Unless it goes the same way many large projects in China go...in the dumpster. But it will probably cause ecological havoc before they admit they screwed up.

Dunno if I recall it properly, and it is a bit dated: Three businessmen are eating lunch. One starts talking to someone who doesn't appear to be there. He explains to his lunch partners that his company put a telephone in his teeth, it merely taps them in the right sequence to make a call and then an ear implant allows him to hear the other end. Another of the businessman shakes his head and then starts talking. Explains to his lunch partners that his company had a telephone installed in his head, he mere needs to nod and bob to dial and answer calls. The last businessman, feeling somewhat behind the technology curve, lets out a rip roaring fart. He then explains to his lunch partners that he must visit the men's room because a FAX has just come in.
Well, speaking for state funded, although associated might be a better adjective, universities and colleges, idiot legislators have been cutting their funding for years. They trot out the usual excuses but regardless, it results in higher tuition for their own seed corn. The legislators don't see it that way, if they can get through their next election, they are happy. They don't give a damn about anyone else but themselves.
There are two additional problems. Most users wouldn't know how to read the entire email header even were it visible. And checking up on all the dodgy emails? C'mon, who has time to do that?
Let capitalism fix the problem? Oh, you mean when the problem gets worse enough to kill off parts of the food chain, poor people living withing sea reach are floating, and desertification becomes beyond merely evident? Oh, yes, let's let capitalism fix the problem after it's consigned humanity and the world's critters to a fresh eruption from hell.
You mean you are free to find a company that hasn't been pressured by your former employer into not hiring you due to the "marketing" implications for hiring said prospective employee.
Lawyers. Let's look at our options: 1. pay people for their belongings, maybe a few mill max. 2. pay people if the authorities missed something and it goes boom, maybe a few 10's of mill. Gee, as a county executive, what would you chose...and do not forget if something else goes boom, your re-election will also go boom?
Yep, something's fishy here. Stop watching TV, it is bad for you.
Maybe you reject those regulations on drugs? Ma and Pa Kettle's Chicken Farm and Pill Mill would heartily endorse less regulations. And those nasty airline regulations? Sheesh, we could at least make sure they were cost effective. We should establish maximum number of stiffs due to crashes that a particular regulation would make harder for producing said stiffs. There's nothing a good accountant couldn't put a price on...say your grandmother. Those regulations on her retirement home are completely useless since she could come and live with you. The list is large but finite on regulations we could get rid of for a truly free and libertard economy. Ayn Rand isn't dead, she's merely out of her use-by-date...a bit...
Not really, the payoff for these technologies is mining your data, selling you an app is only a means to that end. And most regular proles have no idea what an injection attack is. It isn't clear they even think sending out their information is a bad thing, and you might have to define the term "information" to them.
The banks are watched. There was a reporter who investigated the Zetas and their connections in the U.S. Their biggest problem is laundering their money. If the banks were bought off, they wouldn't have that problem.
It turns out a good place for them to launder funds is the horse industry. Much of it is done though untraceable cash and personal communications. Rich idiots like to own horses that compete in races, but they do not want to let their fellow rich idiots know what horses they are going to use to enter races, so they buy and sell through intermediaries.
Too bad Sessions and his merry band of illegal alien children chasers don't want to go after the horse people, rich people can fight back. Illegal alien children can't, so naturally he goes after them. I rather miss him in his Senate hearings where he'd always salt any panel of "experts" with dingbats who believed what he does.
Yeah, if you are a poor peasant, then you are relieved of any moral obligation not to fuck up kids in other countries. In the U.S., we call them Evangelicals, not peasants.

Windows must be put out of our misery, with prejudice.
I thought their motto was: Either drink the coffee or eat the cup, they taste the same.

For fuck's sake, why would you want Trump to do anything? Ever noticed anything he touches gets slimed?
The Alt-Right Universe. It's a bit of an odd place...down is up, left is right, anyone with a degree is over-educated.
This is just sort of insightful commentary I come here to Slashdot to read. Are you a professional pundit?

Just wait a few days, the alt-right will find a way to claim the FBI blew the boy up and then decided to destroy the evidence to cover it up.
Nah, he blew himself up for Jesus.
Even better, know your chemistry well before playing with them.
Wait a minute, I thought Alexa was selling you the weather outside the window.
please, let's not bring Jimmy Carter into this.
Unless there are side-effects from its widespread use that are not apparent from small scale use. Like most of nature, it depend upon probabilities.
Also, it is probably not a wise idea to screw with the bottom of the food chain, especially when we live at the top.

Amazon, and they don't mind spying on your employees...and for a bit off the top, they'll let you do the spying for them.

Wow!! You want to start taking the little pink pills next time, the ones you are using aren't helping.
