There is not escaping the reality. It was a plan to push the truthiness of Facebook, a reality social media forum, pushing it's users to accept Facebook content as real and true, so the users accept the idea and put more of the real lives onto Facebook, so that the content could be data mined and to hook people into keeping logged in as much as possible to keep up with what is going on in their digital lives. They pushed hard to make Facebook reality based for datamining and to create a real sense of consequence and risk of loss in not keeping up to data and continually posting, a pretty sick plan.
Even Facebook had chosen to go more fun, more make believe, more pleasantly social, social media, the hooks would not have dug as deep, the reaction to content would mostly be humour and they would have had a whole lot less to data mine. Facebook was made as dangerous as it is, on purpose as a business model, to sell the mind control of it's users to advertisers. Now it is trying to whine about how what it set up on purpose to do, was abused by others, yeah, they were not meant to do that, by design only Facebook executives and the advertising department were meant to do that.
Facebook ain't a social media company, it is a psychopath media company, a company run as psychopath alternate reality media company, an extremely dangerous and disruptive media company. Remember MySpace, that was just ugly on the outside, horrible to look at, clearly Facebook is ugly on the inside, looks pretty but seriously socially ugly on the inside. A closet supporter of terrorism because it generates huge numbers of page views, likely a criminal closet supporter of terrorism, I wonder if they have numbers for how much profit, what kind of terrorist attacks generate, so many died, so many views, so many ads served, most profitable attack locations, most profitable methods of attack.
Well, yeah, everyone knows exactly where the Tesla attacks are coming from. The big automakers advertising departments via ad buys, stories as ads. Especially those eyeing to buy a discounted Tesla. Why develop your own, when you PR department can work with advertisers to target that upstart competitor, try to attack it's credit line and FUD the investors and then buy on discount, all that development work and product line.
So the big makers produce more, out of how many factories, in how many countries and who had to sell of the parts of themselves that they bought, to stave off bankruptcy, even when rescued at tax payer expense.
This without new direct competition out of China and India heating up. There is a idea, to increase production perhaps Tesla should consider a partnership with a automotive company in China, for much, much, much, higher levels of production for regular consumer level entry into the all electric market. So upper end manufacture in the US and more main stream manufacture in China, not necessarily even for the US market, more the international market. Investment would be minimal, Tesla providing the expertise and the China partner supplying the manufacturing, with Tesla supervising quality of production for a base model 3i (i for international).
I will have no problems, I am going to go with press to talk devices only. Don't hit that button on a hand held device and the circuit is open, nothing happens until you close that circuit. Cheap portable bluetooth microphone, with an encrypted link, charged via usb, on the control point which also sets the point to point encryption for the system. Could do the same thing with tablets, specifically push to talk hard wired switches, you could do it with cameras too, affirmed in the specifications of the unit, hard wired push to function, no push, impossible for it to work a customer privacy demand. Don't let them choose whether or not to provide it, force them via customer pressure and even regulation, it should be a required option.
Which is sign of how that pay for that free DNS service. Obviously Google will datamine the crap out of their, we own your browsing history DNS, service. Cloudflare sells no advertising yet, how the hell will it pay for it, to justify the expenditure. Probable answer it makes the security services they sell much cheaper to provide, it saves more money, than it costs, it provides tighter security and of course the CEO fessed up with zero pressure indicative of acknowledgement that it was a bad idea that will not be repeated.
If you do not see the Artificial Intelligence of the Earth's Internet, you just fail to see, how you are plugged into it and are a part of that over reaching Artificial Intelligence, a bio computing unit adding it's processing power to the collective whole, kinda sucks to be used like that but it is just the way it is. The Earth's Internet just used your inputs to further process and drive to a goal as it did mine and as it will feed into others who will generate more inputs, producing more outputs, don't worry you are not part of a borg collective, not really;0.
Back to current designs, they are not Artificial Intelligence at all, not to pick on a group but they far more accurately they are Automated Engineering systems. For those who have not done any engineering, to calc stuff up, you try a test solution, see how close to goal it is, then adjust the variables and see how much close to goal you can get, until you go past and take a step back. So current system are all Automated Engineering system, simply using computer speed to try solution after solution until the get the closest possible to the highest reward solution. Try to take to big chunks and you can create false outcomes, that can not develop but simply skew off because the collation of results seems to provide better outcomes but some of the elements are entirely flawed, just hidden over by the elements that function and as a composite the skew off goal.
Let's cut to the chase, they are probably eyeing the Australian immigration system https://www.australia.gov.au/i..., like it and want to, hmmmm, crossgrade https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki... to it (not going to make an up or down, distinction to that, no way, now how, not that I could give a fuck about the corporate funded SJWs doing their idiotic divide and weaken bullshit, the fake left, not the far left, the make the rest of the left look bad, fake left, fuck em, but it should be a democratic decision made by the majority of citizens). Of course the US will tweak it their way (making it less functional), rather than just copy some other countries system.
Now the presents a new question, should it be free or should there be a resource pool providing rewards for that kind of voluntary work. It is a good idea that it happens, should not an effort be made to promote it and provide some sort of reward for those who do it 'on spec' https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki..., for a job well done and the service it provides.
