As I just said to someone else: sadly typical law-enforcement type: obsessed with control, doesn't want silliness like 'civil rights', 'human rights', or 'common sense' getting in the way of controlling everything 24/7/365.
AT&T wants a certain amount of legislation codified so it can appease the people that are pro-net neutrality. Then it can find ways to get around the law.
500.00 a month is peanuts. How about adopting the Social Security Disability standard of 1170.00 per month? At least you could have a roof over your head.
I just want to look at my friends kids and pet pics. Is that so much to ask?
Mod the parent up! I originally joined facebook to keep in touch with friends. After the last election and all of the negativity, I deleted my account. I am now 85 days free.
I think it has come to that. You can't have an economy based on consumption when no one can afford to buy because they don't have jobs to earn the money that it takes to consume.
These are true SJWs! How are you going to advance your cause by potentially hurting the rank and file people going to work. In the end, you sabotage your entire mission and you look like an asshole. What if one of those buses had gotten in a wreck and killed people? If you want to make a dent, you have to go after the big fish in the ivory towers. Fucking idiots!
So how long will it take for major news organizations to figure out a way they can use the built in advertising to boost their ranks and better position themselves? Facebook relies on advertising money. If suddenly major advertisers are being ranked low do you really think Facebook will allow that? How long till companies are paying for better ranking?
Facebook may find a way to charge news outlets for *verified* status and thus another stream of revenue.
It's certainly looking like the trend is heading there. It will be really scary once enough people vote against the holocaust ever happening that it becomes mainstream thought. That's when we will be supremely fucked.
Many people out there don't use the space between their ears for an by kind of critical thinking. So they're apt to believe anything they read and rank something that is blatantly false as trusted... The old I read it on the internet so it must be true syndrome.
The leaking of information, at most, is a tort. It is not a crime and there will be no jail! Michael O'Sullivan is nothing more than a bully and how is this memo not work placement harassment!?
California, being the most populous state, has some not insignificant energy needs. How are they going to make this happen? It seems like California is good at just kicking problems further into the future without actually addressing them presently.
Say what you will about Terry Gross, but she is an astute observer and has a breadth of knowledge about human psychology from the sheer number of years that she has spent interviewing and studying people. I find her personally overbearing and a little annoying but I will give her the credit she is due. However, I do like it when her bullshit-o-meter hits critical mass and she can no longer hold back. People need a good solid dose of reality at times.
This is *exactly* what you should expect when you attempt to socially engineer a solution that violates the rules of business, in this case, artificially raising the cost of labor beyond the market value. One hundred percent entirely predictable, and predicted.
You're incorrect. You fail to take into account certain demographics. There are a large number of the baby boomer generation that do not and cannot use computers well. These folks will simply stop patronizing fast food establishments that use this kind of automation. Computers can and do fail and when they do not work optimally, people become impatient. In the case of people ordering food from a kiosk, if that kiosk does not work 100% correctly, people will just get frustrated and leave. Since computer software is notoriously buggy with freezing and slowness, how long do you expect someone to wait to order food from a computer when the order taker might actually be a little bit faster? Being a hardware tech for computerized kiosks, I see problems with touchscreens, coupon readers, and bill collection units all the time. If I were forced to use one of those, I think after the second time it fucked up, I would be straight out the door.
As others have previously, it is now time for a completely open processor. I like the work of openrisc and risc v projects. In my opinion, Intel is standing at the precipice of its own undoing. Intel's steadfast refusal to issue a recall is just hubris and might be a call to arms for competition to knock it down. This year might very well be the year that a few kickstarter projects get launched and that we have the beginnings of an exciting new trend in computing.

Well that made a whole lot of sense .... NOT!
I am glad that Wyden had the courage to call out the crap that the FBI has been spewing.

Well said, sir! I could not agree more.
The insurance industry is just crazy! Plum fucking loco.
He deserves that bitcoin!

You really are a coward!
Well, when society gets to that point we will be in a new civil war.
Plus, the teller jobs that do exist are mostly part time.

Why not consider running one of the BSDs on it? OpenBSD will cruise and you will have a very secure laptop.

Sadly, this does not surprise me.
Most people don't read and have shockingly poor comprehension when they do. This has gotten much worse (at least in the US) over the past 100 years.
LOL I didn't bother to read TFA so perhaps totally don't comprehend what it said...
With cutbacks to education and the abysmal teaching salaries, are you honestly surprised education has gotten so bad in the US?
I wouldn't blame the person that sent out the mistaken alert. Blame should fall on the designer of the system.

I would wait until some fixes come for Meltdown and Spectre.
