Yep. Now that Uber has provided it to Boston Police, etc., "anonymized", it will be difficult to put the genie back in the bottle. Expect 3. Court Subpoenas for non-anonymized data. Uber should develop a plan to dump false or trivial data in if subpoenaed. Deleting data could be a legal violation of the subpoena. Intentionally mixing in random false data points before a subpoena is issued should be legal.
The story I had always heard from friends in Taipei's Tech Sector was that Apple had long subcontracted the iPod production to Taiwan (Hon Hoi Precision Tech Group, owned by Terry Gou, aka Foxconn) and that the display geeks in Taiwan - who had been trying to improve touch screens for ATM machines moving from CRT to LCD - introduced it in the model. According to my pals (now retired) Apple realized how important the multi device implications could be and hired an insider from the Taiwan shop to move to a Vancouver subcontractor.
The touch screen technology, according to Taipei geeks, was originally German origin, but the German company had never succeeded in finding a profitable use for it, and they had bought it in a bankruptcy and tried applying it to ATM displays. This article doesn't prove this story, but it does appear to fit the iPod demo story. Maybe someone at/. knows the German company.
If it replaces baking soda which is otherwise in demand in the marketplace, then even if it is released it has displaced carbon that would otherwise have been released, right?

Ford CEO certainly applauded Trump's pro-business posture. But the articles CLEARLY state that the Ford Focus and Escort jobs are going to Hermasillo (a different Mexico factory) and that the jobs in Michigan are for a completely unrelated electric vehicle which was NEVER going to be made in Mexico. Is Ford CEO smart to play it as a "thanks for lower regulations and taxes" move? Perhaps so. But the Michigan jobs (electric vehicles) were NEVER going to Mexico, and the cancelled Mexico plant operations are moving to Hermasillo in Sonora Mexico.
Here is the quote from the article you post which says the Two Decisions (Michigan investment in electric and Hermisillo Mexico investment instead of San Louis Potosi Mexico Ford Focus plant:
Ford had planned to build the Focus, a small car, in the new factory. It will instead move production of the model from Michigan to an existing plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, a move that saves money and limits the amount of capacity devoted to the product.
Your ad homimen attack on WaPo may be true. But a decision to make socks in Michigan is unrelated to a decision to make Twinkies in Mexico's Hermisillo instead of Mexico's Potosi. Trump and Ford CEO are apparently palsy, maybe Trump does deserve credit. I'm simply pointing out that the electric car jobs in Michigan have nothing to do with shifting jobs between two Mexico locations (making Ford Focus in an Escort plant)
I have read the linked article and article in WSJ and WashPost. There appears to be some confusion in the Ars Technica article, and in the summary. The investment in the Flat Rock Michigan plant is to create new electric vehicles, to maintain employment for the Ford Escort employees, as Ford continues its plan to move the Escorts to 100% in Mexico. This is similar to the November story, when Ford moved mature Lincoln manufacturing from Louisville KY to Mexico, but invested in a new vehicle manufacturing in KY rather than close the plant.
"At Ford, Joseph Hinrichs, president of Ford in the Americas, said the decision to produce the newly announced cars in the United States was made recently and without consulting people connected to Trump. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford shared the news with Trump in a phone call Tuesday morning, though the details of that call were not immediately available.
While the Ford Focus will soon be produced south of the border, Hinrichs said the 3,500 workers who currently make the car at its production facility in Wayne, Mich., will instead build two yet-to-be-named vehicles, and thus those jobs will stay in place."
Trump seems very talented at getting his name into headlines about decisions that have nothing to do with him
One thing Mao still gets credit for is wiping out the heroin and opium trade, in record time. The Red Army backed Communist Party took heroin users and their families and executed them publicly in the streets. Using was made a capital offense in all cases, no ifs ands or buts. I wouldn't trade democracy and social nuance for the efficacy of totalitarianism, but if China isn't democratizing anytime soon then to hell with the ivory buyers, post haste. Extinction is forever, and our generation will probably be remembered for hundreds of years for that one thing if we don't get a handle on it. http://www.revcom.us/a/china/o...
This. And particularly in Illinois, the state where Intercon worked, where licensed landfilling of leaded CRT glass is permitted for this reason. Illinois permitted the Peoria Illinois landfill to be in the CRT disposal business. See Illinois House Bill 6321 (HB 6321) and its companion Senate Bill 2770 (SB 2770) to go further and actually state that it is a "form of recycling" (a bridge too far for me).
As another commenter posted, if your read the charges against Brundage, this is #1 and #2 an IRS tax cheating case and #3 a fraud case (publicly claiming Intercon never, ever landfilled CRT glass). The TI calculators were probably better managed in China, but if you accept payment for DOS - destroy on site - you nevertheless have committed fraud. There is no big pile of export dumping that we can see here. Arguably the original sin was committed by the NGO who accused export markets of bad behavior based on their race (never saw a single reference to anything bad happening), which forced clients to demand "zero export" services, which led to fraudulent behavior when the export market is superior, or when landfilling vitrified CRT glass is less harmful than recycling it into dust no one wants.
