Comcast over-leverages itself with debt trying to get the money for this "all cash offer" and then fails to do anything successful with the pieces (e.g. under their control X-men ends up being Dark Universe 2) and eventually ends up having to sell it to Disney anyways at a huge net loss.
In a real startup, the risk is offset by the possibility of getting a piece of the profits if things go well.
In crowdfunding you accept all of the risk in exchange for none of the reward. Palmer Luckey turns your $2.5 million into $2 billion and you don't see a dime.
Whatever volumes of data a machine analyzes, it cannot understand what a human gets intuitively. From the time we are infants, we organize our experiences into causes and effects.
All jobs are pointless. If you have meaning in your life it's because you managed to create it yourself out of the pointlessness of your existence, not because there was inherent meaning in it.
her doctors suggest that physicians and medical device companies add lightning strikes to the list of things patients with electrodes implanted in their brains should watch out for
Have physicians and medical device companies been recommending people in general seek out lightning strikes?
Previous satellite based internet used geostationary satellites (26,199 miles up). These new proposals are using multiple satellites in low earth orbit (100 -1240 miles up) that would off an acceptable ping time vs. landline broadband.
...how he thinks the other 11 countries, who went ahead without the US and have completed a deal of their own, are going to suddenly reopen negotiations just because he wants them to.

Being in a niche sometimes means you have to pay more than the mass market does. But if you don't support your niche, it eventually gets abandoned.
I have it on a machine I bought from them in November. It's mostly just a minimalist Ubuntu distro that comes with the System76 firmware and an custom "app store" style interface for apt-get.
I like it, but it's hard to really think of it as a distinct distro yet.
I gather they have plans to build more customization into it over time though.
The universe is entirely static, a four dimensional object where everything that has or will happen exists simultaneously in an eternally unchanging state.
Our perception of it dynamically changing over time is an illusion of senses only perceiving a single "slice" of that object.
Furthermore, our consciousness is not continuous, but rather a disconnected multitude, each trapped forever in a specific moment of our lives. Each convinced it has a history because of the illusion of memory. Each convinced it has free will because of the illusion of action.
Of course he wants regulation. Regulation will make it much harder for potential competitors to get started, helping Facebook maintain its market dominant position.
Using a game controller is completely different from using a touchscreen smart phone/tablet. That's what kids do today. The only thing they use their hands for are swiping from one YouTube video to the next.
Decades from now YouTube will be blamed for all of this. I mean hell, they're shifting their whole damn business model to cater to kids and push everyone else off. Gotta get that money and kids are easily addicted targets.
I'd just like to point out we've officially reached the point where Millennials are looking down their noses at "kids these days" for being too lazy and not playing video games like they did as kids.

People who join crowdfunding are rubes.
In which case you can just wait and buy the product once it's actually available.
Yeah, and as the large number of questionable cause fallcies demonstrate, we're actually terrible at it.

I like 16:10 even for desktops, and it irritates me how hard it is getting to find them.

So Microsoft is literally reserving the right to permanently lock you out of your own desktop if it doesn't like what you're doing it.
If we have evidence of their existence, then they aren't causally disconnected from our region of space time.
Not only is Eternalism compatible with General Relativity, Einstein himself subscribed to that view of the universe.
It's Presentism (the belief that the future and past don't exist at all, only an evolving present) that is precluded by relativity.

So Musk wants to ban all computer programming outside a corporate environment essentially.
If the trade is only in one direction, than China is giving us all their stuff for free.
I'm not sure why that should bother me.
