Why would a wear a pair of glasses, that hooks up to my phone, so I don't have to take it out of my pocket and I can turn it's dinky little screen into an effective 125 inch screen. Most of the time it just delivers a bit of information relating to incoming calls and no advertising. The glasses also would protect my eyes, provide the camera lens and be ground for the perfect fit, variable tint to keep excess light out. Why would I not?
Don't forget simple greed. Cost 1,000 million dollars, now how much of that is profit, half. Forget security or spying on Americans, apparently it doesn't work but some pack of greedy fuckers are shoving what, 5 hundred million dollars in their pocket and laughing all the way to their tax haven to hide that money. Never, ever forget simple greed, no grand conspiracy required, just a scam to steal a billion dollars. Just look at the F35 Flying Pig, the baconator express, all about pork for the military industrial complex, the most profitable scam in US history. It doesn't work on purpose, so it will have to be replaced, double plus bonus for those executives. In fact the only way they could force it in, was to claim "It will cost up to $1 billion, raised from certain visa fee surcharges over the next decade." foreignors will pay for it all, yep uh huh, sure, watch 1 become 10, watch less people arriving because excess fees and charges and the entire industry suffers, watch that tax get shifted, watch it deployed at train stations (part of the 1 becomes 10 becomes 100), all about the cash, no conspiracy required more to do with fraud.
More accurately focus on what you will do after retirement, simply move on and leave that stuff behind. Don't plan for you ex-employer plan for your future and I can heartily recommend just chilling out and enjoying life, get a bit bored, play politics just don't get too involved in it, its more fun than you think, if you don't get to bound up in it. Develop your creative side and like the other poster said be open to casual consulting, at what ever pace you are comfortable with. Be aware of things like loss of identity, you are no longer who you were, of becoming a more independent person, that independence does allow you to take political action that you could not otherwise do, so that's why playing politics can be much more fun.
Cash, dollars, hmm, carry it in your pocket, spend it anonymously, wow what a novel concept. You don't need a computer, you don't need the internet, spend it any time, any where, all without permission, you don't have to ask permission from any one to buy anything when you pay with cash. No one can electronically hack into you wallet and steal it or even just delete it. Here is a scam for crypto currency types, don't try to steal them, just delete them, mwa hah hah, there less there are, the more yours are worth, the more you delete, the richer you are. You bet they are doing more to defend against hacking but how about deletion, split second and they are gone for ever. Interesting thought, all crypto currency by the nature of chaos theory will diminish to zero over time, you can not replace what has been deleted. You can bet those places will be hacked not to steal those files that represent imaginary money but to delete them, supply and demand, the more you get rid of, the more the rest are worth, good luck with that. What would the crime be, computer hacking and hmm, vandalism, no theft involved.
Well for a start three of them voted for it, how about name and shame them all, not just the only idiot who was willing to promote that scam. Just looking at that guy and the idiocy he comes up with and you know, you just know he was the only one stupid enough to destroy his public image for the rest of his life, all the others chickened out and with good reason. There are at least two others skulking in the background https://www.fcc.gov/about/lead..., wish them a merry fucking christmas.
Here you go https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22a.... So the hint here, put it in quotations so "apple photo" and of course use duckduckgo instead, far superior to google and there more and more adjusted results to suit their advertisers and political delusions of 'total power'. Anyone who uses google other than for maps is making a bad choice, honestly, Duck Duck Go is good enough and enough of you use it and the big shit at alphabet will climb done of his delusions and ego and stop trying to fuck with us and democracy.
You kind of failed to mention the impact of seeing an ad now. When you grew up with them, you became used to them, but be cut off from them for a few years and wow, you can watch one every now and then (at least a week apart or month or more) and it is kind of weird but any more than that and it is offensive, actually offensive. It feels like some arsehole has wandered into your home screaming that you buy crap and after the advertisement, instead of buying that crap, you now hate the product and company that did the advertisement. Make no mistake in the modern household advertisements should be seen and not heard.
