Sounds more like he used the money from one business that is slowing down and moved to a new better business with higher profit dollars. The more you earn the more you can do. It is why the 1% don't think twice about bankruptcy as it still leaves them with millions in assets to rebuild with.
I just stopped watching tv. Going back now is painful. How did I live with commercial breaks every 8 minutes for 4 minute intervals?
My girlfriend loves football. Watching a game is painful. With all the stopping for annoying commercials.
What is going to be interesting is when all the millennial s hit 30and still don't have cable and have to watch something prime time. That is going to change the cable industry. Millions of new home owners but only thousand of new cable subscribers
90% of customer care emails are sent by no-reply email addresses. That is standard practice that all one way emails like tracking or shipment information is sent by no-reply.
I suggest you look around. The standard is the exact opposite of what you suggested
I own a Samsung smart tv. At first I connected via wifi but then wanted a faster more reliable connection in my apartment sometimes ran a cable and switched to Ethernet. I realized that I wasn't using the smart tv functions so I ditched the Ethernet cable.
Wifi off Ethernet unplugged no big deal. Except I noticed random connections from an unknown MAC address to my wifi router during a router upgrade. So I watched it. It would connect for a day and then disconnect for weeks. I got curious and enables wifi on my tv again and guess the MAC address that was used. So even in it's wifi off but tv on state it would attempt to connect to wifi.
That's when I banned the MAC address on the router. No misc packets for you sneaky tv.
Personally I prefer using a roku and hardwiring it to the router. Easy to disconnect, faster speeds for streaming.
Military. 28% of the budget Paying back debt to social security 33% of the budget and rising This is money the federal government borrowed in the 70'sand 80's from SS when SS had a surplus annually and is required to pay back. Ask the baby boomers what they spent this money on. They are responsible for spending it but are too stupid and selfish to pay it back.
Medicare 30%. Because everyone kept expanding services wile doing something stupid like prevent Medicare from negotiating rates to keep prices down.
My numbers might be off a bit but everything but those three total less than 10% of the budget. Welfare food stamps whatever add up to less money than the annual budget deficit.
Lastly the annual budget starts in a deficit. The USA received 3.5 trillion in income(taxes) annually but budgets for 4 trillion in spending ( that was 2014 I think).
You want to control government spending. A simple ke would do wonders. This years budget equals last years revuene. That won't solve all the issues but it solves the longest standing one is that they always assume 10% growth in revuene. Something like 40% of the national debt is from just that. Another 30% is debt owed to SS
The f-117 in question flew over the exact same mountain for three nights on it's route in. It had only one flying route in and out of serbia.
Anything can be done able if you wait for a good shot and only turn on your radar at the last second so they don't have time to evade.
Why does everyone always forget that part? The bombers had one mountain they were required to fly over as it was the only clear zone in from the neighboring countries who restricted what could fly where.
That brought down the plane as much as long wave radar
The recognition system is 5.9% accurate for the testers. For the rest of us it is far far off. Human testers are 5.9% accurate across a much larger selection of people.
I can't use voice recognition to send a text without 3-5 attempts. And I don't have a hard accent.
There is no great analogy. Maybe if you used safety deposit box but less people use those now.
The best analogy is something everyone can relate to. Except the homeless everyone has a house/apartment/home that is their personal space.
Businesses can do the same.
You have to assume someone has been compromised and the key is loose in the wild. That is the real reason backdoors to encryption is wrong. That the backdoors it self is compromised.
How to describe encryption backdoors to idiots and non technical people.
Ask them to pull out their house key. Now have them go make 10,000 copies of that key and label each key with their name address and door location. Have them include their normal working hours.
Now they are to pass out those keys to every police officer, fire department, medical service group in their area just in case the government needs to get in their house in an emergency.
Now ask them a question how likely would it be that 1 out of 10,000 would get lost or misplaced and end up in the wrong hands?
100% of the people I have explained it to that way suddenly change their minds. Though it is still a small sample size. Once a generic key has been created and passed around you might as well not have a key
Yea with hand off using iPhone/ FaceTime iMessage is simple. I love iMessage which I have defaulting to only sending through text but every text I send or recieve gets copied to my laptop. So I don't need my phone nearby to get that one time text code the website sends me to login with.
