The FCC has huge balls. To roll over so brazenly without even trying to hide the fact that they are a sock puppet for the industry and fuck the American public over to the extent they did takes balls.
Just because its in a public ledger does not mean it isn't anonymous. What it means is that it is traceable within that ledger. In order to identify *who* actually did something you still need to go through an exercise of deanonymising the user. Just because you know that {cryptohash} bought realhash for $10 doesn't automatically tell you who {cryptohash} is.
Kind of like this post here on Slashdot. If you take a careful look at your replies you may be able to deanonymise one of the Anonymous Cowards who replied to your post. But doing so relies entirely on *me* making a mistake allowing you to make the link.
Wait remotely wiping? I don't understand. I thought we were just deleting the app! I even logged in to Facebook this morning to post about how I just #deletefacebooked
You KNOW what they're doing. Why are you still there ?
Because I don't care. Because the information they have is quite meaningless. Because the service still offers things I want despite the fact I pretty much never post stuff.
Right now the government has far bigger problems in the UK. From the horrible clusterfuck that is Brexit, to constant internal bickering, to outing someone as gay just because they disagreed with them for political reasons, the UK parliament itself is in too much of a disarray to do anything meaningful right now.
Political capital? I will wager this will all be forgotten within a month or two.
Wow there. Didn't want to start anything, just going for a funny myself. Personally I'm not actually a millennial either.:-)
And I remember those phones. What really sucked was dialing my grandma internationally. I could call friends faster than I could punch out the 0011 international transfer number. That damn wheel took so long to click back. *shudder* It didn't help her number had a few more 0s in it.
Side note have you taken apart one of those phones before? There was nothing in them to break. They were a beautiful example of engineering done right, kind of like a mechanical watch vs some iWatch rubbish.
What ever happened to Mankind being able to do great things and solve hard problems
We did it and we continue to do it by stepping on the brakes and analysing the situation before continuing.
Do you know how many people were lost during the building of the Panama Canal
Do you know why we are able to build such projects with far less loss of life now?
We've lost our balls and our teeth.
You're an idiot if you think that.
If you disagree don't bother debating with me, I'm not listening.
I stand corrected. You're not an idiot at all. You're a fucking moron and a danger to everyone around you. You have no concept of how the world works or how it worked. Keep living away in your bubble of ignorance.
I'm curious the sort of regulatory overhead that is added. Is it study time?
So am I. From what I can gather it is just an endless string of busybodies asking endless questions about what ultimately is standard off the shelf designs. There is really nothing remarkable about reactor safety systems and they are highly prescriptive with even less room for design cockups than a typical safety system. I have no idea what goes on in the regulatory agencies, but typically when you submit documents to a client with minor changes they come back in a days, not months. Then every change requires a level of justification that makes me question why whatever regulatory body this shit gets submitted to doesn't just design the system themselves.
I wasn't project manager, so I really didn't care what the name of the department was. But ultimately we were in no rush either. Only the initial documents were paid for by the sheet, work after that was billed by the hour so we were "happy" to accommodate any further requests as they came.
Got paid, but the amount of paperwork necessary to install a handful of transmitters and 3 Tricons just sapped the life out of me. I'm happy to have that behind me.
Yeah Uber were negligent but I wouldn't use the video of evidence of this. Regardless of how well lit the area was there's a shitload of crap cameras out there. For every well lit Street I can show you a dash cam that would be worthless for recording footage there.
More likely a car loaded with sensors didn't seem like it needed any investment in a camera pointed at the driver.... Right until they did
It's just that no society has ever built anything that big before in the entire history of the planet.
A quick look at the earth from google maps will show that we have built many such things, not only flat covering surface area but also with multiple layers of vertical structure beneath.
We just haven't built it as a single project in one place. You could put solar panels on every roof in America for less than the cost of the annual military budget. We don't have the construction capability to do so at this stage, but the point is don't be afraid to think big. A lot of problems are easily surmountable when broken down.
which achieve greater safety via expensive safety systems
They do nothing of the sort. The safety systems in GenIII reactors are effectively off the shelf. Chemical plants install them by the dozen all the time. What becomes expensive is the regulatory overhead imposed on the project.
My own anecdote installing a Triconex system in a power plant in Spain was that by the time we finished that god forsaken 6 year long project we got a lifecycle notice from the vendor saying the system is soon to be obsolete. I literally just finished installing such a system in a nuclear plant only to move to the very next project at a hydrogencyanide plant and pull out an identical model and age system in the form of an obsolescence upgrade project. (That took 2 months by the way).
I never want anything to do with the nuclear industry again. On the upside the billable hours were huge. We never got anything done but boy did we get paid for it.
1) It's about the most basic language there is. 2) It's 41 words long. 3) It's in clear font and takes up 1/3rd of your phone's screen. 4) Hasn't changed since it was rolled out.
Yes EULAs are stupid, but as this Facebook case proves the users are many orders of magnitude stupider.
I'm surprised you weren't recommended that friend based on location alone. I was working at a plant in Germany for 2 weeks and one of the guys I was with who we never shared any contact details with had me as a suggested friend on his Facebook when he was using it at lunch. Based only on the fact that we were both in the same area a lot.
It's an opt nothing. You have to click Turn On or Turn Off in the 3rd window presented to you order to actually start Facebook the first time. Opt In or Opt Out implies there's some hidden default that I need to go in and change.
Calling what Facebook is doing Opt-Out really waters down what should be actual anger towards actual nefarious opt-out cases.
This is all generally right, but in this specific case their EULA talking about uploading of the information was literally 41 words long forcing you to click "Turn On" or "Not Now" (45 words if you include reading the text on the buttons)
No, they aren't screwing any modders. Users can whitelist their device with Google and the warning notice that comes up even has a link directing you to instructions for doing so.
They aren't screwing ANY users. You can buy a Chinese pirate phone too which would never get certification to run Play apps, and white list that one too if you hate yourself that much.
Slashdot Mirror
So while the NSA also failed to keep citizens safe it now is shown to have directly contributed to an attack on its own government.
Well done!
The FCC has huge balls. To roll over so brazenly without even trying to hide the fact that they are a sock puppet for the industry and fuck the American public over to the extent they did takes balls.
What they don't have is integrity.
"How the hell is Microsoft still even in business at this point?" Who is propping them up?
Paying enterprise customers who aren't treated like shit like the rest of us. Don't pretend we are all equal.
What business would risk putting their documents on One Drive / Office with these terms?
These terms are for worthless consumers only. Businesses aren't shitty lower class citizens like the rest of us.

Nope, but clearly over a billion people WANT.

You dont refuse a 'request' from Parliament.

He's the CEO of a US based company that does business in the UK. It is quite different than being summoned by the US government.

The Zuck is complying where he has to , but more importantly why should he accommodate the non-binding asks of foreign governments?

Yes that is literally the use case for emergency braking assistance that has been a feature of upper market cars for many years.

As cool as those projects are, they are frigging expensive.