Not even close. Under law, a professional is a professional and that ties to responsibility for actions. That design was professionally criminally negligent and should be treated as such, with the penalty to reflect the harm causes and that means possible custodial sentence along with a massive fine. Let's not get freaky on the custodial sentence though, probably sufficient to let them 'cool their jets' with no more than a 90 day sentence if no one died but at least 30 days, sort of put the wind up them, focus their attention, remind them there are real penalties for being a crap professional, being in a role you should not be in. If anyone dies though, manslaughter charges.
Find those individually responsible fine them, let them feel the weight of a custodial sentence, 30 days and fine the company much more. Custodial sentences should be the norm for criminal negligence as a professional, start licensing coders because of the harm they can cause. Differing grades, low grade licences for low risk work, high grade licences for high risk work. If you do not force them to do a good job, they will continue to do a shitty job, with a meh, someone else's problem for the shitty work the coder has done.
You are only consider stable cell state, how about cell division state, where the cell is dividing at a molecular level, you are adding energy to that and it is happening all of the time, hence probability outcomes catch up to you. Disrupt that molecular cell division and replication and you are rolling the die, just suck it up, happen at any time from any damage, some acts produce more risk than others, the fewer risks you take the better your probability outcomes of successful molecular cell division and replication and one bad cell can kill you, and you have a whole lot of cells to roll the die or is that roll to die on http://www.abc.net.au/science/.... Sure hard radiation can melt you, like duhh, but this is all about probability outcomes, probably specifically during cell division and replication (this is a continual process, most likely the greatest risk where cells divide and replicate the most often and reduced risk where cells last longer, you are rolling the die more often).
For the investors not for the users. Yeah the cloud, should be more accurately called the digital panopticon, spy on everyone all of the time. More powerful computers than ever, less need for the cloud, yet they push the cloud, to spy on everyone. Companies had better wake up to the fact they are giving away their financial standing, the proprietary secrets and beneficial business practices and leaving themselves 100% hostage to their digital panopticon supplier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (you should read that article and see it as an accurate description of the cloud). You use the cloud, they are no longer your supplier, one of many, they own your information, they own your company and they own you, they can kill you company at the press of a button, they can sell you details to competitors, they can recruit your staff for other companies (not only will they datamine your company, they will datamine your staff including after hours and data mine your customers, the whole idea is nuts. The benefits are empty marketing and the risks are out of your control and M$ is most definitely not a trustworthy supplier, not in the least.
There market share is shrinking rapidly, that being market share of computers as a whole. Losing in phones, servers, laptops, tablets, smart TVs(the likely future biggest high end market, screen size does count) and remaining stable in a shrinking desktop market and the only reason they are not losing in that market is because of no broad app base for Linux Desktops and Apple is only fudging around the edges of the desktop, not really targeting that market, Steam is the dark horse but they are a bit slow, like not having a FOSS section for non gaming applications on their web site.
M$ it's branding is shite, people tend to hate it, so they are extremely vulnerable. Once they get hit by any market share momentum, they will go down pretty fast. The cloud is actually more risky, you can expect porting laws to become reality, they must allow you to port your data to other providers upon request, you know it will become law. Extremely risky move, the quite achiever is actually the better strategy but dicks will be dicks.
But, but, but, it's (not knowing how the individual wishes to gender Identify, me I prefer attack helicopter although I am considering wedge tail eagle, bungil for short https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so who am I to guess about other people's gender) a lawyer not a coder, what has the FOSS world come to, the horror. Good to see there is much more to FOSS than just cantankerous coders;D.
I like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-.... I am some what fair and just (some might say a fair bastard and just a cunt but that's another story, service in the military the things they teach), I let some run and block others. Scripts on bad sites get blocked, scripts advertising bad products get blocked, over the top ads or ads in front of content get blocked, the rest run, even pop ups well more accurately open up in a new tab are allowed.
Obviously you have not idea how good structural engineering design works. Failure should never result in collapse but in excess deflection and cracks, at design load, at that time you should stop using the structure and then analyse the failure for possible repair, but generally due to the alteration of the materials especially steel, when it deforms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... it gets stronger due to altered crystalline structure but becomes more brittle and is likely to fail completely. So they saw cracks in the bridge and did nothing, that is criminal negligence and those responsible should be prosecuted for it. The bridge worked somewhat close to design, it failed partially, the failure was visible in the form of cracks, at that time action should have been taken, not longer use the bridge, or if bridge failure was with light load use, immediately tear down the bridge. The engineers were partially in fault, poor design leading to failure, those who own and control the bridge, cracks become visible and they took no action, were criminally negligent (those cracks are actually a design element, the first signs of failure and should be cause for immediate serious investigation).