You want to successfully market your product in the modern era, sponsor stuff and show you branding and product. Banner ads, just quietly reminding people of you products and services. Sponsor content and have you company and product in that content, keep in mind how long that content can last, many years and continually promote you brand and products, well, keep in mind the content will last longer than that particular product line so adjust accordingly. Align ads with content, forget Googles bullshit, that was a scam targeted at advertisers, they straight up were marketing the fuck out of you, suckers. Ads must align with content, not the user, don't try to sell the user what they bought yesterday (exactly what happens with targeted ads), target them with what they want to buy next month, they are looking at that content because they have real interest in that product range represented by that content. For others that can not really align, there is news, current affairs, documentaries et al but be very, very polite in your presentation.
As for the lie ads are less harmful for children, straight up lie. Ads targeted at children inherently target peer pressure to get children with the product to target and deride children without the product. Push the bullshit idea into children heads, that they are shit without the product, Repeatedly attack and attack and attack the psychology of children to damage their minds with total disregard to enrich grown adults. It is disgusting and extremely damaging to the whole of society, there should be a total ban on targeting children with advertisements. Think about complete filthy animal cunt adults are targeting children to manipulate them into buying products to enrich those adults, fucking adults are scamming children out of their pocket, fucking adults are manipulating children to put pressure onto the parents to buy stuff, and they do it by convincing the children they are shit unless they have it. Truly disgusting stuff, done by truly disgusting, psychopaths, fucking child molesters.
Not a problem. Simply legislate that any device over say $250 be designed, actively designed to be repairable ie easy example, user replaceable batteries, no ifs not buts, don't give a crap, user replaceable batteries and screens at minimum. This asking and begging for stuff from greedy corporations are you nucking futs, no asking, no begging, grind on politicians until they legislate and fines, a fine per device that is not essentially consumer repairable. Want super thin (bullshit I know) glued together phones sell them for less than $250, suck it up. Every phone more expensive than that and the user themselves have to be able to repair the most likely to break elements of the phone, screen and battery and probably connectors. Think it is not a pretty, basically bugger off, how stupid do you think we really are.
There is a fourth. They are in power due to their egos, bloody massive egos so there is a range of things you can do to poke the shit out of their egos, especially considering how massive and vulnerable they are. Simply routinely, regularly take the piss out of them, mock them and mock the corrupt efforts. Don't just tell them you are going vote against them, that is really lame, tell them you will actually actively going to political campaign against them and you want to see them unemployed and tell them who you will be campaigning for (can't win elections, then they are worth nothing to the corporations and they wont pay them any more). Pay attention to the primaries, that is where you can have the most fun, limited numbers of people voting and you can have a huge impact, stack the elections will representatives of the workers and drive out the corporate stooges.
Grind on the fuckers and then grind on them some and keep on grinding. Don't go nuts, you are not alone and a few hours a week shared between millions and you can make every corrupt politicians life a political hell, make them wish they had never chosen that corrupt path. Don't forget to have fun doing it, fuck em, your might succeed, you might fail but you will have fun doing it, a whole lot of fun. Who knows who you might be able to get to complain about demons attacking them, fucking hilarious.
Now don't take it to seriously because if you do, you will tend to fuck it all up and possibly end with a custodial sentence, enjoy the grind, enjoy putting political fear into the lives of corrupt politicians, enjoy grinding on the corporations that fund them and enjoy trying to defund those corporations by attacking their profits in what every 'bendy' way you can, remember bend the law, do not break it and have fun. I'll bet you find it to be a lot more fun than you think it will be, think of it like a computer strategy game, how to fuck with the corrupt, how to deflate their egos, how to make them panic and make really stupid decisions, how to trip them up, how to flip their marketing campaigns, how to turn their positives into negatives, how to expose their corruption, how to fuck with their plots and schemes so they blow up in their faces, so many fun ways to program the AI that is the internet, to make life a digital political hell for them.
Stop ignoring the primaries, you can have by far the greatest impact with the least amount of effort and fuck em and fuck em hard but have fun, don't forget to have fun and don't take it too seriously you win some you lose some but every time they lose it is a total catastrophe for them. Just look how Clinton freaked out (the government on it's side, main stream media on it's side, the corporations on it's side and the pathetic cow still lost big, apparently trolled right out of winning the election).
