Really, how does this help America? It only makes me suspicious that Trump or some of his buddies want to swoop in and get the stock for pennies on the dollar.
Yep, he probably bought up gazillions of shares last week when they collapsed. Now he's using his position as President to boost his personal retirement fund.
Nope! A few days after I got my first iPhone, I got drunk and I had to call Apple tech support from a public pay phone so they would remind me how to unlock my iPhone.
2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros have faulty and unreliable keyboards. It's about time for Apple to 1. Admit it, 2. Fix it.
Without knowing the details: Fixing the Surface Pros could be as simple as replacing a $0.10 capacitor. This could cost Microsoft very little.
Apple, OTOH, are screwed. Apple really needs to fix this bit it'll cost them an awful lot of money. They've got billions in the bank, sure, the real question is: Have they got a more reliable keyboard that's as low profile as the abomination they put in the MB Pro?
If they have to redesign the Macbook with a proper keyboard and replace them all then it serves 'em right for listening to design teams instead of engineers, IMHO.
...so that emergency services and the people who recover cars that have been in serious accidents can remove the fire hazard (it's the energy in the battery that is the source of energy in lithium battery fires) by simply discharging the battery into the ground.
The most difficult part of that cunning plan would be doing it in a way that the DOC didn't notice and then simply apply the exact same ban to the new company.
there will be no more gains to be had for the average person.
Bitcon's gains ran out months ago. I can't see any "large investors" buying bitcoin these days.
It will be easily manipulated for the benefit of the banksters.
It's already easily manipulated by the handful of Chinese miners who have a large percentage of the coins.
Just look at the Bitcoin price history; it goes up in stairsteps, completely unlike any normal stick price. Up, up, up in small volumes then sudden high volume trading and crash. Very obvious that people are pumping and dumping.
The only reason Bitcoin is hanging on is because of all the shysters advertising it to the marks. Now Wall Street wants some of that action? It may be too late. As soon as pumping/dumping stops working for the Chinese they'll just cash in and retire (if they've got any sense). That moment will be the end of Bitcoin.
I want to know how they'll 3D scan your face when you're buying your tickets from home.
Apple sheep aside: How many people have a big brother style facial scanner at home?
And b) The gates aren't going to simply open and let you waltz right in, they'll still want to make sure you aren't smuggling your own drinks+snacks into the area.
Whatever the reasons behind this multi million dollar investment are, we can be sure it ISN'T for user convenience.
I don't care that some company might have scraped my public profile info through one of my friends installing an app
It's not about YOU, is it?
There are plenty of people who do have good reason to care if that data went public - they might be (eg.) a gay atheist or something. Being publicly outed because one of their contacts downloaded a dumb app that starts spewing that information everywhere could have serious consequences for many people.
You're not the spokesperson for the Internet. Grow up and learn there's other people in the world.

In 2 years a $400 computer will be better than yours.
Just sayin'.
Literally, What The Fuck?!!!
He's a fucking buffoon with no coherent plan for anything.
His "plan" might be to short a few million shares in ZTE before each presidential announcement.

That was last century. Things have changed.

The funny part is that most Trump supporters are in the "Better dead than red" club but they're perfectly OK with this.

You know that would take hours, right?
The most difficult part of that cunning plan would be doing it in a way that the DOC didn't notice and then simply apply the exact same ban to the new company.
Don't worry. That "interstellar travel" thing? Not gonna happen.
If people want the "experience" of rewinding tapes, taking five minutes to change to a different album, etc. then nobody here should try to stop them.
All we need is a law to prevent them bragging about the "experience" in public places.
If you have off-duty cops who pull guns on people for suspicion of stealing Mentos then they deserve shooting, yes.
(And does your friend think that pointing guns at people is a friendly gesture?)
So? They won't be buying any coins so they don't set the price.
(They can only make the price go down by increasing the supply)
Yep, a week is much too long.
Why would you even need data access when it's locked anyway? How hard is it to unlock it when you need that?

So it's Jupiter and Venus that's putting all the extra CO2 into the atmosphere? Thanks for sorting that out for us.
PS: I read somewhere that mars is responsible for all the plastic bottles floating in the ocean. We can probably relax about that one, too.
One useless parasite down. That's a start.
Go, GDPR!
So... invent a way to insert the astronauts very quickly after fueling.
I'm sure it can be done in a few seconds. What do they do at the moment, walk up the stairs?
Much simpler solution that's infallible:
Put a QR code on the tickets with the person's name and the last four digits of the credit card used to pay for them.
Scan the ticket, swipe the card, you're in. Now go to the metal detectors and bag search queue, which takes much longer.
Don't have that credit card? Go over to the other queue and show your ID.
It would be very difficult for scalpers to beat that and it's a lot cheaper and more likely to work than facial recognition.
If they're doing it "for the fans" then the problem can be solved a lot easier than this.
eg. By printing names on tickets and requiring people to show ID. I'm sure a true fan wouldn't mind that.
It's also pretty much garanteed to work, unlike this system. I bet the foul-ups caused by this will make quite a few headline stories.
Do you even own a face scanner?
It's online sales, how are they even going to scan people?
(Apple sheep aside)
Ticket scalping has been a problem since these events were created.
So? How does that affect Ticketmaster? Why would they invest millions of dollars to prevent it?
Scalping is only a problem for buyers, not for sellers.
Because you get to select an area to copy I guess, instead of catching the whole screen.
Yeah, that'll save loads of time. Selecting an area in Paint is soooo tedious.
I want to know how they'll 3D scan your face when you're buying your tickets from home.
