Depends on our definition of failure. I mean the data breach may have caused privacy for a few hundred thousand people. Google+ cost money from google themselves.
Really this is the least of issues by any law enforcement I know of. I'd at least consider drones considered lower stakes than human life, and it doesn't seem like we have much trouble with laws allowing law enforcement or government agents to shoot humans that "might pose a threat".
I could actually see trump doing something like
"TAKE SHELTER IMIDIATELY, a NUCLEAR BOMB has been launched, take shelter and pray for your survival.
because california's net neutrality bill is a NUCLEAR BOMB that threatens our country, stop this before it DOOMs us all!.
> Approximately one in three negative fans express misogynist, anti-progressive, anti-social justice or conservative views.
also weird, isn't that pretty much par for the course with anonymous and semi-anonymous communication. One in 3 unhappy people in any subject from any time will likely say something either outright racist/sexist, certainly likely to say something "anti-progressive, or anti-social justice", as those terms are pretty broad, subjective etc..
did I miss the part where amazon is lobbying or speaking in favor of bernie's law? He started out more or less trashing the law, and yeah I'll admit Bernie didn't exactly open with a "lets have a friendly conversation" dialogue when his rhetoric more or less started at a "Bozo's is the ritchest guy in the world, and half his employees are on food stamps"
I don't think it's even to keep the workforce. If they were losing workers they'd have done it a while ago. I think they are doing it to prevent laws from forcing them to do it, as if a law passes forcing them to do it, and the law turns out good for the economy and the common people, the laws might adjust for inflation. Meanwhile if they do it on their own they can say "see we didn't need a law, we did it on our own", then the law fails, and they can hope nobody draws attention when they don't re-adjust for inflation when 15/hr becomes starvation wage.
from past rulings, yeah probably. The laws more or less said that they cannot force information out of someone (IE they cannot force the person to tell them a passcode), but they can have them put their finger on a fingerprint lock. It kind of makes sense as clearly the laws already permit the police to take a fingerprint and a photograph of people.
In short if you don't want the authorities to sniff through your data. Don't use a security method that a 3rd party can do with your unconscious or dead body.
Odds are it will follow the course of the original web. You may pay for the server from providers that honestly charge a fair price for it. Or you can host it with one of the alternatives that will host your data for free, in exchange for being granted access to crawl that data and serve you ads based on it., Next up websites will start requesting access to that data in exchange for access to free services.
The reason this is doomed, is 70-90% of people will value the money in their wallet over privacy. and in capitalism in general the most succesful business will generally eat and destroy it's smaller competitors
So this all falls next to diaspora overtaking facebook in short.
Yeah I suppose it could be considered just like any other donation. I donate a priceless family heirloom to a museum, I can't ask for it back. But if my sister proves I stole it from her, the police can return the stolen item back to it's owner.
yeah I get the scale of them... but there's also gotta be more of a middle ground IMO. especially with the chapter release schedule system. First game I played was the walking dead. At the time no other chapters were released, so after the maybe hour and a half it took to finish the first chapter I decided I'd replay it doing very different choices... quickly learning almost nothing had noteworthy impact. The first "who do I save" choice, got overridden as I auto failed to save the second option and someone else saves the first one". Then later on when taking oposite sides on 2 peoples conflicts, always siding with one... I found no matter what the same guy tries to kill you, and the other saves you. The only difference is adding "even if you are an asshole" while he saves you if you were mean to him.
well neither are relevant to their product. telltale games selling points isn't anything remotely close to technical advancement. They are barely more than chose your own adventure books with a couple of "press this button really rapidly" or "press this button at the right time, reaction tests" thrown in for good measure. If their goal is to keep making products that their fans like, artists and writers are what they need to keep.
