What kind of fearful hell do you live in where you're always thinking of the extreme eventuality?
Have you seen who "we" (meaning an actual minority of the population and not me) elected as President?:-)
Do you have a cell phone? Then the government can send you emergency alerts already and last I checked, almost everyone is obsessed with keeping their cell phone always on.
Ya and I've been woken up in the middle of the night by an Amber alert and a tornado alert (for a nearby town, but not mine) on my phone (the Amber alerts have since disabled on my phone), but those alerts cannot turn on my phone if it's actually off. The first time I got an alert (at 3am) I didn't know what the fuck was going on and can't imagine how disorienting one on the TV would be - especially in homes with multiple sets (I only have one). I understand your points, but am still not convinced I'll be a fan of this Government intrusion should it be implemented.
More worrisome is that the FCC says broadcasters will only have to simulcast the older version (2) for 3-5 years before cutting it off. Any TV's not version 3 capable won't receive those channels anymore - forcing people to purchase new TVs.
I’m a graduate student at M.I.T., where I study the neurological basis of mental health disorders. My peers and I work between 40 and 80 hours a week as classroom teachers and laboratory researchers, and in return, our universities provide us with a tuition waiver for school. For M.I.T. students, this waiver keeps us from having to pay a tuition bill of about $50,000 every year...
Representative Debbie Dingell of Michigan said the new technology “contemplates targeted advertisements that would be ‘relevant to you and what you actually might want to see.’
... there are *NO* unsolicited advertisements that I actually might want to see - I am not a target.
(Although it seems this representative does have the appropriate last name for her apparent level of intelligence.)
The new standard would also let broadcasters activate a TV set that is turned off to send emergency alerts.
One step to closer to the world of Max Headroom where TVs are required to be on all the time ("off" switches are banned) and the country is run by an oligarchy of television networks - enabled by their butt-boy FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
Representative Debbie Dingell of Michigan said the new technology “contemplates targeted advertisements that would be ‘relevant to you and what you actually might want to see.’
Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said the new technology would force consumers to buy new televisions. “The FCC calls this approach market driven. That’s right — because we will all be forced into the market for new television sets or devices.”
Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc last month called the new standard “the Holy Grail” for the advertiser because it tells them who is watching and where.
I'm too annoyed to even comment on these, but I'm not buying a new TV so I can be more easily spied on.

CAT5 ? To connect to your brand new 486DX 66Mhz PC ?
I have CAT5e [ which is what I meant by CAT5 - geesh (can one even easily buy just CAT5 anymore?) ] throughout my house and run my gigabit devices over it just fine Mr. Pedantic McSnobby.
How about providing a *wired* (capable) camera. Many people might not use that, but I would be willing to run some CAT5 for extra security or, rather, confidence.
Yes on systems I don't use that much and No on my primary system. I'm waiting for NoScript to finish its WebAssembly port. On the other systems I'm experimenting with uBlock Origin and uMatrix. (I may end up running all three with NoScript and "Allow Scripts Globally" enabled to just take advantage of its ABE, ClearClick and XSS protections, etc... letting uMatrix and uBO do the rest.)
Shipping one box of instant macaroni and cheese from Chicago to Atlanta could cost Walmart as much as $10, reports the WSJ.
From what I've read, Walmart has one of the most efficient shipping infrastructures, so I don't think they'd be that dumb. They would probably ship from someplace local/closer to Atlanta and, therefore, much less expensively.
You don't take away basic civil rights to placate megacorporations into improving their service.
If you do it once they'll use that trick to get what they want every time.
"If you don't do X we won't invest in broadband. If you don't do Y we won't invest in broadband."
And so on.
Exactly. Don't negotiate with terrorists or corporations.
... gutting the rules that he blamed for depressing investment in broadband.
Things are depressing alright, but I don't think it's in investment. But, maybe, with fewer burdensome regulations, carriers will pass any savings onto their customers. [ See, now you don't know whether to mod me informative or funny.:-) ]
I was successful in accomplishing a remote, non-cooperative, penetration.
So it looks like Judge Roy Moore can find a back-up career if his run for Alabama Senator falls through - once these planes get to be 14 years old, of course.
(More seriously, wouldn't a "cooperative" penetration be just like logging in and not an exploit/hack?)

Unfortunately, so can anyone else if you don't install critical firmware updates.
Seriously, it's not that hard to vacuum/sweep your floors.
You are not helping, but actually harming the NN cause with your post. It is easy to point at your idiotic behavior and generalize.
I'm so so so so sorry if I offended your delicate sensibilities with what was obviously a bit of hyperbole.
Sinij is going to be *really* torqued off when he reads A Modest Proposal.

It is income. It is taxable.
I wasn't disputing that idea, just the assertion that they don't work. Sorry for the confusion.
Without these waivers, you would have to work like the rest of us. Instead, you get free education.
Fuck you, whiny children. Get a job.
Get some knowledge dumb-ass; they do work. From The House Just Voted to Bankrupt Graduate Students:

Or the Borg.
That original page, or canonical page in Google parlance ...
Ubuntu AMP pages can show whatever they want because they're also canonical pages. :-)
They still do. Polls consistently show that viewers of Fox News ...
Fox News is a cable company, not broadcast TV.
It would have been funnier had you included the remainder of the original quote:
... the largest and most successful among its competitors by far, are the worst-informed news consumers of all.

I don't like that they moved the refresh button to the left of the URL. I preferred it on the right.
The Refresh button is now outside the URL bar and you can move it via the Customize screen like some of the other UI buttons.

(Maybe "30 under 30" meant how much personal info would be exposed in how many minutes.)
