This is dumb and obviously false. Even leaving aside the things others have pointed out, the whole point of investigations is to decide if someone should or should not be on trial.

Had you said something like, "Without a warrant, it is illegal for law enforcement to access your bank records" that sitll would have been wrong, but not as obviously idiotic as your actual statement.

Think harder.

> Homework drills lessons into you.

I never did a second of homework in school, and still aced every test. If you're a moderately smart kid, homework does nothing. School is based around the lowest common denominator, which is dumb kids. (College and grad school, otoh, were great learning experiences.)

This shouldn't be surprising if you've ever worked with Education majors at the university level. I did over a decade of research with people of all majors, and Ed. majors (including seniors!) were the only ones to proudly tell me they'd never written a paper or read a book in college. I'm not saying that all teachers are dumb, but the profession really attracts the bottom of the intellectual barrel, and the coursework is not rigorous.

When I was in 8th grade (ca. 1985) a kid in my class had internet at home. He sold downloaded essays for $5 a piece. He'd just bring a couple of stacks of printed papers to class and exchange the printouts for cash.

The teacher had no idea what the internet was, and never even noticed that multiple kids would turn in identical essays.

School really is a joke.

> But the costs of losing to Chinese companies will hurt us citizens too.

Funny, that's what some of us tried to argue in the '90s. China is an industrial superpower because the US -- under President Bill Clinton, and a Republican Congress joined by conservative Dems including Biden -- decided that outsourcing US jobs to China was a great idea. Those of us who fought against it were called anti-business socialist liars at the time.

Ten years after that we were called terrorist traitors for speaking out agains the Iraq War, which was also supported by a Republican Congress and joined by conservative Dems including Biden (and HR Clinton).

Being correct isn't that hard when the truth is so fucking obvious.

Ditto. No decent writer would put those words together.

And for those who don't understand writing and are happy with high-school-level journalism like /u/SirRockalotTDS: Part of proper stylistic writing is concision; the word "new" in the title is extraneous and, yes, redundant.

And if your headline is that poor, what kind of illiterate would continue reading? I guess we've found out!

When you beat out Zuck by a little bit, it's time to reevaluate. When you utterly destroy him in a worst-boss competition, it's time to just fucking give up.

Better headline: Corrupt politicians held up nation's first right-to-repair bill

Best headline, now that all the updates have been added: ARS writers don't know shit about New York laws, and this bill has already passed with or without the governor's signature.

> Why is everything about left and right?

Because our Republican politicians have no actual policies (seriously!), and they've learned that they can get votes from stupid people by just creating strawmen to attack. One of those strawmen is "whatever we're pretending libruls want."

This isn't just happening in 2022; the Republican 2020 platform was literally, "Whatever Trump wants!"

I know that a Republican would read what I just wrote as "See - they're against us!" I'm not. I have actual policies that I support, and long-term goals that I think the country should be striving towards. I believe it's pathetic that the US spends more per capita on education, health care, and criminal justice than our peer countries and get worse outcomes across the board. That makes me the enemy in their very small minds.

/lifelong conservative, but too educated to vote Republican

edit: I should add that I was just in the UK, and it was just as bad there. In fact, I saw tons of people on the news there blaming Biden for their economic woes. lol

Yes, that's why there no thread here for you to comment on, genius.

If you want to convince me of the value and future of a given technology, the absolute worst way to do it is by reading an article by a CEO.

Researchers, yes. Scientists, yes. Random programmers, sure.

CEOs, lol.

> Erol Toker is the founder and CEO of Truly, a hyperautomation platform built for revenue teams.

LOL!

No car should accept OTA updates, because no car should be linked that deeply to the internet without some sort of user intervention. It's a fucking security nightmare in waiting.

Jesus, what has /r/technology become?

/guy who knows stuff and actually works in tech

Telsa has 4 models; some of those others have dozens. Statistics, how to they work??

(Elon's still not going to fuck you.)

VR chat = Zoom but with cartoon avatars instead of actual people.

Nobody wants that.

Based on his complaints and suggestions (and the accompanying screenshots), it sounds like he's just re-building Vivaldi.

Why is The Verge publishing this?

There are 2 issues (that I know of) with medical devices: 1) Companies stop offering updates and/or parts for their devices, which basically bricks them, forcing hospitals to replace otherwise perfectly fine equipment, and 2) A lot of medical devices use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) which tends to have shitty, self-created security. But applying a patch that doesn't come from the original manufacturer is illegal.

You're right that "medical devices need some strict repair regulation." But the tech behind them currently doesn't have that regulation, making them needlessly dangerous if they can't be updated.

Here's some more info about the legislation that's tried to remedy the medical device fiasco:

> Restrictions on access to tools, parts, and information needed to service and repair medical devices were highlighted during the pandemic, as some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) were unable to offer parts or on-site support in a timely manner due to hospital restrictions, state or local guidelines or, in some cases, by the OEMs’ policy.

> He went straight to nicely looking designs with no regards to practicalities.

It was really clear that nobody at Apple at the time was doing any UX testing with real-world users.

I don't love all skeumorphic design, but having spent over a decade doing UX testing on various interfaces at a university, using gradients and other visual effects to mimic real-world elements can be vastly superior to flat design. This is especially true for new or non-savvy users (which includes a shitton of college students, despite many people believing otherwise).

I remember very clearly testing interfaces of various iPhone apps (and iOS, and even some MS products) after Ives made his "Skeumorphism is dead!" proclamation, and it was sad how users struggled with usability -- particularly of buttons -- because "I didn't know I could click there." Fortunately there was some backpedaling involved.

They're bitching because they have no revenue growth through adding subscribers, so they need to appease shareholders some other way.

It's a transparent money grab, but telcos have pockets deep enough to buy politicians (who don't know shit about the internet to begin with, and so will believe whatever they're paid to believe).

Meanwhile, my company just signed a multi-million dollar deal with AWS.

The retail business will go up and down with the economy, with down markets creating buying opportunities; the cloud services will grow steadily for a long, long time.

> we also just sort of neatly tucked it into a few big cities

Don't let Republican talking points fool you.

Here are the 10 states with the highest crime rates:

New Mexico - 6,462.03 per 100,000 people
Louisiana - 6,408.22 per 100,000 people
Colorado - 6,090.76 per 100,000 people
South Carolina - 5,972.84 per 100,000 people
Arkansas - 5,898.75 per 100,000 people
Oklahoma - 5,869.82 per 100,000 people
Washington - 5,758.57 per 100,000 people
Tennessee - 5,658.30 per 100,000 people
Oregon - 5,609.89 per 100,000 people
Missouri - 5,604.78 per 100,000 people

Yeah, many cities are getting worse. That doesn't change the fact that they're not all that dangerous compared to previous years, or that rural areas aren't seeing the same types of increases.

Supposition is superior to your made-up "gangs are stealing these bikes and reselling them!!!1!" bullshit.

Do you own a massive data center? If not, this has no application for you.

From point A to point B, in a lab under laboratory conditions. There's no need for storage or memory, because all that's being measured is data flow.

This is a very interesting experiment that could have implications for switches in massive data centers, but isn't all that useful for anyone here.

I'm sad that redditors in this sub seem to not understand even a little what this article is saying, given that what's being described (data transmission) is pretty basic technology. What's new is the technique and hardware.

False. The internet is way, WAY bigger than a petabyte. Orders of magnitute bigger. Hell, YouTube alone is bigger than a petabyte.

The chip transmitted the equivalent of one second's worth of all of the internet's traffic. These are totally different things.
