With enough of these cameras, they could do average speed ticketing fairly easily. E.g. you get from point A to point B that's 20 miles away in 10 minutes...
Thing is, depending on how well they profile you, you may not be ignoring those ads! Oh the calamity if all the ads you were shown actually resulted in an unavoidable sale... [I think this is google's real plan... no joke.]
How about merchandising? You can't deny that the Avengers movie won't boost sales of action figures or Avengers themed rides in amusement parks, etc. What I'm saying is that instead of "selling the movie", you use the movie to sell something else (like seats in a theater---there's no reason why theaters don't play "old" movies---lots of folks didn't see Avatar in a cinema, and would pay for that kind of entertainment---especially without all the crowds).
Also, the reasons that advertising doesn't work is because it's applied wrong. Like 99% of ads on TV are completely wasted---showing something twice doesn't make me twice as likely to purchase something... probably quite the reverse. And yet that kind of TV advertising costs a gazillion---with no way of measuring the affectiveness. Perhaps if they moved more towards google-like metrics, where you measure things buy purchase (click, or some other method) and not by how many times the commercial appears in front of your eyes... they'd be more successful? (no point in showing me something I'm going to ignore---show me something I'm likely to take action on..).
this seems like a perfect candidate for a "large object xray machine" than for transmission.
imagine, being able to get an xray of earth... if you transmit a known quantity of neurinos, and try detecting'em on other side of earth... wouldn't the amount detected depend a lot on how many "other particles" (matter) there is between the two points... giving you a grayscale pixel.
Do that to many locations on the planet, and you can come up with an xray image of the earth.
could have something to do with the rediculous price for the thing. make it a $20k car, and then folks *might* consider it as opposed to a toyota' gas guzzling prius.
Minus: “Flash Crashes” – rare and infrequent things.
They're rare for P&G, or SPY, but they're certainly NOT rare in general. Of the entire pool of securities, a flash crash (trades that happen 10% off their 10minute min/max) happens a few times a *day*. At least it used to in 2010 time-frame when I looked into it before SEC put breakers in place.
For what it is worth, academic research indicates that HF trading significantly increases liquidity.
...and increases volatility, AND, *decreases* liquidity in crisis events (e.g. flash crash May 6th 2010). HF is not a replacement for deep-pocket liquidity providers of the olden-days.
Short-term (1-day) trading *is* a zero-sum game---there is always a winner and a loser at the end of the day. Saying everyone is better off is simply not counting the losers.
...yes, that and all ~200k residents of big island. That's comparable to one section of Brooklyn. With that many people, pretty much any solution would work (e.g. portable generators for everyone would also probably be cost effective, and "not that bad" pollution wise).
used that when going swimming once. it learked a bit.
better solution: ziplock, wrap around, with rubber band, then another ziplock similarly wrapped with rubber band. survived swimming in the ocean for an hour, with no problems (outer ziplock leaks a bit, but none of that gets into the inner bag).
They built it for the tablets and TVs... and then some idiot thought it would be funny if they put it on a desktop... (right click? what right click? there's no right click! it's unity...)
I fear the `computer' as we know it will be dead in a five to ten year perspective.
All we'll have are locked down media consumption devices (e.g. ipads and these kinds of TVs, perhaps linux based, who knows, but that doesn't matter). Sure you'll be able to browse web, check email, and BUY apps, movies, music etc., but that would be it for its capabilities---and scary part is that 99% of the population would be just fine with that.
on the one hand they got ``$21 Million has been donated to Congressmen who favor the bill,'' on the other your letter. Hmm... whom would they listen...
An employee needing corporate network access who has ``little in the way of computer skills'' shouldn't be accessing the network.
If all they need is email, I'm sure a corp can provide a web-based ssl thing for that. If they need to read docs, I'm sure a web-based ssl doc thing (like an in-house version of google docs) would work. But to put a computer illiterate employee "on the network" from a remote location is just stupid (and yes, we've all been there; still doesn't mean it's a good idea).
Personally I'd be fairly happy to get a plain and simple SSH login (with pre-set keys if needed), as opposed to the citrix crap everyone-but-windows-admins hates.

...and since headwind is reduced, that could mean a LOT more efficientcy fuel wise.

€57 million of course :-D

Unpossible! Measure one or the other, but not both...

car isn't free, so 0.80/mile may include price of car depreciating over 2 years.

Problem is... ANYONE who can get themselves elected president, by whatever rightious means, has no business doing the job. (paraphrased dna).
There's way too much noise (aka "entertainment") in the world anyways.
You forgot to shoo everyone off your lawn... :-)

I reckon we'll be banned from driving in the next 15 years. ...and in 20 years, we'll all have flying cars... that we're banned from driving.
So you're saying we have to lobby companies who would in turn lobby congress? Democracy at its best!

Never underestimate a ship packed with hard-drives... or something. Oftentimes FedEx-ing data is cheaper AND faster.
