Facebook has been fighting tooth and nail to continue running Free Basics in India, where the country’s regulatory authorities are mulling policies concerning net neutrality and differential pricing for data services. How to shoot yourself in the foot.

A senior Homeland Security official recently argued that Internet anonymity should outlawed in the same way that driving a car without a license plate is against the law. A license to internet.

Do we have that Senior Homeland Security official's name and IP address? If not, why not?

While I don't agree with the premise, it does give me pause to think.
Since this official was American, I will use the U.S. as the area of interest.
If someone desires to physical enter the U.S., the must provide documentation - passport or some other form of ID. If I want to have a package physically sent across the border, it is subject to customs inspection.
However, a digital package is not subject to the same potential scrutiny.
So, what would happen if all electronic communication originating outside of the U.S. and being sent to the U.S. was required to have an electronic signature, verifiable, of whom the sender was?
Just some thoughts...

Most recently, Zappos has been running an experiment with a radical management theory called Holacracy. Holacracy sets up companies as self-managing teams with no titles or managers. "Technically in my last job I didn't have a title, but I was referred to by some as 'Yuppie Mephistopheles.'"

IIRC yes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In this article is a 27-way graphics card comparison testing graphics cards from each generation going from the GeForce 8 series through the GeForce GTX 900 series and ending with the $999 GeForce GTX TITAN X. I'm really hoping newer = better.

N.Y. Times, January 20: [^]. Asking “who’s losing?” misses a larger truth about how thoroughly Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft now lord over all that happens in tech. So, forget about Intel ?
An interesting op-ed piece, but, imho, not so deep; I would have liked to have seen a comparison of the "five" (particularly Apple) to the great vertically integrated cartels of the early 19th. century. Would have been more interesting if it mentioned the incredible amount of funding going into "virtual reality" (as with Magic Leap).

How and who will confirm that they got it right.
But by that time they will keep changing the versioning of internal dlls here and there. And while working on it later, we may end up pulling our hair looking the messed up libraries.
Cheers!!
