That's what this is: basically cable TV. You may be getting the content for 'free', but there are commercials, so it's not really 'free', and you have to pay monthly for your broadband internet access (which comes in over a CABLE of some kind, one way or the other) -- so it's essentially cable TV. Gotcha. Is Comcast behind this?
I'll stick with the antenna on my roof, DVR, and DVDs.
Kind of impressive that they had the nerve to try to demand it all outright like that, though, but they'll just keep reverse engineering everything and stealing it like always.
I actually attribute the 'thinking' of SDC fanbois as what's referred to as 'magical thinking'; they assume that this 'technology' will somehow 'magically' solve all the problems. Of course it takes a particular kind of mind, disciplined in certain ways, to remember: you have to also think about what can go WRONG with something. Good engineers and programmers know this; the average person doesn't.
Why not just ban ALL forms of encryption for all of us proletariat/serfs/slaves/whatever you want to call us who are not the Police, the Rich, Policitians, and others who have actual power in this world, and be done with it? It's clearly and objectively what these people want: complete and total access to our lives, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from cradle to grave, and if you protest then you must be a criminal of some sort and your life will be sifted through orders of magnitude more than everyone else's -- and naturally they'll find some heinous crime to prosecute you for, very publicly of course, by way of making an example out of you to the rest of the peasants: do not cross us, we hold the power of life and death over all of you, so watch your step or perhaps your life will be taken away from you in the most spectacular and horrifying ways possible. So how about all you so-called 'police', who were supposed to protect and serve us, and all you so-called 'legislators', who were supposedly elected by us poor pathetic peasants to do our will, just stop gaslighting us, and admit what you really, really want: You want total and complete control of our lives, access to 100% of everything about us, ad infinitum, non-revokable, and if we complain then we get labeled 'terrorist' or 'pedophile' or 'criminal', and you destroy us. JUST FUCKING ADMIT IT SO WE HAVE ALL THE GODDAMNED CARDS ON THE TABLE ALREADY. I'm sick an tired of this fucking game. Just show your hand. It's not like enough of us are going to be able to do anything to stop you anymore; the Bread and Circuses have seen to that.
Even George Orwell would be shocked at what this country has become, it is so much more sublime than the crude, brutal images he created.
There is no 'human emulation' mode because it has no actual capacity for THOUGHT, therefore it cannot in any way shape or form 'emulate' a human brain. All it can do is be an extremely limited, pale imitation.
Had the truck had the same sensing equipment that the shuttle has the accident would have been avoided."
If the shuttle had a human driver the entire incident would never have happened because the half-assed excuse for 'AI' they keep trotting out can't actually THINK.
Guess what? Pretty much everyone I know, knows me by a name that is not my real, legal name. Therefore I am not on Facebook, anywhere. Enjoy being under a microscope, because you fell for the Facebook meme.
There's always at least one of you in the crowd, isn't there?
Projecting like the damned
What makes you think I use my real name online, anywhere, ever? What makes you think the people who know me can't be trusted to keep their word? I don't exist on Facebook. Never have, never will. You, on the other hand, are caught in their web, no doubt, and realize you're screwed -- and, no doubt, it burns you that someone else might have escaped your fate. You may as well become an exhibitionist, because you already traded away your privacy and now you can't get it back, LOL.
Yeah, sure, let's totally hamstring the social development of an entire generation, so they're so afraid of interacting with real, live people in real world situations, that'll just be so wonderful for our civilization.
A distillation of what Sean Parker had to say about Facebook:
I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
Yes, Mister Parker, you have. Facebook is a cancer to humanity, a virulent disease. It should never have been created in the first place, and I for one am glad that I have nothing to do with it.
..and NO, you can't find anything about me on Facebook. I don't have an account there, no one I know is allowed to reference me there, and I defy anyone who says different.
A 'standard' is only a standard until someone else comes along and decides it doesn't suit them for whatever reason, then they change it, ignore it, or otherwise adulterate it as they please. Then it's not a 'standard' anymore. Wash, rinse, repeat ad infinifum. This is the way things always go with tech.
Have you ever watched a lava lamp for a while? Especially one that's been around for a while? They're incredibly deterministic.
I would think this would be a better source: http://random.irb.hr/
We don't even know what "self-aware" is, to say nothing of "actual thought". How exactly is it defined?
..and THAT is why we can't create REAL AI; we have NO IDEA how things actually work, and you are taking for granted how complex a task driving is, which is why you need a mind that can actually THINK.
There is no value to using Facebook. Why not use email to keep in touch with these people you apparently aren't all that close to? Why do you NEED Facebook? Rhetorical question, you do not need Facebook at all. Stop trading your privacy for mere convenience and leave Facebook behind. Oh and if you're actually using your real name on Facebook then I guess you're screwed -- I never did use my real name, and I deleted all the entries and the account 10 years ago, and nobody I know ever referred to me using my real name anyway, so then so much for your theory about Facebook knowing anything about me; it does not and never will.
I guess if you really want to completely ignore the real meaning behind what I said and cling to your Facebook and smartphone addiction, that's your business, but your privacy is worth a million times whatever it is that Facebook is 'letting you use', which really is worth next to nothing. You can be 'social' and 'network' with people without ever even using the Internet at all, let alone Facebook, we did it for thousands of years, and you can do it now, for free, without Facebook.
'Windows' and 'secure' don't belong in the same sentence, regardless of what version it is -- especially when you're discussing Windows 10, which spies on you and removes your ability to truly be in control of your own hardware.

Trolololol..
He thinks I ever put my phone number online, anywhere, EVER
Trolololol
Good game, AC.
Blah blah blah EVEN MORE WORDS
I don't like or allow my picture to be taken. My real-life friends know me by a name different than my legal name. Facebook knows nothing about me.
More trolling
Guess what? Pretty much everyone I know, knows me by a name that is not my real, legal name. Therefore I am not on Facebook, anywhere. Enjoy being under a microscope, because you fell for the Facebook meme.
I'll try to troll him into signing up for Facebook
Nice try.
Blah blah blah WORDS WORDS WORDS

Sadly that means a larger percentage of Millennials are smart compared to everyone else.
Everyone needs to stop believing and reacting to media hype about so-called 'AI'. Seriously get a grip, you're not all going to lose your jobs.
Yeah, sure, let's totally hamstring the social development of an entire generation, so they're so afraid of interacting with real, live people in real world situations, that'll just be so wonderful for our civilization.

The People have spoken: they're tired of ISPs and their autocratic bullshit. I look forward to more of this happening around the country.

If you live in the places they're 'testing' this, there's going to be accidents, and maybe injuries and deaths.

No, you repeat after me: "Most people are DUMB and don't know what's good or bad for them".
