Simples! Ebay wants to own the relationship with you -- end-to-end. That means storing card details with *them* (ie, on Ebay servers, or their processing partner's servers. Amazon's one-click patent expired last year, so no licensing is involved with repeat one-click purchases).
Anyone suitably PCI-qualified can be Ebay's payment processor. I think the only reason Ebay isn't setting up their own payment processor (like Amazon or Google) are non-compete terms in their agreement with PayPal.
If Ebay keeps benefits to customers the same or better (buyer-protection, fees, one-click purchases), they can play it so customers won't recall, won't miss, won't care about the old Ebay-Paypal relationship.
The partnership with Ayden may simply be a joint venture to get Ayden exposure in the runup to their IPO. I won't be surprised if Ayden is receiving a token amount above their own cost, or even paying Ebay (perhaps in the form of an equity stake).
You know, plants have root systems that remain behind after harvest. (People do eat other things besides carrots). Grasslands have thick, carbon-rich soil because of this effect. Carbon sequestration (by nature) and carbon dioxide sequestration (technology based) are two extremely different things. One is safe, the other is just being desperate.
Haha. True that. But it's not guns I think. Its tips.
Tips for everything, tips for everyone. For eating out, drinking out, buying groceries, taxis, tour bus drivers, odd job men. Americans are always showering extra dollars like so much confetti around daily chores, and it all depends on the wattage of your smile. I'd rather know if you had a bad days, so I could help you; perhaps by simply not being in your way.
Use seperate seawater lines for non-potable water use... Washroom sink, toilet and shower. Only half the plumbing needs to be redone in plastic... The drainage side stays as is. Maybe start with government built or funded buildings.
Well, I wish I had fallen off the update bandwagon before it made my iPhone and iPad unusable. The only iDevices that perform the same as the day I bought them are my iPods. Which do not get updates (they are not iPod Touch versions).
No, markets often do not deliver what the customer is asking for.
There is no such thing as an unregulated market. There may be over-regulated markets, or under-regulated markets. Markets, by their very nature, come about thanks to regulation.
Is the EeePC's processor Meltdown-proof? (ie, no speculative execution?) Install Linux and you may have one of the few secure pieces of computing equipment on earth:)
A 30% performance hit means CPUs sips 30% more juice. Which means (almost) 30% more heat in the data center. Which means air-conditioners snarf 30% more electricity to cool it all back down. Not to mention additional SMPS losses.
So, a 60% spike! Maybe sell INTC and invest in electricity company shares?:-)
No, didn't you read the article? It's actually quite elegant research -- DNA-based, not a statistical post-facto look at various cancers.
This sort of research is important because it helps us figure out the 'why', not the 'what', and this ties into personal genetics. For instance, people with ALDH2 mutations can minimise alcohol intake (perhaps by diluting wine with plain water, as the ancient Romans, Jews and Greeks used to).
Maybe calling them fools is a bit of a stretch (others must judge), so I withdraw that term. But the public must be taken out of harm's way, which means firing some and retraining the rest.
They should fire that other cop... the one shouting the orders... at the very least. He should know the guy is confused and possibly inebriated... So instead of subjecting him to a barrage of commands and threats, all of which increase the risk of a fatal slipup (hands up, stay down and crawl), he should have taken the first chance to make the arrest while the guy was compliant and on the floor with his hands on the back. Fool.
Maybe this police fool was angry the victim was playing with guns in public. And decided to make him pay with humiliation. Maybe he should have remembered that he didn't witness nothing and that all crime is alleged until proved.
At the very least the union should censure and dissociate from such cops who don't use their brains, instead of mumbling "training, training" and blindly siding with fools who contributed to this situation. I'd hope they do, rather than the public dissociating itself from the cops. I think unions need managerial/leadership reps (and vice versa, as they have in Germany)
Police are unnecessarily jumpy these days it seems... "Better him than me" (even a bulletproof-jacketed me, with backup present). Whatever happened to backing down? To taking cover, to de-escalation, to providing space for cold blooded moves (as opposed to hot-blooded)? I wonder how much police pride is involved in all this?
Also, I wonder how the dispacher's words contribute to this? Do they say 'shots fired' as a statement of fact, or do they use words like 'unconfirmed' or 'alleged', especially if there is only one, unknown, witness reporting the incident.
Also, bring the other coward to justice, the one who gave the fool doxxer the fake address.
When pilots start wearing clothes manufactured using BNNT, you know there is a solution.
Or perhaps airplanes should just store water in their upper skin. This would have the other benefit of making low speed crashes safer (less risk of fire).
"I bought mine (an Apple series 3) pretty much for retail therapy (being stupid is ok, if you are aware of and compensate for it) and there may be no killer app. But there is a lifesaving one. My watch woke me up when I was running a high fever (heartbeat too high). Doctor told me that if I had not called an ambulance when I did I would have not made it through the night. So, there may be no killer app but there is certainly one that saved my life."
So - if an iWatch will alert you to call a doc, it can be a good thing.
Ah, the build quality, of course. The low-capacity (and slightly-swollen) battery, PCB with tin whiskers, chipped bezel, unresponsive OS, temperamental Bluetooth, 'retired' cloud service, flaky sensors, compatibility issues with your hardware devices, tatty plastic band... All these add a degree of authenticity.
But if I did, it'd take the form of a 'distributed intelligence agency' of devices and people that observed me, observed my interactions with the world, engaged me in conversation (and other devices and humans on my behalf), and then acted based on its perception of my need. Such actions would include filtering or augmenting my information flows (preferably, doing both). But of course, such a system would need to be controlled, and answerable, to me the user.
This is such a natural role for operating system vendors, its a wonder that Apple, Microsoft, Google, Fitbit, Amazon, Redhat, Omron, Arduino, KDE, etc, haven't cottoned onto it yet. Perhaps because building a 'society of intelligent agents' that acts in the best interests of the customer requires cooperating with 'the other'. And that is hard - both financially, and technically.
When that day comes around, my medical records, Fitbit history, readings from my home blood pressure monitor, locations from my mobile, credit card history -- all these would be brought together and 'digested'. I'd then be 'counselled' to eat healthy takeaway from WholeFoods, bypassing the PizzaHut I was walking towards. (Or not, as the case may be - I've had a stellar exercise week).
Unfortunately, commercial OS vendors and data providers are busy building or tending the walled gardens of their rent-seeking dreams. So the API hooks this 'Society of the Mind' intelligence agency requires aren't available. Until that comes to pass, we're stuck entering data into our own life.
That's right.:( The same way I must trust Intel's management engine.
But can we trust Intel to not let _others_ take control and do such things? The more such independent 'hardware engines' a computer has, the less we can trust it.

No, an air-superiority 'droner'. To launch and use drone and counter drones
Cape Town is on the coast. Seawater is the ultimate grey water :)
Maybe skip washroom sink (for safety; gets ingested during toothbrushing).
Use seperate seawater lines for non-potable water use... Washroom sink, toilet and shower. Only half the plumbing needs to be redone in plastic... The drainage side stays as is. Maybe start with government built or funded buildings.
Remember that towing glaciers to Dubai business?

Antarctica is much closer to Cape Town than Dubai is.

And you've probably been making this very point for years and years. And still they don't understand!

On the other hand though, I walk back my comments after seeing this post by Demena...
