Obviously oblivious

Quoting the obvious: “There is a feeling amongst chapters that ISOC seems to have disregarded community participation, failed to properly account for the potential community impact, and misread the community mindset around the .ORG TLD,” the Chapters Advisory Council's proposed advice to the ISOC board.

This has been the case since ICANN.

The organization has morphed itself into a money making scheme for insiders.

Ethos will pay whatever the lip service costs and do what it will like every other financial institution these days.

Free as in beer

A sad fact of human nature is that anything that can be obtained without cost is perceived to have no value. This is is why Socialism and public housing fail.

Translation

"This trade war is ruining our access to cheap labour and even with a tax incentive to bring our crap computers into the US this is getting expensive."

Whats old is bad again

I believe Ballmer wanted to do this in M$ troublesome youth.

The problem is there are good/better alternatives.

LibreOffice is compatible and has a shallow learning curve and is free.

Google Docs is also compatible and has a shallow learning curve and is available for the small price of one soul.

Rich mans game

It has been going on for years and was common knowledge.

Execs pretended it never happened because it might affect their bonuses.

It probably practice for the PLA crackers since the information could just be asked for with a reasonable chance the victims would cough up because if denied your factory workers would go on strike or the factory would burn down or you would be banned from selling on mainland China.

Just as planned

Its been common knowledge for sometime that since businesses entertaining doing business in the PRC have to have a Chinese partner and the new company has to have a CPC member on the board there is rampant IP theft occurring. In cases where this does not get the IP the CPC and Chinese industry craves it is also known that those who refuse a request by a CPC member or business to look at a design that workers will strike or your plant will burn down or you will be thrown out. In their feverish race to get access to Chinese slave labor the wealthy may have given the whole show away to the Chinese.

Neocons

IBM has not been the same since the Neocons took the place over and lobotomized the company.

This should read IBM is replacing older skilled workers with cheap, exploitable, dubiously skilled, outsourced and foreign labor since that is what they have really been up to.

Just say no

"NYU has amassed about three million MRI images of knees, brains and livers to train convolutional neural networks built by Facebook."

Facebook is the last service anyone would want handling sensitive health data.

Sadly Vegas

Everyone knows that the gambling monopoly that took over the casinos has no sense of humor. They also lack tact and perhaps common sense since one imagines gambling execs may have made themselves a target of interest.

What's in a name?

PETA can blame the Dutch, Fishkil, vis kill, fish creek.

Perhaps Fishkill though the original name Tioranda too pretentious.

False sentiment

"Sir Alan Duncan told Parliament this afternoon that the British government is "increasingly concerned" about Assange's health." - concerned that he is still breathing, a step they seek to resolve forthwith.

Spinning in the news

What's sad is that not of this kind of thing ever makes pop-media as it does not fit their narrative on gun-control.

2nd agenda

A lot of this is caused by constant hazing and because localities want to keep the crime rate down.

If you are different in a US high school you get hazed.

Before social media it ended when you went home but since US students are stuck to their mobes, and/or SnapTweetingFacebooking there is constant hazing on already stressed kids.

It has also been shown that in at least 2 cases the FBI was notified about a possible shooter and ignored it (like 9/11) and local authorities were trying to get the arrest record down and told police to ignore calls about a potential shooter.

Fits his agenda

American Pai outsourced a flood campaign.

She added that rejections “send a damaging message that the UK is not open to the ‘brightest and best’ across the world”

Ms. Main must have copy-pasta this from the guidebook on how to trash your domestic workforce.

This argument is rather smooth and it has been shown again and again the brightest and best stay home and answer calls from those that get these visas about how to do their job.

"These figures show the scale of the problem and the urgency to find a solution," said CaSE executive director Sarah Main.

"Across the country, businesses and public services are being blocked at the last hurdle from recruiting the people they need... This leaves employers frustrated and the public poorly served."

One wonders how many visa applicants are qualified for Ms. Main's position?

Without the Russian source where will Spacex get all of its working rockets from?

Truth in advertising

It's no surprise "Pretty Boy Floyd" stumped for this burning bag of crypto-crap.

His whole career has been a fraud.

Must be bonus time

Ever since the Neo cons hijacked the company in the 90's IBM has been in a death spiral.

This is just more outsourcing, laying off anyone who still knows anything about the product and selling a license to some overseas firm.

Deja Vu

Perchance Atari could just buy a controller:

Google luv?

Perhaps M$ will grow up and support Oauth2 in their Mac and Pee Cee versions?

One can only hope...

