This rarely happens. Amazon execs must have felt an uncomfortable lump in their throat before electing to cut their losses.
No. The reason they are willing to sell AppleTV's again is because they have just recently released their Amazon Prime Video app for the AppleTV. So the device is a doorway for their content platform now.
They would never believe someone from another country would have a legitimate reason to bring a drone in. They're just assume you're a terrorist since you're at the airport with one.
The last mile is a natural monopoly, you dipshit. Nobody wants to run multiple cables to their house.
There are already companies that do exactly that. They are called "overbuilders" and I've worked for a few of them. The problem is the initial investment to run the infrastructure is high and there is no guaranteed return because their business depends on their ability to steal customers away from the incumbent carrier.
It costs much less to roll out the lines in decades past than now. Executives at these companies tell me it's actually cheaper to buy an existing market from a carrier than string one from scratch now. That's one reason why there are issues with poor trunk infrastructure for so many ISPs -- the original lines were run when it was cheap, they have gone through their normal useful life, and the current owners cannot/don't want to pay for their replacement at current costs for that work.
Spotify is a music site. Aren't discussions like this off topic for the entire forum?
They could probably set up automated moderating to remove posts with certain keywords, required-review for the first several posts by new users, etc and stop a large swath of these before they even show up. But that would be too much work for the company.
Everyone wants their own little walled-garden area for social interaction between users, but no one wants to take the responsibility for administrating them anymore. The result is Disqus embedded everywhere, and that appears to be not-moderated at all in my experience.
None of the comments effected the review, whether for or against. The FCC was going to roll back Net Neutrality anyway, so who cares if they did or did not investigate the issue? They have made their lack of morals and accountability abundantly clear.
And Clean Technica notes that that battery is comprised of 1,000 individual lithium-ion packs, while "Adding enough power to carry more cargo is simply a matter of adding more battery packs."
Adding more battery packs also leaves less space to carry cargo, though.
Why do these stories treat age as a relevant thing to the topic on hand?
Probably to make some commentary on how poor Uber's security was. They're pointing out some random young guy was able to do it (as opposed to a "mature security researcher with decades of experience").
Can confirm. I was a teen during the mentioned period, and I was an absolute tank at numpad typing. T9 autopredection was terrible, though.
I found it fairly reliable. The biggest mistake I saw was with its prediction for the word "plates". The phone would suggest slaves first -- making for some interesting messages about shopping I was doing.
I may sign up for one subscription, but I'm not going to get $10/month subscriptions for 20 different websites that I occasionally visit.
The problem isn't really the number of sites, it's the per site cost. I'm willing to get multiple subscriptions, but most websites have a VERY inflated sense of what their content is worth.
How do news organizations pay reporters to investigate stories?
I think that ship sailed years ago, and it wasn't falling advertising revenue (although I'm sure news organizations will try to blame that) -- It was plain corporate greed.
In today's reality-entertainment-fueled culture news organizations realized content filled more with Op-Ed than hard fact-finding still passed off as a "news report", and was much cheaper than investigating stories, staffing people to check facts before press, maintaining foreign bureaus, or flying reporters to locations to get the story.
You don't have to check facts on suppositions and opinions, and people will accept it as a legitimate story when the same talking head on the screen is giving it.
Well, apparently he doesn't understand Free Speech.
I mean, corporations are supposed to be people, right? These corporations are just exercising their right to Free Speech in publicly opposing his Net Neutrality repeal, and he's complaining about it.
...who brought you the Ribbon. And Windows 8's "Tablet interface for desktops".
And even better, since it will be part of Windows 10 you're already on track to receive it -- as part of those updates you can't decline like you could before.
And what about Facebook? What's their "secret sauce"? I think it's the huge staff of psychologists who have turned it into a platform for manipulating people's minds...
There is no "secret sauce". Facebook just got much, much, much bigger than the other networking sites. The higher it gets, the longer it will take to fall to Earth. We have already passed "Peak Facebook" in the U.S., its continued growth in user numbers is driven by emerging markets getting online. With the recent revelations about Russia and other governments using it to manipulate public opinion and influence politics, you will see fewer people use it as a news source, which will further weaken the reason to visit it.
Yes, you're right. Absolutely. Up until the last sentence, though. The now-exemplary social network is Facebook, and, like it or not, it is an institution. Don't believe me? It has a global Alexa rank of 3....That's about as institution-like as you can get. (2 and 1 are Youtube and Google, respectively). Wikipedia is 5. RT is a paltry 397.
Tumblr, for comparison is 54 globally, 23 in the US. Those are also institution-level numbers. While yes, there is expected to be ebb-and-flow in usage and popularity of a site,
Alexa popularity ranks are only snapshots of that specific time they are run. They will fluctuate or drop completely. What was MySpace's peak rating?
Also, unlike a social networking site, reference sites have lasting value in their databases and archived articles. Social networking is created to be a communication platform and a way of keeping up-to-date with people. Like a news site that never gets new articles published, it soon becomes irrelevant except to historians (and since social networking is not a valid reference source for citing, it doesn't even have that going for it).
Tumblr is among the big players. As others have pointed out, Yahoo has a strong history of either buying at the worst possible moment, or of buying and destroying through ineptitude or neglect, and that's far more likely to be driving it's current loss in traffic.
I agree on this. Long term, Yahoo's management will be what really causes Tumblr to go, but it will only exacerbate what would have happened naturally.
Like any social networking site, its popularity is very fragile and dependent on who its userbase it.
Just like Friendster, and MySpace, at some point it will fall out of favor. It's kinda like nightclubs. If it becomes too easy to get into it and starts being populated by blue-hairs and corporate shills, all the cool kids will move on and it will cease being the cool place to hang out.
Tumblr being bought by Yahoo was the first major step to that status.
All these social networking sites want to reach a place in the online landscape where they are not a fad, and become an institution of the online world (like Wikipedia or Rotten Tomatoes). That has not happened yet.

Why not offer their content on rival devices through an App?
You mean like they just did earlier this month?

I bet Russia has a few vendors showing interest.
You're posting as AC. They wont see a reason to moderate something at -1 already.

Biggest one I've seen is -- duh.

What's kind of puzzling is that you can already do some of this with Siri:
Guess what Siri uses for that ability. ;-)

Maybe they're touching it wrong.
Owners should focus on foreplay a bit more and meeting the phone's emotional needs.
But that doesn't work with 57 does it?
