Why do you assume the users own the phones? There are plenty of business models where the company owns the phones and the user gets to use it by paying a monthly fee. One of the services being provided may well be the use of the phone its

Seems to me the wrong lesson was taken -- they were prepared for a presentation not a negotiations. They unwisely jumped the gun into a negotiation at the end of a negotiation. They got their ass handed to them for being unprepared. What

It's not missing though, is it? It has the characteristic of having effects of mass but not being otherwise observable.

Isn't the difference here that one was a deliberate design decision and one was a de-orbit burn failure? While the risks posed by both are significant (though the chinese rocket is much, much larger) there was no intent by SpaceX that

Heart rate variability really does not mean variability in heart rate (such as is shown on the graph linked) it is more at the 50-100ms level in change in timing between hear beats. The graph does seem to show a reduction in RHR but does

Interesting -- this weekend I finally gave up on YoutubeTV and ordered Spectrum cable again. Between the rising costs (now 69.95 a month) and the loss of both regional sports networks (I haven't been able to watch Texas Rangers baseba

I suspect it means $40USD in Euro (at about .914 to the dollar) then add 8% to that amount. 5 * 8 = 40 40 * .914 = 36.56 36.56 * 1.08 = 39.48 (ish)

This is really irritating: BREAKING — Tax incentives and business model working as intended to solve a problem! I do wonder about this kind of article, are these genuine or is this the work of a competitor or short seller’s PR firm pushing

You're going to have to explain to me how this post is any different from Cramer banging his buy button about a specific stock on CNBC. It can't be that the difference is that people actually did it... So what is the difference?

With the curve extending across the top this looks quite different from the Kitt wheel, and as such quite different from an airplane yoke. I suspect this works much more like a wheel than a yoke in practice, but I would be interested in tr

I see this response in almost every thread about Apple and privacy and it’s such a weird reply. Do things that are good only count as good if you don’t have a financial interest in them? I am much happier that they’re motivations aren’t

Very much not my experience. In fact USB-C is one of those technical advances like adaptive cruise control that I just can't imagine going back from. My only pain point has been the dongles needed to connect older USB devices to my M

Is this an evidence based opinion? I am trying to find evidence myself -- but my memory is that religiosity is well correlated with marital satisfaction. If you have something that supports the opposite conclusion I would be interested in

It's pretty boring actually, mostly finding a dual source for all the components, even if you have to develop new suppliers and then moving the volume over as it ramps. Assembly moved to Thailand, sourcing moved to Taiwan, India and

My general expectation is that Autonomous vehicles will at some point become safer than human drivers. However, even when that happens, when they make errors they will be errors that seem stupid and incomprehensible to humans. This will b
