Honestly, this isn't really that effective a tracking system, retailers already use beacons that can track every phone that comes into an area, due to the nature of of the way mobile devices look for wifi signal, and in some extreme ca

In most cases a QR code is just opening a URL, and if the URL seems sketch, don't put your credit card in. If I said go to amazon.cz/menu and asked you to put in your credit card, it really is no different.

That and a pound of meat is generally far more calorie dense than most other foods.

by Meph504 5y ago
You seem to be missing a key point, people don't eat meat because they don't have vegetables. They eat it because they want to. The same reason people drink soda or tea, when there is water available. There is a market for a produ

If the terms of the lease dictate that Tesla get final say and he signed it. I don't really see how this has anything to do with right to repair, and is a contract dispute, one the renter won't likely have a leg to stand on.

I'm at the end of the day you really need to argue this with the military not me. as far as COTS parts, I mean if you think you can build a radio of that size with its requirements,life span,etc someone probably would have. they moved

> re: grad students versus elite universities, under NDA. I think it is important to not conflate NDA and non-compete, NDAs have a validate place, and are likely what should be used instead of non-competes in most situations.

In a world that is constantly touting competition drives innovation, it seems strange to me that this was ever legal. Restricting the industry a person can work in, or the ability to switch between companies at will only serves to harm the

The military isn't all that concerned about a modular enterchangable system that use similar methods between systems. We have time and available people who are educated, they can learn the some odd 40 systems in 27 weeks (excluding tac

Much of the communications equipment have complex counter measures built in, and sometimes just really simplistic ones that if you say open the case without unscrewing the screws in the right order, they are designed to fry themselves to pr

Man, I think you have a wrong impression here, field fixes are usually sacrificial, and are made in haste, and often on "this might work." A great tradition it isn't, coat it in 100 MPH tape and 550 cord, and hope it holds. i

I'm not sure how you are refusing to improperly service something, The contractor is there because a high ranking individual at the DOD put them there, in most cases they are helpful, and willing to help out when they can, but they are

When I was in the army I use to rail against contractors all the time, until I got transferred to a maint. center for communications equipment. The equipment you get there is usually the result of a failed attempts by trained personal to f

Firstly, did you read the article, this isn't a replacement part, its a hack job, look at the pictures, read what they did, this isn't about 3rd party part, this is a service, and a poor one. Additionally, the terms of your lease,

Ok, So your argument is that someone at a Telsa factory did shady shit, so then the company should accept any third parties fixes? As far as the shoddy work, people keep acting like Telsa is a hivemind, and that every dept. in the company h

Well likely because the legal liability for getting a debt wrong would outweigh the advantages. That and most state's consumers protections prevent this sort of behavior.
