Here at Microsoft, we have BioWare. Apparently it's not just the name of a game, it's all the name of biodegradable "plastic" utensils, which we're told to dispose of in the compost bin. Other places are using a corn-derived plastic substitute that is biodegradable.
According to AirBnb,com, "The Airbnb Host Guarantee provides protection for up to $1,000,000 to a host for damages to covered property in the rare event of guest damages above the security deposit or if no security deposit is in place."
That brings up another issue: if AirBnb in indemnifying renters whose property gets damaged, what's to stop them from renting to someone, coming in after they leave and trashing the place, and having AirBnb pick up the tab for their remodel? I'm pretty sure some people have tried it...
What's the best way to hide cameras so my guests can never find them? It's legal to record video, but recording audio puts you in violation of the wiretap laws... yeah, our laws are backwards.
Bought a Long Tractor because they were cheap and it was the same one the state of Virginia was using. When it inevitably broke down, he just plain couldn't get the parts to fix it, so it just sat out in the yard for several years, immovable. Not sure if he ever got rid of it.
Actually, no, When I was 12 to 18, I listened to rock and yes, danced to disco. I thought jazz and classical were really boring. Now that I'm older, guess what I listen to? Yep, jazz and classical, with occasionally a little classic rock for nostalgia. The great thing is my 18-year old daughter sometimes listens to 70s and 80s rock to, and puts it on for me when she has the aux cable in the car. (Ok, it's really bluetooth, not an aux cable, but you get the idea.)
The internet was _supposed_ to bring us disintermediation, also known as "eliminating the middle man". Record companies are vultures feeding on aspiring artists. While I think people should pay for what they listen to or watch, I'm bothered by 90% of that money going to someone like Simon Cowell.
It sort of depends on the type of game. 100ms roundtrip time makes drawing with a mouse unbearable, would probably be frustrating for trying to aim in first person shooters -- but would probably be par for the course for telepresence applications, which is what this new architecture is really good for. It completely decouples input and output; I'm pretty sure having a microphone in the controller means having rumble in the controller isn't an option. It won't work with a mouse, probably won't work with a touchscreen; we just need to wait for them to write applications that it's actually good for, and accept the fact that it's only for people with fiber internet connections.
Don't use default password on anything that's connected to the internet? If you can print a serial number on the label, you can print a password on the label too!
Yes, Apple face ID was designed to not be vulnerable to a simple attack using 2D picture of the face; that's the advantage of using 3D imaging. What I'm saying is, how much harder is it to make a 3D image of the face for an attack?
Just like the Republicans view of Democrats, the U.S. intelligence agencies are thinking, "We're wiretapping all the undersea cables, so obviously the Chinese will too if they get the chance!"

And yet they're happier than we are... funny about that! (Finland is the happiest country in the world.)

No, only tan suits are an impeachable offense...
Trump's proposed budget contains CUTS to NASA funding! I've never seen an administration that contradicted themselves so much!
This memo sounds like an elaborate April Fool's Day prank to me!
If only we didn't have that constitutional prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment...

While we at it, why don't we sue public transportation for making it easier for poor people to get to rich people's houses to burglarize them?
No, Trump was SMART: he picked better parents than you did!
"See Figure 1!"
In an effort to upgrade their image, they're renaming themselves "the dead baby lobby"?

Yes, Apple battery time has always been very disappointing to her...
Too small?!? That's not what my wife said!
If he was a black guy, he'd still be in jail!

If the equipment supports updating the firmware over the 'net, then there is no way to prove it will never be modified for spying, is there?