Cracks in those kinds of structural members spanning a gap, are cause for immediate action, the owners are screwed, the engineers are in a bun fight with the builders, materials suppliers, as they go through they structure to analyse every possible element in the point of failure but they were at most fifty percent but all the way down to ten percent or even nothing. Failure to take actions drops it right onto the owners and operators of the bridge, based upon them becoming aware of the cracks well before it's actually collapse, the second the cracks become visible action should have been taken. America 'D' grade infrastructure (that's second world grade, not first world grade be clear on that) due to insane greed but hey you got the F35 Flying Pig that Israel pretends to fly over Iran at the US government's request in vain attempt to shore up F35 Flying Pig sales, ohhh, so lame;DDD.
We are all mud monkeys - Earth Primates, well by far the majority of us, I will make no claim for or against visiting anthropologists or how far replication of Earth's internet has spread;).
The ads mainly affect the people buying the ads, they are scammed. Ads on the internet, sell me stuff, like WTF? I am on the internet, the ads sell me nothing, I have access to the internet, anything I want to buy I look up, check, evaluate options, and then decide whether to meh, buy nothing or buy a particular something, that often decide by the closest purchase opportunity. So advertisings sells me nothing, that is just the way it is.
Look straight up, the numbers mean it is all bullshit. You know gave thousands of advertisers targeting you with different products, each compete for seconds of you time, during the day you will see thousands of ads but for different products and the total composite of ads dilutes any impact, you can not possible remember one ad amongst the thousands products et al offered. Old day you would see tens of products advertised hundred of times, now its thousand of products advertised once.
The numbers they produce, yeah, bullshit baffles brains, https://www.urbandictionary.co.... Those advertising companies flash off numbers the advertisers can not check. Look according to Google advertisers had no problem cutting off youtube obviously becomes it did not have that much impact.
The only ads that really work are banners tied to content, don't get carried away with the banners, you sort of want them to infiltrate the subconscious as the reader focuses on content, all very subtle and you just want your ad as the banner for that article for the full day or even week. Adwords is just a scam targeted at advertisers, as are the first handful of advertiser links in the search results. I noticed Google cheated on those, if you were looking for a company the search would produce them as number 1 in the ad block, you click they pay and below the page in the results, so you could not see it. I noticed the change it used to be 1st in the ad block 1st in the results below but you would ignore the ad block as you trained yourself to do and click the result in the search not in the ad. So they tweaked it to hide that company down the results so you would only see the ad link and not results and click that link so google could charge the company for a search and pretend it was an advertisement and claim 'SUCCESS' of advertisement, 'er' no the advertiser just got scammed. When I noticed it I checked, actively searching for specific companies and again and again, number 1 in the advertisement and below the fold so you could not see it in the search results, page down and there it would be, scammy fuckers.
Googles et al number one advertising target is advertisers not us and the data mine them and know them and know how to treat them and what they want to see and what will fool them. Google datamines everyone, including the staff of competitors, including advertising company staff, including management of every single corporation they can. They are also likely playing the insider trading game with that datamining but shhhhhhhhh, Alphabet does that not google.
I defy anyone to believe Google can not inside trade any corporations based upon data mining all it's staff and management, most companies should dump google in favour of https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck.... Probably the SEC should consider investigating data mining companies to check to see whether they are datamining companies staff in order to profit by insider trading, that datamining makes them an insider, getting information before anyone else does.
Smart does not defeat experience, ever, smart just means you learn fast, not that you automagically gain knowledge. Smart means you develop well based upon the experience you gain and that given sufficient experience, you will become really skilled, rather than just skilled.
Full stack developers == cheap employer ie hire one person who can do everything (so the non-coder thinks) rather than hiring a bunch of people. Not only is a bunch far more productive, specialising in areas, I would separate code writers from code debuggers. So you have creative writers crafting code that mostly works and then pass it to the debugging team, who write proper notes into the code, adjust variables to set company standards, polish and tweak the code and of course debug the code, so that you code creators are free to create new code.
This just like book publishers do not get the writers to edit books, they have staff to do that, leaving the writer to create new works. Good writers very rarely make good editors and good editors vary rarely make good writers, different mind set. You would of course have the writer and editor not to far from each other so the writer can explain bits of code that is unclear but most your code creator should be creating new code, keeps them in the zone. Editor of course fuss on detail, that is their zone, turning ugly code into pretty code and pretty code is far easier to maintain and adjust.
Simply probability outcomes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... You alter one of those pegs and the outcome alters. Cell division is not like making a cheese sandwich, that outcome counting millions of moleculeshttps://michaelgr.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/how-many-atoms-to-encode-the-human-genome/ in the correct sequence, must replicate in the correct sequence, otherwise bad things might happen, dependent upon which part of the sequence was in error.
So damage could be routine but the bit of DNA damage is the bit that defines the shape of you nose, buried in DNA in bit of skin in your big toe and you toe does not care what the DNA instructions are for your nose. The more damage, the more pegs altered, the more likely a specific range of DNA damage is going to occur, the ones which prevent bad cell death (dysfunctional cells should self destruct) and allow unhindered cell replication (instead of just replacing a dying cell breeding out of control, sort of like those crazy religious sects, hmm, is that why they call them a cancer on human society) and of course not be rejected by the immune system (too much DNA damage and the cell no longer recognised).
