I think you blew past anything taught in my high school when you hit "depreciating". That's college economics, that is. Which supports your statement, of course...
Oh, I think I see, you're arguing that not all of the rim-tread transmission is through the air in the tire and therefore not all the weight is supported by air pressure. Is that it?
Given that "contact patch" means "what's touching the ground", what else is transmitting force between the vehicle and the ground? The sidewalls transmit from the rims to the tread, sure, but in the end the tread transmits to the ground, right?
if it were a deliberate attempt to be sneaky one would expect it to be a little more subtle. Instead of using the same key for everything generate a random key, but embed it in the message in a recoverable way, for example.
Of course, they could be using this to make people _think_ it's too dumb to be deliberate. Hmmm....
I have never asserted there is no value provided except in regards to myself. I have particularly never asserted that there is no value to an app creator.
As the subscriber (and therefore the person actually ponying up some cash) I can say that there is nothing Apple is doing with regard to spotify that has 3 dollars a month value to me.
as far as I can tell, in the long run the difference between Asimov and Williamson's robots were that Asimov's decided that the psychological effects of keeping humans in padded cells constituted "harm".
Smith's character contended that the robot should have tried for the girl instead, implying that there's a factor to consider that would make the "should try to save" answer for the girl larger than for him. The simplest possibility is a multiplier, larger for kids than adults - call it the "life potential" multiplier - and the "should try to save" calculation becomes STTS = LP * p(success)
A human lifeguard, who has been raised in a similar environment, might have a similar belief in the LP factor and therefore go after the little girl, unless p(success) is really low. A robot which has not been programmed that way won't.
I doubt Netflix would do it, but the mere fact that someone's balance point for "I want the content including ads more than I want X dollars" has a negative X is not inherently ridiculous.
Ah, gotcha. I had interpreted it as meaning "you can't put any open software on it". Barring hardware-only enforcement of the radio restrictions (unlikely for economic reasons) I don't see a solution that doesn't have some proprietary unchangeable software, but I see your point.
plus, a free market requires that none of the players be big enough to unilaterally move the price, which is the exact opposite of the usual monopoly situation.

You assume it's going to actually happen. "Will you actually invoke article 50" is going to be a big question in the next UK elections.

That's not calculating the median age of car buyers, though, it's calculating the midpoint of the buying-car part of the human lifespan.

Indeed, I truly have no appreciation for that. If it works for you, great.
the app creator isn't paying the money.

and we're back to power and communications making them too big for that.
in what way does this make it easier for the next door neighbor to spy on you?

It means that DRM has unfixable weaknesses, because part of the path cannot be encrypted.

no, they'll be posting it in the next quarter's SEC filings :)
but they don't _want_ to (except maybe movie previews), they just put up with it.
No, there's a disadvantage because they won't be able to charge set top box rentals if customers can get a box from somewhere else.
seriously. How is that not half a million CFAA violations?
at a guess, difficulty getting more plutonium and fear of a launch accident spreading plutonium around.

it may give them an example of how to be polite when the other person is a bore, but is that really the same as teaching them?
since the summary explicitly mentions that one of the VMs is running OpenWRT, I'm unsure quite how you mean this. Can you explain?
