Maybe they are probing the courts and setting up the price with 3 persons, with an intent to start pumping money if the case is successful. There are near 20 million Fb users in spain thus the math says there is 400k€ * 20M users = 8 000 000 000 000€ to be earned in their minds.

Probably automated trucks will come soon, but I'd really like to see it as an intermediate step. What if we could have small private cargo modules (like Starship technologies is making), being able to hook together automatically, to make a big truck like thing, to save power when travelling long distances. This might really be the key for P2P cargo delivery.

Maybe the amount of such css trickery hints us that css is becoming outdated and is actually not exactly what we would like it to be. I might argue in this case that the result that is obtained is very much in the visuals and styling scope and has less to do with functionality (scripts). Though, the method how it is obtained, I agree, goes against good readability and is a bit hacky in concept.

From my own experience I can say it would be an enormous advantage when shooting in low light. At least for current sensors. Where I am living, for four months in winter have only limited hours of dim daylight and current phone sensors are pretty much useless. You are right about dust though and extra care has to be taken, but it seems as a small inconvenience to me compared to sub-acceptable noise levels.

Id rather say that this means the sensors can get bigger for compact cameras and phones. Currently the only thing that limits us making pocketable full frame cameras with zoomable optics is the size of optics, not the size of sensor or other electrical components. Flat optics might make full frame camera phones even possible.

Is this really viable in long term? Won't the spot price increase if more customers bid for the resources? Can Amazon just change its pricing conditions to make this obsolete if the startup gets more customers and Amazon actually starts loosing money?

Yes, bulk is quite important factor too, especially on storing energy on large scale. Agreeing with the "can do a week of battery phone" on the other hand depends. The problem is that smart-phones have achieved lately their acceptable speeds with quad core (and up) processors. Resolution of screen makes less impact than the mere size of the area that has to be lit, but nobody wants to surf web through a peephole. E-ink would rescue if it could play videos and games fast. A lot of people want to do exactly that. And there are a lot of additional features we are used to keeping active (gps, wifi, ...). Turning these off will decrease the value of having a smartphone. Based on current battery sizes a week of battery would probably mean about 5 times the battery of phones now. That is not pocketable computer territory anymore.

In addition I would really like to have the phone component moved to watches (with at least 3 days battery) and leave all the rest for a pocketable computer to handle.

The real blocker of going electric on everything is the capacity of rechargeable technologies and their lifetime, not some global conspiracy. Even the high price of batteries/capacitors might not be a problem if lifetime and capacity would be great. In that sense Musk might be onto something, but I think it takes a lot more than 20% improvement over current technologies for batteries to become feasible for storing electricity on large scale. If a smartphone could be done with a battery, that lasts a week and is not dead within a year in winter conditions, it probably would have been done allready.

If you have to pay for an email anyway, would You instead call or pick some other way of direct communication? Not quite sure that replacing the indirect communication, where You can procrastinate to some extent, with direct one will solve the issues it promises.

Its awesome, but it would probably add some awkwardness to making new acquaintances at party. Hi, my name is ..., and I really like You. Do you mind giving me a blood sample?

Notifications can be silenced from System Preferences > Notifications by turning on Do Not Disturb. I have another problem with the notifications. They are displayed in the upper right corner where it constantly interferes with my actions. Does anybody know a way to move these to the lower right corner that I rarely use.

Actually hoped to see more true, but satirical, statements like: "It usually takes a long time to find a shorter way." or "Debugging software is the practice of removing bugs. Programming is the art of putting them in." Currently seems more like criticising a lecture.

That was actually the only thing i was really interested in. I guess if they would have done just that and added some text and data and image manipulation apps to the bunch that could downscale nicely to phone, it would have been a crowd magnet. I am not even expecting all features of apps to be present on mobile. Just preview would be often ok too.

Ok, the time dilation makes actually sense now. So like chemical reactions depend on temperature and pressure, physical reactions (if they can be called this way) are dependant on gravity and velocity (dependance on the last I can not quite get still). By physical reactions I mean the transitions between the ground states that time is defined by.

Isn't wavelength as such dependant on space? It all seems to come together as A is defined by B and B is defined by A.
