Sounds way over the top, as Uber is more likely to go belly up long before they can make that kind of money out of auto driving. Auto drive, why pay uber anything. Anyone can do it, most likely direct investors, finance and insurance companies, simple straight forward investments with a set return, what the hell do you need uber for. Automation hardware and software is where it is at and even automotive manufacturers can do it direct much like they do the car lease market, pretty much the same thing, just really short term leases. Suing uber is like Google lawyers are just hungry for Googles money and yeah, so what, you can join uber's other creditors to get your cents on the dollar. Alphabet are just being dicks, starting to throw their weight around and pretend for marketing purposes they are not google.
The sensor suite for automated vehicles is key. What they can see, how far they can see it and how often they see it. How durable is it, how reliable is it. They really need to open up the sensor market and share methods until they get one that works reliably, whether passive or active. A encrypted lidar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... suite seems the only way to go, encrypted because each cars signal needs to be unique but it would also be useful to share and read signals from other vehicles (much like dolphins share sonar) and of course with aimed sonar as confirmation for distance (bad idea to share data between vehicles as that can be so readily hacked with false signals, really dangerous). Ideal sensor location might well govern car shape, to ensure sensors are properly located. Sensor testing is also and interesting requirement, pretty much continuous and any failure and the vehicle stops and is a tow away (that stopping being particular tricky, slow down and stop in a straight line or attempt to pull over to the side of the road, keeping in mind your sensors are not working at this time, so that pull over from memory and hope nothing has got in the way).
Google like your typical psychopath, is only really good at designing one thing, their public image and as for the typical psychopath, right up until the private, manipulate, deceitful, controlling, invasive, exploitative reality is exposed. They have real skill and creating that warm, fuzzy, safe and helpful image but make no mistake it is only a carefully crafted public image, hiding the most disgusting behaviour. Manipulation of elections, mass political censorship, rabid racism.
Specifically white male nerds, those SJW freaks are used to doing from school age and keep in going into employment, their marketing and public relations wonks as well as from the top down, the only thing keeping your employment going is their inability to code, else you would all be done and you know it, not matter what they say to you, they are also extremely ageist again specifically white male nerds. Don't even pretend it doesn't happen, at school from the earliest and in every form of content they are ridiculed, derided, slandered, beaten up, routinely publicly humiliated, especially by the google sjw types, not only do they do it shamelessly publicly, they cheer it on as a righteous cause and then blame the victims for being white male nerds, their fault and they deserve it and main stream media douche bags right in there with them.
PS I am a geek not a nerd, I could readily stand up to it but that does not mean I was not fully aware of it and the suffering those white male nerds went through nearly every day of their life, I found the nerds not to be all that bad and in fact way better than the jock strap cheer leader crowd and their fawning groupies the googlites, still crawling to them for approval (well on the psuedo celebrity versions, those high school has beens, yeah no one wants anything to do with them).
For the SJWs never forget the KKK and also SJWs and a prime example of what you will become, not only to gain power but just like them, when you are finally rejected into oblivion and that means you ANTIFA left my ass, you are self serving far right idiots pretending to be from the left.
Genetic testing only way to find out, well, to make every one safer, every one needs to be genetically tested. A little bit suspect one to go for in the first instance, the health insurance companies will love that test, I wonder how far they will stretch it. The best way for insurance companies to manipulate genetic test pilfering. Wait for you to get health insurance, sneakily grab your genetic test and find you have genetic predispositions, hope you forget to say anything about your genetic test record and provide health care coverage, as you are the best possible person to cover, as soon as you try to make a major claim, whamo. After decades of collecting insurance premiums, they say you have a pre-existing genetic condition that you didn't declare and tell you to fuck off and drop dead, hah hah.
Logistics can be far more expansive. I have worked on contracts where the manufacturer would deliver bulk product to the logistics supplier and the logistics company would package it, in the product box, not delivery box but branded manufacturer box and from there dispatch all products out to wholesalers. Logistics goes a lot deeper than it used to and there are plenty of receive, store, pick and pack operations. So all that is left is a cohesive online sales platform, else Amazon will really cripple other delivery companies.
The ban should be progressive ie metropolitan areas first and it really should be done across the EU together and real discussion about what happens to the banned vehicles. Of course still early but they need to discuss the broader issues and not dump problems on adjoining countries and give people lots of warning and help defray the losses at consumer level.
