Actually, he's the CEO of Alphabet, which owns Google. His job, by definition is to 'be the face' of those companies.
So yes, for all practical purposes, when he visits the whitehouse, its google visiting the white house because as a human being there is absolutely no way he can be politically unbiased, ever. Its not how we work. Deal with it. That fact is why we design systems to ensure we can't bias our own decisions.
And no, they gave up certain rights when they became a CEO, legally. Rights are a human construct, not a force of nature. They work how we want them to work, not how YOU want them to work.
You can justify it all you want, but it just makes you look stupid.
You should be very concerned about this relationship because it is TRIVIAL for him to sway and influence billions of people without anyone noticing, INCLUDING HIMSELF. He's unlikely to be directly responsible for commanding it I admit, but even a simple fix for a Google bomb of clinton or trumps name is going to manipulate the way people feel about 'the leader of the free world'. And that fix could actually go either direction, you don't know until its too late.
So even if Eric Schmidt weren't known to be a weasel bastard greedy CEO that has effectively said we deserve no privacy at all and should have no expectation of it... except when its him or his assets and has effectively made Google evil... even if none of that were true and he were a perfect saint in everyones eyes...
YOU WOULD STILL BE A FUCKING MORON TO NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR AS CEO OF THE LARGEST INFORMATION CENTER IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE.
While I don't disagree with your point, I think your missing how security research works.
Next someone finds a viable way to read that analog input without rooting the phone, and then someone else discovers that while the analog input isn't physically connected to the vibrator ( no one uses motors anymore, just basic electromagnets) they can read enough of a ripple from it to decode audio...
Sounds silly but both the NSA and CIA have done far more with FAR less.
Not all research yields immediate and direct results.
Expecting it to is very short sided and shows a real lack of understanding the history of science.
He means their going to go out of business in an epic way while he floats down and a nice cushy bunch of money he made when conning idiots to invest money in a shitty form of radio that requires far more resources, provides no benefits, and to top it off, is proprietary as all hell.
Sorry, Pandora is a dumb idea. It was a dumb idea when we dicked around with it in the late 90s (internet radio), its a dumb idea now. The only people that rave about this crap are a small group of rabid fanboys who just don't realize that its not special and the people who stand to make money off of it.
I've never heard of a city, certainly never lived in a city without ordinances against cutting through neighborhoods. Those streets are not maintained in the same way as the main streets. You will literally destroy them WAY before their design life time simply by people cutting through like that. They do have right of access to use it for its intended purpose.
The white house is built by public funds but try to drive your car to the front door and see what happens. Seriously, please try it, I want to see you on the news.
Is the speed limit LESS than 35mph OR UNPOSTED? Then you are definitely NOT supposed to be cutting through on that street. This is a residential street ONLY.
Is the speed limit MORE than 35mph? Than you are definitely ALLOWED to use that street as a primary.
Is the speed limit 35mph? Than there are more details to consider and you really know if it is or isn't, but you're probably going to argue just because you're an obstinate bastard.
One of the selling points of Python is that readability counts,
Every tin I see someone say something stupid like this I can't help but think that you never in your life have written anything in any computer language, ever.
That's the only way some says something fucking retarded like Python code being readable. You would probably think ruby is as well, which is equally as stupid
And the really sad part is you still don't understand why Python is fucking retarded for not having them all over the place.
Your whining about 2 characters which make it infinitely more readable.
Congratulations, in 10 years, you'll have enough experience to realize how stupid Python is.
Python does all sorts of stupid shit, it likes to imply via white space changes rather than solid well defined delimiters.
The fact that white space controls program logic and loading it in the wrong editor or a bad copy and paste can result in code that executes without error even though it's doing something completely different than intended, that's what you need... More unpredictability and harder readability.
Let me give you a hint: Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Slavery, whatever you want, doesn't matter, its ALL A HUMAN SYSTEM. Governed by human emotions and human greed.
ALL OF THOSE SYSTEMS RESULT IN THE PEOPLE IN POWER CONTROLLING THE PEOPLE NOT IN POWER AND DRAWING RESOURCES AWAY FROM THEM.
