I tend to agree. If they are so valuable why aren't they generating the revenue that Yahoo currently needs.
If anything, at this point they should be selling off their patents at a rate similar to John Oliver buying debt.
Ya, lets just make a space tether without any sort of end game usage for it. Or did I miss the part where he says we need to do this, but absolutely can't involve a space tether.
To be fair it was actually a college freshmen with rich parents who could give her seed money to gather people around her who could make believe they were onto something.
Sure you could get something standard and buy the cheapest mass produced cars available. Or you can do your own thing and depending how you do the bidding process create more local jobs to support your beast of a system. Take a look at Boston. The state legislature gave the contract to replace all of the cars on the T to a Chinese firm with the requirement they need to be built in Mass. They could have bought the cars cheaper elsewhere, but now you have a brand new car factory being built and ~500 jobs created with the hope that this factory will start producing cars for more than just Boston. All I'm saying is the world is ungodly complex and the decisions that are made are seldom singly influenced.
So we keep using hard drives because they are cheaper and somehow raising their costs due to development, retooling, deployment costs, etc is supposed to be a good thing?
Raising the costs of something you are using because its cheaper seems the opposite of what you want.
For the most part speed doesn't kill compared to crossing into the other lane and hitting someone head on. Not to mention this really hinders all the new cars with their line following/lane changing tech.
The point is there are use cases outside of what most people here complaining about people with Nests have. Not saying its the only solution, or even the best. Just saying that the overall hate in this thread towards such a device is short sighted.
I see a lot of hate for the Nest. However they are very useful for people who have a vacation get away. Nests are pretty useful for these homes and I know I'd be ticked if I showed up at my little mountain getaway in Vermont and had busted pipes.
Which is his point. In today's America a business model out trumps the law. Just like the police can break the law if their training teaches them to do so.
If I wanted to vote for everything I'd become a politician. The idea is to elect people you think are like minded and want the job, and let them run the show. There is more to life than politics. I'm tired of being bombarded 24/7 with politics.

This assumes you pay taxes at all.

Her tech. Lol. She just got mom and pops to bankroll the initial start up rather than pay for her college. She's a business person, nothing more.
Stop. You'll upset all the IT workers.
A little bit of irony in you saying safer in handling and best driver-assistance on the streets when this kid put it 25m into a field.
They're called project engineers.
A Hyandi/Kia. Both were found guilty of this and both ended up paying like $300/car. Hardly their demise

And the FBI can have the NSA do that at will. They are simply using this as leverage to make things easier for them in the future.
I'm not sure what I'll do with my ~$1 windfall.
Which part of 'in general' was confusing?

Was wondering why I didn't receive a call back from Bob in customer service.
650' at 1 rpm is 45mph at the tip. More than enough to kill a bird, or because of its size a flock.
To announce going out of business in 2019.

Except that the fires are often caused not be overheating caused by charging or load, but the heat produced from the arc created by the short.

As a My Little Pony enthusiast who pays the same per month as everyone else I demand the same quality as the Avengers.
