Imagine someone invented a method of converting Terawatts electricity and human intellect into a symbolic currency with no intrinsic value, with no link to any material asset, not backed by any government (except North Korea), and which you can not actually spend at the local store.
If you buy a networked "talking speaker" from facebook and expect it to honor your privacy, or respect your settings,... you are going to learn a familiar lesson all over again.
HPV is a virus - that causes cancer. A cancer virus.
Yes, HPV causes cancer of the cervix, vulva, and vagina. But also cancers of the penis, throat, mouth, anus, prostate. Men get HPV cancers too. Penetrative sex is not required.
So HPV is a virus - that causes cancer - of the sex organs.
I wish they called it "Sex organ cancer virus."
Unlike ALL the other cancers, these cancers can be prevented with a single vaccine.
A cancer vaccine.
We are sexually active, and we both received the Gardasil-9 series. Our insurance (KP) would NOT cover it. Said we were too old. We went to Costco and paid out of pocket 3 shots in the series, about $220 each.
Schrödinger did not wish to promote the idea of dead-and-alive cats as a serious possibility; on the contrary, he intended the example to illustrate the absurdity of the existing view of quantum mechanics. However, since Schrödinger's time, other interpretations of the mathematics of quantum mechanics have been advanced by physicists, some of which regard the "alive and dead" cat superposition as quite real. Intended as a critique of the Copenhagen interpretation, the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment remains a defining touchstone for modern interpretations of quantum mechanics.[citation needed] Physicists often use the way each interpretation deals with Schrödinger's cat as a way of illustrating and comparing the particular features, strengths, and weaknesses of each interpretation.[citation needed]

Time Machine is Apple's backup / restore program. It is not going anywhere.
AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) is Apple's proprietary network stack for streaming. It's used by many hardware venders to synch wireless speakers. I believe AirFoil uses it. It's not going anywhere either.
Time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with an integrated HD used for Time Machine. It is going away.
Sorry, but no. Nope. One silly sentence at the end does not make TFA untrue.
Yes, this is a story about NASA, but also about how this administration works.
In this administration: experience and education, integrity and honesty, ability and competence, commitment to the constitution and to rule of law, are just not important. They do not matter.
What does matter? Personal loyalty, to one person. This president can not find competent people willing to do his bidding. So he finds political appointees, rewards them with positions.
Look at appointments to HUD, State, EPA, Justice, and on and on. All getting gutted, hollowed out, filled with ideologues and kooks.
Please, feel free to dismiss all of this as a liberal political conspiracy. But it is what this story is about.

We live in Honolulu, got the scary message, did not panic, immediately attempted to verify its veracity, because I DON'T BELIEVE EVERY FUCKING THING I READ ON A PHONE.
Sure, it was un-nerving as hell to get the message, but I am a skeptic by nature.
There were no sirens, nothing on the internet, nothing on the local news, no stream of military jets and choppers out of Pearl and KMCB, etc, etc. Nothing. Yawn. Saturday morning.

Fix?
"... The gel is applied to the back and shoulders."
Uh-oh. Better tell Bob.
He's been "applying" it to his "front".
Also no spike in traffic accidents, heart attacks, etc.
In a post-agricultural society, all that stuff is optional and unnecessary.
Why do people still do it then? Tradition.
US: WE GOT THE BEST TOYS!
China: We built the chips for your toys.
US: But ... WE GOT THE BEST TOYS!

On the other hand
Extreme claims require extreme evidence.
It ain't there.

It's a computer. Not a violin. Enterprise-level BS sales-speak won't change that.
You want to impress us, make it a good value with good drivers and tight system integration.
Will custom hardware make that easier?
I believe you are mistaken.
Schrödinger’s point was that the Copenhagen Interpretation led to absurd conclusions. See below.

Right now, today,
the most 'dangerously destabilizing force in the world' is
American Democracy.
And the technology that manipulates it.
Not killer robots.
Or genetically modified dinosaurs.
Or sharks with friggin lasers.
It's the tech that makes US voters stupid.
They are having a genuine water crisis right now in some South African cities.
I recall reading that aggressive farming can suck a water table dry.
Big trees have tap roots that drill down to the water table,
which contains 'fossil water' - old water that does not get replenished
easily or at all.
So, it's Huawei or the highway, eh?
I doubt any form of intelligence will ever be 'safe'.
You can't Nerf the world.

But it is what this story is about.
No joke.
The NSA created the tools.
The NSA allowed them to be stolen by hackers and used.
The NSA should be held responsible for the damage they do.
I do hope Atlanta sues them, makes their case to the press.
Or forces them to help break the encryption and put out the fire.
Assange helped elect Trump.
The timing of the leaks makes that clear.
Both are narcissists, and actual megalomaniacs.
Little empathy and poor sexual boundaries.
Egos of mythic proportions.
That's my 2 cents.
"Less than one light year" leave a lot of slop.
If the wayward sun perturbed the Oort cloud,
it likely showered the Earth with random crap
for 10s of millions of years.
Static systems are sensitive.
An old lady calls the police, complaining that her neighbors parade around, naked, in plain view, putting on lewd displays, even having sex.
The cops come, she leads them to a tall fence, and says: "there".
The cops says, "All I can see is a fence".
The old lady says, "Well, you a have to stand on this chair to actually see them."

It's a terrible joke, but it has a kernel of truth.
No one would know about these images, or care.
You really have to go out of your way to be offended.
Or best. Can't decide.
