Like a lot of people you miss the point. Sometimes the invention isn't meant to be mass produced but more of a proof that it can be done. Having it travel the world was a publicity stunt. But it was a stunt to show the advancements in solar energy. Not to spur a world of solar heavier than air aircraft. However the real progress is in using technology to build an aircraft light enough, and with enough power generation to support a long term flight.
Now if we take the stuff that we learned, use these solar panels on our homes, use the construction to make more fuel efficient planes. Even just keep the knowledge around until solar panels get more efficient or batteries get lighter to make such a device more useful. However to pull such a stunt safely shows progress.
Why wouldn't a nerd carry an iPhone? The iPhone still for the most part has better apps. And you have a real Unix back end vs a Linux back end. Plenty of Nerd Turf war.
I think they will have USB-C ones. Vs. the old standard ones if you want Head Phones that are cabled. Of course the more annoying part is the headphones that come with the iPhone will not work on other stuff. I am not an audio snob. But the default iPhone earbuds are better quality than many of the cheaper ones. So I will plug them into the Treadmill at the gym, or in my PC. if USB-C actually catches on it will take many years before it will be consistent in most devices. As my Gym isn't going to replace it $4,000 treadmills just because some users don't have compatible headphones. Heck they had the old iPod dock in it that doesn't work with the new devices.
Instead of shorting, I would suggest to just sell the stocks. Shorting Stocks is buying against the company. So you will have 100 stocks in Nintendo and 100 stocks against Nintendo in essence 0ing your value.
Now Stock shorting is good for reducing volatility in stocks where a similar stock is expected to follow the trend, but not as much. So if both go up, the more volatile stock will still go up but not as much. And when they go down the same thing. Preventing a massive crash.
The stock market isn't rational. It never was. A company lays off people the stocks go up. Not because the company is restructuring to something new, but because that is what people are told is how it works. Layoffs raise the stock prices. So you hear about layoffs you run to try to get the price before it rises more.
Then don't get one. However they are some people with older models say the iPhone 5 or less. which are starting to feel its age. Where apps for it are no longer designed for that phone and your OS isn't going to be supported going further. Also they are some android users who may want a newer phone where the iPhone is better for them. (Also some iPhone users will go to Android for the better variety). However being that the Phone Prices don't drop over time unless there is a new version. Many people will get the new phone when it is released as to maximize their time having state of the art phone.
I had the origional iPhone I got in 2008 and only retired it in 2015 the thing still works, but we needed something better.
The Media usually has her as a rather cold person who seems to be more strategic than caring. The people who I have talked to and they were all very consistent and worked on different political spectrums said that she was actually a rather warm person who actually listens and cares about the issues you bring up, even if she disagreed with it she didn't just dismiss them but listen to them to see if there was a good middle ground. And for the most part she actually cared about the people being affected by the action and less about just doing what is normally done.
That said, she has been in politics a long time, and her actions do not seem to mesh with people's reaction to her.
While not trying to sound like a blind Hillary Supporter. Any Politician who has been in the game for a while had associated with corrupt people, and had some degree of corruption from it.
Sanders seem to avoid most of it from being mostly a nobody in the senate for most of his career. Senator (who runs as independent from a tiny state known for it quirky behavior). While Clinton being First Lady of a Popular president, followed by a job as a Senator of New York (one of the largest states) then a job as Secretary of State. If you were to suckup to anyone she would be a good target.
Now Trump while hasn't been politically corrupted spent his career being the Corrupter.
Also I have met many people worked with Clinton. And apparently the real Clinton is much different than what the press makes her out to be. However corruption comes with being powerful. As people will want to influence you in any way possible.
I wouldn't worry so much if it was a Microsoft Product or not. The big concern with getting a gaming system when there is a new one expected to be released is the ability to get new games for the system. I am not a gamer so I don't know he details. However if the XBox One and the XBox One S will run the same games going forwards towards the life of the product, and the only difference is being able to run on 1080p vs 4k and you have no plans on getting a 4k TV. Then you are probably good. However if the One S games will be incompatible with the One on any screen resolution than you may not considering the cheaper price for a shorter useful life on the product.
The problem also extends that there is no consistent political representation on the issue. Democrats and Republicans are equally bad at this, and are too afraid to stand up and say. "American Rights are more important than American security." Especially as the suffering from our Rights being taken away is not showing any real benefit of security gains.
If you are going to do something that you don't want to get caught, technology will allow you to do this, and there isn't anything that Microsoft, Google, Apple or the Government can do it stop it. However we need to be Brave enough to stick up to our rights and say, I am willing to accept less security to insure my Rights are valued.