In fact every single rat could have suffered genetic damage just that the cells died, the cells did not reproduce, the cells were eaten by the immune system, the damage did not impact the functionality of that cell (watch out though more errors can accumulate). The older the more likely as basically you keep rolling dice and eventually you get bad numbers. Alter the dice, induce a bias for negative outcomes and you will likely get negative outcomes sooner. Yep, cell replication is the trigger for cancer and lots of stuff can alter that probability outcome, the more antagonists to successful cell replication, the sooner you get a negative outcome.
Suck it up baby, life itself is a dice roll or at least a random variability outcome during cell reproduction, sometimes shit happens. You strive to improve those odds, rather than making them worse.
Cough, cough, many different actresses seem to be generalisations of many different successful actresses who were in turn generalisation of other successful actresses and on it goes. Keep in mind pretty, is not special other than being really average looking, proven by science, you average out images of people and they take on what is accepted as an attractive appearance. So they will tend to all look alike and as the are managed by the same people behave publicly alike and as the same narcissistic ego and genes are prevalent when the mask is off, behave them same.
No doubt, you could grab a dozen of them and they all would believe that it was their 'star' (size of ego) qualities that were stolen, pay us now, worship us now, we are fantastic (royal wee not by accident and that wasn't by accident either).
C'mon get with the spirit, I know exactly what to call it, the 'Novichok Device' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...;D. Relevant, timely and probably accurate, you just know what they will be doing with it, especially the Poms, as in prisoner of his or her (don't want to offend alphabet community, heh, heh and silent 'H' of course) majesty.
Meanwhile the rest of the world will be achieve that 50 even 75 mpg by simply, generating that energy far more efficiently in a power station and using electric vehicles. Choke on those toxic exhaust fumes in you crumbling cities with D grade infrastructure, high unemployment, gun crime out of control, trigger happy law enforcers and with a military industrial complex more expensive than the rest of the world combined (you just know the US is heading there), hope it makes you feel all warm and cosy a night. From the rest of the world's perspective when this stuff leaks out, it just makes the entire US government look like it is just chock full shite and managed by greed driven stupidity.
Those fuckers know the laws will be undone but hey, who gives a fuck, for two more years they increase profits and fuck everyone else. It really is just that shallow, this quarters profits and nothing more, privatise the profits and socialise the losses. They know those laws will be rewritten, they know they are dangerous and harmful, they know, they don't care, more money now. They know the punishment for lying is non existent, they know the punishment for purposeful mismanagement of government services is non existent, they know they are harming their own companies in the long run but bigger bonuses now. The diplomatic gap between the US and the rest of the world is growing at quite the pace, keep lying to yourselves like that and why would the rest of the world believe anything you tell them.
Beliefs are empty shields against reality that the ill informed hide behind. You should never use God as a catch all, your God is not other people's God or Gods, my God is the totality of existence (make of that what you will), not some backward goat herder wish machine, that supports the lie of monarchy. Does the government of china understand the benefits of "ethics, morality, freedom, human rights, self-expression", probably does but it is also aware of it's population of 1.5 billion people and also aware that most of them are 'believers' and not 'understanders' and believers can believe any thing, absolutely anything, it is their genetic nature (I hate to break it to you but belief is a primitive instinct, understanding is the more evolved genetic trait). Controlling that upon a basis of understanding especially when dealing with say a billion of them, is really quite difficult. India faces similar difficulties with it's large population and similar belief traits.
The Government of China is bound to strive to nip all problems in the bud, because with that size population a small problem, one that only affects 0.1% of the population is 1.5 million people to deal with. Paranoid and controlling is to be expected. Yet police officers in China are more well trained than Law Enforcers in the US, I suppose because they have to be, in the US shoot a woman in her pyjamas on the street 2 or 3 times (what the fuck does that even mean and clearly those law enforcers did not believe in ethics, morality, freedom, human rights, self-expression), that's fine because they were afraid, in China those cops would likely have been beaten to death by an angry mob.
Are you kidding, your joking, you absolutely must, perhaps you don't recognise your own satire. Free journalism, that must be the kind where the journalism is not paid for by advertising dollars, that control that journalism. Even the most honest journalism is driven by charity and the need to serve those willing to fund that charity because of the protections it provides by trying to tell the truth.
US corporate journalism free, who is kidding who, it is bought and paid for corporate propaganda and completely owned by various vested interests, every story controlled, every story shaped, many stories buried and with factual proof of that even crimes, lies truth the only difference can they sue.
Upon a national basis is it probably unwise to trust any foreign corporation with your communications systems, they are an integral part of democracy and a modern functioning society. All countries should take exactly the same view, the Government of China, should absolutely not trust any tech equipment coming out of the US, it is simply the way it is. BY that same token even allies should not trust each other, the Australian government should most definitely not trust the US government, especially as they are likely aware of the many lies the US has told including to the Australian government, so no the US should not be given the keys to Australia's communication infrastructure, the idea would be insane.
