Which giant corporation is trying to popularize the daily use of these other cameras?

Amazon isn't in a position to build a law enforcement portal to this service. Google now is.

Are you suggesting that advertising never influences people to make choices that are not in their best interests?
785.
by gress 12y ago
Advertising is a service designed to help corporations exploit psychology to induce people to buy their products. What you are describing is more like a concierge. Hint: The person who pays is the person who's interests are being se

Most customers have a better experience because it is walled. Those who care, should indeed not buy Apple products.

Your argument seems to be that this makes it harder to engineer the browser, and yet you don't explain that at all. You simply assert that it would be easier for Mozilla if they split it into a separate piece of software. I see no spec

This isn't about providing superior services - it's about consolidating the flow of information.

It's true that most people use browsers as opposed to working with them for development. The question is, do you want this state of affairs to be built into the design of our systems, or do you think that it would be good if, over time

I strongly disagree. Just because economics have temporarily separated the means of creation from the means of consumption in some domains, there is no reason that they should not be recombined now that it can be done freely. Why shouldn&#

I'm not suggesting that the cause is unimportant, but maybe the increased respectability has nothing to do with MIRI, and more to do with the increased obviousness in the public sphere of both rapid technological advancement, and incre

Do you only work on projects that are 100% open source?

Or providing video to law enforcement on demand.

Google has demonstrated zero hesitation about changing privacy policies when it suits them.
795.
by gress 12y ago
Yup, the want to avoid the headline: "Google buys network of in-home cameras."

Have you read anything he has written about the actual theory?

I have actually been in this precise position with this precise linguistic choice. I am not speaking hypothetically, I am asking about how someone else would feel and respond in a situation I have experienced directly. Can you explain how m

Basically she is responding to a straw man - 'disruption' as represented by people who are using it to bless their own plans with an aura of power and inevitability, rather than people who are carefully analyzing a business contex

The better way would have been for the open source community to advance the Linux desktop in the way that OSX has been evolved - i.e. To gradually bring the advantages of the web back to the OS.

I stand corrected. This is a design-time tool. I mistook it for the consumer feature of the same name.
801.
by gress 12y ago
Nope. This is a chrome feature that just happens to have the same name as that site. There is no connection.

Looks like browsersync is a Chrome only proprietary feature.

Have you considered that there is more than one way of one way of making true statements, especially those based on metaphor? Truth an logic are only one dimension of communication. Why would you choose a more offensive way of saying somet

You: "I am more interested in the psychological damage that is done to people by fundamentalist religion and the negative impact it has on their lives."

If you had an African American on your team, and someone asked you to change the terminology because they could see it was causing discomfort, would you feel content to give this reply?

That would produce a custom language not understood by other Go users and destroy much of the benefit of the compiler reporting errors straightforwardly.

Atheists do not believe in god. Anti-religionists do not believe in god, and wish to attack ideas connected with religion whether they have anything to do with believing in god or not. Anti-religionists are therefore willing to dismiss ide

You are painting everything connected with religion as if it is fundamentalism.
809.
by gress 12y ago
You are more than an atheist. You are an anti-religionist, regardless of the content of the religion.

"The only proof I need is the proof of my own life experiences" So basically you are a fundamentalist who is not interested in evidence.
