If you are right then the title should really be "Ask Slashdot: What Portion of Hiring Managers Are Bad At What They Do?"

TFA explains that it's both:

You are right, the "deep web" is not the same thing as the/a "darknet" or "dark web". They don't do a good job of keeping that clear in the headline. From TFA's own citation on wikipedia:

However the article does assert that this Memex project is indexing both unpublicized content on the general internet (the deep part) plus anonymized content on Tor and other privacy services (the dark part).

That all depends on the kind of leadership required of the role. If you are going to be an architect and guiding implementations of public key encryption platforms, you will need a deeper understanding than what a google search will turn up because making something out of shitty advice on the internet will probably turn out pretty shitty (and you won't know the look of shitty advice when you see it). If you just need to be familiar with the concept while you work on something else, then sure "LMGTFY" will pass.

Then just shop for those features and focus on making sure the panel supports CEC on/off/input-grab and you can throw away the TVs remote and forget about the "smart" features entirely after you have all your fancy stuff hooked up. If the smart wifi module breaks and you arent using it, who cares?

Presumably by leaving it unconfigured or intentionally misconfigured, you could trick it into not being very "smart" at all. I would only consider smart TVs with mandatory connectivity (of which I don't know of any) as really falling outside the acceptable criteria here. If you dont like the "smart" features don't freaking use them. Rip the button off the remote and cover it with a bit of black electrical tape. Whatever floats your boat. However, the features come from a $10 ARM SoC which every vendor is building in nowadays since it really doesn't increase their cost much. In fact, as the question suggests, making special TVs without these features is now more expensive since more people want them than don't.

The nice thing about Tourism as an industry is that scale only relates to demand (see winter vs summer demand in Florida as an example of how this already works). Too many tourists? Double the room rates. Double the restaurant prices. Double the airfare. No, triple it! A new horde of US tourists surging demand in Cuba will just drive up prices. Even crappy hotels have no problem accommodating for supply vs demand by racing up the price curve.

The recording is strictly related to the ability of the TV to respond to voice commands like "lower volume" or "change to DIY channel", since the audio processing is done in the cloud they have to ship out the audio over the internet. They are including this legalese as a way to disclose possible wiretapping/eavesdropping since there is a real good chance that they will occasionally end up with recordings of third party conversations on their servers.

Even better, if you spend enough on the Kickstarter you can get your name on the drone that will crash land in N Korea after running out of batteries and be broadcast on State TV as a trophy of the regime.

That "study" makes two very dangerous assertions: 1) all of the victims of hitchhiking are found dead/raped along the highway (as opposed to in a park, someones back yard, a dumpster, etc) and 2, all of the people in the US count as the population sample (this is the craziest one). Since not everyone who dies or is assaulted while hitchhiking can be associated, and we don't have any good way to even peg how many people might hitchhike in any given year, there is no real way to tell.

Something like Boxcryptor, perhaps? Although it only works with consumer grade cloud storage it sounds like what you want. Although it is $48/year on its own (if you want to do fancy stuff like manage multiple cloud accounts or encrypt filenames before storing them) so the costs of the belt to go with the suspenders can add up.

OK fine. This is not the clickbait you're looking for...

Except, it's not as if you are stepping into traffic and jumping on the first passing car. By hitchhiking, you are indeed waiting for just *that* kind of person who wants to stop and let a stranger into their car.

you mean you dont have `alias rm="rm -rf"` in your bash.rc file? Pansy.

Ahem, no, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The name doesn't get at the parts of concern here, which are a number of privacy and confidentiality measures in Title II of the act, which sets guidelines on info systems that contain personal and/or medical data.