At an individual level sure Huawei, why not. You certainly would not want it to dominate the market and minor percentage of the market who cares. There is the realistic expectation by the electorate that where possible the government source anything it needs locally first, regardless of additional cost, especially in the tech sector. Nobody can be trusted in this sector as proven by the various exposure of countries and corporations. In the US example it should be law, that all government employees at all levels use only US manufactured computer equipment at work and that includes phones. It will cost more but it is the sensible security measure to take plus drive employment and better manage the tech corporate tax cheats.
I don't understand why the US government is mealy mouthing their way around this. Probably lip service to global trade and of course lulling other countries into accepting US hardware and software tainted by security letters, so that the US can pull their plug any time the US wants to. Just stick to the security reality, no different the EU or China or and especially the US, any country should seek to fully secure it's own communications infrastructure, in the digital age, you kill that communications and you kill that country.
Sheep, this is about the law. Do you know it is against the law in most countries in the world to aid and abet terrorism, do you know that memo is basically an admission of guilt before the fact. Those facts can now be gathered by a deep level NSA/FBI raid on Facebook to determine based upon that prima facie evidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... whether or not Facebook as an entirety, any employee, become aware of terrorist plot or on going terrorist activity, as a required by law and failed to report it, as required by law because it would hurt the company bottom line and hurt their bonus.
The law is the law, a top executive at facebook categorically stated they would ignore terrorist activity if it served greater use of Facebook and of course the bottom line. Especially when you take into account increased Facebook activity, more chances to force more ads, POST A TERRORIST ATTACK. Terrorism is profitable for Facebook, simple reality and that memo clearly reflects that. TERRORISM SERVES FACEBOOKS BOTTOM LINE. People are desperate for information and where do Facebook users go, why of course straight to Facebooks ads.
Use Facebook and you serve corporate terrorism, because acts of terrorism drives a shit bucket ton of views and that scum bag clearly knows it. So why would you continue to use Facebook, because I'm alright jack https://www.collinsdictionary...., it serves my purpose, bugger everyone else haw haw. My response, find another way.
That's interesting, I could this address already has a connection without any details, I of course did not commit a computer crime by falsely claiming any of the options, "Yes, this is my account. I want to update my plan.", "No, I am moving here as an existing customer." and "No, I am moving here as a new customer.", doing that would be fraudulent access to a computer network, ummm, your naughty.

Slashdot not longer swamps the internet, it just programs it, entirely different thing, all done via the bio processing units.

Let's cut to the chase, they are probably eyeing the Australian immigration system https://www.australia.gov.au/i..., like it and want to, hmmmm, crossgrade https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki... to it (not going to make an up or down, distinction to that, no way, now how, not that I could give a fuck about the corporate funded SJWs doing their idiotic divide and weaken bullshit, the fake left, not the far left, the make the rest of the left look bad, fake left, fuck em, but it should be a democratic decision made by the majority of citizens). Of course the US will tweak it their way (making it less functional), rather than just copy some other countries system.
Now the presents a new question, should it be free or should there be a resource pool providing rewards for that kind of voluntary work.

Not even close. Under law, a professional is a professional and that ties to responsibility for actions. That design was professionally criminally negligent and should be treated as such, with the penalty to reflect the harm causes and that means possible custodial sentence along with a massive fine. Let's not get freaky on the custodial sentence though, probably sufficient to let them 'cool their jets' with no more than a 90 day sentence if no one died but at least 30 days, sort of put the wind up them, focus their attention, remind them there are real penalties for being a crap professional, being in a role you should not be in. If anyone dies though, manslaughter charges.
Find those individually responsible fine them, let them feel the weight of a custodial sentence, 30 days and fine the company much more. Custodial sentences should be the norm for criminal negligence as a professional, start licensing coders because of the harm they can cause. Differing grades, low grade licences for low risk work, high grade licences for high risk work. If you do not force them to do a good job, they will continue to do a shitty job, with a meh, someone else's problem for the shitty work the coder has done.
You are only consider stable cell state, how about cell division state, where the cell is dividing at a molecular level, you are adding energy to that and it is happening all of the time, hence probability outcomes catch up to you. Disrupt that molecular cell division and replication and you are rolling the die, just suck it up, happen at any time from any damage, some acts produce more risk than others, the fewer risks you take the better your probability outcomes of successful molecular cell division and replication and one bad cell can kill you, and you have a whole lot of cells to roll the die or is that roll to die on http://www.abc.net.au/science/.... Sure hard radiation can melt you, like duhh, but this is all about probability outcomes, probably specifically during cell division and replication (this is a continual process, most likely the greatest risk where cells divide and replicate the most often and reduced risk where cells last longer, you are rolling the die more often).
For the investors not for the users. Yeah the cloud, should be more accurately called the digital panopticon, spy on everyone all of the time. More powerful computers than ever, less need for the cloud, yet they push the cloud, to spy on everyone. Companies had better wake up to the fact they are giving away their financial standing, the proprietary secrets and beneficial business practices and leaving themselves 100% hostage to their digital panopticon supplier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (you should read that article and see it as an accurate description of the cloud). You use the cloud, they are no longer your supplier, one of many, they own your information, they own your company and they own you, they can kill you company at the press of a button, they can sell you details to competitors, they can recruit your staff for other companies (not only will they datamine your company, they will datamine your staff including after hours and data mine your customers, the whole idea is nuts. The benefits are empty marketing and the risks are out of your control and M$ is most definitely not a trustworthy supplier, not in the least.
