Dollar General has a much larger selection than an Asian 7-Eleven. It has "real groceries" (albeit a small selection) and many non-food goods like detergent, toys, shampoo, even cell phones and a small variety of clothing. It's kind of like they got a list of the top 10% best-selling items at Wal-Mart and made a store out of it.
Dollar Tree (and Family Dollar IIRC) are a bit different because unlike Dollar General each item is actually a dollar. They're a bit more akin to Daiso, if you visited any of those in Thailand, though again with a bit more food (though less than Dollar General, and in smaller packages).
The quoted statement is highly deceptive. It is backed up with "Our average effective tax rate is 27.1% compared with 27.7% for the other 30 OECD countries, according to CRS", but 27.7% is the rate including the US, which is not a sensible comparison. According to the cited CRS report, the average excluding the US is 23.3% [edit, see below: note that these are GDP-weighted averages].
Additionally, the PwC study the CRS uses [1] provides a full list and ranking. The only OECD countries with higher effective rates are Japan, Germany, and Italy. So, the US effective rate is lower than that of only 3 of "our competitors" and higher than that of the other 26.
It finishes up with two slides of "tough lessons" basically explaining why it failed as a phone OS, and then "what's next?" containing connected device plans. So it's pretty well in line with the announcement.
The title is not accurate. Regardless of whether "people" (excluding me, it seems) think of Firefox OS as a phone OS, Mozilla has been using the name in TV usage for two years [1].
> It's not an unreasonable position for a municipality to chose lose money on a stadium. They typically lose money on symphony orchestras, ballets and performing arts centers. That one is considered low culture and the other considered high culture is not relevant is we assume that the people are being ably represented.
This rests on the premise that is is reasonable for taxpayer money to fund any cultural activities at all, "high" or "low".
In any case, even accepting this premise, the difference is that the examples of "high" culture you cite are, unlike professional sports stadiums, generally not promoted on the basis of claims that they will contribute to the economic development of their communities; rather, they are generally promoted on the basis of unfalsifiable claims that they will have a positive cultural and educational impact.
> if you have a secure enough content security policy (and the browser in question supports it properly) it will be impossible for an attacker to execute their inserted Javascript
I don't follow your reasoning. Why wouldn't an MITM attacker modifying an HTTP response body to insert rogue Javascript also be able to modify the response headers to strip or alter the Content Security Policy?
A quick look at their source suggests that they are using something called BLOX CMS, and their nameservers are run by TownNews, which is apparently the company behind BLOX.
BLOX is advertised as "Cloud-based" with "No hardware or software to install & maintain".
This all suggests that they actually cannot make such a change, by virtue of using an SaaS solution they have no control over.
Part 1) This is according merely to an FBI affidavit [1] applying for a search warrant, much less a charge or conviction. Roberts has claimed he was misrepresented, albeit understandably coyly [2]. "Yes" is an uncritical answer.
From the article: "The top 1 percent on average already pay roughly a third of their incomes to the federal government, according to a Treasury Department analysis that takes into account the entire menu of taxes — including income tax, payroll taxes that fund Medicare and Social Security, estate and gift taxes, excise and custom duties as well as investors’ share of corporate taxes."
If my understanding of the term is correct, NPMaxwell's comparison to a helicopter drop is a poor one. However, not only is it an established term of art, but he/she provided a reference for background. The glibness of your response is entirely unwarranted.
Maybe the DNS ANY or reverse DNS datasets on scans.io? (the former, I presume, ultimately covering more domain names but containing more extraneous information)
