As soon as you found out, I am sure you sold your car, and stopped having anything picked up or delivered on your behalf by gas powered vehicles? Also maybe you are fortunate not to live where you need heat in the winter, or electricity at night.
High horse and all.
If we stopped consuming it they wouldn't be able to make it.
No they simply lose their refrigerant charge over time, they are not designed to be repaired or refilled so it goes to the dump. It is a true throw away appliance. The brand I have stuck with is the one that actually warrants the 'sealed system' for five years, but instead of exchanging they simply 'buy back' the appliance, which you get to keep and find a way of discarding without incurring a recovery fee for refrigerant appliances.
In hindsight, CF bulbs were necessary, but really a joke of a product. Only in todays world would a buyer tolerate ten times the pruchase price, slow starting, flickering, wrong color, gets dimmer with age, can't be dimmed, needs to be recycled because of mercury, doesn't last as long as claimed, and can't be used in half of the (fully enclosed) fixtures. But hey you saved on electricity!
LED bulbs learned from all that, even the EnergyStar rating requires much longer warranties because the early CF lifespans were laughable.
Off topic, but speaking of EnergyStar, modern dehumidifiers are like the old CF bulbs in that they do not last. As they inevitably fail in 1-2 years, the failure mode causes them to burn constant electricity until the owner realizes it isn't doing anything. How can something like this ever get an EnergyStar rating? I'm on my sixth one in 7 years - yea and look it up all the brands are like this.
You have 2 competitors and one has no security, they don't sell any products and the bar is raised.
Wtf is 2018.
You are right, it is 2018. So you have 100 competitors and one has security but costs more than the other 99 knockoffs that all came from the same factory. They don't sell any products and go out of business. That is 2018.
The newer generation is growing up in a world where Amazon and Ebay rules and as such brand names don't mean shit to them. Most don't yet understand the risks of buying cheap unproven unnamed products when safety is involved.
People are too trusting or ignorant these days, just look at the solar eclipse sunglasses fiasco. Buyer beware used to be taught by parents, it seems now-a-days it has to be learned even by the parents.
Dried up? Gee that is too bad. My neighbor has a Solar City installation, the thing is a reflective eyesore. Certain time of year the reflection off the taxpayer funded solar panels glare so bad you can't even look in the direction of their house. They installed half the solar panels facing NORTH, and these are the problem.
Erm ignore that, it seems the second link in the summary has an actual article with real content. The first link starts out with 'what is stonehenge"...
Did they find ancient carvings that included or alluded to the math involved? Perhaps some rectangular markings that were used for alignment? Someone buy the book and tell us the answer.
But if the problem is excess inventory they have to sell near a loss, well that's what you get for creating a false supply shortage to drive up prices.
Find state of cube and look up the next move, the lookup table could also include every move from that point to solve with very little future work. Granted, creating that table efficiently is where the magic happens.
In fact, the US is using less each year. Under these conditions expanding with something productive 24/7 is not necessary, in fact new power isn't even needed, Solar is just a feel good story at this point that helps politicians, and with tax breaks and grants a few manufacturers and installers.
Don't get me wrong, someday we will need it, but not today, fortunately this gives us a chance to evolve the technology before it becomes necessity.
VOIP can be used over anything, land or air. If it is through a cable that travels along the land, guess what? It is still a Land-line. Now if they were still calling it POTS, you would have an argument.
The pharmaceutical industry will love you! That's the kind of thinking that priced out the epi pen. At least for cars there is the total cost of ownership ratings, which takes things like this into account.

Which is sort like being pay-walled. So nothing to see. No Xfinity 4 U.
"a platform that helps manage patient data and figure out how to balance meds together in safe doses for its customers"
Isn't this what doctors that get the big bucks to prescribe those medications are supposed to do?
.. memory chips? If so, then in theory anything using them is vulnerable with enough work. Would using ECC memory avoid all this over hyped crap?
No one wants to see that, their first order of business would be to find some fig leaves.

To access my bank account? My email? Social media?
I still believe one of these things does not belong on the internet.

They should be halting sales of any device's safety devices that can be defeated by this device. Is that enough devices?

Which "soon" is this (in order of fast to never)?

Maybe they should call it an Earth Hack just tick us all off.

or at least their oldest parts/stems have collapsed and died
So they still have newer growth that is not dead, so.... Not even dead yet.
As to a political angle, couldn't care less about that.
VOIP can be used over anything, land or air. If it is through a cable that travels along the land, guess what? It is still a Land-line. Now if they were still calling it POTS, you would have an argument.
Yea it is kind of ambiguous, for those interested these are the main ones in the US:Tri-state areas.

But but but the marketing department said....
