The point was laying off your own core competency engineers and buying up companies to plug together some quick business model has had...problems in the pase, as demonstrated over and over and over.
The only edit I made stuck, it was trivial though. I simply added a link to something I wanted to read about, but wasn't linked (Japanese Lacquerware was referenced but not linked in the Urushiol article, since then it has had Chinese, and Korean added and linked).
So you're the dirty motherfucker who did that! >:-(
"I don't like capitalism!" he typed on his iPhone or Android phone, and pressed send, where it went out wiressly to a router or a 4G connection, and from there into the massive lightning fast backbone of the Internet. He then settled down to play Tom Clancy's World of Assassins Creed on his X-Station 760 PC with the new 980 graphics card, all of this developed over the past 30 years with trillions in private investment.
"Shall we meet at McDonald's for lunch?" came a message. "Nah, how about Cheepotl or whatever it is?" "Sure. Cya soon."
Fleming, however, ran a few tests, decided it wouldn't work in a human body, and shelved it. 20 years later another guy hauled it back out and did the dirty work of purifying it and testing it.
"The press" in "freedom of speech and the press" isn't just some guy from the 1940s with a "Press" card stuck in his hatband.
It is literaly the freedom to use a printing press -- the mass production of speech for distribution.
Kings of old would regulate or outlaw printing presses as a backdoor method of controlling speech...against them, the people in power.
You are seeking to tromp on the mdern version of this, TV, radio, and now Internet advertising.
You say "too much money!" On what basis? Because some senators whined 15 years ago that they disliked making so many phone calls? This isn't even about that.
This is some nebulous concept of "too much money" severed from any influence via donations to candidates.
The correct response to speech is more speech, not censorship of presses, the mechanical means of mass production of speech.
It is already happening. The number of (pre-retirement age) people going on permanent disability each month is about the same as those finding a job, or exceeding it, 150-200,000 a month. This often has a component of "you're a loser and your unskilled labor job disappeared and there are no more, and there are no desk jobs dumb enough for you", so here's your disability check, Mr. Back Ache.
That's actually WHY Slashdot hates Transhumanism - it conflicts with a lot of other dreams. Goodbye economic equality, goodbye natural offspring, goodbye 100% human DNA, goodbye gender, goodbye environmental preservation, goodbye most religions, goodbye unhackable organs... It's one of the most dangerous ideas in history, echoing back to the Nietzschean superman - which won't itself even be a man.
If we're going to get a Star Trek future, it will be one in which Khan wins.
Most of that junk is irrelevant or vanishingly unimportant compared to life extension. You can have it.
The primary social problem will be forcing term limits on all levels and positions (political anyway...for a start) in government.
Currently death, if nothing else, clears out the Hitlers and Stalins of history. If one of these bastards, excellent at creating giant, murderous internal security organizations, can get a hold on forever, now that is a real problem. Now "imagine a boot stepping on a human face...forever" has the same face as well as the same boot.
Hopefully. I am sick of console-friendly games being the standard, with ports of their lameness to the PC being most of the offerings. Even MMORPGs that are PC-only suffer from the backwash of consolitis design.
But I don't think phone and tablet based game design, which is what's killing consoles, is any improvement. At least a touch interface is mouse friendly on port.
This. It was a reporter who "busted" the story. If people think the Big Three are gonne get out of this scott free, guess again. That's why hypergiant penalties on VW won't happen.
I don't know about anyone else, but I always have to go back to Google to find info on Microsoft.com (especially technical articles or programming specs), updates for Microsoft or Logitech stuff, items on Best Buy, because all their searches are old-school pure text shit.
No, Microsoft. If I push F1 in Excel on a Visual Basic keyword in Excel, I am not looking for something in a Java or Microsoft Access language.
It's a market that wouldn't even exist but for Google. Prior to this search engines were shitty, pure text searches. Some were toying with auto rankings of search phrases based on which results people actuay clicked on (I think Ask Jeeves(?) had a patent on that?)
Anyway, this much deeper search is all Google, which is why people went to them.
There are no taxes because there is no economic dynamism to tax. You need to protect property rights from both thieves...and the corrupt who go into power to demand kickbacks.
Once you do that, and a farmer (or industrial equivalent) can feel safe investing in long-term projects without fear of seizure by thieves or corrupt officials, only then do you get a more powerful economy and higher employment with better jobs (compared to dirt floor existence) and only then can you generate enough taxes to do pretty little leftist projects.
The problem is stopping the projects from charging so much they are no different from corrupt officials in wrecking the expected success of an investment. "Pay us 50%, or your factory might get...broken. Shame if that happened." Where 50% is the combined taxation and regulatory burden. "Shame if the burden went to 62%."

Well-designed. Unlike this Google Chrome-on-phone keyboard entry system.

Sounds we-designed to me.

If you crushed an Amazon exec's balls in a vice grips, I'll bet he'd admit it was core to their business model in closed-room, no minutes meetings.
Should have called the credit card company and reporte them for fraud, and contested it.

Technically it was the warrantless access by government that drove Snowden, which drove this.
And sloppy, logless, no-tracking warrantless access at that.

There was literally an NPR show about it.

I wonder if he has 1080p or is stuck with a European human rights-violating 720p.
He was high on Swedish cheese.

All that stuff you mention can only be supported by a modern, industrious capitalist society.
Again, people put the cart before the horse, while calling the horse an evil useless asshole plague.

Is this gonna work, with hundreds of people in an area watching YouTube and Netflix over mobile? This isn't WiFi, but pure phone.
