...when it's way easier just to blame Russia. Lots of American's will jump on board with this. Russian hacking is the bad guy, we're the good guys. Now we can all just ignore that fact that US corporations are constantly targets because of horrible security policies and crappy management.
"What's the solution? Well, it's not "Switch to AMD chips". Once, AMD chips didn't have this kind of mystery code hidden inside it, but even the latest Ryzen processors are not totally open."
Directly from the article.
The service is setup so Amazon unlocks the doors, the delivery person puts your package down just inside the door, and he closes the door. All on camera. If he goes off camera, he's fired. It's really that simple.
Yes, because the threat of job lose always keeps people from doing stupid things. If the person comes in your house destroys something and leaves, sure he'll be fired. Amazon will mostly likely pay out for you also. You are still left with the effects though.
The threat of jail doesn't keep people from committing crimes. The threat of job lose doesn't keep someone from cracking for a moment and doing something stupid. I prefer that if they do crack that it not be in my home.
The first two words of the article are really "Absolutely Incredible!"? It's news. It's interesting. Incredible? I don't know if I'd say it's absolutely incredible that two companies are working together to bring a product to the market. I think PCWorld might be a bit to excited about this and forgot about actual journalism.
The cost of education has skyrocketed to the point that it may have just become a bad investment. The cost of graduate degrees if one is required to get student loans to complete leaves you with years and years of debt. If you aren't lucky enough to land a high paying job as soon as you complete you degree you are left struggling to make the investment in education worth it. Basic economics-high cost means people won't buy. Numbers will most likely continue to fall as cost rises.
No, if you type 3+3 and then hit x you get the answer of 3+3 = 6, then you "x" and "3" you get 18. You are asking the calculator what is 3+3 and then asking it to multiply that answer by 3. This is working as designed because it's not a scientific calculator.
If you simply switch to Scientific in the options, you can use "( )" and/or other functions to put in a formula. As far as I know the standard Apple calculator does not a scientific option.
The user is in error if they want 3+3 * 3 in a non scientific calculator and start hitting buttons.
I know in my local area Uber is much valued service that most people love having around. I hear co-workers, friends, and even random people around that all talk about how great Uber is to have around. I have tried out being a driver and it was a good experience. I tried it for a few weeks and just found it wasn't for me and didn't really need it as extra income, but overall there was nothing really negative about the experience.
Is it just the "nerd/geek" culture that seems to be completely fired up anytime there is a piece of bad news or another lawsuit against Uber? If so, why does the tech community seemed to be so targeted on Uber? Loads of companies, tech industry or not, are getting sued all the time. What is it about Uber that grabs our attention?
Or is this just a Slashdot thing? Slashdot does seem to love an Uber story.
I was confused a bit on how this was managed. I decided to pull up the Wikipedia article on Singapore. Here is the exact quote from Wikipedia
"Singapore is a unitary multiparty parliamentary republic, with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government."
I'm sure there is someone out there with a higher intelligence that might be able to explain that. I need a aspirin for my headache after reading that twice.
I have never had an accident does not equal you are a good driver.
I have never had an accident does not mean you have not caused others to have one.
I have never had an accident does not mean that in the future you will not have one.
Your argument is invalid.
If you'd like to use this on your phone, tablet, etc. You are beat.

The companies are not going to be at all accepting of a standard. The only real edge they will have over each other is what services and accounts they are tied too. The assistants are all going to have the same features. If you use Google accounts and services, you'll stick with Google. What's going to happen is the consumer will get screwed and if they want to use Google for services, Amazon for retail and Apple for entertainment they will have to buy three different devices.
I'd much rather the consumers stop using closed systems, and/or demanding interoperability than the government regulating it. I know this is a fantasy. It would be nice if the consumers had higher expectations of companies like AOL and Facebook.

Any average user most likely just sticks with the browser that comes with the phone. Most "power" users won't use Edge anyway. I can't see a large base of installs on iOS or Android for this.
Doesn't this person deserve the right not to have their identity known? They have not (as far I as I know) committed a crime or being investigated for a criminal act.
I'm sure the motivation behind remaining anonymous is for his own safety and well being. If someone has not released their identity on purpose, and even more so gone to lengths to keep it private why is anyone trying to find out who he is.
Sure there's an interest level there. There's quite possibly a lot to learn, but at what cost?
I know most of these points are completely obvious and the answers are also unfortunately obvious, but it needs to be said anyway.

Ok, I'll bite..I'm stupid Someone explain to me what "bespoke typeface" means.
Possible name?

just saying that it is the cost is a one dimensional argument.
It's an economics argument, of course it's one dimensional. (sarcasm)

Judging from the posts I saw on Facebook it was running on "No Intelligence".

Oh i see, google doesn't protect against this. This seems super secure.
I think you missed the point. It's two factor authentication. If I know your password I still need to know the key to log in.
Can we combine all these articles under just one title "Your Security is Flawed. You're Not Secure"?

Uber is a greedy and unethical multi-national corporation that only cares about profits, and does not care about people.
If this is your reasoning, then you should not purchase products from a majority of corporations.
Define "Massive" You keep using that word, and I'm not sure you know what it means.
