Five years ago, a lot of people seemed to be adopting DropBox, etc. and I'm frankly surprised they didn't IPO then. Now, I see a lot of those folks are back on shared Google Drives, etc. Is DropBox still really adding customers/revenue at this point? If so, why?
Well, it was a robot car PLUS "regular human-driven car trailed behind, videotaping the drive".
So...to help translate mild-mannered Midwestern into plain English for you, consider that "thank you" really meant "hey you creepy millennials live-streaming this for your corporate overlords, we got our pizza and we paid, so now would you please GTFO here?"
>> stay connected on your PC without worrying that you're missing phone notifications or calls
Who doesn't have their phone beside them or in their pocket when they're working on a computer? Hell, with most multi-factor authentication schemes, the code/approval comes through your phone, so you're screwed if you don't have it with you.
>> Content that "opts in" to AMP and the associated hosting within Google's domain is granted preferential search promotion
In the web's evolving history, FTP-served content was the first to disappear from search engines, then HTTP-only content (Google dropped priority of these sites years ago) and now its HTTPS. As long as AMP is a patent-free, open standard and (like HTTP and then HTTPS) it's trivial to implement, I have no problem with this.

Meltdown breaks the most fundamental isolation between user applications and the operating system. This attack allows a program to access the memory, and thus also the secrets, of other programs and the operating system.If your computer has a vulnerable processor and runs an unpatched operating system, it is not safe to work with sensitive information without the chance of leaking the information. This applies both to personal computers as well as cloud infrastructure. Luckily, there are software patches against Meltdown.
Spectre breaks the isolation between different applications. It allows an attacker to trick error-free programs, which follow best practices, into leaking their secrets. In fact, the safety checks of said best practices actually increase the attack surface and may make applications more susceptible to Spectre. Spectre is harder to exploit than Meltdown, but it is also harder to mitigate. However, it is possible to prevent specific known exploits based on Spectre through software patches.
Saw Star Wars 8 in widescreen 3d opening weekend in a theatre with 20 people. If that can't put butts in the seats...
On the other hand I dropped $100 for four people with tickets and popcorn, so maybe they only want us to visit once a year - just that empty seat showing could have netted them $2k.
>> (listening/marketing device) priced at about $200
I still don't understand why there is a "price" attached to these things. I'd think companies would be giving them away, and for guys like me, they'd need to pay me to put something like this in my living space.
Rule's always been: pay if you reprint. (See AP in the USA.). However, everyone's always been free to summarize and restate if they attribute, which is essentially what the link does.

Oily with a metallic aftertaste.

The scientists are watching the space lightning from the shelter of the barn, right?
Is Yelp still a thing? I mean, didn't we all pretty much move on to Google ratings on Google maps?
We know. Thanks for explaining the bit.
>> take trousers off in bedroom (phone still in pocket); go upstairs and get on computer
TMI, my friend. But I see your point. Sometimes I use a laptop in bed, and I don't keep my phone in my bedroom.

Which is why I provided that URL. None of the clickbait articles had links to the research paperS (plural, MF'er).
So...you're welcome newbie. Now GTFO my lawn.
Like we've already addressed most vulnerabilities ever discovered? (It's the new, unaddressed ones that bite you.)

Did the TFA really self-link? (Try clicking "two vulnerabilities named Meltdown and Spectre")
Gotta love the timing of yesterday's $1.6B digital theft lawsuit. Have fun with that!

>> Do you really want people that still read comic books as an adult working for you?
In IT? Yes, absolutely.
Your local "print shop" or shipping store will print stuff from one page to hundreds. I use them all the time.
It's been about ten years since Opera mattered, even to nerds.

To be fair, Tesla's having trouble attacking major auto manufacturers too.
