He said clearly, "I dont want to raise more equity". He also said, "You don't like what I say, sell. Dont buy my company shares". So some left and other are holding.
Mercedes bought chrysler for 36 billion and sold it for 6 billion. What kind of names did they call the Daimler Benz CEO? You lnow what, these analysts should buy more companies like Benz.

All these nerds who have been using the computers since they were toddlers would find this description of the CPU really really fresh, novel and eh, yes, news.
Amazon helped people avoid local taxes. Political climate was so anti gov and anti tax, normal tax cheats and skin flints used Amazon to dodge paying for their police and schools rationalizing it as "starve the beast" "stump the washington bureaucrats".
OK we got that part. Censorship is bad. And this domain fronting is one way to evade censorship.
So we heard about *one* legitimate noble use of domain fronting.
Amazon and Google are banning probably to improve their tracking and their own bottom line. Fine.
Now are there illegitimate uses for domain fronting? Is it used by scammers? Is it used by malware hawkers? Can we have some balance in reporting and mention the dark underbelly of domain fronting? Or has slash dot is PR fronting for some scammers and spammers?
So what if you are streaming? Most of the streaming is done over the "tubes" owned by these cable companies. Its a matter of time before they rake in more in internet service than in cable tv.
Unless there is a real competitor to the cable broadband pipeline to the homes, the cable companies will settle into a new revenue pattern.
They typically print multiple copies of the requirements, gives one to the sparky, one to the stage builder jock, one to the sound engineer nerd and finally one to the blonde who stocks up the toilet tissues in the green room. Usually these blondes take their jobs seriously and meticulously give you bowls and bowls of brown free m&m s. The jocks running the wiring are the one all over confident and would skim the contract.
I am a big fan of tesla, patiently waited for the Model 3, after plunking down $1000 April 2016 and got my invite and configured my car and am waiting for VIN.
But, all the same, I wish they never got into this auto pilot self driving thing. It is a distraction from getting the affordable electric car done. That is the most important thing to get done.
I always set up a virtual credit card with a dollar limit to give these companies. Once the limit is reached, till I check and give a new number they dont get money.
But Citi card stupidly automatically allowed them to charge my card even with an expired card number. Some bullshit argument, "since the vendor has been charging monthly, to avoid service interruption, blah blah blah...". I put my foot down and said, "no way. The whole idea of the virtual number and dollar limit is meaningless with this policy. You deal with the vendor, I am not paying".
Two such vendors. tentkottai.com and some ISP. Then they reversed one legitimate charge from tentkottai.com Called them and asked them to reverse that reversal.
ISP came down from high horse and allowed me to keep the domain without any activity. Expired domain names are bought by scammers and set up redirect sites. So I am paying to hold down a few domain names.
True, it is all digital. And the cheap 3$ HDMI cable from Alibaba might suffice for the "High" def content. But to handle the 8K steam you need a gold plated, silver core 10 gauge wire HDMI cable from Monster. The zeros would be a perfect circles and the ones would be perfectly straight and vertical no matter how twisty your cable is. You definitely need it for 8k.
School buses stay parked overnight. Enough time to fully recharge. Postal vans too. Garbage trucks can benefit a lot.
Long distance trucks switching to diesel-electric designs like the locomotives can halve their fuel consumption. All this with existing technology. No new breakthrough needed, just the mass production and economy of scales to kick in.
Then comes really new technology like the Tesla 18 wheeler truck. Then we are talking serious reduction in diesel demand.
When I am not watching Netflix, I should be able to sell the stream I am entitled to, on the net for some money on the side.
I think this service should label itself "as NOT a TV service provider" and call it self "media stream hailing service (SHS)". I should be able to list my Netflix stream, Prime stream on it for a specific duration. Anyone can look it up and hail this stream and pay me for use. I might sell my Netflix stream for 20 cents an hour. The SHS company will take its cut, may be 8 cents and give me 12 cents. Or I might sell it for 1 cent an hour, and we split it 50-50 with the SHS.
That would be a real disruptor. Quick, let me patent/copyright this idea.
Facebook said: “We do not allow adverts which are misleading or false on Facebook and have explained to Martin Lewis that he should report any adverts that infringe his rights and they will be removed.
“We are in direct contact with his team, offering to help and promptly investigating their requests, and only last week confirmed that several adverts and accounts that violated our advertising policies had been taken down.”
So Facebook serious expect everyone to maintain a "team"? And spend time and energy scouring the net?
He should just run fake ads in the name of politicians, and attach really inflammatory and outrageous statements to them. That will get their attention.
You set up web site and offer some trivial thing like 25 cents off a loaf of bread, and ask users to setup an account. They will use the same user name password they use for their bank account, and give you all the security question answers too.
It is debatable, whether Facebook and Google show more contempt towards privacy than the users themselves
We remember their system of governance and department heads and ministers.
Looks like they had a triumvirate headed by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. They had some ministers for water (Varunan) or fire (Agni) etc. The head of the cabinet was Indran. Lots of detail of their biographies are available.

If Aunt Gemina has a moustach she would become Uncle Ben.
I 3 ? You are talking about the same I 3 sold by BMW, body designed by a collaboration between Mattel and Fisher Price?

Well, I wish Elon would take on these patent trolls like he did the auto dealerships.

..When the government takes property from private citizens, something called eminent domain or something?

Next you will be telling me Betty Crocker and Sarah Lee were not real but fictional characters dreamed up by corporate suits....
Their masterplan is to use all the money saved by shuttering all these lines into shorting Tesla, drive down its share price and buy the company.
If you don't like the change, dont fret, dont sweat. Just wait for a few minutes. It will change, it is like Pittsburgh weather.

But always use virtual numbers for such services.
Monster HDMI cable will improve the quality of the digital picture. Ask any salesman who works on commission.

Is that job vulnerable to automation?
You should patent this idea and try to shake down a few corporations.

So the idea of uploading a virus to the satellite as the climax of a movie came from a real life satellite operator! Is that true?
