The key is the development of a single record for a voter that aggregates all that is known about them

it's clear I'm an anarchist, a pacifist, I don't believe in Democracy, I don't vote
It doesn't apply to you, then.
Google's advice is actually quite an improvement, since it also excludes tracking of children, criminals, non-Americans and every other person inelligable to vote in the US election Quite a lot better than the current situation.
The reality is probably that your personality flaws and the problems they cause are keeping them up at night.
Design problems are fun for everybody, regardless of age.
Dealing with easily avoidable problems caused by dipshits in decission-making positions ignoring or even overriding rational solutions is fun only for those people young enough to not yet have learned the reality of idiot bosses.
You won't believe how many times I've encountered non-issues labeled as "critical" by a manager (because not being able to showcase a feature nobody needs to a new prospective client is somehow "critical") which was promptly forgotten about by same manager a day later.
The only difference is that old engineers have learned to focus on getting stuff done instead of jumping through whatever latest bullshit hoops.
We had Commodore C64's when I was in grade school. You won't believe the things I have to go through in order to browse Slashdot on my C64, simply because I cannot switch to Windows.
To be fair; the laptops are a means to an end, not the learning goal in and off itself. It makes sense, especially for 8th graders and below, to not dive into the murky waters of having to hack convoluted configuration files to get a driver working.
There are plenty of people who can do everything that they do with a PC (i.e. watch YouTube, post on Facebook and play games) on a phone. Most people don't use their PC's for anything more than mass media consumption; a phone or tablet could be a complete replacement for all their needs.
I can sum up my opinion on Trump in all three debates in a single word; "Wrong". He's been a obnoxious, disgraceful, braggadocious and vacuous charlatan, but he sums himself up best every single time he says "Wrong". I sincerely hope whoever ends up in power takes the opportunity to get rid of this bi-partisan clusterfuck (or should that be "pairfuck") mislabeled "democracy".
Hyperlinked sites and media can be banned from Facebook just as well. Whether you like it or not, if you want to reach those "AOL" people, you have to go to the "AOL" places.
I'm talking about end-user validation. I don't know if google-accounts.com is a phishing domain or property of Google, just from looking at the URL. If Google owns the.google TLD, this becomes a lot easier.
If we're discussing a subgroup of Android users, then we should also look at the app-buying behaviour of that subgroup. For example; say the average age of all living human is about 35, that does not mean the average age of people in kindergarten is 35. Grandparent did not make such a distinction.
It may be people spend less money on Android apps because they want to spend less money on the total package. If that were true, it would follow that they would never buy an expensive iPhone in the first place, regardless of the ecosystem or apps.
If you're on call, regardless of your profession, you assume a responsibility. Don't burden others with the consequences of your choices. The fix for this problem is easy; don't go to a location where your phone will not work. If you can't do something that easy, you shouldn't have been trusted with it in the first place.

You mean "fake orgasms"?
If all you're going to do is Netflix and games, a console might be a better computer for you.
This.
"Show me a selfie of your vote for Dr. Evil or else!"
End of discussion.
Read again, Trump.
I'm quite nonplussed by all this.

It's all systemd anyway.

Please tell me they atleast still have the PrtScn/SysRq and Pause/Break buttons!
(Did I just use "Microsoft" and "Competence" in the same sentence? And not preceded with "in-"? Shiver....)
Shivering? Must be feeling a bit "Shilly" over there ;)

1. Something they can just take from you.
2. Something they have to torture you for.

Yes, I'm sure a breast cancer awareness video would reach just as big an audience if posted on some obscure website.
As you said yourself; lots of people equate Facebook with the internet. For all practical intents and purposes, that DOES make Facebook the internet.
Somewhat off-topic, but why is it that in Slashdot summaries, the link to the actual source is usually the very last link in the entire summary?
This.
Jerry Springer should moderate the final debate.
Mike Judge should direct the movie adaptation.

Marketing is 100% BS.
It actually makes sense for banks or other highly-phishable companies; if you control your own TLD, verifying valid domainnames becomes a lot easier.

The marketing bullshit is deafening on this one.
