Unlimited approximates my frustration with such deceptive marketing puffing. Many companies use such descriptions Which is indicative of the company's attitudes towards their customers. PT Barnum quotes. Most people disregard, read the details and make an informed decision so seems ok but it shouldn't be taken so lightly. Industries like The telecoms have an oligopoly and need to be held to higher standards. The telecoms argue scale critical in providing services, which there is merit, but then they need to compensate by being more transparent in their terms of service.
Why would Uber care? It is 2am Especially on a weekend. Save your computing cycles, probably drinking. One of the attractions to ride services can drink and not drive. Why not just ask the passengers instead of going into creepy mode?
She technically would fail a driving exam for such behavior, as would many drivers for other common driving inattentiveness.
She was stopped and often drivers while stopped take time to adjust temperature, check navigation , sip a beverage etc... all reasonable activities. A delay at the light is not a major danger to others. $50 plus the hassle of getting pulled over and insurance implications should be enough wake up call to her and others.
The lady lied or is unfit to drive if she thinks checking time takes so long. She was likely checking other stuff perhaps weather , messages etc...
A video camera in front seat along with modest barrier can help deter altercations for modest cost. Drivers use video cams for determining faults in accidents e.g rear / front. Barriers won't stop bullets but they can make it tough for physical attacks including knives.
Wait for the details on what led to the shooting. The driver does not appear to be a paranoid vigilante patroling his neighborhood. The driver may have snapped or conversely was threatened. But without video , audio and explanation hard to assess.
Unbelievable, countries with regimes that thrive on freedom of information would resort to such propaganda tactics. Satellite imagery was objectively analyzed for detecting WMD in iRaq after all.
Freedom of thought is something the West should be happy to share. While some students will return to their repressive governments and be exploited to Western economic detriment they are hope for change from within else we have more North Korea totalitarian regimes. Further, if we can move past this zero sum game economics, tech advances can benefit the broader global socioeconomics. Many advanced educated foreigners would like to stay, if they are good perhaps should accommodate.
Google Execs should be using Google services and learning how to improve. The story was presented poorly that a gullible Exec purchase led to a revelation about a widespread and known scam problems. In Japan, the news regularly posts stories about consumers chasing deals to good to be true then stuff never arrives. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Google should have indicated they were monitoring scam reports which happened to include on from its own employees ( not an Exec should not matter level). Anyway, Google will be learning from this experience and benchmark what others do to curtail to improve their services. I have not tried this service from Google much like the other sites even Mercari that have mostly legit stuff since requires a lot of effort for the modest purchases I would consider for such channels. If you have time / energy can save / earn but factor in the effort/ risk. I will someday soon now explore Google for search comparisons
The Japanese company SoftBank, just made a purchase of a 30% of Flipkart last August (2017) for $2.5 Billion
Within 10 months, SoftBank made an over 100% profit over that investment when it was sold to Walmart
Win some lose some. SBG Snapdeal not going as well but maybe they can salvage that to Amazon:)
I doubt BLU knew of this exploit by Adups but should be a wake up call for low tier product sourcing from China. Not a big surprise, this is how BLU could offer such low cost mobile devices.
T-mint would be similar scale to the big 2. If regulators block then should evaluate splitting the big 2 which are currently about 2X the #3 & #4 carriers. Sprints debt and cash flow challenges pushes it Towards the auction block with few other willing and capable suitors. It will be interesting to see how the regulators respond since if they block it, expect T-Mobile and Sprint to turn tables and point at the big 2. So expect the big 2 to not oppose the merger of 3+4.
The Panel factory by itself is not the main concern, it is the precedent to allow others similar access, eventually could(x years, decades, minutes ?) reach detrimental extraction levels. So put in place supply / demand cost factors. Surrounding states agree to their levels. Can address the issue without delaying the factory.
Coincidentally Tump might have called it , Kim rumored to have health issues. This could help drive a change of heart or liver or whatever ails him. Perhaps desires accesss to Western medicine or needs to bide time etc... My guess based on his very obese body and pics of him smoking he has something like diabetes.
Anyway have to wait and see. So far the usual propaganda theatrics.
Seems Sprint walked away last time since wanted control and / or closer to $8 - $9 per share. Now rumor valuation around $6 - $6.50. So much for holding the strategic investment which was undervalued ? A combination seems logical can cut a lot of overlapping functions , site costs etc and reduce undercutting each other. Best of luck. A stronger #3 will be able to roll out new tech such as 5G sooner.
A totalitarian slave state is not likely going to give up its survival means. More likely a ruse to lift sanctions that will then falter. Of course need to play along on the remote chance progress might occur but should hedge that outcome. E.g Seoul residents should migrate further away from border.
Amazon will lose some subscribers but their models guesses more will accept to offset. So far Amazon guess write often. Still some folks may wake up and realize they donâ(TM)t use enough.
Early bird gets the worm or second mouse gets the cheese. Depends on situation whether being first or second better.
Perhaps the West will get a chance to leap frog China refining their development learning curve like the Japanese, Korean and Chinese did in electronics and autos did at first then some became better (e.g. Toyota, Samsung).
While fuel inexpensive and production optimized for petrol vehicles the West harder to justify the conversion while tech still relatively expensive.
The West especially US should be careful to align with global supply chain progress or risk getting left behind, so waiting to long has itâ(TM)s downfalls too vs the bleeding edge early adoption premium.
Anyway China should get the favorable recognition for their electric vehicles progress. It is positive for most even non Chinese.
âoeTraditional recycling: I'll sell my old iphone to someone who wants it.
This recycling: I'll give back my device to apple, feeling good in the process, so apple can sell more brand new devices, eliminating the 2nd hand market.â
Appleâ(TM)s program is appropriately named recycle and reuse. Apple typically outsources the reuse resale function such as Brightstar in some markets. For devices which have a high enough market demand price devices are resold for reuse. Most operational devices but there comes a point Where demand drops, devices beyond economical repair but still have part salvage value. A robot improving part recovery helps overall economics so a welcome benefit. The salvage companies mainly will get squeezed out. Direct resale from person to person can offer best economics but requires effort and trust.
For some locations this may be somewhat economical and provide some diversification risk mitigation. Saudi Arabia might like to import less food, use less water producing. It may not be a large paradigm shift anytime soon but economics with tech improving.
Plenty is trying to drum-up business so their claims reflect optimism accordingly.
Climate volatility and conflicts probably will help push further developments.
While a nice gesture and the non-China supply chain should welcome it is relatively modest and probably a scouting test to see how China responds. China can finds ways to enlighten US of ramifications. If US consulted with China first and they conceded as a tiny pawn for US political appeasement with understanding donâ(TM)t get carried away this might be tolerated but doubt it. There are to many interests with friction on both sides to balance delicately with very different governance systems that conflicts hard to avoid but hopefully both sides acknowledge and settle on pragmatic compromises before our economies get jolted dramatically.
Sennheiser Orpheus HE 90, electrostatic special connection. Very expensive setup relatively. Unique sound.
I am open to new connections but wireless codecs and batteries still an issue for me.

Don't upset the Apple cart? Wonder how far Apple evaluated their own SNS FB alternative? Seems time might be ripe to trip the FB giant.

Away wars that were deemed worth abandoning not unconditional surrender.
