It's illegal and hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs to the collapse of so many retailers at Amazon's predatory price dumping practices.
Amazon has destroyed more jobs than created. Of course they can pay $15 an hour today -- they're building robots to unemploy those people as fast as possible.
I don't understand laborers taking jobs for Amazon on anymore than a temporary emergency subsistence basis. Work for a shitty company that is trying to automate their way out of employing you (e.g. Uber as well). That doesn't make any sense.
Both Juniper and Palo Alto use Cavium ARM processors in their hardware, usually for management plane tasks (FPGAs and ASICs do the heavy traffic processing on high end units). And ARM SoCs are popular for switches and routers where raw compute power isn't necessary. Certainly Cisco is the only one willing to stick with low end, neglected Intel Atom offerings even after the Nexus 9k, ISR 4k, And ASA 55x6 series got bit by defective Atom C2000s (sorry bro, your $55k switch just died because of a $41 CPU).
So ARM is great anytime you don't care about CPU processing power, but still want to move data -- storage appliances and network. Which is odd given that in the mobile space the few Atom x86 Android phones to reach the market had lesser raw CPU benchmarks than their ARM contemporaries at the time, yet in actual usage felt much smoother because of wider / faster buses and superior throttling (Had a Zenfone 2 with the Atom and it's still smoother than a lot of Snapdragon 6xx midrange phones).
That should lead straight to a conversation that either their IT people were idiots or your son is a high functioning 1337 hacker genius. Either way, nothing for them to punish him over.
GPS is computationally and radio expensive on the battery. You should not have access to it while in deep doze. Plus this helps as a psuedo-security measure to help prevent apps from harvesting continuous location data from users.
What exactly is your use case for which you need full precision location information while the user is not using the phone?
The 4x10 work week is great for people with low to moderate stress desk jobs. It's awesome because they work the same cycle of 1.5-3 high productivity hours each day and the rest filler, faffing, and socializing. The huge WLB benefit is having a weekday to deal with all the bullshit personal business which is not available after hours or on the weekend (e.g. every interaction with state and similar -- all the shit businesses working banker's hours).
It's an awful idea in healthcare, emergency services, and law enforcement; the same applies to 3x12/4x12 cycling hot in healthcare specifically. The only reason it's being pushed in those fields successfully is each one of those lacks oversight, accounting, and personal responsibility for mistakes up to and including death of those being served. And it's just piles of additional days off for those people who corner themselves (accident I swear) into as much overtime as the bosses will let them get away with.
Side note: these remarks apply to the US. I've heard the rest of the world is mostly more reasonable and people who work public service jobs are actually interested in public service rather than Cadillac pension plans.
Let's not forget that when they talk about Millenials having less money -- it's only because of 3-4 things (not this horseshit line about the financial crisis): 1) Houses are under hyperinflation (relative to income) for 2+ decades. -- As far as I can tell mostly because Millenials will pay whatever a house is selling for. 2) College has been under hyperinflation for just under 2 decades. -- As far as I can tell because we were scared into college as a requirement and (most) our parents would pay whatever it was selling for. 3) Cars have gone under significant but not unmanageable inflation for just under 2 decades. -- They're safer and last longer. Financially a draw 4) Short lifespan PC / smartphone / electronics / appliance proliferation (and the need to own more different / specialty electronics). Sure a quality VHS VCR costs $1k in current dollars, but it was meant to last 6+ years, not 6-18 months like the average DVD or Blu-ray player. -- Because keeping up with the Joneses is now about how many different things you have doing pointless tasks in your home rather than general purpose computer + AV receiver + TV that did everything (Echo/Dot/Chromecast/Roomba/Soundbar/Nest/tablet/laptop/gamingPC/smartphone/etc.)
Classic "stay in your lane" problem. Though I would be surprised if Sennheiser even did the application development in house. Vastly more likely they either bought some of the not-quite-COTS customizable middleware stuff and had it branded or they contracted out to someone in southeast asia who pulled a, "needfully provide root cert to install drivers and sign packages".
Ross Perot got pretty close, but by and large his party was eviscerated by the large chunk of his voters who preferred Bush Sr. and realized they caused Bill's election.
That's where the lesser of two evils doctrine in US elections got reiterated to the American public.
We need a voting option which carries weight -- No Confidence which can disqualify existing candidates. Third party in the US is a wasted vote 9/10 elections. The last time it was relevant, it was Ross Perot, and it caused Bill Clinton to get elected when most of the voters in that election would have chosen George Bush Sr. given a 2 way option. And as much as people liked Bill due to economic growth he had little to do with, they seem to have completely missed his foreign policy blunders which arguably, Bush Sr. was better proven.
