I often use tor not because I not want to be monitored by my government (not doing illegal things), but because I don't want to feed data to the ever hungry google and other companies.
Bluetooth security is even worse than WiFi "personal" security. WiFi security is tolerable if you use good passwords (essentially as long as authentication tokens), but Bluetooth is just a haven of bad security.
You are essentially destroying the job of the offline seller here. Yes, you also create a job for the parcel delivery, but how long until the drones take over, and the delivery companies pay real shit wages.
Just as using uber destroys the jobs of taxi drivers, or self driving automotives will destroy the jobs of professional uber drivers and truck drivers.
You as customer have choice between new model and the older one. The question of course is what happens with all the workless people this economy creates.
Its called "the monopolist determines the prices". AMD is no real competition, and ARM is for mobile devices only. As intel is monopolist for desktop CPUs, they demand what they want.
The difference is that on mars, you have no atmosphere. In the UK its usually cloudy, and it often rains. This keeps the temperature, even during the night. On mars its like in a desert (just way more worse): if the sun goes down, it gets cold immediately.
Well how I'd imagine the process should be is that a woman who seeks abortion first need to speak to a doctor who had a special course, and then she can get it done. Maybe even on the same visit, and regardless of whether she is a rape victim or not.
I don't understand you. First the abortion supporters say it should be made as easy and as normal as possible, like getting a haircut, and now you say its something deeply personal.
I don't dislike giving women a choice, or allowing professionals to perform abortions legally, and I do not like some of the laws that republican run states have made after the supreme court ruling. I even think that there should be an analogous ruling for the men, where the man can say "okay you may get this baby, and I may be the father, but I don't want to care for it", so that the man has a choice as well, and then the woman can decide whether she still wants to get the baby or not. After all its unfair if only the woman can decide.
But I don't really see why if you google "toilet paper" you now get bombarded by ads for toilet paper is something different than other targeted ads, like this one.
As long as it doesn't tell people to do illegal things.
Spying on her and then trying to tell her what to do is sleazy and wrong.
There is no more spying involved than there is with any of us. The moment she installs google apps on her smartphone she agrees to be spied upon by google (its in the TOS), and google in turn enables people to run targeted ads for people in special situations. She didn't mind when she bought the phone, did she? And if she minded, there are free and open source alternatives without any gapps.
You don't know her. You don't know her situation.
They know that she is contemplating abortion. That's more than maybe her parents know.
Does a sign on a bridge "please don't jump, there is help, call number xxx" know the situation? It should be there, shouldn't it?
It is ultimately the choice of the woman, and that's how it should be. But why is trying to give her guidance something bad? I mean its the same if greenpeace phones to the CEO of shell and tells them to stop destroying the environment, or some animal group writing a letter to the CEO of McDonalds asking them to stop killing the animals. It may be weird and may not reach its goal but why forbid them to do it?
I would draw it between humans and animals. Maybe pets should get an exception, but even there the list of allowed antibiotics should be highly limited.
what about not using antibiotics on living animals? They serve as a feeding ground for antibiotics. The price would be that you have to pay more for products that include flesh, because you would have to isolate the animals better, in order to stop spreading illnesses.
Of course, you can measure a real profit in saving our earth. There will be a point where the benefits will outweigh the investment. But it won't pay off in the lifetime of many people alive today, that's why they don't care. And because they are narrow minded and only care about their purse, not about the purses of the of the other humans on this planet, nor the purses of their grandchildren.
They should be abolished. Patent trolls aren't the problem, if patent trolls get banned they will buy fake businesses and sell ten manually made phones for 6k$ each.
Ruby and javascript are both crap, because they are barely strongly typed, and you have to unit test everything in order to have *some* guarantees about your code. It might just outright crash because you wanted to call a number like a method. Or worse, it might continue execution but with unintended consequences.
Putting js onto the client is one thing. It is sandboxed in one of the the world's best sandboxes and it can't do much harm there.
But having it on the server, where it processes user data and decides whether somebody is admin or not? No, javascript is no language for that, nor is ruby or php. Js is maybe the best of those three, but still a real mess.
No, that's the fun thing about asynchronous programming: nothing runs in parallel at all. It all runs in the same thread. You can add worker threads, but JIT engines weren't designed for multiple threads, as well as browsers, so its not done.
Maybe with languages like Rust in which you can do actual proper multithreading without stepping onto your toes (even better than in Go!) this might change, but its a long time until servo takes off, a very long time.
- Track power to help reduce costs. - Track water usage.
I never saw what the advantage in this was. I do know that a device requires power, because it is connected to the power network. I do know that electric stoves need more power than lightbulbs and that I shouldn't keep the stove on. Also I know that I should turn off lights everywhere when I leave a room. Everything else just feels like microoptimisation to me.
- Track plant watering for ideal horticulture, or even automate your garden.
This may be a point, but I still don't see why it should be connected to a touchscreen mounted to my frige. I also don't need to be waked by a TTS voice telling me how much the plants grew yesterday.
- Connected security devices.
One of the major techniques in how to make systems secure is by doing precisely the opposite: separation.
And I do not like to have my smartphone connected to my home so that if my smartphone is lost, I can't get into my own house anymore.
- Automatic controlling of your home to prevent pointless inefficiencies or improve comfort, or even security (lights come on at specific intervals).
Turning on lights at specific intervals might scare thieves off, but before long they'll find different techniques in order to find out where to steal stuff from.
The only real security advantage you may get is with alarm systems and cameras.

I'm not worried about the government, I just don't see the advantage of using a broken protocol if a wire would do the same job, and even much better.

I don't think this is hardware for gamers. But if you can type make -j 20 happily you really will like this CPU.

Still ads for haircuts are legal. And would you disapprove of ads that say "let them grow long"?
lol, yeah I've misplaced that "living" here.

That checkbox never worked for me. Maybe because I reset cookies each time I visit slashdot.
Perhaps your cookie has expired and you had to re-login, perhaps try to re-check the checkbox.
Anyway, I have an adblocker, so I don't notice.

Telling women to not do abortions is nothing bad IMO. Its what ads are about: telling us to do different stuff. Its what made google rich.
What IS bad though is to forbid abortions, because this will just lead to women who want to abort their child to use more dangerous methods.
