If you entire quality control operation depends on a piece of plastic that can easily be removed, then one assumes there are other quality control issues afoot.
I don't know. Netflix has been pretty controlling about where it allow content to play. For instance I had a VGA monitor connected to my desktop, and netflix would load content saying it required me to use the HDMI connections. I agree that this sounds like a response to the Apple TV+, but it could be that the airplay interface is just too open for netflix.
From the point of view of a king, there is great reason to micromanage the peasants.
However, the nanny state has proven to have limited success. There will always be losers who can't manage their time or their impulses, and society will always have to deal with these people the best they can. Be it pot, or gambling, or video games, it all comes down to who has the coping mechanisms to succeed in the world, and who is going to waste their lives doing whatever the current cool thing is, in this case Fortnite.
People like having benefits, and minimum wage, and not being taunted by their passengers.
For some people and some jobs the gig model works. For other jobs, firms just use it to circumvent worker protection. Recall that MS and others have paid huge fines for misclassification of workers. If everyone is honest, being a contract worker is a good deal.
What is next. Mandatory dick pics with a ruler proving length. To make things fai how about mandatory topless women with two tape measures.
I get that people don’t want to waste time hooking up with a guy that is not within technical specs. It is just that I would think there might others concerns, like not getting raped.
All of these services cut costs by transferring risk to consumer. This is their business model, to circumvent decades of regulations, and provide value to those who want it. There is nothing wrong with this, except that generations of Americans have grown up being protected, and they continue to believe those protections are in place even when they clearly are not.
So, if you pay for the Hampton, there are a bunch of things that come with it. It is unlikely that you are going to be filmed having sex because the entire assets of the corporation are going to be up for grabs when some wiley lawyer takes the case.
On there other hand, there is no reason that an AirBnB renter has not to film you having sex, or that AirBnb has to prevent this. There renter is going to have minimal exposure, and AIrBnB has none as long as it makes a passing effort to say it does not support such actions.
He is doing this to intimidate the common person and destroy democracy, plain and simple. Twitter has taken down his mom because it was ambiguous, but the cow account is clearly satire and is protected by law. As SCOTUS said in the landmark case, insulting our leaders goes all the way back to George Washington, and is what separates us from lesser Democracies.
Unfortunately most conservatives are pathetic delicate flowers that can’t take a joke. Look at Trump when we talk about his little fingers and mushroom penis. He goes ballistic. This is not a case where we are making bigoted personal attacks, like saying he, like all farm boys, bothers cows, it is in fact mostly legitimate political satire.
So this is just an attack on democracy. No one is listing his address and telling people to blow up his house, or attack his family, or kill his livestock. In fact the original cow account was a political statement about his moving to Iowa from his home state of California to save taxes.
It is not like anyone is asking for a paternity test to prove that none of the cows was fathered by him.
This reminded me when Walmart started aggressive pushing it's on branding and preferentially placing it's own products. Recall it was not so long ago that Walmart had an obscene market share in retail. While it did damage the major brands, they responded, survived and grew.
People have a lot of inertia when it comes to how they spend their money. I buy amazon batteries, but that is about it. How wants Amazaon shampoo or whatever.
Not landfills, lakes, rivers, pond, bayous, oceans. I suspect, and it has been somewhat documented, that people who don’t like scooters blocking the sidewalk just literally throw them in the lake.
The best case scenario is that cities are confiscated them and selling them to recoup violation fees.
When I had to do AutoCAD sometimes boot camp was great. Faster than most native windows setup. But fir the past few years vbox has bern a better fit.
What we have to remember is that this is not the first time apple has done this, and each time they have done it well with good results and benefits. Obviously the last time we got boot camp which at the time was a huge gain. We will see what is up thier sleeve this time. Likely integration across all the product lines.
Apple overemgineers thie site and it makes no sense. They are one of the few companies that still, for instance, forces you to use an App instead of their site,
In this case it is likely a badly implemented design decision.
Here is my argument. Airlines spend huge sums of money cutting every ounce that they can. The entrertainment systems are bought by the thousands, and are just stock items that fell off the back of a truck. It is hard to believe the cameras would be there if there was not some valid use case.
1000 or so windows machines exposed in a country of 8 million, with unclear actual security risk.
DNS servers that actually serve DNS requests. Yes DDOS attacks are a problem, but so are DNS servers that don’t d anything. Agian, very few that appear to be a real problem.
Cameras are an issue, but it s pleasantly surprising there are only two public.
A few people have pen printers. One can imagine use cases security by obscurity might be the best option. Who is going to print on a random printer. And the up address for my printer cycles way too often.
It is unclear why a website that answers to get request is a problem. That is what websites should do. A functional website should never return a 404.
Textbook are a guide to learning that are only expensive only if you think knowing how to do stuff is worthless. Textbooks as physical objects are not worth so much because so many resources are now available and the value of a curated fixed piece of knowledge is now much more limited. Painstakingly created guides to history, literature, problem sets, etc are not the basis of education they once were.