I think the real problem is, that much data and you can mine it to find all US agents operating abroad, all in the data patterns. The more information you have about all US citizens, the easier it is to find the ones who have chosen to work for three letter agencies and then find the identity shift, from citizen to spy overseas. Youch, much worse and much more dangerous than it seems, especially to the spy vs spy types, extremely problematic from that point of view, especially how much fucking around the US does overseas, how many spies they have in other countries, that identity change is not that hard to mine, given sufficient data and data mining intellect.
Pretty much not at this time but Google have proven to be such deceitful political manipulators and control freaks, I expect Linux smart phones to start appearing under most brands in the next bunch of years. The can simply skip the Android Java layer and tell Google to go fuck itself, it is bound to happen, as the manufacturers seek more control over their market and that means excluding Google, they deserve to be excluded. It is inevitable, just a matter of time, some hints but likely at least a some years. Simply buy second hand and screw them, make sure you buy a phone with a user removable battery, that is easy to root and you are done. Avoid phones that run hot, that really shortens the life of electronic components. Expect a push from foreign governments that do not trust US corporations, they will simply demand quotes for government supply of Linux phones and drive that market, then tenders would be years in advance to allow development time and they are free of US corporations, especially after Don Don the orange orangutan little speech about the importance of US corporate domination of the entire planet, how to many enemies, stupid is as stupid does. The damage that little speech did to US tech companies in foreign countries, ain't no one going to trust them now.
More likely simply English speaking Russian who like to take the piss out of the US and UK governments. I reckon both are up tight murderous freakazoids and I do seriously enjoy taking the piss out of the US government as a result and I am Australian mate, simply fuck em, murderous cunts. I am quite simply shocked there are not tens of thousands of Russian revelling in taking the piss out of the US and UK governments, just 47, I doubt that. Population of Russia, smart and well educated, I would have thought something more in the order of at least 10,000 Russians getting the jollies trolling the fuck out of both the US and UK government, damned those fuckers are more well behaved than Australians. You kill our people in your fucking bullshit wars, expect real long term enduring repercussions until justice is served. When the US choose to start killing Don Cossacks in the Ukraine, I was expecting worse, the Russian government managed a fine balance between generating hostility against themselves from Don Cossacks and giving them some space to express their opinions, aggressively when it comes to western powers.
Expect a lot more trolls out of Russia, a whole bunch more, now that they can see how easy it is to poke the egos of the psychopaths that run the US and UK governments, you haven't seen anything yet. Now that they have seen how much fun westerners can have taking the piss, especially out of the US government, they are bound to join in and in big numbers. Oh wow, the pompous git running the CIA, oh noes, demons are attacking us, now that's fucking funny.
It is called methane, there is a lot of 'shit' you can do with methane, chemically alter it or even burn it and it takes nothing more than your shit to make. Every city, preserving their methane to make use of it, a worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and when every city does it, to protect, preserve and enhance the living environment, they will probably have a surplus. No need for fossil fuels, they can make their own by consuming and then passing the fuels of life, more than enough, when you work to process it all, none wasted to pollute the environment. Methane and various catalysts and energy and a bunch of molecular engineering and you are done, simple logic. I know you fossil fuelers your butt holes are twitching at the thought of the loss of most of your wealth and all of your power, suck it up mate and good riddance to the many toxic cultures that supply fossil fuels, shut down to nothing primitives again, that we don't have to interact with or tolerate.
Apart from one logical thing, why would you think more advanced aliens would be stupider than us. We have spent fuck all time looking for them, but they have spent millions even billions of years looking for us. How to find us very early in our transitional state from primitive to modern. The simplest infra red satellite dotted around the galaxy in their billions, in orbit around suitable planets, looking for the first clump of camp fires. Why the hell would advanced societies not look for primitive societies in the earliest stages of development so that this generation of aliens, this living generation can live through what their distant (keep in mind your own numbers, millions even billions of years distant) ancestor went through experience that moment of birth from planetary species to galactic species, a show that many generations of aliens would get to watch for tens of thousands of years, not that long considering their possible life times.
You want the really weird stuff, say there is a huge welcome to the galaxy party for us, so that we are less chicken shit about exploring and colonising our part of the galaxy, how big an event would that be for them, some might have waited for the entire lives for that once in a million year party. Would they cheat, accelerate our development so they would be alive for that event, and would there be a mass die off there after for those who extended their life well beyond desirability just to experience what would be a galaxy wide event. As societies probably not, as individuals they would probably try to cheat the system, just numbers.