Not to mention, lets say all of your customers are in fact greedy suckers that will imidiately move on to the next big thing. You then still have to try and win some of the cheap suckers that haven't quite found your product worth buying yet. They are going to be harder to sway to buy say your $500 new phone, if your existing customers are willing to give em their last gen phone for $100. That working phone isn't just a hindrance for new customers, it's also a discourager for old customers.
well there is also the little issue that at least for americans, education prices are skyrocketing, and wages aren't keeping up with inflation. Sure some people may not want to work in school, but some are actually calculating that it will take many decades to actually break even assuming everything goes perfectly.
easy the FCC has decided to make there be more competition by redefining things as competition. See by re-labeling 3g-4g service as competition... now ISPs have to worry about the competition in there area, and speeds will improve and costs will lower. They just need to go further in labeling old school dialup as a broadband competitor and then we'll be all set.
Facebook never claimed nor boasted that their metrics or information on people is perfect. Your typical magazine has metrics of it's own and will outright tell you "use our magazine if you want to get your product in front of teenage girls" or whetever their magazines demographic is. So yeah in a way magazines still effectively tell advertisers that "X demographic is very likely to see it in this, and Y demographic is less likely".
Values more than the cost of paying them to do it, and that the amount of people able to do it are somewhat comparable to the amount of people willing to do it for that price. If there's 10 people that want to mow my lawn... only 1 of them are going to get that job, actually bad example there, eventually those roomba style lawn mowers will come down in price to save me the money of hiring someone to mow my lawn.
agreed. the point is robots are cheaper than giving humans a half way comfortable living. If we are comparing their cost against the minimum necessary to keep a human alive and working in slave like conditions it will be a while. Now if we are talking about hypothetically ever getting these jobs back in first world countries, as well as not losing more first world jobs to robots, the threat is a bit greater.
The bottom line, assuming software isn't the product of said company isn't software, there's generally a diminishing return on software development. Generally the developers are going to automate, and add a snappy interface to supercharge every other department, lessen their workload maximize time efficiency etc... In a few months a developer or small team of developers can easily create the productivity increases of 50x as many employees.
But after that initial push, he's just maintaining, adding small barely noticable improvements, cleaning up a few minor quirks and waiting for the company to pick up new tasks to improve.
It's a lot like plumbers, carpenters etc.... super valuable and important to have to get things rolling, but once things are built it's better to hire them on demand.
I almost agree with you, except with the need to include the word "foreign". What do the kremlin, The koche brothers, Jeff Bezos, Goldman Sachs have in common, answer they all have a boatload of money, and motivation to lobby the US government to do what they want, and none of these guys could give a damn what happens to 99% of american citizens so long as they benefit. Why isn't the nature of the methods the priority rather than the country of origin.
Internet businesses? It's everywhere that has ever had a rating system, tech support, sales associates, waiters/waitresses, if there's a ratings system... as far as management is concerned there's 2 scores. Perfect and failed, anyone who tries to do it on a fair and practical system (IE only vote perfect score on litteral once in a lifetime circumstances like one expects, is screwing over whoever helped them.
well you still have to LOOK at it, and have some moderate understanding of the workings... even slashdot knowing it has a supposedly tech savy target demographic, does something most browsers etc... fails to do, (it takes the time to point out where the site really is).
Say if I linked to
https://bankofamerica.actually...
your average human would see that as a bank of america site, with some refrence to actually criminals. you and I (and slashdot's post reader), clearly realizes that the primary page is actuallycriminals, with a subdomain named bankofamerica.
Actually criminals would have no problem getting themselves a free ssl certification in about 30 seconds. Which again creates the problem that someone see's the url in an e-mail, facebook or twitter post etc... The human instinct of reading the url tells them it's from their bank, security tells them it is a secure site, everything appears to be hunky doory to a non computer savy user.
I don't think they are implying people don't know how to type cnn.com into their browser to get to cnn's webpage, they have trouble understanding that when they get an e-mail linking to
http://www.cnn.notascam.com/st...
well if we are talking what normal people will use, it's about even. Win10 monitors the hell out of you, of course google does as well. linux is about the only privacy matters option.

AI isn't needed, just more writing animating and voice acting.
