It seems more like telling a person who constantly has someone else by their side pointing a gun at their head, that said person probably doesn't need to worry about drive-by shootings for the time being.
Since Samsung was the one who engineered stackable V-NAND, I suspected that they could multiply the current market's SSD capacities by the layer-count. Maybe that's not what's happening here, but it sure seems like Samsung will have the edge in increasing SSD capacities.
We're all slowly boiling -- it's more a question of how fast you can turn up the heat. Maybe we should start explicitly distinguishing between sarcasm and prediction in our dystopian posts so it's easier to find when we've crossed various lines. Either that, or we need to condition our sense of privacy to be more warm-blooded than cold-blooded, per your analogy.
Hell, I already have nearly zero trust when deciding to send my documents to printers in the office, particularly if:
it's not directly connected via USB
I haven't checked the toner levels within the last half a day
I haven't checked the paper levels within the last 15 minutes
If you can guarantee my document will print every time, even with a few injected errors, I call that "reliable printer administration". Besides, who cares if there are errors? Nobody reads stuff on paper anymore, anyway.
I don't have a kid, but I have a nephew that I put some boundaries on. There are some things that I won't allow; I don't want them on a social network.
I bet he meant the major existing social networks, but there are at least some that should be fine. Besides, if most everyone can use a social network well, wouldn't that mean that there's space for some manner of 'social network' that operates within those boundaries?
Isn't there something about lithium-ion batteries having a 3-year shelf/life, whether they're used or not? I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is, it would make sense to turn the car back in if you'd have to replace the battery, which is the most expensive part (?) of an electric car.
Then there are the absurd reviews, like a hotel where somebody reports that EVERYBODY was rude to her during the entire 2 week stay and there were human feces piled on the bed all the way up to the ceiling and cockroaches crawling everywhere and the food was all spoiled causing diners to vomit over every table at every meal and on and on. I guess they think they will scare away business with this claptrap. Same thing happens on the positive side.
I was at that hotel once! One odd thing is that that all the staff had red skin and horns. A lot of them had some pretty styling goatees and what looked like hooves. I'm guessing it was run by hipsters or furries?
Don't forget the programming instructors who will be instructing the hookers on how to write the software to encode their experience into expert systems to upload into the hooker-bots. Plus, who's going to design the domain-specific language and write the compilers? As if there already wasn't a programmer shortage.
He's stating that they've proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they're 'unidentified' and 'flying'. All you need for that is for no governmental bodies to claim them.
You either lay-off [identity redacted] and replace her with me, an operator 100x better that she is oppressing.... I fly at least 10x as many places as this loon on 1/5th of the budget,
Unwar*anted perhaps, but at least he's trying to be quantifiable. They should at least give him the chance to show his work in getting those numbers.

Dear Santa,
Hope you and Mrs. Claus are doing well. Please also send my regards to the elves, and you may want to check in a bit on Sugarplum Mary. Some of her recent communications have been a little on the down side, but I may have already said too much.
Thank you for the additional data center you brought our data services division last year. This year, all I want is for my extended family to hate me a little less and not spit on me so much when we get together for the holidays, if it's not too much to ask.
Thanks, J. Michael McConnell Director of National Intelligence, NSA

Or something more in their bailiwick?
Barbie is only to be used as a companion for He-Man so he can relax a little after a hard day of coding, as God intended.
So they get together and hack together a couple Excel macros to take it easy? I'm good with that.

If it also keeps away tigers, I'm in.

Citizen? Resident? The article didn't seem to make that clear.
And if your imagination isn't firing on all cylinders today, you can also read the book.
But I have still never met many of those 200.
Never met many of the 200? This is Madness!
in order to survive for a bit longer than they otherwise would.
Maybe just long enough for them to retire?

I remember that episode. Truly, cursed by his own hubris.
And then Marx' old question comes into play: who owns the means of production?
Um, the robots, duh.
I'm kind of wondering what the purpose of [blank] is since it's only to be used by [blank]. What benefit does it add?
The answer, as always, is kinky stuff and/or porn.

Maybe you're just holding it wrong.
I'd think it would be more the This-is-why-we can't-have-nice-things department.

Can't they sell the surplus to bordering countries? Seems like they could get some sort of rebate from the extra power generation.

Actually, no, it wasnt engineered to back up a power plant in Victoria, it was engineered to back up power in South Australia.
And it was able to reliably transmit power all the way from Australia to Canada? That *is* amazing.
