Your assumptions about the safety of LANs are wrong. LANs are not "safe" from attackers and NAT is not a security tool.

If an attacker compromises any device on your network you think they'll stop there? Hell no. They're going to pivot and compromise every other vulnerable device on the network and we're already seeing "crime kits" (aka customizable malware) with built-in exploits for things like networked printers and cameras. It won't be long before they have built-in exploits for light bulbs, refrigerators, and more.

Also, what about IPv6? To date, consumer routers that support IPv6 are configured by default to hand out global IPv6 addresses (as they should!) to connected devices via DHCPv6. What this means is that your IoT light bulb is going to get a globally-accessible IPv6 address.

You can setup the firewall to block inbound connections to your light bulbs, toasters, microwave, refrigerator, etc but who is actually going to do that? Firewalls are a huge pain in the ass to configure for zillions of little devices like that and in order for them to work properly you'll need to ensure that each device gets a reasonably static IPv6 address which means going deep into the configuration of your router.

Also consider that even if you have near perfect security for your LAN we're all constantly moving in and out of our homes with connected devices that could be compromised elsewhere. Laptops, phones, tablets, etc leave our homes, connect to who-knows-what free WiFi network and then return; possibly in a compromised state.

Never assume that because something is on a LAN it is "protected" by the mere fact that it doesn't have a direct connection to the Internet! If something else on that LAN has a connection to the Internet you must treat it as if it were exposed to the Internet because it is.
When I was hired on the Watson team, the first thing they asked me to do was help improve performance of their AngularJS-based website. It was all-around slow, especially for the initial page view. I stripped out AngularJS and most of the other JavaScript, and published a website that was almost pure static HTML. It loaded very quickly. My manager thought it was hilarious - his "JavaScript expert" came in and deleted all of the JavaScript.
Pretty compelling information. Two observations: 1) No LinkedIn. Are they on top of the problem? 2) I had fun results with the Epic Privacy Browser.
although i don't use it for directions, i use the digital map every time i drive. i drive a higher end car which has two maps, one in the center console and one in the instrument pod. i set the the instrument pod to show a top-down zoomed in dynamic heading version and the console map shows a bird's eye zoomed out fixed north version. very useful.

also satellite radio and weather/traffic is useful. if i want directions my phone will play them audibly over bluetooth while i look at my dash map (it's the same map!)

i think any car with bluetooth and a halfway decent regular map will be useful for years to come. my parents have a 10 year old car with a map that's still useful for basic nav.
It simply makes no sense to use in-car GPS. Updates are free (some car markers charge them) and fast for mobile apps. There's a little tradeoff (privacy) though.
The Serverless Framework is at the core of all our monetisation strategies, so we need the Framework to be spread to as many developers and into as many teams as possible and allow for way more complex infrastructure to be built. So by necessity we'll be pushing really hard on moving the framework forward.

I don't think the needs of an open source community stay in stark contrast to VC funding model, because without the Framework getting a lot of traction our other products aren't as interesting. So we'll be working on getting that traction. And we can't do this just by ourselves. We wouldn't be here without the Contributor community (literally because they implement so many features) so without good communication, outreach, support, ... we won't be able to grow fast enough.

I can only tell you that it is our true intention to push the framework forward very hard and build monetisation around it as much as we can to build this into a long term sustainable company. The more help and feedback we get to build the right commercial products and get great revenue (so we can give our Investors as well as our Team a return as well) the happier everyone is, including the community.
I agree that it most likely is some sort of licensing issue which prevents the same content. But Netflix isn't paying for Cinema Paradiso, or Braveheart, or Zootopia, or … in Sweden. In fact the Swedish library is less than half the size of the US library[1]. Yet Swedish consumers pay just as much as US consumers. There is a large discrepancy in the value given for customers' money here which Netflix does not address.

