How about they investigate geographic monopolies, forced rental of modems and routers that are cheaper to buy, arbitrary rate increases, and terrible customer service? I am so frustrated by these regulatory efforts against ISPs that don’t actually help consumers. No one cares about “privacy.” 1/3 of customers are incapable of even understanding the concept. The industry loves these probes into “privacy” so we don’t probe how they rip us all off everyday.
This seems far too complicated. The UX of Dissenter (boo, hiss, I know, control yourself) is simple by comparison, doesn’t involve another destination site, and doesn’t involve a committee deciding whose reviews are more worthy of consideration than others. What Id prefer is a ranking system of journalist merit: does this story cite anonymous sources? Is this story original reporting? Does this story simply repackage someone else’s original reporting with an editorial headline? Is it news, editorial, or opinion? What corporations advertise with the parent company? These are objective measures of newsworthiness and Credder would track none of them by default.
It’s telling to me that they speak of bitcoin only in reference to value stores like gold and not in reference to utilities like p2p payments. Clearly no one is using bitcoin to spend, and very few people are using it as savings (at negative interest!).
Natural gas wasn’t injected down there by man. I can tell you’re sincere but those are not the same things. This still seems like a giant guess. We’re better off burning as little carbon as possible.
I volunteered at my local PBS station in high school during pledge drives. This was 2001. Rick was there once, talking about the DVDs of his show you would get if you donated. After his segment, he hung out and talked with every volunteer. None of the other hosts ever did that. Love him so much.
Still seems like this is a big guess that sequestration works over long periods, or at all at the scale necessary to be industrially significant. I’m inherently sceptical of anything hydrogen related due to the fuel’s association with delay tactics from the carbon industry. Chevron would prefer we all not buy electric cars in hopes of HFC becoming a real thing which, obviously, is just a farce to keep paying them to produce, transport, and sell solid fuel. I think we are better off as a society not burning carbon at all, not looking for places to put carbon polution.
What’s the past year has shown us is that “we” never were recycling. We were just sending our garbage to China and they’ve had enough of it. The entire concept of postconsumer material is basically a marketing concept to appeal to a higher wage consumers.
Who said anything about private industry? Give parents their school money to spend at the school of their choice. Maybe if I call it “universal basic school income” you would like it.
I have a Model 3 in Brooklyn. Thankfully I have a garage where I can charge. Winter definitely makes it harder to charge and to keep charge. I spend about $1 per day to maintain charge level in winter. It’s about 30 cents in Summer.
Net neutrality stopped ISPs from tolling traffic from sources like Netflix and its CDN partners, thus making Netflix cheaper. These costs were then spread among all cable customers, regardless of whether or not they were Netflix customers. For the record, this is not nearly as significant an issue today as it was 5 years ago.
The vast majority of Americans have but one choice for wired high speed Internet. Cable cos like to pretend that they compete with DSL, which is a lie.
How about they do something about random price increases, geographic monopolies, bundling, or forcing customers to rent equipment that’s cheaper to buy? These are issues that affect consumers. The only thing NN does is make Netflix slightly cheaper.
That’s not how I read it. What I read is that the entire story is wrong, no one’s pay is cut, and the reason these signs were posted is unclear. What am I missing?
I employ 105 people in five countries. 30 in the UK. Feel free to renegotiate your contract when asked to work long hours whilst I contact my recruiter to replace you.
Never ceases to amaze me how friggin lazy and entitled are the British when it comes to being told they need to work long hours. It’s a high growth startup. They are vesting you with stock. Hell yes you need to come in on weekends, bruv.
This is lovely until the same system and precedents are used in reverse (algo district attorney) or by banks to automate the foreclosure and seizure of thousands of homes. The banks did it before!
The only thing remarkable here is that these people are not hired by Facebook directly. Someone needs to ask Zuck why he thinks these hires aren’t worthy of catered lunch and @fb.com emails.
