The industry premise is busted at the moment. The idea of tracking people is insane. They need to reorient to topics of article/discussion/selection/search... and for just that session only.
Engineers are paid to deliver commercial products as quickly and cheaply as possible with little regard to actual knowledge... until the company gets sued. There will be exceptions.
Scientists are paid to solved questions with testable and repeatable solutions. There will be exceptions.
I'd wouldn't be surprised if there might be a technology timing factor involved in this as well. As in reserving some expansion for newer less fragile battery chemistry tech. None of the lithium-cobalt variants ever really made the grade.
Hasn't it been obvious that Monsanto was a tainted brand for decades? The only thing protecting Monsanto's dirty practises was the bias of US ownership.
I believe troll is the recognised term. But psycho works too. When they come from a position of nonsense, they're not hard to identify. Usually the first words out are deluded speak.
Facebook does a great job of friending them all to one another so they can amplify the recruiting process.
The weirdest part is if one goes through an argument logically with them they rather quickly try to change the subject or throw a myriad of red-herring in to derail the exchange. Meaning they know it's all bullshit.
"When was the last time you consumed something that wasn't trying to sell you something, or harvest your personal data to sell you things better?"
I guess that means there is still a group beyond that refused to be suckered. Funnily, I didn't explicitly try to avoid ads. They just happen to not appear with scripting disabled.
The only thing that covers is your expectation of continued service.
Privacy is covered by law and is not something that can just be signed away because a company would like it that way.
The real problem is simply these companies aren't being challenged in a way that financially hurts. I'd be happy if Facebook couldn't exist due to burden of fines.
The researchers of the published "research" are starting from the position that Earth is the only life-bearing planet in existence. And appear to assume that to be the only option!
"Earth's status as the only life-sustaining planet..." is such an obviously flawed assumption. It's worse than saying there is nothing inside a black-hole just because the current maths breaks down.
Absolutely correct. Which is why such matters always end up dealt with via regulations. And the fear comes from the fact they see the writing on the wall. Europe already has their GDPR. USA is next.
Europe already got their privacy rules, so that's a known now. In USA, it's still an unknown. In Asia regions, no-one gives a shit about privacy so the execs don't fear it yet.
by dwarfing economies of scale that were emerging even as the C64 was at full strength. Motorola was taken out the same way. IBM even suffered. There's many others like DEC, Sun, SGI, Atari. Apple all but died under the onslaught. They only survived by filling a gaping hole in music sales that the music exec's still can't get their heads around. The Web enabled Apple to shift out of general computing.
It's a chicken or egg problem. Everyone wants to use the same software. So you can't design hardware for something that isn't the mainstream without it being expensive.
Until the invasion of Iraq, I never got news from any designated channels. My informative behaviour changed, though, as a result of the national downward slide that I found distasteful.
I imagine the youth of today that don't have a perception of "before" will be similar now to how I was before.
I sure as hell get that at every shop I walk into these days. And it ain't restricted to tech products at all.
My interaction with most sales staff at most shops usually end very abruptly, and often rudely now. Simply because they are clearly not trying to help in any meaningful way. Which is usually is around questions of specs and function of the products they are meant to be selling!
Interpolation as a CRT TV feature predates that era. But it would be correct to say the so-called wars were spawned as a cheap response to the wow-factor of the first interpolators - which were expensive beasts!

The phrase will mean the logs are secret for the visitation only, as in a hidden camera scenario. Revealed after the recording is made.
Ecuador will be spilling everything it has and spinning a yarn to go with it.

If those count?
The trades are full of small and medium contracting firms, not to mention no shortage of self-employed as well. Far from being a new thing of course.

That is all advertising is after all. Even with regulation forcing them to do better, they'll still be fighting an uphill battle.
... on being charged more than once a year are dead!
The original paper opens with this: "Earth's status as the only life-sustaining planet ..."
And then never strays from that as the only option. It's an obvious dumb assumption that projects into the conclusion.

would have been 30 years ago!
Since Mozilla recently also adopted the same plug-in interface for Firefox I'm guessing this is going to affect Firefox as well.
Would Mozilla and developers be willing to split from Google's way?

is they're placing organisational work flow under the title of collaboration.

Yeah, same. Probably be a blank page for me.

They may as well be machines.
Difference is, humans can both predict and control the climate if we want. We just need to decide to act.
I remember years of having to ration petrol because we were told we had to. Everyone just got on with it.