ALL OF THEM ARE CORRUPT because THE PEOPLE RUNNING THEM ARE CORRUPT, BE NATURE.
The people who aren't corrupt and would do it properly... want absolutely nothing to do with the rat bastards who naturally gravitate towards controlling others, I'm sorry, 'leading' others.
When you start arguing about which 'system' is better, you've already lost because you've proven you don't understand how any of them actually work outside of a text book.
I know 1 person who uses Facebook at all. He doesn't use messenger, because no one else he knows does. If you think Facebook controls this market, you have to be all of 14 years old. I work at a technology company with the adults who would be most likely to use that crap... and NONE OF THEM DO.
20% of search traffic via voice? Bullshit. I work at a mobile phone company. I have never in my past 2 years at this organization, and no where other than when I'm driving down the road and want to send a long message to my wife, have I seen anyone use voice recognition for anything other than a test. Its shit. And you know why I know this isn't happening anywhere else? BECAUSE YOU NEVER HEAR SOMEONE ELSE USING VOICE ACTIVATED FEATURES ON THEIR DEVICES IN PUBLIC.
Anyone who thinks Alexa is awesome has just read the Amazon hype and doesn't actually own one.
No, there are millions of internets. One of them runs in my house, another at my office, and a 3rd at the data center we use... they are all connected to other internets via The Internet.
The AP is clueless and regularly makes changes that are just fucking stupid in order to have something to do, but that doesn't actually change that your usage of internet is specific to one collection of internets and ignores the actual proper usage of the word.
The Internet is different from my internets, or my intranets.
LGPL covers the code that implements the interface, and allows for less restricted use. It covers the same thing as GPL, just like every other license, its just a different one. Its no more or less different from GPL than BSD or MIT, for instance.
Symantec maintained full control of the private key and Blue Coat never had access to it.
Someone doesn't understand public key encryption at all.
Without the private key, the public key is of absolutely no value to Blue Coat.
They use the private key to sign other keys or to simply put themselves in a Man In The Middle scenario without being easily detectable (you'll get no warning visiting www.google.com even if they are spying on you thanks to Symantec)
The battery is directly under the passengers... That's an absolute-fucking-lutly horrible place for a fire to happen, you know how fire travels... Right? Where is the gasoline in an ICE car? Behind the cabin and away from the road surface where it can be damaged.
And the car actually carries FAR MORE energy in the passenger cabin during frontal impacts. In normal front engine ICE cars, the engine and all its mass is the first thing to stop, adding no stress to the cabin.
On the other hand, the tesla battery is directly attached, very strongly to the cabin... Effectively driving it forward with all the battery mass/energy. Are you still so silly to think that's better cause if so you need some basic physics lessons.
Hate to break it too you, but those two things are examples of tesla getting it wrong because... That's the only F'n place you can stick that much mass on the car other than under the trunk or hood.
I work for "a carrier", what Tim really means is that he doesn't want his entire company falling under laws that govern the telecom industry. You have a LEGAL RIGHT to privacy on any real carrier.
This is why Google isn't actually a carrier for Fi.... It's not cause they can't do it, it's because doing so would absolutely destroy their business model since they are required by law ( in the US at least ) to not snoop on ANY COMMUNICATIONS within ANY COMPANY UNDER THAT CORP UMBRELLA. Meaning that every company Alphabet owns suddenly becomes bound by the same laws as the carrier.
So Google buys services from a carrier and uses that to get around the issue. Google has.no legal obligations as a carrier and no protections either (common carrier only applies to real carriers)
No one wants those restrictions, certainly not a high profile lawsuit target like Apple
Because only an idiot would think that only your socks get things from the environment on them... no way anything else you were could have the same affect...
Terry, are you seriously behaving this way? This is incredible inaccurate/wrong for someone like you.
* Have to have someone "upgrade" their entire business IT infrastructure to.NET (hope it works!)
Seriously, you know better than to say something as silly as this. You can run VB6 and.NET side by side, its not all or nothing. Pretending it is... well thats boarding on a lie. Are you trying to blame some shitty dev who wrote a crappy monolithic app due to horrible coding practices on the language? Thats what it sounds like.
