Just send me all your account information, particularly for banking and credit cards. I'll personally lock your shit down so tight that you won't ever be able to get into it again.
I'm guessing you didn't notice that the Nikola One uses its hydrogen powered generator to charge on-board lithium ion batteries before you typed out that rant.
Funny how certain you are about what the details must be. Facebook hasn't released details on what information the employee accessed, so you're either the stalker who was fired or you're making it all up because your knee-jerk reaction is to accuse the victim.
Your later comment put the list price of the headset you bought a decade ago at $1200-$1400 (2x the intro price you quoted). That headset did not include a built-in computer, either, and had to be connected to one (so add another $1000 or more to that cost).
My question is "how the fuck are you surprised a $200 standalone headset doesn't match the specs of $2200 ($2800 if you adjust for inflation) worth of equipment?"
Yes, they have created the most advanced vertical landing rocket that we've seen so far. That is a big accomplishment.
The comment I was responded to was trying to imply that they'd done something nobody else had ever done before, however, thus the examples I gave of how it had been done even if the implementations weren't as refined.
And, by the way, moving the goalposts is not a good thing to do in a discussion. Go re-read the comment I originally replied to. Demanding that my examples meet an expectation that you arbitrarily added which were not in the original post is silly and unproductive.
The technology for vertically landing a rocket was in its infancy in the 60s, but it was there. It was developed and refined further as time went on (as shown by the examples given). What the current companies are doing is a further development and refinement.
SpaceX didn't start from scratch and create something nobody else had ever done (which is what the comment I replied to suggested). They created an improved version that works better than the ones that came before.
If you insist on are more fully rocket-like technology, then take a look at the McDonnell Douglas DC-X (and NASA's subsequent DC-XA). Blue Origin (who beat SpaceX to a vertical landing by a private company) hired a number of the DC-X project engineers and the New Shepard vehicle was at least partly based on the DC-X.
There's an entire history of the development of vertical takeoff and landing technology being developed, so yeah... SpaceX didn't invent anything new by making a rocket (actually a booster) that lands vertically. They refined and enhanced what had already come before. That's how technological advancement works.
You're the only person it's not clear to. There's only one FBI investigation of Trump going on and it includes Russian interference in the election. Flynn was stumping for Trump and meeting with the Russian Ambassador, so yes, he was caught up in that investigation.
And I'm now done explaining the blindingly obvious to an idiot who insists on trying to find some technicality to make his arguments right. It's clear you aren't going to stop and you aren't willing to accept that you're making a fool of yourself in public. Have fun continuing the argument by yourself.
Stop pretending that I didn't mean the entire investigation. It's a stupid strawman argument that you're using to try and make yourself feel like you were somehow right about wildly misinterpreting what should have been obvious to you. And it's not working. You're just making yourself look worse with every post.
And why would you think Trump is the only person who would be surveilled? He's not the entire organization that ran his election. In fact,19 people besides Trump have been indicted so far in the course of the investigation. It's not unlikely that some of the information used to indict them was obtained through FISA orders.
Ants have been around over 100 million years. They have a complex social structure and job specialization. They farm fungus and aphids for food. They build vast homes that are essentially cities. They don't have art that we known of and they don't have technology unless you count building bridges and towers using their own bodies, but they've got most of the other attributes of what we call civilization.
Silicon Valley Investors want to capitalize on the current wave of hate for Facebook to create a replacement that will make a lot of money.
Also, we should all trust that the investors will be happy with small returns on their investment and won't make demands later on which would force the replacement to perform the same Orwellian profit-seeking behavior that Facebook is hated for.
There was a period around 20 years ago when Lycos' search engine was screwed up and would occasionally return someone else's search results to you, which amused me. That happened while I was searching for "taro root" and there was a blog with an interesting name in the results. I wound up reading it and exchanged emails with the blogger and we became best friends. Over 20 years later, we're still close.
Has anyone really been far as decided to use proper grammar to do look more like? You've got to be kidding me. I've seen people even more decided to use incoherent political diatrabes even go need to do look more as anyone can in goddamn food reviews. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that?
Not that I disagree with the ruling about phone listings, but my Facebook profile lists my job as rocket surgeon and most of the other information there is equally fictional. There can be a fair amount of creativity in what would otherwise just be listings of factual data.
Re-read my comment. I said. "Huawei's market share in the US is microscopic" not that their global market share is small.
Huawei is a successful global company and the US is a microscopic part of their global sales. We don't add enough to their bottom line for them to continue bothering with us if we're just going to keep adding obstacles to prevent them from growing their business here.
Huawei's market share in the US is microscopic at best. Most carriers don't offer their products and Congress has recommended against working with them for years. With the FTC looking to block subsidized carriers from working with them, the US market simply isn't worth the effort and expense anymore.
You don't understand how triangulation works, do you? One point of reference doesn't tell you where you are. At best, it tells you how far away you are from that point of reference.

Catching criminals is a side effect. The main purpose is to create justification to investigate anyone they want.

Way to miss the point.

You don't really understand what "refined and enhanced" means, do you?
What part of "go to a public place" made you think you would be in a private place where nobody would know you had been there?
Public places are not private. Finding your DNA in a public place doesn't destroy your privacy any more than people seeing you in a public place does.
NASA developed vertical landing technology for the Apollo Lunar Module. Yes, that was on the moon, but the technology was tested on Earth prior to sending it to the moon.
If you insist on are more fully rocket-like technology, then take a look at the McDonnell Douglas DC-X (and NASA's subsequent DC-XA). Blue Origin (who beat SpaceX to a vertical landing by a private company) hired a number of the DC-X project engineers and the New Shepard vehicle was at least partly based on the DC-X.

Or it could be that the FBI is investigating trump and the FISA court wants to make damn sure they're on solid ground when they approve an order.

Clearly a two year old post from /r/conspiracy with no supporting proof or citations is a 100% unassailable source for the truth.

You might want to look up the golden age of electric vehicles and Michael Aldrich.
