On it's Android platform is scanning every single url your phone is accessing and feeding those URLs into it's spider.
How do I know? I am developing an Android app which has NEVER been released, thus the website URLs used are supposed to be 100% private. Google's spider has been scanning every single one of my private website urls as accessed by my private Android app.
drives them out of hosting user-generated content entirely due to the risk of damages from prosecution for hosting libel, hate speech, or facilitating sex trafficking and child pornography.
- Um, "hosting libel?" Really? While I have no doubt libel exists on FB do we hold AT&T accountable for libel communicated over their phone system? Or GM accountable for libel said in their vehicles? None starter...
- Hate speech? You have to be joking. No I suspect you are not. Why don't you just spit the truth out and say you prefer censorship. Forget the 1A because obviously free speech is hate speech.
- Sex trafficking? Huh? I hardly think the best apple pie recipe ever created qualifies as sex trafficing.
- Child pornograhpy? Honestly why am I even wasting electrons on this?
Look, I don't particularly care for Facebook but you're whack-a-doodle....
There seems to be a false nostalgia per the Model M concerning it's durability. Heavy and stout do not equal infinite lifetime.
In the mid 1990s my first Model M flaked out on me so I would spend a bit of time at Weirdstuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale waiting on new old inventory to show up. I was literally buying them for $15 at that time.
Then one day I went in and they had a Model M and it was offered at an outrageous price, as I remember, at least compared to what I had previously paid. That's when I quit buying them at Weirdstuff. If I am going to pay a premium price I want a real assurance that it's gonna work out the door.
Ultimately I bought four more Model Ms. And of the five I own now only one works flawlessly.
Especially violent crimes like murder and armed robbery have been going down since the mid 90s.
Just checked that assertion. It is not true. What actually happened is it skyrocketed after 1995, peaked, then began to fall. Reaching levels similar to 1995 levels around the 2010 time frame.
You could easily find that out by using Google and taking a look at the statistics
Easy for you to say, but per my brief, which denotes easy, search a vast majority of the crime statistics data seemingly does not exist after 2010ish time frame.
Overall I'm not implying the poster you are replying to is correct and you are incorrect, I just don't see any solid evidence your assertions are correct.
There is NO way you cannot tell me those money grubbing hacks @ Google would not hire 100% purple poka-dotted zebras if purple poka-dotted zebras made them more profitable.
The fact is that there are significant cultural differences between demographic segments. And there is NOTHING wrong with that.
But, ultimately it translates into only 2.5% of the black population cuts the mustard at Google. It's not Google's issue, it's black culture as a wholes' issue.
When the percentage of black people or Latina's or females who value schooling and work ethics like oriental people do then you will automatically see a reversal of these numbers.
Governments, corporations, and educational facilities should not be in the business of cultural modification because we all know, assuming we are honest, that family and extended family/friends are the ultimate cultural arbitrator.
That type of change is what made me move away from Firefox as well. Seemingly every other version they move all the buttons around. And I don't want to hear the crap about "Go into config;???" or whatever to configure it the way you want. Let the people who want the damn thing to change every week go into the config settings and they do the change. Don't put the burden on me, I never asked for it.
Ha ha ha. Good one. Exactly one good flu epidemic will set humankind back potentially thousands of years. That epidemic may not be that bad, but a bad one will happen and there will be some serious societal adjustments that more than likely will preclude your rabbit hole.
If you are developing algorithms to predict let's say possible criminal behavior and it ultimately predicts higher crimes among those who actually commit more crime then you you have one of three choices 1) Keep it and use it responsibly or 2) Throw it away and eat your development costs or 3) Neuter it to the point of it not working, thus you fail.
Google's corporate 767 also is based at local Moffett Field. Moffett Field is home to many burrowing owls.
The question is exactly how many burrowing owls have personally been killed by Eric Schmidt? When he could drive the extra 6 miles to San Jose International and fly out of that airport.
Just because 40 cell phone trackers were "found" in DC area doesn't mean you, Slashdot reader, are the target. Let's face it if you are reading this you probably aren't worth the bandwidth to track.
My Mother is 75 years old and has never had a cold. These people should be poking and prodding her. And if she exists then surely she isn't the only person with this resistance out there.
After being nagged a LOT and worrying about MS wiping out a current session i been working on for a while I bit the bullet and installed the durn thing.
Now I'm sitting here wondering if it's gonna screw up due to my SSD.
> but most towns don't have the expertise to put up a good one. I'm really not sure that Google is a good alternative
I've seen in Mountain View what Google calls their public internet provided by them. It isn't pretty. In fact it is terrible.
Not a fan of ATT or Verizon, but at least they have a profit motive to actually provide something that at least works somewhat.. Versus a non-working Google setup.
As evidenced by Google's refusal to do business with payday loan and bail bondsmen.
Or evidenced by Google's conveniently leaving out the ability for Google home to answer "Who is Jesus Christ?"
Which is all personally fine by me because if Google refuses to do business with certain segments of the population there certainly will be others who will.....
Abortion, as exercised by places like the Chinese Government against its' own citizens, i.e., forced abortion, is far from a laughing matter, And in many families there it can be considered an affront to their personal sensibilities. Such as those who are Christian.
I have no doubt that in some context, as spoken by Mr. Stallman: "glibc is not strictly a technical project" is quite true. There most likely have, or are, Chinese citizens who feel they have been personally negatively impacted by horrendous abortion policies.
It appears Mr. Stallman may need to broaden his horizons to understand that not all people live in a free society. What is acceptable in some contexts is not acceptable in other contexts.
I would assert Mr. Stallman is effectively "reverse-censoring" his abortion joke.
You are certainly welcome to disagree with any, or all of the above, that I have noted. And personally I do not care either way, I am simply the messenger that not all jokes are appropriate worldwide.

Having a hard time distinguishing farce from fact on your post, either way I LIKE IT!
Android, the OS itself, it one huge piece of spyware. Don't limit it to just Chinese produced items.
Google,
On it's Android platform is scanning every single url your phone is accessing and feeding those URLs into it's spider.
How do I know? I am developing an Android app which has NEVER been released, thus the website URLs used are supposed to be 100% private. Google's spider has been scanning every single one of my private website urls as accessed by my private Android app.
So, this crap is not limited to China.

I believe your evaluation is spot on.

Because it cannot be done!

Google is an evil company, no doubt!
Um, Why hasn't a concerted effort been made to build a berm uphill from the power plant to divert the lava?

Just stop, nobody wants this but those who live to make everyone else's life miserable.
Please just stop..
