Doesnt matter. If the customer wants to know that information, then concealing the fact that it is GMO is deception. If the customers don't get the info from labeling, then they will get it from places the vendors can't control, and will no longer trust labeling. Let's say they lose market share and remove GMO to regain it. How to share that with customers, if they no longer trust product info? Word of mouth reputation takes much longer to fix when you sabotage communication.
Which is why a bunch of cities got proactive and made it illegal for Google to deploy there. There's nothing more destructive to the American way of life than competition.
I mean, I know only pedophiles and terrorists use encryption in the those Dark Places of the internet, but they might consider at least giving it a try, if only on a temporary basis.
That's because many companies in the US exist as paper instruments to enforce government-granted monopoly or oligopoly on trade of a particular good or service. In these cases, the perceived value of the company is in the legal rights it grants, not in the work the employees are performing. Monopolies mean the sole supplier dictates the supply, and consequently will often choose to produce far less than buyers are seeking to procure, because the sweet spot for profitability is when there is a shortage. In these cases layoffs are entirely predictable. Any company which relies heavily of intellectual property law, market allocation, Import-Export banks, or other legal tricks to restrict competition is a company that has either already laid off a significant portion of staff, or is about to.
Just call your local Congressman and tell them that fast cheap broadband is a matter of national security, and if we have to wait for movies to buffer the terrorists will win.
You would see $10 trillion infrastructure outlays in a matter of months, and floor debates where each Congressman is trying to prove they are the party of broadband, and the other party is the party of dialup.
Two words: trade imbalance. When you are a non-American holding a giant corpescent wad of U.S. dollars from stuff you have exported to that great country, you need to actually find something worth spending those dollars on instead of getting screwed on Forex. It turns out one the few things America makes that foreign people actually buy is securities. More trade imbalance means even more securities sales, and so on until that bubble pops, like it did in 2007.
Its called offering the customer something in exchange for money. Companies like GE and Exxon Mobil have been using this strategy with moderate success.
32 MB for the device, several GB's of RAM for the VM in the data center that is remotely steering the device via TLS. The marketing is a bit deceiving.
It's all marketing people nonsense. The challenge is Google wants to build an "ecosystem" on it, which is business-technical-eese for bloat city. It doesn't take a lot of RAM to implement a network stack; folks like you were doing it before it was considered cool. It *does* take a lot of RAM to implement a loss-leading "platform" for gathering usage stats, pushing targeted advertising, and generating partner monetization opportunities. Putting Google's idea of IoT in 32 MB is like putting a 300 lb fat guy into a Mini Cooper. The only way you do it is by making the device "thin" (i.e., it doesn't know how to do anything on its own but phone a central data center for instructions), and let the data center have complete control over the device (like Siri, only for everything).

They're going to have to find something other than Dalvik if they want applications to run inside 32 MB, unless they're thinking of a really aggressive GC. Time for LLVM to have its day.
TPP has as much to do with trade as ACA had to do with healthcare. I doubt Obama really understands the deal well enough to explain it to others anyway.
As someone who subscribed to traditional media for years, I can tell you you're wrong. I pay a lot more than the average person for news sources. I have gravitated away from "traditionals" like the NY Times because they cannot be trusted to faithfully report when it really counts. They're fine for minor league stuff, but once you get to heavy hitters like multinational corporations, the USG, or certain powerful religious institutions, they run and hide, because they have to protect their ad revenue and special access. Basically, they just have too much to lose when reporting the whole story. These days it's not uncommon for employees of govt and corps to work in the same office as the news org thats supposed to be covering them. If you're reading a news article and 60% of the screen/page is ads, you aren't really a consumer; you're a product. There are a few orgs out there who still report the news, but it costs actual money and time to find them.
Most of what the NYT does these days is typeset press releases and talking point memos. The web means that issuing a press release is just updating a web page. Why do I need a newspaper to be the middle man if they offer no value?
If Apple really wants to grow their business, they can start by making their existing product line more manageable in a large enterprise. Corporations aren't going to ditch workstations in favor of tablets or watches. They need to get real work done. Microsoft's iron grip via Office is weakening, and Apple has a real chance to grow their business by providing something that users have been wanting for years. They're about tapped out on consumer discretionary spending; they need to make inroads on the professional side. They have been sucked into a IoT mania.
How often do you get a vendor update to your home gateway router? This is in spite of the fact that all consumer grade routers use the same 3 or 4 chips.
If you have no reasonable expectation of privacy when using a cell phone (with regard to metadata), then why is it illegal for ordinary citizens to intercept cellular?
Any time there is a complaint there is an investigation. It is normal for employees to be investigated many times while working at a PD, because people complain more about police than, say, firefighters.

A paragraph of story lifted from AP newswire, no less, because $&@k research.
I guess they finally caught up to the idea that Progressive Insurance FMV in the sidebar equals dead battery and customer complaints.
Hamilton would have been delighted, sadly.
Actually thats not quite true. The entire future existence of Sony Pictures is in question.

OpenStreetMap is slow, because running geodatabase queries efficiently without strong infrastructure is a hard problem.

Google does. Otherwise you get banished to the depths of PageRank.

Nah dude. Real men use tail recursion and binding expressions.
