One thing I do to give myself time to think is to just rephrase the question as a way to ensure I understood correctly as well as demonstrating that you're listening and participating. I then ask clarifying questions and ask for them to confirm any assumptions I'm making based upon answers given as part of my thought process. It's just thinking out loud and can also help demonstrate _how_ you think about problems. This lays the groundwork for you to construct a cohesive narrative.
Can't readers just unsubscribe if they disagree with whatever the writer is saying? This just changes who pays the bills.
Ultimately, I think the writer will cater to their audience with subscriptions being a far stronger signal than clicks. I don't see how this is better for Democracy, but I'd love to be proved wrong. We need better access to better news, not more paywalls.
I actually participated in the program a couple of years ago. You used it for 6 months and it monitored your driving looking for things like rapid acceleration/deceleration -- I assume that's what leads to most accidents. It also tracked time of day as an indicator of how risky you are to insure. When I used it, it was only used to discount your insurance if you were a good driver by their metrics, not increase any premiums.
I've basically locked down my Facebook to where no one can see any tagged photos of me. I don't fill out any of my interests/hobbies and I limit who I add as a friend.
Google has me by the balls though. I'm sure they know me better than any other person alive through my searches, email, and google reader subscriptions.
I don't like it, but I'm also not overly concerned since I'm not doing anything to get me into any sort of trouble.
I'm still using my original Palm Pre because I find the other mobile OSes lacking. Sadly, I'll probably make the move to Android soon since the Palm hardware is falling apart.
Look up the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007. After 10 years of working in public service where you have made 120 payments toward the loan, they will discharge the rest of it. There's always the military.
I also like the idea and agree with you on the name. From the US point of view, when I hear nation building, I think of the conflicts in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
I also don't see how the name relates to non profits.
> Also facebook album with proper privacy settings is much better option.
I think this is superior due to the simplicity of the privacy settings.
The main benefit I see is for events and occasions where multiple people want to share photos. They can all be uploaded to a single location/group rather than spread out among several different facebook albums. In addition, only the users within the group can view them. You could be diligent in the privacy settings for the photos you upload yourself, but your friend might not be and the photos could still be viewed by mutual acquaintances.
And I fell in love with it again. I'm learning how to work in this new world and it's fun as hell.
