Order from Wal-Mart, or Whole-Amazon Foods, and have an autonomous vehicle deliver my groceries to me.
I don't even trust myself when I'm driving, I constantly monitor all the traffic around me for the impending stupidity of drunk/unlicensed/douche drivers.
There should be controls for everything an app can access built into all these portable computers. You should be able to lock out application access to location/bluetooth/wifi/contacts...
Otherwise, back to a flip phone. They're fine for texting and making/receiving phone calls. Not so good for youtube or facebook, and that's a good thing.
For between $20-$50 up front, plus maybe a $20-$50 tuner, you can get several channels at no additional cost!
I get about 25 channels with my crummy $10 antenna in a window plugged into my television. If I paid for an rooftop antenna, I could probably get about 40 channels.
Beware gentle readers, some television companies don't include a built-in tuner with their televisions anymore.
Chatbot: "Hi, there are a lot of openings in our SJW class track."
Student: "I only need the one required course so I can graduate."
Chatbot: "Are you sure you don't want a feminist history class?"
Student: "I only need the one required course so I can graduate."
Chatbot:"That course has no openings for the next 10 years from now, since it's required to graduate. Are you sure you don't want a class in Post Modernist Deconstructionism and it's role in Socialist Governments?"
How any system, internal or external, has access to the systems where "valuable" information/data/media content exists without multiple levels of authentication, encryption and access controls seems to be something HBO shareholders should be seriously investigating.
If it's a mandatory meeting, I'd attend and unless I had another confirmed and accepted job offer elsewhere, I'd keep out of any "discussion" with regards to this topic.
Whenever you're asked for "open and honest" discussion, it's like when someone asks if you're stopped beating your children, a no-win scenario.
All this seems to be a complete distraction from what a job is supposed to be. Somewhere you go to work and make money.
Slashdot Mirror
Offering good food, pleasant service and a nice atmosphere at a reasonable price.
If I have to go to any of these restaurants (probably in a group where I have no input) I wouldn't be paying in anything other than cash.
If they're data mining they're probably not bothering to fix the things that are really wrong...
If you could also cut the cord on Cable Internet. Maybe that would get some attention from the cable companies...
There don't seem to be any choices other than surfing at the library or on your phone or connected tablet.
DNA Analysis. Facebook and Me.
Then they can do even deeper linking of people. Maybe you can find out who your daddy really is and collect some back child support.
Have AT&T lobby the FCC to define 1.5Mb/s as High Speed Internet. Like they did to change the definition of high speef from 25 to 10 Mb/s.
Once enough money has changed hands, everyone will be satisfied.
Except of course the people who have to download everything they want to watch or access with a day or so wait for the download to complete.

For google play to get a whole lot more serious about application security checks before allowing them to become available.
The play store should be held (financially/legally) responsible when issues like this occur.
Better yet. Google should present us with an App that verifies if any of them are currently on our devices and offer to remove them.
Simply pulling from the store amounts to little more than sweeping the problem under the rug.
Don't forget the refund if they're non-free apps.
before the hordes of class action lawyers descend like a plague on them.
Maybe people will become more educated. A large screen panel should be more like a monitor, and less like an internet connected media device.
I wonder if the solution Samsung will come up with is a thumb drive with a new system image.
Because if the existing devices are truly bricked, that's about the only way (short of device replacement) that is going to solve this.
To instead ask,
Are you NOT clinically depressed, and assume everyone else is?
An upgrade for my 2 year old phone to Android N,
O will never be available for any of the 6 or so android devices I currently own. So there's that.
DROP TABLE location;
The real money will be Trimbots, who's purpose is to cover up all the mistakes of all the other constructionbots.
And you can get a DVR experience from Tivo that works well with Antenna.
Or you can buy a SiliconDust box (for about $90) that works with an antenna. The 2 tuner HDHomeRun Connect for example.
You can even build a backend system to record OTA television.

You should start talking with people who don't speak gibberish.
Yeah, but Mumbai is on the phone with us again...
I won't have to wait a couple months after the movie is released to download a good quality rip for free.
There are movies I need to go to the theater to see, there seem to be less of them every year though.

In whether they had insurance for cyber attacks, and if they were covered.
A chunk of $300 Million would buy a lot of IT talent, for the next time...
The Microsoft Special Olympics.
Latency?
Ping times to the Arctic would be bad.
Fiber to the location would be quite expensive. Permafrost isn't the most stable land to build on.
And where are they going to find people to work there?
Or lose them.

The airlines don't even have to bother with human agents.
AI scripts can answer all your texts, and if they can't answer you, I'm pretty sure the texts will disappear.
I don't think I've ever heard anyone under the age of 70 say "Gee I wish my Internet was slower"
10MB down is pretty close to being the minimum I'd ever want to try and use these days.
If you have more than 1 user, or are a 4K streaming service user, you'll be pretty disappointed with 10MB.
Instead of backtracking from their previous 25MB down, as a benchmark, why not come up with a plan to actually improve service?
There are still many places in the US where 1MB down isn't possible to purchase.
