I wonder if I'll ever get access to that speed (honestly, it seems unlikely, it's taken 3 years to get 15-25 mbps), hopefully by the time I do it will be only $50 for a router that can handle it though.
If you have any WiFi coverage problems, I'd still highly recommend a Unifi or two.
I had to install their app on a computer, and I think I need the same computer to update setting for anything past that.
I have 3 vlans, one for a VPN, one for normal use, and one unencrypted for guest access (simply so they don't need to ask the password), and I assume neighbor access too.
The very basic setup, one access point, one SSID can be done from a phone.
But we've already seen ingredient cost cutting and the result (Olive Garden). Sure, they'll try to find ways to engineer cheaper flavor, but I'm skeptical that a place like McDonald's is going to get notably worse. The trend has been the opposite even.
Certainly some chains will try to sell sawdust, but it already happens. FFS, Taco Bell wasn't even allowed to call their taco filling beef. The bottom of quality is being seeked out simultaneous to attempts to automate, but they are independent of each other for the most part (though there will perhaps be examples when a lower quality ingredient, or a less tasty one, is required for automation).
In three years, it replaces $36k of wages at $6/hour, it 90k at $15/hour (50*40=2000 hours/year).
Yeah, may year for both machines are possible, but also, maybe I want the $40k machine that replaces 2 people in half the space, so I can't also have extra throughput.
If that machine comes out at year three, I've lost money buying the first version.
Just go "enterprise", I got one of these https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/uni... with one of these https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/e... for $150 or so total, it really lights up my whole house, doesn't have lots of network names for different wireless frequencies, easily isolated guest network, super long range, and if I really wanted, I could add an outdoor one and light up my backyard too.
It wasn't perfect (you need a computer with some weird java app to seup and update the setup), but overall, I'm very happy with my results, and it didn't cost me much extra over a mid-range router ($150 vs $75).
The employee perks at Google are legendary, and they've always included an over-the-top holiday gift for every employee. In the past, the company has surprised its 70,000 employees with Nexus phones, Android smartwatches, and Chromebooks.
I am saying those seem like relatively normal employee gifts for companies that give them.
I'm not calling a donation to charity a real gift.
I saw this first hand when I purchased an HP 49G calculator.
Many operations that would hang the 48G for seconds were instant.
If memory serves, they had the same processor, but the 49G had been optimized. When reading that it seemed like BS, but when using it, it was a shocking increase in speed.
In my state many bars have decided a passport card doesn't count. It's caused me trouble, because I often go out with a throw away credit card and my passport card, as there's nothing to really lose then.
Interesting, this was baked into Tivo back in the day.
You could pick a show, and pick "only new episodes" or "all episodes", the all episodes would pick-up syndication, only new would do the prime-time spot when it was new episodes season (occasionally capturing a rerun).
It would also auto scoop up with super low priority (would delete them for space, and scheduled recordings would over ride), shows you may like and all episodes of shows you liked.
I used to make a high priority for "new episodes" and a low for "all" of shows I watched.
Yes, but international sports can air at weird times (US standards) so a DVR makes sense (I know they have bars open super early for premier league games around here).
It seems to me similarly as different as Windows 7 and 10 to me.
Yes, the dock is still there, like the taskbar and start button in windows, but otherwise?
The look is different, the functioning is different (hit f11 in different version for a quick difference), aside from Windows 8, I'd say WIndows 95-10 is pretty consistent though.
Did KDE popup an update warning that went ahead and updated to a drastically new version when you clicked the close button?
That seems unlikely in a few ways (1 I'd expect FreeBSD to pop up the window if anywone, 2 I'd expect closing the window by clicking the X to not upgrade (the crux of this case I'd think).
1) Clearly this won't work overall (for example the under 21 issue), but that doesn't mean they won't modify it for general public. Unless the state and local laws allow them to treat a pre age verified amazon account as enough proof of age
2) Does Amazon have family accounts? That should handle the family situation for 12+, and if they don't, they probably should
3) Is it really gathering much more than the site? Amazon makes suggestions not just on what I've purchased, but what I've looked at.
4) depends where you are, cabbies can be the worst, but that depends on where you are, I don't really see why cash is a necessity in most stores for their success, this is certainly an area that other stores can advertise to try and compete, but I don't see it making a huge effect on the bottom line
5) I'm not going to defend or promote Amazon and their vertical integration, I'm simply saying it's not going to be the thing that bothers people in 2016
6) So it's like costco, but non club members can't even enter? doesn't seem like a huge negative, but probably something they should consider
7) I'm sure there will be some security when they open to the public, as long as it can detect unpurchased items crossing through, it won't really require human interaction to purchase, and the phone off trick won't work.
Also, it's in beta, maybe some of these (1,6,7) will be resolved before public open, or shortly afterwards. Either way, it definitely won't be for everybody, but neither is a box store in general, or we wouldn't see them closing left and right.
1) not sell them 2) don't know what you mean 3) the same way as on there website 4) I think that's part of the point, it's hardly a hurdle for uber 5) yes, and 100 years ago those connotations may have been in the collective consciousness in a real way 6) haven't watched the video, but that seems like a bad idea on their part 7) by not letting you purchase and having a greeter/security stop you.
Some of these will clearly be negatives, but they're betting on convenience and price being a good trade off. They don't need to be everything to everybody, they need to be something new to enough people to cover the extra overhead of a location with space for shoppers in a more prime location than a warehouse.
The medium long run is caravans of trucks, with a few drivers, probably three, for a a 24hour driving shift and one to sit behind with a disabled truck if part of the caravan is damaged.
There's still likely going to be value to a human overseeing millions of dollars if goods.
I suspect the actual list would be C B A (for people with cable), or B A C (for those without).
It only impacted sales by 10%, and I don't see people not paying for cable paying for shows (I type this as someone that has once, but probably won't again, the price was just too steep).
There's a lot of entertainment out there, and very little of it is must watch (which I'm defining as enough people in your social circle watch it knew that you need to watch it when you can talk about it).
Until online ads get the same money per viewer as TV ads it won't really work though (and I really don't get why they don't, in theory they should be more targeted and pay more).

