And TAX BREAKS to these same oil and gas companies while they push FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and disinformation and attack real science is OK?
please....
I agree with most of what you say - especially in stating that back doors, will, given enough time, be discovered and exploited by nefarious actors. As far as gun control - lack of sharing existing information and/or failure to enforce existing rules account for the vast amount of bad activity. disclaimer, I'm an avid hunter and CPL holder. Firearms can legally be manufactured in the home, aka ghost guns, and as 3d printing technology matures, this will only complicate the issue.
Prior to Ford, automobiles were each fabricated by hand in place. Ford's contribution to manufacturing was the introduction of mass production via the assembly line and mass produced parts. Instead of assemblers going from vehicle to vehicle, the car would be brought to the assembly station where pre-made, identical parts would be added. These innovations decreased assembly time and cost. Other cheap (cost saving) ideas included collecting lunch bags from employees and using those as door insulation rather than buying insulating / building material.
The other component to Fords mass produced vehicle was cultural - Americans wanted adventure and the automobile provided escape into the "back woods". This spurred the notion of "leisure time".
Heaven forbid should he consider paying his slaves $11/hr. I think he should remember that JITB is hardly a life necessary business and his workers are part of his customer base, that is till their fired/replaced.
And secondly, if they made glop that was actually edible, and people chose it for quality and taste, JITB could raise the price of a sandwich by a few cents and happily cover the increased labor costs.

Stupid little thing called the 4th Amendment... Any conflicts?
Given that perception is reality, and Google is the dominate web experience, the behavior of Google is indistinguishable and therefore THE web experience.
If it looks, quacks, and walks like a duck, it's a duck.
People said that when television first went to satellites. Back in the '80;s, home satellite TV boxes had card readers (just like credit cards) that had all your data id: channel and subscription info, on them. Possession of card readers, used by hackers to read/write their own cards, even for legitimate purposes (like making library cards on the same technology) became a crime - So too did even the "knowledge" of how the readers worked. It was a crime to post or share data layouts or how the hardware functioned. When a society reaches a point where it accepts that knowledge itself is a crime, essentially, outlawing ideas, the notion of "freedom" from there on is nothing more than veneer.
My biggest problem with "them" having the keys to the entire kingdom is "they" have repeatedly demonstrated a lack of accountability, complete disregard to law when not being immediately scrutinized, and just the basic ability to keep the keys they already have, safe.
Other than that, what's the problem?
As a parent of 8 children... PARENTS, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE DOING!
Can not be understated... stay involved. Be an adult, not a "buddy". Say "no" when it's appropriate. Don't be afraid to punish bad behavior. Don't allow yourself to get bullied. It's ok to take away the devices
Bottom line here is legislation can never make up for parenting, or you can't legislate morality. Some things require active involvement.
Perhaps, before you post, Coward, you should read the link. A a vast majority, including 3 out of 4 REPUBLICANS opposed the repeal of Net Neutrality on the eve of the vote. Which contradicts with the GOP storyline of "pesky Government interference" by regulation of providers.
Just like "pesky Government interference" requiring fire escapes or defining child labor laws. Corporations have shown little respect for safety to people, the environment or human rights. So, unfortunately, when Corporations fail to act responsibly, it falls on Governments to ensure the public safety and welfare.
Just like the evisceration of NN so the wealthy and powerful corporations can pillage- it no longer matters what we as consumers want. 80%+ of Americans supported Net Neutrality, yet it was killed anyway. https://www.washingtonpost.com...
What you or I want as "free" Americans in a "Democratic" society no longer matter. If a company can extract our personal information it will at any cost to our liberties or pocket book.
A fairly unthoughtful, knee jerk reaction from someone who is clearly no more involved in technology than being a writer.
Bugs happen. Everywhere on every layer.
Save your outrage for true malfeasance. Get angry at Feds for storing FS86 forms (the questionnaire for top secret clearance) on OPM servers unencrypted. Get angry at Equifax management for making the conscious, criminally liable decision, of storing PIN of pretty much every US tax payer “in the clear” at rest.
But for bugs that take years or generational development and understanding to discover, it’s unavoidable.
And certainly don’t suggest replacing it with a questionably supportable ecosystem. Linux, despite global usage, outside of a few niche hardcore users has completely failed on the desktop. (I know he didn’t specifically say Linux, but it’s an example of an attempt at global open source) Not a tolerable trajectory for hardware manufacture, let alone one that already represents market majority.
That's a nice sentiment, however it's also no different than Verizon/Comcast/AT&T saying, "That's a nice video. You wana keep watching, it will cost you"...
Local law enforcement has no idea how to deal with this. If it crosses county lines, then locals can't touch. Normally, this would fall under the FBI, but Humpty-Trumpty has eviscerated the organisations moral and the GOP is calling to "drain the swamp" of Federal law enforcement. They don't need any more lobbying money trying stop Federal 3 letter organizations.
Nope, this is the new form of "capitalism" that Trump brought to NY real estate. Blocking it is what he defines as those "pesky job killing regulations".
Muni-Broadband is just the last mile of pipe. If Netflix or Youtube traverses any one of the cabal members upstream infrastructure (which is highly likely), the traffic can/will be degraded or throttled.
As much as I detest these companies, I don't believe it is the role of local government to compete with private business using public tax dollars and staff with life long benefits again paid by citizens.
Venture Capitalists, the "investors", don't give 1 sh!t about improving lives, they only care about making money. Case and points: The VC's the purchased the rights to the blindness gene therapy shot - $1 million for the treatment. Because, they figure they deserve a percentage of how much more you will earn by not being blind.... or the VC's that purchased the rights for the leukemia shot.. that's right a shot that cures leukemia - can be yours for $700K.. It's important to note that most people have lifetime maximum of $1m or $2m on their health care policies. So really 1 treatment of either of these and it wipes out your health care usage for the rest of your life.
Or what about Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos... she doesn't care about lives, only making hers better with regard to fame and fortune - no matter who gets hurt.
No, the trend is investment backed health care the requires enormous profits. The US will soon be a country of heath for the wealth only.

