"Mostly it's the timing," Anthony Lomelino, the Chief Technology Officer for Cali Group told the paper. "When you're in the back, working with people, you talk to each other. With Flippy, you kind of need to work around his schedule. Choreographing the movements of what you do, when and how you do it."
Yeah, that sounds like a great place to work. Take one of the only pleasant things about working at a fast food restaurant - socializing with your friends/coworkers - and then tell them to knock it off and just serve the robot.
Six months from now, they're going to have trouble hiring anyone.
My go-to app for discovering new TV shows and movies is called “friends and coworkers”. There’s often enough information to be found there which makes it easier for me to decide whether or not a show sounds interesting.
If I can’t find it there, though, I generally go to the “extended family” app. I’ve discovered a few gems thanks to that service.
I was listening to TWIT the other day, and one of the panelists (whose name I unfortunately am not recalling) mentioned that he's asked Amazon a couple times whether their devices are tracking speech at times other than when prompted by the word "Alexa" - and they've pointedly not answered.
And for those who dismiss this idea with "you can monitor whether a device is always listening by checking when it's transmitting" - if one were intending to surreptitiously collect or monitor speech, it would be a simple enough matter to collect it on-device but only transmit it when "official" queries occur. It's not as if storing speech requires lots of memory.
Conferences would probably be better if they were smaller but more dedicated. That would limit networking a little bit, but if you had smaller and more regional conferences the quality and usefulness of networking would probably be higher.
The Wordpress community does this somewhat well. From the point of view of the Wordpress end user, I'd say that WordCamps do an excellent job.
It's unfortunate they don't offer as much which covers the administration end, which could be useful to those of us who have to manage these installations. Certainly there's lots of info out there on the web... but I've found, when it comes to most any type of tech work I've had to do, I've learned as much (or more) just talking to other admins as I've learned from reading.
Anyway, it sounds like just one more unnecessary thing in the car that will cost a nice markup to fix.
Exactly what I was thinking. Headlights are expensive enough to replace already - plus, making them more complicated will almost certainly increase the frequency they need to be replaced.
Not that Benz owners aren't already used to paying through the nose for simple car repairs...
I suspect the video is a couple years old - the linked channel doesn’t seem to do any of its own original work, so it probably just recently got the rights to the short subject.
Given that police are able to use Stingrays for monitoring and intercepting traffic, why would anyone believe the protocol was otherwise secure?... anyone other than members of Congress, I mean.

It does seem like the developers lost interest in dealing with bug reports or looking at RFEs shortly after Facebook moved into the space.
I should also mention that both apps include social chat functionality which people often use to compare notes after watching something.

Q isn't the same as O! In fact, it's two better!
Of course, I did mount it on a black wall...
I guess I'll have to go play with my kids or talk to my wife.
Now, now, calm down - let's not do anything TOO drastic.
I'd like a magical pony. I know magic doesn't exist, but that shouldn't mean I can't get a magical pony.
When I asked Siri the same thing, she responded "here's what I found on the web regarding 'are ewe's glistening?'.

Everything Microsoft does is EEE
In 2003, we legitimately had to worry about Microsoft's "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" predilections.
But, in 2018, Microsoft is too busy with just trying not to be an afterthought in pretty much everything except desktop computers.
However the San Diego Clippers have noticeably become very anti-Linux the past several years.

I wonder if anyone, anywhere actually has the official title "head honcho"? Because that would be cool.

The internet being what it is... I'm too afraid to test your theory out.
Especially on the first one.
I can't speak for you; but I suspect most people don't have any trouble identifying either of those things - no Google assistance required.
It’s not how I’d choose to spend my own free time; but if this is what they enjoy doing - then more power to them.
It’s the year of Diaspora on the desktop!
Maybe the companies should have thought about that before trying to game the rules against the interests of the people who make the rules.
There's an old saying - "it takes two to tango".
But it's nice to know that enlightened European companies never try to take advantage of loopholes in the various European countries' tax laws.
That's not even remotely aimed at the same audience. That Alienware box looks like it's as thick as three MacBook Airs, stacked one on top of another.
The XPS 13 is designed more along the same lines as an Air - and still has an SD slot and a headphone jack.
