No mention of TaxAct on this post; is their marketshare really that insignificant?

>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?

The Note9 added bluetooth to the S Pen (you can use it as a remote camera shutter now), and it charges inductively when it's inside the phone.

Often diplomats are spies that operate in a country under diplomatic cover; perhaps Cuba wanted to frustrate suspected spying?

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.

> I guess the only hope is the supreme court?

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.

Legally there is no such thing as 'guaranteed entry' to the US except for citizens. Even possessing a visa doesn't guarantee entry.

The head of the now-defunct Cyanogen Inc famously said “we’re putting a bullet through Google’s head.”

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.