M$ were the ones that favoured the $ in their coding languages, hence the $ you will not that I always use MSN and M$ and have done so for decades because two characters to type and everyone recognises, were you confused by it, did you believe it represents someone else like perhaps https://www.msaustralia.org.au.... Thanks for bringing it up, I always use it to promote MS Australia because that affliction MS tends to have a real damaging affect on people who value their minds above all else.
How many do I think I interact with, not many and ones I have run across all come off the same. I did not say all Dutch people, just the ones I came across and I assure you in a multi-cultural country you come across all sorts of distinct cultural behaviour. The Dutch one, likely a hold over from world war 2, some of this stuff last generation after generation and I did say, impressions and feelings. To make you happy, maybe, all the business dealings were straight up no cheating, no contractual problem what so ever, it is just the way interactions felt. Make no mistake though, the first to ban is far better off financially than the rest and that has a big impact on the decision to do so, the losses faced by existing owners and not saying anything is keeping those consequences secret.
You are aware of consumer laws, at least a little bit, yes, no, maybe. Conditions of sale in most countries need to be clearly stated at the point of sale and unlike corrupt US states, post purchase agreements have no legal binding because of the costs of making that purchase are not refunded with the purchase (reviewing store and product, going to store, returning from store, installing product, all should be refunded, including installing the product and returning to the store). Now many countries rule those conditions of sale need to be set out as clearly and sales promises, not find print at the back of the sign, down the bottom and covered up with masking tape. Once sold control should cease, when it doesn't under reasonable and fair consumer rights countries, that company that did it will be severely punished.
You also have to be extremely careful when using private sources to carry government policy. There is a big difference between saying you are not allowed to do something and saying you have to do something, especially in other countries when you are bound by other laws. The Russian government could quite simply make it illegal to block trade with the Crimea if you want to trade with the rest of Russia and a bunch of US and EU companies would be in deep shit.
Personally I would enjoy an opportunity to work in the Crimea, mostly just to piss off the US government, meh, I am not American (it would also be fun to be sanctioned by the US government, well economically not the eiger sanction variety (eiger sanction I picked that one because click bait in the news a lot lately and Google claims to want to do something about it, yeah, show more ads, they still wont allow logged in users to block crappy uploaders content), as long as I get a nice embossed certificate I can frame and put on show.
Keep in mind the reality of the story. The Israeli spy agency whilst commuting criminals acts reports that Kaspersky is harvesting 'spy tools', not harvesting the target computer of it's data but harvesting the tools ie getting a copy of that virus and it settings, plus the type of data it sends and where it sends it and hopefully where it came from. Isn't this what they are meant to do, get those hacking tools, analyse them and break them but then no story like an old story https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and now twisted to attack Kaspersky why, because they were doing to good a job perhaps and exposing NSA and CIA activities and are being punished for it. This is not even a Russia propaganda thing, this is punishing a security company for exposing NSA/CIA/MOSSAD criminal activities.
As for Israel claims of hacking, well, the spy vss spy crowd is always obvious, they always lie, it is their nature. They claim online hacking, than it is a lie, Kaspersky you have for profit Mossad moles with offshore tax haven bank accounts, want to find them, track where they went for holidays, tax haven stays are a pretty solid indicator of criminal activity. In fact any security company, any where in the world, should advise it's staff that stays in tax havens will be considered a sign of criminal intent, it is, just the way it is.
Hmm, free stuff, a lot of people play free online web games and I have to say, quite a few of them run way, way slower than they need to. I smell crypto currency mining all over web games and that is likely where the idea came from. Keep in mind, people often do more than one thing at a time on the internet and when you hack their CPU you cripple their ability to do so, do it mobile and you kill the battery, no just short term life but also long term life.
More like cat on a hot tin roof. On one paw, you get to harm the US economy by making it's content freely available, on the other paw, you are spreading evil content, on the other paw, you get to piss ohf the American government and they can't do much about it but on the other paw you are spreading US culture. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, which paw do you burn and which paw to cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdfFbCsM-4M
The entire US war industrial complex knows all this crap is a scam to generate profits, hence they have not the slightest qualm about selling any information that anyone wants to buy, makes no real difference except to their offshore bank account balance. Easiest way to transfer the information out in bulk, allow a hack to occur, done and finished. They pay for that hack ie millions of dollars and suck as much information as they can out of it, the more they get, the more they will pay for the next hack. The US government is for sale at every level, federal to local government, that should be pretty fucking obvious by now.
