When they were selling out our country to the Russians privacy wasn't a big deal. Now, trying to tame foreign influence...oww, privacy!

The only reason nothing changes means money interests don't want it to change. So, which businesses or billionaires would care enough to oppose getting rid of it?

Looks like Reddit will do anything to protect T_D's little snowflake palace.

Even if part of the original assertion is an exaggeration, the point is correct.

Google says audio is "disassociated with user accounts", and that is a dodge meant to persuade users that the data is somehow then anonymous.

It is not, because "disassociated with an account" is a much weaker statement than one like "unable to be associated with an identity." And they cannot promise that.

Anonymized review is pure fiction, and Google's weasel words are evidence that they know that.

The dirtiest, most infected networks I ever worked on were in medical offices. Weak passwords, sometimes no passwords, ancient desktops that hadn't run updates in months. Pointing out the vulnerabilities was a waste of time. They didn't care and didn't want to be bothered.

Until companies start seeing big fines for being sloppy with data security, it's going to keep happening.

I'd pay SpaceX three times what I pay for internet, even if it didn't work as well, just because I hate Comcast.

I'll definitely be one of the early adopters. Xfinity and AT&T can eat my ass.

This shouldn't be a surprise. It's out in the middle of nowhere, weather is consistent, and traveling the same roads between transit points. This is, literally, self-driving t-ball.

Everyone thinks self-driving vehicles have to be better than humans in every circumstance that can arise on the road. The next surprise will be trucks making this trip remotely monitored rather than having a safety spotter in the cab. Or one spotter at the lead of a convoy.

This is really bad news for truck drivers.

The poll shows that consumers are willing to pay much more for their cable TV package than they are for streaming,

I take issue with the word "willing" in that sentence. Consumers don't have any real competition in that space. I'm willing to bet that if you gave people the option to get local channels over the air, there would be many more unwilling to pay for a cable TV package.

In 3...2...1.

Boeing spent the first couple days with zero orders for new planes at the Paris Air Show. Way to give customers even more reasons to doubt your commitment to safety.

I just don't get corporate thinking sometimes.

Sounds good but even a billion won't translate into much.

I actually kind of side with one point: You do have to be prepared for people and cars to do unexpected things. But the liability was a crock. A person doing something wacky shouldn't make you liable for damages.

Would be a tool to show when video has been edited and the speaker's words changed.

So imagine you have automated vehicles that take you to a location, you hop out, then it just drives down the block and picks up the next person and takes them where they're going.

Uber made the exact same argument. That it would eliminate cars on the road but none of the traffic promises held true. In fact, Uber increased traffic in congested areas.

It's goofy to think self-driving cars will do what Uber could not.

My fear with Netflix isn't Disney+, I can live without Disney content. What concerns me more is how much time I spend scrolling on Netflix, trying to find something decent to watch. They're spending billions on content, most of which is crap. Netflix has an interface that keeps throwing up things I've already seen in multiple categories. And there's no way to get rid of things I'm never going to watch. We've been loyal Netflix customers since before streaming was a thing. But if they don't get their shit together, we're going to bail. Or switch back to DVD only.
