Perhaps the high end cars will come with filters that only accept electricity from fresh apples, rejecting any electricity generated from rotten apples.
After all, it's not like electricity is a commodity that we can send anywhere - just as the water knows it's going to a sink rather than a toilet, the electricity from rotten apples won't go to high end cars.
They can tell China that they don't know how to do it and can convince china to build it themselves. At the very least this will cost China some cash, and it might delay it just enough for people to change phones.
It is well worth the small amount of extra time/cash.
Anything Apple does for the US, it will be required to do in all countries it sells. That includes China.
I am sure that China will wait till they have a clear terrorism/criminal case, ask Apple to give them the same software they give the FBI, then make a copy of it and use it on every single dissident.
The San Bernidino phone SHOULD be cracked - by the government, not a private company. Apple should have nothing to do with the cracking.
1) Company doesn't have to make, send, or replace a card
2) You are less likely to misplace your phone - and you will personally pay to replace it.
3) You can begin the transaction before you get to the machine, so if there is a line, in effect, it is faster.
4) I can enter the code on my phone, take a snapshot and email it to you, then you can go to my bank and take the money out of my account. I just made a no fee way to email cash, as long as I have it in the account.
5) If you don't have a debit card, you can't mistakenly use it instead of a credit card, nor will you be tempted to do so on purpose. This negates the vicious attempt by the banks to charge you fees for overdrafting.
1) Men are encouraged to be aggressive and assertive. This comes in to play when choosing how much you want to charge.
2) Product choice might also affect it. I could easily see men choosing to only sell something if it is worth it, while women might be making things for the pleasure and thinking, why not sell it.
Thats because the government agencies don't care about charges. They press for fines, as the criminal charges come from prosecutor who rarely investigate till after the agencies do/.
Basically, the agencies should have a new rule - penalties must exceed cost to fix unless someone goes to jail. You want the minute fines, that's fine - as long as the corporation provides evidence against their employees. If not, the fines must cover total fix.
The corporation has been charged but none of the people at the corporation have been charged.
Corporations can't go to jail. All they can do is pay fines or be dis-incorporated. Historically the fines charged tend to be minute - small fractions of the cost to make whole - and they are almost never dis-incorporated.
Charging a corporation is like giving a warning to a person - it does nothing.
If you want to truly punish wrong doing by corporations, you HAVE to press criminal charges and not at low level either. If the head of the corporation does not personally know the guy going to jail (or go to jail himself), he's just going to do the same old crap all over again.
With a magnifier glass.
But the real point is that with a map in paper books, hey are ALWAYS already sized sot that normal people can see the map.
Maps in ebooks are generally set up to require x20 magnification to read - and they refuse to offer any magnification
You can limit but not eliminate some of this risk by using high end low powered physical key pad based flash drives. They come with an internal security, all powered by a tiny watch battery.
While you can still do some side surfing on them, the minute power of the battery makes using Van Eck phreaking much harder. Of course, you still have the problem of the monitor, but at least you have kept the keys secret.
That is, every time you have a claim of copyright protection denied, you have to pay a fine of $100 to the person whose work you falsely tried to stop.
If your claims are denied more than 1% of the time, that triples to $300. More than 5% of the time, it triples again to $1,200.
I also still use paperback books. They have size and map advantages over ebooks (The guy that invents software to let you zoom to your heart's content on a map included in an ebook will make a $1,000,000)
Look, do you know how hard it is o convince a solider to commit an atrocity? They don't just start doing it. It takes years and years of training and exposure to the horrors of war before soldiers are willing to do those things.
But robots could be turned on and ordered to do atrocities that no human would agree to do.
If a rogue general wanted to convince US soldiers to kill everyone in the White House, or to kill everyone in Congress, he would find it very difficult. It would take almost nothing for a rogue General to convince a squadron of drones to do the exact same thing.
All sarcasm is an insult, but it isn't always a passive aggressive method of expressing disapproval.
It can be an active means of expressing disapproval - when used to do disapprove of people not present.
For example. When I say, "The quality of the Republican Nominees for President is YUUUGGE, why they have the best, the highest quality they have ever had."
Clear sarcasm, expressed not passively in any way shape or form, focused not on the listener but on the republican candidates.
And I'm not just talking about autistic people. Some studies say that the act of saying "I do" in front of a priest significantly reduces the ability to detect sarcasm.
All jokes aside, this is a real issue because it is incredibly complex. First, you have to have enough skepticism to disbelief a statement. Then you have to enough confidence to acknowledge that you don't believe that statement. Third, you have to know enough about the speaker to realize that the statement they gave is not consistent with their own internal beliefs. This is made more complex because good sarcasm requires that someone somewhere in the world actually believe the.
statement.
Those are all very high level thought processes. You are not just judging a statement as true/false, but judging what others believe. Any child psychologist can tell you how hard that is.
You gave a bad example. Twitter is a service that is still trying to establish a real revenue stream.
A far better example is AMAZON.
Amazon, which put large Book sellers out of business (Just as they put small book sellers out of business). has never established a truly profitable business. They want to own the market, so have profit margins of less than 1%.
It's a great success in terms of internet companies, but a total failure from any reasonable business perspective.
If instead of having 'permission' to use an adblocker, they removed their ads entirely and did NOT track me at all while I was logged in to the pay version.
But paying them to limit most ads and still let them track me is NOT worth it.
Look, the idea of a computerized hammer or screwdriver makes no sense for a home tool kit. But for a construction robot programmed to deliver X newtons of force and Y torque, it makes a ton of sense.
Most of this stuff isn't going to be useful for most people, but I am sure there are people that it will be actually helpful. For example, if you are in a wheel chair, I could see how wanting a remote control built into the wheel chair that controls lighting, heating, air conditioning, locks and unlocks your door, shows you what's in the fridge, etc. etc. etc.
And yes, it should control your TV/Cable/Netflix as well.
Instead of Planned Obsolesce, we now have planned danger where we intentionally create a dangerous situation in the hope that people will therefore drive slower?
If you want to make people drive slower, there are several effective methods that do not increase danger.
1) Large bumps in the road.
2) More and sharper turns in the road.
3) Jagged lines painted in the road.
4) Curb extensions/road narrowings.
5) Rumble strips
6) Traffic Islands
None of which make it physically harder to drive, they just make you pay attention.
I was referring to stupid stuff that hasn't entered the non-technical community, such as the aaS abbreviation used earlier today. I knew what SaaS, but aaS is just a way to pretend to be 'in the know', not helpful.
What they do is put the ATM machine on wheels and push it really hard. This "rolles back the ATM" hard enough till the machine's back breaks open, where upon they steal all the cash.
Really people, don't use abbreviations, or ambiguous terms. No matter how 'cool' you think you are, there are less technical people out there that still want to know what you have to say. Using that kind of crap without explaining it doesn't make you see knowledgeable, it just makes you seem like a fool. Nor is it that hard to put an actual LINK in the article.
You float on liquid, you stand, slip, and glide on ice. Or maybe ski, if you have intent. Floating requires bobbing and the ice doesn't bob up and down in the frozen nitrogen.
