The internet hasn't met capitalism. The infrastructure is heavily regulated by the government with a view to limiting the number of competing providers. You can argue about whether or not that's a good thing, but you can't say that is a free market. Limiting the number of providers will always result in lower quality, and higher priced, service.
No, it's not heavily regulated by government. Actually, lobbyists come in and advocate for laws restricting competition thereby protecting the Frontiers, Charters, etc. It's a rigged game.
Every time some idiot yammers about how the free hand of the market will correct things, remember stories like this. Without regulation, every company will put abusive contracts in place that will force you to pay a fortune to end a contract in order to make it as difficult as possible for you to be able to choose.
The free market would work but it's anything but a free market. It's so rigged in favor of the wealthy and the large corporations that we need regulation in order to prevent rampant abuse. In many places, the ISP has a monopoly and therefore little to no incentive to provide a quality service. In other places it might be a duopoly where both companies are neck and neck for being the shittiest ISP out there. Where there is a monopoly and duopoly, competition has been restricted by the government. The government is just doing what the lobbyists want. I just refuse to sign contracts anymore for service. If you want my business, don't make me sign an "agreement." It's just a way to lock someone in for abysmal service.
This will be the thing that causes Redis to lose whatever prominent marketshare it currently has.
It certainly is very consumer unfriendly. One of my favorite applications called Rspam uses Redis. I am guessing that Rspam is going to be ripping out that and choosing a friendly, open source product. It's a shame that greed is winning out.
I remember reading somewhere that the stripes were a product of evolution. Apparently, it is to confuse their primary predator, the lion. Since lions see only in black and white, the stripes are designed to confuse and disorient the lion.
Unless you've had any law classes or anything of that nature, legalese would be mumbo jumbo. My undergrad was in Criminal Justice and I had significant coursework in constitutional law, criminal procedure, and criminal law so it isn't mumbo jumbo to me. I can see how someone without any exposure to legalese would get a wicked headache by trying to interpret all of that crap in a ToS.
Maybe the powers that be will finally take notice and start regulating privacy and big data. But more than likely, nothing will become of this. At least Apple slapped down Facebook like a mosquito.
How do you define cost? Yes, it's monetarily expensive but, when good protective measures are taken, the environmental cost is an order of magnitude less for generating energy.
I think that this is true for all of the agencies effected by the shutdown. I am a ham radio operator and I have been waiting forever for a license Administrative Update from the FCC to take effect. I moved just after the shutdown so my license still shows my old address and telephone number. When I woke up this morning, I had an email in my inbox informing me that the administrative update has been completed but I am unable to download a copy of the corrected license because the FCC ULS is down. Normally this would make me growl a little but this is just part of the start up so I should unpack my patience.
Fuck Comcast and their shitty network. They should have to pay for upgrades to their crappy-ass network. Thankfully Verizon doesn't need to add caps to their network because it's all fiber and can handle the extra traffic.
25% is actually a very large number when you look at the population. That's 1/4 jobs are at risk of automation. This article is full of shit. If 1/4 jobs were to disappear the economic fallout would be staggering.
I'm sure that 99.999â+ of their users never even heard of the MPAA, though, so I expect this to have no real consequences for them.
I just cancelled my subscription. I could (sort of) understand a price hike but this is the last straw. The programming quality of Netflix has gone downhill anyhow. I just streamed the first episode of the new season of The Punisher and it sucked ass. It's totally not worth the 10.99 or whatever it is going to go up to. I've seen better programming on Sony Crackle and I don't have to pay them a dime. All I have to do is watch an occasional shitty commercial that never lasts that long and the programming comes back on.
I am going to cancel my subscription now. I cannot, in good faith, give money to a company that openly supports the MPAA mafia. Good bye, Netflix. It was fun while it lasted.
This win is a pyrrhic victory because it doesn't cover the content of the websites themselves, it simply removes them from one search engine. People could always choose to visit the most commonly used review sites like Angie's List or Yelp. In the US, consumers are protected by law against corporate backlash when using these sites to leave negative reviews. The old adage, "You cannot please everyone" applies. It sucks when some up tight consumer is upset because he or she wasn't given a happy ending and write a bad review.
This is why I just roll my own. I don't think I would be able to trust any VPN service provider for precisely this reason. Corporations do all kinds of shady shit so the only way you can be reasonably certain of your own security is to take matters into your own hands. When you configure, control, and manage your own VPN solution, you can be reasonably certain that your secure.
I'm sick of the robo calls, scammers, and telemarketers. I have one calling me everyday at 10am without fail. It's always a company trying to sign me up for Lyft. I never answer anymore. Since I have enhanced name ID, I can see the name of the person calling me and it's already someone different whom I don't know so I just don't answer anymore. Unfortunately, my carrier charges for this enhanced service but it's only two bucks. Not breaking the bank.
Over my cold dead ass will they ever be able to put an implant like that inside of me. If Elon ever tried to force this on the human race, I am going to put up one helluva fight to the death.
Given that weight is not as much an issue in these types of aircraft, I suspect that travel will be a whole lot more comfortable. People will be less crammed into a small space.
Even if it was absolutely free, there's no way, even in the shady side of hell, that I would want to live in China; much less visit the country. As much as I hate that beady-eyed little hamster, Elon Musk, I wager that he probably had to stifle a laugh at the offer.

This is a little bit shocking. Say goodbye to membership to the bar and law license.

So that Oracle can get butt fucked by their decision to be so consumer unfriendly when it comes to their policies on Java.

It's nothing but another means to make more money for big, for-profit healthcare. There is no internet addiction.

I had the mental picture of Wil E. Coyote all frustrated that his Acme-brand super duper rocket got blown over.

I worked in IT and I am glad I am out of it. It's a rat race to the bottom.
I swear I saw this exact same thing happening in 1999.
And then a year later the bubble burst.
The demand for big data is yet another bubble.
Because I would close it.

It's just becoming an overused, overhyped term by CEOs (an even CIOs) who neither understand nor use it correctly.
