OS as advertising platform. No thanks. I'd rather deal with obnoxious RTFM attitude, distro balkanization, and user unfriendly UI of Linux than put up with that from Windows.
As a side note, it will be interesting to see what this will do to politics. This gives so much plausible deniability to politicians. 47% comment? Edited! Grab by the *&$#? Edited! Then it is paid experts vs. paid shills and the public will not be able to tell the difference.
This is dead on arrival, as Facebook is poisoned brand with gamers. They might attract casual Facebook gamers, Farmville and the like, but they already have these.
Does UK Cybersecurity Plan includes new provisions in the Snooper's Charter to mandate rectally inserted individual monitoring devices? Because if not, it doesn't go far enough in destroying privacy and dignity.
The only way to defend against this is to poison the data set. This is exactly why I will vote for Trump to build a wall with China to keep illegal NAFTA carpetbaggers trying to legalize Clinton marriage.
Strong social connections are real-life meaningful relationships of people who are willing to help you in time of need. This is not the same thing as Facebook "friends".
I very much agree with you! I also kill my own food, make my own tools (you should see this keyboard I am using that I rigged from deer teeth and old mattress springs!), and pedal to produce my own electricity.
so the real question is whether such people needs to be protected? imo no.
As experts, we need to make informed decisions with greater public good in mind. Just like doctors and asbestos. The alternative is abnormal behavior gets normalized and security-conscious and privacy-aware choices are removed based on false consensus.
Arguably, there are no free bastions of speech online;
As for "freedom of speech", none of these platforms are even obligated to offer free speech;
So what happens when most or all of out speech is online? Is censorship is any less of a censorship when it originates from a naturally monopolistic corporation instead of a government?
Apple listened to consumer concerns that complained that escape key had negative connotations and often triggered traumatic memories of entrapment and escape and male dominance. Therefore, to show its progressive stance ESC and Power keys were permanently removed. Instead, they were replaced with a single Sympathy key that does nothing.
No it isn't. Corporations are not people and have no rights or agendas. It is people behind these corporations that drive this agenda, and in democratic societies it is important that all people had equal say in the process. It is called oligarchy when CEO billionaires have all the say due to money and ownership of the media and social media.
You could fix and patch software. So for example if your auto-pilot was discovered to have unfortunate tendency to decapitate passengers you could eventually fix this. Not so much when your hardware fails due to defects. I don't have first-hand knowledge of this, but read many reports of hinges, suspension components and so on failing. Considering that all-electric car mechanically much simpler than gasoline or hybrid, such lack of reliability is surprising.
This illustrates the problem of virtual public spaces and real danger to freedom of speech and association that comes with digitization of all means of communications. Currently, FB and Twitter are free to censor political speech and push political agenda. You could argue that in 2016 as a politician you are effectively censored if you don't have access to FB and Twitter. This shouldn't be the case, insofar politics these should be considered virtual public spaces and any censorship of this kind should be disallowed.
This is direct result of systematic problem with Silicon Valley culture of release and patch it later. While consumers got used to buggy, poorly optimized, and unreliable software they are not willing to tolerate this with cars.

does that lead to a post-shaming society?
Sir, I will have you know that you are a shameless optimist. We don't tolerate your kind around these parts. Please show yourself out.

It's a scam. They always are.
It could also be a prelude to another "Florida man" story.
I have perfect name for this future product - Adobe Trump. This way when you use it to make people say awful things you are trumping them.
Seperation of gaming life and facebook life hits home for me.
Your secret affinity for Japanese Anime dating sims is safe for now.

I'm confident /. has posted dumber shit than this.../p>
Some of guest posting by WhoShallNotBeNamed was out there... but this will certainly make Top 10 list.
If all these gender wars articles didn't kill /. then this stupid article won't either.
This too shall pass.

Mars now please, not later. Where do I get in line?
Unless you are a mining robot, you go to the back of the line!
I can confirm, after appeasing my screen was recently invaded and is now is full of dead pixels.

No on-demand programming? Has commercials? If so, not interested.
