For me, there were two articles from the 80's that I remember in either Popular Science or Popular Mechanics that were relevant to/. stories in the past couple months. Unfortunately, not even the respective websites could be of any help. I would have really gotten a kick out of reading both articles, but it wasn't to be.
It comes down to information quality. Most forum answers to a question have a five-year or less value, and while an archive of my travel stories from a couple decades ago might be fun for my personal nostalgia... I doubt people are really going to be searching Google for Scuba J 2000 and stumble across something with all the noise from Facebook and Instagram today.
With LEDs, the challenges in outdoor lighting we faced years ago are fairly trivial to solve. There are a few code changes that are required (1 foot-candle/10 lux minimum exterior egress pathway lighting to the public right-of-way being the dumbest), and a little more regulation in a few areas to keep people from installing ineffective "glare bomb" wall mounted lights.
Even lighting a billboard with zero uplight isn't that hard, and with a dark sky you use a hell of a lot less energy.
Hands down agree! I want to pay experts to do the dirty work on systems they are intimately familiar with. I am willing to pay a modest ongoing retainer (~1 hour per month) to support general upkeep, plus another hour or so for patching and minor fixes. I want the expert to tell me how the system should be set up, what I can expect from it, and what I can't, up front. I don't want to be locked out of making minor business as usual updates.
I hate subscription fees, because it decouples value.
Even things as commonplace as Asterisk I end up with consultants trying to gouge for a fairly generic installation. That isn't a sustainable business model. I am also sick of generalists-- I know because I am one.
I don't have any skin in the game, but technical traders in equities would tell you that you are looking for the "head and shoulders" graph-- a drop with lower peaks after a big run up-- to foreshadow gloom. If in a few weeks BTC climbs back up to 4,000 and drops to 2,000 that is bad. If it climbs to 6,000 and drops to 4,000-- not so much.
Bitcoin may last... or it may fail. Regulatory pressure in the next few years is likely to be a burden for it.
The idea that "consumers" want ads, much less that they want "timely and useful" ads is mistaken.
Ultimately though, I imagine it is good for Google, Facebook, and other advanced tracking providers; they can easily evade any tracking avoidance strategies... unless Apple decides to proxy everything via iCloud.
The operating system is a trivial issue when you are referring to the difference between (say) software from Phillips, GE, and Siemens for a CT Scanner-- just as it is for all the other diagnostic instruments in use.
I don't think Samsung has an MRI "backpack" for the S8 yet, but maybe I just missed the press release.
The lesson is more that specialized hardware works better than commodity, mass-market hardware once the innovations from mass market can be passed down. The new device has a built-in laser scanner and presumably replaceable batteries, apparently two major limitations of using a generalist device.
When I look at the Apple Store employees with their iPhone backpacks for credit card transactions and lasers, I think they should be more like Target, sadly.
We must deal with different lawyers. Every lawyer I have ever worked with is primarily focused on their own self-interests. They provide "safe" advice to stay out of trouble, and they advise you towards overly complex issues that increase billable hours. The only lawyers you might be able to trust are family.
No mortgage in my purchase, although most of the issues are extra fees you pay either directly or financed. Financed items is what your handy-dandy TVM calculator is for; fees are easily spelled out and not hard to follow. Most importantly, there are fundamental consumer protections (at least in my state) that cover egregious terms.
Stupid question I am sure... but what does a lawyer do for you that isn't covered by inspection, escrow and title insurance? I hate to admit it, but I will throw a Realtor into the mix of protections as well.
I have only bought one condo in my life; everything was docusign and there were two or three little issues (owner dying during transaction, escrow extension, and someone with same first.middle.last in the county that uphad unpaid child support) but nothing that my inexperienced realtor couldn't cover.
For an extra 20% you can provide ~12' stilts for a home, but withstanding the storms also requires extra treatment-- deep protected underground utilities, water storage, backup power, proper windows and shutters, etc. Once you go to ~16-18' stilts you are looking at a 30% premium on construction and can still have other issues. Usually the money is better spent with about 6' of fill plus 12' stilts.
You can build disaster-proof (/tolerant) homes, but they generally cost about 80-120% more. (If you can't occupy in the rough the disaster then you have only solved a small part of the problem.)
Disney also owns ABC, ESPN, and A&E. If we had the programming from 10 years ago being current in 2019, they would be in a strong position. Today, not so sure. Fundamentally, they think they are worth more than they are to most people holding the wallet. There are outliers though, so it will be interesting.

Messy little thing called the first rule of thermodynamics gets in the way though.
Doubtful. Amazon's algorithm is terrible. Mainly it is looking for things that it thinks are associated, upsells, or ads.

You don't "have" the SMS message; it exists in many places, hence the vulnerability.
It is a second "step" since to receive it you should have already entered a valid password associated with the cell phone number.
Older people tend to go to the bank and get cash from a teller-- and get more than $100 at a time.
You can either internally illuminate with shaped refractors, or simply angle the billboard down 5-10 degrees and light from the top.
You might end up with 2-3% uplight, but it beats the 60% that is typical with traditional designs.

I wouldn't want to hitch my horse to SEIU's tactics; I imagine eventually it is going to backfire.

25 Years of LifeLock Ultimate would be around $10k for starters.

Not really. Sue for specifics-- prevention costs and vigilance rather than as a result of a specific erroneous item.
I will be doing it myself. The California limit is $10k. If you sue with a lawyer it will end up as a class and you are likely to get less out of it.

I doubt your numbers or the logic behind them.

The electric rickshaw would be viable...
Exactly. Question is if HBO would do better just selling seasons to Game of Thrones or their streaming service.

Kites sure seem to have more potential with significantly lower capital expense and proportional benefits. (5-10% reduction in fuel consumption)