Bad UI, quickly out-of-date data, required trip to dealer to update said data, and lack of traffic awareness makes them just useless compared to something like Waze.
I agree - Netflix is becoming synonymous with binge watching. I've gotten months and months of value out of Netflix with Breaking Bad, Lost, The Office, The X-Files, House, etc... If I had to do the research required to get similar satisfaction out of the same number of hours of movie viewing? Forget it.
It all depends on the sample size. If sufficient money is put towards it you will find the correlation. People have also done studies on this for around 50 years, everything is correlated with everything else:

'The author once had occasion to use 700 subjects in a study of publie opinion. After a factor analysis of the results, the factors were correlated with individual-difference variables such as amount of education, age, income, sex, and others. In looking at the results I was happy to find so many "significant" correlations (under the null-hypothesis model)-indeed, nearly all correlations were significant, including ones that made little sense. Of course, with an N of 700 correlations as large as .08 are "beyond the .05 level." Many of the "significant" correlations were of no theoretical or practical importance.'
https://www.gwern.net/docs/statistics/1960-nunnally.pdf

"One of the common experiences of research workers is the very high frequency with which significant results are obtained with large samples. Some years ago, the author had occasion to run a number of tests of significance on a battery of tests collected on about 60,000 subjects from all over the United States. Every test came out significant. Dividing the cards by such arbitrary criteria as east versus west of the Mississippi River, Maine versus the rest of the country, North versus South, etc., all produced significant differences in means. In some instances, the differences in the sample means were quite small, but nonetheless, the p values were all very low. Nunnally (1960) has reported a similar experience involving correlation coefficients on 700 subjects. Joseph Berkson (1938) made the observation almost 30 years ago in connection with chi-square"
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~nydic001/docs/teaching/Fall2011_PSY38...

"...it is regularly found that almost all correlations or differences between means are statistically significant. See, for example, the papers by Bakan [1] and Nunnally [8]. Data currently being analyzed by Dr. David Lykken and myself, derived from a huge sample of over 55,000 Minnesota high school seniors, reveal statistically significant relationships in 91% of pairwise associations among a congeries of 45 miscellaneous variables such as sex, birth order, religious preference, number of siblings, vocational choice, club membership, college choice, mother’s education, dancing, interest in woodworking, liking for school, and the like. The 9% of non-significant associations are heavily concentrated among a small minority of variables having dubious reliability, or involving arbitrary groupings of non-homogeneous or non-monotonic sub-categories. The majority of variables exhibited significant relationships with all but three of the others, often at a very high confidence level (p < 10–6)."

Another reason not mentioned by the article is map updates. Lexus charges $169+ to update the map data and requires a dealer appointment. A smartphone with google/Apple maps is always more up-to-date.

If you're buying a new car today, the reason to get navigation is for the LCD screen and not for the GPS. The LCD is used to see the rear view camera image for parking. Also, playing music shows the song titles.
I managed to watch everything I was interested in (Narcos, The Get Down, House of Cards) during the free trial period and nothing else caught my interest so I never had to pay.
And ironically Public Health is the lowest, least respected medical specialization. Doctors practicing that earn like plumbers or construction workers. Yet we all own them our collective health and well-being.
It's newsworthy because Apple's downmarket strategy for schools was to buy an iPad, and a cheap Chromebook is 1/3 the price of that.

The chromebook is so cheap that people are abandoning functionality to buy them. Kids are coming home with them and parents are using them like bigger smartphones. It's an inferior device that's good enough for many use cases.

In car terms, it's not a Civic vs. Lamborghini. It's more like a 2-door loaded Accord vs. a BMW 300 series. The Honda costs 30-40% less and gets the job done. The BMW is a similar, arguably higher performance car, but the value is really derived from cachet/vanity.
Honda Civic and Lamborghini comparisons when talking about Chromebooks and Macbooks? Really?
I still have the wish to build a board for a Raspberry Pi or similar that, through the GPIO pins would be able to drive an Apple II as its console (using the keyboard and 80-column display) by directly reading from and writing to the 6502's address space. A tiny bit of firmware could initialize it as a normal Apple II peripheral and, with the right software running on the Pi, it'd be possible to emulate a number of different cards in software.

If I could lay my hands on an Apple ///, which had a color-capable text mode, it'd be even more usable.

My real wish, however, is to be able to actually work from the Apple II :-)
> The Borg?

More like smarter grey-goo. The classic idea of a nanotechnological disaster ("grey goo") is building a tiny self-replicating robot that consumes matter to replicate. It's "smart" enough to disassemble matter to construct more of itself. Imagine something with similar "smarts", enough to work towards a much more complex goal ("build and expand into more compute nodes to compute faster"), but with absolutely no term in its value function related to humans. You're not its enemy, any more than a rock is its enemy; it doesn't have enemies, it just has matter not yet in the shape of more compute nodes. Your existence or non-existence isn't something it notices.

> Again, no one would care we're being optimised away? No one would notice?

