there's not point in them playing. They go somewhere else where air horns and megaphones aren't allowed, and the music lovers follow.
Air horn, megaphone and screamed personal attack connoisseurs may call it censorship - it isn't - but it's vital that those places exist for the music lovers.
