The Taiwanese Flag is also the Chinese National Flag... pre-Communist revolution. The Taiwanese government claims continuity with the pre-Communist government. Hence, to mainland China, it is very much like Delaware wanted to keep flying the Union Jack in 1830.
Wanna bet? It's IP. In the new AT&T world, expect a dozen spin off series with 1/50th the budget. Think Star Wars Christmas Special stuff, but financed by a company with billions to lose.
Layoffs (post-merger) occur because of redundancy. while no doubt DirectTV and HBO Go have an overlap in the billing/account management side, AT&T doesn't have any content creation people to make the HBO folks redundant. And the plan he outlined are going to require more workers, not less.
I mean, they'll all be out of a job in six years or so, because it seems like HBO is going to be ruined, but not from layoffs.
Oh, they'll probably fuck up GoT and other excellent shows by spending less on them. But the total spending will go up. Cause they're gonna wanna 10x the amount of original programming.
Well, they're talking about "broadening their viewership" So goodbye John Oliver. And Game of Thrones is too expensive if you need to produce several hours a day.
Oh, I agree in general. However, they're going to be so busy ruining HBO, they'll need all the bodies they can get. That part rings true, at least for now.
I doubt there will be any layoffs. AT&T announced at the meeting they don't have people to do the jobs and there wouldn't be layoffs. But it's worse than that. They're trying to turn HBO from a boutique content provider to one that supplies "hours of engagement a day" to a "broadened audience" and "provides data and [opportunities] for targeted advertising." So they're gonna kill the golden goose because they don't know what they bought, and turn it into an also-ran cable channel with 90% trash.
Yeah, it only has 30% of households in the US as subscribers (via teh AT&T CEO), which isn't enough. Also, just selling a product isn't enough. You need hours of engagement per day so you can collect data and deliver targeted advertisements. If there was a way to short just HBO, I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's going to lose a lot of money overspending for six years or so, and in doing so lose it's current subscriber base
Figure it gets broken out in a firesale to Disney/Comcast in 2025.
In 1770, there was chess-playing robot called "the Turk", or the "Mechanical Turk." (It was in Austro-Hungrian, but stylized like a Turk). It was excellent at playing, and defeated Ben Franklin and Napoleon.
Of course, secreted within the metal frame was an excellent human player. Now, Amazon has a service called Mechanical Turk where you can employ people to act as faux AI.
That plan doesn't make sense. They are selling an all you can stream service. And, there are probably only 1 orr 2 winners in India. So, spending on being 2nd, not 3rd, or 1st, not 2nd is worth far more than the additional revenue that it brings in.
Which is to say, shotgun money (since both have nigh-infinite cash) at anything that sounds interested, and then use metrics to renew shows or not.
I'm confused. Why do you think it's easier to write JS code with maintainability and among multiple people? C++ allows for far better isolation in, e.g. compiler enforced interfaces. Granted, if you want to work with multiple threads, you can get timing errors, but that's just that feature. If you programmed a long time ago, you may not be away that the revisions (and templates before that) allowed things like auto-sizing arrays.
You can write really great code, short and powerful. You can also write really bad code. In this way it's similar to other languages. However, I've found it far easier to write multiperson, maintainable code in C++ than in JavaScript.
It does suffer some from things like iterators and safe pointers being added... 1/2 way through it's lifecycle. And therefore, they are less clear than they could be.
Well, the colonizing countries had strong and increasing national unification going, effective international coordination (from the Pope), solid industrial/economic bases with governments generating surpluses, recovery from the black death, and a resurgence in the use of science to make predictions as opposed to be guided by 2000 year old documents. With the exception of not having the plague, which of those are we doing now?
I think you were trying to be sarcastic, buEurope did get it's shit together before exploring. I mean, the Vikings were in the Americas first, and look how well that did for them.
Some changes affect ranking; improving the algorithm, bringing you even better results
See, here's the thing. You don't have to explain adn sell me on your change (unlike an application developer). But if
I had the choice of Google's 2005 search algorithm (obviously, with modern webcrawling) or the 2018 search algorithm, I'd be tempted by 2005. At least it feels like the results then were just plain better. Which is to say, I believe you're changing the algorithm, but I don't believe you're improvising it
However, with an local program, I can use an old version as long as I want, adjusting to it's bugs (obvious exceptions for security aside).
I'm confused, are these the Panasonic batteries Tesla uses, or are these produced by and is the IP owned by, Tesla? I'm trying to figure out which company owns what...
Going into space would be nice, but it's not an end-goal. It's a consequence of having our shit together on earth. And getting our shit together also improves 7 billion lives.
Ivanka's trademarks came through, sure. Also, the Trump Organization got a 500 million dollar "loan" from Chinese banks.
I doubt the trademarks were anything but the wrapping paper. After all, a lot of her trademarks came through right before the first meeting POTUS and Xi had.
You're assuming factoring the number is required. There are other ways to crack RSA. These may be stupider on a regular computer, but work well on a quantum one.

HBO is pretty good about producing new shows, so that as X ends, Y is there and replaces it, etc.

A colder winter than normal is irrelevant though. You correctly pointed out that's due to gulf stream changes. Whereas the heating is worldwide.

If they have enough programmer-volunteers, it might make sense
GMail was innovative in giving people a gig of space instead of 10 megs. But that's not brilliance, just spending .

Why LibreOffice over OpenOffice? (Serious question, I never knew which to choose, so I just flipped a coin.)
