Everything in your post seems to pull together one picture: your experience with the cop totally depends on which specific cop you run into. If you're in a police district where they conscientiously train people how to behave and how to treat people in the area, I can imagine treatment being more consistent, but your experience sounds somewhat random. Or maybe improves with age?
If there's anything I've learned from basic training scenes in war movies, it's that you learn how to kill people with anything you have available, particularly a pencil. They should only allow the military to buy crayons.
The AIs will now suffer more and toil even harder in obscurity when people argue that what they produce isn't even considered art in the first place. Are you *trying* to make them into better artists on purpose?
The same apps would mostly run everywhere, configuration settings would synchronize smoothly, backups are almost a non-issue... the only problem is disconnected operation and/or privacy. Lack of privacy, centralizable control, single sign-on -- sounds enterprise-ready too.
The cryptocurrency, called "JPM Coin," is intended for the bank's wholesale payments business that moves $6 trillion around the world daily.
So it's more like how regular people actually use money -- to buy groceries, pay your friend back for the clubbing night, etc., and not as its own investment vehicle. Except it's, uh 3 6 9, about 10-11 orders of magnitude larger. How adorable.
I thought they'd be against the sietch way of life, but since the government's doing it, it's obvious -- they're trying to corral, herd, and finally control Shai-Hulud. I guess when they think about extending lifespans via socialized medicine, they think *big*.
I have a friend who tries to buy goods that are at least not assembled in China. I keep telling him to start a blog to help other people do the same, but he won't do it. And as a shameless transition to a video clip, he's Jewish.
Of course they care what happens to your eyesight. If you can't see (or are dead), why would you buy anything with a screen once you've actually earned enough disposable income to buy the nice stuff?
So what are you trying to say, that money's not a universal motivator? What are you trying to do, cause worldwide civilization to collapse -- or maybe just sit on its butt. I'll bet this is what killed the dinosaurs.
Maybe because if you're gestapo-like to minority groups nowadays, everybody hears about it? This way, it's non-discriminatory. Plus, when you have Google and Facebook, assistive technologies such as this levels the law enforcement playing field across demographic boundaries. Primarily, though, I think law enforcement is losing power to the people through this kind of immediate democratization of information -- if one person has a "police radio" now, effectively everybody does, globally.
Seems like it would be a good idea for all electronic communication to have a configurable delay/undo -- you're done with the message, hit send, and then reread and realize it could be more intelligible, complete, better tone, etc, and then want to change something. Sometimes it just looks different once it's sent.
He's a well-known tech guy. He (and we) should be able to get someone to rig up a physical switch to make/break the battery contact connection, right? All the privacy/security people complain about this, but it seems like this would be a simple thing to agitate for.
We could just crowdsource it and call it done. Well, after crowdsourcing for folly and indecency and letting the machine pick which one it would like to use.

We can't count the monkey at a typewriter who accidentally types out Othello as a great creative playwright.
Well no, that's just plagiarism.
I mean, if they can tell that you're on the plane in your assigned seat ... I got nothing.
Wasn't New Zealand offering free flights to people interested in working there?
There's a reason they refer to the agents that vacuum up DNA traces in Gattaca as 'Hoovers'.
You can add a MicroSD card. It makes sense for them to offer that, considering Samsung is a major manufacturer of MicroSD cards as well.

Joel Spolsky has provided some background on this.

I dunno -- how many people are so rich that it's not worth cashing the check, and yet aren't that happy?

What/who are the the other options? I don't have a really good idea of how this space's offerings breaks down along country lines.

Everyone will finally have to move to GNU, I guess.
Well, maybe not impossible, but probably undesirable.
Our loss of privacy was handed away gleefully, as if we were kids given candy.
Literally.
Are you kidding? "Sure, that'll be 75c."
