I want a browser to be fast, secure and protect my privacy. I don’t want it to tell me what I should watch or think. I may want Firefox for reasons different then the organization goals. I don’t appreciate getting stuff pushed on me.
I have found both political parties to be eqaualy stupid in understanding science. However I have found a particular trend. Liberals don’t believe science when they say something is safe. Conservatives don’t believe science when they say something is harmful. The problem is somethings are dangerous and some things are safe. And many of these arguments are not science they are merely thought exercises. X contains trace amounts of bad elements Y. Then people are at risk from over exposure to Y. Or X is purely safe because our body can tolate some amount of Y. But no own is doing the the research to see if the body can and how to tolerate that amount of Y.
California does have a tendency to get ahead of themselves. They seem to be the first to warn people about danger but the problem is they don’t do the full science and come with the warning after the science is over, so they have a lot of false starts. I think California wants to be progressive and say they are the first to protect people from danger while the rest of the world gets in trouble by taking time to study it. However often the benefits of things outweigh their danger. Especially if the danger isn’t fully proven. Yes we get companies trying to block and confuse the science and that practice should be stopped, but policies should wait for the science process to get to a consensus before making policy.
I really don’t like the idea of a studio having a streaming service, well a streaming services that only does its properties. I refuse to get CBS all access to watch STD, but I’ll get Hulu to watch The Orvil. Because with Hulu I can watch other shows from other networks as well. Out of all the shows I like to watch they are widely distributed by studios. I don’t want a monthly bill that only covers 1/10th of what I want to watch.
Probably - but probably more then just one person. Sometimes big companies think themselves bigger and more influential then they actually are, and forget how fragile their market lead is. If you wanted a Chromecast you may had checked amazon first, and you couldn't find it. So you went to Walmart.com and you did. Now you know Walmart.com has this stuff, and you may have looked at other stuff available as well.
If it was a case where Google took a hit in not selling chomecasts then Amazon would have more power. However people wanted the product, not the store.
That hasn't stopped people from doing dangerous and expensive things before. It really comes down to lack of real leadership. Ever since Nixon, the connection between the trust of the people and its leadership has eroded. Such grand initiatives to go to Mars, or further will bring up naysayers who are now concerned about the motivation. Bringing up problems that should take more focus.
If President is impeached the job goes to VP. Now if Pence is part of such collusion chances are he would get fired first, because Mueller is following a normal methodology for tracking down gang. Starting at the bottom giving some deals to the low level offenders and working their way up.
I have more faith that Pence will be working towards are national interests vs Trump who is out for Trump. I much rather be displeased about the choice the President Made, vs Scared of the choice the President had made.
I think it may be more due to the ability to make huge amount of this stuff so it is more affordable. A glass of wine made the traditional way (with the quality of a cheap $10 wine) adjusted for inflation would probably be $225 a bottle. Where with mass production we can make a better quality $25 bottle of wine. So today a bottle of wine isn't a trade-off of a week worth of groceries.
There is some real differences. If false information gets put out from these sources, which will tend to happen due to the financial pressure to be first to push out the news, they will retract the information publicly, and if it was fake then the journalist behind it, (many who were considered big names) can get fired.
If you check Fox News website legal link, and compared to the other sites legal link. They are an "Entertainment Company" Not a news organization. They use this to push false and misleading information, or whatever they think they can get away with.
Having watched Fox News I found for the most part the information isn't fake, however it is bias in its tone. "Liberals Protest Miss Universe Pageant" vs. "group name Protest Miss Universe Pageant". Because they want to keep the tone that people with left leaning tendencies are all grouped together in one group, when compared with all of them together you find a crazy set of people with hypercritical views. While people (and this can be said about right leaning individuals as well) are more complicated and often more sane then what the predominate party line has stated. A Gun carrying pro-lifer who attends church every Sunday, can still be left leaning, because they may feel strongly about many of the other issue, they may want stronger government over site in businesses, against the death penalty (As part of their pro-life stance), insurances that citizens are treated fairly across genders and races.
In general keep your stuff as longs as possible... 1. If you were to buy a new car, keep it until you drive it to the ground. Getting a used car is just offsetting someone else who is not fully utilizing their new car. 2. There isn't point in getting greener appliances every year, but when it is time, get the best one in terms of energy efficiency and good reliability. 3. Depending on how you use your laptop. The replaceable batteries are often not as efficient as the glued in ones. So you may be tossing out over the normal lifetime of the laptop more mass of bad batteries then of an iPad (which has more recyclable glass and metal) 4. Same argument as 3 5. With cloud services, you also have less disposable equipment that need upgrading or replacing, as the cloud will handle much of the data and you have a dumb terminal that can last you for years.
For those who choose not to waste 1k on a phone, are actually normally happy with the low end phones, being that a low end phone has 90% of the features of a high end one and costs 1/5 the price. Most of the price on the High End phone are style and build quality, their may be some gimmick feature. But if people want style, they are willing to pay for it, if they want practical then they want to pay a lot less. The Essential phone was to be the Buick of phones. But while their may be some people who want a mid range phone, most people will be happy with top of the line, or practical does what it needs to do.
