^^^ This. Plus the smart ones realize that that someone paying $8/month is the best they'll get: if they cut them off at the knees, we, I mean they, will just go back to being 100% pirate.
As a software developer, the "dial" sounds like something marketing would sell to cover asses later but wouldn't actually be developed. For example, "Oops, we didn't mean to fry [nearby city] when we blew up [target] with our Surgical Nuke (TM). We really did set the dial to 'just kill bad guys' but our engineers must have fucked it up somehow."
I wonder if this guy knows about "scanner feeds" where some loner posts what he/she hears on the police/fire/EMS scanner into Twitter or Facebook. Lots of times there's serious injuries there. (Sometimes even the responder departments do this since the reports will all be public later anyway.)
Or what about sports? Would this prevent tweeting about a particularly violent tackle?
>> CMS is calling on the private sector to create apps and analytic tools that will keep data secure while fostering true and widespread interoperability.
If they were serious about interoperability, the Feds would go after Epic Systems, GE and every other provider of incompatible and ridiculously expensive health care software first. Interoperability ain't a problem to be solved with the next crappy Fitbit clone...
The report notes that drones work for shit in rainy and windy weather. In other words, our best defense is to amp up the global warming until hurricanes are near us at all times.
Why not just walk around barefooted in the dark until you stub your toe on it? That's how I usually find things I otherwise cannot detect any other way.
VBS (Visual Basic Scripting) came as a free Windows-based programming environment (especially if you wanted command-line utilities) and was available with a minimal editor as far back as I'v been playing with Windows Server (1996 I think).
>> the most intense hurricane ever observed in the Western Hemisphere...and record central pacific hurricane activity.
I believe the biggest knock on Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" movie was the prediction of lots of new super-hurricanes that hasn't come true, especially not in recent years. I'd be careful trying to link the two again...
The (government) can regulate (public places), but they don't own the floorspace inside of buildings. There are many ways to get your redress your grievances indoors, without assembling in groups that make people nervous. For example, you could sign a White House Petition, sound off on an electronic forum, or save time by writing all your grievances down in a Word document and sending it directly to the Recycling Bin.
$20K? That's trivial. A tiny settlement like this essentially means its OK for companies to have a secret God mode or to keep way more information than they tell their consumers about.

^^^ What I was thinking. You can't even spell JSON with 24 bits these days. :)
Fortunately, all the servers are contractors. Or the datacenters are anyway.
>> as our cars become mini data centers
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
It's English. Just wait another fifty years and you'll probably be right.
It's like anything we've ever sold to China. They buy ONE, then take it from there.

>> Once we can fab processors in our bedrooms or in the basement then the tinkering will start and the knowledge will flow. We're not there yet.
You'll never get there. See all the pending rules about OMGDrones! for an example.

You're letting your web app developers write security software now? How is Trend still even in business?

Slow clap. I never thought we'd see a second term of Jimmy Carter, and well, we got two of them.

I'd expect the other catch is "also, we can cancel or change the 'unlimited' bit at any time' - only suckers need apply.
