I don't agree with you, but with the GP. The issue is "default passwords". When you buy a new lock, you're not expected to set your keys to a new value. They come with certain security already which is not "default".
Why people buying these appliances would think differently?
TO be honest, I like the idea (and I'm a grown up man) of a minivan. I see the Sienna, and seems to have aggressive looks. But never as the SUVs.
I'd go for the minivan if they had more aggressive/sporty looks. As you said, it's the stigma it's for moms, and therefore, for some reason they look like cute cars rather than sporty cars. Make them look sporty like the new Siennas, and they will win some market back (unless people actually need AWD).
Furthermore, if you drive under the category of "bad" driver and you never have an accident, what does it tell you? What if you drive under the category of "good" driver and have more accidents than the regular "bad" driver?
This is certainly not a selling point, as they clearly only use this gimmick to grab your attention, and the charge you more in some way (i.e. they will charge you a fee for the device, then usage fee, etc, etc.).
Eventually to them there would be only drivers that have accidents and drive "aggressively", so they pay more, and those who were involved in accidents and pay more.
I still see people listening music, watching movies and playing games, now during take off and landing. I don't know where is the submitter flying.
And although the price is high, I see many people paying for it. They claim streaming services won't work, so I don't see any advantage unless people REAAAALLY need to see their facebook, update their status or tweet that they are flying.
This is a great point. If what you really want is to save on hardware, you can migrate the whole company to TinyCore. It's really cool, but I don't know if you want to go through the process of teaching everyone how to use it.
But hey, we have the whole company running on calculators!
Second this. It feels like the number race of PC's of years ago: "This one has more pixels", "This one more GHz", "This one more MBs". But nobody seem to care about more autonomy.
Did they bring in all the marketing guys from the 90s? I guess is what all those tech reviews with meaningless astroturfing performance tests have given us. "Hey this phone can decode and re encode 4k videos on the fly! while you play angry birds!" WHO CARES if it's going to get hot as hell and die in 1.5 hours?
One part is that they can go back and look for anything that may sound incriminating and use it. Like the quote: "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."
The other, is, how easy is to "plant" evidence that only they have access to?

The internet holds more knowledge than a single human ever could, but machines cannot do anything without direct, explicit directions - told to it by a human.
I'm sure not doing anything would still be way better than someone only checking facebook for a whole day. Which increases the score on the Robot side.
Not sure, but my first thought is: Have you seen the prices of land downtown? Then you'll figure out what's the first thing companies see on moving out of town. They get their own building at a cheaper price, and they gain in traffic (commute time), if they have/provide their own cafe, then also keep people near the office during lunch time (so they engage in conversations and probably creative talks, and reduce information leaks). Clearly there are more sides to the story.
In any case, if Google offers free food, how are the neighborhood restaurants going to compete against that? (If some local businesses are the issue)
I don't know if people receive background checks when they belong to "elite" airline miles programs. But many first class and other people in those programs for sure can go through the fast line.
The proportion of people who can actually afford to stay at university for a very very long time (either rich or living with parents) AND who actually desire to do such a thing is so small it's almost zero.
I thought the word to describe those individuals was "post-docs".;-)
Bad analogy also because bricks have a single shape. Now go ahead and give the builder many different shapes that they have to use in a particular order so the wall actually holds together in the best way. Then ask them to put those bricks in such a way that the end result is the one the customer required.
Or maybe, you can just ask your manager to provide you only one line of code you can use and you'd glue the many lines with semicolons. (I guess you can do anything you want with just NAND gates, but it may turn fairly unmanageable rather quickly).
Permanent Resident and Visa are two different things.
H-1B Visas are tied to a company, and legally you're bound to the company that got it for you. If they fire you, you have about 2 weeks to leave the country as the visa automatically expires. (Which seems in line with the proposed idea, just you'll have the visa not as long as you remain in the company, but rather in the state, however, another company can pick that visa up and renew it and you can move around).
Permanent residency is not actually a visa and it's not bound to a particular company.
I lived for 1.5 years in a place. Since I didn't originally know the length of my stay in that city, I contracted Sprint 4G instead of a wired network provider.
Turned out my connection was very spotty, so I had to tape the usb dongle to the window, use a USB cable extension and use a laptop to share the internet. I still had about 1Mbps, with 100ms+ latencies to Google. I streamed Netflix and hulu without much issues (unless it was heavy raining, or something happened at Sprint).
Some people keep thinking about the convenience of parking without plugging. I see it as the future possibility of charging while you're driving (Am I the only one thinking those could be used in some roads? Probably charge your car while in a traffic jam. And even reduce the anxiety that your battery is depleting while stuck in traffic).
Reading the summary, implies that people picked Blue because it was in the company logo. I wonder if the COMPANY picked blue because it's likely a color many people like, and therefore people use it in their passwords. As in "correlation is not causation".
Or you're telling me that Facebook just came up with blue because they had "intel" or "IBM" logos in front of them?
What? You mean you haven't gotten to a desktop computer with the password written on a post-it affixed to the monitor? I think you're among the lucky ones!

Time Warner can fuck you in the ass and all you can do is beg for lube
Hey, look at the bright side there's still the TW option. Comcast is planning to buy TW, and there won't be any begging for lube.

If it comes to worse, I guess you could also put the tin foil hat on your cellphone and ground the hat. If that helps.

For your stats... no, not every single country.

Hey, the last thing is touch, we should be migrating to touch!
Clearly, some ladies will find it awkward at first, when introducing your self to them, but hey... it's the new thing, waaaay better than words!