It is not even logical that advanced societies would be composed entirely of advanced aliens, they could retain planets with primitive versions of themselves, those who did not want to advance and just wanted to retain that pre-galactic life style, especially their own home world, for them not much more advanced than us, our show or virtually countless versions there off, to suit different societies and different groupings within those societies and different individuals beyond count, would be particular entertaining, particularly addictive. Does galactic society go through psychological trauma experiencing out trials and tribulation, that impact upon very old, very stable and very boring societies. Once you really start fucking with numbers and probability over time outcomes, a lot of very interesting things become probable and logical.
What would we see, as little as they could possibly achieve, apart from approved experiments, approved by the greater galaxy, can not fuck up what happens every say million years, there would likely be galactic chaos should we be 'extinctified' by accident or even be allowed to do it too ourselves and absolutely not on purpose, a million years for the next event and many generations of long dead aliens before it happens again. The rarer, the more possessive the rest of the galaxy would be. The most suspicious example of this logic, the lack of major impacts for many tens of thousands of years.
Consider the driving force for intellectual development, is mental adaptability providing a significant evolutionary advantage of physical evolution due to sustained major climatic variations (fire, skinning other animals for their furs etc),in our case ice ages over the past couple of million years.
AR is still a good idea, again eliminating motion and adding information to the environment, control is awkward, corporations can simply not be trusted and the wrong image at the wrong time will cause accidents, then the is the threat of subliminal imaging. Still a good idea if done right, for a start people could always be wearing what are properly fitted protective glasses, you protect you feet, why wouldn't you protect you eyes. The best thing is a smart phone in your pocket you never need to take it, basically a remote screen, protecting your eyes, hell, when driving hook it up to the car for driving data. AR is a good idea, how it is implemented will be problematic.
'ER' no, some idiot just publicly fessed up to writing fake prescriptions and committing fraud. So he fraudulently obtained contact lenses from Hubble and 'cough', 'cough', blames them for it, congratulations numb but, there is high chance you will find out why, police can do things that the general public can not and the consequences for attempting to do so. In publishing it Hubble who could have just let it go, will now by law, be required to report the offence.
Sadly the reality is most people in the world trust the Russian government and the Government of China more than the US government, which has factually proven over and over and over again it absolutely can not be trusted. Quite simply have something they want and you wont sell it to them at a sharp discount they will kill you for it, whether that you is one person or a million people. Who gives a fuck who the US government trusts, no one, absolutely no one, not even US citizens, should trust it, corrupt as fuck.
Innocent until proven guilty, kind of stops right there. They are factually stealing assets from an innocent person and crime against the US constitution for which the victim now has the right to seize all US government property?
Nope all in the bullshit wording ie they will slow down everyone to crap but the lucky few will get extra as long as they pay for it. So everyone gets shit, only a few get more, so no notification except to those few who get more, they will be notified. So the lie is in the detail. Then of course, how soon they need to be notified, a month latter when their service changes, during the political cycle, that whole rigmarole of forward and backwards with communications, delay after delay in response and then perhaps simply notified and disconnected, they no longer have to provide a service at all. Mass political censorship and make no mistake, as well as of course choking out publishing competitors, well as much as they can for about a year max and wham, cost the morons an election big win dumb fuckers.
The more VR spread, the more apparent it became how biological incompatible it is with the majority of people. Sure a bit of fun but for the majority, using it for hours, yeah, nah and or some not at all, nauseatingly impossible and that was bound to game style, some much worse than others. Pretty good guide, would be numbers for sea sicknesses and not tiny waves, but big sustained waves, "Roughly one third of the population are highly susceptible to motion sickness and most of the rest may get motion sickness under extreme conditions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Some can make it through no problems but most struggle and some much worse than others, apparently something like 30%.
So VR out by 3D in glasses stills survives, they just need to be far more compact, lighter, more comfortable and preferably custom fitted, lenses and frame. Not cheap but can turn any mobile phone into a 125" screen 6 ft away and people will pay for that, quite a bit and a whole lot more sans motion sickness.