Maybe M$soft isn't finished with Cortana, but we have. We disable it via policies on all network connected devices. Pretty pointless in the office.

I wanted the video and it looks interesting.... however, I would bet a broken screen = a bricked phone.

Where do you get your info? Private companies are not allowed to discriminate.... Seen a "Whites Only" sign lately?

Exactly why I don't want it. Thank you.
Those of us who used “the web” before the dot com bomb 1.0 © 2001 will likely attest the “web” died long ago. There was a time when the internet was a wonderful place of sharing and learning. The “godz” shared their knowledge, and those to whom such wisdom was bestowed, passed it on. We built and answered questions and learned because it was the right thing to do. A time when browsers just loaded, unencumbered by relentless multi-media ads. The web was built by techies, for anyone who desired to build, learn and create.
All goodness is eventually corrupted – the web was consumed by marketers and parasites. Used by the uniformed masses willing to gleefully hand over deeply personal information and preferring the instant gratification of a “like” over a professionally researched news is now the norm. Morons chanting artificial, made up and meaningless terms like, “pivot” or “disruption” not really caring to learn, create, build or share – just wanting to throw together some useless idea funded by someone else’s money in the hopes of being swallowed by an even larger entity and walking away with a pile of soulless cash.
As far as a mesh it’s more expensive than fiber – and ask Google how that fiber thing went I looked into building a mesh a couple of years ago. 36 endpoints per square mile are required for complete coverage with signal strength throughput decreasing by ½ per node jump. Logistically and financially, it’s not practical – unless you use super cheap equipment, aka super vulnerable and unsupported/un patched. So, once again you’re at a point where it can be hijacked for profit. Cycle repeats.

The City of Olympia tried to do the same thing and built "ClickNet". That system loses almost $10M per year.
What's happened to your property & sales taxes?
