anything over free seems like a lot to pay for something that looks so limited.
pay $1 $2 do who or what?
what would I do if unable to do challenge? (don't have facebook.)
only 30 cards? surely you could have come up with more than that. (or are you planning on having card sets as in store purchases?)
some of the display photos are redundant and after looking at them I still have no idea what kind of experience I might expect to get out of using the app.
I think this is a good illustration of the value of process-based goals over outcome-based goals. The things under control, you completed. Those not under your control you did not. Sounds pretty cool to me.
Seems to me like they are trying to get libgen into the spotlight so it might be shutdown. Remember library.nu?
"If you want to steal the text, it's pretty easy to find an illegal copy, but you can get a nice illegal copy from LibGen. There's little risk in stealing stuff off the internet,"
I was excited to learn about a new Android release but all I got was a transfer to the KitKat candybar site at the bottom and a manipulative "See if you have won!!! aka go buy some kitkats" at the top.
" TrackMeNot runs in Firefox as a low-priority background process that periodically issues randomized search-queries to popular search engines, e.g., AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and Bing. It hides users' actual search trails in a cloud of 'ghost' queries, significantly increasing the difficulty of aggregating such data into accurate or identifying user profiles. To better simulate user behavior TrackMeNot uses a dynamic query mechanism to 'evolve' each client (uniquely) over time, parsing the results of its searches for 'logical' future query terms with which to replace those already used."
more of this : "But the last thing it will do is intimidate or deter us in any way from doing our job as journalists. Quite the contrary: it will only embolden us more to continue to report aggressively."
less of this: "ohh noo.. Should I write my opinion on the internet? What if the NSA is watching????! Will I be put on the...the. the list???"
"On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order that she give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled... NAACP organizers believed that Parks was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws though eventually her case became bogged down in the state courts.Parks' act of defiance and the Montgomery Bus Boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil Rights Movement. She became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation. "
I don't get it. Why doesn't someone just speak out on principle. Out of everyone who "can't" speak I would expect at least one to come out and do it even though it might get them into "trouble."
There really isn't much to see here. After reading I thought I had missed something, perhaps one of those "page 1 of 30" things at the bottom. But to get the "full story" I'm told to buy some magazine or whatever. So much for releasing information in the public's interest. It's time to Jason Bourne this thing and make some MONEY off of it!
Yea it's a shame that Snowden risked so much just so that a newspaper could rewrite the same story 50 times. We could use more leaks and less grandstanding and posturing.
Doesn't the same thing happen in the US? Didn't At&t just announce a new (opt out) privacy policy?
- program one "External marketing & analytics reports" - ..."for example, we might provide reports to retailers about the number of wireless devices in or near their store locations by time of day and day of week, together with the device users' collective information like ages and gender."
- program two "relevant advertising including wireless location characteristics" - "we're currently creating a new 'wireless location characteristic' that will help us use local geography as a factor in delivering ads. location characteristics are types of locations - like 'movie theaters. people who live in a particular geographic area might appear to be very interested in movies, thanks to collective information that shows wireless devices from that area are often located in the vicinity of movie theaters."
you know what would be extremely helpful? If a reading list was put together concerning how citizens could become better at vigilance, information gathering, investigative journalism, etc. By complaining I feel like I am a spectator in matters not under my control. By learning and applying new knowledge I feel as if I am actively protecting myself and my ideals.
So where would I start? Ethics? Psychology? Investigative journalism?
