They wish they could, but the effect of the last round of high oil prices was to drive a great deal of innovation by US domestic producers. There are a lot of wells waiting to get turned on again at various price levels.
But his approach doesn't really make a business. He intends to change social media from a website and a vendor who sells your info to advertisers, to a peer-to-peer protocol that our devices implement to propagate what we want to tell our friends, kind of like a modern-day NNTP with hard crypto privacy controls.
If you pay people to do fuck-all, a lot of them will do exactly that. In the US and the UK, we have the example of the corrosive effects of multi-generational dependency and in the Middle East, you can see that it doesn't get better just by giving people more money.
This is not even touching on the issue that government can only give away what it takes forcibly from those who produce it, and fuck that noise.
All those containers get loaded and unloaded by people operating cranes. Being able to optimize crane movement has got to be worth a lot of money in reducing the time a ship has to be at the dock.
One idea just occurred to me: an American service provider might demand a warrant before complying with a demand to provide information to a government agency, and might sue if their data is taken without a warrant. The NSA can break into any foreign computer with no repercussions at all.
I saw that one well-known gun vlogger has started posting his videos on PornHub. If PH plays their cards right, they could launch a site with more general branding "vidhub"? "AnythingGoesTube"? and take a significant chunk of the traffic that YT gets today.
You can't convince me that Apple, or any of the voice recognition players, are dedicating more processing power in their central servers on a per usage-basis than the mobile devices have natively inside them.
You don't know what you're talking about, but don't let that stop you!
The reason that Siri uploads the audio to a server is that the language models that the recording is scanned against are huge. The bigger the model, the more accurate the recognition can be. You might be happy to replicate all that storage on every single device, but most people wouldn't be.

Is HR who you go to when your senior management is incompetent? I thought they were just for handling Weinstein wannabes.

The biggest container ships only need about 1 HP per container when they're underway. They beat rail by a considerable margin.

the satellite will still need to relay to another satellite at least once before it gets to the ground and back
Why? Seems to me that there should be plenty of instances where your signal path is just you -> satellite -> ground station.

The web pages, not the language. Swift is an open-source project. You can check it out of the repository, build it yourself, modify it, etc, etc.
