Which it can't be, because the transaction throughput is far too low.
It's fine. The Blockstream Core code is creaky, but the guys at Bitcoin Unlimited have made several fixes and optimizations, easily managing 32MB blocks now, and have mined gigabyte blocks on TestNet.
Nice theory, but... for that to work you have to convince the majority of bitcoin miners to adopt it voluntarily. There's no way to force an upgrade.
Guess what? The debate is already over. Most of the major mining operations have said they aren't interested, some of the biggest miners even made death threats to the people proposing it.
Then maybe, just maybe, hand the money to somebody else? Like... I dunno, local startup companies and then pass some tough laws that kept the big boys from gouging and stepping on the little guys? Then maybe break down the existing regional Telco monopolies into smaller units. That's what they did in 'socialist' Europe.
Small guys getting bigger isn't on the US agenda.
I'm getting a kick out of this article because I live in a second-world country and I pay 30 Eurobucks/month for an individual fiber all the way to my PC, 600Mbit up/down speed (symmetrical).
(It actually delivers, too. I've never done a speedtest and got less than the full rate, usually I get a little bit more).
Many, starting with rural kids having a powerful tool to educate themselves. When you are, for example, trying to understand how a sorting algorithm works one you tube video showing the algorithm at work can save you hours of pouring over books and mathematical formulas. In this regard there are nothing but benefits, even for adults (...and yes, there is also porn since somebody is bound to point that out). It promotes tourism and industry in remote areas to have a proper internet connection since it makes device addicted wealthy urbainites more likely to go there, it enables farmers to process their produce into food products they can sell directly to the consumer,... the list goes on. Internet connecting rural populations has all kinds of positive effects on rural areas.
Nobody's debating that.
The problem is that the telcos were already handed hundreds of billions of $$$ to build a rural network.
They didn't deliver last time around, what's changed?
Plus we already paid to roll out nationwide fiber, but the telecom companies just pocketed the cash.
This.
The US already paid $200 billion to the Telcos (some claim $400 billion, it's hard to say exactly how much because it was a tax credit) for nationwide broadband. They didn't deliver.
Rolex used to make the best watches in the world. They invented all sorts of things like jeweled movements, waterproofing, etc. They were the first wristwatches to be granted a "chronometer" certification - a Rolex really was worth more money in your grandpa's day.
These days? Not so much. Lots of other companies make comparable watches. Rolex is just a brand name.
Communist Party of China monitoring app is pre-installed.
So? What would the Chinese government possibly do with my data?
If my data is being uploaded to a government I'd rather have a government that's far away and has no personal interest in me. It's much better than having the NSA app preinstalled.
Since the original topic just to remind you, is Apple getting third party app data... which again they do not, as you just admitted while taking about something else for some reason.
Apple doesn't want third party data because they already have all the valuable stuff anyway.
The AI will progress much faster if you turn the simulators into puzzle games where people try to set up weird situations and make the car do something stupid.
Deliveries of items ordered delayed past the original stated date must be refunded, or at least you must seek the approval of every customer who pre-ordered to allow the order to stand.
Tesla allows you to cancel your order at any time.
...can only run applications from the Windows Store — specifically Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps and Win32 apps that Microsoft has explicitly approved
Well, that was a complete waste of time and development capital.
I can predict accurately how many of these things they're going to sell: 0

So you deny global warming, and can't see any flaws in the current financial system that bitcoin can solve.
You're a closed-minded idiot. Got it.
And if you don't know that a single Bitcoin transaction needs 250kWh of power then you haven't been paying attention.
PS: At only five or six transactions per second it's not going to solve any of the major flaws in the financial system, either.

How about a "national mission" to get bigger yards for city dwellers who already have fast internet?
it''s that the goggle cut you off from the real world.
Yep.
But ... google cardboard is very cool. "VR" works best in short 30-second blasts with no cables.
The US government would love to do all that, too.

Can't you root it and then have it make your UEM thing believe it's not rooted?
With Xiaomi you can.
The Chinese government doesn't care about foreigners so you can ask them for an unlock key for the phone.
(They actually give it to you, too, after they verify you're a foreigner. I've done it...)

One word: "Siri".
Disagree.

Driving aimlessly around the roads takes ages.
Super simple.
I walk-jog about 30-45 minutes at least 3-4 days a week.
I do very light weight training with dumbells 3-4 days a week.
Nothing more. I also significantly reduced my calorie intake by cutting junkfood mostly.
And the result was because of the exercise, not the significant reduction in calorie intake, right?
(facepalm)
You day this despite the fact that there is no shred of demonstrable proof that any car has ever driven on its own safer than a human.
No, apart from all those millions of miles clocked up by self driving cars.
180km/h is about the average speed on German roads.
Use the "lite" version if all you want is mp3.

Nah, it's just walrus farts.
"Just switching to renewable energy for manufacturing would slash emissions by 65 percent, according to Transport & Environment," reports Bloomberg.
But, hey, let's spend another trillion dollars on "defense" this year.
We certainly needed all that military capability last, year, right?
(And the year before. And the year before that.)