The cute thing is this actually degrades some of YT's advertising value. Most marketing money comes out of the infinite supply of US companies to sell to US consumerist tendencies. Southeast Asia may have huge economies, but they aren't such fools with how much their advertisers will pay per eyeball.
I want to make a joke about China users taking the lead once the state sponsored Mao Now! channel launches, but obsession with the little red books isn't what it once was.
High speed trading looking for a timing edge has already upgraded to shortwave which traverses an even shorter distance (bouncing through the lower atmosphere) right at the speed of light.
Right, but as a matter of history, before the DirectTV acquisition, AT&T and Dish had a strong relationship. Some of DIsh's shoddy business practices, like not acknowledging returned set top boxes and trying to fraudulently bill customers for them probably soured the relationship. Getting into content ownership and buying DirectTV are parallel and intertwined efforts which have given AT&T explicit reason to act with malice towards Dish.
I wouldn't have sympathy for Dish if not for the fact that AT&T is equally shitty actor in the space AND now using oligopoly methods to attack competitors and enrich their portfolio..
Exactly why AT&T shouldn't be able to control both content and distribution as a matter of anti-trust (same for Comcast et. al.). At one time they had a very cozy relationship including combined billing with Dish, as Dish although a distribution channel, was effectively content for consumers.
AT&T is playing hardball because they would rather take $15 direct while making extra cash on the backend providing consumer bandwidth necessary for the service. No reason to let Dish charge $15 or $20 and only give them $10. Plus getting people off Dish only serves to get more people on AT&T U-verse / DSL as well as convincing customers to kick their bandwidth package up a notch to handle multiple people streaming instead of getting HBO or Cinemax over satellite.
Equally so, we can be assured that 4k and 8k content streaming are going to be pushed by AT&T and Comcast through their content networks as a way to make consumers pay for bigger bandwidth and usage packages. Zero rate native content against caps, but choke the bandwidth until they get better than base internet speed.
Appreciate the education on lack of corruption in NZ, I was not aware.
That said, your remark seems to echo the NZ got the wool pulled over their eyes sentiment. What will happen once with greater enablement in their children, the people realize the privacy implications of their decision?
Well the reason for such powerful computing would be machine learning, AI, and rich interaction in the home. Voice recognition with excellent quality and intent management (i.e. Dragon Naturally Speaking as it ran on sub-GHz CPUs brought into today's computational regime).
The current software giants have explicitly said you may NOT *own* such software because ye ole Microsoft model led to people going too many years on plenty good enough Windows XP / 7 and Office 2003/2010. You will be advertised to, you may not own software for advanced use, and you will comply with this new order, or suffer as a disenfranchised luddite.
Not sure about that. Recently rolling out revocable and expiring emails seems like exactly the right thing to do if you're wanting to sell out ethically questionable services and not sure your employees will comply with an order to destroy evidence.
I am sure the argument is there are free / freemium / F/OSS games in every genre. Just like playing soccer with a rubber gym ball, you can develop some skills, but to play professionally, you will have to invest in much more expensive regulation gear.
A kid can always learn some FPS skills on shareware Wolfenstein 3D or OpenArena.
I'm lately seen value in just barring online platforms from targeted advertising. This makes the collection of private data useless. Concurrently it immediately halts the issues with proven violations of Equal Employment and Equal Housing rights.
I have automatic updating turned off (all of it, Apps & OS). I have manual updating set for Wifi only.
Explain to me then why over the last year I have caught Instant Apps updating on 4G LTE at least 3 times. Those are the times I was looking at my phone and found it was doing this. I managed to catch a screenshot a couple times. How many more times is Google forcing updates which I have explicitly opted out of?

I don't see what's wrong. It's a similar scenario as the prison -- limited scope and the not bringing unintended harm.

PG&E among others are soon to be dealing with many trials surrounding various California wildfires they caused.
The timing of noticing this data loss could be that evidence of power companies' neglect can be found in decades old Enron docs.
How long until they close the loop and add a headset hooked into AI to control the employees every move?

Yeah, I found it weird New Zealand would choose Google given their strong attachment to personal privacy.
As with any sale this size though, it's usually about the kickbacks.
