I keep saying that Amazon's long term strategy is to drive the 20th century brick-and-mortar stores out of business and then buy up their real estate at fire sale prices. Then they open Amazon stores.
This one was totally useless in defeating robocallers like so many other government regulations that are simply feel-good, do-something-NOW, vote-getters.
Would you call a person who walked for 30 minutes a day addicted to walking? Nope. Gym rats who spend hours in the gym every day are addicted. Not being able to forego a workout while on vacation is indicative of an addiction. This study doesn't look deep enough. Furthermore, they questions they should be asking is whether or not players of violent video games have altered their value of human life.
"careful planning and research" This SHOULD be a lesson to everyone insisting that the government "do something". Reactionary legislation is usually bad legislation that takes years to undo. The other lesson people should learn is that those who insist that the government "do something right away" are lying their ass off.
Are people outraged because of a leak or because of a design flaw or because they so detest the current POTUS and possibility that the campaign made use of the available data?
So many people have their heads firmly lodged up their ass that it sums up humanity quite nicely. That said, no image is better than a single misrepresentation.
This is so patently transparent. Regulate the tech so that only the wealthy and well-connected can play in the sandbox. It's not much different than the UAV world and the proposed air-traffic control system. You can't uninvent the tech so do everything you can to control it while making money off renting access.
Taken out of context, it's not that big but when you consider that Arizona is in drought conditions and that Type 1 Wild Fire teams have been brought in two months ahead of schedule, this is a much bigger deal. We got very lucky that there wasn't much wind and that it had snowed recently. If this happens this summer, we're going to have a big problem.
Would have been a bit cheaper. But seriously, I'm baffled by mergers and acquisitions. It seems like Amazon could have come up with their own device for a lot less money. Further, General Mills just bought out Blue Buffalo pet food for something like $8 billion. You mean to tell me that General Mills couldn't come up with their own "natural" pet food for less money? But the thing that really pisses me off is that in many cases, a company flat out steals somebody else's idea instead of buying them out. What's up with that?
If so much cobalt is going to be used by the electric vehicle industry, wouldn't they also want a direct source if they themselves were entering that industry?
I recently got curious about the concept of "Professional Engineer". Generally, it's aimed at civil engineers but it's being expanded to cover software. There are no sample tests and the list of topics covered is so vague that you couldn't practically study for it. But the concept also runs counter to an old engineering joke. The trustees of a university want to find out if the professors know their stuff so they come up with a question: what's 2+2? So they go to the math department and ask that question. The professors say "Oh, that's easy. It's 4." Then they go to the physics department and they respond, "Oh, it's 4.0000000 with an uncertainty of another decimal place." Then they go to the engineering department and they respond, "Just a minute. Let me get my handbook." Lastly, they go to the accounting department and they look around to see if anyone can hear them and whisper, "What do you want it to be?"

It's more like Walken as in Christopher Walken.

30 minutes is hardly enough to be called an addiction ergo at addiction levels, behavior changes.
Seriously, Ebay needs to improve their return policies. There are too many flippers on Ebay these days.

So developing your own brand costs more than $8 billion? Yeesh.
There are only so many plugs in which to put a wall wart.

What the hell are you supposed to pick up dog poop with? (not the straw)
Fun fact: You say, "Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog" Okay, that's fake news but it would be awesome.

I use OSX, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Android on a regular basis. Apple's user experience is far more polished than everyone else's.