That is the wrong question. The problem isn't about having people leaching the system there are other attributes towards wealth than raw survivaval we want to feel special and worth while, those who freeloading willingly really have some mental problem that should be addressed. The real question is on the other side if there are no corporations or rich people what will prevent people going that extra mile where it really suffers. Let's use Musk as an example against all odds he is pushing clean energy and making money off of it. A government really would still stick with fossil fuel just because the risk of failure is low and the jobs for it are well defined. The social imbalance is needed for progress. But we need to make sure those at the bottom are not stuck. That is where the problem is.
I am not sure the point. We got a thousand connections, sure they should connect to free wi-fi however... 1. So they found out what sites they went to. Now much of that data was incrypted. So the details weren't too obvious. 2. The numbers were not that crazy. TFA said about 1000 people connected. So... About 50 people played a popular game 7 people were using a dating app 3 people viewed porn. Being that it is populated with many people who's main candidate married a porn star is it that surprising. 3. What does avast suppose to do about this? No matter how good the software you can't fix stupid.
More to the point. Would it be economically feasible. In the US we automate because the costs of Automation is less than labor. However in China Labor is much cheaper. Going towards automation may put China in an economic disadvantage.
Well for 1.5 Million I expect it was adding additional livable Square Footage to the home. Vs. just what I have seen on the renovations. I only see perhaps 200k vs of extra renovations to make existing rooms look treky.
For the most part that is all what Wikileaks seems to do. Nothing really surprising, unless you are really naive about the world.
Should I be shocked that the Publicly the Civilian casualties count was lower than the actual? Should I be shocked that a Military which is volunteer and not extremely selective and their ages are in the late teens and early 20's would have a bunch of people who will act less than professionally and cause trouble?
So why should I be shocked to find that When she is running for a position she is working with strategies to counteract her opponent?
Perhaps they should leak my email to find out that I spend a lot of time explaining my work and trying to avoid getting yelled at for the users mistakes?
However... That computer will be out of date in a few years. But the home theater (Albeit quirky) will raise the value of his home and his assets that 1.5 million dollars didn't go to waste, as he can always sell his home with the extra addition and make up the money, as well he can sell off many of his collections at action for more than he bought them for.
I am curious if we we have scientific evidence of this. (Not necessarily that it is better, but it tastes different). Or is it that most Pasteurised milk is also Homogenized (To prevent separation of the cream, with the rest of the milk.) Or perhaps that most of the time Pasteurised milk sold in the store may had been sitting on the shelf for a few days longer.
As with many of the Natural Food and Non-GMO food people. There is little science behind their claims but are basing it of an emotional response towards it.
While Nice to see. Still most displays are the standard 70+/- DPI like it has been for the past 20 years. It isn't too surprising that Google didn't jump to the new display options. Just because the relatively long life of the Standard Display.
Being that the DMCA was signed by Bill Clinton. I bet you can use that as an argument to go against it. However I think (And I am too lazy at the moment to look it up) at the time the Legislative branch was republican controlled, but why let facts get in the way of political postering.
Well if you are going to invalidate a US Congressional Approved Law that was Signed by the President of the United States (2 out of the 3 parts of the US Checks and Balances). You better be sure that you have as much data to prove your case to the Judicial System as possible. Poorly presenting your case and if it goes to the Supreme Court and your loose makes it nearly impossible to fight the case again. Much like how the conservatives fought over states rights for same sex marriages, in essence caused it to be legal in the entire state, because their defence of their stance wasn't backed up. If they didn't bring the case up, they may had a chance keeping what they perceive as a problem limited to only those LiBeRaL states.
Agree with him or not. However he is one of the few people who is using his money to inovate solutions to problems that are seeming to big for governments to handle. Found a way to sell Solar Panels as to not hinder the customers. Found a way to make an electric car cool and exciting vs a slow little box. Found a way to make rockets to go to space as a private institution.
He has a vision of the future and is working to create it.
Is he always right? No he isn't and he isn't some Magic man. But he has a vision and the vision includes trying to make the world a better place for everyone and not just him. So he deserves some credit. However if you disagree with his vision, you should feel free to work to create your future.
The problem with this "Sharing" Economy is that they had been abused to become a major income source. It was intended for commuters to find people going to the same place. However it morphed into an unregulated taxi service. The same thing with Air B&B Rent out your home while you go on vacation. Turned into a make shift hotel service.
Or wise up and use such safety features as safety features not as default state.
Just because you have Anti-Lock brakes and All wheel drive. It doesn't mean you can drive like you would normally in snowy/icy conditions. These features that kick in make sure you are safe when an problem occurs, not as your main state.
