Look, I will not claim to know the ins and outs of ePacket and the USPS.
All I know is I can go on AliExpress and buy something for anywhere from $0.49 and it will come with free shipping across the entire globe. Please explain to me how it is economical for someone to make a profit margin on a $0.49 good *and* ship it internationally.
This shipping is being subsidized by someone, because there is no way it is being done profitably.
What he is suggesting is that if there was a human behind the wheel, there would be no lawsuit here, as anyone who has seen the dashcam footage would know. This woman would have died with a human driving as well since she was extremely stupidly jaywalking across a four lane freeway under pitch black conditions.
No human could have reacted fast enough to not kill her, and no human would be found at fault, so there would be no settlement.
The only reason it is in the news, and being settled, is because it was a self-driving vehicle and Uber wants it over as soon as possible.
I always wonder at what point in these European rulings Facebook would just take their cards and go home and shut down all Belgian accounts.
Somehow, I don't think such a thing would go over that well for politicians in Belgium.
Things are going to reach that point for some of these tech companies sooner or later. If a country becomes unprofitable to do business in, then they'll just leave.
Well you obviously never fly on smaller regional carriers inside or outside the US.
If your plane is not certified for on board wifi, it's not certified for Bluetooth. Full stop. Many regional airlines will ask you to remove your Bluetooth headphones.
It has nothing to do with being "convinced". There are tons of situations where bluetooth headphones are simply a non-option - for one, on many airplanes worldwide, Bluetooth headphones are still banned and likely will be for years and years. Secondly, if you're on an 7 or 8 hour flight and want to listen to continuous music, good luck doing that on your bluetooth earbuds.
USB-C and Lightning earphones don't make this much easier because these situations usually cause you to want your phone to be plugged in, which means silly hubs/dongles if you want to change your phone and listen to music at once.
Furthermore, if you happen to decide to want to use the in-flight entertainment - GOOD LUCK if you don't have wired headphones with a 1/8 jack! So what now - looks like you need to bring more dongles!
I swear the people who cooked up these ideas have seemingly never flown on a plane in their lives.
Benefits are already "portable". There are plenty of options for self employed people to get insurance - there isn't a law against it. The problem is these plans are prohibitively expensive because they have not been negotiated by a group. If everyone could "port" their plans, then group negotiated rates would no longer work... It would result in higher prices for all...
What these people should be looking into is plans under their local Chambers of commerce. These groups usually have group negotiated plans SPECIFICALLY designed for small businesses and self employed.
Yeah! This strategy has sure worked out well for the past 100 years where the public has allowed all the utilities a free ride on our poles... What could POSSIBLY go wrong if we duplicate the process for wireless???
You're confused because of the shitty summary which was written by someone who obviously has no clue what Docker, Kubernetes, or containers even are.
- Docker is a set of utilities used to manage various Linux container subsystems. It is all 100% open source and free.
- Docker THE COMPANY also makes a container ORCHESTRATION platform, called Docker Swarm, and a container image hosting system, called Docker Hub. These are not open source, they sell Enterprise licenses of these for money.
- Google ALSO made a container orchestration platform. While it works with several types, most people use it for Docker containers. Kubernetes and is free and open source, and therefore puts the revenue stream for Docker Inc. at risk.
- Google DOES NOT make or contribute to any project that competes with Docker containers to my knowledge.
Measured by reading speed and comprehensive ability, I would be considered a very above average reader (or at least so I was told in school). How many books per year do I read? A big fat zero. As with most millennials and xennials, I consume my content in much more bite sized chunks... I read A SHITLOAD of content but it is not in the form of novels... Most of the stuff I read is of the form of 15-30 page articles in The Atlantic or The Economist. I simply don't have the patience to dedicate a dozen hours consuming a block of fiction.
If they want me to use this browser they need to allow other options for sign in, such as Google and/or Facebook and/or Twitter. There is no way I am making another account just for Firefox. I am in fact rapidly getting to the point where I refuse to make accounts with any new sites... Offer me an OpenID login or I walk.
I take great issue with the statement "But another faction of giant internet companies can and do exert that power and control.", specifically on the "and do" porition.
Please give ONE example of Google exerting control over what sites I can access and the performance they run at? And don't try to argue that their completely algorithmic search indexing is somehow restricting access.
For someone with resources of a Nation state or the FBI, it is totally possible to get into an encrypted Android or iPhone. All one has to do is desolder the SOC and brute force the password, which is likely a crappy one easily found using a rainbow table. Even a 16 char random password can be brute forced in a few days with modern cracking rigs.
This whole process was illustrated by a contractor the last time this was in the news.
It's possible because Samsug makes the components inside ALL phones, not just it's own. In fact it has so many components inside the iPhone X that Samsung is set to profit more off of that phone than off of it's own Galaxy S8.
Someone has to PHYSICALLY have your phone in their hands for 15 - 30 minutes to do anything at all with this.
There are no real security issues with this at all. The only "security" at play here is the security of the vendor having control over what you can do with your own devices after you pay for it.
I have no clue what "mypetjawa.mu.nu" is or was (and am not going to be foolish enough to open it) but based on the domain alone I do not fault Google from denying them access to AdWords.
People who believe this are deleuded and somewhat ignorant of how block chain technology works.
BTC transactions are VERY public and EASILY traceable by organizations like nation states. If BTC ever gained any amount of real traction, it would be regulated up the ying yang.

Have you seen the dashcam footage?
Please explain the liability here. No human on earth could have prevented this woman from being killed in this situation.
She had a death wish and/or was incredibly stupid.

I don't know of any music at all that has DRM anymore. Are you living under a rock???
Just use the web app... Problem solved.
I literally NEVER use the desktop version of office now. Using it in your browser is much more convenient and works on any modern browser.

Most people don't watch movies on Netflix anymore. They watch the original content. Everyone I know who has Netflix, does so for the original content.
How many CPU architectures did Intel release in the past 20 years WITHOUT security defects?
How many did you release?
Give me a break and come back when you run a 5000+ headcount development and engineering organization for two decades.

Ditto.

Due to the nature of false positives, this is pretty irrelevant.
It's also because the Atlantic is MUCH smaller than the Pacific and thus cables are MUCH shoter and cheaper.
Do you even know what a bootloader exploit is?
