    That isn't true. The various data collecting corporations (credit, tech, etc) DO care about your individual data as it can be used to determine your risk for a loan, what ads you receive, insurance rates, etc. They care very deeply. That is why Windows 10 is essentially free now.

    Ooops take it back. Doesn't require any permissions at all. I'm back to pathetic again.

    You can download the "Internal Broadcasts Monitor" app from the store and see the data yourself.

    Although now that I look at it more, it looks like you DO have to have wifi state access permissions. So it is debatable if this really is a bug or not.

    That is really pathetic implementation by Google. The idea is that your application should have to register for special permissions to access this information, but apparently the system broadcasts it to all listening applications on the device. The fact that this actually exists makes me wonder about the entire codebase. There should be single point in the code where intents are sent out and matched against access/permissions. It sounds like spaghetti.

  6. I have a theory that the government should buy everyone at Tesla and some PowerWalls. That should fix the climate change issue. Right?

    Yeah, good idea. That way they don't run a 0.000000000000001% change of getting murdered by one of the drivers.

    "Unregulated" taxi services do as much vetting of their drivers as regulated ones do: not much.

  9. This isn't good but fortunately I just bought a $60,000 Tesla so I am sure things are going to turn around real soon now for the environment.

    This is what innovation really looks like. No, it isn't Go playing machines, self driving cars, whatever. Real innovation.

  11. Perfect for spying on Moving To a Chromebook (avc.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    A Chromebook is perfect for allowing Google to spy on everything you do and sell your data to their corporate and government partners. The software is included with the machine and is updated regularly. You only need to pay around $900 to get this spyware. Definitely a bargain.

  12. "Today, the helicopter is flown by seasoned pilots"

    I've noticed this about the self-driving cars and other vehicles: they sure have a lot of drivers in them.

    So wait...are you going to build new smart roads and a new city, or reuse existing infrastructure? How confusing! Just let me know when I pack my bags to New New York.

    Wrong. These cars all have drivers in them. These are not self-driving cars.

    Oh, god, not AlphaGo. No one cares about game playing computers. We get it: computers are really good at games. It isn't a surprise.

  16. I obtained a partial list of names from the not-so-dark Web:

    I hope their wives don't find out.

    "Our benefit"? I must have missed those benefits. Can you clue me in? It sounds like it is somewhere in the desert and they are wandering around looking for it.

  19. Well I give you a 1/10 on intelligence, so I will take a 3/8. You should read what the Battle of Athens really was. It was a bunch of drunk hicks. Is that how you think problems should be solved? Christ.

    Auditor General? Is that like Dollar General? Does he have an AR-15 or a Ruger 10/22? If he don't got a gun, he don't got no freedoms.

  21. Exactly. And that is why in the US we have the best government, and other countries with stricter gun laws all have a police state where they regularly kick your door down at 3AM. We gots FREEDOMS!

  23. Dollar General is the name of our local militia leader. Great guy.

  24. Impossible. They were good guys with guns and we all know that they are the only ones that can stop bad guys with guns. That is why shootings only happen in gun-free zones.

  25. Exactly. You are going to kill all the GI's friends, parents, kids, grandparents, other family members. THAT will protect our Freedoms REAL good. We can use Walmart as our HQ.