There market share is shrinking rapidly, that being market share of computers as a whole. Losing in phones, servers, laptops, tablets, smart TVs(the likely future biggest high end market, screen size does count) and remaining stable in a shrinking desktop market and the only reason they are not losing in that market is because of no broad app base for Linux Desktops and Apple is only fudging around the edges of the desktop, not really targeting that market, Steam is the dark horse but they are a bit slow, like not having a FOSS section for non gaming applications on their web site.
M$ it's branding is shite, people tend to hate it, so they are extremely vulnerable. Once they get hit by any market share momentum, they will go down pretty fast. The cloud is actually more risky, you can expect porting laws to become reality, they must allow you to port your data to other providers upon request, you know it will become law. Extremely risky move, the quite achiever is actually the better strategy but dicks will be dicks.
But, but, but, it's (not knowing how the individual wishes to gender Identify, me I prefer attack helicopter although I am considering wedge tail eagle, bungil for short https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., so who am I to guess about other people's gender) a lawyer not a coder, what has the FOSS world come to, the horror. Good to see there is much more to FOSS than just cantankerous coders ;D.
I like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-.... I am some what fair and just (some might say a fair bastard and just a cunt but that's another story, service in the military the things they teach), I let some run and block others. Scripts on bad sites get blocked, scripts advertising bad products get blocked, over the top ads or ads in front of content get blocked, the rest run, even pop ups well more accurately open up in a new tab are allowed.
Obviously you have not idea how good structural engineering design works. Failure should never result in collapse but in excess deflection and cracks, at design load, at that time you should stop using the structure and then analyse the failure for possible repair, but generally due to the alteration of the materials especially steel, when it deforms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... it gets stronger due to altered crystalline structure but becomes more brittle and is likely to fail completely. So they saw cracks in the bridge and did nothing, that is criminal negligence and those responsible should be prosecuted for it. The bridge worked somewhat close to design, it failed partially, the failure was visible in the form of cracks, at that time action should have been taken, not longer use the bridge, or if bridge failure was with light load use, immediately tear down the bridge. The engineers were partially in fault, poor design leading to failure, those who own and control the bridge, cracks become visible and they took no action, were criminally negligent (those cracks are actually a design element, the first signs of failure and should be cause for immediate serious investigation).
Cracks in those kinds of structural members spanning a gap, are cause for immediate action, the owners are screwed, the engineers are in a bun fight with the builders, materials suppliers, as they go through they structure to analyse every possible element in the point of failure but they were at most fifty percent but all the way down to ten percent or even nothing. Failure to take actions drops it right onto the owners and operators of the bridge, based upon them becoming aware of the cracks well before it's actually collapse, the second the cracks become visible action should have been taken. America 'D' grade infrastructure (that's second world grade, not first world grade be clear on that) due to insane greed but hey you got the F35 Flying Pig that Israel pretends to fly over Iran at the US government's request in vain attempt to shore up F35 Flying Pig sales, ohhh, so lame ;DDD.
We are all mud monkeys - Earth Primates, well by far the majority of us, I will make no claim for or against visiting anthropologists or how far replication of Earth's internet has spread ;).
The ads mainly affect the people buying the ads, they are scammed. Ads on the internet, sell me stuff, like WTF? I am on the internet, the ads sell me nothing, I have access to the internet, anything I want to buy I look up, check, evaluate options, and then decide whether to meh, buy nothing or buy a particular something, that often decide by the closest purchase opportunity. So advertisings sells me nothing, that is just the way it is.
Look straight up, the numbers mean it is all bullshit. You know gave thousands of advertisers targeting you with different products, each compete for seconds of you time, during the day you will see thousands of ads but for different products and the total composite of ads dilutes any impact, you can not possible remember one ad amongst the thousands products et al offered. Old day you would see tens of products advertised hundred of times, now its thousand of products advertised once.
The numbers they produce, yeah, bullshit baffles brains, https://www.urbandictionary.co.... Those advertising companies flash off numbers the advertisers can not check. Look according to Google advertisers had no problem cutting off youtube obviously becomes it did not have that much impact.
The only ads that really work are banners tied to content, don't get carried away with the banners, you sort of want them to infiltrate the subconscious as the reader focuses on content, all very subtle and you just want your ad as the banner for that article for the full day or even week. Adwords is just a scam targeted at advertisers, as are the first handful of advertiser links in the search results. I noticed Google cheated on those, if you were looking for a company the search would produce them as number 1 in the ad block, you click they pay and below the page in the results, so you could not see it. I noticed the change it used to be 1st in the ad block 1st in the results below but you would ignore the ad block as you trained yourself to do and click the result in the search not in the ad. So they tweaked it to hide that company down the results so you would only see the ad link and not results and click that link so google could charge the company for a search and pretend it was an advertisement and claim 'SUCCESS' of advertisement, 'er' no the advertiser just got scammed. When I noticed it I checked, actively searching for specific companies and again and again, number 1 in the advertisement and below the fold so you could not see it in the search results, page down and there it would be, scammy fuckers.
