The difference is, each individual has a private email address whereas fax machines are shared for a whole department and anyone walking by can read them. Both are equally vulnerable to misdirection due to the errors by the sender (wrong digit in fax number or wrong character in email address). Both phone and email are (typically) unencrypted, and as long as the government wants to maintain the ability to snoop, that's unlikely to change.
It isn't just the elderly who will have problems in a cashless society. Authoritarian governments LOVE cashless payments as it allows them to keep tabs on what everybody is buying and selling. "Sorry, you've bought too much alcohol this month, time for re-education camp." "You bought a ski mask but no skis? You must be planning a robbery (or worse, a protest)!"
Unless, of course, we are morally culpable for our stewardship of the planet. But that would presuppose some higher being to which we are morally culpable - which is not scientific, and so, CANNOT be true.
No, it just presupposes a morally responsibility to the generations of human beings who come after you jackass. Evolution favors traits that benefit the species as a whole over those that benefit the individual.
When it comes to climate change, both liberals and conservatives are equally clueless. Conservatives don't think it exists (or choose to ignore it). Liberals think we can wish it away by switching to curly light bulbs, holding hands and singing kumbaya. It can't be reversed now even with major changes to carbon consumption (not that that would ever happen with both sides taking tons of cash from the energy lobbyists). Time to move to higher ground and stock up on canned goods and bullets.
It's not unbundled, it's just bundled differently. Every streaming service has nearly the same batch of old movies and TV shows, to which they each add a few exclusive, internally produced titles. To get the good stuff, you've got to re-buy a ton of stuff you already have on the other streaming services.
The problem is not too many streaming services. Competition is good for consumers. The problem is too many exclusives. Game of Thrones only on HBO Go, Star Wars only on Disney+, Star Trek only on CBS-All-Access. All of them are charging as if they were a full cable replacement instead of a single cable channel.
Her research showed a notable difference between millennials and baby boomers.
You do know there's a whole generation in between Boomers and Millennials right? A lot of Boomers are retired now, so if this research is being done on commuters, the people you are calling "Baby Boomers" are probably Generation X.
Remember when camera modules were expensive and the "obvious" way to have both front and rear facing cameras was to have one camera on a mechanical rotating swivel (like the Sony Clie PEG)? Sometimes the "obvious" solution is also the dumb solution.
It's not tradition for the sake of tradition, it's a clumsy attempt to get our mechanical clocks to align more closely with our biological clocks. Without any clocks, people naturally synchronize their activity to the sun, waking earlier in the summer and sleeping earlier (and longer) in the winter.
Free speech is not an absolute right. Among the many forms of speech not protected by the first amendment: perjury, libel, slander, false advertising, inciting violence, copyright infringement, obscenity and threats. For the record, freedom of religion doesn't mean you can perform human sacrifices or polygamy and the right to bear arms doesn't include nuclear weapons. All rights have limits.
The right kind of oversight would be limiting what kind of private user information Google collects, or at least forcing them to disclose it. The EU kind of oversight is just trying to handicap Google so a European competitor (hahahahaha) can take its place and do the exact same evil that Google does except while paying EU taxes.
They should have said it looks like an upside-down cracked open book. In short, it looks like a tent, or the roof of house without the house. Is there an RTFM equivalent of "Look at the damn photo"?
I suspect they think charging $500 for $50 worth of hardware to gain access to the tunnel service will give them the upfront capital they need to get started. If they already had the startup capital, they'd be giving away the boxes and charging a monthly subscription fee.
Don't be disappointed. Hydro power requires flooding an entire valley of oxygen-producing, CO2-sequestering trees. Nuclear is better, at least in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
While I agree there's a need for a review/recommendation system that can't be gamed by bad actors, nothing about this one indicates it will be any better than the rest.
How come no one worries about inflation due to the constantly rising wages of CEOs and Wall Street douche-bags? How come no one worries about inflation due to tax breaks for the wealthy? It's a specious argument anyway, since the employees will have minimal extra spending money to drive inflation. The difference will be that all their money is coming from their employer instead of their wages being subsidized by government programs like foodstamps.
At one time, the growth of the automobile industry was limited by the number of rubber tree plantations in the world (all those cars need tires you know). Then someone invented synthetic rubber made from the byproducts of the petroleum all those cars were using. Problem solved.
Now the limit on electric cars is cobalt for lithium-ion batteries. Until some clever person develops zinc-air batteries or carbon nanotube batteries or something even better. One way or the other, electric cars are coming.

24 hours and not a single reply or down-vote? Did Putin give all the trolls an early Christmas break?
...for billionaires. Sorry rust-belt, all you get in you stocking is coal (literally).
Mod parent up. The most common cause of a sudden, unexplained failure for both HDs and SSDs is a failure of the controller rather than the media.

I wonder what Trump had to promise GM for them to delay the announcement until after the election?

Or new music is crap and I already ripped/pirated everything I'll ever want to listen to decades ago.

That's why I always use extra small fonts in my emails to conserve bandwidth.
