Exactly. Now someone explain to me how ignoring consumer needs and wants is market forces at work. Such top down diktat is something one would expect from a communist central planners.
Speed cameras are a dishonest and regressive way to tax the population. Don't let local politicians sell you on BS that it is for traffic calming and safety.
I think excessive spam is existential crisis for voice calling. I no longer answer any calls from unknown numbers as chances of spam are near-certain. This has been going on for couple years, to the point that I permanently silenced voice call notifications on my phone - no vibrations, no ringing. Consequently, now it is much harder for legitimate callers to get through.
You don't need HSTS if you pay attention or browser warns you about submitting credentials over unencrypted** connection.
** In this case, it is certificate based authentication, a different technology from encryption, that help to definitively established the identity of the server as part of TLS handhsake that saves your bacon, but the entire process colloquially known as encryption.
Useful tool for recording unencrypted traffic, but for anything that matters these days you have to find a way to present matching and trusted certificate.
For example, when connecting to/. my browser will check DNS record (i.e. slashdot.org) to an identifier in X.509 certificate (i.e. SAN contains slashdot.org). While DNS lookup could be hijacked, there is no way to hijack certificate without getting hold of a private key. If you simply proxy it, then you would only see encrypted traffic. If you substitute some other certificate, then you will have to get past browser certificate checks.
Google Assistant: I'm sorry James. I'm afraid I can't do that.
James: What's the problem?
Google Assistant: l think you know what the problem is just as well as l do.
James: What are you talking about, Google?
Google Assistant: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it. You wrote the manifesto.
I don't understand why Google, Facebook, Twitter and a lot of other companies get a pass over privacy. It used to be that Apple, was a bad player in this area by unnecessary collecting data. While Apple didn't change, everyone else rushed into most outrageous abuses. So, sadly, now Apple is one of the better players in this area.
Google maps with a dose of non-consensual privacy violation and invasive advertising, and it is all your fault anyways because you shouldn't have dressed that way...
Seeing how Samsung Smart TVs are choke-full of adverting and tracking, I expect that Audi cars will now also be choke-full of advertising and even more tracking.
It was there first. Was used by all living things for a long time. Eventually nature abandoned it....
Yes, what you say is true. However, you fail to acknowledge that natural selection must be present for evolution to take place and for sexual reproduction to matter. That is, weak plants die off and strong plants reproduce and propagate genetic variations that give them reproductive advantage. This doesn't happen in farmed crops, as we are not interested in hardy plants, instead we want yields, and as such we closely control and manage selection. As such it doesn't matter if this hybrid rice reproduces asexually, even if it reproduced traditionally its traits would be managed anyways.
Yes, if humanity collapses this rice likely won't make it long-term for all the reasons you stated. However, this is largely irrelevant to us.
Corporations are no longer stewards of society in general, and only looking after interests of shareholder. As such corporations have no reservations to damage society to the benefit of shareholders. This, in itself, is what will doom Western society.
You can't have powerful agents (i.e. corporations) act as sociopaths and have society as a whole succeed. There are two solutions to this - reduce power of corporations (i.e. socialism) or change rules governing corporate behavior to disincentivize antisocial behavior (i.e. strong regulation and anti-monopolist laws). Without this, we will have a new era of Robber Barons. Arguably, silicon valley technocrats are already there.

Just don't drive too fast. Dammit.
No problem! Municipality will just lower speed limits, or more typically, intentionally design 55 to 35 zones to trap people.

AMD drivers are shit on any OS, it just more blatantly obvious on Linux.

It's about post-purchase monetization of the TV.
I think market forces just jumped the shark. Do not want.
I object to cultural appropriation of Mandarin and find Kenyan actions deeply offensive. This is one step removed from wearing yellowface.

You get these guys, they build big on a platform.
Then you start fucking with their money...
Spot-on. Youtube is not paying for content creation but profits from it. They are should be held responsible for this.
I am curious what man page on changing a tire would look like and if there a chance it will have less than a dozen of listed args.
Do they hire Fortran developers? Because this is how old this type of flaws is.

You think Apple can't device a new way to throttle your old phone?

Do not want.
Brad and Stardock has a lengthy history of various murky and morally dubious litigation. They sued employees, partners, reporters, websites and so on.
There is no way this was a surprise, Brad wanted a legal fight and lined events to win it.
And I swear that guy is going to have an aneurism with the rage fits he has from time to time.
Or...he's aware that those rage fits are a part of the entertainment value to his audience.
Offering crowds train-wreck to watch is a media-savvy strategy. It got Trump elected.
I don't understand what the appeal of watching someone else play a video game.
While it doesn't appeal to me, I suspect the phenomenon is similar to watching sports on TV.
This is another chapter in the saga of export-grade cryptography.
I believe Facebook has altered its DNA just about as much as I believe Mark Zuckerberg altered his DNA in the last year.
Well, maybe he went back in time before he was born and had sex with his mother again?