Googles et al number one advertising target is advertisers not us and the data mine them and know them and know how to treat them and what they want to see and what will fool them. Google datamines everyone, including the staff of competitors, including advertising company staff, including management of every single corporation they can. They are also likely playing the insider trading game with that datamining but shhhhhhhhh, Alphabet does that not google.
I defy anyone to believe Google can not inside trade any corporations based upon data mining all it's staff and management, most companies should dump google in favour of https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck.... Probably the SEC should consider investigating data mining companies to check to see whether they are datamining companies staff in order to profit by insider trading, that datamining makes them an insider, getting information before anyone else does.
Smart does not defeat experience, ever, smart just means you learn fast, not that you automagically gain knowledge. Smart means you develop well based upon the experience you gain and that given sufficient experience, you will become really skilled, rather than just skilled.
Full stack developers == cheap employer ie hire one person who can do everything (so the non-coder thinks) rather than hiring a bunch of people. Not only is a bunch far more productive, specialising in areas, I would separate code writers from code debuggers. So you have creative writers crafting code that mostly works and then pass it to the debugging team, who write proper notes into the code, adjust variables to set company standards, polish and tweak the code and of course debug the code, so that you code creators are free to create new code.
This just like book publishers do not get the writers to edit books, they have staff to do that, leaving the writer to create new works. Good writers very rarely make good editors and good editors vary rarely make good writers, different mind set. You would of course have the writer and editor not to far from each other so the writer can explain bits of code that is unclear but most your code creator should be creating new code, keeps them in the zone. Editor of course fuss on detail, that is their zone, turning ugly code into pretty code and pretty code is far easier to maintain and adjust.
Simply probability outcomes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... You alter one of those pegs and the outcome alters. Cell division is not like making a cheese sandwich, that outcome counting millions of moleculeshttps://michaelgr.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/how-many-atoms-to-encode-the-human-genome/ in the correct sequence, must replicate in the correct sequence, otherwise bad things might happen, dependent upon which part of the sequence was in error.
So damage could be routine but the bit of DNA damage is the bit that defines the shape of you nose, buried in DNA in bit of skin in your big toe and you toe does not care what the DNA instructions are for your nose. The more damage, the more pegs altered, the more likely a specific range of DNA damage is going to occur, the ones which prevent bad cell death (dysfunctional cells should self destruct) and allow unhindered cell replication (instead of just replacing a dying cell breeding out of control, sort of like those crazy religious sects, hmm, is that why they call them a cancer on human society) and of course not be rejected by the immune system (too much DNA damage and the cell no longer recognised).
In fact every single rat could have suffered genetic damage just that the cells died, the cells did not reproduce, the cells were eaten by the immune system, the damage did not impact the functionality of that cell (watch out though more errors can accumulate). The older the more likely as basically you keep rolling dice and eventually you get bad numbers. Alter the dice, induce a bias for negative outcomes and you will likely get negative outcomes sooner. Yep, cell replication is the trigger for cancer and lots of stuff can alter that probability outcome, the more antagonists to successful cell replication, the sooner you get a negative outcome.
Suck it up baby, life itself is a dice roll or at least a random variability outcome during cell reproduction, sometimes shit happens. You strive to improve those odds, rather than making them worse.
Cough, cough, many different actresses seem to be generalisations of many different successful actresses who were in turn generalisation of other successful actresses and on it goes. Keep in mind pretty, is not special other than being really average looking, proven by science, you average out images of people and they take on what is accepted as an attractive appearance. So they will tend to all look alike and as the are managed by the same people behave publicly alike and as the same narcissistic ego and genes are prevalent when the mask is off, behave them same.
No doubt, you could grab a dozen of them and they all would believe that it was their 'star' (size of ego) qualities that were stolen, pay us now, worship us now, we are fantastic (royal wee not by accident and that wasn't by accident either).
C'mon get with the spirit, I know exactly what to call it, the 'Novichok Device' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ;D. Relevant, timely and probably accurate, you just know what they will be doing with it, especially the Poms, as in prisoner of his or her (don't want to offend alphabet community, heh, heh and silent 'H' of course) majesty.
Meanwhile the rest of the world will be achieve that 50 even 75 mpg by simply, generating that energy far more efficiently in a power station and using electric vehicles. Choke on those toxic exhaust fumes in you crumbling cities with D grade infrastructure, high unemployment, gun crime out of control, trigger happy law enforcers and with a military industrial complex more expensive than the rest of the world combined (you just know the US is heading there), hope it makes you feel all warm and cosy a night. From the rest of the world's perspective when this stuff leaks out, it just makes the entire US government look like it is just chock full shite and managed by greed driven stupidity.
