It's not surprising that this is happening. Software development still costs money. The people that do it are still expecting to get rich or at least comfortably middle class. One way or another you have to bring consumers that expect software to be free, together with developers that expect to make money off the effort.
So we now find ourselves in a place where we have free as in beer software, and the developers neglect to mention it does everything short of giving you colonoscopy to collect your information.
You can either act accordingly take what steps you can to protect yourself and enjoy the bounty, or you can get your respective government to crack down on the pactices and watch deluge of free software you have now dry to a trickle.
You pays for your ticket and you takes your chances.
China’s effort is a 21st-century version of what officials there have been doing for many decades, which is trying to influence American leaders by cultivating an informal network of prominent businesspeople and academics who can be sold on ideas and policy prescriptions and then carry them to the White House. The difference now is that China, through its eavesdropping on Mr. Trump’s calls, has a far clearer idea of who carries the most influence with the president, and what arguments tend to work.
The Chinese and the Russians “would look for any little thing — how easily was he talked out of something, what was the argument that was used,” said John Sipher, a 28-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency who served in Moscow in the 1990s and later ran the agency’s Russia program.
Trump friends like Mr. Schwarzman, who figured prominently in the first meeting between President Xi Jinping of China and Mr. Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the president’s Florida resort, already hold pro-China and pro-trade views, and thus are ideal targets in the eyes of the Chinese, the officials said. Targeting the friends of Mr. Schwarzman and Mr. Wynn can reinforce the views of the two, the officials said. The friends are also most likely to be more accessible.
The Chinese are listening in on his social contacts. Just what are the odds they have military security level phones ? If they didn't get him on one end they would have gotten him on the other.
My question was the Times ignorant or deliberate in not bothering to talk about that aspect of the security equation ?
No it isn't, because it doesn't explain why "lack of exercise" caused no significant increase in obesity in the 1960s and 1970s, and then in the early 1980s causes a dramatic increase.
That's a differen't question. It's like saying Newton's law of gravity and laws of motion don't explain the motion of the planets, because they say nothing about what gives matter inertia or how gravity is transmitted.
Actually I KNOW SEMATECH had a lot of problems getting formed in the first place.
And thank you for snipping out half a statement.
Pretty sure the U.S. government wouldn't look too kindly on what would essentially be the creation of a trust to monopolize a market, or maybe they would times aren't what they used to be.
Take a look at what the food you eat comes packaged in.
I'll take mine as an example Breakfast: Oatmeal, bacon and eggs. Oatmeal packeaged in a plastic container, bacon in a plastic pouch, eggs in in plastic foam carton Lunch: Salami onion and cheese on rye (good jewish rye not that supermarket crap): Salami plastic pouch again, cheese plastic pouch, rye bread paper bag Dinner: Stir fried vegetables (from my garden)
Of that only the food I grew myself, and the Rye I got from a kosher baker didn't have plastic involved, and I am not all that sure about the Rye. Is it any wonder there's plastic in poop ?
The question is what effect does it have ? Probably none as food grade plastics are indigestible and aren't going to be spending that much time in your digestive tract. Kids after all have been eating the damndest things since time immemorial
Let me make sure I understand. You go out of your way to get bread from a kosher baker, and make a point of how its good Jewish rye and not supermarket crap, and then slap on crap salami from a plastic pouch instead of buying some wrapped in paper from a butcher?
The baker is next to the supermarket I buy all my bread there. They also do excellent pastry.
Well seeing as food includes lemon juice and vinnegar plus a variety of digestive enzymes, or in the case of cheese, being inert is most definitely part of the spec.
They were already getting big by the end of the 70s You had the NES out by 83 it sold I want to say 50 million plus units ? have fun look it up and correct me.
This is a DESCRIPTION of the problem, not an EXPLANATION. It doesn't explain why obesity rates TRIPLED. What CAUSED a hundred million people to stop exercising and start eating more? Why didn't they stop in the 1970s or the 1960s instead? There was a massive change in metabolisms for no apparent reason.
Jeebus no, a Description of the problem is saying Obesity increased X percent. Saying it happened because people weren't getting as much exercise is an explanation.
These two statements are mutually exclusive
Video games actually became big in the 1990s, and mostly they displaced TV watching.
Median and average TV hours did not change much from a decade earlier
The first one is also likely false.
Also, the early 1980s were part of the disco years, and long distance running was a fad.
Have you ever been to disco ? Alcohol isn't exactly low cal, but admittedly the coke might offset he calories, the rest of the experience is hardly a workout.
The number of long distance runners is miniscule if the videogamers could actually move fast enough to catch them they could easily overwhelm them like a zombie horde.
I have a real difficulty with that proposition for the simple reason neither Miami nor Fort Lauderdale are pedestrian friendly especially not Fort Lauderdale. Unless you want to have to shower and change your clothes again(from trying to walk through the sauna we call climate) when you get to work your going to need a vehicle at both ends.
No they don't. Your citation basically says that "people got fat because they got fat". It identifies no underlying cause.
People got fat because they weren't going out and exercising as much.
Well lets see what you had happening around 1980 You had video games becoming a big thing. You had more television via cable in 1980, back when All In The Family was the best show on television and the original Battlestar Galactica was the best science fiction, there really wasn't much pull from the idiot box All of a sudden you had HBO playing things you actually wanted to see and without commercials then Skinemax came along and started piping just short of hardcore porn into the home yeah that changed the dynamic.

