The two Starlink satellites were just proof-of-concept test satellites. These six satellites are the first of the fully finished production satellites. I'd say OneWeb is ahead of Starlink, not the other way around.
This should have more upvotes. The difference is that with a fiat currency, the actual âoemoneyâ is an abstract concept that can be fixed as needed, and the register is just something to help keep track of it. With BitCoin, the transaction âoeregisterâ is the âoeactual money valueâ, and thatâ(TM)s why things like this can happen.
Yep and then in both of these cases the evidence will be thrown out of court. The point isn't to stop the police from being physically able to do something, it's to take away the incentive. If using the fingerprints they gathered when they booked you to unlock your phone results in the whole case being thrown out of court for lack of admissible evidence, and a civil counter-suit quickly filed by the person who was arrested, the police are going to stop doing that. Quickly. As someone once said on this board, it's the Judicial version of "Judge Hulk SMASH."
"the report concludes that artificial intelligence will disrupt the industry by allowing early adopters to outmaneuver competitors"
Uh, yeah. Like steam engines or telephones.
"The dynamics of machine learning create a strong incentive to network the back office"
Umm... like the same thing as using a CRM. Or email.
Don't get me wrong - AI terrifies me in a lot of ways. But I'm not worried about these kinds of risks. Seem silly.
"Corporate isn't really our target audience, so this is a low priority issue."
Yeah, corporate SALES are not their target SALES audience. Guess who is their target audience? Higher-income corporate employees, mostly. Who need to connect to their work accounts. It's amazing how narrow-sighted their approach to playing nicely with ActiveSync is. It makes all of their most valuable individual customers extremely frustrated.
Right to repair doesn't matter when the manufacturer designs them as disposable, and their "warranty" is a "replacement warranty". You'll never be able to force manufacturers to design a crappier product held together by screws and zip ties, when it makes more sense to build one welded together or filled with epoxy. I don't want a phone, frankly, where you can remove the buttons with a screwdriver. I want a phone that is compact and feels really sturdy, like one piece, backed by the manufacturer being willing to just swap it out if it fails.
When the median house price in San Francisco is over $1.6m, using the 1/3rds rule, you need to be making $533k in salary to realistically own a home there. People are starting to realize you can live on an acre of horse property, with an eight bedroom mansion, in most of the rest of the country and still have money left over to feed the horses for the same amount. And the startup talent in SF is also mostly becoming kids that think they know how to be successful because they have a cool idea for an app, with no business or technology training or experience...
At it's heart, Amazon is a technology company. It's filled with technologists, and the success it has had in retail is, in some ways, a side effect.
At it's heart, Walmart is a bulk purchasing company and a real estate company. It is filled with buyers and real estate experts.
Microsoft doesn't care about Walmart succeeding in retail, it cares about selling more cloud processing to Walmart, by making things more complicated and AI-driven, requiring more computing power. It's like teaming up with IBM.
I shop at Walmart all the time in their brick and mortar stores, but Walmart will never be able to compete with Amazon online, because the experience will be clunky, due to the factors above. Amazon has a very seamless online buying experience, and excellent customer service, and that's what people care about when purchasing things online.
It's Google Glass all over again. The folks running this program are looking at it as a technological curiosity, not how it could be integrated into society.
The funny thing with BitCoin is that you have technology specialists mostly talking about it, instead of economists or historians. Some history is helpful:

Agreed. The purpose of this lawsuit is to force the courts to make a decision on how these patent infringements will be decided. I gives them precedent and understanding for future patent decisions, for both companies.
It's not just a patent that says "a colorful grid of icons." For example, one of Apple's patents is 364 pages with 293 illustrations. Scroll through this puppy a bit. The trial was also detail focused to this same degree. So it's not "we have a grid of icons". It's "let's take several weeks to show you how specifically we were copied." There is a fairly high bar to show patent infringement, imho. IANAL.

Which makes sense, because they are working for you. As a California resident, think of yourself as one of the executives of the company. Of course you should know the salary of the people that work for you, because you're paying them.
From reading the blog post carefully, it looks like this is designed for credit card processing verification at the point of service. Allowing the gas station's credit card processor to verify you really are at the gas station your credit card is being used at. So in that use case, they would already have your location because they know where the POS terminal is located. This doesn't seem too concerning to me, but they should probably provide an opt-out.
Honestly, many of the folks that go to Burning Man are Juicero's target market. They're relatively wealthy (enough to fund a week of living in the desert, often in quite a bit of style). They're focused on nature and on being healthy. A lot of other wealthy people attend. If he's looking for customers or a purchaser, that's an ideal place to go. So think of it more like attending a critical industry conference.
Civilization is three square meals from anarchy. Always sobering to remember. And it's true - if you have kids, and they don't have food to eat, how long do you think you would maintain the status quo, before trying to find some way to feed them?

That is... fascinating. Wow.
It's the same thing as the McRib. Just sayin'. No reason we can't have the McRib all year. NO REASON!

Lol ok, point taken.
