Step 1 - subscribe to netflix and buy a Roku/AppleTV Step 2 - cancel cable tv (and possibly upgrade your network speed) Step 3 - profit by saving ~$100 / month, which you can optionally spend buying tickets to live music/sports events instead of sitting at home or if you must rent a VPN and usenet anything not on Netflix.
They also use up a lot of energy. There are pros and cons of course. They use more energy than humans to do less useful work BUT they can get tht energy from solar collectors or nuclear more directly than humans (without the massive delay of turning it into sugars first).
No there should be something else. Zoning comes to mind. Taxis companies get zones. Maybe the most profitable. Anyone else (ride share, etc) can work outside the zone.
It's a one time pass like an RSA fob. It's synchronized with the cars chip so every time you use it and an exchange happens a net key pair is generated. The key pairs are useless. It's the generator algo you want. Then you'd have to sync up your extra fob with the car.

Don't know what to do with your new skills? Sorry, I can tell you what I want to do with your skills but what you want to do is up to you. If you can't think of anything then you're just a worker bee. You can work on contract but I won't hire you.
There are three metrics for ads online. Impressions, clicks and conversions. Ad companies get paid for each at different rates.
The ads may read a cookie set previously or will set a cookie using an iframe. It has a beacon gif to log impressions. The destination reads the cookie using an iframe with same domain as prior. It also uses a beacon to log impressions.
The cookie tells the ad network: this user came from campaign id xxxxx. That cookie will also be read again on an order confirmation or any conversion success page (a thanks page for sign up or whatever).
So you have a beacon on the content site (payee) for impressions, a cookie set to track click throughs across domains via a 3rd party iframe and beacons on the destination (payer) to log click throughs and possibly conversions.
The beacons will send back a set of data including the campaign id, user agent info, time stamps, and anything needed by the contract which is provided by the payer, eg If its an affiliate program then the order subtotal (no tax or shipping) will be sent to log a commission. The user agent and and uid are used for analysis and segmentation to do things like a/b testing an offer (will a 5% or 10% discount work better - 5% is often good enough to drive traffic and 10% may not convert to higher sales).
And yet I can build a fully functioning Ecommerce website with an API, payment gateways, account system, and analytics in 6 weeks in Node/Mongo and have it doing 100k per month in sales with 3 people.
Know how long that takes in C, C++? 3 years with 10 people. In Java, PHP? 6 months with 6 people. Ruby? 3 months with 3 people.
Why is that?
Because its an already solved problem. Why would I want the overhead of labor intensive and expensive development when I can just NPM the right modules, require them and then string them together?
That ecosystem doesn't exist in the other languages. Package management and fit for purpose tool chains make all the difference.
OTOH I'm not going to try to write scientific simulation software or game engines or video processing pipelines in Node. Java, Scala, and Erlang are going to be a better fit.
If I'm building furniture I have a toolkit fit for purpose. I'm not going to use my mechanics toolkit to get the job done.
Or it could go the other way where your smart agent can accept bids on milk delivery from a competing marketplace. It can factor in other items in the order and get a bulk discount or use ratings and reviews to adjust the selection criteria.
This would be a premium program though. You pay more upfront for a smarter agent but it saves you in the long run. If you are smart you'll have it always looking for a deal on an upgrade. Agents will compete with each other and with the system. HFT for everything.
Not to mention that it will access his calendar and know about the vacation plan. Also when guests will be in town, if weather will delay delivery (so order a day early) and if the new diet he planned will affect his consumption.
How about ratings and reviews for products? DIY projects for tools at the home improvement store? Fashion tips? Behind the scenes making of info? Get Satisfaction links? Instruction manuals?
You've browsed a store online. Added something to your cart but didn't buy. Now you are at the store and you get a message that the item you were looking at is available with a 15% discount.
Another: you go to a store and look at stuff then leave. Later at home you see an email with a discount code for that item at the online store.
The goal isn't to track you. The goal is to sell you something and keep you from buying it on Amazon from a grey market middle man who got ahold of a lot of merchandise from a wholesaler who dumped it for a small margin.
You're forgetting the infrastructure to support it. Wifi in classrooms, provisioning system. School App Store. Insurance policy. Training for teachers. Licensing for content.
Agreed. The characters almost but didn't quite get in the way of the story and action. Possibly a fine balance was struck. Someone should edit out the fluff and torrent it. I'm tempted but the MPAA is way too trigger happy these days.

Netflix is your actual savior.
Step 1 - subscribe to netflix and buy a Roku/AppleTV
Step 2 - cancel cable tv (and possibly upgrade your network speed)
Step 3 - profit by saving ~$100 / month, which you can optionally spend buying tickets to live music/sports events instead of sitting at home or if you must rent a VPN and usenet anything not on Netflix.
So which browser are you releasing in the next few days? You do know you can fork their code right.
So go ahead. Fork it, release and then maintain it for the next decade. If that isn't your plan then please STFU.

Just plug it in already. I've got an android tablet that only reboots when it gets OTA updates that require it. It's ready at a moments notice.
It costs about $5 a year to keep it plugged when not in use.
Analytics do benefit you as a user. That's how companies find out things. They find out what is popular so they can devote more resources to it.
Plenty of other examples but maybe you can think them through yourself.
So you're recommending a class action suit?
Like we don't have enough of those.
No there should be something else. Zoning comes to mind. Taxis companies get zones. Maybe the most profitable. Anyone else (ride share, etc) can work outside the zone.
Or complete deregulation.

When the oceans were being conquered with ships set to explore and no guarantee of returning.
It's exciting to hear about but sobering to think about the tens of thousands who left, never returned and were forgotten 20 years later.
I wonder if we'll see the same happen over the next century.

Voila.
You do know Motorola is a Google subsidiary right?
I hire talent because I know I can teach skills.
Don't know source control? Let me teach you GIT.
Don't know shell scripting? Let me teach you Bash.
Build server? Jenkins
Build tool chain? Make/Ant/Maven/Grunt
Web server? Nginx/Apache
Reverse proxy and load balancing? Squid
Programming language? Java/C
Scripting language? Node/Python
Data modeling / schema? No/SQL
Design pattern? decorator, observer, module, factory

Hyperlinks are many to one. HyperTags (I just coined that term) are many to many.
CCGCKC got it...
Actually it's more efficient. By allowing the analog medium to introduce imperfections you don't have to.
How about ratings and reviews for products? DIY projects for tools at the home improvement store? Fashion tips? Behind the scenes making of info? Get Satisfaction links? Instruction manuals?
This could be useful.
How about this scenario.
You've browsed a store online. Added something to your cart but didn't buy. Now you are at the store and you get a message that the item you were looking at is available with a 15% discount.

I believe the design in question is an aesthetic one. It's only purpose is decorative.
