In all fairness, I would say Yahoo was already entering into a death spiral when Marissa came on board. I don't see how anyone thought the company could have been saved at that point and figured her real job was to make the company look good enough to get it sold.
She was probably doing as good as anyone else until the news of the email hacks came out.
The efforts of TV manufacturers are half-baked or an afterthought. I have yet to find a smart tv that works better than a dedicated device. Even something as cheap as a Fire/Roku stick is a better experience.
What strikes me is that Facebook thinks it's users are actually reading the articles. I don't have any evidence too support this but I suspect FB users don't read much past the headline and move one.
From my perspective it looks like a significant percentage FB users share links without bothering to read the linked page or considering it as a valid source. They simple share things based on emotion. I have seen this from politically "charged" people on both sides. So either my FB social network behavior is rare or a typical. I strongly suspect it is the later and FB knows it.
Yes because many businesses today do not care about doing what is right. They only care about minimizing costs and their exposure to risk... risk only matters if it incurs costs.
I have owned two Nexus7 tablets. I still have the second one and use it every day. It is getting a bit old but I haven't replaced it because they stopped making the 7 in favor of the larger 9 which is too expensive. The 7 was a great bloat-free device at a great price ($200 ish). I was hoping Google would reintroduce the 7 but I guess those hopes are lost. Time to start looking at some replacement candidates. Suggestions?
Rationalizing is not justification. People act so surprised about the corruption in the world. It seems that cheating is in the DNA of a lot of human beings.
IIRC it all started with Windows 7/Server 2008and some features that *required* IPV6. You didn't really have to be running IPv6 running on your network because MS was enabling tunneling and IPv6 by default so things would work automagically.
They should be explicitly banned from using anything other than the official email for official duties and only while using supplied equipment. Personal and business communications should be partitioned off from one another. This is how it *should* be but that's not how reality works.
Something doesn't add up. The owner claims he came back 5 minutes later to find his car had wrecked itself. Tesla's data says the car was summoned 3 seconds after the door closed. If that is the case then the customer should have witnessed the car's "accident". Can Tesla tell when the car actually moved, hand an impact, and then stopped moving? I think that either the owner is lying or Tesla has one heck of a bug.
I do think that even if the car owner improperly (or maliciously) used the summon feature, Tesla should change the procedure to cancel by default instead of accepting. However, I am sure people will still sue.
Donate/sell/ the stuff you know you are not going to use. Charities, schools, churches, etc..... put it on something like CraigsList in the free section and people will haul it away for you.:-)

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."
Thank you for the insightful reply. You make some good points.
Your comments "spectacularly brain-damaged suggestion" and "drug-fueled" are why I consider your post troll like. Have a great day.
Troll much? I disagree that they would be more misleading. I guess we should rename it "Not Autopilot"
Rename it to something like Copilot or Driver Assist. They can say what they want about how Autopilot should be used but the name suggests otherwise.
tldr; "We need to make more money"
Yes. I had the first one for a year and it was fine. Got the 2nd gen and sold the first get.

tldr; people are the problem, not the technology
fwiw; trains still have "drivers" and I think people are still at the cause of most train crashes
Exactly. Until people are held accountable for their actions this is going to continue to happen.

Even though I don't eat fast food anymore, I would hate using self-service kiosks simply for the hygene reason you mentioned.
Make an app and give people the option to place and pay for their order via phone/tablet on local WiFi.

I still check /. multiple times most days. Reddit is my only other daily site that comes a distant second to the culture here.
