And because the pavements are almost always uneven and made with many stones/pavers rather than poured asphalt or concrete.

I work for Microsoft but not on any O365, Outlook.com, or advertising team.

Outlook.com (free public service) does not scan emails for ads - I filed a support ticket for asking about this year's ago.

Additionally, if you pay for O365 (Home or Personal, maybe just Home?) and use the same Microsoft account for email (via Outlook.com) then no ads are displayed at all.

And mother rabbits will eat any babies of theirs that die during birth. Is this news?

Farmers have historically benefited little from advancement in technology and this is no exception. If I think I'm worth more than my employer is paying me, I can shop my services around for a higher bidder. And while the concept is true for a farmer's output/services in reality most farmers (I grew up on a small family farm) have little choice but to sell at the price the local market will give them. Likewise they have to buy input goods (seed, fertilizer, breeding stock, etc.) at the price others choose. Holding output product is often not an option as banks (and other bills) need paid and food needs to be on the table. I'm thankful for a fairly healthy (by comparison) tech market.

Why pay users when they give it to you for free?

Wouldn't that be just as bad as using one password for every site? One account gets compromised they all get compromised.

As a user of both YouTube and Amazon.com I really don't want either recommendations you mentioned. I go to YouTube to watch specific videos and I go to Amazon to buy specific things. Those organizations want to give me recommendations but if I could turn them off and gain performance I would do that in a heartbeat.

I can't upvote this enough. There are aspects of agribusiness that are great (built in gym, outdoors, teaching work ethic to children, etc.) but there are other aspects like all the "vendors" you work with (seed supplier, livestock feed supplier, equipment companies, etc.) all sell to you (the farmer) at retail prices but you ALWAYS sell at wholesale. They set their prices to the market, you take what the market gives you. Unless you can be Cargil or ADM, prepare to scrape by.

At least with latest Android OS you can replace the Assistant with other options/apps.

I kind of like the chin on the Pixel 1 because I know I have another option to grab the phone without touching the touchscreen.

While I don't like any government collecting more data then they absolutely NEED - many businesses (including startups) are collecting social media data on us for the purposes of marketing their products/services and no one bats an eye (not many outside the EFF at least). For the record, I'm not a fan of data collection for either purpose.

I greatly up in rural Ohio and this is one of the best comments I've seen here. Well said.

I use (and like) Project Fi as well. Porting a number and/or taking the unlocked phone to an AT&T or T-Mobile store was also why I went with it. Do I honestly expect Project Fi to be around in 2 years? No.

It also has a Jupyter Notebook service piece currently in preview.

MS employee here - the new Microsoft is: Enable (make sure open source runs well on MS platforms) Integrate (make sure MS platforms work well with open source) Release (release key MS technology into open source) Participate (commit MS engineers to participate in communities)

Or maybe that she should have used the official State Department email system/service?

Even then are there compelling features (I didn't see the keynote) that make the web-based service superior to others?

Or my favorite - Business Administration with Concentration in Management Information Systems. This was my route and it laid a great foundation of how business works (you know, that part of a company that PAYS for IT... as well as business-focused IT (which does lag behind new uses of tech but does cover being ready for fundamental shifts/disruptions - which has been around in the business world since the beginning).

In a past life I was an IT consultant and good organizations do ask this question. Sometimes you have to ask the question like that to get business leaders (or board members) to pay attention to that "new IT spending".

I agree with you that Facetime/iMessage could have been the standard but Apple never opened it up (API/SDK). When iMessage was announced years ago they had an opportunity, now there are too many players and too much at stake (Facebook paid how much for WhatsApp?!).
