the Tesla Model 3 is now the best selling plug-in vehicle in the world. "In fact, the Model 3 was approximately 55,000 sales above the #2 BAIC EC-Series, an extremely popular Chinese model,"
I believe the Chinese will come from behind and "win" this thing, if the trends in manufacturing are to be believed.
Needless to say, their product will definitely be cheaper. So I'll wait.
...Washington's fears is a perception that Huawei is linked to the Chinese government and that the use of the company's equipment risks the possibility of backdoors that could be used for espionage...
(...bold mine...)
...I do not think it's got any moral ground or otherwise, to dictate Europe's direction or priorities.
As we discuss this [important] issue, let's remember that the USA has been *cough* *caught* *cough* spying on allies through one of its 3 letter agencies. That's fact, which I hope will be taken as precedent.
What we are talking about here though, are mere possibilities.
Further, no one can guarantee a completely safe telecommunications regime anywhere; or is there?
..."If it is public money, it should be public code as well..."
No, dude...
"If it is public money, it should be public code as well only if it works and does work well..."
But I am almost embarrassed to say that in my little world, apart from the browser, open source desktop software sucks big-time. It just does not cut it.
One has to "fight" with a situation where you have the same library named differently, installed in different locations, installed with older versions of the same depending on distribution...The arrogance in the open source world simply makes matters worse. Who has the time for all this nonsense?
A mobile expert known as The App Analyst recently found Air Canada's iPhone app to be improperly masking the session replays when they were sent, exposing passport numbers and credit card data in each replay session. Just weeks earlier, Air Canada said its app had a data breach, exposing 20,000 profiles.
Government Executive: We must push the Russian involvement...guys...
A few hours later...
Main Stream Media: "The apps have links with the Kremlin and direct links with Putin...."
Open source alternatives suck big time - from the interface to speed to everything else one can imagine.
This statement is one of the most clueless statements that I have seen on/. that has ever been up-voted informative. It should have been labeled troll.
Your statement would be held in higher esteem only if you pointed out one area in which any [named] open source alternative excels. Because you have nothing, I guess that's why you don't mention any...
In addition to "cutting costs" why doesn't Google at least fix their deficient software?
One product I can think of is GBoard. Imagine, just adding a new word to its dictionary if so cumbersome. One may think the app is still a beta version. While using it, it underlines any word it doesn't know; long clicking this "unknown" word brings up a menu sans "Add to dictionary!"
"These comments do not accurately represent my position on the issue. As the government has consistently made clear, there has been no political involvement in this process."

He should have given us comments that do represent his position on the issue. Otherwise, with all due respect, I request that he sees some professional folks to be checked out.
While Bloomberg's story -- which has been challenged by numerous players -- may well be completely (or partly) wrong, the danger of China compromising hardware supply chains is very real, judging from classified intelligence documents, reports The Intercept.

The result of any compromising is the same as what the CIA/NSA have done to foreign entities, if I may add.
They are all minor releases that simply offer a few bug fixes and security updates, with no new features -- and there are no new features in any of the beta releases for these versions of the operating systems, either.
(...bold mine...)
How else can one interpret this, in light of the latest Apple performance?
While there's been a number of articles touting the benefits of technology in the classroom, the disadvantages are immense and not worth the investment That's why, pupils from the so called 3rd world thrive when they come over to "technologically advanced" classroom environments. They demonstrate an understanding of the academics better.
This leads me to one conclusion: Nothing beats the old fashioned [pen and paper] way of learning.
Microsoft cannot agree with me on this. Heck, they want to sell more and more gadgets. They want to make money, and lots of it. I will point those who support technology to debunk this piece
"With the Windows 10 Mobile OS end of support, we recommend that customers move to a supported Android or iOS device. Microsoft's mission statement to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, compels us to support our Mobile apps on those platforms and devices."
(bold mine)
And the only way to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more is to Open Source Windows 10.
The result would be to stick it to Google/Apple too, which would be "icing on the cake."
According to the report, more documents show "widespread confusion by children and their parents, who didn't understand Facebook continued to charge them as they played games."
Let me say it right away. I loathe Facebook, do not see [any] value in it and do not use it in any way.
But on the other hand, why should one blame FB for failing to understand it, or its business practices?
Who let these kids have access to the gadgets they used to access Facebook? Why blame FB for your failure to understand it? I just do not get it!
As a result, Google will now have a dedicated team with hardware experience working internally on its WearOS software platform and potentially on new smartwatch designs as well.
One product that quickly comes to mind is Nest. Google paid quite a sum for it, then killed it.
If we look closely at its [current] messaging regime, we can only conclude that Google's business with Fossil will not buck the trend.
...Apple might be planning to launch its long-awaited TV service in the first half of 2019...
From the way Apple has "messed up" traditional messaging on smart phones (read inter-operability), I will save myself the headache of having to deal with the same mess on television.

In most cases, voice-controlled assistants have hit a wall where they perform a specific set of tasks well and not much else. They may be crazy ambitious, but they aren't ready to take on real work.
(bold mine...)
When these things can't do much more than repetitive tasks, they are gimmicks designed to fleece "zealots" of their hard earned cash in my opinion.
Those that used to use some of these gadgets at my office threw them away long ago after realizing that they had no real utility. Unfortunately, that wasn't before they parted with serious hard earned cash.

That's not entirely right - macros do exist, though in another language.

In short, not worth a try for the majority of [ordinary] users.
That explains why despite being "free" they have no traction to be proud of.
Collect what? They would have to prove harm in a lawsuit.
Collect a reward in form of cold hard cash.
Apple can surely afford this with zero palpable hit to their bottom line. No need for a lawsuit.
I also think it'd be good publicity if they did pay up something, no?
"We thank the Thompson family for reporting the bug.
From all the billions [of dollars] in profit Apple makes, I wonder whether this family will collect. Anyone know?
That mere "thank you" message from Apple is anemic in my opinion.
This is one question I can't wrap my head around.
From Libya to Iraq to Afghanistan and the present Syria...the USA has its hand(s) in the "cookie jar."
Its European allies supported it; then they paid by having to deal with the refugee influx.
They're now creating mayhem in Venezuela; they may have to deal with refugees.
Folks, I quit WhatsApp for Telegram when all this was announced. I haven't looked back. Please join me.

I won't wonder if Chrome OS becomes a decent alternative to Windows one day.
But with Google's track record on execution, I doubt you'll see anything consequential on the desktop.
Look, they have screwed up so much in recent years, if Google's messaging regime on Android is anything to go by.
I would be proud to award Google a D- (D minus) for this. Never mind the so called "top talent" at Google.
As a result, Google will now have a dedicated team with hardware experience working internally on its WearOS software platform and potentially on new smartwatch designs as well.

The serious downside I see is that it is now owned by FB, which I don't use or want to use. But I like WA so much I don't want to drop it.
Your could explore Telegram , which has all the features you mention (with bigger metrics), and more.

They are trying everything to slow down Huawei. They will fail in my opinion as Huawei is a major 5G patent holder.

Sorry Apple, I will take a PASS on this.
