No. I was implying that if Apple had some sort of super battery and acquired beats, they could marry the super battery into the headphones so they were no longer as overrated and crappy.
We all know Ton..I mean, Elon, is bypassing traditional battery technology and finishing up work on his Arc Reactor. Must be for someone else - maybe Apple to tie into Beat headphones so they're not as crappy and overrated as they are now.
"$5 doesn't sound like much for a day of internet service in some contexts" - um, but it does in this one. Regardless of the cap, that's $150/month in addition to your home or other internet fees, assuming you drive once a day. Most people don't spend *that much time* in their vehicle, and there are laws to prevent drivers from say, watching media in many countries - so what's the urgent internet use that phones can't cover exactly? That warrants $5/day? The whole proposal is absurd to me.
"The U.S. departments of Commerce, State, and the Treasury"
Isn't this the same administration that is supposed to be supporting US business, and sanctioning Russia re: Ukraine?
I really hope the media and less likely the people, bring light to this bullshit and get on SpaceX side.
So, how many movie pirates have opened up a flick, seen the "WARNING!" label and words saying that this product is NOT for unauthorized viewing, and immediately closed / deleted the movie?
I'm guessing..... Zero.
I think the whole point is by creating congestion, Uber also will be unable to effectively transport people. They're basically saying "if I can't have it nobody can" and stamping their feet.
"We're going to cause gridlock preventing traffic for Black Cabs, on the same day!"
Just to fuck with them. Everyone providing gridlock for everybody else, saying "Muahaha! We got 'em!" meanwhile everyone is contently stuck in gridlock. Clownshoes for all!
Semantics. You could easily say you're not selling the *spot*, you're selling your willingness to depart from the spot, and it just so happens the person who paid you to leave is waiting to occupy the spot upon your departure.
With 3d printing, I suppose you can print something which would be capable of firing a bullet, but not look or seem anything like a gun. A box perhaps. Would that still be a gun? I don't know if laws define guns as what most people traditionally think of - a handgun shape is very recognisable and 3d guns look similar...at what point does it become a gun, and at what point is a piece of plastic just a toy? If he printed a box with a cylindrical hole in it and a mechanism to pound into the centre of the cylinder, would it also be a gun?
Don't be so harsh on the poor guy. He did have one VERY intriguing and wise quote:
"There's no such thing as a perfect circle, he said"
Can't you identify with that sort of depth and insight?//
Like you I had a rant when I read this and was bemused by the story and how it ended with nothing really showing any genius but providing us with a 'wow awesome' title, ranted a bit to my father in Skype, laughed, and we moved on. Suggest everyone does the same:)
"Japanese and Swiss companies that have dominated high-end watchmaking"
Um.. yeah - no high-end Japanese or Swiss company sells a high-end watch for $350-$500. Add a zero and you're entering the market.
A good digital watch and a paired device will set you back far less than any 'high-end' watch.
Than actual active members. I've had whatsapp installed on a phone for a couple years, and haven't used it in...well, a couple years. Am I in those statistics?
There may be correlation with salary employees earning less than hourly employees overall or something, and relating that to education or whatever, but clearly salary employees are, in general, expected to put in overtime without extra pay when they need to - or need to do that with hopes of getting better pay in the future / better performance reviews...whereas wage employees are scheduled for 8 hours and put in 8, employers are less likely to ask them to work overtime due to time and a half or whatever. Not sure why the other correlations even matter.
I see them as having different purposes. Rather than go into details about the hands and their obvious/not so obvious differences or the minutia of when which performs better and how to define PKI for those metrics, it can bes implified into:
At least poorer people have options now, that is ALL that matters.
This part is hilarious, "95 percent report they feel they are 'one of the most valued employees at their organization"
What that says to me is - those people's managers need a raise! Clearly they're making everyone feel like the unique special super outputting flower they aren't, keeping them with the organisation by feeding their ego, that's absolutely awesome - I need to learn their tricks of the trade to use on my wife!
"so your hoverboard would constantly flip over as you floated around moving from a state of repulsion to attraction with the magnets."
That's not a problem. Use many tiny magnetized cylinders beneath a hard top for standing. The cylinders can constantly flip, it wont affect the top which can be held in place separately - but they will be able to keep whatever they're holding up afloat. The rider wont even feel the cylinders spinning or flipping.
Innovation lab my ass, pfft.:D
In SO MANY cases, especially in big companies as the OP has alluded to, there is a huge bottleneck in communication between developer and operations - resulting in submitting tickets, waiting in queues, eventually getting operations-related work done so they can unblock their development progress. Solution? Give them the power to make changes themselves. Result? DevOps.
OP is just a whiner because he doesn't like what so many demand. Great. Many companies don't even know what devops is, let alone strive to implement it - join one and shut up, nobody gives a shit if you don't like how your organisation is changing your position to one where your existing role is sent to an offsite backup warehouse to die.

Keep spending, world. A hundred mil? Not enough. We've got to find that plane! It feeds CNN, after-all.

Truths: "Cinavia DRM: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Blu-ray’s Self-Destruction"
How fast can it get me bitcoins? OMGZ I need to buy one now. Wait. After reading the article, it's pretty much ambiguous nonsense.

Notice the article removed the ridiculous references implying that mega-hiroshimas happen all the time?

Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but "liking" companies because I consume their products on occasion doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
What, are they afraid someone may use it wrong and... lose their hand? Ok, that's terrible.

Hard to translate facetiousness in text, but trust me, I wasn't being serious :D if it were that simple I'd be slangin' that shit direct from China.

You can't patent masterbation either (can you?) but everyone does it. Illogical fallacy proven, argument deemed invalid. :D