* Re-buy all the components they were using
Old VB components are OLE or ActiveX. These work perfectly fine with.NET in 32 bit. You can't use a 32 bit DLL in a 64bit.NET process, but just switching to.NET doesn't actually require upgrading components.
* For the components they were using that aren't available on.NET, pay someone to rewrite them from scratch
Or just keep using the old ones.
* Convert all their historical data
Why? Changing languages makes your data the wrong format? Whats the logic here?
* Replace all their old printers, since old printers never have drivers in new OS's
How does installing the.NET framework break your printers or drivers?
Retrain all their employees on the new stuff
... why? If you change the way the app works... sure, but then you aren't just porting to the new language are you?
* Hope there aren't any business-ending "quirks" in the new code
, , , Again... SERIOUSLY? You're playing that card? ALL DEVELOPMENT FALLS UNDER THIS CATEGORY. If you need to change the code, this issue exists, VB/.NET are irrelevant. When you commit to the FBSD svn repo... this applies, even in C, and you of all people damn well know it.
Though, admittedly, its actually the bank that creates money out of thin air.
Learn and understand fractional reserve banking, the crash of 2008, and why it happened, then you'll not make such ignorant statements.
Yes, banks literally create money out of thin air, and its one of the driving factors of inflation. Thanks Fractional Reserve banking and fiat currency! The rich get richer and the poor get poorer!
180 pounds covering a 13x13" area is 1 pound per inch.
That's not a lot of to hold on too, so when you hands apple 180 pounds to smaller areas, of you come.
Also, how it reacts to fast motion can be different than slow. Think about non-newtonion fluids. You can run across a pool for the proper ratio of water and corn starch... Or you can stop and sink in it.
If you're a linked in user, YOUR DATA IS UP FOR SALE
Its in the terms and conditions. They've been doing it since day one, its their business model, its well known.
Now you're concerned that someone else stole it and is selling it?
You put the data on a public website with the intention of showing it to others. There is no reason for you to be doing anything on linked in that you do not intend to be public.
How can they 'steal' data that you are intentionally begging people to take? Thats the point of linked in to its users, YOU WANT PEOPLE TO 'STEAL YOUR DATA' on linked in.
Do you guys get shocked when you write your name and phone number on the bathroom wall and then random people call you? Thats how stupid this story is.
YOU don't understand how statistics ACTUALLY work.
The stats on 5 drives... tell you how THOSE 5 DRIVES behaved.
The stats on 100,000 drives... tell you how THOSE 100k DRIVES behaved.
Neither gives you a single bit of information about the 100,001st drive. They both give a rough indication of drive reliability for short periods of time. They do not tell you shit about how long the drives will go long term. 100,000 drives for 1 year does not tell you how 1 drive will perform for 100,000 years. A billion hours doesn't tell you that either.
They give you a high confidence in some probabilities, but statistics do not convey useful information like you seem to think, and basing things on that misguided notion is dangerous.
The really scary part is that you got modded up a bunch because people think they understand statistics and they really have no clue:(
Build a drive that self destructs after 2 hours, run a billion of them for 1 hour... billion hours of time with no failures!!!!!! Most reliably drives ever made!!!!!! Does not fail!!!! Even with billions of hours of testing!!!!@$!@$!@$!@$

So ... You steal all your content instead.
Pot, here's a kettle, your both black as fucking midnight.
If you want to protest, DONT WATCH TV.
NOT WANTING TO WATCH ADS DOES NOT JUSTIFY BEING A THEIF AND TAKING WHEN YOU CLEARLY DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION, you immature selfish fucking asshole.
I don't watch ads either, I pay directly for my content via Netflix and iTunes. No ads, and not a thief.
Your just a pathetic thief using this bullshit as an excuse. Not liking a service doesn't justify stealing that service.
I momentarily forgot about the two front runner candidates when I was making that post :(
He wasn't denied, he just plain lost. Theres a difference.
Denied is a sensationalist headline trying to get clicks.
Lost is the reality of a batshit crazy nut job 'running' for president.
The real story here is that he got any votes at all.
The only question though ... is WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ON SLASHDOT?
Don't care when he shits either, just for reference.
