Why aren’t these companies looking to make a deal with a high-congestion city? Block off downtown for regular cars. Have people park on the perimeter and use cheap self-driving taxis to travel around. Tax revenue will skyrocket when all the downtown real estate currently wasted on parking lots is replaced with office buildings, shops, and residential structures. People will be happier not wasting hours every day on congested roads.
This is why this “net neutrality” nonsense is so dangerous. It’s an invented issue meant to weaken the FTC by transfering the power to regulate the internet to a government agency that doesn’t have anti-trust authority. The FTC made Amazon possible because, in the 2000s, it used anti-trust to keep local and state governments from taxing and outlawing internet sales of products. Now that Amazon is powerful, it’s lobbying to prevent the same power from being used against it. This is what net neutrality was created for. Nobody wants to slow down your Netflix.
They do almost nothing to help those affected by natural disasters. All they do is setup shelters and feed people in those shelters. They do not help rebuild.
They do an exceptionally poor job at this. Everyone knows about Katrina. In Houston this year, food sat on loading docks downtown while people starved in local shelters. The American Red Cross ran the main shelter so poorly that the city had to build an entirely new shelter and move everyone there...in the middle of a hurricane.
They don’t need your donations. They have a deal with the federal government where they get reimbursed for whatever they spend during a national disaster. The local American Red Cross chapters do this. The national organization does not provide the resources for this.
If you donate to the American Red Cross, you’re throwing your money away. The money won’t go to the local chapters. It won’t go to rebuild. It won’t go to the victims of the natural disaster. Do not donate to the American Red Cross.
Apple should charge a fee to list an app in the App Store. Something like $10/month for any app that is monetized in any way. After all the junk apps go away it’ll be easier for users to find quality apps.
It's awfully sad that every discussion of speech rights needs a paragraph explaining that the author isn't a nazi. The far left seems to have forgotten what it was like when their ideas to be out of the mainstream. When people don't feel free to listen and think and express themselves everyone loses, even the ones in power.
Here we go again throwing money at someone's biography because they're a young female that's into tech. Can we at least put the first Elizabeth Holmes in prison before we start a second one?
Disappointed that there's no mention of a discount. Cryptocurrency payments will save them a lot of money. Web/email hosting is an industry with a high risk if fraud.
Same account. You can use the Google Voice number to 2FA its associated gmail account. A printed backup key will protect you from getting permanently locked out. But nobody will be able to login without physical access to your device or printed key.
This is how 2FA was meant to work. It should always require a physical device only you have access to. Otherwise it's just using 1FA two times.
Or use a Google Voice number to setup
2FA on the same account. That way you can only ever login if you have a device on your person already logged in. If somehow you're away from technology long enough that all your devices are locked, use a printed backup code to unlock one.
