They can't determine if a photo is unique unless they don't really delete the photo from their servers. (They probably keep a "fingerprint" of the photo, which would be the most valuable part for spying on people anyway.)
How difficult is it to slightly modify a picture of a face to make a new "fingerprint". This sounds less about security and more about personal invasion.
Probably as a way to increase their ability to automatically tag/identify you in other photos.
To take advantage, once any 10k content becomes available, all I have to do is upgrade my TV, DVR/Tivo, home theater receiver, Blu-ray player, etc... Can't wait! So happy I skipped the 4k revolution. Maybe I'll just wait until HDMI is upgraded to support Quantum Entanglement or something.
I'm surprised Blu is still around. Surely after the multiple spyware discoveries and all the other crap surrounding Blu, there isn't anyone left that doesn't know to avoid Blu.
To paraphrase something my Dad used to sing... "If I had a horse for every time Blu made me blue, I'd have a yard full of horse... shoes."
Comcast might not choke or slow service to any website, but it could speed access to destinations that pay for the priority service.
Unless they're running their network through the TARDIS, bandwidth is finite, so prioritizing some traffic de-prioritizes (or slows) other traffic. Can't really have it both ways at the same time.
There were no home computers, no Internet, no cell phones (of any kind), no CD/DVDs, no (home) videotape, no cable TV, only 4 television channels: ABC, CBS, NBC (on VHF) and PBS (on UHF) that you received via an antenna on a television set with actual (and only) knobs to change the channels.
And I'm just talking about the early 1970s - when I was 10.
(1) Programming was done on a typewriter (a what?) like device that punched holes into paper cards, one line per card, or a paper tape, that you fed into another machine, etc... (Note: I still have an actual, regular, typewriter at home.)
(2) The term "dial-up" meant you manually dialed the phone -- on a phone with an actual dial -- then put the receiver into a device when you heard the wobble tone. (Pro Tip: You could also dial the phone by quickly pressing/releasing the hook: 5 times for 5, pause, 3 times for 3, etc...)
(I did #1 and #2 in high school and #1 when I started college.)
In addition, (a) what Twitter, or another company, does with information on their own site doesn't really have anything to do with the transmission of that information across the net and (b) the right to free speech is with regard to the Government, not corporations.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai doesn't seem to know much about Federal Communications.
I wonder what he actually learned in Verizon lawyer school?
Because people apparently are too stupid to handle "windows" and can't handle seeing more than one app at once?
Well... Many people, especially the youngsters, are use to using smartphones and tablets, where you usually only see/use one app at a time. Maybe this is to emulate that, like the main window of some "productivity" suites where it lets you choose the more specific apps, like Microsoft Works did -- I think LibreOffice also has something like that (maybe others too) -- but also store your work as "projects".
Take Windows Explorer and the little-used Task View within Windows 10, mix in the newer "Pick up where you left off" and "Timeline" features, and wrap it all into a single-window experience.
Let's take a bunch of thing, including one no one uses, and put them all together, so you can work the way we think you should.
It's remembering all of the associated apps and documents that went with it:
Which is why we already have (sub) folders.
The idea is that the delayed Timeline feature will eventually group and associate all of these into a Set, so that when you open one, Windows will suggest the others, too.
There's nothing about that sentence that I like. Don't care about Timeline and have not *ever* wanted Windows to "suggest" things or liked it when it did. Didn't Microsoft learn anything from Clippy?
There's enough business logic programmed in C++ and Java to keep both languages around until my kids retire and they're not yet in the workforce. Rust and Go, yeah doubt there's a single company of any size running their business processes on either.
We're about to get a very, very pro corporate Supreme Court. This is yet another consequence of the 2017 election.
Or, more to the point, perhaps a more pro troll Court and America - patent and otherwise. Seems the President is already on board, judging from his Twitter feed.
I'll accept that logic as soon as they also acknowledge that "a government agency is not empowered to create real property," meaning all patents are invalid, and we can shut down the PATB due to it no longer being needed.
That is as likely to happen as posting a stop sign on the beach is likely to stop the tide coming in.
Bill O'Reilly: I'll tell you why it's [religion's] not a scam. In my opinion, all right? Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that. You can't explain why the tide goes in
David Silverman: Tide goes in, tide goes out?
O'Reilly: Yeah, see, the water — the tide comes in and it goes out, Mr. Silverman. It always comes in
Silverman: Maybe it's Thor up on Mount Olympus who's making the tides go in and out
Maybe, somewhere, there's a sign posted on a beach...
“I don’t believe in science,” said Hughes, whose main sponsor for the rocket is Research Flat Earth. “I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that’s not science, that’s just a formula. There’s no difference between science and science fiction.”

The only way you're getting 500 miles (~130kWH) in 5 minutes is using liquid cooled cables ...
I think Monster Cable sells them - gold plated. The electrical clarity is crystal clear.
Well, according to a recent Slashdot article, Elon was suspected to already know about this.
Um... He actually invented this, along with Bitcoin - duh - the next version of which will also use a Graphene coating. :-)

Essentially, Microsoft is reworking the Desktop Windows Manager within Windows 10 to enable app switching via tabs, versus more traditional windows.
Let this be a lesson.
He's not some old guy who misunderstands technology, and he's not dumb.
This is an act of malevolence.
Seems to be a theme within the current Administration.
Those are not the same things.

Not saying this is a good thing, just sayin'.
... when the fuck did that ever happen?
Once, when it showed me this: Download Firefox

So who do you want controlling your access to the free market? Verizon, Comcast or AT&T?
Wait, I get a choice?
No, not really. Just the illusion of choice.
Rust and Go, yeah doubt there's a single company of any size running their business processes on either.
Regarding Go. Ever heard about Google? They are running a lot of it...
Ya, but it's all still in beta. :-)

As I said before, "All bits, no coin."
I tried asking "How to use YouTube Autofill" ...

There's A Cluster of 750 Raspberry Pi's at Los Alamos National Lab
I saw a bunch of them at the grocery store before Thanksgiving, next to the apple ones.
The computer could store just 32 instructions or numbers using a single cathode ray tube.
About the same as our average current politician.
The machine first worked in June 1948, ...