Mozilla also have a pretty bad reputation for forcing stuff on people, a real clique arrogance. Your tabs, screw you, we want they where we want they, bugger your choice. Same as for appearance, like the old look, meh, we don't, new millennium style, don't like use IE suckers. They can be pretty bloody rude and like a lot of these types or orgs, a particular crowd worms they way in and it is all about serving their ego and fuck everyone else. Mozzilla certainly ain't what it used to be and it stinks of Google actively working to fuck up firefox in order to drive users to super invasive chrome, the chrome plated versions of Windows anal probe 10. The stink of the big shit at 'Alphabet' is string in this action, designed to damage Mozzilla's reputation and win a monopoly for chrome.
Wow, in one breath you equate charging a percentage with working for free. It's like charging only five percent, is being truly generous, charging for nothing, taking money and giving it to someone else but keeping some because, well, just because. Parasites always hate being exposed, they become violent and aggressive, it is their nature, that and the demand for more and more and more. If you found the response so bad, perhaps you should have pointed out errors instead of resorting to a rather lame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... attack. I would rather work with people like me, than people like you because well, I honestly think you are a psychopath, churning a new/. membership in order to get a rise out of me, hateful at being exposed and working for let me guess who;).
That computing time is not an asset, it is a loss, I can not gain that asset, that computing time, I can not convert that bitcoin back into computing time. Energy futures is based upon an ability to supply that energy in a useful format, what ever it is, it is not about the energy used to create the energy asset, it is about the energy that energy asset produces in the future. Who gives a crap about computers cycles used, unless it generates and invest that will generate future useful computer cycles. The modern era runs on useful, clean, safe energy, it is the most real modern asset. Bitcoin's only assset is marketing and public relations, the creation of an illusion of worth.
To answer that question honestly, do a months work for some without getting paid, for the first time, my response, NO. For a months work, I would demand half payment up front ie either you trust me with half the money or I wont trust you with the other half. I would consider bitcoin to be only worth what I could exchange it for, in terms of a real currency, in the next five minutes. Can no get real money for that bitcoin in five minutes, than I would not accept it. Keep in mind, hey you have bitcoin, well, if it is so fucking good, turn it into cash before paying me. So the general long term value I place on bitcoin is zero and I would seek to convert any bitcoin into cash as fast a humanly possible.

The can simply skip the Android Java layer and tell Google to go fuck itself, it is bound to happen, as the manufacturers seek more control over their market and that means excluding Google, they deserve to be excluded. It is inevitable, just a matter of time, some hints but likely at least a some years. Simply buy second hand and screw them, make sure you buy a phone with a user removable battery, that is easy to root and you are done. Avoid phones that run hot, that really shortens the life of electronic components. Expect a push from foreign governments that do not trust US corporations, they will simply demand quotes for government supply of Linux phones and drive that market, then tenders would be years in advance to allow development time and they are free of US corporations, especially after Don Don the orange orangutan little speech about the importance of US corporate domination of the entire planet, how to many enemies, stupid is as stupid does. The damage that little speech did to US tech companies in foreign countries, ain't no one going to trust them now.
More likely simply English speaking Russian who like to take the piss out of the US and UK governments. I reckon both are up tight murderous freakazoids and I do seriously enjoy taking the piss out of the US government as a result and I am Australian mate, simply fuck em, murderous cunts. I am quite simply shocked there are not tens of thousands of Russian revelling in taking the piss out of the US and UK governments, just 47, I doubt that. Population of Russia, smart and well educated, I would have thought something more in the order of at least 10,000 Russians getting the jollies trolling the fuck out of both the US and UK government, damned those fuckers are more well behaved than Australians. You kill our people in your fucking bullshit wars, expect real long term enduring repercussions until justice is served. When the US choose to start killing Don Cossacks in the Ukraine, I was expecting worse, the Russian government managed a fine balance between generating hostility against themselves from Don Cossacks and giving them some space to express their opinions, aggressively when it comes to western powers.
Expect a lot more trolls out of Russia, a whole bunch more, now that they can see how easy it is to poke the egos of the psychopaths that run the US and UK governments, you haven't seen anything yet. Now that they have seen how much fun westerners can have taking the piss, especially out of the US government, they are bound to join in and in big numbers. Oh wow, the pompous git running the CIA, oh noes, demons are attacking us, now that's fucking funny.