There is more lead in leaded glass diningware than in CRT glass. What elevates this story is the hyperbole over e-waste, which mainly rests on hyperbole.
IMHO the environmental activist community dropped the ball after Rain Forest preservation was the #1 agenda topic in the 1990s. In addition to being a carbon sink, the forests are the habitat for most threatened species. I was always lukewarm to Al Gore and 350.org for that political reason, they lost a lot of activist invested collateral.
I was under the impression that people with extremely strong views just post far more often, rather than that the readers who have a job and a life have gone away.
Wealthy is relative. When I lived in Africa for 30 months in the mid 1980s, I was (as a white man) presumed to be very wealthy by a far higher percentage of people than I was in the USA. And in fact, relatively speaking, I probably was far wealthier. I found a lot of "fast friends" were attracted to engaging with me, some out of common decency to make outsiders feel welcome, but others definitely on the bet that if they befriended me they could ask for a loan or a favor.
Naturally, the more people are trying to "make friends" with you, the more discerning you have to be in accepting those friendships. If I was a billionaire in the USA, I imagine there'd be similarities.
The issue is that the leaked emails were stolen and are being released by an actor with the capability of altering them (replacing the word "didn't" with "did" for example, or deleting context). If you cannot eliminate the potential for contaminated data, then you cannot either confirm or deny. So no, it isn't the Dog that Didn't Bark. If the press or HRC or Podesta says "these are real" and then a fake one is found, how do you go back and undo that?
If it is Russia, they will certainly release all real ones until the final week, and then who knows? What if we all accept they are "of course real" and report on them as such and then one appears the last minute (insulting Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada, NC etc) that alters a swing state?
Oh get over it. Bernie himself certainly doesn't claim to have gotten more votes than HRC. He complained that the DNC preferred HRC, and was biased. But he did not and does not represent that it directly resulted in him getting fewer votes, and absolutely didn't claim to get more votes. The lack of outrage is rational not "palpable". If there are two candidates, and one wants 9 debates and the other wants 3 debates, and they hold 3 debates not 9 debates, that is not "stealing the election" any more than a football team losing a coin toss has a "game stolen".
Read the links. This was a "cyber-bullying" law basically copied from similar USA attempts to stop "cyber-bullying". From that, a silly blog is written and then submitted as TFA by a/. submitter who boils cyber-bullying to "memes". That sets it up for a master persuader like yourself to inform us that the laws to stop cyber bullying come from radical Islam. Oh, wait, sorry... that was MY spin.
My guess isn't that it comes from Indonesia's peaceful Muslims, but by some sectarian Indonesian graduate of a California liberal arts program. But I don't know that, I'm only able to recognize my own confirmation bias.

I manage an electronics recycling company. We are all hand disassembly, but even we have seen lithium battery fires. The companies which switched to shredding (to reduce labor costs) have had a serious and growing problem with fires from charged lithium batteries exposed to oxygen.
If Earth launched a satellite precisely enough at the direction of the HD164595, and sufficient time elapsed for the distance to make earth's solar orbit fall in the range of the satellite's broadcast, and the satellite was sending communications back towards earth in its trail, could we not prank some future generation by not recording the launch? And how exactly do we know that wasn't done to us? Soviet Russia would have valued being the only ones to know that a signal wasn't coming from aliens, for example. Or some USA billionaire could have planned it, or rogue NASA could have calculated its eventual transmission would increase NASA funding...
If we translate the signal and it says that a Kardasian Prince needs us to transfer money in order to release millions of dollars from his account, it's a bad sign.
Lads, this is the free market at work. Verizon is using stockholder investments to hire people to scope out the next sector. So long as they have competition, they will raise data caps to account for the new bandwidth (unless it's a total fail - no one finds it adds value, and the stock will drop). All the analog spectrum formerly used to send TV shows like "Beverly Hillbillies" and "Gilligan's Island" could perhaps be better managed, but probably not better managed by cantankerous commenters who see every investment by every mulitinational corporation to be doomed from the start.
Anticipating the curmudgeon lad who says that the bandwidth will increase exponentially more for the 1%, I say I care about MY bandwidth yesterday, today, and tomorrow, more than I care how much faster someone else obtains it.
Let me postulate a difference between tomorrow and 50 years ago. Tomorrow a super rich person wins the lottery and simultaneously gains bitcoin, gold, etc. worth 10 to the power of 10 times what all other humans own. He's been given a 999 Trillion dollar coin. The gap tomorrow between the 1% and everyone else is now EXPONENTIALLY greater because this ONE DUDE totally gains inconceivable wealth. Question - were people better off 50 years ago than they will be tomorrow when "the divide between rich and poor" becomes insanely, exponentially greater? Or would you rather have a smart phone and vaccines?
