If people keep pushing it with VPNs and censorship avoidance they'll just push Turkey to switch to a whitelisted Turkey-approved Internet and block everything else by default. It's much easier to maintain a whitelist of approved sites when you're censoring people than try to play whack-a-mole and block things that you don't like.
In what way? The US government has done nothing to restrict the growth of the Internet compared to other nations that force national firewalls and web-filtering proxies on their citizens.
For one thing there is no 8GB Nexus 5. For another, anyone following Google's Nexus product lines knew that the $199 and $249 price points were obviously clearance prices to move the last bit of inventory out of the pipeline and make way for the Nexus 5.
It's silly you'd even argue this considering there is no other phone you can buy for $350 that is anywhere near as capable as the Nexus 5. It is competing with phones with an MSRP of over $500.
I've always wondered what incentive counterfeiters even have for trying to copy these new bills. I have several $100 bills from around 20 years ago that I keep in a safe as an emergency reserve and they're still legal tender as far as I know. Why wouldn't counterfeiters just continue to counterfeit the older bills?
This is probably a good reminder that you should never send anything in unencrypted e-mail that you wouldn't be willing to write on a postcard and send via USPS.
What would be nice is a package escrow service for one-off purchases here or there that are not time critical. You sell your item on eBay (or wherever) as normal, but the buyer pays the escrow service. Then when they confirm payment, you ship your item to the escrow service who then unpacks the item, verifies the contents are as described and functional, and then repacks it and ships it on to the buyer. Then they release the payment to you.
If the buyer tries to scam them by saying the item was not as described, the escrow service (presumably insured some way) would deal with them and you're out of the picture.
It would add a few days of delay to purchases, but for casual items already being sent UPS or Fedex Ground that aren't time critical it seems like it could add considerable piece of mind to small time sellers and buyers.
