Yeah, doesn't really meet the standard of News for Nerds or Stuff that matters. I prefer the way Meijer handles their loyalty program & receipts. I just punch in my phone number at checkout, and my electronic coupons & everything is applied automatically, and I get my receipt emailed to me as a PDF. If I need to do a return, I just whip out my phone & pull up the PDF. Much more efficient.
And the shift coincides with concerns in Silicon Valley about the Trump administration's policies and the larger role of technology in government.
While one would hope that they would be concerned no matter who's in office, it doesn't appear to be the case. It's just like the "Presidential Alert" that went out last week. Even though it was something started under the Obama administration, people were suing simply because it was Trump doing it. Would they be sharing their concerns if Hillary Clinton was president right now? People need to realize that it doesn't matter if it's your person or not who is in power, because eventually it's going to be someone who's not your person. Can you trust they aren't going to misuse your technology?
I am the only person I know who didn't get this message. I don't have emergency or amber alerts turned off, my phone wasn't off or in airplane mode. I have an iPhone 7+, on AT&T. Wired has a story that tells you what to do if you didn't receive the message: Why Didn't I Get an Emergency Presidential Alert Text?
Not sure about other states, but Michigan doesn't require a front license plate. They must be mounting these on the rear and recording after you have gone by.
Google Is Using Data Analysis To Predict Floods In India, Warn Users
If they were really using A.I., it seems like the A.I. would be working on something else and then suddenly say, "Hey guys, it looks like there might be some flooding in India, you better warn people", without them telling it to look for flooding in the first place.
Assuming a physicist is dumb enough to put a cat in a box without providing it any litter. While you can't know if the cat is alive or dead until it's observed, the one thing that's guaranteed is you're going to have a mess.
If you believe the models, they say that as the Earth warms, the poles will warm more than the tropics. This means that the temperature difference between the poles and tropics will decrease. What drives storms? Temperature differences. The bigger the difference, the stronger the storm. So, if you believe the models, the intensity of storms will *decrease* due to global warming, not increase as everyone keeps saying. If you believe the models.
The great thing about an amorphous hypothesis like Global Warming/Climate Change is that it can be said to be causing whatever's going on right now. Hurricanes? Climate Change! Tornadoes? Climate Change! Volcanoes? Climate Change! Roger Federer losing the U.S. Open? Climate Change!
One sure way of reducing emissions is to make the state so expensive that the only ones who can afford to live there are tech billionaires/millionaires.
I wonder how many of them are allowing a student to shack up with them, since they're the ones with the big houses? If they're not leading by example, they're being hypocritical.
Now if only the gun nuts â" who are so vocal about their Second Amendment rights when someone tries to tell them they shouldn't have AKs and M15s and bump stocks, or that there ought to be better background checks â" were as vocal about "protecting" this Constitutional Right.
That's a pretty easy game to play: Now if only privacy nuts -- who are so vocal about their Fourth Amendment rights when someone tells them they shouldn't have encryption on their communications were as vocal about "protecting" the Second Amendment. You make the incorrect assumption that people who are vocal about one right aren't concerned about others.
And whoever is perpetrating the myth the the Minutemen at Lexington and Concord had Gatling Guns? Knock that shit off. And the rest of you that believe it -- because it fits your narrative -- shame on you.
I have never in my life heard anyone make this argument, so as far as I can tell, the only perpetuating it is you. I also don't know anyone who is a gun rights supporter who would believe this if they heard it.
My wife quit after a few things. She made a reasonable comment in a political discussion thread and someone reported it as offensive, and the conversation ended up being removed. Then one of her coworkers got falsely accused of being a drug dealer on one of those "busybody" gossip pages that have cropped up recently -- Facebook should ban those. That would be bad enough, but somebody apparently informed her boss's boss, and it came back down to my wife as the coworker's supervisor, so it has even seeped into the office politics.
I kept my account because I have a few apps that are tied into Facebook--it's the only way to use them. However, I haven't posted in several weeks, and only check in on occasion to see friend & family photos and such. Now FB keeps sending me email that says "Did you see what X said about Y's post!?", as if Facebook is gossiping itself. If it weren't for the apps, I'd probably delete it too.
At my last job, I used to have an hour commute each way. There were two ways I could get there. One was mostly divided highway @ 70 MPH, but was several miles longer than the back road way, which was mostly 55 MPH, but also cut through several towns with 45 & 35 MPH zones, along with stop signs and traffic lights. I usually took the back road way because I got better gas mileage. Besides, I'd rather worry about hitting a deer than getting crushed by a semi.
When I took my new job, it cut my commute by about 25 miles & 35 minutes each way. I figured it saved me about 280 hours a year and nearly 12,500 miles of driving, and over $1500 in gas. Given all that, I figured I could probably take a $1500 cut and still be even with my old job. Thankfully, I got a 20% increase over my old salary. The pay increase was a nice benefit, but the shorter commute has been a life-changing experience!
I also believe that I should be able to walk down the street, or board an aircraft, safe in the knowledge that there are no guns around me.
Where is this magical place you live? Are fairies and unicorns too? There are guns all around you, and you don't know it, which goes to show how seldom law abiding citizens ever brandish them.
Am I mistaken? Did they get a warrant before the papers were shredded and discarded (i.e. he was destroying evidence?) Did he shred them and then hang on to the shreds? If not, they're "Fruit of the Poisoned Tree".
What's so special about hackers targeting valuable data? Can you imagine being alerted everytime that happens?
Or is it that they are so proud they protected against this one that they want a pat on the back?
Stop challenging the narrative. Can't you see this proves Trump/Russia collusion!?

Now manufacturers can make their IOT products for California with *NO* password! That should save time & money wasted on security testing.
how clueless, President Barack Obama signed the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Modernization Act of 2015.
This is a prime example of "never give yourself the power to do something you wouldn't want your political opponents to do."

they give me another task to take on. I'm surprised the same thing wouldn't happen at other places, especially software companies.

Did the Earth wobble more before the ice age compacted the surface?
We don't know.
What's the correct amount of wobble?
We don't know.
What's the best temperature for the planet?
We don't know.
Who gets to decide all of this?
We'll require more grants to study these questions, and get back with you on that.

You forgot "imagine a Beowulf cluster of..." and "Netcraft confirms it!".
That's pretty much how I use my PS3 now. We have it in the master bedroom. I've had a PlayStation, PS2, PS3 & now a PS4, all still working.

Maybe she should change her name to Reality Check.
