The OnePlus 6T will largely offer the same specs as its predecessor -- the OnePlus 6, which was launched earlier this year. Some of the key changes include a smaller notch on the front display and a built-in fingerprint scanner that is embedded in it.
The 6 had a headphone jack, and the 6T doesn't. That's worth mentioning in TFS (if not the headline).
Maybe my worry is overblown, the marketplace isn't exactly overflowing with active cables to accommodate those devices that shipped with host-only USB-C. A quick survey of motherboards now shipping with type-C shows that most do not mention dual mode so I presume they don't have it. That's going to cause confusion and annoyance.
I-phone dropped from 4% of India a few years ago to 1% today. Meanwhile India's economy is booming. It's because I-phone doesn't deliver value, it's just a fashion bauble for gullible people with bad taste in fashion.
If you want to get ahead in business these days you learn data science, nobody cares if you know Excel or not. You get the same cred for knowing any spreadsheet, Google sheets, Libreoffice Calc or whatever. Learn Word if you want to get a job as a secretary, otherwise any modern document editor gives you equivalent cred. Knowing Google docs would be a whole lot more important for your kids employment prospects than Word.
Sounds like you're still stuck in the 90's. Don't believe me? Search for Excel on dice.com. Then search for Python, or any number of other skills that are actually in demand.
The reason why you'd want to go with Windows is that that's probably what most of them will need to use when they enter the workforce.
The 1990's called and wants its spreadsheet monkey back. Sorry, but Word and Excel is not what business people do these days, now it is networking with Slack and online Collab, 99% browser stuff. Been sleeping for a long time?
"Africa was the world’s fastest-growing continent at 5.6% a year, and GDP is expected to rise by an average of over 6% a year between 2013 and 2023.[3][8] In 2017, the African Development Bank reported Africa to be the world’s second-fastest growing economy, and estimates that average growth will rebound to 3.4% in 2017, while growth is expected to increase by 4.3% in 2018.

You better lay off those magic mushrooms. I-phone is MIA in India with 1% market share. Not much better in China with 8%, down from 15%. Android totally dominating.
I-phone has 8% of the Chinese smartphone market compared to Huawei 25%, Oppo 19%, Vivo 18%, Xiaomi 13%. So, yah, crushed, and too bad because China was 33% of global I-phone revenue.
So much for Redhat's fight against software patents, IBM is the biggest patent troll of them all. Traditionally goes easy on open source projects but some flipping idiot might decide at any time that monetizing patents is the new get rich quick scheme of the month.
So, there's an additional cable and a pulley to hoist the load ?
I believe he actually proposed two additional cables. But what does a factor of three matter when you're already in dreamland? I see that actual scientists have weighed in on this with ideas like beaming up microwave power, presumably because they can count on their fingers.
It's going to be the most expensive engineering project humanity has undertaken.
And the most useless, since it would be much easier to establish self-sufficient facilities on the moon so there is no need to lift anything except the most exotic, high value materials from Earth, well within the economics of rocketry. There isn't even a solid argument for lifting masses of humans into space, you can also make those on the moon.
And you said "they will ABSOLUTELY make back their cost of capital". You don't know that, it depends on the amount of capital. Again, good luck with that MBA.
Anyway, USB-C is certainly a welcome trend, including host-side USB-C. But now we are back to crossover cables, try to explain to a user why you can't just cable two computers together like you can with Ethernet. The isolated complaints will soon turn into a chorus.
If an elevator company can get the cost to orbit down to 35% of the market-owning competitor...
Keep in mind that we are comparing real, known costs of rocketry to fanciful imaginings. You don't actually know the true cost of a space elevator within a couple of orders of magnitude. For example, what is the manufacturing cost of the high strength material? You have no idea. Good luck with that MBA.
Pulled that one out of your ass? Upcoming SpaceX engines use H2 and Methane, which can be made by solar power and microbes respectively. And fuel is already a small cost component, about $200k per Falcon 9 launch. Orders of magnitude indeed.
with a big enough (okay, ridiculous) taper factor, you could build a space elevator out of kevlar. This stuff brings it out of the realm of ridiculous.
Not out of the realm of the ridiculous, just a different neighborhood of the realm of the ridiculous, you said so yourself.

This is about smoothing out solar and wind peak production, to take further share away from fossil fuel and nuclear.

Why was this modded redundant?
Because this interview was before the code of conduct was merged.

Liberated chromebooks neatly occupy the niche that netbooks did a decade ago.
Chromebook keyboards and screens are way better than netbooks of yore. BTW, you didn't mention battery life.

You sick fuck. Read this and stew in your hate.

Worse than Redhat's crushing, indifferent, incompetent bureaucracy? Maybe, but it's close.
So much for Redhat's fight against software patents, IBM is the biggest patent troll of them all. Traditionally goes easy on open source projects but some flipping idiot might decide at any time that monetizing patents is the new get rich quick scheme of the month.
Crushing I-phone in the two fastest growing markets in the world, China and India.

I meant, I hope you don't destroy anything with that MBA :)
Seems you're a bit susceptible to fantastical proposals.

So let's work some antigravity into the proposal, it's not much sillier.

You just need to kick back with a tall carbon nanotube smoothie right about now.

Not out of the realm of the ridiculous, just a different neighborhood of the realm of the ridiculous, you said so yourself.
The same way most elevators minimise power use? By using a counterweight, e.g. another elevator, going in the opposite direction.
Yah, um, right. How did that counterweight get up in the sky?
