I suspect there have been times that were better and times that were worse. The only thing that is certain is that things change.

I think the hope is to lower the infection rate over a longer period of time so hospitals aren't overwhelmed

Companies buy those ads on their own search results so a competitor can't target them for advertising

It seems to me companies should instead invest in open source alternatives. They could pay less, funding the development of open source alternatives and everyone wins. Blender is a good example of this.

I suspect that US laws have made unions mostly toothless. I know this has happened to teachers unions. It's illegal for teachers unions in TN to strike(I don't know about other states). What power does a union have if they can't strike? Also Unions have been demonized in the US media and now public perception of unions is extremely low. Which is sad because they're one of the few tools workers have to bargain for their own rights.

Give them time, They'll add commercials. At one time cable didn't have commercials.

Sadly I don't see Nashville creating a municipal ISP. Google fiber has been such a disappointment here. It's only available to a very small area.

Agreed. There's no way I'd buy a Google gaming console for this reason.

No they generally say they have deep pockets and can afford the best players.

I'm not sure it matters to me whether the original article is 100% correct. What I think the original article points out correctly is that the Chinese supply chain is possibly a pretty easy vector for hardware based hacks. I would suspect most nation states have the pull to bribe/blackmail contractors to make malicious modifications. Though the chinese gov. would be the most likely culprit.

It also seems plausible the NSA would prefer techies not to look too closely at their hardware *removes tinfoil hat

I'm not bothered by this at all Marsha blackburn's district is a gerrymandered mess. She supports some of the worst policies consistently. Repealing net neutrality will just allow ISP's to double dip when charging. First they charge you their customer, for the pipe, then they will charge someone like netflix for faster data, forcing netflix to pass those charges on to you. The ability of an ISP to downgrade services they don't like or that competes with them is too much. There is no discussion to have.

I feel like net neutrality should be fought for at almost all cost. Marsha Blackburn doesn't care what her constituents believe...she got payed and her district is mostly safe.

Just had this happen to me with a video game. Luckily amazon just gave me a refund

I've got a vive. He's greatly overstating the problem it works fantastically most of the time.

The lack of enthusiasm and vision here is amazing to me. VR will change how we online shop, how we create and visualize models, build architecture, check out far away places, hold teleconferencing, buy homes, watch movies, watch sports and learn. It's going to be big. Gaming is a small tip of the iceberg. VR is going to deliver and it's going to deliver big IMHO.