It is called methane, there is a lot of 'shit' you can do with methane, chemically alter it or even burn it and it takes nothing more than your shit to make. Every city, preserving their methane to make use of it, a worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and when every city does it, to protect, preserve and enhance the living environment, they will probably have a surplus. No need for fossil fuels, they can make their own by consuming and then passing the fuels of life, more than enough, when you work to process it all, none wasted to pollute the environment. Methane and various catalysts and energy and a bunch of molecular engineering and you are done, simple logic. I know you fossil fuelers your butt holes are twitching at the thought of the loss of most of your wealth and all of your power, suck it up mate and good riddance to the many toxic cultures that supply fossil fuels, shut down to nothing primitives again, that we don't have to interact with or tolerate.
Apart from one logical thing, why would you think more advanced aliens would be stupider than us. We have spent fuck all time looking for them, but they have spent millions even billions of years looking for us. How to find us very early in our transitional state from primitive to modern. The simplest infra red satellite dotted around the galaxy in their billions, in orbit around suitable planets, looking for the first clump of camp fires. Why the hell would advanced societies not look for primitive societies in the earliest stages of development so that this generation of aliens, this living generation can live through what their distant (keep in mind your own numbers, millions even billions of years distant) ancestor went through experience that moment of birth from planetary species to galactic species, a show that many generations of aliens would get to watch for tens of thousands of years, not that long considering their possible life times.
You want the really weird stuff, say there is a huge welcome to the galaxy party for us, so that we are less chicken shit about exploring and colonising our part of the galaxy, how big an event would that be for them, some might have waited for the entire lives for that once in a million year party. Would they cheat, accelerate our development so they would be alive for that event, and would there be a mass die off there after for those who extended their life well beyond desirability just to experience what would be a galaxy wide event. As societies probably not, as individuals they would probably try to cheat the system, just numbers.
It is not even logical that advanced societies would be composed entirely of advanced aliens, they could retain planets with primitive versions of themselves, those who did not want to advance and just wanted to retain that pre-galactic life style, especially their own home world, for them not much more advanced than us, our show or virtually countless versions there off, to suit different societies and different groupings within those societies and different individuals beyond count, would be particular entertaining, particularly addictive. Does galactic society go through psychological trauma experiencing out trials and tribulation, that impact upon very old, very stable and very boring societies. Once you really start fucking with numbers and probability over time outcomes, a lot of very interesting things become probable and logical.
What would we see, as little as they could possibly achieve, apart from approved experiments, approved by the greater galaxy, can not fuck up what happens every say million years, there would likely be galactic chaos should we be 'extinctified' by accident or even be allowed to do it too ourselves and absolutely not on purpose, a million years for the next event and many generations of long dead aliens before it happens again. The rarer, the more possessive the rest of the galaxy would be. The most suspicious example of this logic, the lack of major impacts for many tens of thousands of years.
Consider the driving force for intellectual development, is mental adaptability providing a significant evolutionary advantage of physical evolution due to sustained major climatic variations (fire, skinning other animals for their furs etc),in our case ice ages over the past couple of million years.
AR is still a good idea, again eliminating motion and adding information to the environment, control is awkward, corporations can simply not be trusted and the wrong image at the wrong time will cause accidents, then the is the threat of subliminal imaging. Still a good idea if done right, for a start people could always be wearing what are properly fitted protective glasses, you protect you feet, why wouldn't you protect you eyes. The best thing is a smart phone in your pocket you never need to take it, basically a remote screen, protecting your eyes, hell, when driving hook it up to the car for driving data. AR is a good idea, how it is implemented will be problematic.
'ER' no, some idiot just publicly fessed up to writing fake prescriptions and committing fraud. So he fraudulently obtained contact lenses from Hubble and 'cough', 'cough', blames them for it, congratulations numb but, there is high chance you will find out why, police can do things that the general public can not and the consequences for attempting to do so. In publishing it Hubble who could have just let it go, will now by law, be required to report the offence.