That said, the idea that code.org is not a textbook is false. It is. These guys are making loads of money, and the people training the teachers are making lot of money just like the people who train for textbooks. Code.org is a curated path of curriculum that is as fixed as any textbook. The problem sets are as open to cheating and as ineffective as any traditional problem set. It is expensive. The only difference is that the expense is paid of by industry partners, who then get to advertise to the student and teachers in the curriculum.
That said, code.org is an invaluable resource to delivering instruction to the high school student. The reason is that, for the most part, we don't have that many computer science teachers who can put together an effective curriculum from resources off the Internet. Also, we don't really have a lot of free tools to teach students computer science like we do the other core subjects of math, science, and reading. Code.org fills that holes very effectively and allows many students to receive a basic introduction to computer science that otherwise would not. It is like the early days of AP Calculus and Physics, where it was hard just to find a teacher with deep knowledge, so a textbook to help them was critical.
And that said, one has to remember that the course being discussed here is conceptual computer science. The ability to actually solve a problem using computer science is non existent. The written part is portfolio based and created outside of a secure environment. The content taught is pretty much what anyone around here who has done this for more than 5 years would consider common. It is critical that every person has this as part of the their very early high school experience, but is no match to the rigor of computer courses I was offered in high school when all we had were Apples and mainframes.
I like the fact that there is a lot of development on the free front, both openoffie and libreoffice. I stoped using libreoffice when it broke on the Mac, and now tend to use the commercial Apple stuff or google docs for the simple stuff I do. More complex stuff I use LaTex as it tends to be technical.
I am sure there is a business case to continue to buy MS Office, but given the cost I don't really understand why small firms would do so.
Not so much ideas, but people want cheaper spice. Most people, for instance, are happy with fake cinnamon which for all intents and purposes is the same as real cinnamon.
So by making task specific spice combinations, and minimizing for costs, commodity spice companies such as this can offer value products.If you look at the ingredient, the real challenge for AI is figuring how much salt and pepper can be added to a spice pack and still have the consumer believes that it contains spices other than salt and pepper.
Like how chicken place no longer advertisers secrete blend of spices, after researches discovered that they were just aded salt and pepper like you would at home
It is also often very expensive to grade and can subject students to the cultural biases of the grader or instructor. This is why, for instance, more than one person grades the written part of the GRE and more grade it if there is more than one point difference. Expensive. The goal is to keep the efficiency and maximize the objectivity of the test while acknowledging that cheating occurs.
Fundamentally the issue here is not that students are cheating, but that tests are designed the same way there were 50 years ago, and are measuring the same kind of useless knowledge that lead to the problems we have in the 1970's.
Take the Advanced Placement exams, from the college board. These are college level exams where you have all the knowledge in front of you, and you need to understand the application to get a high score. However, the test is ultimately measuring your ability to fill in the correct bubble so any rational person, if they can, is simply going to get a list of correct answer choices and fill them in. Yes, many tests have a written section so you must know something, but on many AP tests the written section is not the limiting factor.
if you are not interested in rank and file, but knowledge, then there are a number of innovated ways that one can ask questions in a computer based exam that both give an somewhat individualized test to each student and can be graded automatically. The student can be given all the content, and can even be allowed to 'cheat' to find other content, but the cheating is not free. I costs time and points as the students will not be able to complete as many questions as the student that is familiar with the subject.
Go daddy did not innovate this as it has been done since day one. Large corporations were too dumb to register thier domain early, then too greedy to pay what was a time fair market value as it was cheaper to sue. It is like having a food truck, having someone else but the parking lot you use, then suing them to prevent them from using the lot as they please because you are entitled to the space for your business.
It was legal and reasonable speculation just like any other. Some made money, most lost a lot. There is no real harm because we are not talking real estate in London or Paris.
So Singapore data company appears to be real as it has a linkin result.
However a CTO who does not know even the most fundamental basics of the internet, or expects to buy a.com domain in 2019, does not the best advertisement make.
I mean, I fully expect his next post to ask who are these 'hackers' that broke into into his Windows 3.11 computers and stole all his data. I fully expect him to be shocked, I tell you shocked, that someone thug could or world log onto an innocent person remote disks an download all the data.
Or how he left his unencrypted laptop for a minute at the airport to go the bathroom, and even asked the nice kid next to him to watch it, an by the time he landed at his destination all the data was sold on this new fangled thing called the dark web.

A con of this magnitude deserves its own TED talk.

This is what happens when oversight is thrown away and the lobbyist run the government.

No crime, just lawsuits. one kid get nabbed and the company issued to oblivion.
The big guys have their own resources to protect their own revenue flow and do no have to come here and complain how unfair life is.
