They aren't built to do mass market vehicles. They should just license the technology or outsource the manufacturing to somebody else and stick to the high end part of the business.
Although I am a committed Linux user I think it is important to have choices in cloud providers. Amazon appeared to be on the way to dominating that space the way Microsoft dominated the desktop. Good to see Microsoft transform itself for current technology trends.
You can't do streams on something like the Super Bowl or the World Series. There is not enough server bandwidth to provide each user with an individual stream. They tried this with the Oscars and it crashed and that was with it also being available in broadcast.
They do understand this but the companies that create these channels will not allow them to do that. People seem to think that the cable companies can offer whatever packages they want. That is not the case. Every channel they have is provided under a contract which states the packages that it must be included in.
No, that was entirely different. Aereo pulled the signals from off the air and re-transmitted them over the Internet. The cable companies could include an antenna and feed the signal into their set tops without violating any laws.
The problem is that it would require adding an additional tuner into the set top and modifying the software to switch the tuner when viewing an over the air station. You also would not be able to record these channels to a cloud based DVR system.
You ask a lot of questions. Let me address them individually:
Are wages so low that people would rather be unemployed, allowing employers to go the H1B route? I also hear that there is a lot of H1B fraud, in which case higher wages won't help.
Some people may be better off unemployed. Married women with children may find that the cost of child care make work not worth it financially. Low skilled middle age people may try to go on disability rather than take a low wage job, etc.
People say there are lots of skilled workers, but also that all the young workers are idiots with no clue and low ability levels.
There are a lot of credentialed people out there. The watering down of education at all levels has lead to a situation where lots of people have paper that say they are educated but don't have the knowledge/skills to back it up.
Women are apparently clever for avoiding tech jobs, but for some reason men are desperate for them and unable to do the jobs women are doing instead.
Women are under-represented in some fields and over-represented in others. Since tech pays better than most fields this has been deemed to be an issue by many with a certain point of view. There may be valid reasons for this but suggesting some will have your career ruined at many places like Google.
You have to be bright and highly motivated to find success at a boot camp. When the camps first opened there were far more people interested in attending the boot camps than there were available seats. This meant that they could be very selective in admissions leading to better results.
When the boot camps decided to scale up to be very large, they could not find the same caliber of students to fill the classrooms. This lead to a lowering of standards to keep the business viable. The result was that many students coming out of the boot camps were ill-prepared to work as developers.
The concept can work but not to the scale that the large for-profit training companies want it to. It would be tragic if the good boot camps were put out of business by the bad ones.
Its more complicated than that. Companies cannot arbitrarily enforce policies against certain employees. If Damore can find an example of somebody at Google making derogatory remarks about white males or any other group and then wasn't fired then he has an actionable case.
Lots of kids will go into Computer Science but not make it through. It will be interesting to find out how many stayed the course for four years and got the CS degree as opposed to those who found it to be more work than they cared to complete.
This is perfect, especially for all of their H1-B workers.
Meet your 7 new roommates. They only speak Hindi but I'm sure you'll get along. Take the bottom bunk in the corner and the bathroom is two floors down.
If he was doing the work assigned to him what is the problem? Would it be better for him to be on Facebook or standing around conversing with the girls in the office? A developer is generally judged on the work he produces not the amount of time he spends on it.
If this person can do the work in half the time and isn't assigned anything further then why not work on other coding projects? Wouldn't that make him better at this job?
Considering that the anti-Aribnb and anti-Uber interests have had their greatest success in big cities controlled by Democrats it is safe to assume that Republicans will shun this as they have time and again.
The content providers are going to wake up one day and realize the money isn't coming in the way it used to. Soon afterwards Netflix will be reduced to its own content plus reruns of "The Facts of Life".
So every home has to have a separate cable to this regional routing node? Who is going to pay for that? As it is I hook up to the nearest utility pole with my neighbors. Is that going to be the routing node? If so then every content provider will have to run their own cable to every utility pole. That doesn't save them much money.
They can put a watermark on the copy you are watching that cannot be removed and can be traced back to you. Then they will hit you with a bill for all the lost revenue plus legal fees. They do this a couple of times and people will cease to upload these movies.

Just install some windmills to kill the birds.
To end government control of the Internet we need to build a government owned Internet. Funny they don't even see the problem there.

They can force the lower castes to ride it until they get the kinks worked out.

Maybe you weren't paying attention. Hilary lost the election.

Where have I heard this before?
Need to get my outrage fix for the week.

That 85% is not until 2020 assuming the construction is on schedule which is hardly ever the case.

Wi-fi is all well and good but it doesn't help much once the power on your device is gone.