Good to know.

Yeah, that set-up is easy peasy phone app.
I had to install their app on a computer, and I think I need the same computer to update setting for anything past that.

I'm not making that point at all, of course a robot can replace more than one person.
My point is minimum wage will adjust what price is profitable.
Of course a robot can replace more than one person, and sometimes in less space too, that was my point.
There are robots that aren't worth it to replace $6/hour, but are for $15.
That's fine, except you can up the price to $120k and have it replace three people them, and theatch still works out.
But we've already seen ingredient cost cutting and the result (Olive Garden). Sure, they'll try to find ways to engineer cheaper flavor, but I'm skeptical that a place like McDonald's is going to get notably worse. The trend has been the opposite even.

Why are they spending extra on food now just because they have employees?
People will be fine a few hundred years later.
There were definitely a lot of people not fine from the change.
It certainly didn't go well in France.

It actually seems like a pretty reasonable employee gift to me.
It's weird of them to not give their employees some of their own products though, make employees happy, and get people talking about the stuff.

TiVo did that for me (dial up days), did they remove that feature?
I hated being in New York (upstate) in the early 00s.
Yes, shitty beer at grocery stores, but I couldn't find a good beer anywhere, it was the worst Liquor system I've seen (short of dry counties).
I assume beer becoming trendy has made this a lot less of an issue over the last 10 - 15 years.
PA was a close second in shitty laws though.
Does it?

Personal time is worth more than work pay, but not billing I'd think.
also, your argument could be flipped, if personal time was worth more, why does anyone work?
clearly there's diminishing returns both ways.
OK, thanks.
