Lots of content is in a standard "tv" format of 640x480, DVD standard is 720x480 (576 pal) while the high end content commonly available is only HD at 1920 x 1080. 4k is 3840x2160, if you can even find 4k versions of the content you want to consume. To top this off, far to much content is compressed heavily at this resolution to lower the bandwidth, defeating the point of more pixels. All 8k is going to do is make the compression artifacts from all content even more crisp and clear. I've long wondered why people even like the newer digital formats as I would personally much rather watch content blurred out evenly, like with an old crt, than watch HD, doubly so on 4k+ displays, and see the crisp digital noise concentrated around anything of fine detail or high contrast.
Fixing your credit in the future sure is easy! Simply rip out both eyes and replace them, use a crispr variant to change enough genetic markers, then cut off all the skin on your fingers and buy new skin. Fill out all 17 forms in triplicate and visit both state and federal offices to recertify. That should hold you for at least a few weeks till they the data gets stolen again.

Broadcasting radio signals such as we are currently doing is a great way to test for intelligent life within the light bubble it creates, as a bonus the affected volume is increasing as a cube of the time passed. Also, if alien life behaves anything like earth life, and they somehow manage to get here, we will all likely get to go off planet - probably via some high powered energy beam weapon.
Not that all news institutions are equal, but all of them that are funded or owned by large corporations have the corporations interests in mind, not objective and honest reporting - even to the base audience they cater too.
We won't see a fully self contained humanoid robot able to pilot a vehicle in the same way humans do (stereo cameras, dual 6 axis gyro/accelerometer, and tactile feedback, for another 50+ years at least. Maybe even 80+. In reality, if I had all those sensor systems, radar, lidar, cameras, etc and simply supplied the 'brain' AI aspect, I could do far far better than today's and tomorrow's AI.
I currently own iPhone 3G,4,4s,5,5s,5c,6,SE,6s+,ipod4,ipod5,ipod6,ipad2,ipadair2 , have several of some of these models, and have updated iOS many times across all of them. In general each update slows down the device, eventually making it unusable. It's terrible on many models, probably the worst was updating the ipad2 to iOS 9 - basically it completely trashed it with no way to reasonably fix it. Op is correct in that it adds all kinds of unnecessary features and the iOS runs applications, many of which are no longer optimized well, much slower. My advice is to update the iOS only 1 version after buying a new idevice, or keep the same version if used or older but new and keep updating to the latest *.x.x version, stop when the iOS goes up a whole version.
Can't walk into half the companies in America that have valuable IP with a cellphone, but what the hell lets just have personal cellphones in national security meetings. Let's hope they couldn't access the microphone or they could easily have picked up half the conversations on his secure phone as well as any interpersonal communications, and if they had gps data as well could track his every move. It's pretty likely we will never be told who hacked it, or how extensive it was.
So when they turn on the microphone they somehow automagically can't hear at least his half of the conversations on the hardened phone, or all sides of in person meetings? I mean WTF they are just now banning personal phones in the west wing??!? Explain to me how he isn't a moron when you can't walk into half the companies in the US with one, but what the hell, why not have them in national security meetings.
I'm honestly torn between a corporations invasion of personal privacy on one hand, and the anger from the NSA that it identifies thier hacking tools as malware and helps remove thier backdoors. You can't really win as anti virus software is never good and you can be certain no one really has your best interests in mind.
Math is mostly based around assumed axioms and the possibilities that you can directly derive from them, there is absolute proof as it is almost tautology.
Sciences require the experimental method and you are never sure of anything, just that the data fits the theories and for bonus points the theories make new predictions that when new data is gathered from measuring those predictions it also fits. Typically Nobel prizes in science are given for a few fields when someone comes up with the latter and the new predictions fit theory in some way that significantly advances the field and new work can then be built off of it.
Applied sciences, like technology and engineering don't typically create theory but simply apply the theory in a practical way that allows for the sciences to be turned into applications and products.
You can't offer too many Nobel prize catagories or it would be overwhelming, but at the same time just because a Nobel prize isn't offered for that type of activity it does not mean it is a 'lesser' pursuit nor does it mean its equivalent to 'turning a crank'
Yes, it automatically uploads nudes to the 'appropriate' website. Yes, it also works on kids. Don't worry though, grandma won't see them unless she is into the wierd stuff. This is after all an internet ready device.
There is no such thing as a 'free market' without heavy regulation. The natural state of capitalism is not healthy competition but instead they will divide up customers and create monopolies. Why the hell should a company willingly get less money when they can collude and take in triple profits? The only possible reason is they cannot because the government regulates fair treatment. We really need both net neutrality and competition both, neither one without the other is best, losing either makes things so much worse.
Your social security number should really be viewed as a unique user name and not for purposes of authentication. You could then have one or more passwords for authentication purposes. Say one for taxes, one for mecdical, one for credit - you could change your password easily in the case of a data breach and it's less important if your user name only is leaked.
Next astroturfing campaign to feign overwhelming opposition to an extremely popular idea - use an algorithm to generate the complaint, copy and paste is too easy to spot.
Who the hell would be against net neutrality except a few straggling brainwashed fools who would have a different opinion if they only knew what was real? Yes sign me up for vastly increased monthly payments, squish small businesses and startups, micro payments on everything net related, separate fees to access different sites, suppress competing services and views not held by big ISPs, and hell yes please make internet access whitelist sites only for my own protection and those of DRM!!1!!!1!
Not only that but they then go ahead and compare cherry picked perfect driving conditions that self driving cars operate under to freezing rain pileups and heavy traffic jams human drivers deal with and declare that they are safer.
Reminds me of the time 'a couple of rogue engineers for the whole VW emissions fiasco. I think handsome bonuses are in the works due to management for uncovering this subterfuge.
With the loss of net neutrality we are looking at a whitelist only to select from, provided you have paid the additional fees to even access approved sites. Didn't pay the $17.50/month for news aggregate sites? Well then no slashdot for you. Goodbye small business and other small sites, hello renting a template you just fill out and await approval before being charged a crap ton to be whitelisted. Don't like this model? Tough because not only will your opposing views be denied any public online forum, it will be illegal to compete against the monopoly in your area.
Quite frankly I think if musk shipped them all off world simultaneously it would be better for the people. Also, provided they actually survive the landing, the burocrats would quickly find they need to do meaningful work efficiently and quickly or they would die - they couldn't just do nothing and claim it was work. I see this as an all around win.

You are failing to not apply logic.

You forgot to add hearing, 6-axis gyro/accelerometer, and tactile feedback. It's quite hard to drive without any one of those.

Well when they don't have the password they will get kicked off. Social security numbers shouldn't be used like an hbo go account.

Simply have a story every few weeks on what data remaining hasn't been stolen. I'm guessing at this point it's the null set.