This as VR collapses yet again. M$ screwed the pooch, they had a chance and missed it. Should have split into M$ and MSN years ago, leaving M$ to focus on enterprise and MSN to focus on the internet, gaming and content distribution. Better for the investors and much better in a management sense. One divisions focuses on economics and the other focuses on creativity and yes, mutually exclusive, straight up fact, the people do not mix well and will fuck each other up, on purpose to push their own faction and dominance in the company (egos will do, as egos will do). To late know, M$ hatred of creative people is pretty well on public display, just to be used and abused ie the decision to invade everyone's privacy vs creating new creative opportunities. They are a sad lost boys club, parasitising off the rest of the tech community.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WlON7r0m7E
Shed, 10 ton safe, drop box, your choice. The delivery companies simply need to come up with a design they can sell. So a sheet metal box, well insulated, with more than one lockable compartment, say one large one down low and two smaller ones up high. An electronic wireless lock, which the driver logs into and unlocks the door, drops the package in and the door automatically locks again.
Ohh yes there will be issues you just don't see them. I have worked with the Dutch before, they are a bid odd in the come off as only trusting other Dutch people, you are not Dutch, it feels very much like they do not trust you and never will. Often that lack of trust is indicative of some one that should not be trusted, they see themselves in everyone else. In this case, you people miss it because you do not live in a country surrounded by other countries with open borders. So why is all that important because the first country that bans fossil fuellers get a major economic jump on all surrounding countries. That economic boost, their citizens being able to dump fossil fuel vehicles on surrounding countries, whilst those values are still high in the surrounding countries rather than crashing, that crash defined by how much government are willing to subsidise conversion costs from infernal combustion engines to battery electric. There is a huge economic advantage in going first, you get to save your citizens major infernal combustion engine losses. Eastern European countries likely to get the burden for the greatest losses bound around corruption ie to dump the used vehicles from the rest of the EU into them, when they collapse to a net negative value, a rubbish burden. Of course from Eastern Europe to Africa but transport costs tend to kill that return.
If it was the NSA who conducted the breach, than they already have the Queens details, knowledge of tax evasions scams, corruption of democracy plots and the predilection of her family members for minors. When you are descended from homicidal maniacs who publicly tortured to death anyone who disagreed with them (also the rest of their family and even pets) and this without shame and embarrassment, in fact quite the opposite, celebrating the ancestors psychopathic douche baggery, you and your family are bound to generate a lot of information of great interests to be used to extort cooperation that will benefit the US regardless of the consequences for the UK. This of course extends out to the entirety of UK politics and the corruption of that democracy to favour US corporate interests. It has become clear, that the US is no ally of the UK and just uses them as gullible fools. I wonder how much spying the US will have to do, to find out the F35 Flying Pig will not be flooding UK skies like the US hoped (and that the rejection is very likely to spread), well, more like sit stranded at airports with out the crews or pilots to operate them or the cash to pay for them getting off the ground. Russia could most likely bankrupt the UK by repeatedly flying missions into international territory and have the UL intercept those flights at great expense. Rather than weekly or monthly, more like multiple random times every single day, Russia should likely work on creating a very very fuel efficient version of the Bear to burn Britain's play war budget. Interception cost huge amounts of money and the more the merrier, well as long as you are doing much cheaper than them, an order of magnitude cheaper;D.
It seems that regulations are required to ensure end users can readily gain root control of their phones to enable a full range of settings to be altered to ensure their digital right to privacy and control of their property. All phone manufacturers should be required to provide software to enable any customer to gain root control of their phone, else that phone can not be connected to networks in the country.
It is screen size driving graphic processing power, not the dots per mm. So bigger screens need higher resolution processing power, not higher resolution screens, in fact aside from language abuses those screens are lower resolution than you typical smart phone but they are much bigger. So the conflict of resolution of dots per mm vs dots processed (more total dots for bigger screens. How big video screens do I want, floor to ceiling across entire walls, some of my favourite content is scenery with pleasant music ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and the bigger the screen the better.
The logical future development is windows less apartments with large screens provided as part of the apartment, so which is better a shit view or a massive screen showing a great view. So who doesn't want a better view, someone who has never experienced one, I have a great one and it really does impact you life in very subtle ways and a big screen TV running with scenery, also has similar impact, the bigger the better, probably nine screen scenario filling an entire wall space being the development goal, with the centre having real power and the peripheral screens being pretty basic for just scenery or general data.
The long term question in capital development will windows be more cost effective than providing a big screen as default in an apartment with a scenery channel. You know they would fuck it up by showing commercials 24/7 at fill volume, you just know they would do it.
