I have comcast; no netflix. I really hate it that Comcast will list a show as "Free" or included with my subscription, then when I drill down to it, it's "free with Netflix". It feels like false advertising.
Not that I need one yet (actually I do), but a hearing aid (not that I need one) that can pull voices out of the background noise of life (not that I can't do that myself) would be really handy. For the people that really need hearing aids. Not me of course.
I still have a pile of records from.... a long time ago. I thought that the encoding was a limiting factor, and I don't mean the RIAA equalization. Some disconnected neuron in my brain is saying LPs use velocity and 78s and older used amplitude encoding.
I drink 8 or 10 beers after work, then start woofing rubbers full of cocaine and doing Tide pods anally. All that keeps me wired enough to polish off a pint of Wild Turkey. About 4 am when I need to ramp down it's on to meth and wine. Alarm goes off at 6:30 so that I can make it to the studio in time to do my thing....Broadcasting live from the UN stonghold, Austin Texas, you're listening to the Alex Jones show

I used the provided link to "download all your data" and had it save a "takeout" ZIP file on my Google Drive. I then tried adding a few files to drive and removing them then "really" removing them. In both cases a "removed" file (in the Trashcan but not "really" removed) did not appear in the Takeout archive. I then created a new Takeout archive and had it send it as an email to my gmail account. In both cases it's everything from my drive, calendar, all emails, contacts, bookmarks, photos, etc.
In the expanded ZIP under the root "Takeout" dir there's an "index.html" with details on all the files. The 2nd archive i created even contained the first archive in it's entirety from the "Takeout" folder on my Drive.

... snipsnip...Front-end code has to take into account multiple operating systems, multiple browsers, multiple versions of those browsers, hundreds of devices, an extremely wide range of processing power and RAM combinations... in short, your back-end code is a walk in the park.
That UI and BYOPOSSP (Bring Your Own POS Smart Phone) stuff is killer complex. Much harder than
* JBoss and IIS load balancing for Apache or Tomcat
* Supported configurations for AWS, Google Cloud or Rackspace
* Full encryption for data at rest and in transit
* Works with older version of Oracle (don't ask -- COTS product integration) and latest version of SQL Server
* Nearly transparent switchover to/from DR (Disaster Recovery) data center with no data loss and minimal change in "end user experience" (i.e. latency)
* 11 second max wait time for any end-user app query in a multi-TB db. Including the time for user's lame-ass pad to render the page. via wifi. Ok, so this is split responsibility between client-facing and infrastructure, but it just goes to show it ain't us-vs-them / front-vs-back end. Same lady signs everyone's paycheck. Flinging poo just makes us all stink.
We recognize that connecting people isn't enough by itself. We also need to work to bring people closer together. We changed our whole mission and company focus to reflect this last year.
I've observed that social media in general has turned out to be better at dividing, isolating and siloing people than it is at unifying. I think social media is more about people talking than about listening. More about expressing one's one opinion than being enlightened by the opinions of others. More about people trying to distribute their ideas and beliefs and fears like tiny seeds on the winds of the internet. But those seeds fall on sterile, desiccated ground.
I don't think this is how social media wanted to be, just how it, or it's user base has evolved. Of course I reserve the right to be wrong. My Daytimer quote for the day is from Dean Rusk:
One of the best ways to persuade others is with your ears -- by listening to them
Trump is good at misdirection and baiting the media and the public-at-large. When he says "look over here at this naughty Amazon", he's not serious; he's really trying to divert attention from some fjnork-up someplace else.
To my mind, providing an on-site service staffed with real people who make real mistakes is way different than collecting money for marketing someone else's product. I can see how Amazon will face the same lawsuit challenges that doctors in America current endure. A client will sue claiming that something got damaged or stolen. And talk about going after deep pockets; none deeper.
Waving the flat-earth flag is just a way to get attention or ridicule others who "ignore the science". Instead of being on Twitter or backing/denying climate change he goes all frisby. I do like the steam approach though. If he really wants to make an impression, he could fire the boilers passenger pigeon kidneys or sperm whale oil.
I can understand how they could triangulate on a known device to determine it's location. Google can do that. But can it go the other way? Like, use the Fedex surveillance videos to determine when the suspect arrived and left that location, then query for any phone that followed that pattern. Doing this a couple times and you've got his IMEI or other identifying signature. But what about the "ping" mentioned and what is the "it" that "pings" the phone and how does that reveal the "exact location"? Does it turn on GPS (if it's off?)
The phone's GPS capabilities can track the phone within 5 to 10 feet and can also provide "historical" or "prospective" location information. It can also "ping" the phone, forcing it to reveal its exact location.
On an unrelated note; the police should have suspected that the suspect might not want to be taken alive, and that a bomb maker might have some means handy to ensure that. They should have apprehended him in an unfamiliar and isolated context, like when he was trying to take a piss. The bomb in his vehicle could have just as easily been something much more powerful.

On the other hand, we know that Amazon is getting into the health-care biz. Perhaps this is a foot-in-the-door to at-home nursing services for the soon-to-be-senile baby boomers. Now there's a market waiting for exploitation.
