Submission + - Yahoo Mail Has New Privacy and Terms

DigitalLogic writes: Yahoo is now part of Oath and there is a new Privacy and Terms contract that states they can collect and own your data in your emails. They also can share this data with other entities, specifically Verizon. You also agree to arbitration instead of other legal means. So much for never losing a yahoo email address. It pops up when you log onto Yahoo, there is no specific link.

Google Pulls the Plug On Its Pixel Laptops (engadget.com) 44

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Engadget: Although its new flagship phones have been doing brisk sales, Google's high-end, $1,299 Pixel-branded Chromebooks won't be seeing much love from the search giant in the near future. According to TechCrunch, reporting from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, Google's SVP of hardware Rick Osterloh has announced the second version of the Pixel laptop will be the last of its kind. As TechCrunch notes, Google is trimming down the Pixel line to just the smartphones and the Pixel C tablet for now. Although there may be other devices carrying the name in the future, Osterloh said it was unlikely that its own laptops would be one of them.

Comment Can Program (Score 1) 948

I had the opposite happen to me. I have been programming for years, but couldn't get a job because I did not have a degree. I got that degree, went in for an interfivew, got the job, but before they would hire me; they wanted their top programmer to interview me. He asked me questions that was clear to me he did not understand programming. Then he said I was pulling it at of my a**. I said "What!?" And ye said "Yeah, you are pulling it out of your a**." WoW! Lost that job and was downtrodden. Wound up wokring at a University for half what I used to make. They get a great deal and I am supposedly building up experience. I think the biggest problem is that no one understands the "programming"problem in the first place. People who say they are experts don't know everything and those coming in just need the experience; we all know that.
