So, maybe Amazon might want to consider selling to prime members their own personal "Amazon locker" mortise style locks and, separately, lockers. Following the notion from Abloy Cliq key powered electromechanical locks, the locker lock "key" could provide both power and (after confirming that it's powering an Amazon lock) a connection to an Amazon app, allowing Amazon's server to unlock it, which would be done for the delivery driver or for the owner (identity verified by the app). An owner who is displeased with the system, could remove the Amazon lock (when the box is unlocked) and do other things with the locker. Amazon might require a deposit that gets paid back on return of the lock & key. Or, Amazon could have a driver come reclaim the lock rather than delivering anything.
Why do we have patents and copyright? To reward those who invest a lot of expensive effort find and creating new and better things.
Bullshit. Investment in R&D is its own reward. No private concern invests in R&D for the benefit of others. The patent system was created so that people could license the use of patented ideas rather than having to reinvent what was already invented elsewhere but held as a trade secret.
Probably the patent system should take into account the rate of innovation (directly proportional to population) and make the duration of patents inversely proportional to the rate of innovation (since licensing the design of the wheel for a long time provides less value to society if you have 10 times as many people able to reinvent the wheel).
I hope they also replace the management with AI. I'll be happy when the CIA AIs understand the Code of Federal Regulations well enough to tell the humans "None of your goddamned business," when those humans try to misuse the surveillance.
On the other hand, Tesla just found out the hard way that replacing people with automation doesn't always work out. But, I expect that it seemed like it would work out before they made the attempt. So, I wonder how many more of these predicted replacements of people turn out to be more successful in theory than in practice.
If it's the first atom you measure around, you might be kind of excited, but after a while the excitement wears off and they all start to seem the same.
Dear Internet services companies, here's the plan. You move offshore. We'll get VPNs. Citizen idiots will continue to vote in idiot politicians who will continue to make idiotic laws.
People who make money from porn and also believe it's valuable to protect children might want be funding this organization in a big way. I have the impression that people exist who have made a fair amount of money from porn.
I think that's what they are doing when they make their site inaccessible to people with German IP addresses. They're leaving the Germans alone. Those Germans who employ the use of a VPN to reach Project Gutenberg have found solution to their problem. It may not be a final solution, but perhaps you could think of it as cofinal.
It doesn't necessarily require infiltration. Investors focused on short term gains are quite plentiful in USA and have been harming companies here for many years. A number of years ago, I read that companies in Japan can take a longer route to profitability because banks are allowed to be investors there, and the Japanese banks are willing to be focused on the long term. Here, when banks are allowed to be investors, they gamble like drunken 20-year-olds and get bailed out by the government, as they've found that investing in politicians pays off better in the short run than long term planning ever could.
They're also in Iceland for the same reason aluminum smelting is. The geothermally generated electrical power there is very inexpensive. Residential consumption is only 4% of the power generated in Iceland.
As with every other aircraft, aircraft designed to do this job would need to be designed in such a manner as to do it successfully. One possibility is that the plane could open up like an AN-124 and the passenger modules could be loaded longitudinally.
There would be no need for the passenger module to have a front or a back end while it's on board the aircraft, emergency exiting could easily be the same as for current aircraft.
The departing seating module is in the gate waiting area, with polycarbonate rounded sides raised like gull wings. Customers board in parallel, stowing luggage in compartments above and below the seats. A few minutes before the plane arrives at the gate, the final boarding call process occurs, and the polycarbonate sides slowly close and latch. Then the plane lands, the arriving seating module is removed, the departing seating module is inserted into the plane, and the plane takes off again. Meanwhile, the arriving seating module is placed in the gate waiting area. The sides raise, and customers exit in parallel. People who forget something go back and check, as the seating module will be there for a while. The module is cleaned and readied for boarding prior to the next departure. Efficiency people love how the boarding and waiting-at-the-gate times are combined. Airline profit watchers love how little time the planes spend on the ground.
Perhaps a card could have it's functionality oriented in the opposite direction and function based on what it receives. It could self encrypt the data with a resident public key, and play it back so long as it can receive a requested private key via WPA2 connection to an external device (eg your phone). People with phone confiscation worries could use the phone as a fragile conduit to a remote key server.
It was kind of amusing to see this article about people staying indoors shortly after the one about an indoor rainforest environment being built in Seattle. I suppose it's not a temperate rainforest like the Hoh, and they don't have the actual rainfall one frequently encounters just outside the doors. But, still, nothing says "we're avoiding the outdoors" like creating an indoor rainforest in a rainy city.
This reuters article suggests that they want to build a national 5G network, but not that they want to take over networks built by private carriers.
I'd like to see a 5G speed network built that is just a dumb pipe for IP. Then, they could use the same security for VOIP as is used with the wired internet. What's the point to a 5G "cellular telephone" network? The bandwidth is overkill for voice. If they just provide a dumb pipe, secure data communication is as solved a problem as anything they're going to come up with. The big problem is the name. I'm sure Trump won't want to put money towards anything with "Dumb" in the name.

If buying two is easy, why wasn't it successful?
Yes, my thought was that ownership also be transferred offshore.

I have read that Amazon Basics NiMH are also rebadged Eneloops.
How will they create Spring? Did Jha hire Jadis of Charn?
Perhaps MS could sell me a nice proprietary version of Wine.

I think of computers in public and school libraries, where individual accounts are required even if they appear to be throw away ones.

So, you're saying "... and the end always seems to be ... " when you've got a previous experience of one instance and a claim that this is the second?