Sadly the reality is most people in the world trust the Russian government and the Government of China more than the US government, which has factually proven over and over and over again it absolutely can not be trusted. Quite simply have something they want and you wont sell it to them at a sharp discount they will kill you for it, whether that you is one person or a million people. Who gives a fuck who the US government trusts, no one, absolutely no one, not even US citizens, should trust it, corrupt as fuck.
Innocent until proven guilty, kind of stops right there. They are factually stealing assets from an innocent person and crime against the US constitution for which the victim now has the right to seize all US government property?
Nope all in the bullshit wording ie they will slow down everyone to crap but the lucky few will get extra as long as they pay for it. So everyone gets shit, only a few get more, so no notification except to those few who get more, they will be notified. So the lie is in the detail. Then of course, how soon they need to be notified, a month latter when their service changes, during the political cycle, that whole rigmarole of forward and backwards with communications, delay after delay in response and then perhaps simply notified and disconnected, they no longer have to provide a service at all. Mass political censorship and make no mistake, as well as of course choking out publishing competitors, well as much as they can for about a year max and wham, cost the morons an election big win dumb fuckers.
The more VR spread, the more apparent it became how biological incompatible it is with the majority of people. Sure a bit of fun but for the majority, using it for hours, yeah, nah and or some not at all, nauseatingly impossible and that was bound to game style, some much worse than others. Pretty good guide, would be numbers for sea sicknesses and not tiny waves, but big sustained waves, "Roughly one third of the population are highly susceptible to motion sickness and most of the rest may get motion sickness under extreme conditions." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Some can make it through no problems but most struggle and some much worse than others, apparently something like 30%.
So VR out by 3D in glasses stills survives, they just need to be far more compact, lighter, more comfortable and preferably custom fitted, lenses and frame. Not cheap but can turn any mobile phone into a 125" screen 6 ft away and people will pay for that, quite a bit and a whole lot more sans motion sickness.
Mozilla also have a pretty bad reputation for forcing stuff on people, a real clique arrogance. Your tabs, screw you, we want they where we want they, bugger your choice. Same as for appearance, like the old look, meh, we don't, new millennium style, don't like use IE suckers. They can be pretty bloody rude and like a lot of these types or orgs, a particular crowd worms they way in and it is all about serving their ego and fuck everyone else. Mozzilla certainly ain't what it used to be and it stinks of Google actively working to fuck up firefox in order to drive users to super invasive chrome, the chrome plated versions of Windows anal probe 10. The stink of the big shit at 'Alphabet' is string in this action, designed to damage Mozzilla's reputation and win a monopoly for chrome.
Wow, in one breath you equate charging a percentage with working for free. It's like charging only five percent, is being truly generous, charging for nothing, taking money and giving it to someone else but keeping some because, well, just because. Parasites always hate being exposed, they become violent and aggressive, it is their nature, that and the demand for more and more and more. If you found the response so bad, perhaps you should have pointed out errors instead of resorting to a rather lame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... attack. I would rather work with people like me, than people like you because well, I honestly think you are a psychopath, churning a new /. membership in order to get a rise out of me, hateful at being exposed and working for let me guess who ;).
That computing time is not an asset, it is a loss, I can not gain that asset, that computing time, I can not convert that bitcoin back into computing time. Energy futures is based upon an ability to supply that energy in a useful format, what ever it is, it is not about the energy used to create the energy asset, it is about the energy that energy asset produces in the future. Who gives a crap about computers cycles used, unless it generates and invest that will generate future useful computer cycles. The modern era runs on useful, clean, safe energy, it is the most real modern asset. Bitcoin's only assset is marketing and public relations, the creation of an illusion of worth.
Don't insult people you are asking for a job, if you actually want that job?
To answer that question honestly, do a months work for some without getting paid, for the first time, my response, NO. For a months work, I would demand half payment up front ie either you trust me with half the money or I wont trust you with the other half. I would consider bitcoin to be only worth what I could exchange it for, in terms of a real currency, in the next five minutes. Can no get real money for that bitcoin in five minutes, than I would not accept it. Keep in mind, hey you have bitcoin, well, if it is so fucking good, turn it into cash before paying me. So the general long term value I place on bitcoin is zero and I would seek to convert any bitcoin into cash as fast a humanly possible.
