The flip-side to this is "easy come, easy go". When one starts storing their stuff in somebody else's space, it might go away if the provider closes shop. Even if you are able to download your data, you still need to find another app that can read it.
For all the grumbling about MS Office, they do a great job with backwards compatibility and offer "read-only" versions of their apps for free.
The only real answer is to go to a few different stores and try the various different keyboards. I did this and found that some of the most highly recommended models and keyswitches were uncomfortable to me.
Same with mice and chairs. Anything that touches your body is apt to be a very personal decision.
The new part is not the idea of coating to delay rot. That has been done for years, usually with waxes or gases.
Apparently, they are simply working out a new coating that like many others before it has its origins in nature, followed by many manipulations that one does not find in nature.
This will effectively deprecate compatibility with really old Bluetooth devices ( prior to 2.1, c.a. 2007) because manufacturers likely will drop support for legacy pairing (the 4 digit code, which is almost always "0000").
Every time I pull an old router out of the closet, I do a reset to factory defaults, then look up the factory default password on the internet.
The text of the law is publicly available and easily readable.

This does not necessarily preclude factory default passwords.
My hope is that Carplay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink merge into an interoperable standard. It would be awfully nice if my choice of car (or at least the head-end) did not force me into a particular phone model.
Please, explain to me the benefit for the average computer user of a display that is "taller than it is wide" - don't forget, many 'average users' do a lot of work in spreadsheets, an application that lends itself to a "wider than it is tall" display.
I normally have one monitor in landscape mode (16:9) and the second in portrait (9:16). Although spreadsheets tend to work best in landscape, word processors and text editors are generally better in portrait. Other apps get moved between monitors depending on which works better for the particular document.
When people stop by my desk and express curiosity, I usually pop up a newspaper website and they catch on pretty quick.
That is about 1 in 16 households world-wide. Wow. It is also 50% greater than the number of people that voted for the US president in 2016 and are now likely cranked that he is messing with our free shipping. Good thing for him that most are outside of the US and therefore do not get a say in the matter.
The letter also points out that 5+ Billion items were shipped via prime last year. That is a stack approximating the distance to the moon (with very sloppy math). It is also about 50 items per prime account. Given that each shipment probably averages two items (mine do), I don't think Amazon is losing any money on this deal.

Pages 74-75 of the instructions offer a half-dozen ways to pay. As long as at least one is available, I am pretty sure I can guess how that discussion would go.
Walmart pay does this. The trick is that the a unique QR code is displayed on the credit card reader for your transaction. When you scan the code with the Walmart app on your phone, it links you to the transaction and uses a stored credit card to make the payment. It also downloads a copy of the receipt into your walmart app.
Apparently, they implemented it to avoid fees charged by Apple, Google, Samsung and other mobile payment services.
He [James Comey] goes on to lament the lack of "true listening" between tech and law enforcement, saying that "the leaders of the tech companies don't see the darkness the FBI sees,"
Similarly, the FBI appears to be not listening to the tech companies and not seeing the darkness they see. Things such state secrets repeatedly escaping (Snoden, Reality Winner, TSA keys), a perception that when a secret is shared with somebody else, it no longer is a secret and a belief that if one person can "break" encryption, so can somebody else.
Every time I use my paypal card I get a notification of a charge both via email and SMS within a minute or two of the transaction. I find it disturbing that my bank does not do this, nor does any credit card,...
My Discover card does this via Discover App installed on my phone. Normally, my phone beeps about 10 seconds after the card is approved. The fun part is that at gas stations and hotels, I can actually see the pre-approval go through when I start and the final purchase when I am done.
I'm hoping that their next step is to add some approval features to the app, requiring either proximity to the store or that I click "OK".
Good for them. It is refreshing to see a company helping out the rock we all live on. We may have our beefs regarding other business practices, but this is one we should all appreciate.
Simply jam cell frequencies in the school except maybe at certain times of the day.
There is federal law prohibiting this "simple" solution.
Calls and messages from parents could be allowed and texts between students could be limited and monitored.
This, too is illegal throughout most of the world without notifying at least one and sometimes both parties to the conversation.
Requiring phone calls to students to go through the office is a pretty good solution. The office is much better prepared to minimize disruption in the classroom and is able to support a true emergency (e.g. death of a family member) with immediate emotional support / counseling to the student or the classroom.
I teach at the university level (upper level undergraduate course) and I am shocked at the number of students who simply do not show up to class and of those that do show up the number that spend the entire period playing games on their phones or computers.
A good buddy of mine was a University prof. He, too, allowed students to make their own decisions regarding their effort. The one difference is that he kept attendance (and attentiveness) records, specifically to deal with one scenario. All too often, adult students would bring in their angry parents who had footed the bill for a bad grade from what the student claimed was an "unfair teacher". After getting the adult student's permission to discuss the issue in front of the parent, he was generally able to change the entire discussion simply by showing the attendance records to the parents.
Like every engineering disaster, somebody found the problem, and failed to communicate its severity. In this case, they decided it wasn't a safety issue (cracks in a brand new bridge!) and left a voice mail with somebody else who was out of the office for a few days.
There's no substitute for risk assessments by fully qualified engineers, of course. But those engineers also need communication skills â" including persuasive skills. Engineers who can find somebody in authority and convince them to take action save lives.
A recent press release reports that there was a meeting the morning before the collapse in which engineers and persons in authority concluded that the cracks did not compromise the structural integrity.
So no, I don't think there was a problem with "failure to escalate". Really, the big message here is that one needs to reserve judgement until the facts have a chance to surface. There is an official investigation underway. Amongst other things, It will determine if the analysis of the cracks was accurate and it will also determine if an appropriate escalation process was followed.
While waiting, we should be asking if other "civilians" are at risk due to the lessons we have not yet learned from this collapse. For example, we may temporarily decide to prohibit "civilians" from being underneath active construction sites until we better understand how to protect them.
The part I never understood about the Flint water crisis is why the State did not supply countertop filters and a few replacement cartridges to each household. It would have offered immediate protection until the protective coating had a chance to rebuild, at maybe 20% of the price of the first emergency aid payment.

AA587 was an Airbus A300B4-605R. Just goes to show that preventing accidents requires substantial international cooperation.
Not the company I would want to give direct access to my bank account.

From TFA, "Some Apple Watch Series 4 owners in Australia". Australia DST started on Oct 7th. It will not end until April 7, 2019.
