Due to a lot of life changes in a small amount of time I actually missed out on the whole "timeshifting" era (as long as you don't count VCRs). I think I'm also a more casual pirate because of it: I don't hoard shows or movies like it seems many other people do.
Uh...please have that second cup of coffee. DerbyCon is held in Louisville, Kentucky, home to Churchill Downs, which is a famous horse racing complex that hosts the famous "Kentucky Derby" horse race. So...er...yeah, "DerbyCon" is meant to be a play on "the place with the horses".
>> Intel's loss of manufacturing leadership -- a cornerstone of its dominance
If you think manufacturing is the cornerstone of Intel's dominance, then you haven't been paying attention. MARKETING the "Intel" brand (slapped onto almost every PC for a while) and the "duh duh duh dun" sound is the cornerstone of Intel's dominance. Once the masses realize(d) that you could get the same or similar chips from other places, cheaper, and without giving up much (if any) performance, Intel was in trouble.
Pretty much this. I think current events are playing into Trump's hands because the average person sees no effect from the shutdown and thinks "the government spends probably spends $5B on toilet paper ever year - can you please just give the orange one his cookie so I don't have to hear whiny people on TV every night?"
Last time I checked, we're done with the Paris agreement in 2020 (specifically on Nov 4). By trying to slip it through as an executive thing (to skip Senate ratification as a binding approval), Obama allowed the next President (Trump) to kill it, and kill it he did.

This sound like a marketing question. As in, "how well are the talking points from various agencies and political groups represented in the media." There are communications firms that perform this type of analysis today on the messages they try to get out into the public (e.g., "this statistic we created - that's just a little bit off the official one so we can track it - has been republished in 228 news stories in the past 6 months").
>> Emerging research on digital hoarding -- a reluctance to get rid of the digital clutter we accumulate through our work and personal lives -- suggests that it can make us feel just as stressed and overwhelmed as physical clutter.
Nice try Windows 10 Disk Cleanup. I saw your other article about needing 7GB on my machines today.
For me the winning move is just to change jobs every few years. "All those emails I never answered? F' 'em. Clean inbox and a raise here I come!"
Remember the bit about "non-violent offenders (thieves) shouldn't be jailed"? Already applies to white-collar crime.
Since we aren't allowed to go all frontier justice on lowlifes, modern society's best bet is preventative: avoid high-crime cities/neighborhoods, don't subscribe to cable, and avoid anything else that asks you put a lot of cash down up front (e.g., timeshares).
>> Technology experts worry that blocking the export of A.I. to other countries, or tying it up in red tape, will help A.I. industries flourish in those nations -- China, in particular -- and compete with American companies
If you think that China doesn't have other incentives to develop its own AI capabilities already, I have a bridge to sell you. The "embargo of AI = oh noes" is just FUD. And China's already getting pretty good on its own, e.g., https://www.inc.com/magazine/201809/amy-webb/china-artificial-intelligence.html

Yup - classic FUD. Verizon's marketing department is high-fiving this morning (I remember when I worked for ***** marketing and we celebrated when someone about our tech product got posted to SlashDot like this).

Wait - I thought you said "Millennials"
Nuts. You're probably right.
...the only sane choice is "not to play".
Quantity > quality over there lately. If my daughter still didn't watch the occasional cartoon, I would have cancelled it this year.
When you're scared and don't know where the enemy is...this is a fine strategy.

>> been put in a position where they'd have to (automated their colleagues out of work) and decided to quit instead
I wonder if this would work on a overly righteous but inept employee. Hmmmm.
>> To write or procure the program that makes a department or a job redundant.
I don't know about you, but automating work that people manually previously had to perform is one of the main reasons I enjoy what I do.

Boeing already left. They've been HQ'ed in Chicago for years.

>> Still using your ex-roommates cable credentials to watch "Game of Thrones?"
No, this is SlashDot. We pretty much just pirate GoT; using other people's credentials is way too much of a hassle.
It's great to see ARM chips take off in popularity. In ten years, Intel will be like Sun is now. ("Intel, like the old chipmaker gramps?")

Yes, often.

Newsflash: AV is pretty useless beyond detecting signatures of KNOWN malware. I've yet to see one that catches, for example, custom PS scripts.

1) figure out what people want to see on YouTube
2) script and film it
3) make up a story that could be true
4) ???
5) profit
Yup - classic FUD. Verizon's marketing department is high-fiving this morning (I remember when I worked for ***** marketing and we celebrated when someone about our tech product got posted to SlashDot like this).
FWIW, I only use pre-paid plans.
>> splitting the royalties 16 ways
Believe me when I say that this is a solved problem.
