Imagine a Tour de France team who spends millions of dollars being unwilling to find a company to build them a custom monitor that supports heart rate monitoring with an encrypted data stream if they can’t find one off the shelf. 30 seconds

Ok? And? If you rob a bank and walk out with $10k you’re facing 15+ years in prison. If the number is “Only” $1b he should spend the rest of his life in prison.

That’s such a vague question as to feel either rhetorical or obvious. Can it be used for the stated purposes? Duh? Blatantly and obviously yes. WILL it be used for such purposes? How could anyone here answer that? The fact it could be, a

Op said he got lucky, the response implied he didn’t. My example is extreme because the circumstances of making several hundred million dollars on a startup exit is EXTREMELY rare, and has far more to do with luck than skill.

Perhaps if they had delivered a cheaper Tesla instead of a robotaxi that nobody asked for, won’t meet the needs of 90% of people wanting a taxi, and isn’t anywhere near ready to operate on public roads, the market would have expanded.

So link to the court case and details? When you create an account just to post in this thread endlessly defending what appears to be at minimum someone who probably shouldn’t own guns in the first place, it’s difficult to believe you’re her

I guess what is it you're trying to imply? Because I find it EXTREMELY unlikely the FBI agents in question don't know what qualifies as an SBR vs. a pistol. Furthermore, even if he does have a naked buffer tube, if the gun was r

What about it is normal? "Early America" allowed copyright infringement on American soil as long as the IP was stolen from foreign nations, but simultaneously enforced IP nationally and internationally on any claims made by a US

Which is super weird, because Xioami isn’t “sharing” their proprietary OS with any other phone manufacturers. CATL isn’t “sharing” any of their battery IP with competitors. They consider it trade secret and will actively pursue recourse in

When you see someone probing every single port on the box, you know they’re either a bad actor, or a security tool. No legit user is going to keep hammering ports without a known service. Bad actors you can either block or counter attack.

All the things you’re saying Redhat sells are a result of being in business for 30 years and investing billions. They were not a “platform company” for the vast majority of their existence and would not have survived long enough to transit

Hyundai does have an in home charger incentive. But again, that has literally nothing to do with this. This isn’t about “making charging more convenient”, it’s about ensuring owners are future proofed. The people this is targeted at already

This has nothing to do with at-home charging. This is so that Hyundai’s that have already been sold can utilize NACS high speed chargers (Tesla). And to future proof them as other vendors move to the NACS standard.

If I’m China, I’m funding cheap drones into Europe and the US. Eventually I can use all that video to build models to allow attack drones to function without any need for an external connection at all. But that’s just me…

If anduril, for instance, sends the US military some new drones to try out, it is not technically a false statement for the military to say they aren’t military drones. The wording, imo, is intentionally very vague.
