Why would the LED be ON to signify 'normal'? Seems like the last thing I'd want is a light shining in my eye most of the time. Seems like a red blip for HIGH glucose and a blue blip for LOW would be great, or at least something similar.
Duh.
How would you distinguish between "broken" and "flat battery" using your armchair-engineer methodology?
This sounds like they have a manufacturing bottle neck in the supply chain.
They could ramp up production but they know the demand is just as much of a bubble as cryptocoins are. They don't want to be left with empty factories when it bursts.
They don't have to ban any exchanges, they just have to understand blockchains.
Your bitcoins only belong to you if more than 50% of the bitcoin mines agree that they do. A government-level agent with as many nodes as the NSA could easily spoof that if they wanted to "confiscate" somebody's bitcoins.
I could point that it went down by 50% in the last few weeks. Is anybody here betting it's about to quadruple in the near future? If so, I've got some Bitcoin to sell you...
Why is it that every time climate change gets brought up it's 30 or 40 assumptions deep into a chain of cold-sweat fever dreams about shit that people can totally live without anyway?
What sort of mouthbreathing drooltard can't make the connection between whole classes of trees dying and big problems on planet earth?
This isn't smartphone factories that are closing because of bad weather.
New music has always sounded crap. It's a case of Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) combined with survivor bias (the 10% that isn't crap is more likely to be remembered and still played much later). For every great song you can remember from a prior decade, there are nine more that were such complete crap that you don't even remember that they were briefly popular.
Also: Kids will always tend to prefer things that make their parents angry. It makes them feel like "rebels".
How about the US gov. makes an official tracking app available for download on the app store. You can install it and it'll send your exact location to them at all times to make you safer.

Global warming and ocean acidification are other reasons.
But, hey, the economy is up, right?
You're not thinking hard enough. People need to know if the battery is working or not.

I expect that by 2025 we'll be close to the point where you can book a room in a private space station.
What you mean "we", white man? Are you one of the one percent who could afford it? I won't be going, and neither will most Slashdotters.
Um, "Bitcoin".
Buy one today and you'll easily have enough money by 2025.
It's nonsensical to think that people would seek alternatives to the cheaper method that they're already using.
All that tar is tasty.

Why would they ever need to sell them? They'll all be millionaires who won't care about the $50 a used graphics card will be worth by then.
This sounds like they have a manufacturing bottle neck in the supply chain.

It's just ignorance.
There's articles on the internet, people still believe they can get free money at home.
You'd think they could make something just for miners and cash in.
Even if it's just saving a few cents on the video connectors and calling it a "headerless" card for $5 less.
When do you estimate we'll start valuing the US dollar against the Bitcoin instead of the other way around?

it goes up far more than it goes down.
The word you're looking for is "went".
it went up far more than it went down.
That's better.

...and this will be the downfall of this system.
As soon as people walk in and see a bag of rice where the new Xbox is supposed to be then it's game over for Amazon Go.
The only way it can work is if they restrict it to cheap stuff that nobody would invest much effort to steal, eg. bags of rice.
But I happened to bring in a block that weighs the same as this item I'm too broke to get. Decisions decisions.
A true hacker would know how much each product weighs and leave cheap items where the expensive items were.

But there's still that liquid-abortion that is artificial syrup.
Sure, but only poor people will have to use that.
This story is just "fake news" to anybody with money.
Wheeeee!

How about a compromise?
How about the US gov. makes an official tracking app available for download on the app store. You can install it and it'll send your exact location to them at all times to make you safer.
ie. It's voluntary.
I pray you don't have a heart attack and need 911 tell first responders how to find you in a hurry.
"pray", yep that tells me a lot.
How about it's voluntary. You can download and install "Official government tracking app" if you want.
That way you'll be safe, OK?
