It's good that they're electric because people are going to travel much more when they don't have to do the driving.
Somebody who spends three hours a night on social media now can, in the future, hop in a car and go hang out with real humans for two hours.
Internet interaction is cheap and easy - install lots of solar panels to charge your car and real human-human interaction becomes nearly as cheap and easy. Yes, you have to put pants on, for most meetups, but the reward ought to be sufficient for the effort.
There are those who would just rather avoid human contact, but they make poor friends online and off. Seriously, you people, go be a hermit - that's a legit lifestyle choice for certain kinds of people.
The nascent studios, facing uneasy public relations , literally decided to get together and give themselves awards.
Stupid Americans bought the act hook, line, and sinker. The Academy Awards is an industry group doing promotion. Their awards are not a meritocracy nor do they reflect any kind of objective standards. WTH is DoJ thinking?
You can't play a game other people host and expect them to lose their own game. If anything, Rotten Tomatoes has made them obsolete, aside from the people who are more concerned with celebrity worship than filmcraft.
Here's the thing - every computer out there is insecure. We basically don't have the knowledge on how to build a secure computer that most of the population can use while remaining connected to the Internet.
There are really only two choices now: 1) disconnect from the Internet and don't face these risks 2) expect risks and pay to avoid incidents and/or clean up after them.
IT people are the worker bees of 2). Blaming the users for using faulty equipment is a waste of time.
Nobody seems to want to do 1) because overall there are profits to be made by being Internet connected. If your place of business wants to do 1) but not 2), then just run for the exits before it's too late.
We won't be able to call them "Whole Paycheck" anymore. Rats.
People shouldn't shop at grocery stores where they can't afford the prices. I rarely go into a Whole Foods and only then for specialty items. I don't have an unlimited supply of money, and it sounds like the complainers don't either. I have better things to spend the delta on food prices on.
These entitled morons might not believe that the vast majority of the population cannot afford to shop there either. It's "groceries for rich folk" and that is fine but not everybody is rich and people who aren't rich should shop where the prices are better.
I hate to get all "latte and avocado toast" here, but how many people who complain about the cost of Whole Foods also can't afford a downpayment on a house?
They're a great way to trick people into visiting some shitty malware site, but more importantly they break a fundamental part of the web- the fucking URL itself.
Yes, that's their primary use, malware. It's not so you can tell a human a URL they can remember.:rolleyes:
It is fascism such as this. When a gov works with businesses
Where was big business in the "McCarthy" era?
Where was big business in the run-up to the Iraq War? Oh, yeah, NYT carrying water for war propaganda.
Where was big business in the "Trump is a Russian Agent" era? Oh, right, Deep State and big-media partnership.
Truth be told, it was Hearst who sponsored Reefer Madness and turned Anslinger from some kook into the Godfather of the Drug War.
When people say, "you can't trust the media anymore," remember that's something people have been saying since 1793. Nobody ever seems to learn - must be the media influence.
J2ME's UI options and system services were terrible for mobile.
Android, for all its warts, was substantially better. Java just happened to be a decent language for the time that could be hooked into the Android stack.
If it had been Swift or Python or Ruby it still would have pantsed any J2ME phone offering. Java isn't all that special. Look at iPhone - lots of people learned Objective-C just to use its mobile stack and in that case Apple itself showed how non-optimal a language that is by developing Swift.
The spoofing ought to die with "SHAKEN-STIR" - from there some popular cell app with a Bayesian classifier ought to have a decent blacklist within a few weeks.
As long as they're spoofing the blacklist value is limited.
Yeah, but now with A13 and Brexit the UK is destined to become a meme powerhouse, and may soon grow to host thousands of VPN's for Europeans who need to get their illegal meme fix on the sly, all whist sporting good RTT.
Muller's claims about hacking are refuted by forensic evidence.
Either: 1) Muller has stronger evidence nobody has seen yet. 2) Muller doesn't understand the forensic evidence 3) Muller is lying to Congress to try to keep prosecution going on Wikileaks.
Right, unless Muller has some strong evidence that the file modification times were modified post hoc to make it look like the files were copied locally to throw off the scent and/or frame Seth Rich we should assume the null hypothesis that they are just mtimes and work from there.
Those forensics say that it was an inside job. That his conclusions are contrary to the data tells me pretty much everything I need to know on where to file the Muller Report (alongside the still-classified sections of the 9/11 report).
It's not obvious, actually, and it's frankly dangerous to assume it is.
Other studies have demonstrated a clear increase in fatalities when these laws are introduced.
Rather than texting at the top of the steering wheel where they can see the road (granted, on a separate focal plane) they are texting from their laps, looking up and down, so the cops don't see them (in primary states).
I didn't read this study but the decline in injuries among the elderly suggests they may have undiscovered hidden variables. Somebody else can dissect it to add to the corpus of data on the issue. Odds are nothing smart will be done before autopilots are widely available anyway.
It's said that the A380 comes with the best instruments on Earth and a dog. The instruments are there to fly the plane and the dog is there to bite the pilot if he tries to.
You should go for an MRI if you really need one, but be cautious about their over-use.
I spend a lot of time in the woods and have thus far avoided opting-in to optinal MRI's because of the [now old] suggestions that we might have a biological sense of direction. There was some study a while back that was able to destroy navigation ability in a bird species with MRI. Little bits of iron migrated out of the required cells, or some such thing.
Come to think if it I should point out to paranoid people that nobody needed to have GPS navigators before MRI's were invented.:P

The search engine. Google Maps stunned the world. Gmail. Docs and Calendar. And then... ...what?
They went public, brought on Eric Schmitt, CFR member, to run the thing, and turned it into a surveillance powerhouse.
Project Dragonfly is still being worked on and neomarxist cliques make sure that conservative and libertarian employees don't work on new projects.
Sure, some engineers who weren't told about PRISM were pissed, but Google was apparently complicit above their paygrade, probably OTR like Dragonfly.

And Dark Matter is like a ghost.
Every so often /. editors post shit to elicit outrage comments rather than topical one. Eyeballs are eyeballs; advertisers don't care.
The readers fall for it hook, line, and sinker every time.

If Mabel is a play on Ma Bell, then full points awarded.
You lose deductions, pay more in taxes, and expect the government to 'do something'?
This is due to the new BPA-free paper, which protects infants whose parents have them snack on receipt paper.
So, yeah, they already 'did something'. What's not to like!
Somebody with your CC# put in an address at HD once. Subsequent purchases on the same card are mapped to that same address by default.
It's handy but they only ever get homedepot@myreceiptdomain.com .
These days Tim supports W3C DRM standards.
Yeah, but now with A13 and Brexit the UK is destined to become a meme powerhouse, and may soon grow to host thousands of VPN's for Europeans who need to get their illegal meme fix on the sly, all whist sporting good RTT.

That's an incredibly important "tech" angle.
McCain was a traitor and a knave most of his adult life. Keating Five.

They're allergic to support and when people pay with money they want support. When people pay with their personal secrets they don't want support.

Did anyone honestly believe that SPECTRE wouldn't be able to figure out a way to decrypt Apple's 4k movies?
Plot twist: they decoded it but their screens were such shit that they couldn't stand to watch the films anyway.
n/t
If it can be played, it can be screencaptured, reencoded and shared. Load of bollocks the whole drm thing is.
Besides the loss of quality there's a decent chance the account information is added to the visuals with subband coding.
Also, hardware DRM is supposed to prevent the interception of the decoded data. yeah, yeah, #include von_neumann.h , etc.
