Its the new American way; like banking at Wells Fargo, Financing a Chevy, flying Boeing, or having fire and flood insurance that didnt pay after of years of overbuying medical, earthquake and auto coverage... Damned if you do, damned if you don't,

So is Money the Devil or is software evil when its used by freeloaders? Would it be ok if we brought stolen laptops before we stole the software and then deny it, or blame the victims? Whats it gonna cost a soul to get off scott free at any price? Will the real Devil be here, or in Belize with MacAfee?
Google, a publicly owned and traded American international corporation, has all the same interests and incentives as the rest of the corporate superpowers that dominate capitalist world trade.
They are likely performing on par. In other words, they are all screwing over the public interest insofar as its profitable for them in their lifetime. They don't care beyond that. Its how the "middle class" pays for their retirement in the form of 401k accounts that are expected to out perform inflation in an investment climate in which savings and bonds can not keep up with it.
What do you suppose that costs society? These very results, for one, are precisely the level of commitment to integrity and social responsibility that we are likely to receive from any of them if we don't put our foot down and pass some sensible legislation.
Oh, wait...we need a functional government and congress for that....never mind,.. we're doomed
- Users want to be able to trust their O/S - Users don't want Microsoft to force spy on you - Users want their machines / hardware to be thiers, not Microsofts - Users don't want an evil Advertising ID in the O/S that they paid $200 for. That's just evil (Well, Spying is more evil) - Users don't want APPs installed automatically. - Users don't want the Evil Microsoft Store - Users don't want to have to ID themselves to Microsoft to install free software - Users don't want to have to ID themselves to install a fucking Office suite that's way over protected for what it is.

You are exactly correct.
M$ needs to authenticate the unique Win 10 user... preferably with a dual layer ID of IP address combined with reference to cellular or skype or whatever unique communications identifier may be utilized. This is an attempt to socially engineer insiders users join an ad-hoc captcha of human behavioral manipulation, We dance like a marionette, waltzing to the bullshit Bolero. This may assure their clients of the user data integrity. True Anonymity leads to redundancy in the data mine...The best way to optimize their earnings is to violate our privacy. We ain't worth squat unless we are a positively authenticated and itemized cataloged inventory UNIT. Why would corporate scum pay a premium for owning redundant user data probably previously mined. Data from Apple, Amazon, Google, and Verizon? Just buy and sell the unique M$ accounts not yet exsanguinated - and for a premium,
This is so lucrative that they will even pay a human to pretend to be a "Dev" (aka D.ata E.xtraction V.ampire) to "talk" to "you" in "reality", In fact a Mumbai call center boiler room zombie pretends to be a caucasion M$ developer in WA, just to nail you down, you wannabe mysogenist honky piece of cybermeat..
Forgive my cynical Tourette's syndrome. I forgot to take my anti psychotic, tri-polar, paranoia & impotency re-uptake boner inhibitor analgesic ( Anal..Geez..Ick ) halucination meds that I found in a dumpster at a hipster retirement community in San Bernadino County If you don't believe me then ask God... He'll remove any doubt. Unless you are in doubt God exists, which might be an existential delemma causing a borderline personality disorder or vaginal discharge. We must take this very seriously even if we've never seen a vagina, or have one installed and configured biologically.
They want to authenticate your identity on a windows 10 pc as if it were a cell phone - that way they can compete with the more widely used operating systems: android and apple
The Alt Tab thing is complete misdirection.
If that surprises you, then rest assured, it probably would surprise the folks who are working on this project.
There's nothing like clueless employees and customers when you want to dominate the universe with authenticated skype zombies with a credit line.
If you don't believe me just ask God or get a Ouija board.
You can't buy security or privacy. It is not an issue of price, it simply can't be sold as some sort of inventory or commodity. You can spend all you want on people who assure you that is what the have to sell you, but whatever it is that you just bought in no way can be measured by anything more than how you feel and what you believe. It is impossible to know if your privacy or security have improved or not. Either way, you'll never really know until its lost, at which point you realize that you paid the perpetrator's invoice after you put a spotlight onto the target on your back. A person with something to hide has a lot to lose. That's after their sense of privacy and security are already lost. All the blood money in the world can't buy it back, really.
Perhaps subconscious fear and insecurity become a beacon for sinister opportunists who will gladly oblige that self-fulfilling prophecy from those guilt-ridden souls. Those fortunate and highly paid individuals amongst all of the doomed that clamor at the gates. The downtrodden that manage to survive working a lunch shift at the corporate cafeteria for $12.50 an hour after an 80-minute commute and don't have a dime to steal at the end of the day. I bet they could care less about a free VPN, have a great deal of privacy, and are well aware of what is theirs and how they can feel safe and unthreatened.
