Right. The meat of the information is in the last paragraph of the press release. The rest is all 'market growth', 'strategic partnership', 'breakthrough', 'acceleration', and other B.S.
This piece of marketing hooey was particularly funny:
Some of the world’s dumbest electronics devices get smarter by becoming connected into cloud networks...
Oh, man. That's an interesting concept. So many images spring to mind.
Trucks use the highways. The highways are public, and anyone can send information across them in a truck. Packaging and content don't matter, really. That sounds to me like highway-telecommunications neutrality.
I think a similar analogy could be made about airspace and pigeons. Or swallows, or whatever you want to use to package your carrier-bird communications.
Nevertheless, if Verizon decided it was monetarily advantageous to use pigeons for communications, then you could be sure that Ajit Pai would still find a way to do whatever Verizon wanted, to classify the network in their favor.
Regarding Spicer, he seems to have been a really bad choice for the Press Secretary. Anyone who seizes-up trying to explain a mis-typed word is out of his/her element there.
They can re-skin the gauges with an update. It's not the *appearance* that is problematic, but rather all of the integration within a vehicle's systems (even though they will doubtless restrict it to non-critical systems).
I wonder if they are trying to get back to their claim as 'one of the best values in college education', by improving the average amount paid for a Rice degree. They sure have not been significantly more affordable than other universities for a while now.
You are not okay with some amount of copyright? Certainly not the 'copyright in perpetuity' that effectively exists in the U.S. for Mickey Mouse, etc. But some amount?
Yeah, that was an outstanding (I mean literally it "stands out") sequence of events. There were, what, a dozen Republican candidates in the primary? A stage FULL of actual Republican Party insiders in every debate. And Trump. No way in hell, right?
Could be that no other manufacturer of the drug is permitted to market it for the condition in question. See a post I wrote here. Not sure if this is what's happening here, but I suspect so.
In some previous instances of generic drugs, the situation has been that only one company is granted the license (or permit?) by the FDA to market the drug to treat a certain condition. Basically, anyone can produce drug 'X', but only one company can produce 'drug X permitted to treat ailment Y'. This nearly creates a monopoly for the treatment of ailment Y, because no other versions of X are permitted to treat Y, and there are either no other generic drugs other than X that could treat Y.
I suspect that is what's happening here, and that is why this guy can jack the price of his generic drug.

IANAL. That being said, I think internal lawyers would just have to have marked the memo as "Attorney-Client Privileged" to cause it to be so.
It's true. Google has very little experience with releasing search engines. We should totally believe him.
True.
Also, make fewer people.
Plus, how cool is it that the COO of a rocket company is named "Shotwell"?
An empty diaper would mean "excellent condition".
Most special interests think their pet cause will be better for them.
FTFY.
Yeah.
Besides: "Paging Barbara Streisand...is there a Barbara Streisand here?"
Regarding Spicer, he seems to have been a really bad choice for the Press Secretary. Anyone who seizes-up trying to explain a mis-typed word is out of his/her element there.
Indeed. Maybe the protagonist gets to come back as the contractor?
Also maybe the protagonist gets to launch his/her own business working on the same kind of stuff for more clients? Could be nice.
So, if you are in the U.S. and you know Cobol already, you might get a few years of employment out of it. However, such jobs will go overseas, too.
This.
You...don't sound like what I remember of the famous character "Archie Bunker". Just saying.
If you were there with Hack and Rupp, then I think tuition was a little higher than $2100/year. Maybe more like $14k. Still, good times.
I hope they aren't trying to start a law school. Geez.

Yep. You don't have an insurance carrier? Those lab tests will cost you $350.
What, you have coverage? Oh, the charge will be $29.95, onto your deductible.

Good old Uncle Todd. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, they were dismayed at the outcome.

A courageous dumpster fire.
That could NEVER happen. It has a sign on the sail that says "Keep Clear!" https://www.microtransat.org/2... /s
