Apple shuts down small experiments and buys giant "muh Privacy" billboards in Vegas, but also forces iOS users to use Google's search, the largest surveillance apparatus there is.
For eight billion reasons per year (do as they say, not as they do).
You want the people who infected soldiers with syphilis (not to mention Tuskegee) and crucified people to see how they died to make up the rules about how to treat people? Because corporations?
How did we end up with a government where no one on either side ever fixes anything?
You have a system where a large percentage of the rulers are psychopaths or sociopaths and they crave power which has to be given to them by voters and to get this they have to promise voters things that they never intend to deliver, and you expect them to get rid of things that they can dangle in front of voters, like stopping robocalls? The politically-desirable outcome is media coverage, not solutions to real problems.
It's a well-known secret that both parties have an agreement to slowly raise the minimum wage below the rate of inflation but to have a big media shit-storm every time to socially signal to "their" voters that they're being represented. The whole thing might be the biggest con in history.
I'm glad to have found a good call blocker that works on Pie; had to update my voicemail to say, "sorry, you're not on my contacts list." Government didn't solve this problem for me, nor did I ever expect that it would. Some dude called Vlad Lee did and he has a Play Store account.
IFF Facetime were a TNO platform, it would be fairly straightforward to ensure that all data that traverses from point A to point B in the software is encrypted. If it's not encrypted, nothing hits the network event loop, and unit tests make sure of it.
Facetime, of course, isn't TNO, it's "Trust Apple". They manage your keys, not you, and they are to be trusted with closed-source to not screw that up. There's no regularized enforcement of sensitive data always being encrypted (obviously).
A "paranoid" e2e-encryption programming pattern actually does help to improve development so these particular types of errors can be avoided. But to get them, Apple would have to give up some control, and users would have to take some responsibility.
That isn't Apple's market, so these slip-ups are to be expected occasionally.
After a day and a half, Google will lose interest and discontinue the conference. Complaints will be handled by a python script that a human never looks at.
Who else is getting inline spam links that open up new windows when clicking legit links within Slashdot? (e.g. 3 replies below your threshold). Fake Google sites, "slot machine" sites, etc. instead of the/. content.
I'm seeing it on Android Chrome (no ad blocker). If this is the only thing keeping the site afloat I want a copy of my data before it disappears forever.
I had a Laserwriter Plus. A complex page would take upwards of 20 minutes to render, so I didn't print much until I was really ready for final proofing or WYSIWYG checks. That was "slow" but if every print took a whole workshift I wouldn't have gotten it.
When a 3D printer can make 4-6 models per work shift they'll sell much better.
Old Xerox machines needed bottles of toner and before that copy fluid and ink. Today's inkjets and lasers are barely messy by comparison.
If this resin system is really fast and makes good models, they'll design self-contained systems that clean the model and recycle any excess fluid. Maybe a vacuum pump and a final dazzle with UV, who knows.
In the distant past Apple would pay people to work on new ideas in case they came up with something new they could sell - the ATG. Most of Apple's new tech came from there and they made money commercializing those ideas. They trimmed non-product research when they had money problems. Steve claimed that all necessary research would happen within the product groups, but he knew well that kind of R&D doesn't generate new markets - this was reasonable as he was cutting the company back to four products, but it wasn't until the iPod group came onboard that they had something new.
Does Apple do anything new these days? Every product release seems to be a slightly faster, slightly thinner, slightly bigger-or-smaller version of the same products they've been selling since Steve was a vegetarian, from what I've seen.
Whether or not they're the richest company in the world this week, it wouldn't kill them to try some new stuff. Unfortunately they no longer have a leader, they have an efficient manager in charge. Does Tim even trip?
I commented publicly (here maybe) that Trump should pay Elon whatever he wants to start a moonbase during his first term. It was achievable then with Falcon Heavy but sadly for both they never read/.
Do we want the people who deplatformed Scott Horton and fired James Damore to control Wikipedia? Supposedly Google employees share internal blacklists of other employees who don't have Right Think and keep them away from projects of influence.
It's a good principle, but this controversy originated several years ago, before tech companies would just deplatform and/or demonetize anybody and everybody not toeing a leftist power-elite agenda.
We've seen the culture change from not removing accusations against lawyers on Yelp to permabanning peace activists on Twitter (e.g. Scott Horton).
Until some fully-decentralized platforms show up this is going to be the new normal. Big Valley is Watching.
I did back when their DVD mailings started to take over a week and the streaming catalog was collapsing. Zero regrets - I turn on my mind with democratic content, not off with the hierarchy's programming.
It's 2019 - smart people should be watching ElectroBoom, not Stranger Things.

Thanks for the good summary. I read stories this morning along the lines of "Management Shake-Up at Tesla, CFO Out, Replaced by VP of Finance."
I shall now go mark those news sources as "fake news, shorts colluders."

The cat is the carrier and beneficiary. Humans and rodents are the hosts and victims.
A hundred years from now, after we have effective treatments, people will look back at this as a major health crisis that was barely understood.
Please show your calculation factoring in the cost of wars for oil.
When all color and darkness has been removed it will be elegant and perfect.
They forgot to run ntpdate first on startup?
Some random dude at Microsoft is butthurt that Mozilla beat Edge.
Clickbait for Nerds.

I thought it was $300K ... is $25K a renewal price?
I know a few people who would pay $25K/yr for a vanity TLD (or nonprofit consortium, even).
it's had video calls for quite a while. Works OK.
Sounds like they ran an Ethernet cable to the motor data logger. Such edge, much paradigm.
Roll dice to determine odds of Internet breach shutting down the line.
That's right. WIMP is for discovery, keyboard accelerators are for productivity.
It's just occurring to me that even though we learned this in the late 80's, some of the readership wasn't born yet...
PS Thunderbird users should have Nostalgy installed for this reason.

(+5, Confident) is the way things go here lately.
Energy is the expensive part of flying. The tunnels aren't ready yet, though.
Why would anybody think that the leaders of the National Socialists or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were socialists?
Why, that's preposterous!

On the other hand, I think I've donated a higher percentage of my net worth to Wikimedia than Google is doing here, so it's probably just a token.
