Okay... and your point? We're not talking about any industries where data-sovereignty is a concern. The article is about private U.S. tech companies outsourcing their support to overseas companies to save money (like it says in sentence one of TFS), then being surprised when those outsourcers have less-than-honest employees. They're on the other side of the world from their clients, it's much less risk for them to not follow data security requirements.
Have higher standards in hiring/outsourcing, and be willing to pay for those types of employees. When you're paying the same as the local McDonald's don't be surprised when you get fuckheads for applicants.
That's horrific. Imagine if people had access to pornography on their phone.
Yes, it might drive demand for larger and larger screened phones, just like what made the iPhone, and all the profits Apple made from it, possible.
For some reason, they think they're all suckers for a scam.
They get people to pay $200 for an additional 8 GB of RAM in their laptops.
Seems they already have verified their users will fall for a scam.

Let the celebration begin! We have again sent six mega-rich people not-quite to space, so they can gawk at the Earth for a few minutes before coming back down, having accomplished nothing but causing additional air pollution and creating something for them to talk about on their social media feeds like they have had a religious experience, but will not influence their behavior or actions in ways that benefit people in all walks of life the way actual saints have.
And by the way, it's not the streaming devices enabling the yo ho ho. By the time they see a stream it has already been stripped of it's DRM and looks just like any other stream.
No, that's the point (to them). The hardware is too open. They want devices that will only play DRM'd content signed by the special services. Just like a cable TV receiver is generally worthless to a normal person without a cable TV subscription.
The books were finished by Brandon Sanderson on volume 14, and if I do say so his contribution was actually a big positive. The pace was lethargic and full of detours into Aes Sedai politics in the last few volumes by Jordan. Sanderson brought the main story back into focus and got the ball rolling on the Last Battle.
The TV series meddled too much with the main characters to fit the spirit of the books beginnings, and the casting choices we detrimental to the setting of the story.
As poor an adaptation of Jordan (and Sanderson)'s books this was, I still found it very entertaining. Was looking forward to the next season for it.
Building a nuclear reactor takes so long simply from a construction standpoint Trump will be out of office and we can reverse all this before the U.S. has its own Chernobyl.

(I don't care that he's not with Apple anymore, it sounds like the same level of effort. Might as well be a Humane Pin on a string.
Buying an existing ISP vs. building new infrastructure has always been cheaper, going back 20 years. It's one if the reasons you rarely saw competition in broadband markets even if another company wasn't being cock-blocked by an exclusive franchising rights agreement. Stringing lines, digging ditches, getting rights to use existing utility towers, all of it became more complicated and expensive over the last 50 years.
Funny you mention Rakuten Viki, because that's not a streaming service.
Yeah, it is. Viki operates as a stand-alone service in the U.S. and Canada.
Rakuten TV, with multiple channels including Viki, only operates in Europe.
GamersNexus brought this up in their video (the one linked in the summary here) and from their own contacts say the decisions are coming from higher up, and when they try to get info on it NVidia tries to have a lower level/PR/marketting person handle answering any questions, essentially leaving the upper management a way to escape any responsibility by not being on record.
Demonizing a hypothetical "cockamamie fascist wannabe middle manager" is dancing to NVidia upper-management's tune.
Hey Apple, how about you get the basic "AI" thing actually working properly on your preexisting devices before you worry about new hardware products? Wont you be embarrassed if you release a new AI-reliant product and then the "AI" part is a miserable failure.
Might not be able to escape a class-action lawsuit if something like that happens. At least the iPhone is still a phone, music player, camera, PDA and internet device without working AI.