You can notice something without having any ability to stop it. You can notice an explosion happening right next to you, right before you're consumed by it. You can notice everything dissolving into component atoms, but you can't do anything about it.

The science fiction scenario is "build an army of killer robots"; that's an understandable threat, and one you can imagine fighting against. The more likely scenario is "dissolve all adjacent matter into component atoms and rearrange it".

> Maybe it'd want to be our friend?

(Aside: my first reaction to this was to think of the whale from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello, Ground!")

A recognizably human-like mind (let alone a concept of "friend") is a ludicrously tiny possibility, compared to being utterly inscrutable. As much as people like to anthropomorphize computers, an AGI isn't necessarily a "person" in any recognizable sense. The most likely kind of failed AGI wouldn't have a useful concept of "human", or "friend", or "life".

(There's a separate tier of failed AGI possibilities that does have a concept of "human" but an utterly broken value system; those are the ones that lead to the "worse than death" scenarios, rather than just the "destroyed by accident" scenarios.)

> If AGI solves literally every single problem humans currently face, how can AGI be a problem?

An AGI with the correct value system would. And an AGI with the correct value system is the most reliable protection against an AGI with the wrong one; by the nature of such a value system, it's unlikely that there'd ever be a second AGI, rather than just extensions of the first.
I wonder how you deal with remarks made by known people in real life where there isn't this obscuring mechanism. If you have a plan to deal with that, the same can be applied here.

Personally, having a "blue tick" like thing for distinguished posters is helpful psychologically as it reassures me that I am not reading comments by newly minted young adult or a 20+ years experienced person doing mostly rote work. Now, there is nothing inherently bad about comments made by such posters, just that it would be far more reassuring to know that a poster is, hopefully, bringing in his publicly acknowledged experience into what he is saying, especially on topics in which that person is known for. To make it clear, they could even be a 20 something distinguished person! The point is not about age but about accomplishment.
Blockbuster is a great example of a company that didn't do that. How are they doing these days?
> I don't want to subscribe to 10 different streaming services that all have their own original content, I want to subscribe to one

As long as they are unbundled and easy to subscribe and unsubscribe from, I don't really mind. The bundling is the real thing I hate about cable. Now sub-subscriptions like Amazon Prime has with Showtime and such really suck, and I wouldn't want those, but if registration is as simple as setting up or cancelling a recurring subscription, I'm fine with subscribing to 10 different services. I can also see the market for a free or one-time paid app that will maintain a queue of what you want to watch, and automatically subscribe to the correct channel for that month so you can watch the maximum content for the minimum money.

[Also, this is a personal opinion, but to me, Netflix's original content + their reduced catalog is definitely worth $10/month. Much better than the $100+ "special offer price" that Comcast offers if I want to watch non-stupid channels from their lineup.]
Well, the SR-71 could go over Mach 3 at 85,000 ft. If you could have somehow pushed it to that speed at sea level, you would have had even worse heat problems.
It seems good number to me. Was it really expected that a service at fractional cost of cable TV will have majority of top movies in any defined category?
I'm guessing from other comments that it checks logins on a wide variety of sites, some of which may be NSFW. Some employers might not like you accessing NSFW sites.

My car has voice-control, so I press a button on the steering wheel, speak my destination, and I'm good to go. It works really well. I can't do this easily on a smartphone while I'm driving.

The "big-screen dinosaur" is incredibly helpful for showing routes and directions, much better than the dinky smartphone screen.

Did they have any meaningful education market share after the Apple II, but before the iPad? Before various "iPad in schools" projects I've never seen or heard about Apple in education...
If your going to keep a cat inside all the time, then you shouldn't own one.
they could change the ordering of some of Netflix's offering, I'm not sure if it would do anything.
A hypersonic vehicle can travel much faster than that. We're talking about the ability to strike targets anywhere on the globe in minutes. That IS destabilizing. The example of striking carrier groups in the pacific is only the tip of the iceberg.

This race amounts to a global game of chicken, and the stakes of a mistake are world war. Let's hope cooler heads prevail.

On the other hand, there are some pretty amazing applications of air breathing hypersonic technology. You could use it to launch equipment, satellites and people into space much more efficiently (air breathing means you don't need to carry an oxidizer!). Or imagine being able to fly from NY to Hong Kong in an hour! This kind of tech is not as imminant as the article is implying. We've only barely demonstrated small air breathing hypersonic vehicles as feasible (see X-51 and X-43). The X-43 was a crude initial test that demonstrated flights of only up to 12 seconds. The X-51 managed to go for 6 minutes. Scaling this up to a transportation vehicle will pose a significant engineering challenge.

