I would consider a country who inscribed their ICBMs with "Israel should be wiped off the Earth" to be an immediate threat and any means to prevent them from warhead production, (especially passive actions) to not only make sense, but save life and resource.
Must have been a real windy day! No mention of air or ground speed. Additionally, the max airspeed permitted in class G airspace (pretty much the only space this type of accident would happen) is 250 knots. More FUD.
"Google also declined to comment, but did point TechCruch to Nest's transparency report......etc....."
Doesn't a FISA warrant require the holder of the data not to release any specific information regarding the warrant, or even the existence of one? Basically it's not a company failure to guard privacy issue, it's a legal requirement. A failure of legislation is where the blame should be placed.
Spoken like someone who doesn't have and IRA/401k. And lets face it, a video of him doing a porn star in the Oval could be released today and if The Street is happy, he's reelected. We don't give a fuck about appearance anymore (listen to him:-) we care about results. He'll keep the bear market rocking and will be reelected and voted for by the people who whine about him.
"That utpoic Socialism conversion isn't working out so great for them. But one more central-planning initiative is sure to fix it..."
It wasn't working for Chavez either, he just had better control by paying party members a stipend.The key word here is "work", which the majority of the Venezuelans don't. 1/3 of the of people earn their livings by thievery. They can't produce their own food and you have currency now that is so worthless that the largest domination bills aren't counted for trade, they're weighed. Hungry people do radical things, that place is a powder keg ready to explode.
But they still can fill their tanks for less than a pint of water costs. They've sold the sole to Russia so there will be stabilization in the future, but it's not going to be pretty for quite a while.
"Baseball is a perfect example where this is completely feasible."
Not a sports fan either but along the same lines, football ('merkin) is probably an example of a sport where it isn't. How could AI determine if a receiver had "control" of a reception before hitting the ground? Even with perfect video telemetry what time period determines "control"? Seems like human judgement will always be necessary for application of "fuzzy" rules.
"The decision represents a notable shift in product direction for Venmo."..and will mark a notable shift in my use of the service (the aren't a product). Any service that requires permissions on a mobile device with an "app" that's processes aren't completely transparent, and requires my granting access to resources that are unnecessary for services gets deleted and replaced by someone who wants and welcomes my business. All others can blow me.
Whereas it's not a 100% fix, a good 90% of the "homeless" are there because of heroin addiction. Legalize the drug, register addicts, dispense pharmaceutical grade product in a clinical environment, eliminate the black market, clean up the streets. There's probably two solutions, the Amsterdam model or Mao's model.
Clean up the vicious opiate addiction cycle and the majority of the homelessness goes away. What's left is easily manageable with current resources.
The cat's out of the bag. How are you going to stop swarms, PGP, TOR? Free and anonymous speech and transfer of data is necessary for advanced societies and probably can't be effectively denied by legislation. That's what the network was designed for.
"He's stirring up more trouble in the Middle East which damage this country for many many years to come."
You can look directly at Obama for the current political situation in Iran / Iraq. His denying Iraq's request for military aid to fight ISIS has helped Iran's influence over Iraq. That one was all Obama.
'And the non-centralized feature is also one of the biggest drawbacks.' Dependent upon your viewpoint. Decentralization relies upon verification and trust of all nodes. The hive mentality verifies the trust.
"What happens when someone accesses your wallet and steals your currency?" The same thing that happens when you loose fiat currency.
"Who can reverse the transactions and get your money back?" See above. Even if the transfer was adjudicated as fraudulent the probability of receiving compensation from the verified criminal is close to nil.
" Once you have ill intent, you need some kind of enforcement capable of setting things right. "
There will always be ill intent and actors attempting to gain without contribution. What is necessary is an algorithm design that requires a greater amount than just a majority (50.1%) of the nodes to set the "hive" decision, without latency.
"Something that can govern, if even just a little bit."
Secure and properly executed code has no grey areas. And like The Constitution, we've not found a perfect solution. We have found one of the better solutions in recorded history. Blockchain development will evolve the same. As far as gruberment is concerned, they just want to legislate and monopolize their piece of the pie, as do bankers, without providing work that others can do cheaper.
"but going to somewhere isolated, where people have lower expectations.."
I think it's more like go see the daily grind in the rest of the world. Live where there's no free lunch, regardless of your health or age. No emergency care unless you can pay, no police, no infrastructure. Go watch how hard people work just to figure out how to feed themselves. Then you'll realize how ridiculous (developed?) some things we believe are important really don't matter. It will provide a clearer picture of reality and how good we have it.
Speaking of Audi and cruise control, you do know that unsubstantiated claims of unintended acceleration (and 60 Minutes) killed the early 80's 5000's. It was rumored to be associated with cruise control but a defect was never detected.
I used to buy them for nothing and run the wheels off of them. I was nothing to run one past 200k.
"The TTB - Tesla True Believers - have become just as delusional as any religious cult."
I agree the market cap is ridiculous but that's how the market priced it. It's not about the cars, it's about producing energy storage product. It won't be too long before we'll see they own that market.
"Place your bets" -- do you want to bet against that guy, seriously?
BS.. Colombians have been too intelligent and with sufficient means to have the ability to outsource "the dirty" to the Mexicans since the early '90's.

How is this not an act of war? Then again, Israel is constantly engaged in acts of war against Iran.
Obviously. Their best defense is a proactive offense. Someone has to be responsible for common sense.

""These people are separate from me, so I will regard them poorly"."
Better known as tribalism. Seems it's included in our DNA.
Researching and designing a specific payload to decimate a targeted resource? Or doesn't an aggressive offense count? Smells like FUD to me.