Those fuckers know the laws will be undone but hey, who gives a fuck, for two more years they increase profits and fuck everyone else. It really is just that shallow, this quarters profits and nothing more, privatise the profits and socialise the losses. They know those laws will be rewritten, they know they are dangerous and harmful, they know, they don't care, more money now. They know the punishment for lying is non existent, they know the punishment for purposeful mismanagement of government services is non existent, they know they are harming their own companies in the long run but bigger bonuses now. The diplomatic gap between the US and the rest of the world is growing at quite the pace, keep lying to yourselves like that and why would the rest of the world believe anything you tell them.
Beliefs are empty shields against reality that the ill informed hide behind. You should never use God as a catch all, your God is not other people's God or Gods, my God is the totality of existence (make of that what you will), not some backward goat herder wish machine, that supports the lie of monarchy. Does the government of china understand the benefits of "ethics, morality, freedom, human rights, self-expression", probably does but it is also aware of it's population of 1.5 billion people and also aware that most of them are 'believers' and not 'understanders' and believers can believe any thing, absolutely anything, it is their genetic nature (I hate to break it to you but belief is a primitive instinct, understanding is the more evolved genetic trait). Controlling that upon a basis of understanding especially when dealing with say a billion of them, is really quite difficult. India faces similar difficulties with it's large population and similar belief traits.
The Government of China is bound to strive to nip all problems in the bud, because with that size population a small problem, one that only affects 0.1% of the population is 1.5 million people to deal with. Paranoid and controlling is to be expected. Yet police officers in China are more well trained than Law Enforcers in the US, I suppose because they have to be, in the US shoot a woman in her pyjamas on the street 2 or 3 times (what the fuck does that even mean and clearly those law enforcers did not believe in ethics, morality, freedom, human rights, self-expression), that's fine because they were afraid, in China those cops would likely have been beaten to death by an angry mob.
Are you kidding, your joking, you absolutely must, perhaps you don't recognise your own satire. Free journalism, that must be the kind where the journalism is not paid for by advertising dollars, that control that journalism. Even the most honest journalism is driven by charity and the need to serve those willing to fund that charity because of the protections it provides by trying to tell the truth.
US corporate journalism free, who is kidding who, it is bought and paid for corporate propaganda and completely owned by various vested interests, every story controlled, every story shaped, many stories buried and with factual proof of that even crimes, lies truth the only difference can they sue.
Upon a national basis is it probably unwise to trust any foreign corporation with your communications systems, they are an integral part of democracy and a modern functioning society. All countries should take exactly the same view, the Government of China, should absolutely not trust any tech equipment coming out of the US, it is simply the way it is. BY that same token even allies should not trust each other, the Australian government should most definitely not trust the US government, especially as they are likely aware of the many lies the US has told including to the Australian government, so no the US should not be given the keys to Australia's communication infrastructure, the idea would be insane.
At an individual level sure Huawei, why not. You certainly would not want it to dominate the market and minor percentage of the market who cares. There is the realistic expectation by the electorate that where possible the government source anything it needs locally first, regardless of additional cost, especially in the tech sector. Nobody can be trusted in this sector as proven by the various exposure of countries and corporations. In the US example it should be law, that all government employees at all levels use only US manufactured computer equipment at work and that includes phones. It will cost more but it is the sensible security measure to take plus drive employment and better manage the tech corporate tax cheats.
I don't understand why the US government is mealy mouthing their way around this. Probably lip service to global trade and of course lulling other countries into accepting US hardware and software tainted by security letters, so that the US can pull their plug any time the US wants to. Just stick to the security reality, no different the EU or China or and especially the US, any country should seek to fully secure it's own communications infrastructure, in the digital age, you kill that communications and you kill that country.
Sheep, this is about the law. Do you know it is against the law in most countries in the world to aid and abet terrorism, do you know that memo is basically an admission of guilt before the fact. Those facts can now be gathered by a deep level NSA/FBI raid on Facebook to determine based upon that prima facie evidence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... whether or not Facebook as an entirety, any employee, become aware of terrorist plot or on going terrorist activity, as a required by law and failed to report it, as required by law because it would hurt the company bottom line and hurt their bonus.
The law is the law, a top executive at facebook categorically stated they would ignore terrorist activity if it served greater use of Facebook and of course the bottom line. Especially when you take into account increased Facebook activity, more chances to force more ads, POST A TERRORIST ATTACK. Terrorism is profitable for Facebook, simple reality and that memo clearly reflects that. TERRORISM SERVES FACEBOOKS BOTTOM LINE. People are desperate for information and where do Facebook users go, why of course straight to Facebooks ads.
Use Facebook and you serve corporate terrorism, because acts of terrorism drives a shit bucket ton of views and that scum bag clearly knows it. So why would you continue to use Facebook, because I'm alright jack https://www.collinsdictionary...., it serves my purpose, bugger everyone else haw haw. My response, find another way.
That's interesting, I could this address already has a connection without any details, I of course did not commit a computer crime by falsely claiming any of the options, "Yes, this is my account. I want to update my plan.", "No, I am moving here as an existing customer." and "No, I am moving here as a new customer.", doing that would be fraudulent access to a computer network, ummm, your naughty.
