"I don't give a shit what happens. I want you all to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, cover up or anything else, if it'll save it, save this plan. That's the whole point. We're going to protect our people if we can." -- Nixon, Statement to Haldeman, in tapes ordered released for the trial of Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Mitchell
Bloomberg ran an article titled Elon Musk's Funding for Tesla Wasn't So Secure where they pointed out when Musk said "funding is secured" there was no actual agreement in place. His statement being factually untrue risked causing this SEC investigation.
So the great thing about taking your company public is that you get to deal with members of the public owning your company.
I feel like any smart investor would have seen Zuckerberg being dragged up in front of congress and known that big changes were afoot for the de facto leader of social media.
So what's the basis for the lawsuit - facebook leadership didn't disclose they were in trouble? They just did disclose they're in trouble, that's why the stock price crashed and why you're angry. Hope the investor has some good evidence for the court because this suit seems frivolous.
Is their business model going to be kill someone in a criminally negligent fashion, pull up stakes and move to a different state? Will they run out of states or fix their technology first?
My yearly PIA subscription went through a day or two ago and I considered cancelling the service. If they use some money to fund worthy ventures like this, I feel better about keeping my subscription active.
Linux Journal gave me my first experience programming libSDL, I was bummed out when I heard the news it was shutting down.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Millenials are being saddled with giant student debt loads at the same time they are being expected to pay forward to social assistance programs that are being utilized by boomers on their slow shuffle off the planet.
The megacorps that own America can't have it both ways -- they can't pressure wages downward with the threat of outsourcing and then expect the oppressed people to cough up for expensive entertainment, whether it's movie tickets, sit down restaurants, or live sporting events. All those industries claim to be suffering but what did they expect? People, especially young people, are losing their ability to spend on trivialities.
I don't think there will be a new browser war where Firefox or some other competitor re-captures market share from Chrome. It's like launching a new and improved horse in the year 2017. We all drive cars now.
But people still use Chrome???
He's not going to even bother competing with Chrome because he wants to take on Android?!!! Is that what he's saying?!
Any investors in Mozilla should be pulling their money ASAP
I was not trying to troll. This project is right up my alley and I've been using raspberry pi's recently as octoprint servers for my 3D printer. Turning one of my spares into a voice recognition box is interesting to me, which is why I was disappointed that it seemed to be a black box device sending data to "the cloud" in the worst traditions of IoT devices.
It's clearly not the entire source code for the raspbian distro they are distributing, but it does suggest that there is an "Embedded Assistant API" that might run locally on the pi without internet connectivity.
I'm still reserving judgement until we hear feedback from the brave souls who build this kit.
The theme is to DIY an AI project but all you are DIYing is a box that sends audio to google's servers to interpret and send back.
I saw on HackADay that they may have promised you can do it all on-device but nobody has confirmed that.
The whole thing seems like they are trying to convince techies/makers that it's a good idea to have an always-on microphone in their home and the tech press is parroting it. The Google Home and Amazon Alexa products are creepy as f**k
I wonder how this case relates to the "diagnostics and usage" option that many software packages ask you to enable. Did they settle just because they never presented the user with that deliberately opaque checkbox?
Apple is winning against these requests from the government, but barely. Wikipedia says that a judge ruled in their favour in Brooklyn, but in the most publicized case - the case of the San Bernadino terrorists, the FBI withdrew their request rather than have Apple's objection decided on by the judge.
Dragging these assholes into the sunlight and making their methods a matter of public record makes things better for everybody.
From my vantage point, the public wants net neutrality and the cable companies don't. If the cable companies want to give preferential treatment to content providers that pay them off, they should lose common carrier status with all the liability that entails.
The US constitution says that everyone is created equal, which is a huge difference from stating that everyone is equal. If it said everyone was equal, that would be communism.

Fermentation gives off CO2, I think it would be damn near impossible to fuel the process using CO2

The absence of Microsoft from mobile device platforms is really weird.
From what I understand their current CEO is much less of a clown than Monkey Boy Ballmer was. They should be able to break into this market.
They need to stop their cycle of release > fail > abandon. Windows CE > Pocket PC > Windows Mobile > Windows Phone > Windows 10 Mobile
I'm dumb, this was a former CTO and moz is a non-profit

It's the principle of the thing.
