Noone's going to wear those goofy looking things, except in a workplace where they are AR equipment (e.g. to identify parts in a warehouse, or a server room).

The main use-case I have for AR would be _discrete_ integration into my (prescription) spectacles, to aid with personal navigation, a to-do list, integrate my smart phone's notifications, or identifying people's faces and floating a name above their heads. But these aren't it.

Not sure how a prenup is relevant given that she married Bezos in 1993 and Amazon didn't exist until 1994.

I did watch the entire season, I think Jodie Whitaker is a fantastic Doctor but wish the show had better/more consistent writers supporting her. I didn't care for the historical events episodes at all, too much Quantum Leap and not enough science fiction. BUT there were a few really great, what I consider true Doctor Who episodes like The Ghost Monmument, The Tsuranga Conundrum, Kerblam! and It Takes You Away.

They also make money from businesses that use G Suite.
And consumers that pay for extra online storage on Google drive (I do).
And Google Fi, their wireless cell service (I use this, too, sooo much better and cheaper than verizon).
And Google Fiber, their internet service (I don't use this but would if it was offered in my area).
I also use Google domains and pay for registration through them and Virus Total which Alphabet owns and is an invaluable free service.

So yeah, they sell ads, but they are not wholly dependent on clickbait revenue the way Facebook is.

...a reputable auditor verifies the source of data and process, reviewing evidence directly from the systems involved. This is standard for anything, it's why we have CPAs to ensure companies aren't cheating investors. If it's really true, then a third-party should be able to verify the results.

But it doesn't matter because Facebook obviously isn't interested in stopping any clickbait like fake news since they depend on the revenue it provides. If they were, they would simply create a whitelist of all reputable news sources which all share the same traits regardless of bias accusations: they have qualified editors and journalists (no, random bloggers who copy/paste/scrape news from the AP wire are not editors or journalists), do fact-checking and verify sources per journalism best practices, publish retractions/corrections as needed, and mark opinion pieces clearly as such. They can come up with whatever criteria they want to make the bar high enough to filter out the clickbait crap. It's really not that hard.

On a side note, I don't know why anyone believes anything that has more likes or followers (aka whenever something "goes viral") has more value since it's highly likely it's all being manipulated by paid spambots.

But how many of those users are just spam or fake bot accounts? Seems like once Facebook buys a company they essentially become yet another spam machine of whatever nonsense generates CTR (that's at best, at worst they help distribute malicious payloads).

"Dovetale said that, on average, 16.4 percent of the followers on Instagram’s top 20 accounts were fraudulent.

Sylo, which requires influencers to share access to their public and private post statistics, said it had rejected 77 percent of influencers who have tried to register on its platform after their accounts showed issues like abnormal spikes in engagement on posts or a large number of generic, emoji-laden comments that bots are known for."

...someone to say in order to protect its existence. ;)

Once I saw that the latest version is iLO 5, I figured it had to be vulnerable to the same exploit as iLO 4 and sure enough:

"A security vulnerability in HPE Integrated Lights-Out 4, 5 (iLO 4 prior to v2.60, and iLO 5 prior to v1.30) could be remotely or locally exploited by an Administrative user to allow remote or local code execution."

Clearly, you don't know what it's like to have someone spam/harass you online with insults and threats because you had the audacity to determine you didn't want to be in a relationship with them anymore. I witnessed it happen firsthand to a close friend of mine, They had to block their ex online, change their cell phone number and file a restraining order.

Many of the engineers agree with certain aspects of the original memo while respectfully debunking the logical fallacies it presented.

Enjoy.

And here I thought posting as an Anonymous Coward was the definition of trolling. :p

I think kids need to feel comfortable experimenting with computers, that means being ok with messing it up.

So if schools were to teach how to set up and roll their computer system back to a restore point (I don't care which OS), that would be a good start.

Then again, I use a Chromebook, I do system restores periodically just for fun.

....the person who is on-call because something will go wrong and they won't RTFM (that I wrote) that explains how to fix it and ask me to login to take care of it.

So I'll be sure NOT to have my work phone on me NYE.

I call BS. As someone who does work in IT in the financial services industry, no programmer is interviewed, given a tour and then offered a job.

Regulations require a background check which takes several days so no offer is made until that clears.

And they certainly aren't going to show a non-employee the database in which they store customer data, that's restricted data.
