This message ostensibly was sent to every cell phone in Hawaii - didn't the guy who "pushed the wrong button" get the alert as well?
And seriously - their first thought when sending out a correction was a Tweet? Don't they have the ability to send an "all clear" over the same channel they sent the "LOOK OUT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE!!!" message?
Facebook has well over a billion users - if you’re going to claim “Facebook” = “surveillance state”, you’re going to need to rope in a few more western nations.
While this is technically accurate... The company Rovi bought TiVo, then rebranded itself as TiVo. So it’s somewhat funny to think about the existence of a “Rovi subsidiary”.
”Shmoel already backtracked on similar showroom promises in 2016, and his CES pronouncement of future shops included no hard confirmations of locations or dates.”
Well, the name “Future Shop” was already taken... so of course he had problems./rimshot
You might want to read the entire article you’re linking to, since it doesn’t seem to support the narrative you are trying to posit. Especially this line:
”The results of these checks don't give a picture of how accurate the given age of all asylum seekers in Sweden is, as the checks have only been carried out in cases where there was reason to doubt the person's given age.”
So your statement that “most of the 'child refugees' they were admitting were over 18” is, in fact, not what the article says. Instead, what it does say is in those cases where the Swedish authorities suspected the person’s age was not in fact under 18, it turns out their suspicions were correct.
The authorities were doing their job, in other words.
In fact, the story doesn’t actually even claim these people were intentionally lying. It states that one possible explanation is that, during the eighteen months between the time the applications were originally filed and when they were considered, those people had simply aged past eighteen.
When congress yet again passes the buck on this law it will be up to the President to step up and order those restrictions and reporting be put into place.
Unfortunately one of the few examples of bipartisanship coming out of Washington over the past decade or so has been the continual support for the erosion of Americans' rights in the name of fighting terrorism.
For a runner up, French which is widely spoken in Africa and is expected to eventually become the most widely spoken language in the world due to good improving health care in Africa.
The only people who believe this live either in Quebec or in France. The rest of the world wrote off French a century ago.
All we know about the satellite itself is that it was destined for a low-Earth orbit and built for the U.S. government.
Well, it did achieve low-earth orbit... just somewhat lower than planned, and its tidally locked with the planet. But it's still orbiting once every 24 hours.
I'd like to think I'm past the "ooh, I want the new shiny" thing - more or less. Going forward, my "new phone" budget is going to be roughly $500, and it's going to be spent every 3-4 years.
But, in any case, this reads like a hit piece. "Tech writer goes into a story with an agenda, manages to confirm it."

Well, that helps explain why the quality of my TiVo service has been going down the toilet since the takeover.

Of course, you have no idea whether this is the “best evidence” they have or not, given this submission is only about the tech angle.

Apparently, two Firehose submissions of the same exact story from a right-wing website qualifies as "burning up the Firehose".

Most senior citizens don’t have copious amounts of spare cash - so this first really needs to filter down to the low end of the automotive market.
They felt no need to state the very obvious implication - "of course, in a month they will no longer be *our* systems".

Has anyone blamed Clinton for this one yet?
Why, did it happen at a pizza parlor?
Birds make the very best nano-engineers... and they work for next to nothing! Just keep a pile of loose garbage next to their desks and they're happy.

Please tell me that wasn’t a typo!

No, there's no irony there at all - not even in the manner "irony" gets misused sometimes.
