because of this one person?
when i was in italy in the 90's you needed to bribe people to get home phone service, gasoline was like $8 a gallon, half the country shuts down in july and the other half in august, medicine was straight out of a history book, etc
italy is clearly broken
don't sell anything on the internet. i've sold on ebay back in the day when it first started and after a while it's not worth the effort. you don't make anything after all the fees, shipping supplies, time spent packing this stuff and standing in line at the post office to mail it off
give old phones to parents and buy new ones for yourself. donate books and movies to your local library. donate old clothing and toys. everything else you simply throw away and stay away from craigslist unless you're looking for sex or real estate
yep, some of us aren't so OCD that coming home to a too hot or cold home is a big deal. we tough it out for 30 minutes instead of turning the AC on remotely of having it run all day. this seems like a millennial product for the younger crowd who are still in their whiny everything must be perfect phase of their lives. us old people in the we're too cheap phase will tough it out and save the cash.
and electricity isn't that expensive if you don't use a lot. in NYC my bill is like $70 most months unless it's a hot summer. i turn all the lights off, the TV, all the computers, nothing running or torrenting 24 hours a day, no SAN's or other geek nonsense sucking up electricity. absolutely no need for one of these gizmos
or you buy a new home with all the energy efficiency bells and whistles so that this isn't a problem in the first place. and new homes already have automation options you can buy.
this is millenials we're talking about. they go all stupid and rainman when it's time to open two or three apps to compare prices. if it's not one step it's too hard for them
when the dell axim and compaq ipaq were being sold i thought it would be awesome if they could somehow sell a cell phone attachment to it. steve jobs only knew what people wanted
take the train, take the bus, keep numbers of local taxi services in your phone, take a regular street hail taxi, use a designated driver if you go out drinking with friends, sleep in the office and go home when day comes again
free market is alive and well and people somehow coped with these problems as little as 10 years ago before we had smartphones
between my wife and kids and I we have almost a dozen laptops, phones and tablets at home. My wife used to buy underwear for herself on the macbook at home. week later on my lenovo at work i'm seeing ads from the same sites she visited. same with Fredricks of Hollywood. she bought a costume there for halloween and i saw their ads at work with half naked women on my slashdot page.
a lot of media streaming CDN's use DNS resolving to find the closest server to you. if you're on the east coast and use some DNS server 2000 miles away then that's where your content is going to be streamed from. not a local server
You can say building the railroads and everything else 100 years ago was just finding used for all the metal that people were mining and refining
All innovation depends on prior inventions and breakthroughs
it's not the people but the checkout software. some of the big retailers like wal mart invested in slowing down the process years ago to upsell magazines and other crap
you just described Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Everyone is unionized and that $15-$20 breakfast i can have at the corner diner for two people is like $40 or more at the casino diners and just as bland
for whatever reason time warner won't stream their live channel if you're not on your home wifi and that means i can't watch the rare afternoon baseball game at work.
No, because I can go exchange my cable box or modem to time warner any time it breaks or a new one comes out
If I buy and it breaks I have to buy another one. And 30 years of open windows and Android has shown me that open standards mean slow performance

here in the north east it has been fairly cool so i simply open the windows for some air circulation. best thing it's free
