They spend hundreds of millions on the UEI special forces that are somehow not considered military even though they are structured like a military. This is basically their defense from Nicaragua and narcos which is really all they have to w

And the air still smells like car exhaust in pretty much every city. I've been there many times and was actually there earlier this week. I've been all over the western half of the country. They have an insane tax on cars - I thin

This keyboard has been a disaster for a few years. If it’s true that Ive was the one pushing it then it would be ignorant to think that this failure hasn’t had an impact on his standing within the company. This is a massive failure. We are

Can there be any doubt this is what precipitated Ive’s departure? This keyboard is a disaster. They ended up replacing the entire inside of my laptop when my space bar broke. Then I had the logic board replaced again a few months ago after

I believe they are far ahead. Not quite ready to believe city self driving will be ready this year. I drive a Tesla and recently rode in a self driving Lyft. They are similar. The human driver frequently disengaged self driving and drove ma

Just some fool who paid like $1500 to post articles on Forbes.com. Another contributor article masquerading as news.

Choose to do the bare minimum because we change the system to make it comfortable enough? That’s a good idea. I’m not necessarily against raising minimum wage. It should probably be reviewed and adjusted more often than it is. But wouldn’t

Wow, SmartCar's pricing is insane. They have a free tier and that's nice, but a paid plan with support starts at $0.15 per request. And all this thing does is lock/unlock, location, odometer and vehicle info. Why would anyone

I'm not following this logic. They can't quit a job that pays double minimum wage unless minimum wage is increased to the amount they are currently getting paid? If minimum wage was $15 there would be some other crummy employer pa

I thought it looked neat and wanted to try it. Click the sign up button and it asks me to log in with Google. No other options. The easiest way to get me to ditch a product is to use Google or Facebook for authentication. Right off the bat,

It’s just a random guy with a blog. This isn’t Forbes reporting. It’s a contributor site. You pay to become a contributor and you can post whatever you want. There’s no fact checking here. No investigative reporting. This is literally just

I think, with regards to Google, it's all about their business model. Allowing a company to collect data for the sole purpose of personalizing the products you bought from them and recommending content is not an unreasonable choice. Go

You’re right about non-techies switching from Android. They don’t like trying to switch. Many of them like the products. Many of them don’t care that Google is in the business of sucking up data because they place more value on the fact tha

I dislike Google the company as well as their products. If someone wants to break them up then you’ll find me smirking on the sidelines when it happens. But how do you talk about breaking up Google without addressing Amazon, Apple, Microsof

The people who work at Google who wanted to stage a walkout are free to leave for another job. They are free to start their own companies. We are free to use other products or create our own. How is legislation the best solution here? Peopl

Public accountability is a slippery slope. How do you accomplish that? Legislation? New legislation pitched as a solution to a problem tends to be a rat's nest of rules that no one understands, that doesn't often have the intended

Fastmail also lets you use aliases to protect your main address. I only give out an alias with an alt domain - something like spam@jm4.eml.cc, linkedin@jm4.eml.cc, etc. No one has my real address. I basically only use it as my username. I g

Quality and opinion of mainstream media aside, I think we can all appreciate the difference between someone paid for their work by a professional news outlet and someone off the street who is paying Forbes to host their blog.

by jm4 7y ago
It’s not mainstream media. It’s a contributor site. You can pay some money and get one of your own. You can post whatever you want on there. They offer to do a little bit of editing and proofreading to make it look professional before it go

Maybe. Maybe not. They are pretty darn difficult. I’ve seen a few that are fairly straightforward to break. For the good ones, you’d need some quality CV tech and if what you have is that good then you’re probably better off using it for so

That will work for low end drive by stuff. Anyone motivated will have a better bot. I was running one 10-12 years ago that was essentially a headless browser. It had a JavaScript runtime and a custom DOM. It could run jquery, prototype, aja

It's not much effort. You basically write an image to an SD card, put it into a pi and you're up and running. Although it doesn't block everything that ubo does, it does a darn good job and it's also effective for device

Well that gives me hope that my experience was an anomaly. I was 200 miles from home with a disabled car so after calling several places I felt like I was out of options.

Ever get a flat tire in your Tesla? I did. No shop would touch it and I had to have it towed to Tesla where it took 2 days and $400 for a simple tire change. My blood boils when I see Musk tweet about putting more games in the car. They nee

Well, I specifically mentioned self driving availability for consumers. No one else is doing that now. The rest kind of supports the point I was trying to make. He’s a polarizing guy. I don’t think it’s fair to completely dismiss him as a b

No doubt he has vision and the ability to execute. I’m a huge fan. We wouldn’t have electric cars on the road, wouldn’t have AI-assisted driver tech for consumers and would be paying Russians to launch satellites for us if it weren’t for hi

They didn’t produce that story. It came from emails in the Podesta dump. Several of them were about “pizza” and other food items and they were very, very strange. They did not seem to be talking about food. In one of those there was a refer

I’ll respond to the part about undercovers transporting weapons and/or explosives. It’s easier to stay undercover flying commercial so a team may assemble in a location by taking separate flights and take their equipment with them. Tha
