Re: A few of us at work are already using Amazon to the minimum needed
I have found Amazon to be expensive compared to the same products direct from the company's web site or even eBay.
The most irritating thing about Amazon however, is that when I make a search for something, Amazon. De always comes up high in the search but never has the item when you go there.
Instead I am offered a dozen other products that bear no relationship with my original search.
Do they pay for high search listings?
Imagine if Facebook could read your mind: Er, I have some bad news for you...

Clearly he's not trying hard enough, but then although most boys like fine young women, it doesn't mean they want to be one.
I have an answer to EM pollution and Facebook reading my mind, I suggest eating a tin foil every day, increasing it as the body adapts until you have aluminium skin. Ha! Then they won't be able to mess with my mind.
In the meantime you could make a suit out of space blankets.

You can trust us to run a digital currency – we're Facebook: Exec begs Europe not to ban Libra
Re: "Libra is designed to be a better payment network"
For me a better payment system would in preference to a promissory note or worse an electronic promise would be physical coins, ideally in gold or silver and definitely not with zuck's head stamped on it.
I just know there are millions of ovine followers of FB who will go for 'social currency' but they are people who think reading what a celebrity has for breakfast is interesting, thank deity I am not one of them.

Re: Don't want. Don't need
I have a 12 panel 48v array, it's cloudy today but I am still getting over 600W, had a lot of rain and cloud over the last few days but have had no problems. The mppt panels produce power from light at almost any angle and at low levels.
In a little over a year I have made 2.176 kWh of leccy, closest thing to a meter is the bluetooth app I connect to the controller with.
First they came for 'face' and I did not speak out because I... have no face? Then they came for 'book'

Re: AI...
Snowflakes aren't the problem, the problem is the people who are trying to protect us from ourselves and suffocating freedom of speech in the process.
Who gets to decide the limits of what can be said, to whom and what context, particularly on the occasion s when something may be unpleasant and/or aggressive and may even be in a bullying tone but is a necessary truth.
Nobody has to like what I say but I do have the right to say it.

If anyone is offended, outraged or feeling oppressed by this comment, someone made me say it.

Re: admit defeat?
"Until corporations are deprived of the right to lobby, the fight will go on."
Good luck with that, no matter how undemocratic buying favourable legislation is, big business will continue buying out consumer's rights from under them.
Lobbying will have to get a lot worse before there is an appreciable public backlash against it and part of the problem is that it is under reported, perhaps because those who could report on it are largely dependent on those same lobbyists.

Re: Call me a cynic but....
The same in Spain in theory but in summer most people wear shorts and a teeshirt withe flip flops, maybe have enough money for a beer, otherwise the only thing they are carrying is a pack of cigarettes.

Magnetic cockroaches, dirty money, wombat poo and posties' balls: It's the Ig Nobels 2019
Re: Two future poop Ig Nobels
"create a Poopba that follows your dog on walkies and picks the poop up so you don't have to."
That's why I prefer cats, they don't require walkies and they go to next door's flower beds to carefully excavate a hole and then bury their contribution to fertilising the neighbour's plants.

Re: Chatbot
Tracking wise, I had a parcel coming from AliExpress, it was apparently coming from their warehouse in the Netherlands. According to the tracking the parcel went from Holland to Singapore and then Romania where it got lost, I received a refund and then re ordered, on the same day I received my replacement parcel and the one lost one from Romania.
Re: Voice response phone
I was thinking of Aviva while reading the article. I retired recently, trying to get my poxy little pension released as a lump sum only took about a dozen calls (from Spain) at an average of 20 odd minutes per call, of which 15 minutes was waiting to speak to an alleged human. Though in fairness the girl who finalised everything was a star, polite helpful and actually put notes into my file so that the next person knew what I was talking about without having to initiate the entire process from the beginning.

Service call centres to become wasteland and tumbleweed by 2024
Tumbling Tumbleweed
First, even near term 'Futurist' studies by consulting groups are notoriously and frequently wrong.
Second, the title 'digital transformation decision makers' tells you all you need to know about the group consulted for the study. These will be people for whom disruptive technology is their bread and butter, they will disrupt no matter the cost or how wrong it will turn out to be, most of them will have gone the way of Roy Rogers along with their tumbleweed before a lot of their ideas work.
Even the call centres that are allegedly on their way out haven't begun to work well in many cases.

Black hole crisis
I see people making light of this issue, but the British government is taking this threat to our sovereignty very seriously indeed.
To that end I have set up a parliamentary committee of enquiry, to set out a plan to deal with the crisis. Due to limited time for debates on the subject we have decided in the mean time to exit the galaxy, as soon as parliamentary time tables permit will be urgently discussing this matter............
From pen-test to penitentiary: Infosec duo cuffed after physically breaking into courthouse during IT security assessment
Re: Doing their job to the fullest extent?
I have worked in various aspects of physical security, it is easy to assess that without actually trying to break in to the building.
If they include that aspect of security in addition to actual infosec then they need to know a little more.
The fact that they got caught shows not only that the physical security works but also that they didn't do enough homework.

But, but, Sovereignty!
Of course, leaving Europe means the UK can exercise it's sovereignty in a very full and meaningful way.
Apart from having to comply with EU regulations on everything from data to the butter on your breakfast toast, if you want to do business with the EU. Oh, and havingto comply with WTO trade rules for most of the rest of the world, which will also allow megacorps free rein to buy into and corporatize anything British that they fancy. Fracking in your back garden anyone?
Yay! The UK will be able to control it's own destiny!?