It gets better when you consider 100,1000, 10,000 years ago how much we changed. A cell phone would be magic to those just 100 years ago, and amazing tech to those of 75 years ago. You would be burned alive for having one in the 16 and 1700's
Even sending von nueman probes out in a 500 year search would only get them 50-100 light years away.
Maybe if we can build a space ship capable of self mining resources to send additional probes and even additional ships could we begin to explore the galaxy.
Damn it don't spoil it for me I am only in season 4.
I watched for a while and then cut cable and hbo out. Girlfriend did the same but seperatly. Now we both want to watch it and are binge watching it. 4.5 seasons in 3 weeks. I figure we will start season 7 just about as it ends. Plus side you get a good sense of the backstory binge watching it.
Next on the list is that she has never seen Star Wars. And I need to figure out what order to introduce it to her in. I am thinking. Rogue one episodes 4,5,6, 7 Then 1,2,3 for a bit of campy background
It is called private labeling and every company can do it. You buy in bulk and get your name on the product.
As you said it isn't a big deal. However it can cut both ways or have we forgotten Amazon basic USB cables that under performed during the USB cable scandal a couple of years ago? True it affected lots of people but Amazon basics got burned.
As it is Amazon basic products have a lot of mediocre reviews especially cables.
Netflix has to attempt to stop distribution beyond contract regions by contract. Netflix doesn't care about cons but the mpaa does and they have massively headache rules of which country can view what content at what time and in what format.
Want Netflix to drop their vpn rules? Get the mpaa to work up a 21 st century distribution model for content taking in the fact that when a company releases a video in one country every country can then watch it live too. The 6-12 months later crap they love needs to end and update content live globally.
The issue is converting material from raw to usable form generally requires a meteric shit ton of heat and energy. Now what would be awesome is is a smelter and material scientist got to spend some quality experiments in alloy making in space.
I know they would be at it a decade or more but it is the basic level science that needs to be done for future projects but isn't being done because it is dangerous and not fancy
I don't know about him but you will be pissed when Comcast or time warner charge $10 a month extra so you can stream from fox. Don't think that will happen? Both own the "fake" news and not fox so they can make a Devine stream that forces you to pay and since theirs travels on their network it is free.
90% of wifi nodes are the isps modem that they rent you. Placed in a convient spot for cable tv but not broadcasting wireless. I have always had my own routers and ap's and as such speeds are decent and coverage is great. My current house if setup the traditional way would have coverage for the main house barely. My setup with an outside ap and ceiling mounting ap covers the house, the garage the driveway and half the back yard in usable signal.
Why search on yep. Search your favorite mapping app for restrauants stores etc. not only will it pull up reviews but you can see where they are in relation to your location which is far more useful.
Exactly right now it is the only image editing app that will be available to quickly resize or adjust images. I often upload photos and then shrink them for better email as a lot of companies have size limits for attachments and sending 6 1280x1024 photos is a third the size of what my phone normally produces
The problem is those rules were put into place because of companies that didn't follow rules or common sense and people died as a result.all cxx in a pharmacutical company should be held criminally libale for people I jured after taking the medication as presrcibed. Then we can do away with lots of regulations the pharmacutical companies don't like.
Regulations are rarely created in a vacuum a need or wrong is found and it is attempted to be fized
Find the slashdot classic setting buried in settings. I use slashdot like it is 2007 none of the Web 2.0 crap that screws up and slows doing browsing. Back to original style threading etc.
I have to stay logged in but if I do that then ad blocker works fine.

Current NYC maxes out at 7 transactions per second. Visa, MasterCard, etc do thousands of transactions per second.
One of these are the future and it won't be the one where you max out transactions at a mere 7.
If Amazon accept bitcoin it would only ship .5% of what other payment processing. Simply because of the number of transactions that take place daily.
Can you imagine waiting in line at the grocery store for 20 minutes to get a credit card approved? Bitcoin is measured in hours

Google has a routing problem