Many years ago, the guardians of the Emperor's palace became very alarmed.
"Your Majesty, forgive our intrusion, but we must caution you immediately!"
The serene supreme calmly sighed, "there, there, what has upset you so?
"The Mongolians has invaded from the north - They have come n great multitude with soldiers and weaponry. They have pillaged the villages and rice paddies, raped the women, killed the farmers and burned the homes of all who resist their despotic wrath - what should we do?"
The Emperor complacently shrugs.
"Do not worry, grasshopper...." he says with a slight yawn "In a few hundred years they will all be Chinese"
So this must be the fake news about all of the fakery that data mines and advertisers splash around like pigs in poop. Oh, horrors! liars and parasites are everywhere.
Amen. This is how pensions, promises, and propriety cannibalize all remaining brand value and trust. This is how business behaves when it can't run a successful business nor manage to steal successfully. Just watch how everyone will regret the morally bankrupt corporate failures ahead.
NIMBYs have far, far, too much power in this country. They're why we can't have nice things - literally. There's a lot of pseudo-"environmental protection" laws that need reform to cover the real world - you shouldn't need permission to run trains on an existing rail line, and it should be relatively easy to build a block of apartments in an area zoned high density mixed use.
Yes.
You have identified precisely why voting is not enough to solve the problems in society. Not even in a City as great as San Francisco. Our individual vote serves our own self-interest. It is entirely Nimby. It does not scale properly when managing City, State, National, Global resources or others' well being. It never has, and never will until we evolve as human beings. This deficiency in human nature and democracy is amplified by the lobbies and special interests; the results speak for themselves.
So, how do we tackle massive social issues in a growth economy social democracy of constitutional "citizen" human beings? We are ineffective at solving most social problems in a voting booth, so far. This is the challenge. Our own well being is threatened by the inadequacy of our corporatist democracy. It won't serve the citizens mutually, fairly, or equally if our values and voice reflect the disparity of the privileged shareholder. There are two basic approaches to fixing social problems on this Ship of Fools. First. a policy that is inclusive of every single human being. The second is an exclusive policy for the shareholders that omits some of the population and throws them off the boat before considering viable options or final solutions.
Social illness is not entirely an economic problem, it is a sociological dilemma of valuing some people more than others, for any reason whatsoever that can be rationalized. How do we be human individuals and also improve humanity overall at the same time?
Money alone won't fix it because money doesn't shit on the street, cause drug abuse, or homelessness. Money simply affords it, at the current prices, and it rationalizes the spending for these very bad results.
We need to approach this with a commitment to make the world a place where people have better options than homelessness and drug addiction and public defecation in one of the most affluent and desirable places on earth. Nobody in their right mind wants or chooses this fucked up lifestyle so why don't we give everyone including ourselves better alternatives? The current "path of least resistance" is actually a hindrance in a punitive society with a puritanical ethos - We need to give people permission to be "deadbeats" without banishing them to failure, hopelessness, disease, and destruction. We are only mistreating ourselves by our willingness to accept disparity from the long end of the stick. Our success need not be celebrated by others' failure.
Human nature, not natural scarcity is the greatest deficiency and impediment to our world. It won't be cured by a municipal policy or NIMBY.
How do we fix it? We start by fixing ourselves and living by the golden rule. Especially when we are not being mistreated or suffering. Just because we are not to blame does not get us off the hook: as long as there is suffering in we must be motivated to end it or else we are resigned to its inevitability. We can do better and give a shit about all people. not just the special.
You can't steal someone's identity, in actuality, unless you have their biometric signature within their physical body. This is how to responsibly authenticate access to hundreds of millions of dollars. However, if for some reason your real identity is better kept unknown and shrouded in cryptocurrency to evade taxes and hide the identity of your investors' insider hedges then I guess you get what you deserve from anonymity.
The real problem is the laws regarding banking is stuck in the late 20th Century when bank robbery became "identity theft".
In the 19th Century, they called it bank robbery when the Wells Fargo Stage Coach got robbed.
In the 21st Century, Wells Fargo robs the customer, outright.
This story would be a whole lot more meaningful if, for example, the resulting 90% performance of these quantum chips is any way could be contrasted with ANY frame of reference to reality. Whats the point of reporting test results as compared to...what? What the hell does it mean?... that every not quantum computer can't perform at all? If I am supposed to care about these results compared to nothing at all then I'm in grave doubt as to the value of this technology in the hands of those who can't distinguish it from an iPhone app's performance. I'm pretty sure it can recognize a tree too. Quantum weakness in rhetorical value. Wake up the other hemisphere on this half baked argument so that nerd news can matter to the rest of the human race.
