not defending them at all, they suck in their business/marketing practices for the most part.
But 5G benefits the carriers for sure, not the customers. More users per given infrastructure means lower cost per customer once installation cost is recovered. Pretty much exactly the same nature of benefit for them moving for 3g to 4g. I mean, one could stream HD video over 3G 12 years ago in many or even most areas that were low user count. Each generation give them more users, but no real change in conditions for the customer except perhaps in fewer clogged mobile networks in dense areas.
I have a number of close friends that are working musicians, indie types. Every one of them counts the recorded music sales these days (whatever format or method) as a promotional expense rather than an income opportunity. Their income is from live performance. Except for perhaps a tiny minority at the top of the charts, recorded music is dead as a moneymaker for working musicians.
yup, much like the oversampling used in the 40MP sensor in the Nokia 1020 from a few years back. Megapixels -can- be used to obtain higher quality, but the number does not indicate quality unto itself.
I'm senior sysadmin for a mid sized university system, the update times have increased dramatically since the switch to all rollup updates last fall, that a definitely observable fact. I personally have mixed feelings on it, it definitely speeds the initial patch cycle after a new build, but kinda sucks on machines that in production are patched monthly and likely don't require the full rollup, but the individual patches are no longer easily available. One adjustment we've had to make is to increase the allowable time window that we used to allow for patch installation via our SCCM delivered packages, as well as some minor adjustment of placement of patching windows within our scheduled maintenance windows to ensure that the patches complete in the allowed time.
I'm sure there will be absolutely no problem with injurious or deadly police actions taken based on false identification or bad backend database data at all wille there? (I've been a victim even using the explicit license plate scanners)
Did my time there in Orrick's Wheeling office as a central system architect supporting their worldwide offices, as an employee, not a contractor. They are one of the law firms encouraging and enabling large corporations to do this, one of their prime business lines is corporate human resources legal work, finding legal ways to remove benefits from employees, protecting corporations in labor disputes, etc. etc. Using a law firm that is one of the drivers of the growing contracting work force for the NPR feature is a really poor example. They also only have an office in Wheeling because of a cozy relationship between one of the senior partners and the former governor of WV that gave them a sweet deal tax wise on a decrepit old toothpaste tube factory where their office is located. Nicely redecorated inside of course.
Unless a LOT of shielding is included, unlikely for lightweight space hardware, These reactors will not be user serviceable on site, spent nuclear fuel and humans in close proximity don't get along very well. I'd expect these to be permanently buried when used.
random mechanical impacts not directed correctly to the target cannot cause a nuclear explosion, learning that was one of the toughest tasks of the Manhattan project, the nuclear stuff was pretty much solved, using explosives to set it off was the difficult part (for the plutonium bombs). Just like a power reactor physically cannot be made to undergo a nuclear explosion, it simply isn't possible/
Doing it this way, unannounced and underhanded is wrong. However, if done in an upfront and informed way I would likely accept some form of low impact mining on my PC while consuming content over most forms of advertisement.
the pocket of my pants where I keep the phone is private property, the data kept on the phone is private property, the computing environment on the phone used to access the data is private property.
No, it's consistent with previous rulings regarding GPS trackers without a warrant, which was ruled unconstitutional. They can get a warrant fairly easily if they actually have suspicion and are not on a fishing expedition, in some jurisdictions it can be done over the phone via an on-call local magistrate or judge. Same for GPS trackers. It's not that terribly large of a limitation actually.
The tech resurgence has also brought work for a lot of older tech talent that had concentrated in contract engineering and such here after the heavy manufacturing closed down. Lots of the sort of engineering support work such as in construction and indi=ustrial engineering stuck around here, just working for out of town contracts are being rejuvenated by the re-use and reconstruction happening here!
Yes, it's hilly, yes, the streets are cramped, yes, it's cloudy and rainy a lot, even perhaps more than Seattle lol, but it's a good place for tech workers these days.
Signed, a homie who had to move away for more than a decade for work but came back home!
only saying that the current administration isn't offering any prospects on improving the situation, that's all. The last administration didn't either.

So now we're developing a way to gamble using your event tickets? Like we needed another way to gamble?
Airlines build a pricing system that enables this sort of behavior then blames the customer for using it?

That's news to me

not likely with the "it's not our fault if it goes wrong" language in the EULA, unless you're prepared to lawyer up and fight that first. Good luck.

run of the mill insurance scam attempt, he likely picked out the self driver because he knew the corporate owners would have deep pockets.

redundancy can be built into a single unit too

fair from a technical standpoint. But why not actually tell users, or at least technical resources that might help users, about doing this?

you know that convicted murderers frequently are paroled in less than 10 years right?
yes, and up to 75 years in prison for broken windows and damaged vehicles is perfectly appropriate and not "cruel and unusual" right?
A burner won't help if it's confiscated on arrest and they use it to corroborate your location history. NO PHONE is really the only answer here.