Excellent article comrade!

For any company to open shop in the PRC a partnership has to be made with a local Chinese firm. The new company must also have a CPC member on its board. It is also common knowledge that if the CPC or the PLA are interested in something you are manufacturing in the PRC then you best be quick about giving them a peek otherwise your cheap exploitable labor goes on strike, you suddenly have IE problems and your factory burns down. The PRC is also helping students get into and pay for universities in the West as these are hotbeds of innovation thanks to cheapskate Western corporations that want to offload R+D costs while getting a big fat tax break and a gym or library named after the CEO.

Only a naive Register reporter and those that are paid to think like him would believe that all of this has nothing to do with technology advances in the PRC. Sure, the Chinese are historically masterful engineers but why work for it when it is far easier to steal it.

BS

One can't help but think that this is being done because large investors, banks, etc. all know that a bailout will be forthcoming if hotair tech corps like ML fail.

For its part if ML is smart, or at least buys some brains, they will buy out a startup that actually knows what they are doing.

NASA = SPACEX

With only 19 billion dollars from the US taxpayer NASA could not kill this quick enough to free up the budget so they could chuck more money at SPACEX so they could pay out bonuses and with what was leftover buy some Russian rockets and hire the India's space agency to put stuff in orbit..

"It's your FCC"

The FCC has been hollowed out and turned into a mouthpiece for the carriers.

It is not going to change until they kick out or arrest that corrupt sell out Ajit Pai.

It's your FCC

This is the kind of thing that makes the US lags behind Europe, Asia and most third world nations in broadband quality and speed.

Expensive on purpose

Apple product high cost is just a bit of marketing.

The expense is meant to imply exclusivity.

The extra dosh doesn't hurt either.

Cost?

Ahh, sugar is expensive, so perhaps someone wants a bonus and needs to meet a goal?

They did the same thing to Coca-Cola in the states and it was never the same.

The closest you can get to "the real thing" is to either get it from Mexico or wait for the Passover formula.

There was a lot of illegal coercion by Silicon Vallay threating employees if they voted for Trump. Trump had threatened to turn off the tap on their supply of cheap, exploitable labor plumbed through the various US visa programs.

For example this from Bryan Llenas :

The CEO of Grubhub, an online food delivery service, sent a company wide email Wednesday suggesting employees who agree with President-elect Donald Trump’s behaviors and his campaign rhetoric should resign.

“If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here,” wrote Matt Maloney, Co-Founder of Grubhub. “We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team."

Common problem

It is a hazard of BPO.

The identity theft is rampant with call center workers thinking Limey is rich and so a little credit card fraud won't hurt them. There are whole call centers setup to scam westerners.

It will only stop when it is made to hurt, something like the government in the offending area and the corporation that hired the service being made to pay a fine plus restitution.

Digital snake oil

Corporations as solid as M$ have gotten away with vaporware for years. Many computing gadgets and software fail to do what it says on the can.

The problem has been exasperated with the demonstration by the banking industry of how uncomfortable authorities are to collar well-to-do criminals.

Well yes, actually

The prime motivation for the outsourcing was so they could skirt FOA. At least it is the main reason they are doing this in the States.

Personally, I couldn't care less...

I'll probably watch the first episode and if she's good continue and if not chock it up to PC.

In the fluff they could have run a parallel Rx. Who as a women in the form of his clone in "The Rebel Flesh".

M$ loves MacinDosh

M$ has been hungrily eyeing the size 10s Apple has been giving its fanbois for new Macs and did not want any Microsofties to miss out on the experience.

And the mustachioed contenance of Big Brother opened into a smile

Should it not be that Google nee, Alphabet is required, by as some law to remove these records from search rather then reliance on Google's benevolence?

Pai in the bum

It should be obvious by now that Ajit Pai has to go if not face charges for fraud. He is corrupt and is basically a mouth piece for Big Comm. This has been a trend i nthe US for some time recalling how ICANN ('t) turned into a insiders club for that part of the industry.

United Ireland

It is really too bad that Brexit is going to split Ireland even more.

Why can't Blighty give up NI?

Just as planned

Citizen 4 showed us that M$, Apple, Facebook and all of the rest of the usual suspects were on the dole to provide spook + dog custom built back doors. M$ and all of the others should be dragged before the beak for selling a hobbled product.

Edgey

If you care about privacy then you don't use Windows because by using Windows you have no expectation of privacy and this is common knowledge considering the past behavior of this corporation. That being said Edge would be better if they restored the delete usage data that they aped off of Firefox.
