They want to sell their stuff and will say whatever it takes to do so.
Of course they will not sell your data, until they change their mind because of their shareholders / losses / possibility to make more money / change in CEO /....
Some people even argue that antivirus programs cause more vulnerabilities that they solve and advise not to install any. Besides that, they will make your computer ridiculously slow, and might interfere with each other, possibly causing crashes and false positives.
Seriously, there is absolutely no need to connect fridges, cars, toasters, kettles and other shit to the internet. This is not progress, and it will not make people's life easier. Just different.
Obviously the US is not a single timezone. And not all people wake up at the same time either. That does not change the fact that it may be interesting to look into this coincidence.
If the state keeps taking responsibility from the people we will end up with no one knowing anymore what responsability is. "It is not forbidden so it's OK".
Except for London, everywhere in Europe I have been:
1. Taxi drivers are incompetent and rude.
2. Taxi's are way to expensive.
In London however:
1. Black cab drivers can find the quickest way to the smallest street in a complex city.
2. Taxi's are very reasonably priced.
3. Private car hire is allowed, for those long trips where taxi's would be too expensive.
London does not need Uber. But mainland Europe needs it. Badly!
If they ever bother me about this when I just go there to relax and watch a movie I will immediately demand my money back and never visit that movie theatre again.
I work in academia. Half of the things we use are old, and it all works great! Old network analysers, old oscilloscopes, coaxial cables, computers running MS-DOS (not sure what version, but older than 6.2), expansion cards in ISA slots to control said equipment, dot matrix printers, FORTRAN programs, computers with 3.5" floppy disks as their only way to get to data,...
Agreed. But maybe they should have changed the law before that happened. There is absolutely no reason why I (or Uber) would need a license to transport people in my car.
So if I understand correctly they are going to sell "medicine" that:
1. does not work
2. is not what it says on the bottle
3. is claimed to come from endangered animals
So cheating is allowed now? I understand their good intentions, but everything about this is wrong. There are so many problems with this.
Oh but wait, this is slashdot and it has "3D printing" in the title.
The government (regardless of which one) never misses a good opportunity to waste money. This needs to be investigated in-depth by a large committee of overpaid political and legislative experts who know nothing about robots.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with gene testing. And it is not "gene testing" who gets it wrong. The second part of the sentence explains it all: "... with different labs giving different interpretations." It is some of the interpretations that are wrong or in other words: bad science by incompetent "researchers".
Indeed if you take my reaction and that sentence out of its context it sounds stupid. But you can also try to understand the point I am making here. The first post talks about this being an "irresponsible" push of software, and an interesting reply follows about *who* is responsible, and *criminal* liability.
So my (logical, I think) reaction is simply to say "who even cares about criminal liability at this stage, let's find the problem and solve it". It is also very well possible that nobody made mistakes or can be held responsible.
Who cares? People died and everything should be done to prevent a similar accident in the future. If that indeed involves a single person making a mistake, he will probably have learned from it and never make such a mistake again. Blaming someone will not make the problem go away.
No, there is no need for standardisation. There is simply a need to write clearly on the bill what it is for, or at least to be able to answer questions about it when asked.

I think sites like match.com are highly manipulative.
You ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until you meet a real women.

The time difference between China and the US is also 13 hours. Coincidence?
Must be lots of repeated code. Then it is riddled with a single bug.
The real problem is that apparently no scientists were involved in the decision to purchase these things.
So to defend against attacks on our freedom we take away that freedom? Politicians have totally lost the plot.
If the state keeps taking responsibility from the people we will end up with no one knowing anymore what responsability is. "It is not forbidden so it's OK".
"Robotics' professionals are understandably skeptical" They forgot to ask professional chefs? They are probably even more skeptical.
If they openly collected telephone data they would not be called the SECRET service.

My point is that it would be better the other way round: If the courts would wait for the lawmakers to update the laws.
What a bullshit. They should instead adapting the law to the changing times. This is like deciding whether a computer is an abacus or a typewriter.

If the starwars stuff gets +1 the comment above should at least get +2.
