I was on the fence for a long time about whether or not I wanted one of these, but the clincher was the hands-free cooking aid (eg timers and measurement conversion/math). It fits well into the kitchen.
How will the employer know who, specifically, is drawing the benefits? I would think that the government wouldn't have to share names... just send a bill....
I am thinking that the government doesn't have to necessarily *tell* the employer who is specifically claiming benefits... they would just know that some people are. I would think that a company as big as the ones being targeted would have several employees claiming assistance.
I was thinking the same thing... here was my stream of consciousness:
Hmmm.... aerial surveillance eh? I have heard of this in the context of Mexico.... what podcast was that? 99PI? Can't remember... huh.... "some residents" eh? Paranoid residents perhaps.... uh huh..... real-time, stitching together..... where is that data stored? All streamed by satellite? Is 30k ft close enough to get cell coverage? Not sure that they direct signals up in the air.... probably local storage with periodic dumps.... how much would this all cost per year? experienced pilot, plane, equipment, fuel, maintenance, plane storage, runway fees, analysts.... gotta be in the millions.... how much area can one plane cover at 30k ft? All of Baltimore at one shot? Otherwise, why would you need to "stitch".... which implies that it can't cover it all at once.... so there will be rolling "blind spots" right? Is that right?...... POWERPOINT?! *laugh* that is oddly specific and pretty weird.....
I take the train part way and walk part way. I get 12,000+ steps every day. It takes me about between 30 and 60 minutes depending on where I decide to get off the train.
When I first moved in to my apartment, I was so grateful for a neighbor's open wifi that when I got my own installed, I left a guest network open for the express purpose of helping out any new neighbors.
I didn't rate limit it, but I did make sure that DNS was served by OpenDNS with filtering and that any other DNS was blocked.
Now ask yourself, if the cops said my car ran someone over, would any criminal judge or appeals panel in their right minds believe that "the bare allegation that defendant owns the car is insufficient to support criminal charges"?.
Perhaps if you actually owned an IP address. Most people don't though.
Your analogy would be more apt if the person committing the crime was using a stolen rental car.
I have no idea where you got that idea, but in general any such generalization / assumption will be wrong. Nobody is OK with performance slowdowns, especially when the degree of performance degradation is an unknown.
I think are a generalizing about who is "OK" with performance slowdowns.
Personally, I would be ok with some performance loss if my security is enhanced. It just depends on how much performance is lost.
I too have had a long career in IT. Though I did get a 2 year degree from a trade school, I continually find that my knowledge is full of holes.
There are fundamental gaps in knowledge that, even this late in the game, I continue to fill in by listening to netcasts and researching problems.
My lack of knowledge has never held me back from meeting my ambition level and I have never had a problem landing a job in the field. I just think that, had I started with a real college foundation, I would probably be better off now.

Wow, nice.... all the AC jokes bundled together, right at the top.... convenient!
Well said, my friend.
Surprise! You thought you were just installing a browser.... but instead you are installing an application platform and remote telemetry vehicle!

One way we have seen is that phishers will send empty messages around holidays in order to harvest auto-response e-mails complete with user sigs.
This not only nets the user's title, but also confirms that they are out of the office. Which then allows for a more sneaky spear phishing attack.
Exactly right.
Also, I like to be in the know about things coming down the pike so I can be better prepared at work where I maintain a fleet of these Windows boxen.
It was an experiment that was going well for a while and I did try to live with it and reported to MS for a month or so before I just got tired of it.
Wow, I thought I was the only one.
I have been running Win10 on my gaming PC since the free upgrade from Win7. I later joined the Insider fast ring.
Everything was going great until 1809 when my games slowed wayyyy down.
Driver updates helped a little but didn't solve it.
I finally decided to go back to Win7. Everything is working great again.

Even if the time can certifiably be classified as "wasted" just think how much time our ancestors "wasted" traveling.....

Living close to work is the way to go for sure.
Of course... I just realized... an iPatch is probably what you call a pirated iPhone.
Oh.... I thought that was an ePhone....

I presume, then, that you are absolutely fine with an "informed" vote that cancels out your vote?
How about an "informed" voter who casts their vote based on irrational fear?
How about an "uninformed" voter who casts a vote for the candidate that you agree with?
FIFY
But see... this one will be smart and have apps and disrupt the paradigm....

Also, what is with the single quotes around the word "Terabytes"?
I imagine someone speaking that sentence and when they get to the word Terabytes, they make air quote gestures with their fingers.
Is it actual terabytes of data or is that implied hyperbole?

The permissions will become more granular to allow users who care to lock down what apps can access certain sensors and data.
I audit my app permissions regularly and disable anything that I don't think the app needs.
Until that happens, though, I can just not use my banking app from my phone.
I just used an NFC tag to put the password in. Stuck the tag to a central location in the house and any guest can just tap their phone to the tag.
I agree that $100/year is pretty steep
I pay $50/year for FastMail.com which gives me unlimited domain aliases, DNS control, 25GB of storage and as many aliases as I want.
I have no affiliation with FastMail, I just love the service.
I am guessing that they just switch to the Chrome name by that point....
