If a positive result [is] presented to the patient as an indication that they should have further tests then, the level of profit generated by the result can be maximized.
They have an important role completely abdicated by the few remaining (any?) independent news organizations: Discomforting the Comfortable without favor nor tact.
Look at Brazil right now: right-wing party couldn't win fairly, so turned to their propaganda arm to foment false unrest against the elected government, while totally covering up the abject corruption of those leading the impeachment. But the US isn't too far away from that, TBH, with four or five corporations controlling ~80% of all 'news' outlets.
Data analyst Ben Wellington is now on the Terrorist Watch List, is randomly stopped and frisked on a daily basis, and selected for state tax audits every quarter.
...drones will help tech giants like Amazon deliver packages, allow security companies to better monitor
the increasing horde of the desperate, hungry, jobless underclass that will still be scolded by CEOs and their lapdog politicians to stop being bums and pull themselves up with their own bootstraps instead of selfishly eating them.
Can't wait! We need to offload and distribute those Chinese shipping containers ASAP, now that more and more of us will have aaaallll day to buy stuff with our non-existent salaries.
Because more and more even supposedly legit news organizations are giving more and more control to the Facebook feed (so they can cut even more staff), thus the baskets being winnowed down to one. Dan Gillmor follows this slow-motion disaster fairly closely.
But more to the point: whether they're named Hearst, McClatchy, Murdoch, or Zuckerburg, billionaires cannot be trusted to tell the truth, the Whole truth, and Nothing but the truth because money.
Soon, instead of just blowing the Wrong Religion Brown People to bits, now we're also going to intentionally blind even more, just to make sure their families and tribes never stop hating us, thus ensuring permanent, profitable war.
It feels like as if a shit Electrician burned down your house thru sheer incompetence and their way of making up for it is providing you a new fire extinguisher.
Good: Dumbing-down the organs of state security that now just wipe their ass with the Constitution.
Bad: FedGov will just hire these goons by lucrative contract (with the understanding they themselves will be rewarded with an early retirement golden parachute) to assist the DOJ to yet again subvert the Rule of Law with more Parallel Construction tyranny.
It's telling that a 'benevolent billionaire' like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, or Mark Zuckerburg (as if) doesn't buy Elsevier, destroy all the locks, and re-configure it as totally open information store to benefit all of humanity.
The fact that none of them ever will belies all their lofty talk of 'there's more than just money' as just that: talk.
I assume Takata will do what Federal Pacific did when it was discovered their residential Stab-Lock circuit breakers were defective (and that they had willfully falsified test reports for years): declare bankruptcy and close up shop, leaving US consumers like me with circuit breakers that do not break (leading to house fires) and now 'safety devices' that can kill you with shrapnel.

If they got a chance at this pot of money, a certain pork-barrel-drunk University https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bio_and_Agro-Defense_Facility would probably locate it next to the damn student union salad bar.
"Robots gotta eat to." As they will be the only ones left with spending money.

Depending on their physique, I could see someone possibly using the shifter to push off with to climb out of a car, especially if it is low-slung.

I could have swore I read they were naming it 'Gear Knobs', which would have been perfect.

It can be used as a file manager, but I installed it to upload / download files to a PC via your account's web page.

One unbiased party passing along the information of another honest party.
