And I can guarantee you oil investors/producers arenÃ(TM)t stupid. They wouldnt/couldnt continue operating at a loss...that premise is ridiculous.
Subsidies distort the otherwise sane markets. Here in NH we have woodchip subsidies to produce power, which helps the loggers and logger tool providers, but now everybody who heats their homes with wood pays double what the costs were before subsidies, in addition to the higher tax rates to support the subsidies. It's an emotional transfer of wealth system from the middle class to a specific class of men (which also happens to be unconstitutional here).
Get rid of all the subsidies (aka corporate welfare) and see what's profitable and what's not. That includes foreign wars to "protect" certain fuels.
Same here; maybe Signal or Riot can get enough features by 2020 to be a decent replacement. The move to get the hell away from TIM silos as soon as possible is rapidly accelerating. Supposedly WebRTC is mostly usable now too; just needs a usability scaffold and directory.
I bought into this shitcoin, substantially because I thought Floyd Mayweather had a PhD in economics.
No, wait, nobody ever thought such a thing - this was obviously just an advertising gimmick to get the brand out in front of as many eyeballs as possible.
A reasonable judge would tell the plaintiffs, "get the hell out of my courtroom."
Anybody who invested based off Mayweather or Kalid's endorsement without doing any due diligence, is just as likely to lose everything in the lottery next week. Obvious advertising is bloody obvious .
Nobody thinks MySQL is what Amazon means by "off of Oracle".
Anyway, they're just using the engine, not the storage. And, granted, they should using MariaDB. Larry seems like the kind of guy who would be happy to sue them over some technicality here, the way they tried to clobber Google with a stupid java header copyright theory.
Right. Vaccines and antibiotics should be the next to go. Nature, as it comes at us, is the best possible state. Who authorized genocide on the polio virus anyway? #poliovirusrightsnow
The common name has to be a real hostname, but you can put in IP address in as a alternative name. What reason was there to not use a host name in the first place?
Dude - the title of the whitepaper is literally "Peer-to-Peer Digital Cash".
This sToRe oF vALuE talk is why the BTC price volatility is so insane and the small-blockers think a future with $1500 fees is a feature.
BTC is a dead-end technologically. Come over to the BCH chain where the blocks are 32MB and growing, fees are half a cent, and everybody is driven to make it peer-to-peer digital cash. There are two billion people in the world who are unbanked and have smartphones. Read more at bitcoin.com.
It's definitely faster for merchants. Bitcoin for instance settles in roughly 10 minutes. Except in extraordinary circumstances which might take two hours. Visa or Mastercard, by contrast, enforce a six-month window where you never know if the payment is finalized or not. That's crazy for merchants, but Bitcoin doesn't have that problem.
That's doubtful. VW is out saying how they'll have a "Model 3 Killer", in what, 2023? That's so far out it can easily slip to double that.
I would rather buy an electric pickup from Ford, given that they know how to build a body that can haul rock, pull stumps, and plow snow for three decades, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get that chance. My 25-yr-old ICE Chevy pickup will probably get replaced with a Tesla five years before Ford has their first FE-250 in the showrooms.
Well, they grant them monopolies, which is the real problem Comcast quotes homeowners here $240,000 per mile to extend the cable line to the next house.
That's not free market pricing, obviously. Interstate highways only cost 4x that amount per mile.
You're entirely right on the merits - because the U.S. is the most connected society, in terms of economic dependence on telecommunications, every vulnerability that the NSA hoards for attacks, is a potential breach on corporate and personal information.
However, if you think the type of people, largely sociopaths, who run the government are likely to just back down from a war they can foment, or really care about individuals' safety, you're entirely misunderstanding the mindset of someone who would go to work for the NSA or FBI, instead of the private sector.
The trouble comes down to the profitability of making these vulnerabilities go away with the private sector - perhaps a non-profit could manage to do this, or some other economic mechanism that doesn't rely on the good graces of the crazy people who are calling themselves "Cyber Warriors".
Anybody who needs evidence of this can go talk to someone who has battled Eternal Blue or something else of that nature.
You seriously can't discuss the different risks of cloud computing separately? That's why you sound like a conspiracy theorist and not an engineer.
Of course Google is putting your data at risk - that's not relevant to a BGP hijack - it's a separate issue.
Of course Google's owning Chrome is a special case - that's the case we're discussing here. To try to generalize it to a huge catastrophe is just soapboxing and not useful. Everybody here already knows about those risks - this isn't USA Today.
massively overcrowded, horrific traffic, insane cost of living.
These are all within a few miles of Bezos's other two houses - that's why they're the best possible locations.
The Golden Ticket Contest was just to get those places to give Amazon tax breaks or whatever - there wasn't really ever a competition. Some people will call it clever, some will call it devilishly clever.
Oh, right, all of your important information could be shunted off to your competitors. But that's not a big deal, right?
Look, I help people set up private servers to keep their data out of "the Cloud" but you can't be wrong about the arguments.
Event IF this were a BGP hijack rather than a misconfiguration error and even IF they had minted Google.com certs trusted by the default root stores, Chrome would have picked up the pinned-certificate fingerprint mismatches and refused to connect. Everything in Google's suite happens over TLS.
Yes, this would cause an outage, which costs time and money, but your information does not wind up in the hands of your competitors.
Make technically valid business arguments - don't spout crazy conspiracy theories.
It's almost like businesses could have summer hours and winter hours that fit the needs of their customers and employees without government pretending like time is changing.
Like Home Depot does despite the government clock meddling.

Maggie was an embarrassing governor (she opposed decrim many other sensible proposals) so we sent her away.
Nobody in NH cares about investigating loot boxes (other than the handful of ninnies with compulsive worrying problems).
Trump's FTC should have told her to pound sand. My goodness, if she knew the things I spent money on as a "child".
Anyway they say Congress has a 5% approval rating but everybody says "it's not my Senator" - nope, not here, she's an embarrassment.

Totally ignore the Snowden slides and all the Valley insiders that say Alphabet has data-sharing agreements with all the intelligence agencies.
"French Tobacco shops... selling cigarettes, newspapers, magazines, and lottery tickets."
Well, that's the stamp of financial legitimacy right there. Classy!
Smells like freedom. Where the guns at?
You can't buy this kind of premium advertising.
Sure. But if this one has a watery planet our plants can probably grow there if life hasn't already evolved on it.
As far as we know we can't live without our plants.

Tim Cooke is one to talk. Following his "curation" of free speech..

Tim thinks it's better for people to not be able to keep an eye on what Jones is saying than to do so. Seems foolish to me.
