Roku also has been fighting with Spectrum https://www.nexttv.com/news/charters-spectrum-tv-app-blackou...

Was there a re-colonization process? If so what kind/brand/bacteria types?

Fun fact: "off his rocker" appears three other times in this thread. It almost sounds like a talking point ..

I believe not everyone always checks the checksums.

"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence"

To distill the thought further: Rent seeking behavior in non-scaleable.

Believe or not we need to trust the integrity of our elected officials. That's the only way government works.

The opponents to your argument would state "one life is too many". The retort is then usually the Benjamin Franklin quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Finally it ends with 'do you trust current authority?' and depending upon the social circle you will get various answers.

Sadly this illustrates the current state of Robotics - HARD. This was 3 years with multiple people's lives. The industry as a whole needs to go down the same route as computers did which are common platforms that fit together that get the job done. Sadly there needs to be a behemoth in this space first(1960s IBM) that does all this work that society as a whole then can profit from(Facebook today)

Running on AWS and having control of the CI/CD pipeline are two different things. We don't expect Oracle to conduct espionage.

Only if there was some sort of cohort of people who would be able to judge actions to see if they are liable.

Perhaps we aren't scaling the judiciary system propley & allowed it to become overly complex so that only a certain subsect of the population can navigate it efficiently and an even smaller portion of that can litigate for others.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face: The voting process should not be a "trade secret"[1]

NJ also has had problems this year with their manual process. [2]

I honestly don't understand how everyone can feel so indifferent about this issue that is the cornerstone of America.

You are familiar with libraries and dependencies then. You know that its a very complicated mess of spaghetti. You also know that video editing is a very high use of a computer. Even for profit companies like Adobe has trouble with current hardware[1]

I get you wanted to write a blog article. Content creation is cool. I don't think you get where computers and technology has come from and necessary where its going. That Raspberry PI would be great for programming GPIO pins to literally do anything for you. This is my favorite explanation of technology[2] and honestly amazed that any of it works.

This is immensely interesting to me. This is a developer who is familiar with linux servers and infrastructure but in unaware of all the linux desktop oddities that come with it.

I've hired through UpWork.com

It's deeper than "Chat Security". There is current litigation against Zoom marketing of the misuse of 'end to end' encryption. This is the best way forward of claiming ineptitude and their path to rectify.

I will never endorse the "nostril camera" of XPS 9XXX series considering they have now released better.

The Surface Book 3 may give the XPS 7390 a run for the money for the high end enterprise users. My initial concerns will be heat, weight and build quality. XPS metal body feels great and is durable. I wonder how this will compare.

I wish it was that intelligent. Ad buyers are morons and companies like Criteo are snake oil salesmen.

Advertising, as a whole, is one of the most inefficient use of man-power capitalism has ever created. Intelligent people who have been failed for the US education system(chasing the goal of 'be whatever you want to be... but there is no sustainable way) usually end up there in some fashion.

This glut of capable but ineffectual intellectuals is either helping the ponzi fiat money scheme or if this virus is a 12 month affair with limited buying leads to mass civil unrest.

The demographics of the ad companies skew left... which is ok as long as we don't get into South American Currency Territory which i think the petro dollar should keep away for the time being.

Government was always supposed to be influenced 'by the people' those people are usually aristocrats. That is fine if there are enough of them with different ideas. What has happened is the consolidation of the artiscroacy and thus the means of influence of government. This is where we are getting our ugly problems from.

What is the first step to fixing this? Bring voting into the 21ST century AND NOT HAVE VOTING SOFTWARE BE CONSIDERED A TRADE SECRET[1].

Voting shouldn't be as onerous today and things like the Sun Light foundation[2] should be a household name.

We have all met jerks in our lives. People who lie,deciet, and cheat to get ahead. How is having the government covered in obscurity good for anyone?

This is incorrect. It still is encrypted in transit via TLS. There are encryption tunnels from point to point just not 'end to end'.

There is a feature for when doing webinars that can track focus:

Imperfect people creating imperfect systems to judge others that change the course of life with no means of appeals is specific type of hell.

It is interesting as he is quoted saying [1]

"“For instance, by selling the Thai baht short in January 1997, the Quantum Fund managed by my investment company sent a market signal that the baht may be overvalued. Had the authorities responded to the depletion of their reserves, the adjustment would have occurred sooner and been less painful. But the authorities allowed their reserves to run down; the break, when it came, was catastrophic.""

Vs. What Facebook said getting Rick Scott re-elected in 2011 [2]

"Facebook Ads provided us with unique targeting capabilities to look beyond broad demographics and specifically target messages in English and Spanish to specific groups of Cuban, Puerto Rican and other descent," he said, according to Facebook's page. "This allowed us to reach different sub-groups of Hispanic voters in ways that were simply not feasible on TV and radio."

How about we just agree that the human condition does not scale properly and will always lead to abuse?

Juno was a great model...

"Sorry my credit card machine isn't working" is usually the go-to line for on the spot pricing.

>"I'm more valuable than you because I know thing, so I want more resources for less effort"

Congratulations you just described capitalism.

Additionally there must be 'big fish' within their market. People who spend $1,000s on consuming viewing entertainment and would go whatever the 'preferred/legal' way to do it was.

Leaks have shown that with the 5 eyes 'one hand washes another' and probably spying on US citizens on behest of the US.

I have seen this now as a sales tactic, especially with EMC.