Well I was going to code it to figure out when the player plays which slots they have more of a miss on, So to when there was a tie, it would pick something that the person may have a better memory with.
It is almost like, we Slashdot posters, actually don't know what people want in a phone. And all the stuff that we do want seems to come with a trade-off that most people do not want to deal with.
Technically and ethically the Essential phone is a fine phone... However I don't think they understand the Cell phone market. Because for a few hundred dollars less, you can get a good budget phone, or a few hundred dollars more you can get a premium phone.
Cell phones are not like cars. Where there is a need for a large range of different models. Even the expensive iPhone X at over $1k wouldn't be a painful expense to most middle class people, unlike getting a top end luxury or sports car, where such payments for a middle class person may mean the difference between home mortgage or having the car. So with cell phones a good portion of people can afford to get arguably "the best" phone that money can buy. For those who do not want the best, they are actually happy getting a lower end model. Cars have a middle ground which is popular because they are so much more expensive, that if you are middle class you may want more then a budget car, but not as much as a high end car, because there is variances in your budget to purchase more then the minimum.
Yes it was, because we and the ISP really didn't know what lines to draw. Most ISP stayed open just because they didn't know what the legal standing would be if they tried to throttle a site. And for the most part sites they thought about throttling made some private deals before it hit the legal system. Back before Net Neutrality I was afraid to say to my ISP who also offered phone service, that I was using a VOIP phone in fear that I would be on some watch list as troublesome customer.
Reversing Net Neutrality will only open the door to a bunch of government regulations, as ISP find ways to abuse their new found rights, smaller laws will be in place to regulate each one to prevent going too far.
For the GOP who hates government regulations, Canceling one simple one, will only open up thousands of smaller complex ones.
I am less concerned about the likes of Amazon or even Netflix. But the new "disruptive" internet companies that come out, like Amazon or Netflix was decade(s) ago.
A small company out of nowhere makes a product that people likes, and soon gets popular, its popularity is starting to make a noticeable blip on the ISP bandwidth. So the ISP will throttle it down, unless it pays them. Or worse will keep them throttled down because it is in competition of its parents companies services. While gaining popularity such company may not have the capital to pay off the ISP, thus not keeping up with performance it will die off, because it is too slow.
Also we find a lot content supplier annoyed at sites such as YouTube for demonetizing their content at a whim, or because Google doesn't like what they have said. So they may switch to an other content supplier, who may not have the tout to pay for bandwidth.
Finally for me as a consumer. If the ISP sells me a 100mbs connection, I wan't 100mbs no matter where I connect to. Because I may want this 100mbs to VPN to my work who isn't in the media business, I don't want a 10mbs connection because my work isn't a premium connection. So I am getting scammed from what is advertised. If you are ending Net Neutrality, the ISP speeds advertised should be the speed of their slowest throttled down speed. So if Amazon is throttled down to 14.4kbs while other sites are at 1gbs they will need to sell their product advertised at 14.4kbs.
Back in high school in my computer programming class, we were taught arrays, to do this we made the game of memory where we had 16 cards with 8 matching values, which were randomized. Then we were to pick 2 cards if we got a match we would had got a point. Then the computer picked two cards. Normally most of the students just had the computer pick randomly. I felt ambitious as programming was my thing that made me the Alpha geek back then. So I made it keep track of the cards when it found them and learned from its mistakes, thus being a difficult game to play.
This isn't AI, but it seems to fit definition A. as would most video games of any challenge. Also most business intelligence apps that find patterns would classify.
In order to manage in today's society, a smart phone is a good investment, IT can replace a TV, Computer, and a LAN-Line in one square glass box. Communication is an important aspect for survival. Especially when in poverty conditions keeping contacts with your friends and relatives is very important, as they will be able to help you out. Also you can use this device for job hunting, and communication between potential employers. If the point of welfare is just raw survival then it will be nearly impossible for anyone to get out of it, because they will never save enough or be strong enough to get out. Do they need the iPhone X or a Google Pixel 2? No, but they can get a used iPhone or a used Galaxy that is still fairly recent for a lot less. Or they could get one of the cheaper Android phones new. So they may still look like the normal one of us with a fancy phone, but they are suffering, however without it, they may be near dead. As most people now have a phone, the culture and the infrastructure of the area is now built around people having wireless access, so payphones, and other support services may not be available anymore.
Having took training classes to be foster parents. They covered that food security is a big issues. Foster Kids may horde food, even at a risk of it spoiling and being unhealthy to eat, because their living conditions caused them to have food security issues. The main suggestion is to have an open fridge polity where kids can get food whenever they want, even if it seems a bit odd. Where most families tend to have some sort of scheduled eating times and portion management, but for these kids their idea of normal is so out of wack, that normal family social graces will need to be set aside just for basic trust that their survival needs are in place.

If it is such a non-issue, why would they bother reversing such a law? And why do big ISP put money into bribing (lobbying) for such a change?
