Many of the negative claims about Boeing come from representatives for families of crash victims and from former employees. They should not be taken at face value, because those people have an interest in presenting Boeing in the worst possible light.
Why does anyone still listen to these clowns?
I am so sick and tired of the privacy idiots. Wah! I looked for shoes and now they're showing me shoe ads! Wah!
I don't care about my data. I don't care if my phone knows where I've been and tells anyone who asks. I don't care if I search for a product and then see ads for it. I don't care who sees my posts on Facebook. I don't care what cookies are in my browser. I don't care what my Google Home device and Smart TVs see and hear. I don't use ad blockers. I don't have Javascript disabled. If a whole ecosystem of cyberbusinesses wants to swirl around me trying to figure out what I want so they can sell me stuff or grab my attention, good for them.
I am extremely glad for all the stuff I get for free from the internet. And it is free - just because my data is valuable in the aggregate to other people doesn't mean it's valuable to me, and I don't care that companies are getting that data and trying to use it for profit.
The only thing I get from privacy nerds is annoyed - stupid click-away notices about cookies on websites, moronic privacy policies, and idiotic pages and pages of HIPAA notices every time I see a new doctor. They have inserted valueless friction into systems that should operate smoothly and seamlessly.
...people complaining about how YouTube pulled the video of their children being adorable.
Art is work intended to interact with the aesthetic (non-utilitarian) sense of its audience. The "intended" part means that there has to be someone doing the "intending." As of now, that applies only to humans, so the work of AI becomes art only when some human presents it as such (which can be as simple as a person examining the output of a program and going "hey, look at that!")
Forgot to log in. That's my AC comment.
Art is work intended to interact with the aesthetic sense of its audience.
(Aesthetic sense is evaluation of a work other than for its utilitarian aspects.)
Didn't Dave Eggers describe this in his book The Circle? It's about a fictional Bay area tech giant everyone loves that uses social media to monitor and evaluate everyone, including prospective hires and current employees.
Those PUE numbers don't seem up to date. Yahoo gets 1.08 PUE with their "chicken coop" design at their Buffalo data center. Google has said they can get 1.08 as well. Yahoo's design has been around since 2010 and Google brought out their more efficient data centers shortly after that. I'd be surprised if more companies weren't following in those footsteps.
I don't understand what B&N is doing with their prices. I'm one of their members (pay $25 a year to get 10% off purchases, and an additional 5% off when using their credit card). They're not giving the 10% discount for digital objects, including eBooks, which means that as a mass-market paperback buyer, I would have to pay more for my eBooks than for my paper ones, and it makes my membership useless. Look, for example, at the novel Low Red Moon. B&N's member price for the paperback is $7.19 and the non-discounted price for the eBook is $7.99. Amazon, on the other hand, prices the paperback at $7.99 and the Kindle version at $6.39. So B&N is screwing the people that they have enlisted through their loyalty program. It makes no sense.
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells down by the seashore.
