No actually I did. What you don't grasp is I don't trust vendors who do land grabs for data. You can trust Nest, I won't any longer. And the features that I like about Nest are actually available through my browser, which isn't chrome and that's what I'll use until I rip this shit out of my life. That means I can go through my browser and click away... or adjust my temps away from home and I'm not getting my location tracked.. That's how the app worked before and that's why I previously agreed to install it.
As for your points on Android settings, hello not everybody has M or N Android, and given my phone manufacturer and carriers support for a device and operating systems I probably won't have it anytime soon. Now if I Root my phone... yada yada yada, custom rom yada yada. Just because I've bought into a technology platform doesn't mean that I explicitly grant or want people/institutions to surreptitiously track my activities in the name of "innovation." Fuck that and yes I uninstalled the app rather than accepting their "update."
Granting a coarse-grained permission to an app means at any time your in-app setting can be overruled by the developer when they choose to do so. You may have that setting today but there's no guarantee it'll be there tomorrow. If that means I need to throw the $800 smart phone away then it may come to that. I'm getting to the point with recent news stories to think that's not such a bad idea.
I don't give a fuck about what nest settings are, that's not my point. You can't install it now without accepting at the OS level that it accesses your location. So in that case I removed the app. I no long trust Nest. It's a data land grab. I want control from Android not the fucking app. As I said I'm ripping their shit out of my house. It hasn't saved me much if anything. I don't want tech in my home that tracks anything I do under a ToS regardless of how nifty it is. Fuck Nest.
Nope, On Android I can't at least yet natively disable location services, Nest's new app requires it. It was a nice to have but it's now removed. Actually I'm probably now going to rip the fucking things off the wall and resell them on Craigslist. They're not saving me much of anything.
Twitter at least can have it's location services disabled and I'm sorry If I sound a bit harsh but I want more coarse grained control from my mobile operating systems. It shouldn't be app by app If I don't want you tracking my location, my rectal temperature or anything I can disable it. Sure when using a Nav App I want to have real time location tracking but that's it. Now when I go to a restaurant I get fucking popup from Google saying "hey you're at Ciao Bella here's ratings" fuck that.
I want to be able to send/receive calls, access apps on the Internet that's the basics anything should be explicitly and optionally controllable by me, the guy who bought the retarded device in the first place.
I worked at a start up that was actually *close* to profitability. One Friday the board had a meeting to raise what was assumed to be the last round of funding before going public. The funds would be just to support operations until the IPO. Anyway, the company was already carved up so the board agreed to dillute the class A holders, the ones who started the whole thing. They forgot that one of those holders still had more interest in the company, he owned all the office furniture. So over the weekend he came in with movers and took all of the desks, chairs and filing cabinets. Of course they left all the contents, computers, books etc on the floor. It was a surreal Monday. I had 10 developers quit on me that day..
It's funny that these start-ups don't understand that eventually the money dries up from VCs. You can only carve up a company so many times and dilute previous investors so much until you become worthless. It amazes me that the concept of a path to profitability completely misses some of these start-ups and usually the VCs are the ones pushing that from the beginning or are we talking Angel investors here?
No competition means no choice and higher prices. If you have two or three possible broadband providers that can service your business or home, consolidating 3 or 2 into 1 doesn't improve competitiveness or deliver better service; it just drives up your costs for crappy service. TWC isn't starving, neither is Charter so why do this other than to grease pockets of merger and acquisition lawyers and gouge consumers?
Buy an intelligent thermostat they said, it'll save money and make you more comfortable they said. Now they want to track when I'm anywhere "to help determine if I'm away."
Now they want to analyze my tweets and use my location data to see where I am?!?!?
Get the fuck out of my life. I do not want to be a statistic, I do not want to be a data point. Now get off my lawn.
IBM is what they're targeting. It's a laundry list of tech improvements Linux on the Mainframe that are, let's face it Mainframe/IBM specific.
JIT for OpenJDK, where the project will work on adding JIT support to the z port of OpenJDK.
Docker support to enhance Docker for highly available virtualized systems and mainframe computing environments.
Blockchain support that will focus on performance and improvements to the Hyperledger Project, and will target Linux on the mainframe.
Assessment and certification of Linux monitoring tools.
Acceptances of the anomaly detection engine for Linux logs.
no but they make billions every quarter and that means solar companies can be bought on the cheap. The big reason they probably haven't already done it is because of profit margins. They are heavily involved in the chemistry of things like polymer films for batteries.
Exxon, BP, Shell et. al. will be more than happy to supply whatever energy they can at a substantial markup. The law of supply and demand overrides flakey global climate studies that will never reach an agreement to truly reduce GHG emissions not just say you're going to reduce them. Besides the current middle eastern political climate says drill baby drill making all renewable energy damn expensive.
In the meantime the climate scientists can still work on the models, the funding grants and burning all that computer time, flying to conferences and generally trying to suppress any question of their little world.

yes they do. it's all about control and has nothing to do with digital currency.
They should just go grab resources from WiPro or any of the other H1-B farms out there.

move to higher ground. If countries like Bangladesh have taught us anything it's that living close to sea level isn't a good thing.
