The local government should be building out the underlying infrastructure and ensuring good schools and good housing opportunities. Residents and businesses would both flock to the area to take advantage of that instead of feeding the giant corporations tax breaks at the expense of residents, aka potential workers. Far too often the corporations move into an area collect the tax benefits then leave the area to move on and harvest more handouts. Developing economic opportunities should benefit the tax payers directly, not the corporate tax dodgers.
I think you have to go one step further. It's not just indifference but ignorance of what is at stake or the value of their personal information. I regularly support a large number of 'elderly' folks who use Facebook and email in general and they have no concept of information privacy or the potential impact. Only after it is explained to them in a manner they can understand do they begin to grasp the significance and the value of their privacy and the impact of their personal information being gathered and used against them. Most of the seniors bless their hearts think of it as the mailing address or phone number being in the old school yellow pages.
What can I say, I like Hockey, I have season tickets and go to as many SJ Sharks games as I can. I also really enjoy Futbol (Soccer). I'd say you referring to other people as monkeys makes you a much larger part of the problem. Pathetic.
Sad because where I live for half the year, the cable service is also the only option for actual broadband. Spectrum really SUCKS. Currently I travel with my Dish service and use my internet access to watch my sports, which generally all I care about anyways.
Part of the year Arizona is an awesome place to be. In the winter it is 80F and sunny almost all the time. Why do you think thousands of snow birds come here during the cool times to enjoy the wonderful climate. During July of course it is hell on earth, but everything, and I do mean everything is air conditioned here.
I live in SW Arizona and the air show that goes on here regularly includes F35's at low altitude, Raptors doing test runs and touchdowns for half the year, Marine air copters, A10's all training and providing a private air show at the Marine Air base, and the Yuma Proving grounds. Nothing beats a cold brew, and vaporizer and a great air show pool side in the evening. Last showing ends promptly at 22:00. Come enjoy the show - Karn Evil (ELP)
Bacon oath ? I do so swear on this BLT that I am not of the Islamic faith. I believe there is a specific clause that allows Muslims to forswear the faith while in the pursuit of a fatwah or jihad.
No carpet in the house at all, tile and wood floors. I do have a Persian rug in the den. Oscar, our Roomba does well with the cat hair, but here in the desert the sand and dust get every where and vacuuming it does little but spread it around. I've found that only the steam mop picks up the fine dust and gets rid of that gritty feeling.
I dropped an entire jar of green olives on the kitchen floor the other day. We call our Roomba 'Oscar', needless to say Oscar was useless for that as well. The GF just had to have the robot but in general it is useless as a cleaning tool. The rooms have to be hand vacuumed on a regular basis, and steam cleaned a couple of times a month to keep the place clean and smelling fresh. Living in the desert, no matter what you do, sand and dust gets everywhere.

Spot on nice reference. It brought Methuselahs children by R.A. Heinlein to my mind as well but your is even more topical and pointed. Wish I had mod points for you....
Is this any worse than when Siri was asked what the 'best' smart phone was, and answered the Samsung Galaxy ? Did they really pay someone that much money or is this an 'estimate' of damage or a potential damage to the brand issue ? I used to love when Nickelodeon network used what was obviously an apple product but with a pear logo on screen to avoid advertising for Apple.
VR much like 3D has to be for a purpose other than just itself. When used in conjunction and to enhance a good story or function it will catch on. Up until now it has been just a one trick pony used for just a lark, in no way contributing to a story or function.
If they DO succeed, do you think I could get it to explain the world to me ? I've been here quite a while and I have not yet arrived at a suitable understanding myself.
They are not real engineers of any sort, and actually the source of many of the problems we see in software today. UI designers demand change for changes sake rather than any sort of reasonable cause. You can't consult an efficiency expert and NOT expect them to recommend change just to justify their own existence. Why can't the UI default be a simple clean design and allow customization by the user, or the user base in general. A library of skins and such applied by end users based on their preference, rather than some group that's very existence is mandated by them finding something, anything to change...
would have you believe. When it proved to be beyond big businesses ability to control the only thought that occurred to them was that they be destroyed. They can't have a means of monetary movement or compensation beyond their grasp and control. Crypto currency will be valuable for brief quick transfers and compensation, but probably never stable enough for big business to feel comfortable dumping funds into and wholesale raping, but it could always be a quick and dirty way to transfer/launder money with big brother getting involved.

In the summer I go back to the SF bay area in California and enjoy the wonderful climate there.

Jonestown in Nevada? The setting is different but the Kool-Aid is the same.
How about an external light system by which a car is marked as red, yellow or green based on occupancy ?
So this is probably not the best image to project to the "virtual agent" when attempting a border crossing.
