No school should accept to be vendor locked-in. Making all students to buy a device from a single vendor, buying (and maybe even developing) applications for that platform, and not being able to switch easily to another hardware provider is dumb.
Said the guy that has never had to provide technical services for a school.
There is nothing to prevent it mechanically from going up the stairs like a normal biped. It's probably more a matter of processing and localization than agility.
This. Fake news is written by fake reporters -- people who are deliberately trying to deceive, frighten or mislead by writing fictional stories. It is not the same as real news with errors.
Popularize a term and it will inevitably be misused. "Fake News" is not in the dictionary. It means whatever the largest number of people mean when they say it.
While I do agree the fact that he was fired is significant, you have to wonder what kind of culture is at the company where he thought this was something he could get away with.
That's a real work of circular logic there. Even though it was not tolerated, the fact it occurred shows that the company tolerates it.
In most companies, someone pulls a stunt like any of the ones listed here, and they're quickly smacked down, or fired outright (depending on the incident).
Unfortunately, I don't think it's the incident that determines the response, it's the pay grade of the offender.
Yeah, right. Enjoy your choked and congested LA hellscape. I'll stick to my compact walkable neighborhood.
My neighborhood is compact and walkable, too, but that doesn't mean there are a diversity of well paying jobs there. Take Spacex for instance: are you suggesting that all of the talent they need, from highly skilled engineers to the maintenance and janitorial crews, would all live within walking distance from the company? And what about suppliers and subcontractors? Suppose you're a chemist and your wife is a pilot. Good look finding the jobs you want within walking distance.
I know what a C-level exec is. What is an "IT Decision Maker?" The full article is basically the summary plus a bit of fluff with no sources and no additional information.
Is "Decision Maker" ManagerSpeak for "Security Team?" Otherwise, it sounds like the study may just be contrasting the opinions of middle-upper and senior management, which sounds pointless.
This is what struck me as well. They explicitly want to address government sponsored cyberattacks, while ignoring cyberattacks by everybody else. Interesting approach for a company that has a very cavalier attitude towards privacy
Well only the US Government really has the authority to make MS complicit in such attacks.
Anyone that has kids has pretty much forfeited their ticket to the good life. Why anyone would waste hundreds of thousands of dollars bringing more people into an already overcrowded world that will surely disappoint them is completely beyond me, particularly when you consider the mobility and quality of life you will be sacrificing to make this happen simply to follow a biological imperative.
You sound like a kid that doesn't want to share his toys. Thankfully, it sounds like you won't be raising another version of yourself, AC.
As has been pointed out by many people, California spent several billions of dollars on the hyperloop while letting this particular bit of infrastructure upgrade get ignored.
Perhaps you mean the California high speed rail, which was paid for (so far) by a bond measure, the money for which cannot legally be designated for something else?
Cook is way too optimistic. If all of us stopped for a minute to think things through, we wouldn't have been in the mess we are in. Can't blame him though. A large part of the man's job is to think, so he thinks (pun intended) it comes natural for everyone. It's the reverse Dunning–Kruger effect.
Someone told Democrat presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in the 1950s, “You are doing great. All thinking men are with you.” “No,” Stevenson replied. “I need a majority.”
As long as "think things through" is equal parts intelligence and pragmatic leadership. If you're not careful you get another Woodrow Wilson.
I'll have to give that a shot. I really like Risky Business http://risky.biz/. The caster, Patrick Gray, brings in a lot of interesting guests, and really seems to have a good handle on what kinds of stories and things matter, and what is just smoke and mirrors.
99% of the people who signed the request aren't shareholders, and 99% of shareholders didn't sign the request. The overlap between this third-party group and Facebook shareholders is small. Since there *are* a few people in both groups, they were able to officially file the proposal.
In just the last three months, there have been 23 million purchases of Facebook stock. That's probably fairly close to the number of Facebook stockholders - tens of millions. 1500 are part of this activist group.
Actually, it's closer to 99.5%. From TFA:
333,000 people signed the petition requesting Facebook improve its corporate citizenship, but 1,500 were actual shareholders in the company.

So far as I can see, it's identical in every way to the Nokia/MS 110 - it's just a case mod. Can't believe they've got so much PR out of this.
It's different. The camera is placed differently and has a flash, for one. I think the screen is bigger, too, at 2.4 vs 1.8 inches.
Well if you would have just come out in the first place and said you were a conspiracy theorist I wouldn't have bothered posting.

Amazon likely doesn't want to reveal what it's recording (everything)
patently false. It uses your network. You can monitor it. It only sends what you say after the wake word, when the top ring is lit.
and how long it holds onto it (forever).
probably true.

For the millionth time, just because someone has a nice picture and you like the same band means jack shit to any sort of real life potential.
That's not how the AI determines the match, that's how the AI convinces you to go on the date.

Minimal regulations? Nice euphemism for shamelessly breaking the law.
I think by "minimal regulations" he means that it's an easy thing to get into, unlike becoming an actual cab company driver.
I would say that a "Decision Maker" is the one capable of making such decisions, regardless of whether they are a CxO or a member of the IT team
That's what I was trying to get at. If a "Decision Maker" says it is someone else's responsibility, he is not making the decision.

Psychologically, this also means that young adults are more stuck with their personalities and faded of memory compared with their more mobile peers.

It would appear this guy falls into the 'drunk on money' category.
Read TFA. His dad was his biggest investor. He was not new to money.