Artists barely make money off of Spotify anyway. It's just marginally more than they'd get out of piracy, and a more legitimate platform to advertise their content. Making money in music has been all about concerts and merch for a while.

If the traffic is encrypted how do you guarantee that the device doesn't spy on user and doesn't have backdoors preinstalled?

And why would a device need full Internet access? Shouldn't it be only accessible in home network with maybe some (user selected) servers from Internet it is allowed to connect to?

We could use some sort of VPN (from device to other owner's devices) so that even if it is connected to Internet directly it doesn't accept any packets coming not from its owner. VPN also provides encryption while allowing user to examine traffic in clear text.

I think we need some type of easyly deployed, ubiquitous, simple, snandartised VPN type protocol so that the users can build protected networks over public insecure infrastructure.

Today if you connect your device to Internet you connect it directly to NSA and chinese hackers.

And if your device is disconnected from public network hackers cannot break into it even if they have exploits.
Completely agree. I travel a ton. When I subscribe to Netflix and Hulu and pay them for using their services, I expect to be able to use that service wherever I go. To tell me because I am in Panama I cannot use their services makes me seriously question why I am paying for the service to begin with. The solution, cancel both of them and be done with streaming TV / Movies altogether.
This depends on your car model. Many (like mine) have horrible voice control systems.
I have one Chip and one PocketChip as a backer; my lifepartner has another PocketChip. Last February I preordered five Chips (the max) and another PocketChip. My understanding is that it's actually the PocketChip that holding up shipping my order.

I was an early order of TextBlade too, cancelled after waiting a year for a device that was supposed to be in production and ready to ship. I got tired of letting people hold my money who wouldn't tell me the truth. The TextBlade forum is now being purged of anybody who complains; having originally created a "Rants" section, ranting is no loner allowed. For uncensored information, go to the TextBlade Reddit.

The TextBade mobile app, required for firmware updates and adavanced keyboard mapping has been in the iOS app store since last December (it's needed to be a beta user). Only mock-ups (at best; the video could well be fake) of the Android app have been shown; previously WayTools said they would not begin development on Android until after they started shipping product. They basic attitude has been that they don't give a crap about Android users but like their money.

Back to sanity. Clicking here and there and forwarding mails so others do the job is not working. Nor is "networking" which might work well on a tablet. The key is creation which still requires a decent keyboard.

Why would a company using a monthly subscription model pay to license the most expensive top-rated classic film catalogues?

Why would you want them to? A big portion of the money you pay Netflix every month would then go to have indefinite access to films you don't watch or don't watch again often enough to justify this ongoing cost.

Would you lease a Ferrari you drove one or two days a year? Especially if a one-day rental or buying is an option?
> I don't want to subscribe to 10 different streaming services that all have their own original content

Funny how so many people screamed for al la care programming and now that it's happening everyone is realizing it's actually worse.

I know people hated it, but there is something to be said about traditional TV and how it's consumed. Having a centralized menu/guide of all the content you can view makes it much easier to consume (at least for me). Jumping in and out of services can be kind of annoying, and often times has lead me to forget about content on these services.

My hope is Vue and SlingTV pick up more momentum and we begin to decouple broadcast TV from it's hardware. I don't want to rely on the FCC to do this, as we've seen it fail with CableCard and Tru2Way, so maybe more providers jump on this. I doubt we'd see Comcast doing this, but even if they did and locked it to AppleTV or Roku it'd be a huge step forward.

The issue has never been the cost of the bundle, it's always been the cost of the sub-par hardware.
Should Shopping Centres Offering Free Wifi Block Access to Amazon?
>You need to be pretty dumb to buy a Mac now.

My retina macbook 13" is three years old, still as snappy as I first got it, no issues at all. Everything still works completely fine and it feels solid. The battery still holds 90% of its original charge. That's why I'll get a macbook again, because if I hadn't I'd have gone through at least 2 Windows laptops between then and now. These are just built way better. Other examples of laptops that compete on build quality, weight, and size are just as expensive.

But I do agree that they need to pull a miracle to get the mac lineup out of the sorry state it is in right now. I guess they're good enough for most people, and looking around at my university library I'm sitting in right now I can see many people with new macbooks and macbook pros. The hard part is for Apple to do something _interesting_ without making it _worse_...
