I honestly can't remember the last time I had a telephone conversation with several people in several languages at the same time.
Strange, that, given that it must happen at least 20 times a week, for most people.

Judging from their video, I think the intended purpose is for face-to-face meetings. Which still strikes me as a non-common event, but maybe at the Microsoft offices.

So instead of having five people jabbering away incomprehensibly, you'll have five people jabbering away incomprehensibly and five phones jabbering away google-translatishly?
ms just keeps coming up with great and really useful idea after great and really useful idea.
I'm glad they know what we need, because we obviously don't.

All new cars and light trucks would be able to talk wirelessly with each other, with traffic lights and with other roadway infrastructure under a rule the Transportation Department proposed Tuesday. "Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah"

And the next day someone hacks the system and shuts down traffic all across the US
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Then the cars will swear at each other.

Not just the cars.

as far as they only swear...
I fear other actions could happen and will be worst.

I find this hard to believe. It implies that more than half of web sites are serving static content from non-reprogramable ROM using a webserver implemented in a non-reprogramable FPGA or equivalent.

Quote the article: The big problem is that even when a website is managed by a careful company, it will often load content from other sites,
Turning my adblock off I see:
codeproject.com - OK
*.fastly.net - assuming this is your CDN, OK
assorted google domains - probably not a malware risk, tracking OTOH??? Probably not anything blatant though, since Privacy Badger hasn't caught them being bad; it can't spot pure server side fingerprinting though.
developermedia.com - dunno what this is, but my adblock defaults to stopping the javascript it serves. The home built ad network I vaguely recall you were running years ago????
doubleclick.net - Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
But compared to a average 25:1 native to 3rd party request score cited in the article you're well ahead of the curve at least.
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?
