Somehow a telecom overcharging a penny a minute back in the bad old days of big monopolies really didn't peg my rage meter as opposed to today one of the largest companies on Earth censoring the Bible.

I just listened to our son on a live podcast by his black professor, along with another student, who is black. He handled himself quite well considering he was outnumbered, and came across as the likeable, reasonable person he is. But I wanted to strangle him when he sort of agreed with the prof and other student that the Starbucks situation was racist.
Gah! I called my husband and said, "Graduation cannot come soon enough."
Finals are next week, and I'm sure he had that in mind.

And Android is a phishing net for our movements, our communications, our interactions, our buying habits, and so much more that it's impossible to see the full picture of what it does.
It gets caught and filtered and added to computer use and all worked together into a surveillance web that may surpass anything the NSA officially has.
And they want to begin to censor and isolate ideas that they don't like.

Just as an aside, this makes me giggle every time I see it. Out of nowhere, a competitor shows up and blows the IPhone out of the water. Better, cheaper, more user friendly, doesn't tell you how you should and can use your phone. Hmmm seems like that's a business model that others could follow.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 23, 2018 06:12 PM (39g3+)
Anyone know if anti-trust law, as currently evolved/mangled/monsterized, would cover practices such as running losing operations to prevent competitors gaining a foothold?
Don't know about any "TruCons," and I've "boycotted" Goolag best I can for years for lots of other reasons, but seems to me pretty simple. If these outfits are private companies, with no special status or designations, they can do what they want. All a question of giving them special status (regulated), or not. Right?
A separate angle - one that might imperil the very business model - would be privacy requirements that made it much harder to monetize the personal data of Goolag and Farcebook, et al.

Gees, that's awful. My experience has been weird, I've noticed smaller startups have consistently offered me better benefits, since then I work for a mid-tier company with a nearly billion dollar revenue stream and the worst fucking healthcare benefits I've ever seen in my life. I'm actually putting out feelers now to go back to working for a smaller agency again.

It's far more complicated than this though.
Google effectively "dumped" android on the market. Gave it away totally free to manufacturers who adopted it because it was free (and at the time fairly customizable for their bloatware).
Google did this because tethering us all to android feeds their data beast. By the time MS realized what was up, it was too late. (WP7 and 8 were great OS's hobbled by lack of uptake.)

And that planet is...Uranus. How perfect it is, that it would smell like rotten eggs. I get a kick outta that.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at April 23, 2018 06:15 PM (39g3+)
"The Cloud" is just a marketing gimmick, nothing more. When you use "the Cloud" you are not doing anything we were not doing back in the early 1980s. We even called it a cloud, drew a cloud symbol on our diagrams and so forth, back then. But the "Cloud" was just the network, period. A computer network (nowadays mainly the Internet, or what the Internet has morphed into over the past 20 years) that you used to access a remote host, server, whatever you want to call it, where your data is stored. Read it, write to it, access it, it's all the same stuff we've been doing literally forever. In terms of how it is put together, how it works, and all that, nothing has fundamentally changed in all these years. Sure, the network is faster, more available bandwidth, greater storage capacity, and all that. But fundamentally it works no differently now than it did 40 years ago. "Cloud" my ass...

Every day, but we fight on a different realm than the political and legal. Ideas, "overthrowing reasonings, and every high thing rising up against the knowledge of God, and taking captive every design to the obedience of Christ."
As citizens of the United States we have a responsibility to also fight against injustice, criminality, and violations of the constitution, but that's something that lies on us all, not Christians specifically.
Personally I sense and have a suspicion that the culture is changing, that the worm has turned. But like all things, its hard to see when you're too close and the enemy can seem to be very triumphant for quite a while even while losing.

How about something simple, such as the activist left hates and despises Christianity, and is eager to take any step they can to marginalize it and destroy it, if possible?
I know, that's kinda nutty, like saying that the left hates gun owners and wants to ban all guns in the United States.

OK that's a bit harsh, I agree that abortion should be illegal, and I am absolutely 100% on board with calling abortion the worst possible sort of murder. But I don't think a terrified, desperate teenage girl should be executed for it, nor should anyone else. That's a punishment far beyond the deed, and I can explain why I say that if anyone really cares or isn't clear on the concept.
But okay, he thinks this.
What happens if he thinks this? What takes place in the world? How does this impact anyone? What is the worst thing that can happen if, for example, he's hired by a failing leftist publisher and writes columns for them?
This is what the left doesn't' want to discuss. They want extreme answers to nonexistent problems. They are so insecure in their ideology and so wedded to the madness that if only we clear out all the bad voices everyone will become good people and all bad things will go away that they insist nobody who disagrees with them be allowed to be heard.
Not because they think there's a direct correlation or connection between beliefs we hold and evil events. But because they want to be the only voice, because they believe sincerely that there are no bad boys, only bad influences. That if we just get rid of the bad stuff then all poverty, racism, discomfort, sadness, lack, hunger, and all the rest will all just disappear. That all this is caused not by something innate to our natures, not by humanity but by Bad People with Bad Ideas who we have to excise from the public for the good of us all.

If I were Post Millennial, I'd be tempted to think that the period where the Church grows and fills the world was in the past and now we're in the time when Satan is unleashed.
However... all times have been bad in their own way, and the church is growing vastly in places like Eastern Asia and Africa. Just because its rough times here doesn't mean the church is diminishing. We're just in a bad place right now. And who could argue honestly that we don't have judgment coming?

Back on names, there are a handful of russified Armenian names, perhaps the most famous being chess legend Garry Kasparov, whose mother's name was Kasparyan. Armenians were one of the few non-Slavic minorities allowed to rise all the way, even in politics, in the later Soviet era (early on, the Soviet "elite" was a riot of various ethnicities and even nationalities, for example lots of Poles like Dzherzhinsky, founder of the secret police).

No, by the time it got to the appellate courts Brown was in office. The whole thing pissed me off - the point of the initiative process is to allow the people to pass a law the state doesn't want. The idea only the state has standing for an appeal is just the sort of sophistry we've come to expect since the leftists took over the court system.

But you left out the best part. By faithlessly failing to do his duty and defend the initiative statute, and letting a private party bang its head on the kangaroo court hearing the case, Brown did his part to amend CA's constitution without a vote. Upon appeal, of course, the private party was denied "standing" (only state AGs have standing, you see).
So ...... putting it all together, CA can "over-turn" the voters using the state constitution to pass statutes by referendum by simply failing to defend them when challenged in court, counting on the courts to do their typical lawless worst - and in effect there is no appeal, as SCOTUS will deny standing.

I seriously doubt that AWS has a server farm anywhere near Palo Alto. Amazon tends to put its stuff in rural, low-cost areas. Servers don't give a shit where they are. If there's cheap electricity, a fiber optic trunk nearby, and low real estate costs, that's where they get put. California has the fiber, but not the others.
Also, Amazon's hosting centers don't say ANYTHING on the building, for security reasons. It's not like the general public is going to be dropping in for a visit.
