58% of Americans would prefer a federally funded healthcare system[0], akin to healthcare in Canada. We only feel alone because both parties are bought and owned by multi-nationals, and don't give a shit about what most people want. Fi

Amazon will likely pre-weigh the items and give each a price embedded barcode, though it will be quite labor intensive even with the $100k wrap and weigh machines you can buy today.

Sure, but that isn't the prime vector of E Coli and other illnesses spreading. E Coli literally comes from workers shitting in the fields due to the breakdown of the labor movement, as they are not allowed breaks or access to a bathroo

Depends, twice I've had to ship it back, and once Amazon told me there were no returns and refunded me (Samsung Evo+ 64GB that only did 6MB/s, rated at minimum 10MB/s). That being said, I need to throw that MicroSD card away,

So, what sets you apart from all the other WebRTC providers out there? How are you unique? It could be offering HD Voice interop with AT&T/VZW/T-Mo, selling user verified CNAM, or anything that adds value you can't get el

Its built on someone's platform, who they are obviously paying through the nose for. Their FAQ says it costs $5 for 250 minute, which is $0.02/min. Comparatively, I sit somewhere around $0.0028/min and I am not trying to opti

Sure, but who'd actually trust Amazon with their food? I know I wouldn't, they've screwed up 3 out of 5 orders in the past year, leading me to have little faith that they won't give me E Coli covered veggies. They'r

How do you intend to get roof rights to do so? I'd be adverse to using roofs without a roof access agreement, otherwise whenever a customer moves, your apt to lose a node & its coverage/the sites it relays bandwidth for.

So basically the same rent seeking behavior Microsoft applied to Android vendors, now applied to the cloud? Except instead of paying $20 to $40 per handset to MS, you have to use Azure and deal with the resulting mess.

Pretty much, Debian moved forward to recompiling for ARMv7 as it netted significant performance improvements, and if you wanted ARMv6 binaries you could compile them yourself. Raspbian did this, but not very well.
