Donald Trump can't legally do what he proposes, he's just saying it to get the crowds worked up. It's more realistic to restrict immigration from a country than by passing a religion test for entry. But Trump doesn't think that far ahead, I think he makes all his stuff up on the spot.
How freaked out did wall street companies get in the 60s when the phone lines went out? Did that make them telecommunications companies or just companies that used telecommunications?
But you can get that income without Airbnb. All it's done is be one of a few companies to provide a central location to advertise the services on phones. The short term rental market has existed for ages. Yes, it may be handy for those who never look up from the phone but it's certainly not very innovative.
They have an "app". This is just a complex piece of modern engineering that no one can understand how they work not even the people who create them. So complex that you can even earn certificates to learn how to make them.
To a journalist, "tech company" means two things. First, it's complicated and it would take too long to describe what it is to your grandma. Second, it's practically guaranteed(*) to make oodles of money any day now.
(*) Journalist is not responsible for monetary losses due to gullibility of the readers.
Possibly not. But Google actually builds stuff. They have phones and tablets. They went and built up their own servers instead of renting space from a cloud company, and they were even innovative about how to build those servers.
If airbnb is a tech company then the term has been dumbed down so much that it is meaningless.
Agreed here. This is mass media, they think anything that involves a computer or an "app" is tech. It's stupid. Is everyone who makes a pod cast a tech worker? How about the person who takes off her clothes for money on the internet, is that a tech worker?
Why isn't the company that works on drilling technology for the oil industry called a "tech company"? If I make machines to put vegetables into cans on an assembly line, am I a tech worker because I am actually creating new technologies?
Imagine if they did that for mathematics, would someone working on cryptography be called a chalkboard worker who could get a job with the chalkboard industry? Why is Hadoop called a technology? A database is possibly technology, a network protocol and media connecting to that database is possibly technology, and an algorithm is mathematics. So using a database over a network to apply an algorithm is much more about mathematics than technology.
So why is it that all these companies with nothing more than a server on the internet and a web presence or app interface are "tech" companies? Airbnb is as low tech as they come, even if they may have Jimmy in the basement who does some fancy stuff to keep the servers responsive.
What's wrong with how we used to do it in the past? We had computer companies, software companies, engineering companies, and so forth.
The constitution signed by Kalkaua is what I was referring to. The Committee of Safety are often seen as the bad guys. Sure the history may be in dispute but always look at both sides and not just what the high school history books say.
Generally within the United States there is due process for the taking of the land and fair compensation provided (fair being a loose term but generally prevailing costs of similar land apply even if the owner was hoping to build a rich casino there someday). For Mauna Kea this does not seem to have been the case.
Do you define culture in terms of technology? The internal affair was between native Hawaiians and relatively recently arrived Americans. The first constitution was instituted by force and granted most power to rich white settlers, and the kingdom overthrown later with the help of U.S. Marines. So it's difficult to call that a strictly internal affair.
Hawaiian culture was not very backwards. We did not do them any favors by moving in, setting up plantations, and deposing their government. But that's the American way: send in a bunch of gringos, wait a few years, gringos complain that their American rights are being ignored, send troops or money to support their struggle for dominance/independence.
Addendum, in some places there is not good connectivity but there happens to be cellular data coverage so an expensive phone plan may be used to get data from a device to the back office. Of course there's security. But a lot of companies want to get rid of expensive leased telephone lines and choose something slightly less expensive.
They call it IoT even if it's on a private network. It happens to use IPv4/IPV6 so it's "internet" as far as executives are concerned. Some part of the back haul link may be on the actual internet as well.
The problem is that "IoT" is a poorly defined concept.
Because it is amazingly expensive to send a union technician on a 100 mile road to see if the turbine is still spinning or not. I work with smart meters, and electric utilities get really annoyed if they have to send a tech out to look at a meter that's only a couple miles away.
Yes, a lot of things just want to be able to report if they are malfunctioning or not. Once you do that though you end up with feature creep. Now they want to know turbine temperature every minute with less than a minute lag over a PLC link.
The problem is that there are really good reasons for IoT stuff, and yet all of the hype is over stuff that's utterly irrelevant. Consumer IoT is just stupid in my mind, and most of that stuff isn't really IoT if it's just a bluetooth connection to a phone but everyone wants to slap on that label. But IoT has been around a long time, for things like smart meters, traffic cameras, and so forth. Back in the 80s I had a job interview for devices that were meant to be put in the middle of nowhere that would transmit sensor readings up to satellites. The need is there, it just needs to get out of fantasy land and into reality.
Eminent domain is always used by the one percenters to get land that they wish to have but do not wish to pay for. All they have to do is promise a few jobs in return to work on that stolen land.
Permission? Can I build a telescope in your back yard, I won't need any permission because it's just land. If you complain I can just get the government to steal it, it's all legal if the government does it. We're bring civilization to your backyard so you should be grateful.

Bad-Reputation-Online.
But give glasses to a politician and they still can't find their own nuts.
Craigslist? This stuff all existed before airbnb, before the internet, etc.
What technology? A phone app is not technology. The phone is the technology.

Sure, all sorts of cultures do this. That is no reason to excuse the behavior or dismiss it as just Hawaiians getting madder than they should be.

Right, which means people on the autistic spectrum will get all of the good tech jobs and leave nothing for anyone else.

So, longer than the United States or its white colonies have existed. And longer than Europe has had any sensible form of civilization.
