Once this mostly cools off, we will find that some huge percentage of the world's population already had the virus and had no or few symptoms.
Wow. I am really curious about your definition of huge. Statistically, the massive infection rates and transmission vectors themselves indicate there is nothing that even comes close to widespread immunity and that is using a generous definition of widespread.
It would not be a shock to me if they magically find more justification for their own programs to keep accessing the data any way they see fit compared to a third party.
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it." ~ John F. Kennedy
Exactly why do you think he was assassinated? Clearly, he was opposed to the evil and corrupt entrenched upper class economic slave state.
Wow. You do realize his family was the equivalent of multibillionaires in today's money, right? Talk about privilege.
Oh, I know. Somehow they magically made all of their money not by stepping on the backs of the working class.
How does rambling bleating like this make it on to Slashdot?
Wow, it comes as no surprise that after reading the first paragraph I then noticed this article came from the New Yorker.
Obvious answer: you will shop at either Amazon or Walmart.
"By moving to its own OS, Facebook could have more freedom to bake social interaction -- and hopefully privacy -- deeper into its devices."
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Stop, stop, you are killing me..........
I have a question about this sleeping bag thing. On the pictures I saw, there is no wire to connect it to ground which means it cannot act as a Faraday cage. Do they artistically not show the wire in the online photos of the product because it would be distracting (like toaster do not show their power cord in product photos) or could someone out there in the world be dumb enough to think that a Faraday cage can work detached from ground?
So, will the politicians again magically exempt themselves or will this time we finally have absolutely no robocalls?
No, that was spun off into its own separate company named Agilent. The peripherals from the previous post probably refer to the printer (inkjet and laser) business that they still have a hand in.
"It felt as though the value proposition that has made Apple products no-brainers might unravel."
In what universe of delusion has Apple ever been a value proposition???????
It could also be argued that the internet changed the relationship because stealing/copying/sharing/whatever became trivial worldwide instead of exchanging physical media with your local buddies like the olden days.
Look at both sides of the internet changing the dynamic.
"Chinese law forbids non-Chinese companies from owning or operating certain technology for the provision of cloud services."
Gee, I wonder why?
The government thought process is obvious: We have done it to everyone else so we know it can be done. Therefore we are going to make a law so nobody can do it to us.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
