I think they just found out that "cybersecurity insurance" is a joke: one missing patch or badly configured machine and your insurer will deny you. Remember, these are that same folks that manage medical insurance - you sure you want a bunch of "claim denied" messages when your IT systems go t**s up?
I'm guessing they are being denied due to "preexisting conditions" Just like health insurance./s
Facial recognition is one thing. There are also some subtle actions tracking recognition cab do, like gait, height, backtracking... You're never invisible, never untrackable.
Wow, I had NO IDEA that when I typed in an address for a destination that Maps was going to send me to an alternate business to buy things! Who knew that typing 45 John Glenn Drive, Concord, CA wouldn't send me to the Crowne Plaza in Concord but instead I'd be sent to the Hilton at 1970 Diamond Blvd!
Could be worse, it could have given you instructions that killed you./s
This is definitely a real issue, but it doesn't mention the most important part - the part that all the big mapping companies already know.
If you want people to contribute their data (and time) en masse, you have to give them a high-quality mobile experience.
If Open Street Map were as easy to use as Google Maps is on mobile, people would try it. And then OSM would get their traffic/new road data organically. But until OSS developers start prioritizing the average user's experience, they will simply never get to where they can compete with Google, Waze, Apple, et al.
I have used OSM on my tablets that didn't have any cellular support, bur did have GPS.
I think it's better than a GPS only device like a Garmin or Tom Tom.
Not as good as google maps, but much less "creepy."
C) a job that is really a job and not just some posting to make it seem there is a job
I think there was a post earlier this week I read, about a place wondering why nobody was applying for a job requiring a Masters in Social Work for $14-16 an hour while the local minimum wage was $17 an hour.

There os such a thing as a Civil Subpoena
wouldn't it make sense to subpoena Fiat Crysler's records?
IANAL
Who knows what FC knew and covered up?
Put the companies executives in a dome that is over their production facilities. /s
I'm sure they'll figure it out quickly.
Risk is one thing nothing being "safe" is another.
I guess I'll have to go back to a rotary landline and a TTY or a vt100. /s?

Cut Europe off from the Internet.
THIS is what they really want.
$15 a Minute phone calls to Italy and only Government approved newspapers.
Galileo for navigation and no GPS.
Upload filters will never work. Make the countries interested in filtering responsible for filtering, not non-eu websites.
It's best to not cut them off, but to remove any .eu sites from web search results, then see what happens.
The Internet generally knows how to route around problems.
for a slashdot poll.
It's not as bad a question as some have been lately. Not as good either. And there does need to be a CowboyNeal!!! option.
is figuring out how to make the replacement lungs only last 1 year, so the patients have to pay over and over.
That would be more fair.
And, yes, there have been replacements for plastic bags for decades.
I'm guessing that 25K rupees is way more than 1/2 of the income of many people who live in Mumbai.
are either too high end or too low end.
I have never seen a tablet in a restaurant, diner, dive, or food truck.
for Police and Security agencies.
The next logical step is to create an AI that finds the flaws and repairs them.
I guess after all ports are removed, the next idea would be to remove the leading cause of repairs, if there is no screen, it won't crack... /s
What is the impact on global warming? /s
will be companies moving to states with little or no sales tax.
Anyone looking for a new idea to make money should start working on sales tax software for small businesses.
always trying to monetize every part of the pig, including the snout.
anything about court costs or legal fees in addition to the fine, which seems to be a slap on the wrist...
they build their stadiums pretty well.
It would be a shame if over exuberant fans caused another collapse of the seating areas.
Oh, and soccer is almost as boring as hockey to watch on television.

But in the US only the cool kids get stuff like that. The tech industry would never trial anything in backwards rural America.
How else will they be able to have their legal weed and Doritos delivered? /s

I used to (5-10 years ago) buy a lot of DVDa and Blu-Rays.
But I almost always bought them used. So no income for any movie/content companies. Oh well.
