Sounds like its replacement will require each TV to be a connected device.
Not necessarily for cable subscribers. They need to have decoders -- either from the cable company or a third-party, like TiVo -- which can be used to track what you're watching - or, at least, tuned to. In many cases customers also need a SDV controller, so even if you have a third-party device, the cable company can track your tuning habits.
I'm anti-freedom. One of the proper functions of government is to keep corporations on a tight leash and restrict their ability to violate customers' privacy.
In general, one of the functions of Government is to ensure that one can exercise their rights *and* not infringe on the rights of others. Both Conservatives and Liberals are guilty of forgetting and/or ignoring that.
Yeah but is that because they don't have access to weapons or because it is against their culture?
I admit I'm trolling. Still relevant.
Your question doesn't seem like a troll - though I'm sure some moderators here would (someone modded me Flame-bait for this joke) - and I'd be curious about the availability vs. culture thing too.
Why don't we all give you our front door keys as well? That will make things easier for you too!!!
Not really much easier than simply breaking down the door -- which isn't something they can do to a smartphone.
More seriously, I don't remember the part of the Constitution that says our rights are contingent on how easy it is for the Government to usurp and/or ignore them.
Bitcoin and stocks have something in common. Their price has absolutely no connection to reality. Since Bitcoin is new and tech-y, younger people feel more comfortable with it, even though it's all a complete scam, just like the stock market.
Although... owning stock is owning a part of a company that (usually) has an tangible value. Owning bitcoin is owing bits and no coin. I imagine bitcoin is more of a scam than stocks, but their apparently never ending rise in value seems easy and attractive, but what goes up eventually comes down.
Youngsters are used to simply raiding their parents fridge, but there is actually no free lunch.
Try flipping off the president, it could easily cost you your job.
Posting your contempt on fb, twitter or any public venue, will get you fired and rightly so.
According to this article (and others), Juli Briskman wasn't identifiable in the photo (and was off-work and displayed no company affiliations in the photo), but after it went viral she voluntarily told her company that it was her and they fired her for violating their social media policy by posting something ‘lewd’ or ‘obscene’.
It's worth noting that the company only reprimanded a male executive who called someone “f—ing Libtard a–hole” on his Facebook account that displayed the company logo and info and then allowed the guy to clean up his posts.
However, their fears that this quark fusion could be weaponized soon fizzled out as they realized in subsequent experiments that quarks exist only for about one picosecond. That’s too short a time to create a chain reaction to set off more baryons, as the quarks quickly decay into less volatile, lighter quarks.
(In short, they decay faster than Trump's attention span.)
Slashdot Mirror
I don't disagree with you, but your comment has nothing to do with mine and I don't really see where our comments are in conflict, so settle down.
... the money spent every month on cable subscriptions could buy a lot of DVD and Blu-ray discs.

The Quantum is the smallest possible increment. Always remember that when someone tells you it's a quantum leap in performance.
I'm more afraid this Quantum Leap will consist of reliving the past mistakes and horrors made by other people.
which the end user won't be able to access anymore
No. You can view source on WebAssembly modules. Also see the FAQ.
Ya, but that's not the original language source from, say C, etc... just the Web Assembly text.
What most people don't realize is webassembly is just a way to obfuscate the web in the same manner people already obfuscate compiler binaries.
And further helping protect the intellectual property represented by the source code - which the end user won't be able to access anymore.
Is this a good or bad thing for the end-user, meaning *me*, and, if not good, how do I disable it?
Sorry, but "Asgardia" sounds like something itchy you treat with a cream or lotion. :-)
The laser beam would presumably pass through some kind of optical turret, which can track a moving target.
Or a real genius could use it for a huge tin of popcorn in their professor's house.
There's nothing wrong with a God mode. They key is making sure the right person is God.
Problem is that everyone thinks they're the one - or should be.
Yeah but is that because they don't have access to weapons or because it is against their culture?

...Just when I think we've reached the limits of how crazy fucked-up the Japanese can be, they show me I'm wrong.
On the other hand, they don't seem to be spending any time shooting people at music festivals, churches or schools every other week.
According to CBS, the show will apparently find the crew of the USS Discovery in "unfamiliar territory," ...
They find themselves on the Orville, learning how to be likable. :-)

Sean Parker, it is your fault for creating the thing.
Well... the Winklevoss twins created Facebook and Sean and Mark just stole it. :-)
I guess "To-may-to, to-mah-to".
Don't run with the herd if you want to make real money.
I get the no risk / no reward sentiment, but... animals that break away from their herds are often the ones killed and eaten first.
Bitcoin is just numbers on a computer.
All bits, no coin.

I think we just reached criticality, guys. Imagine the dose of Trumptweets doubled.
On the up side, Trump will now have room to express two incomplete thoughts.
Trump and Kim will love that.
Well... From TFA:

A Huge Redesign Is Coming To Snapchat
Autonomous cars need to be 99.999999999999999% reliable before they should be considered ready for public consumption.
Noting that nothing else is that reliable. Not people, not Verizon, not even condoms - but use the last one with the first two anyway.
The summary states, "it's clear engineers at the company care more about getting things right than they do about being first."
So, basically what you're saying is, Toyota is the anti-Tesla.
Perhaps what's being said is that Toyota has had issues in the past with software and is trying to be careful about that.

Barr's ultimate conclusions were that:
