They could have taken an alternative approach, where purchases are 'added to your library'. At which point you stop downloading a new copy from the store, but are syncing your file from your cloud storage. I think this is the approach Amazon takes, at least for eBooks.

Why would the inventor of the self driving car allow Uber to use their cars? The inventor of the self driving car will be running the profitable fleet and taxi services themselves and taking the profit themselves. And the software licensing can easily block competitors, unless they pay a premium to use the commercial version. The cost will be what the market can bare, which will be a lot. This is why lots of people are trying to invent the self driving car, rather than waiting for someone else to do it and license it to them.

Are you saying HIBP is not GDPR compliant, and refuses to remove your personally identifiable information from its database?

Its a bad price if you listen to music less than the average subscriber, or listen to cheaper music. Half the subscribers are subsidizing the other half.

Or do unlimited subscriptions cause some weird economics and it ends up cheaper for a large majority of subscribers?

Under Ubuntu 16.04++, and other systems supporting contained snaps:

sudo snap install chromium
sudo snap disconnect chromium:home core:home
sudo snap disconnect chromium:camera core:camera

First installs chromium, fully contained, as /snap/bin/chromium. Second removes its access to your home directory. Third the camera. Stick a copy of ~/.mozilla in ~/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla to get everything migrated. Enjoy your sandboxed chromium.

To break the constitution, it needs to be your data. It isn't your data. It is someone else's data about you. The only thing protecting you is your right to privacy, which you don't seem to have any more. Well, I imagine 'public figures' will be exempt 'in the interest of national security' despite the fact that their browsing history will be more valuable than the bulk data on the masses.

The theory is to monetize the data they collect from operating the messaging platform. While this data has value, this article is pointing out that it is crap data and has little value. Maybe even at '$10 a share', it is enough to operate or maybe it will go under.

I was kind of hoping that WhatsApp's $1 a year business model would work out, but alas we seem to be stuck with the major messaging platforms all operated by people who only see the value in spying on their users. Maybe one of the minor players with a different model will get noticed if enough of the major ones fail.

Next step? There are already Ubuntu Certified Public Clouds:

http://partners.ubuntu.com/pro... (marketing)
http://partners.ubuntu.com/fin... (full list)

tldr; pretty much every public cloud, and all the major ones.

Maybe it will benefit both the US and China?

Maybe benefiting China is a good thing?

You made a lot of assumptions reading between the lines of a single line post.

He is talking to the plural 'your'. A lot of PCs most certainly can be replaced by phones. A lot of PCs have already been replaced by phones for that matter.

I think that the driver moving away from the wheel while transport officials watched and not getting arrested is a pretty big deal. It might not be a technical hurdle they overcome, but is it a milestone on the legislative and psychological side. We have years worth of these 'publicity stunts' that need to happen before the general public lets autonomous vehicles on the road without supervision.

Its going to be just like the aviation or space industry, where no politician wants to have their name associated with the headlines about the first fatality. A majority of politicians need to believe there is 0% chance of it affecting their re-election, which isn't going to happen so it needs to be buried in committees and red tape.

Its happening now, although people are focused on containers rather than VMs (since you need really high density).

Snappy from Canonical (http://snapcraft.io) is a packaging format that does this today, supporting several Linux flavours and the embedded space.

Yes, security holes in WordPress, Magento, Jetspeed, Exarid, AirOS get the malware onto the system. But the malware is for Linux, and the subject and summary valid.
