  1. How about *gasp* teaching them multiple things? I know, hard concept, but schools don't have to teach one thing at a time! I'm sorry you were bullied in school, but your comment is irrelevant.

  2. Right. Because they are teaching computer programming instead of reading. I didn't realize that they cut reading out of the curriculum and replaced it with programming. Don't be a dick.

    Computers cannot program themselves. People have been saying what you have for the last 50+ years (1960s). It hasn't happened, and won't happen. AI research has been a dead end for the last 40 years. We can barely even make simple programs that function without flaws. People expect too much progress. Chances are computers 20 years from now will look like the same computers we have today.

  4. How dare someone try to teach something useful to our children? Like collaboration on problem solving tasks? This is a terrible precedent! Don't they know that such education should be limited to the existing technical elite and jealously guarded so we can protect our jobs?

    So basically they came up with a scheme that can't be realistically cracked. The point is that the statement "if it can be played, it can be copied" isn't true any more. Similar story with the Apple TV's. The ATV3 was never cracked. I doubt the ATV4 will either.

    Yeah, I am sure the owners taxi companies respect their drivers and their rights. Give me a break.

    " I'd rather know I will spend 20â to get to the airport than leave it up to chance and maybe today I'm lucky and pay only 15 - or maybe 30, who knows?" Thats nice you want that. What I want is to have the choice between paying 15 or 30 for Uber, or 20 for your taxi. I like choices. I'm sorry you don't, but what you want isn't any more important than what I want. I don't even use Uber, but obviously there is a market for it because people use it regularly, even though it is not "what you want".

    The thing is: no one (less than 1%) uses the free e2e encryption software. People use iMessage, Gmail, etc. So you are hitting 99% of the population.

    This isn't true anymore. Try to copy a Xbox One or PS4 game. Won't work.

    Right, all you need to do is buy automated drones which can recharge themselves automatically, and carry a payload. And others that can distribute solar powered WiFi nodes. I could do it for about $20 million. Or I could hire a guy with sneakers and a pickup truck.

    I have an Apple TV too, but it isn't terribly useful, even at $99. And the new one is way overpriced.

  19. I can't believe you bothered to write that. We are talking about work where a BYOD policy applies, not stuff you use at home. Any BYOD policy includes IoT devices you bring to work. The D in BYOD means "device" and a "IoT" device is a device.

  20. Voice control of things in your apartment doesn't need Internet access to work. We have had voice control since the 1990s.

    What would the consumer do with such a beast? The average consumer isn't using tape backup. I use Amazon Glacier myself for backups. You could do all you said and then send the blurays somewhere offsite for backup, but it is cheaper and easier and safer to use something like Glacier. I pay $1 a month for it.

  22. Unless something changed in 2016, a thing like a Smartwatch or the Echo is still a "device" thus should be covered under the BYOD policy. The D means "Device".
