The San Francisco-based company is backed by plenty of Silicon Valley investors including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, GV and DBL Partners. Other investors include Thrive Capital, Campbell Soup Company, Acre Venture Partners, Two Sigma Ventures, and First Beverage Group.
Nice job 'redistributing the wealth', Juicero. But that's giving Juicero too much credit. They were apparently not 'smart cynics', but were 'dumbass vegan true believers'. They apparently spent the money overbuilding the juicer, rather than just taking it and running as they should have.
Nobody knows how it will turn out for Putin. Depends on if the euros step up their defense spending. If they do, Putin has hurt Russia's long term position.
If we really wanted to get Russia's attention, we'd ship Germany 10000 metric tons of steel and 1 metric ton on weapons grade. Putin would _shit_ itself on camera.
The fact is Russia is now an economic basket case with a large arsenal of nukes. Just a resource exporter/price taker, like Nigeria
Every nation claims to be for free trade. They all lie. It's about the political power of domestic producers.
For example: Sugar beats are not an economic crop. They can't compete. If a nation grows sugar beats, you know they protect their sugar market. Germany grows a lot of sugar beats.
They're _all_ mercantilists, China more than anybody.
Not very hard, just time consuming and prone to leaving dust and other shit in between the layers. The bigger the screen, the trickier the panels are to work with.
LED backlights are significantly harder to swap out than fluorescent ones were. You have to disassemble the set to get to them. If you have to pay retail tech rates, you might as well buy a new one.
Just how big do you think a 600W panel is? Hint at 100% efficiency you see about 1kW/square meter at noon on a clear tropical day. 12% efficiency is typical.
Puerto Rico's public power company is constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. That's nobody's fault but the local government. They're the ones that try to use it as a welfare program without the government paying for the 'free power for all', just denying the power company the ability to get paid.
I'm the same guy who flys RC model predator drones near groups of paranoids. (Occutards, gun shows, commies, right wing nuts, greenies. I'm an equal opportunity paranoia feeder. Truth: For the last 2 years the left has been so unhinged, it would be a crime to not further incite and provoke them. The tea party was fun in it's day.)
In my experience, past a certain size (about 100 employees) HR disease sets in. Unless I exclude those, HR is an arbitrary, capricious, unfriendly layer that I have to game my way through. No telling what's on the other side, could be a shithole, could be OK.
I always repeat the old saying: 'The time to burn a bridge is _before_ you cross it.' You have no link to that bridge, it will never come up again, you don't want it too. I've learned to 'smell' the really bad ones, first visit to office.
Name brands don't want you. You have to goto the lowest, cheapest, chineseist stores and buy the 'Sceptre' or equivalent.
But good news, wait for sale and ridiculously cheap, and not too bad so long as you get a good one. Be ready to go back, but think twice if it's just a pixel defect or two, next one could be worse. The quality control is terrible, but there are good ones.
Cheap dumb 4K TVs are _much_ cheaper and use the same IPS panels.
They are good enough. Wally world. You might go laps to get a good one. Quality control is crap.
You can't find a name brand dumb 4K TV. Don't waste your time looking. The cheap ones appear identical except for badging. Wait for sales, they loss lead with these all the time. Get there early, so they'll have more in stock if you get a crap one.
Funny, I saw smart TVs in the EU. Phones, cars with connected navi, cameras everywhere etc etc.
Global market, same models.
'Thought about'...right, real real helpful.
What are they up too now? 14 eyes? FYI everybodies governments have been spying on each other citizens since WWII. Formalized after the war, started as 3 eyes. America, the UK and Australia agreed to spy on each others citizens, 'end running' all constitutional privacy protections in all 'cuntries' involved.

When someone is running a rigged game, I either figure out how to use it for my advantage or I find another game.
No, do business with EU companies in the USA. Serve pages to EU customers from servers located in 'free enough' places.

Abortion has been a black/brown genocide! Look at the numbers, it is clear.

Fair enough. Let's count the total violent megadeaths in the 20th century...not the answer you want?
Europe certainly needed adult supervision in 1946, perhaps they can get their act together now, but I wouldn't count on it.
The feds can't afford to pay interest on their debt. Neither can any western european government.
Everything else is an unintended consequence.

Move my servers out of the EU. Close EU offices. Raise finger.

The US military has thousands of nuclear weapons, I only have three...What are they worried about?
I'm saying get a cheap dumb 4k for your next set.
Nothing lasts 10 years anymore. The LEDs back lights are wired in series, like cheap christmas tree lights.
To prevent that, vote with your dollars and get one of the cheap ones today.
The name brands have made me a non-customer by ignoring my market segment.

And yet you feel the need to respond?
The fact is you are too fucking stupid to get a joke, the FCC has actual jobs, none of which it has been doing, for decades.
I could be poisoning the well, right now.

I see your point, good luck with that.

If you're lucky enough to live in a city with a legal drag, go there for street car day, leave the progressive dongle plugged in.
Then maybe, if you have a lot of money and business on the line. Uncle Charlie has always been hard to arouse, at the best of times.
Break out the linears guys. Uncle Charlie is sleeping!

I hope my neighbors are looking forward to hearing my 'experiments' on every speaker in their houses. Even when the house mains are disconnected.

They are only on one input. Not that the 'real computer' on the other is in any way better.
Also some of them can be rooted, which is true of smart TVs too. But fucking up is much more expensive for the TV case.
In any case a good, somewhat trustworthy media player app can improve the privacy situation a lot. If the app doesn't leak information.
