Now that anonymous hacker's story about hacking my email is shown to be at least partially true due to Microsoft's negligence, will Microsoft be paying into his bitcoin account to keep my private videos safe, or do I have to wait until they disclose the vulnerability in Internet Explorer that lets hackers access my webcam even if I use other browsers to view porn sites?
How about if the FAA wants to delegate some of its safety related responsibilities to aircraft manufacturers, we at least have a regulation that the type of aircraft to be used on a route be fully disclosed before purchase of tickets, and any change of aircraft be subject to full refund and compensation at the passenger's sole discretion. If we can't trust an independent body to regulate these things, we need to be able to vote with our wallets.

Richard Liu probably counts time spent playing golf as working, because he is out "building relationships" with clients, or perhaps labor department bureaucrats who would otherwise investigate his company for these labor law violations if he didn't keep them onside.
Also the "if you don't do it while you're young" thing only works when companies are burning out their employees and forcing them out of the industry in their 30s.
Now, Luzon is only accessible by sea, but there are plenty of theories around about lower sea-levels creating a landbridge through Indonesia and on to mainland Asia during the last ice age. Have these theories been conclusively disproven now, or is the article trying too hard to be sensational by implying that our pre-historic relatives were capable of navigating the oceans, while the homo sapiens who surplanted them only gained that skill much later in their history?
I'd always dismissed old folks groanings about how easy the kids have it compared to their day. I went all the way through K12 and university with a fairly heavy calculus component to my degree, without ever encountering the second derivative of y with respect to x, and I'm not exactly young. But this guy considers this to be "elementary" calculus, so his old elementary school must have been hard core.
By logical extension, failing to wind your windows down while driving should be illegal too. How far do you want to take this "logic"? Or do we set a sound attenuation limit, similar to the window tint limits in many jurisdictions, so you can wear earbuds as long as you wind your windows down to compensate?
Bluetooth? I guess it is more secure than the old GCM based authorization that they pulled some time back, but are people really letting their Browsers directly access hardware now? Or if you are using Chrome you don't have a choice?
Even if a country relied 100% on coal for electricity generation, the generators used in electricity generation have around 80% efficiency and are fitted with scrubbers to keep the non-steam emissions in their usually remote locations low, compared with an ICE that has around 40% efficiency and cannot afford as much space for devices to clean the exhaust properly before emitting it into residential areas.
The Australian standard was only updated in 2000 to mandate insulated live and neutral pins. Prior to that it was common for the conductors to be exposed before the contact was broken just like US plugs. Europe has a similar history, but probably an earlier date for the insulation to be mandated when the various countries standards were harmonised into the current Europlug, and I'm sure I've seen older UK plugs without insulated pins too (though they were probably first to do this).
PIN numbers were not put on the magstripe, at least not under any international standard since the 1980s that would work in ATMs. The PIN was a calculation combining a number derived from the card number, a number held by the bank, and an optional offset stored on the magstripe so that cardholders could set their own PIN.
US cards had been reissued several times since the rest of the world started using chip and PIN before the US finally switched to chip and signature. So early adoption really isn't an excuse. Other countries adopted credit cards when carbon paper imprints were the state of the art too, it didn't hold them back.
Didn't your mother teach you anything? Metric is for cocaine. If you go to your dealer asking for 30 grams of cannabis, they are going to look at you as if you're from Mars.
American manufacturers do not even bother trying to meet the emissions standards for diesel passenger cars. Their trucks can pass because the standards are relaxed for trucks, not because they are cleaner than the European manufacturers.
The battery chemistry of a lead acid battery is different than lithium ion, but consider also that it isn't just the battery that has problems with cold in ICE engines. Part of the problem is the battery itself, but also the battery has to do more work, as the engine is more difficult to get started in cold conditions, which is why in colder parts they have engine warmers to overcome this. Battery operated cars on the other hand can self heat the batteries, and charging them overnight helps with keeping them warm as well.
Most of its unique features are now part of the Gmail app
None of its unique features are part of the Gmail app, that is what makes them unique. There are rumours that some of the unique features like pinning, reminders and bundling are coming to Gmail real soon now, maybe in May when Google has a PR event planned. But if they acknowledge that those are good features to have in Gmail, then why are they shutting down inbox before they have implemented them there? Maybe they are relying on the short attention span of the average modern internets user so they can announce them as groundbreaking new features that we have never seen before.
You are absolutely wrong about that. His Bible can be used to justify any murderous act of hate by selecting any one of the contradicting verses out of context, including but not limited to murdering people for working on Sundays (Exodus 35:2)
I would like to know what cooling system you are using in your metal boxes to keep them within the -37 - 60 deg C temperature range at the side of Texas highways.
Most industrial grade components are rated for up to 85 deg C, but if that metal box is going to be in the sun, I'd opt for components that can handle 105 deg C if I were you.

Apparently the "just do what you're told and shut up about it" authoritarian muppets have got all the mod points today.

I would believe that having your hearing impaired by the earbuds would be included in this.
Were you guilty of driving with your windows closed on your commute this morning?
Bluetooth? I guess it is more secure than the old GCM based authorization that they pulled some time back, but are people really letting their Browsers directly access hardware now? Or if you are using Chrome you don't have a choice?
Most people aren't racist. They might at worse grumble and hold some prejudice views
So...they're racist, you're saying.
I'm more worried about the left identitarian stuff.
I had to look that up. Apparently it is a far-right and white nationalist movement that originated in France.

he UK and AU plugs don't allow for that.

Its trivial to redirect port 80 to a non-privileged port using iptables, so even the base process has no reason to be running as root.

Calm down, it is just an April Fool story. Everybody knows that nobody cares about the demise of Google+.

Instead we run anti-virus to hopefully catch some of the problems that might slip through the insecurities. How much overhead is that you ask?
