After the fiasco with The Little Prince I got the impression that a "Netflix Original" is something they have exclusive rights to in the United States, and that the term isn't any more specific than that.
A description of the little prince fiasco: an adorable animated movie released July 2015 by Paramount... in France. They dropped the ball a week before they were supposed to release in the United States (after advertising october, december, february, and finally may), and Netflix bought the US release rights for August 2016. When I finally got to watch it I was very much taken aback at the "Netflix Original" branding.
"the leaders of the tech companies don't see the darkness the FBI sees"
They see a different, more dangerous kind of darkness: one brought about by the FBI and law enforcement and the rest of the government itself. The 4th amendment and the broader right to privacy itself is supremely important to avoiding a tyrannical government.
This is more important than any benefit against terrorism and organized crime.
Can you even send a generic OSM link? I use osmAND but it seems like I can only share locations to other people that also use osmAND. Openstreetmap could be so much better but they seem too adverse to changes.
I had face unlock on my Note 2- in 2012. It is not well explained, but apparently faceid is supposed to work much better and faster (but doesnt?). It uses different technology I guess? So yeah.
My favorite smarter every day moment of all time is when someone gets a drinks stuck up in a tree and destin says "son, go get your rifle" and his aunt shoots the branch the drone is stuck on to get the drone down.
Signal has had perfect forward secrecy since at least 2013 https://signal.org/blog/asynch... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik... Given that WhatsApp uses the same signal protocol as signal itself, I would expect it to have perfect forward secrecy as well. But being owned by facebook, I don't trust WhatsApp anyway.
That asks the user first. I am 100% ok with that. Bonus points if I can tell it to run only when my phone is plugged in to charge.
We need replacements for intrusive and dangerous ads, and cryptocurrency mining is a good initial drop-in replacement. I hope other ad replacements happen as well.
I assumed he meant block rewards for the miners (who immediately cash out). Because you are right, transaction fees are paid in bitcoin, and miners who don't cash out become investors
If you want something not to count toward your narrative, you make it counts as something else. "yeah those movies happened, but this is the first one in this very specific subgenre so it is special somehow.
I don't think it is as malicious as that sounds though. I think it is more that people like to be a part of firsts. So any excuse to make something" the first time [such and such] has happened " will be jumped upon.
"I think it’s a far bigger problem than a lot of operators realize,” she told me. “I think we are losing money on delivery orders, or, best-case scenario, breaking even.”
You are selling two products: food and the delivery thereof. Being a restaurant for a while, the economics of food should be known already. If delivery is costing you more than it makes you, then you need to charge more for it. I don't see how all of these people are so confused.
It is possible that because your delivery fees are greater than a competitor's that you would lose a sale, and that's bad, but The New York we didn't even imply that. In fact, the only reason it could find that dripping deliveries altogether would be a bad idea was comparing it to crack, revenue they can't afford to lose. And yet it isn't actually making them marginal revenue?
Restrauntation is notorious for almost always failing; not being profitable. I think some of that is because the owners don't understand how this money stuff works.
"The Circle" with Emma watson? Basically a dystopia if Facebook and apple and Google were all one company and owned the world. They propose something like this in the movie. Never thought that would happen in real life. Guess I wasn't thinking about china.
Legislation? I thought the Paris deal was a treaty. An agreement with other countries. Presidents sign (or refuse) treaties, and then congress ratifies it. Or am I wrong?
Private companies should share more data with the U.S. government to prevent breaches, ha said.
How does THAT sound like a good idea? The NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY can't even keep it's own data secure, let alone other government agencies with other data. The only thing sharing more data with them will do is encourage more hacking of the government because it is easier than hacking the actual companies
...so maybe we should not allow companies to store vast repositories of personal data that is very bad if breached?
It's a whole paradigm shift that needs to happen. Similar to best-practices with passwords today: you should never be storing your clients' passwords. Hash them, salt them, (I don't have all best practices off the top of my head) - but the end result is if the password database is breached, it is not catastrophic. We need to make personal data the same.
One way I think is interesting is through homomorphic encryption- it is possible to do arbitrary operations on data without the server ever knowing the plaintext. This is the future.
I have been told that speed bumps being ineffective at higher speeds is actually a feature- a normal person who wants to go medium slow is now forced to go slow slow, but an emergency vehicle that has a siren blaring can go fast safely.
Of course, this also lets a normal driver just go fast as well, but trade offs are always made I guess?
Researchers say that authorities can fight such potential threats to self-driving car passengers by using an anti-stick material for street signs
Spend tons of money covering signs with sticker-proof material and you are again defeated by spray paint and stencils. Or by magnetic graffiti! This is not the most efficient way of thinking to remedy this problem.

So how do we fix it? How do we get a government that respects its citizens' privacy?

Be careful, there was a bro at Google that got into big trouble for saying virtually this exact thing.

Increase the delivery fee?

You get annoyed at studies "taking liberties" with statistics and then directly imply that correlation implies causation? Really?
Maybe you should not have considered that as your money in the first place? You have your life savings in something that is not risk-free. Oh well.
I'll have to find and read the book, thanks for the recommendation!

Why don't you just wake up earlier and go to bed earlier? That is *literally* what happens during daylight saving time anyway
