Comment Re:No thanks (Score 1) 70

I think that's the point though. SpaceX has only managed to launch humans twice, and they have years of successful launches and landings. Blue Origin has no humans in space, but they do have a good record of a dozen or so development flights. They're literally years behind SpaceX. I think it's safe to say that Bezos is getting a tad ahead of himself offering to sell tickets, and it's likely more of a publicity stunt.

Comment Re:Gatekeeper (Score 4, Interesting) 33

Google just wants to be the only first-party that hits everything, making them a gatekeeper for 3rd parties that collect this data directly now. This is simply a business move, Google does not care about privacy.

This is similar to what Apple is doing on iOS: They are limiting the ability for 3rd parties to track users, BUT Apple is still quite able to track users even more effectively than anyone else ever was. It's no coincidence that Apple is also in the advertising game, and trying to play catch-up to Google. Of course Google is able to track anyone on Android as well as Apple can on iOS. I'm wary of both Google and Apple (and Microsoft too), but at least if these companies horde the tracking data, then it's not on the open market for anyone to use (until they get hacked and it's all exposed, that is).

Comment Re:I agree. (Score 5, Insightful) 307

I don't have a solid answer, however it seems to me the BLM protests were in response to what I think most people can agree is a recent rash of fatal shootings of unarmed black people by the police (and a long history of the same). The DC riot/whatever was in response to the president continuing to lie about winning the election, having it stolen from him, and encouraging his followers to "fight".
