and (might be a shock to some) not batting 1000 still gets shit done

wouldn't it be great to be able to get some land, build a "starter house", make some kids, build a new bigger one with more bedrooms, kick kids out to college, demo and build a smaller house better suited for retirement..

if you like your neighborhood you can keep it :)

busy making dire predictions about tesla

> Instead of letting us build a profile of our own

unfortunately thats simply not possible. what we want vs what we think we want are very different things.

on some level its always going to be about observation (well, spying).

best we can (and should) expect is transparency and a degree of control of our own profile.

its a brave new world folks.

name is fine. wont take too long before autopilot does exactly what name implies.

however. we can't count on marketing to deliver information.

time to start including basic autopilot skills in the driver ed & license exam.

it was actually more than ten years, von braun was blowing up V2s long before he started working on apollo.

whatever. nit pick if you want.

bottom line uber guy did the right thing, namely he didn't look the other way.

lets assume you're right.

what is the difference then between what the russians (allegedly) have done vs what a whistle blower or a real journalist might have done to expose conspiracy to deny Sanders a nomination?

should we say "thank you russia" and move on?

> 2) Retaliation is a good course of action because as technological solutions are developed, more holes will be found.

retaliation is fine, as long as its not the only course of action. to claim "i talked to putin and hacking stopped" is wrong in so many ways i dont know where to start.

> 3) Don't like it? Don't be a member of the party

now that people know about it, sure, that becomes an option.

whooosh!..

1) it doesn't matter who's the hacker, if our infrastructure is vulnerable, its vulnerable to anyone. lets worry about fixing that first.

2) fine, retaliate. why is this news? hacking happens every day. remember stuxnet? solution to hacking is better technology NOT better lawyering.

3) nice job wagging-the-dog your way out of actually dealing with the contents of hillary emails. real threat is what happened with Sanders (i'm not his supporter _at all_). it was a scandalous perversion of democracy. Putin (if it was him) did us a great service. i mean us the people, not necessarily certain people in power.

disclaimer: i don't exactly have a dog in the fight, i'm a mac/unix guy. but i do (to the extent that i do) follow the moves Nadella makes and i like it.

this is the right move. it is insanity in this day and age to have to support multiple substantially different versions of an operating system for general population. its unjustifiably expensive and unsustainable.

bottom line, if you feel like whining, i have a piece of advice for you, get over it. either move to unix or upgrade to win10. those are your two choices.

..and there's a place in the free market place for icahns.

the talk covers it in the first 3 minutes and then goes on to things that are just as fascinating, but i won't spoil that for you :-)
