People should be paid for having their information disclosed and agree with whom it is disclosed exactly.
Such a legislation is in as big a denial of reality as the copyright folks are.
Information cannot be contained by mere legislation. The old saying, "information wants to be free", is more or less true. Collecting and Copying information costs so little, and it can be done so casually. Even if there was draconian legislation with totalitarian general writs, what you are trying to stop wouldn't be stopped.
When I look at results from people who were NOT trying to test my pet theory, who were collecting the data for an unrelated reason, I can both find surprising facts I wasn't looking for and have a degree of confidence that the experiment and data weren't subconsciously (or conciously) biased
Except now you are dredging the data and no matter what, 5% of pet theories are confirmed within a few standard deviations in such a case,
If it is easily accepted that your food is made out of plastic, and that this false claim hurts your business, then it is your own fault for making something so indistinguishable from plastic.
Meanwhile many of the candies on the convenience store shelves are really made out of sand. Really. Nobody gives a shit. The claim doesnt hurt the business because they taste good, not like sand at all.
We wont get started on the claim that Taco Bell's taco meat is really saw dust. I believe the official corporate stance on the matter was something like "No, it is only 70% saw dust!"
This is Intel so we cant just assume the VRM's are on the motherboard. Intel has in some cases put VRM's under the cpu's lid since at least Haswell. In such a case, ramping up fan speeds could easily help.
Honestly I think being VRM-limited is hilarious regardless of where they are. Only overclockers are supposed to hit that wall.
The warning isn't fucking unobtrusive, that's the problem.
Nor have all of Googles "notices" been honest/
When I get poor bandwidth from Googles YouTube, Google always throws up a notice that my ISP is throttling the connection, when actually no Google my ISP isnt doing that and it is easy to find the cause of the problem: a major backbone is fubar at the moment.
Now call me silly but I tend to think that a major backbone being down is not cause for claiming that my ISP is throttling the connection, that IN FACT it is FUCKING EVIL to do what Google is doing.
What concerns me arent the attacks where the attackers binary is already running on my machine. What concerns me are the attacks that can be performed via "drive-by."
When you push to impose via totalitarian means a lifestyle on others, you ARE fucking evil. THAT is why environmentalists are considered evil. Its because by their actions, they are.
This isnt a dispute over the usefulness of a good clean environment... its a dispute over liberty. Some people value it. Environmentalists dont.
Meanwhile scientists have gotten a nice foothold into quantum computing. That shits coming. First it will be deep pockets that get it. They may not let anyone else ever get it.
NetBSD would never include systemd because its never necessary. It is not solving a problem that otherwise went unsolved. Meanwhile it creates problems that otherwise wouldnt exist.
I dont know, I have had all manner of plastic cards both credit and debit for 35+ years, and only once have I ever had a fee due to a late payment, and that was because I mailed a check that apparently never arrived.
Anyways, the banks would want you to go full digital because it saves them money. This story is basically about a bank closing up a bunch of branches. They easily removed millions of dollars in payroll in the process. Most branches absolutely are not profitable individually. It is only collectively that the institution makes money off branches. As more people go digital, the value to the institution that is added by most branches likely drops.
The fees from things like "insufficient funds" that people pay... those people are idiots. You cant save them. They are bad with money. Full stop.
I raise issue with calling it a "double-blind study" since clearly those that got meth instead of sugar figured it out on the first dose. There are some thing you cant play make believe about. You may be able to trick someone into thinking they got it when they didnt, but there is no way to do the opposite.
I binge watched the first season on.... umm.... a way of doing so... and all in all Discovery is a passable show, but only if you can successfully think of it as Not Star Trek.
If you wanted it to be a great show along the lines of ST:TOS and ST:TNG then you didnt get what you wanted. Its not even close. It is closer to ST:DSN The progressivism portrayed is neither edgy nor relevant to the times. The show isnt making any statements. It is just a generic sci-fi soap opera, and by soap opera I mean it. Every show is intimately connected to the previous and the next.
Honestly the sci-fi soap opera thing began with Babylon 5 (at least the first GOOD one), and sometimes its done well and sometimes its done poorly. The thing with those is its too early to say based on a single season. Discovery is passable as a generic sci-fi soap opera.
..and before someone says that I would think that no progressivism would be relevant today... bullshit. How about tackling privacy rights a couple times.
This part irritates me far more than any conventional bundling they may be doing. It basically says that, if you want to build an alternative smartphone platform, you have to be both phone manufacturer and OS developer.
You can start work on the OS right now. You dont need to be a manufacturer. This statement of yours makes no sense at all.
What Google is doing is wrong, but it doesnt have the effect that you are claiming. The effect is to lock manufacturers into Googles Services if they ship anything with Googles Services. The OS is actually irrelevant. Amazon for instance, could license out their services along the same lines, even though they also use Googles OS.
And once again the taxpaying consumers will be on the hook to pick up the pieces because the YUGE corporate cancers are "too big to fail".
The solution is to vote in people that wont bail out the bad decisions of others. The media wont like it and will do everything they can to stop it. They will label these people as evil. They will tell you not to vote for them, helpfully informing you that they have no chance to win and to please don't waste your vote.
If by some miracle you do elect someone like that in spite of the media opposition, the media will then work non-stop, even for years, to ruin that person that wont bail out the corporations. It also means the person was even more popular than the vote indicated, robbed of their mandate by the media.
I remember the Savings and Loans scandalfrom the 1980's, basically only 30 years ago and that bailout was for only $132 billion of taxpayer money. Even then, with that comparatively low sum, the claim was "too big to fail." Of note in that scandal was the Keating Five, 4x Democrats and 1x Republican.
The phrase "too big to fail" is marketing. It doesnt reflect reality in any way. Its a slogan. Even when the media allows someone to talk negatively about the idea on their feed, they are still spreading the slogan.
I'm here to offer up the idea that maybe we should all start reiterating it as "too big not to fail" whenever someone says it, for the rest of our lives. Its too important a thing. The slogan needs to be challenged, forever.
That is why shashdot doesnt support utf-8. We dont want to see your ascii art, or your smiley faces, or all the other ways that you are just a script kiddie.

The genie was never in the bottle.
California problems are not representative.
The rest of the country wouldnt allow that.
When was the last time you bought groceries without carrying any form of government ID? This used to be common.
I have never needed I.D. to buy groceries... and cannot imagine ever needing I.D. to buy groceries.

Doent pass the smell test.
Hackers reached the point whee they could throw switches... but apparently didn't throw any switches. Bullshit.

Pretty sure I've known him as Christopher Pike at least since ST:TNG.
Bakula should never play the role of a leader. He is perfect for the characters that have to begrudgingly do things that they dont want to do.

I dont understand the desire for the "apple experience." Seems like a whole lot of downside for very little upside.
The actual economics will only confuse these nutcase lefties.
Whether or not he is underpaid depends on the particulars. He may still be grossly overpaid.
