No single cell batteries are "smart". Removable cells with exposed contacts usually have a simple over/under voltage and over current cut off protection circuit. The smarts are there for cell balancing. The ones that have the columb counters built in are still only approximate and only have an advantage when you constantly change the battery. There is no reason the phone can't have accurate charge level detection after only a few charge-discharge cycles.
Equifax's core competence is providing network services for sensitive data. In what universe does that not imply the need for security?
There's far more valuable information kept by governments than private companies. Imagine how much someone would pay for even a partial dump of the IRS databases, or one several years old? Personal financial information for an entire country. Enough information to find the people with the biggest bank balances and all the identifying information you'd need to convince their bank you are them.
Either you're confused or your inability to grasp the english language has turned what I'm sure made sense in your head into gibberish as you typed it.
Who built a rocket that rivals North Korea's efforts? Mike Hughes hasn't launched anything, North Korea has launched rockets out of the atmosphere. Not surprising from someone who doesn't believe in GPS or aeroplanes. You know, things that require a spherical earth to do what they do every day. Someone who bases his beliefs on "If the earth was round, Australia would be upside down and its oceans would fall to its sky"
They sucked you in to their free service, before facebook was popular. MySpace wasn't really appropriate for work colleagues and other professional relationships.
They then made a mobile web site and redirected all mobile users to that site, to keep you investing your time and using their service
Then they removed the mobile website and redirect you to install their app, which you can't install without giving it permission to access to all your contacts. When you log in to the app, it uploads all your contacts.
They tell the people running the bots they're banned from their website, but have nothing to physically stop them.
After telling them "you're not allowed to access our public website" they then try to get them prosecuted for illegally accessing a computer system when they keep doing it.
Unless you're the largest organisation in the country - the Government. Then you should have the resources to run your own shit. You shouldn't have to farm out your core services, with all the sensitive data that goes with it, to a third party.
If you only run your own hardware, you need to maintain enough capacity for your absolute peak. If you're a big online retailer, that means you need yuge capacity for cyber monday and other such times.
You'll end up like Amazon, building massive data centres that sit idle for 300+ days a year. Until someone has an idea they can rent those machines out when they're not using then. AWS was born. Not saying it's a bad thing to be like Amazon, but that cloud market is getting saturated, so you'll probably never get back your investment.
Not to mention all the specialist staff you'll need to hire to keep it all running.
Using someone else's electricity is completely different.
Using someone else's safe is sort of the same. You have to trust completely that the other person who has a key doesn't give it to anyone else. If they did you wouldn't know, because you can't physically guard the safe yourself.
could be worse... since you'd need a geostationary orbit so the wire doesn't get pulled off, some poor bugger would have to climb all the way up 36,000km of cable if it needed repair at the top.
In terms of the power used for me to watch it at home, 1.3W wouldn't even power the fibre terminator bringing the internet connection to my house. Then there's the router, the network switch, the wireless AP, my laptop... It's probably at least 50W
My phone uses more than that watching a video, let alone streaming it over wifi.
Of course that 1.3W isn't going to include any of the electrical cost to send the data all over the world though. I assume it's only the cost of powering their data centres divided by the number of concurrent streams.
it's a rounding error 5.967 million kWh is about 6GWh Bitcoin uses 29,000GWh according to PowerCompare.co.uk, other estimates are higher. That's about 0.02%
It already is like kickstarter isn't it? They determine some goals, it gets funded way past what they said it really needed, then nothing really happens and if it eventually does, the delivery is late and a few of the promises have been broken.

Care to share some examples of these devices?
and a big fuck you to everyone who used WhatsApp before Facebook bought it because they didn't want to use Facebook Messenger.
Some countries believe customer data is actually owned by the customer. If you want to do something with it, the customer needs to agree.
They frown upon companies who buy other companies for their data and use it for other purposes without consent.
America doesn't care though, they believe companies have more rights than individuals.

Congratulations, active user number 12.

I think they've already tried that
They tell the people running the bots they're banned from their website, but have nothing to physically stop them.

Why migrate a whole bunch of users to another service, when most of them don't use it?
How many people actually use AIM?
So why are all the major breaches private or public companies?
When was the last time someone hacked the IRS and stole everyone's social security numbers?
They didn't. Equifax gave all that data away.

wall-street has their reasons for it.

It's just using someone else's computer.
It's accurate. According to retdec.com, RetDec only supports 32bit architectures.

Isn't 24AWG more common?
That's what they used for the old cat3 phone lines. Sometimes as thin as 28AWG, but I didn't think it went down to 22.
PIC32 and MIPS!
It's like a PIC32 isn't actually a MIPS based MCU.... oh wait, it is.
1.3W to stream a video is pretty good.
In terms of the power used for me to watch it at home, 1.3W wouldn't even power the fibre terminator bringing the internet connection to my house.

There are satellites already in orbit that use ion thrusters to keep them in the right orbit.
