Picture a ball at the top of a hill about to roll off... IT's much easier to stop it before it heads down the hill. So: There is an inflection point where the societal cost to mitigate begins to accelearte beyond our ability to pay, and we are crossing that inflection point now. Thus, it is incorrect to suggest that the mitigation window will always be open.

Developed western countries have had decades of growth without this concern. Now developing countries need to get kneecapped right as they ramp up, since they are the fastest growing contributors to global warming. What a horrible dilemma.

Complete morons. NSA knows better, congress does not. Any backdoor is exploitable by anyone. NO backdoor is secure. Win for gov control, LOSS for public and humanity.

WFH is fantastic for people with kids, people who want to work hard, people who want more time to exercise, who want to drive less, on and on... Only poorly managed companies can't deal. Get better management if you think wfh isn't better. Yes.. I'm a manager.

When will Congress grow a pair??? Amazon is blatently engaged in cross subsidation which falls under restraint of trade, which is a law under USC Title 15 that makes it illegal. WTF Congress? When will this circus of blatant illegal activity end??

Net neutrality is not just about traffic prioritization... It's about ensuring we have secure communications and access to all forms of information uncensored, including information that is critical of the Telco and the government. As example: Before next neutrality any VPN connection to your home was blocked outright. Or, the Telco can choose to block any news source it doesn't like, or blog unfavorable to them. They can do this because telcos are essentially monopolies, as few people have a choice. The privilege of Monopoly must come with a condition, and that condition is net neutrality.

Read USC title 15... And then look at Amazon's business and tell me how they have been allowed to get away with it for so long. It's incredible. this is a branch of law completely and brazenly disregarded, and gov has allowed it to happen for decades.

Google is an awful product now.... I've been using DuckDuckgo for years and can't believe people are still actually using Google, KNOWING why they eliminated their "do no harm" motto and have since made a fortune using YOUR data. Disclaimer: i have absolutely no relationship to DDG. Just a very happy user.

Here is the modern cio playbook: Assess cost of in house and cost to migrate Sell to CEO as huge cost savings Migrate, then eliminate staff and imfrastructure Update resume Move to next job before reality hits You will show huge savings on your resume and no downside as long as you get out before tshtf

The real problem here is letting you plebs have access to the technology. Same reason people went to jail in the college admission scandals.... Commoners should not have the same privileges that others have, and u certainly don't want common folk using this to identify anyone they see.

Cortana is not worth the loss of privacy and should be disabled by every consumer. It is an awful product. It's more acceptable for Corp users because most users have little expectation of privacy on a corp-owned asset. I'm surprised M$ took this long to figure this out.

This article is total JUNK without the details of the test setup. Were all the recipient inboxes empty? what messages were used? what time were the emails sent and from what accounts? Anyone worth their salt that does BASIC research knows this. By basic I mean entry-level experiment design 101.

This is NOT a coding bug people.... it's a deliberate feature to prevent asset shrnk. The risk of someone being ouside of cell range and being stranded was carefully considered against asset shrink and guesswhat.... the dumbasses who rent from this fraud lost and the bankers won.

Incidentally, guess who gets sued if the self driving stuff makes a mistake and kills a child on a bike to avoid a guard rail...YOU the driver. LOLread your Tesla contract folks.

By 'powerful computer' they simply mean 'more powerful than typical in supply chain' and by 'we can't do it' they mean 'we don't need to do it yet'. This article is devoid of any factual references or relevant context, so it's just bs. There is no need to over spec the computer because the benefit is only marginal. Today u can get lane awareness, collision avoidance in a non-tesla that is super effective on a tiny CPU. Subaru already makes it standard. That is the next goalpost other mfg need to hit. The self-driving bs is over a decade from now and needs to survive 1000 lawsuits before anyone should consider it. Even then...it's a death sentence for privacy, so be very leery of this crap.
