JetBlue has free in-flight wi-fi right now. Wikipedia says they're served by Exede, a satellite internet company which also powers internet on United and Virgin America. Fast enough to stream NetFlix (at least, they claim so, I've never tried) and definitely fast enough for my recreational browsing. I'm not sure why Delta and Airbus would be late to the game, but I recall reading somewhere that their current in-flight connectivity is via a network of ground-based stations (probably the source of the Sprint connection), so they may be stuck with a different web of contractual agreements and regulatory hurdles than satcom.
(JetBlue also has free snacks and drinks and decent legroom in coach, which is why they'll always get my business if they're flying where I need to go.)
Um, Trump says we're going back to the Moon, just like Obama said we were going to an asteroid and then to Mars, and Bush 43 said we were going to the Moon and then to Mars...nice words from all of them, but not much commitment of money or legislative priority. (Well, let's be fair -- Obama actually had a rover prototype in his inauguration parade.) "No bucks, no Buck Rogers."
Shame on whoever modded this down -- "2FA" over SMS is empirically proven insecure, by e.g. social engineering attack on the cell phone company to redirect text messages to an attacker's phone.
It might have been a test -- "how far can we turn up the heat before the frogs jump out?" This time, they found the answer was 'too hot', but that's still good data for them.
So I take it this means that they're stopping the gratuitous sequels, reboots, and cookie-cutter blockbusters, right?;)
(I suppose I'd also accept it if they agreed to let us pirate works that are not Creative and Entertaining...)
...This is a discussion that's been ongoing for years now, as the ISS reaches the end of many critical components' design lifetime (particularly the life support, which was finicky when it was new and has not exactly aged like wine). The Trump administration may be somewhat more likely to actually go ahead with privatization, but it's not like the Obama and Bush administrations never considered it either. I'm sure the Trump administration will find, like its predecessors, that it's great to talk about selling the ISS but that there's not exactly a big line of potential buyers...the most serious discussions of private space stations (such as by Bigelow) are focused around much smaller installations.
McMaster-Carr isn't exactly at the top of the list when people are asked to name 'technology' companies, but they sell pretty much any parts or tools you could want for a build project, they deliver overnight, and their website should be required reading for any e-commerce developer -- frankly, Amazon included: http://mcmaster.com/
Cloudflare gets a lot of props for protecting websites against DDoS attacks and for affirmatively disclaiming from themselves the power of censorship. (They did drop the Daily Stormer over their content, but I'll give them one mulligan.)
He's promising to be personally available in an online forum and by electronic mail to people whose computers can't connect to the Internet. Meanwhile, the steps for solving the problem are...published on the Internet. He's probably got a couple of buddies in his office doing the "Waldorf and Statler" laugh about it: "Doh-ho-ho-ho!"
If we define consciousness as something like "ability to respond to inputs", yeah, we can go from humans down to bacteria and thermostats. Is that insightful? Maybe philosophically, but what's the scientific merit? Does this statement have any predictive power?
He says "exchange their crypto for fiat currency" as if there is something different about the two, but there's no more 'intrinsic' value to cryptocurrency than there is to paper greenbacks (or whatever plastic funny money it is that other countries use). In fact, the bills in my pocket are backed by the 'full faith and credit' of the U.S. government -- yeah, yeah, I've heard the jokes before, but Bitcoin doesn't even have that!
Sir Isaac Newton was definitely verifiably born on Dec 25, 1642. To be fair, that was under the Julian Calendar, which corresponds to Jan 4 on our calendar, but it's as good a reason for the season as any. (Well, after axial tilt, of course, and orbital eccentricity on certain planets.) Sometimes I get really mixed up and say "Happy Halloween" because, y'know, DEC 25 == OCT 31.
Aside: even ca. 200 AD, people were mostly guessing when Jesus Christ was actually born. The Church picked the date December 25 to align with the Roman celebration of the winter solstice, even though the date was "probably" wrong (and in fact some Eastern churches celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 in non-Gregorian calendars, and they definitely can't all be right), because the point of Christmas is celebrating Jesus's birth (and life, teachings, and death/resurrection^H^H^H^H bad weekend), not getting the exact dates right.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.
The headline says "hire more than 10,000", but the summary says "*increase to more than* 10,000", and TFA (yeah, I know) says this is "a 25% increase from where the company is today." So, they're actually hiring a couple thousand new workers. Given the nature of the problem, I'm not sure that increasing their content moderation staff by a factor of essentially unity (1.25x) is going to solve things -- YouTube's machine learning approach to removing violent extremist content (with all the attendant hiccups) did the equivalent of over 180,000 people working full-time -- but maybe these new 2,000 will be put to work specifically on training a machine learning algorithm for finding and removing exploitative content. (Cripes, that must be a heck of a job ad -- "Come work for YouTube! Be one of 2,000 new hires looking at sick content where kids get hurt, all for the purpose of training an AI to make yourself obsolete!")
These guys make license management software for big closed-source software packages (CAD, simulation, etc.). I've been fortunate enough that their software has always done its job and gotten out of the way (at my organization), but their end-user documentation is awful. Take their commentary on open-source software with a big pile of salt.