Obesity in American shows no signs of slowing, and the reasons why it’s so widespread can be traced to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle that keeps people inactive, and eating, for more hours of the day.
The problem is especially concerning among children and teens, according to the latest study published in Preventive Medicine. The study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey from 2003-2004 and 2005-2006. More than 12,500 people ages 6 to 84 years wore activity trackers to log how many of their waking hours they spent active and how many they spent sitting
YouTube enjoys protections under the communications decency act, on the basis they are a neutral conveyance for others.
Well they sure as hell aren't. Same goes Facebook. If they want to keep their privileged status they should actually have to be neutral, only censoring illegal content.
Hate is newspeak for "right wing opinions," and when people call for censorship of 'hate' they basically want all right wing opinions to be censored. By labelling it 'hate' they can claim to be doing good, when in actual fact these pro-censorship individuals are the most dangerous and evil people in society.
Hate speech is anything that someone with pull doesn't want other people to think about.
It's not just right wing opinions, it's incorrect opinions of any kind or actual history.
Remember when Russia with Putin was going to be our besty ? When Hillary proclaimed the reset, and Obama told Medvedev he would have more room after the elections ?
Boom now it's back to Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia
Their biggest problem is they really don't make you much safer, just more inconvenient.
If you're pirating, they make you much safer.
Yeah need to tell that to actual VPN operators
Our VPN service and VPN services in general are not designed to be used to commit illegal activity. It is very naive to think that by paying a subscription fee to a VPN service you are free to break the law without any consequences. This includes certain hardcore privacy services which claim you will never be identified, these types of services that do not cooperate are more likely to have their entire VPN network monitored and tapped by law enforcement, thus affecting all legitimate customers.

Nothing better signal than stupid money starting to dominate.
it's only because you are the product.

My question was the Times ignorant or deliberate in not bothering to talk about that aspect of the security equation ?
He wasn't implying anything, he flat out stated that the author had a history of error.
And stating things without supporting evidence has become SOP at the Times.
Hell did you even read the story ? The people it claims he is talking to on the other end almost certainly don't have secured phones themselves.
Changes in child rearing likely were a factor as well.
I'd point out that I never heard the term cocooning applied to lifestyle before the 80s
Fair enough.
No it isn't, because it doesn't explain why "lack of exercise" caused no significant increase in obesity in the 1960s and 1970s, and then in the early 1980s causes a dramatic increase.

The baker is next to the supermarket I buy all my bread there. They also do excellent pastry.
After I wrote my comment I realized I used a plastic basket to carry the vegetables.
Well seeing as food includes lemon juice and vinnegar plus a variety of digestive enzymes, or in the case of cheese, being inert is most definitely part of the spec.
Well this is how the food nearby me is packaged. Even salami in its own casing comes in some form of plastic blister pack.
Just as a side note while replying I realized the food I grow and harvest I collect in a plastic basket.
They were already getting big by the end of the 70s

FWIW these people peg the number of Americans that have run a marathon at .5%

Oh wait I was.
