Everybody wants a way to commute from your home to your office easier and with less environmental impact - but why commute at all? For most office workers, the work can come to you by telecommuting. Work at home, virtually. Get rid of offices, and convert them to apartments. Really high-speed internet will allow 75% of all office work to be done remotely.
Construction work and medical care may be the only major industries immune from telecommuting.
The "child" is accused of armed robbery. ARMED ROBBERY. He should be thankful that another gang member or the cops didn't shoot him while he was attempting to escape. I agree that wearing an ankle monitor is inappropriate; he ought to be in jail.
If Google were buying up existing cables, I would be worried. But Google laying NEW submarine cables can only be for the good, because there aren't enough.
And some redundancy in cables is DEFINITELY a good thing.
Crashes of freight carrying aircraft are often caused when something in the cargo bay becomes "adrift" and isn't strapped down properly. My first impression was that this crash happened when part of the load came free and slid forward, causing the plane to become dangerously unbalanced and nose-heavy.
Any 50 people taken at random from American telephone directories could to a better job than any 50 politicians.
Libertarian candidate for President in, I believe, 1984, Andre Marrou, once stated that the word "politics" came from two Greek root words. "Poly", meaning many, and "ticks", blood sucking parasites. (I'm sure he was neither the first person to say that, but the first I remember hearing it.)
Two, perhaps 3 nuclear power plants should be able to replace their coal fired plants. Coal and oil are going to be too valuable as feedstocks for chemical processes to just burn the stuff.
The "S" in "IoT" stands for "Security". As in, there ain't none.
Yes, having a default password already applied to all IoT devices would be a great idea, as long as the instructions on "HOW TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT PASSWORD" was printed in at least 24-point type. For appliances, the instructions should be printed on a sticker (same typeface) across the front of the device.
Beyond that.... the users need to be afraid of IoT devices and be concerned that they could he hacked. Because they all will be.
There are houses in Colorado - all through the West, actually - that are radioactive, because they were built with concrete from gravel that contains low-level radioactive ores. That's why radon is such a problem; the radioactive gravel (with slight traces of thorium, probably) which decays, with radon as one of the decay stages. And since it's a heavy gas, it settles in basements.
LONG term exposure can cause cancers, but in much of the West, the ground itself is radioactive. And always has been.
In 15 years or less, the "European Union" will be a country, and France/Germany/Spain et al will be "states" within the EU, with less real power than the separate States in the United States have. Brussels will have more power in Europe than Washington has in North America. Former Stazi officer Frau Merkel will try to re-create the USSR in western Europe as Putin is trying to recreate the USSR in eastern Europe and Asia.
That's why Brexit is important; England doesn't really want to lose whatever independence it still has.
That, and Duffleblog, the military equvalent of the Onion. The problem with Duffleblog is that people these days know so little about the military that even some of the most outlandish stories look like they COULD be true.

He's awaiting trial for ARMED ROBBERY. He OUGHT to be in JAIL.

The last Republican mayor of Chicago was elected 90 years ago. There are more Socialists than Republicans in the city council.
Of course it is. If the primary cable is damaged, telcos or the government will be able to lease bandwidth on Google's cables.
If Google were buying up existing cables, I would be worried. But Google laying NEW submarine cables can only be for the good, because there aren't enough.

It'll never grow; dental floss is a TROPICAL crop.
What was Google +? It was like Fakebook, except NOT from FakeBook.
I tried to export my Google+ data. The only thing was, after all that time, I didn't have any.

Devolve the power to the individuals. People can generally run their own lives better than anybody else can.
When there's less concentrated power for politicians to abuse, fewer people will go into politics.
Fear? Fear of YOU.

I'm generally a Libertarian, but the FDIC is generally an example of "GOOD Government Action".
It seems that the primary function of cryto-currencies is to make bank robberies easier to do and more difficult to trace.
What's the big deal? Waze already gives those warnings in the USA; is it the "in Canada" part that''s special?
Radon is only a problem where there is little airflow. Basements, primarily.

If Google makes a change like this, then most Chromium-based web browsers will either switch to some other basic engine, or would disappear.
This would be the highest-ever rated special on Pay-Per-View.
The only poll that mattered was on election day in 2016. As a former president once said, "Elections have consequences. And I won."
For bills of this type, the Dems are threatening a filibuster; so a 60-vote supermajority is needed. McConnell doesn't have it.
Which is quite aside from the point that McConnell and the RINOs don't WANT to stifle the supply of cheap immigrant labor.