I have retired and I work hard at making Mondays a quite specific day, a do nothing day, my have fun only day and that is lazy fun day, not active fun day (wont even pay bills on a Monday). Mondies suck becaue of the dirtiest four letter word on the planet, 'ewww', work (often very shitty super boring crap work), yuck.
Pfft, most likely reason for ban, no US CIA/NSA back doors, maybe FSB ones but definately no US ones. Who is most likely to hack, the US government, they have an insane spy on everyone and control everyone policy. So paying for one, I would go with the Russian Kaspersky because they spend their time fending off the CIA/NSA rather than cooperating with them. Are Kaspersky innocent, not in US government eyes, they are guilty as hell for in all likelihood being unwilling to install CIA/NSA back doors, not that they would be asked with security letters to hide that criminal activity because that would be major news on https://www.rt.com/.
Reality is, any security product I see approved by the US government I will likely avoid and any they attack I will take a second look at. The US government are by far the biggest most untrustworthy liars on the planet. They think it is a laugh that they found no WMDs in Iraq, killed a million Iraqis and thousands of their own allied nations soldiers all for a for profit giggle, tee hee.
Mozilla was probably not the best placed to produce an entire OS with a whole range of applications, which is the mobile platform, it represents a massive jump in the required capability. The only logical competitor to Google of course wont happen because the idiots lack foresight. That competitor would be M$ creating a mobile Linux distribution and doing exactly what Google did and now Google is perceived as being quite naughty itself and has left markets open to be stolen just like https://duckduckgo.com/ which is totally good enough now to escape to from Google thought control and growing traffic indicates people are moving (they still use Google Maps for map searches but use duck duck go for all other searches, the bulk of searches). M$ simply wont go that way and even if they did, you know they would hugely screw up privacy and control, killing it, greed driven stupidity is greed driven stupidity (greed convinces them the stupidest decisions will work because greed demands they work and ignore all the reasons why it wont work because they don't easily fit in spreadsheets).
The only thing I expect from movie retreads, is they will look better but every other aspect of the movie will be worse and have stopped paying any attention to the release and consider them 'B' movies from the get go. You have nepotism, the all age casting couch, corruption, self serving ego, driving the creation of some real rubbish.
Windows media player is being removed because M$ is sick of being exposed as a huge loser. The worst accepted media player in the industry losing to pretty much everyone, simply better to not have one. It seems M$ is hunkering down, expecting more consumer losses and cutting everything they can to focus on exploiting areas where they have control via content lock it ie exploiting a monopoly to the death of the company. The mass privacy invasion of windows 10 has cost them dearly and likely will kill the company in the end.
The whole premise is bullshit. This is an investigation in click bait, which I but have pretty successfully adapted to ignoring (I still hate it and would love to be able to block those shit content creators but the POS at alphabet wont allow individual user control of the content that is shoved in their face), claiming that the click bait is the work of the Russia government. The worst of the click bait comes from the US and Eastern Europe and Russia ain't that good at it, personally I think the Ukraine and Romania seem to produce the worst of the click bait but the whole of eastern Europe is deeply embedded in it along with of course the USA, the number one click baiter globally and this not just from rubbish sites but from main stream media, the government and major corporations.
Everybody is watching and any shit you come up with will be used to target the US government and the corporation that control it on a global basis, those idiots are setting the rules which will be applied to them and wow, it will cripple US media overseas, every lie will likely result in criminal prosecution and they routinely lie as a matter of course.

I wonder how much spying the US will have to do, to find out the F35 Flying Pig will not be flooding UK skies like the US hoped (and that the rejection is very likely to spread), well, more like sit stranded at airports with out the crews or pilots to operate them or the cash to pay for them getting off the ground. Russia could most likely bankrupt the UK by repeatedly flying missions into international territory and have the UL intercept those flights at great expense. Rather than weekly or monthly, more like multiple random times every single day, Russia should likely work on creating a very very fuel efficient version of the Bear to burn Britain's play war budget. Interception cost huge amounts of money and the more the merrier, well as long as you are doing much cheaper than them, an order of magnitude cheaper ;D.
It seems that regulations are required to ensure end users can readily gain root control of their phones to enable a full range of settings to be altered to ensure their digital right to privacy and control of their property. All phone manufacturers should be required to provide software to enable any customer to gain root control of their phone, else that phone can not be connected to networks in the country.
