People here are ignoring the fact that pretty much everything except the battery, the logic board, and the Touch ID parts of an iPhone get reused.
Jesus Christ, you'd think from reading this that Apple literally shreds locked iPhones. In fact, iPhones probably are recycled more than any other phone because of the fact that its parts are ultra-valuable.
What is bias? Does "bias" mean "not a white male?"
In Asia, AI training data is almost exclusively Asian. That means results will skew Asian. Is that evidence of algorithmic bias? How would you go about determining that?
Engineers with ethics? Will the wonders never cease?
In any case the goog staff are wrong. You need a diversity of opinions, not a diversity of genders and skin tones. AI will happen, do they want to do it right or let someone else do it badly?
Nobody in real life cares about what people call Net Neutrality.
In reality, NN is about corporations trying to force other corporations to pay for infrastructure and access. Everything else is just a sideshow, and it's pathetic how so-called geeks have gotten suckered into taking sides in this fight.
There is no protection against a 51% attack that wipes the entire ledger.
People focus on the supposed "incorruptibility" aspect of blockchain, but with 51% of the network you can erase it completely. That's the real problem, that an actor could theoretically wipe the whole chain out, start-to-finish.
"You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike."
In short, it's too complicated for this person to understand, which is not saying that it's insecure. They're basically saying that it's un-auditable by this particular individual.
The question is, was that part of the requirements? I mean, most computer systems are incomprehensible to managers, but management understanding isn't generally a requirement.
The FDA has somewhat strict labeling guidelines for supplement makers, in that they're not supposed to say that the supplement cures a specific disease or condition. "Label" extends to websites and advertisements as well.
That said, the FDA doesn't actively scan the world for structure/function claim violations. Even then, it's unclear what authority the FDA has when it comes to actually prosecuting structure/function claim violations.
You would think that those would fall under the FTC, not the FDA, since structure/function claims really are more false advertising.
FYI, the downside to structure/function claims is that there's apparently no process or criteria for showing that your structure/function claim is actually valid. The FDA will back down if you register your claim, though, which is more confusing.
Reporters learning to code? Given the state of journalism today they'll just go to stackoverflow and copy the top 8 answers into the file and call it done.

LDS speeds up the refresh rate of your brain. You might "see" the object every 50ms normally. With LSD you "see" the object every 5ms; you're paying more attention more often, and we measure time by attention. 10x more views = 10x more time, give or take.
I've forgotten to charge my BT headphones, or just plain forgot my BT headset, or forgotten my dongle so many times that I just bought a couple of old iPods, converted them to flash, and carry them around with me.
I could care less about waterproofing. I dropped or placed my iPhone in water like 0 times in the last 11 years.
After evaluating my iPhone usage, I'll be moving back to an iPhone SE this year. I'll miss the camera, but I have a real camera that I can carry around now.
They're actually hunting down the Hays 300 baud modems with acoustic couplers. There's nothing like the challenge of shoving that into an iPhone form factor. I mean, how engineer are you?
Friends: 236 episodes, which at a generous 50 minutes/episode comes out to about 492 content hours. That's 20 days of 24-hour-a-day watching. 4 hours a day = 123 days of watching.
That's assuming that it's all worth watching.
When you're a kid that's unsupervised or watching in the background, that's 4 hours a day for almost half of the school year. That's not much.
If you watch kids watch TV today, they watch TV in a completely non-linear way. They fast forward through stuff, rewind scenes and rewatch them, and essentially re-edit the show to what fits whatever's in their heads.
The older kids have literally run out of TV; they've watched all the shows on Netflix.
Once that happens to a large segment of the population the problem will be coming up with enough content to fill their day. How do you engage them? TV as we know it today isn't the answer.
What's the point of having a Netflix subscription if you've watched everything? What's the point of HBO if there's nothing there? What's the point of network TV when you can just wait and watch all the shows you want in a day?
A friend of mine is actually experimenting with microfiction, in an engagement experiment. It's been pretty fun so far, but does that work at scale?
Wow, it's almost as bad as having a hotmail account. I mean seriously, it's 2018. A yahoo email address? Did he get it so he could do email push with the iPhone 1?
Shouldn't the end-user get a percentage of that fine? That would make me want to almost sign up, just until I could validate the caller. Then whack, I get $5k. That would be awesome.

Low-income shoppers steal. It's called shrinkage. They will thrive in a no-cash environment.
They wear the monitor and consent to it's use. Or they can stay at the Big House. Where's the lack of consent exactly?

This is sustainable development. Why bother re-designing new shit when the old stuff is fine?
The title implies that component re-use is a bad thing. When has it even been bad to re-use components that work?

NN isn't about the consumer, it's about who pays.
The internet was built around two basic principles: links are free and you can upload everything and sort out the mess later.
Now really, what's the rationale behind charging for a hyperlink, even if no content is displayed? Greed? Stupidity? Idiocy?
I suppose this is European content providers trying to build a wall around their "internet?"
Jesus, one blogger mouths off and one reddit user mouths off and suddenly it's an issue?
Seriously, who gives a shit?

Someone somewhere else pointed out that nicotine substitutes (patch, gum) don't work as well as you would think.

It's inappropriate for everyone except those at the top, right?
To get into a concert you have to agree to their ToS, which explicitly allows them to record/capture images and likenesses.
It's not spying if you consent.

It seems as if GNU has been infected with NIH.
Have they heard the good news about Open Source? They can take someone else's code and build on it.

Adapt or die, as the saying goes.
