>What confuses the hell out of me is that i always saw from childhood US executives are held accountable for their company's action. Any scandal and i would see the CEO step down.
You are confusing regular random CEOs who get hired to run a company with someone like Zuck who founded a company and is still closely tied to its identity. Remember the mess after Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple?
I haven't heard of a 'do not port' instruction, but you can call T-Mobile and add an additional password that will be required before customer service will service your account.
It's already been litigated, and there are multiple Supreme Court holdings that say that the government does not need reasonable suspicion to search you at the border.
HERE is nice because you can download complete countries to work offline. Google Maps only lets you select a rectangular area and limits it size to a much smaller area.
>And that's OK - if you're good with that. Now go and ask some women you know whether they have all that trust? Or minorities. Or activists. If you were a Muslim or Mexican in the US right now - do you suppose you'd be happy leaving an Uber app with "Always" location tracking permission on your phone past Jan 20th?
The NSA already has the ability to track cellphones, regardless of what Uber does with their app.
Fingerprint readers seem to solve that problem. Booting the phone requires the secure password, but after that a fingerprint will suffice until the phone is powered off or left locked for 24 hours.
Those boundaries are fairly irrelevant to the presidential election process. I believe only Maine assigns electors based on who wins a particular district versus who wins the overall statewide race.
>SARs only apply to suspicious activity. CTRs are what your bank has to file for every transaction over $10000.
For every currency transaction, not every transaction. (if you deposit a check for $50,000, that doesn't get reported unless the bank thinks something about the transaction is suspicious)
Are bitcoins classified as currency for the purposes of CTR reports?
I could be wrong, but it seems like none of those apps are really mass marketed to consumers (versus power users). The goal for Signal is to make it something that could gain mass adoption, and requiring users to install plugins in order to do simple things like attach photos would be a serious hinderance there. It's hard enough to convince non-techie friends to install another messenger as it is.
>. So if a product is intended to be consumed as 100% of your diet
Soylent isn't marketed as being intended to replace every meal anymore. I know some of their earlier press focused on the founder replacing all of his food with Soylent, but they've transitioned from that approach more recently.
I guess future viewers of Wall-E won't get the joke now. (for those who didn't see the film, the robot main character made the Mac startup chime when he finished charging)