It is screen size driving graphic processing power, not the dots per mm. So bigger screens need higher resolution processing power, not higher resolution screens, in fact aside from language abuses those screens are lower resolution than you typical smart phone but they are much bigger. So the conflict of resolution of dots per mm vs dots processed (more total dots for bigger screens. How big video screens do I want, floor to ceiling across entire walls, some of my favourite content is scenery with pleasant music ie https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and the bigger the screen the better.
The logical future development is windows less apartments with large screens provided as part of the apartment, so which is better a shit view or a massive screen showing a great view. So who doesn't want a better view, someone who has never experienced one, I have a great one and it really does impact you life in very subtle ways and a big screen TV running with scenery, also has similar impact, the bigger the better, probably nine screen scenario filling an entire wall space being the development goal, with the centre having real power and the peripheral screens being pretty basic for just scenery or general data.
The long term question in capital development will windows be more cost effective than providing a big screen as default in an apartment with a scenery channel. You know they would fuck it up by showing commercials 24/7 at fill volume, you just know they would do it.
I have retired and I work hard at making Mondays a quite specific day, a do nothing day, my have fun only day and that is lazy fun day, not active fun day (wont even pay bills on a Monday). Mondies suck becaue of the dirtiest four letter word on the planet, 'ewww', work (often very shitty super boring crap work), yuck.
Pfft, most likely reason for ban, no US CIA/NSA back doors, maybe FSB ones but definately no US ones. Who is most likely to hack, the US government, they have an insane spy on everyone and control everyone policy. So paying for one, I would go with the Russian Kaspersky because they spend their time fending off the CIA/NSA rather than cooperating with them. Are Kaspersky innocent, not in US government eyes, they are guilty as hell for in all likelihood being unwilling to install CIA/NSA back doors, not that they would be asked with security letters to hide that criminal activity because that would be major news on https://www.rt.com/.
Reality is, any security product I see approved by the US government I will likely avoid and any they attack I will take a second look at. The US government are by far the biggest most untrustworthy liars on the planet. They think it is a laugh that they found no WMDs in Iraq, killed a million Iraqis and thousands of their own allied nations soldiers all for a for profit giggle, tee hee.
Mozilla was probably not the best placed to produce an entire OS with a whole range of applications, which is the mobile platform, it represents a massive jump in the required capability. The only logical competitor to Google of course wont happen because the idiots lack foresight. That competitor would be M$ creating a mobile Linux distribution and doing exactly what Google did and now Google is perceived as being quite naughty itself and has left markets open to be stolen just like https://duckduckgo.com/ which is totally good enough now to escape to from Google thought control and growing traffic indicates people are moving (they still use Google Maps for map searches but use duck duck go for all other searches, the bulk of searches). M$ simply wont go that way and even if they did, you know they would hugely screw up privacy and control, killing it, greed driven stupidity is greed driven stupidity (greed convinces them the stupidest decisions will work because greed demands they work and ignore all the reasons why it wont work because they don't easily fit in spreadsheets).
The only thing I expect from movie retreads, is they will look better but every other aspect of the movie will be worse and have stopped paying any attention to the release and consider them 'B' movies from the get go. You have nepotism, the all age casting couch, corruption, self serving ego, driving the creation of some real rubbish.
Windows media player is being removed because M$ is sick of being exposed as a huge loser. The worst accepted media player in the industry losing to pretty much everyone, simply better to not have one. It seems M$ is hunkering down, expecting more consumer losses and cutting everything they can to focus on exploiting areas where they have control via content lock it ie exploiting a monopoly to the death of the company. The mass privacy invasion of windows 10 has cost them dearly and likely will kill the company in the end.
The whole premise is bullshit. This is an investigation in click bait, which I but have pretty successfully adapted to ignoring (I still hate it and would love to be able to block those shit content creators but the POS at alphabet wont allow individual user control of the content that is shoved in their face), claiming that the click bait is the work of the Russia government. The worst of the click bait comes from the US and Eastern Europe and Russia ain't that good at it, personally I think the Ukraine and Romania seem to produce the worst of the click bait but the whole of eastern Europe is deeply embedded in it along with of course the USA, the number one click baiter globally and this not just from rubbish sites but from main stream media, the government and major corporations.
Everybody is watching and any shit you come up with will be used to target the US government and the corporation that control it on a global basis, those idiots are setting the rules which will be applied to them and wow, it will cripple US media overseas, every lie will likely result in criminal prosecution and they routinely lie as a matter of course.
