Even if it were possible to somehow get an unbiased fact engine (and I personally don't believe this is possible yet because all sources of information that would be the pool for this engine are human created), we would still be left with the problem of why?
I really don't believe that people are motivated by facts in any real sense.
Also, fact does not necessarily mean universal truth. For example, it is a fact that the sky is blue. But what if you are color blind? That is a fact that may not be true to you. You can have everyone in the world telling you that the sky is blue... but you know that it isn't. Which is the truth?
All I see this "facts in the browser" thing to be is a power grab to get people to think the same way as some other people.
Look, some people would look at this election and see a country divided. But I don't see it that way. I just see people with different personal truths. Half the population cannot be "wrong" and the other "right". Only different. Different is a good thing.
Quit trying to find technical "solutions" to ideological "problems"....
1. Make some ACL's in the 'ol firewall which only grant access to authorized IP's 2. Use some kind of authentication scheme to grant access 3. Create a custom API for getting podcasts out there 4. Lock down access to everything and create a custom app yourself or just grant access only through a web interface 5. Fuck off
The control is entirely in their hands.... what are they complaining about?
They are, almost certainly, spending more in lawyer fees than most of their other available options.
Boggles the mind that a company would rather play a game of legal whack-a-mole than actually pursue a solution to the root issue (which is "unauthorized" access to their content).
You need to keep a tight leash on those little rug rats.
How are you going to guide a student if you don't know what they are up to all the time?
That's the trade off... you are young with few responsibilities but you are monitored closely. Once you are older, you are not monitored so closely and have more freedom but with that comes responsibilities...
I thought for sure that we had seen the last of this push for self driving cars.... I sure am glad that this guy was here to tell us that a possible mistake at a different company won't derail their plans.... whew...
I used to assemble industrial sized) printers and I got pretty good at it after a couple of years. Even still, I could barely finish 8 in a day if I really (and I mean REALLY) hustled and all of the parts were in spec and ready to go.
4 hours seems kind of optimistic to me for a car. I would think that just the wiring alone would take at least that long.
I feel like there is something fundamental that I am missing here.
I mean, love them or hate them, Apple has raised the bar on phones. There is a fairly high expectation for phones to be well designed, fast, light and feature rich.
It is not an easy thing to do. Yet here we are with dozens of manufacturers in the game, each with their own offering.
Are none of them making a profit on their phone divisions? This seems to be what I keep hearing but it just seems unreasonable to me.
First, many of these companies operate beyond the smartphone market, so they may not be losing money overall.
Ok, I am with you. Many handset makers also make other stuff.
Second, no profit does not mean no revenue. So these companies may be healthy overall or even quite profitable despite their unprofitable smartphone divisions.
That may work for a while. I mean, you can operate in the red for a long time if other parts of the business compensate... but not forever. And by forever, it seems like 2 - 3 years of running losses seem to be enough for investors to start calling for blood
Why bother? Presumably, they are hoping to improve their profitability in a market that is assumed to continue to grow. Or perhaps they are simply trying to expand brand recognition to aid their other, profitable endeavors.
I get it. If you can get your device in someone's hands, they are sort of a captive audience. Once established with enough of a footprint, you can then start monetizing those eyeballs. Still.. that is a LONG game for a startup or even an established business. Especially when competition is so fierce and margins are so low...
I mean, you may be right... It just doesn't make much sense to me.
They are 4 phones in now... you'd think that they would be turning a profit by now.... right?
Maybe not..
How about Huawei and Xiaomi?
Apple cannot be the only handset making who makes a profit... who would want to jump into that kind of environment? Yet there are so many handset manufacturers.... why would that be if only Apple makes a profit.

At least there will still be gravity in the tubes....

But I want to be outraged right now!
This is what I was thinking.
Other possibilities:
1. Make some ACL's in the 'ol firewall which only grant access to authorized IP's
2. Use some kind of authentication scheme to grant access
3. Create a custom API for getting podcasts out there
4. Lock down access to everything and create a custom app yourself or just grant access only through a web interface

1. Why are these infrastructure computers reachable from the Internet?
2. Why this system doesn't fail safe if the controller is taken down?
Yet another cautionary tale of IoT woe, but also some seemingly bad design...

I think that you could find reports of any device with l-ion batteries exploding/catching fire.
There is solid evidence that there are Trump supporters...
Better than a Penis, imo.
Until it becomes feasible to have a roving bot with an AV stack and an Internet connection on it follow around a non-skilled worker.
The controller back in India can just tell the non-skilled worker what to do and they will do it.
The controller could supervise a whole work site worth of workers.
The target market for this service is made 100% crystal clear by their placeholder page.

I am assuming that this will have the full 15 minutes of commercials per hour that normal "cable" packages have?
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! He is almost certainly not rigging the election!

the only profitable firm is Apple.
Is OnePlus making a profit?

I shopped at a shop for photoshop so that I could shop some photos to display at the shop show.
Hmmmm..... Siri on steroids....
Roid-rage...hilarity ensues...
Oh yeah... except that the product has the word "magic" in it... which totally inspires confidence in a technological breakthrough.
Magic = smoke + mirrors
1. How does this device work sir?
2. Well, you see, it's magic.
1. You have given up at life haven't you?
"The 3 dongle shave club"... Sounds dongly
Oblig: My voice is my passport.
Any single factor authentication scheme is just begging to be bypassed...
I imagine this thing to be the device that Riker brought back from Risa in "The Game"
Come on Wesley, try it! Everyone is doing it!
You might even say: "I'll believe it when I see it"
