Yes! I'd like to tune it to NPR and have it automatically switch to the nearest local NPR station as I drive cross country. And when I'm out of radio range but still within cell range, I want it to stream NPR with my data plan. This would be a good substitute for satellite radio.
Also, it should automatically send me hyperlinks of stories and other things they talk about. Don't open them, just put the links in a list that I can look at later (or not).
Also it should let me pause, rewind, and fast-forward live radio like a DVR. If I lose all signal, I want it to pause playback, download what I missed when it can and then start playing it back as soon as possible.
So there are still a number of ways terrestrial radio can improve and become relevant again.
Fossil fuels..and especially nuclear are very concentrated energy sources
False. Uranium does not naturally exist in a concentrated form, and likewise petroleum is getting more and more difficult to find, extract, and refine. Nuclear and fossil fuel advocates choose to pretend this aspect of energy generation doesn't exist.
Yes, there are a lot of errors on Ancestry.com, but also a lot of useful information to jump-start your own research. If a family tree connection is not documented, you have someone to contact to ask why they made that particular connection.
You are referring to the theory of justice that punishment is a deterrence (which, by the way, doesn't seem to have worked in this case). Are you sure that throwing people in jail is a good way to keep people out of jail?
Again, it shows that you hate big companies/corporations.
I hate big companies because I want them to take responsibility for their mistakes and stop shifting their costs onto taxpayers?
To me, the wrong doing start when they repeat the action to abuse the bug, period.
To me, the mistakes began long before that. But maybe it's just me because I'm an engineer and I prefer to proactively find and fix the root cause of a problem rather than try to reactively clean up the mess it makes. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
What would jailing the couple accomplish? Do you think society needs to be protected from them because they might find and exploit another vulnerability?
What not jailing them would so is send a powerful message to Lowe's and all other companies that they need to stop shifting their costs onto taxpayers and start hiring better people instead of outsourcing at every opportunity.
It may be that they weren't experienced, didn't have enough time to look over everything before it went live, or managers overrode their recommendations.
These are all signs of a company that doesn't respect security and that expects taxpayers, through law enforcement, to pick up the slack. I don't like paying taxes and so I have little tolerance for such incompetence
What does Lowe's deserve for creating the loophole and not hiring qualified security people to find and fix it? Do we really want a world where companies don't have to face the consequences of their actions?
So that customer found multiple vulnerabilities in Lowe's order fulfillment process. I think that's worth a bug bounty of well over $13k. Lowe's should say thank you and call it even.
$30B / 3k people = $10 million per person. That's a heck of a lot of economic benefit per person.
Indeed. It seems silly to say that preventing the premature death of some random person would bring $10M in economic benefit.
The $30 billion is the total economic benefit, and the 3,000 is number of deaths only.
Cal State Fullerton came up with a much more conservative estimate of a pollution cost of $1,600 per person per year in health costs, lost income and so on in the San Joaquin Valley.
You are wrong slugger, admit it, deal with it, and move on.
It's interesting how you claim I'm wrong and yet you're the one trying to shift the audience's attention elsewhere. To be honest, that's actually a pretty good strategy.
7. When creating a new Roku account, you will be required to provide a payment method. The payment method allows you to purchase subscriptions to popular channels, rent or buy movies and TV shows, or make other purchases from the Roku Channel Store.
The real difference between Roku and a cable company is that Roku doesn't own the cable or fiber line to your home.
I love my Rokus. I have two of them, a first generation model and a new Premiere+. The Premiere+ is pretty nice. Most video files I throw at it play natively without transcoding, unlike my iPad and Android phone (Nexus 6P).
But Roku the company has always been confused about their role in the channel space. They want to be your cable company but they don't want any part in making sure their channels are high quality (similar to Google's historical role in the Android apps space) or even if they work properly, preferring to shift the blame onto the channel's authors. In fact, I once suggested in their online forum that they could automate the checking of each channel's videostreams as a way to determine which channels should be removed from the channel store, but they temporarily banned me and then locked the thread because my suggestion was "not welcomed."
So it's nice to hear that they're taking a more active approach to ensuring customer satisfaction, but it would be nice if they had been doing it all along without government intervention.
But also game servers, for example old versions of Phantasy Star Online which have gone dark.
Someone should create a series of DNS servers that each captures a moment in time and seamlessly directs queries to modern equivalents or Wayback archives. Just pick the year you want, select the appropriate DNS server, and off you go, surfing or gaming as if it were 1997 again.
$120M / 650 buses = $185k per bus+driver per year.
Those buses sit idle most of the day. They need fuel, maintenance, insurance, and registration; and they depreciate. The analysts may also have calculated in the cost of parking (including the amortized cost of the land which is expensive in Boston), loan servicing (interest), and the opportunity cost of capital (the money tied up in the buses).
Couple that with the fact that Google does have diversity hiring quotas, he's heavily inferring that at least some of his female peers don't deserve the job they're in.
Or that the company meets their quota not by hiring unqualified women but by broadening the female hiring pool in order to bring in more qualified female applicants.
"Our cities need fewer cars, not just cleaner cars."
That's fine but probably not going to happen without some VERY substantial investments in public transit.
Or cities could simply stop forcing developers to build more parking than the market really wants, and let people figure out on their own how to get around. As parking lots are repurposed for buildings, it will make cities more walkable and bikeable, driving up demand for transit, housing near jobs and shopping, and driving down demand for cars, while allowing more jobs and taxpaying businesses to fit within the city's borders to pay for said transit and other amenities. Once again after a long hiatus that begin in the 1940s and 1950s, you could buy a gallon of milk without needing to carry any form of government-issued ID.
Ending socialist (nay, fascist) policies like minimum parking requirements and allowing an undistorted market for transportation to function once again would be wonderful!

Sure, but he left his fingerprint all over the public Internet. At some point a person needs to take responsibility for their own anonymity.
That will only work until human drivers are replaced by self-driving cars that don't tailgate those compromised cars.
False. Uranium does not naturally exist in a concentrated form, and likewise petroleum is getting more and more difficult to find, extract, and refine. Nuclear and fossil fuel advocates choose to pretend this aspect of energy generation doesn't exist.

But can you run fast enough to catch the car after the object obstructing its path has been removed?
At least until we have more data on the safety of self-driving cars.
But I would like to be able to drop myself off at the entrance of wherever I'm going and tell the car to go park itself.
Who do you think created the vulnerability in the first place?
But you are right, I prefer to blame the process, not the people. That implies blaming the big company before the individual.
You are referring to the theory of justice that punishment is a deterrence (which, by the way, doesn't seem to have worked in this case). Are you sure that throwing people in jail is a good way to keep people out of jail?

Yes, please continue.
Both have channels which you pay to the company (Roku or the cable company) who then pays the content provider. So there are some similarities.
Actually, they do:

That sounds like an expensive way to run a DDoS. Has it ever happened in real life?
Starting from step 1 (assembling a botnet), how do you organize an effective DDoS using purely legal means?
These are much cheaper, $15.47 for a 2-pack.
