It comes down to this: if you suck at your job, don't expect to be employed. Ergo, the forecasters who get it wrong much more than they get it right should be fired.
So what if the company gets a huge fine? It doesn't solve a damn thing. The people whose data was stolen don't get their security back nor do they get compensated in any way. IMHO, this is little more than an extortion racket being run by the government who inhales every dollar it can.
This illustrates quite clearly that one can't measure performance unless it's quantifiable. The blanket statement that women make less than men because of sexism isn't quantifiable. Performance on jobs like driving for Uber or producing physical products is easy to measure. How many widgets did you make? How many miles did you drive? Most jobs aren't like that. Two graphic artists can't be measured against each other regardless of the gender of the artist because they don't work on the same project and with the same team of marketing flakes. Some team members may be more demanding than others and some projects may be more complex than others. Ergo, you have to resort to more subjective means to evaluate performance.
Because of the rules of physical evidence. You can't convict the dirtbag without it. Encrypting the camera makes the discovery of the physical evidence impossible. But you continue to ignore the fact that technology can always be used for both good and evil. You can't prevent evil actions from being done by humans who are using technology. You can, however, make the pursuit of justice easier by not encrypting the camera. That said, society has decided that certain types of content are illegal and some are not. Justice itself can be used for evil if legal content is mis-characterized as something that should be considered by the public as illegal even though it's not.
Nah. Parking spaces will just be monetized like every damn thing related to air travel these days is. You pay for privilege. You'll be paying more for more convenient parking spaces.
Every human endeavor can be used for both good and evil. In this case, those who are arguing for protection against a government agency looking at the contents of the cameras are ignoring the fact that the cameras can be used for illegal purposes.
Given the high percentage of bullsh*t jobs and being able to bullsh*t other people practically a necessary job skill, AI would have to be programmed with the ability to bullsh*t humans in order to take their place. So far, AI hasn't passed that Turing test.
Ebay sucks anyway. The site has become a cesspool of scammers looking to buy something at a smokin' deal and then resell it for a few dollars more. Pro tip: never try to sell something that can be bought new.
As Scotty once said, "The more you overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain." I predict people will regularly hook lengths of chain to these things and the nearest tree.
1) Android pairing? Feh. Nobody who is going to buy this is going to care. 2) Recognize other people's voices? Seriously? The last thing you want to do is allow other people and their lousy musical taste to pick the music during a party. 3) Ever hear the expression "don't take your work home with you"? That means you leave your calendar at your office. It's called HOMEpod after all. 4) Oh well. Apple doesn't make money off of those other services so tough noogies. 5) Why the hell would you want to hook up another device with a goddamn wire? What do you think this is? A Bose Wave radio? 6) Jeez, you want everything, don't you? 7) Nobody wants to answer random questions. What are you? A five-yr old who constantly asks "why"? Crack a book, dammit.
On the one hand, being able to get a battery for a product that is no longer being manufactured e.g. 3DR Solo quadcopter would be a good thing. On the other hand, legislation like this means that nobody will be able to make any money on batteries except the manufacturer of the cells which could mean that nobody will make replacements for something like the 3DR Solo quadcopter because you can't make any money on them.
New California would quite easily be able to fund itself by selling water to Old California. Being able to cut off Old California when they get out of line would be really entertaining.
This is an engineering problem at it's core. Right now, you have cable and DSL. Both are physical infrastructures and both need to secure rights of way. Until you remove that physical limitation, you're not going to get a bunch of ISPs willing to pony up the cash to not just buy and install all the equipment but to pay fees for the rights of way. The solution is long range mesh wireless. Note that wifi exploded onto the market because it operated in the unlicensed (translation: unregulated or free of charge) frequency ranges.
It's not about intelligence. It's about being charismatic and the ability to blow smoke up people's asses to the point where they believe everything that comes out of the blower's mouth i.e. alpha males. In my experience, the alphas usually don't have the highest level of intelligence in a group but they will have several characteristics that less intelligent people gravitate towards e.g. height, deep and authoritative voice, the ability to take over and control a conversation, the appearance of being a badass, war stories that usually turn out to be false, and a generally a whole lot of bullsh*t.
Clearly, the potential for tax dollars getting pissed away is very high. Depending on which side of the political fence you're on, money gets pissed away on lousy emergency management software, poorly trained personnel, and passwords written on Post-It notes OR you get a wall. People should be happy that Apple is spending it instead of a government.
It's not just Apple. Pretty much any company that makes mass-produced products in China with razor thin margins is doing it this way. Blaming it all on Apple says more about the one throwing the stones than it does about the working conditions.

Because the feds don't own the internet or the rights-of-way or the hardware or the software.

Really? Then you have no problem with some dirtbag taking locker room photos of your daughter. Brilliant.

Ha! He doesn't know how to use the three seashells. I could see how that could be confusing.
It was an ad for BLM. Get it? I'll see myself out.

All those kids who got awards for participation should be prepared to have them rescinded when they don't toe the politically correct line.

Bingo.
It's amazing how often the crusade to go green ends up being an epic fail.

That's from the battery. See what I did there?
