At a smaller scale, California or perhaps Massachusetts could do this independently -- as they often do -- and it will have the effect of reverberating across the country.

The FCC absolutely must clamp down on EOL policies and security updates for phones. It's a telecom infrastructure issue. Sure it places a burden on companies like Google and Verizon, but they're the ones who deserve to carry tha

I pay these content companies so much money across a multitude of services, and yet I still can't watch much of anything that's worth a damn. Their whole business model is hostile to their own customers and remains broken even in

Their starting point for the product was to barrel through (read: ignore) a widespread municipal regulation in order to manufacture a new market opportunity. This fact alone should be enough to understand their ethos.

Yes, of course it's silly as a funding mechanism. What happens with the money downstream is independent of how it was obtained. The point is that science should not have to resort to this kind of thing in a society that appropriately p

No, the upside down part of it is that our systemic mechanisms for research funding are so limited compared to the scale of the problems we face as a species that we need to fall back on silly internet campaigns to fund this work.

Yes, that's the point. The press office just got clickbaity with the word "weird," as it always does for any QM paper.

Yes, you're right. The Nobel Prize winner completely misses that the value of an asset is complicated. He only talks about that in half of the piece. Also, many readers seem to miss the fact that Shiller almost certainly did not writ

I've been through this. Actually I was well-supported by my department and switched groups even later than that -- too late if you ask anyone. When you're motivated and on the right project, you can do a PhD in only a couple of ye

Consumers don't buy advertising. Companies do. Consumers don't want advertising at all, and they don't really understand that all their tech products/services are subsidized by ad revenue. Would they pay recurring fee

There is no tautology and no conflict. Both would be true statements of their conditional claims were true. The trouble is that internet advertising is far more likely to be overvalued than cars are. I think everyone in the thread knows

I made my point. If internet advertising is an overvalued sector of the economy -- which it most certainly is -- then all your favorite companies need new business models. What more do you want to hear?

Snore. It's just advertising. If internet advertising is overvalued, then SV company valuations are dramatically too high.

I would suggest looking at the paper in more detail before saying it's uncontrolled. I found the control just by skimming the figures.

A nice longterm study. However, the fact that they need to specify in the title of this lay article that "this isn't hype" really says it all about science "journalism."

As said by an MP in the article, the solution is simply to add special protections for politicians.

If true, it points to a true compromise of TV servers, not just bruteforce with email/password dumps.

He can't say it outright. He's saying they were regularly manipulating the markets in which they operated in an anticompetitive manner. That's one of the main mechanisms by which free markets fail.

It's only a matter of time before these streetview cars become autonomous. It's a safe bet that the self-driving project and maps teams already have a lot of interaction.

Why not just fully automate the interlibrary loan system to eliminate human intervention? Have it accept a DOI, return the PDF, and automatically fill out any backend paperwork.

A malicious module would only need to act like VW's defeat device to overcome that check. When it senses some integrity/signing routine, it simply isolates itself from a verifiable circuit.
