The point is employees don't train robots to do their jobs. Technicians program machines to perform the tasks the humans did before. So clearly some of these "new workers" don't run on AC power.
As though Trump would know anything about competition.
He only won his "competition" with Russians stepping up their social engineering techniques on a gullible public, and the GOP blocking votes from being being counted in congressional races.
the fee is still so large that it could "put her out of business," the news report said
Since Candace Lestina essentially "inherited" the business, and the crappy service, that sounds like the service is actually in the business's name, not an individuals. So -- fold.
The Pardeeville Area Shopper declares bankruptcy from early termination fee -- but first it sells all its assets off to a new company. Company B licences/rents those same assets back to the original company to use. The bankruptcy of course means that arrangement ends. Assets are now the property of Company B. Employees (being one person) get laid off. Frontier is left holding the empty shell of the previous company, Ms Lestina moves on to the new company and starts up again under the new name.
Want to make a video on a political topic? Nope, that's getting demonitized. Can't take a chance that someone sees and ad next to a video of something that might offend them.
Advertisers can rest easy then. They don't have to worry about me ever affiliating them with a topic or viewpoint they don't want to be, since I don't see any of the ads on YouTube anyway.
The total journey will take several months, with a landing anticipated in mid-April.
It's nearing the start of February now. Is that a typo meant to read "several weeks"? Usually "several months" is not a term used to describe a length of time that's more than a year away.
Since they can't gather the telemetry from folks not using their crappy browser and crappy search engine, they needed a way to grab it from the competitors.
Reminds me of that trend a few years back of every webmail provider wanting you to set up your third-party email accounts in their service and letting Yahoo/Hotmail/AOL log in and collect your other email for you. It was pretty much the opposite of what people wanted to do (set up the free account to forward to their "real" email address).
Or, more recently, the existence of "Gmail the mobile app". Why use the mail client native to Android when you can use a whole other app instead for your Gmail account. Oh! And you should set up all your other email accounts in it, too. So they're all conveniently in one place, of course.
If he's not a customer now, he can become one. Unless you're implying people sign some blood-oath never to change platforms. Even if he was on a contract paying off his phone, he could decide he is so fed up with his current phone he's going to get something else. I'm not saying that would happen over USB-C functionality (since the seems to be how you're misconstruing my post). I'm simply saying if he has the financial means he is always a potential customer.
He's someone who, in large numbers, would change the market-share of the product
Changing to USB-C would not pull in large numbers of new customers, obviously.
Yeah, and that's not what I said -- obviously. He's a person who is currently using Brand X phone and not Brand Y. If a large number of people not using a certain brand of device abandon what they have, and change to that device, then the market share of that device will change. That's basic arithmetic.
No, he's a potential new customer, which actually makes him more valuable. He's someone who, in large numbers, would change the market-share of the product. Getting people off competitors' products and onto yours is a higher priority for businesses, or do you think it's just an odd accident people switching from one broadband provider to another get discounts and loyal customers get nothing? Or that people get bonus rebates at their local Ford dealer when they trade in a similarly-classed Chevy vehicle?
Once you have a customer under your umbrella it's easier to keep them there, because many people don't want to go through the hassle change entails, so you can spend more energy trying to create churn that benefits you.
USB-C is better in the long run, but that doesn't make it better now.
It's not going to "get better" later. They already have Lightning chargers, cables, and accessories now, and they will still have them three years from now too, as long as new iPhone models continue to use Lightning ports. They have to buy new everything at some point, unless Apple starts releasing iPhones with both Lightning and USB-C ports, and then does an actual transition of introducing new accessories slowly that are USB-C. Fat chance on that.
The biggest problem with bitcoin is that there is no consideration as to the cost to the environment. Those that are dishonest can better exploit bitcoin than those that are honest.
Isn't this true about any form of currency? Or, to be more precise, about any wealth-generating activity? Using finite resources in an irresponsible/dishonest way is always more profitable than "doing the right thing". That's why we have issues with deforestation in South America, environmental devastation from strip-mining in North America, hazardous waste pollution in China, etc. More ecologically friendly ways of maintaining adequate farmland, removing mineral resources, and reducing/disposing of industrial waste would all have a negative impact on the profit/reward for the effort. Naturally, people who care nothing about these things and are able to do so with impunity are going to be at an advantage.
Just sayin'.... if it's so fucking smart, it'll find a good candidate.
Someone didn't RTFS it looks like:
The first AI assistant to see wide adoption thanks to its inclusion in 2011's iPhone 4S, Siri's capabilities have fallen behind competing systems marketed by Amazon and Google. Apple is looking to Giannandrea to rectify the situation.
The whole reason they are looking for a new head is because, compared to Google and Amazon's Alexa, Siri isn't smart.
If this supposed to be a commercial for the software it's a failure. The side-by-side results show an obvious muddy texture on the skin on the after side. If you're entire production is really soft focus, I guess it might blend in, but otherwise it looks like you hired a moron for a video compressionist.
Apple doesn't build TVs. So they are not going to lose customers to Samsung with this.
You mean, except those people who were buying an Apple TV to use with their Samsung TV, and now now longer have a convincing reason to buy the expensive Apple streaming device?
If they were smart they would have plugged the phone into the charger the previous night before they went to sleep. Ta-da! Wake up to a fully charged phone ready for the day, and you get better battery longevity since you can slow-charge it overnight instead of fast-charging it the next day.
seeing this happen more and more from different monthly subscription services. wondering how long it will be before apple pull the apps from their store.
It will happen just as soon as Apples decides they don't want those customers anymore. There are a lot of other, coincidentally cheaper, devices that will display these third-party services just as good an ones made by Apple. Until Apple starts making original content better than Netflix and HBO (guffaw), Apple will be needing them more than they need Apple.
Plot twist: The agency was silently renamed the "Environmental Pollution Agency" some time ago. Only the media assumes "E.P.A." means the same thing it did before in their reporting.

Blah. I mean the end of February there. I think I originally began writing "start of March" and changed my wording mid-sentence.

I can only hope the date string is interpreted by Google Maps itself, and not handled by Android or the handset hardware.
Imagine you GPS functionality becoming useless because you're not getting an Android update since the handset manufacturer considers your phone EOL.

False.
If he's not a customer now, he can become one. Unless you're implying people sign some blood-oath never to change platforms.

Who cares? You're not a customer.

Not quite. The word "iPhone" does not appear in the title.

All Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting April 2nd.
So if you commented on Slashdot using Google sign-in, does that mean you comments will be deleted or changed to AC comments?

Using it in things like political ads, well, that's a different question.
If you're choosing a leader based on their physical attractiveness, you deserve to be disenfranchised.
Yo Dawg! I heard you like movies...
I don't think we can take much more of this winning.
