hop··on Starlink for RVs
SpaceX is going to be printing money with Starlink.
hop··on Apple Books TSMC’s Entire 5nm Production Capability
Brother and Fanuc CNC machines.
hop··on Why is the stock market rallying when the economy is so bad?
It’s rallying because there are a lot of undervalued stocks. There have been really good deals the past 2 months. And stocks are a great inflation hedge.
hop··on Amazon is shipping expired food, customers say
I don’t know why I’m being downvoted - Amazon FBA does not commingle seller inventory. The products sold by a seller are only the ones they shipped to FBA. If you request your inventory back, you will only get the ones back you sell. So if a seller sends in a bunch of counterfeit items for a listing, those are physically separated and don’t get mixed with the good inventory that is there.

There are multiple sellers for the same product and they could definitely have bad/old inventory - and they will win the buy box with the lowest price - but it’s still not commingled.

hop··on Amazon is shipping expired food, customers say
Inventory isn’t commingled between sellers for the same SKU.
hop··on Eliud Kipchoge Breaks Two-Hour Marathon Barrier
4.6 minute miles, dang that is cooking.
hop··on Pizza robot makes 300 pizzas per hour
Yeah, that’s a terrible looking pizza, weird they would publicly demo it with that thing as the product.
hop··on iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max
The utra wide angle 13mm lens will be awesome to have, been waiting a long time for that. One more reason not to carry a dslr.
hop··on Google Forcing Nest Cameras’ Visual Indicator Light To Be On
It’s by law in Japan.
hop··on Amazon Unveils Futuristic Helicopter-Plane Hybrid Drone for Deliveries
Zero traffic congestion, close to free to operate, fulfillment in minutes? Under 1 hour order delivery? There’s obviously downsides like sound and then falling out of the sky, but getting anything under 5 pounds two orders of magnitudes faster is a big deal.
hop··on Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results
.7 billion per day, mind blowing.
hop··on The next recession
They had a famous plunging house cover two years prior to the crash and frequently covered the case-shiller index.
hop··on Trout Tickling
It’d be really hard to get that close to a trout and I’m calling bullshit on this.

Wait, what do u know, a bunch of videos of trout ticklers on YouTube. Thx internet.

hop··on 'Anti-authority' tech rebels take on ISPs, connect NYC with cheap Wi-Fi
Wave G. I think its a spin off a small isp.
hop··on 'Anti-authority' tech rebels take on ISPs, connect NYC with cheap Wi-Fi
Nice. Our 200+ unit condo building in Portland just got gigabit internet via line of sight radio on the roof from another building with fiber.

This is a trend that will definitely take off and removes the huge barriers of entry that laying cable requires. 1ms latency too.

hop··on The Era of Very Low Inflation and Interest Rates May Be Near an End
But if interest rates keep going up, it could depress housing prices (or at least stunt it relative to inflation).
hop··on Amazon's policies promote counterfeiting
Almost everytime we contact them, we ask them to lock our products down. It's a mystery how sellers get Brand Gating, but there is plenty in the forums about it. That's part of the reason this was written, hopefully someone there can do something about it.
hop··on Amazon's policies promote counterfeiting
You really think the author of the post (me) doesn't communicate regularly with the Brand Registry team? Day 5 for them to do anything on this latest one.
hop··on A Company That Tears Cars Apart to Find Out How They're Built
BMW i3 has the worst designed interior of any car i’ve ever been in and the road noise is insane. I’d take a few annoyances that come with the first run of Tesla’s startup manufacturing over the i3 any damn day.
hop··on Paradise Papers: Dear Tim Cook
In Mexico, people don’t finish their houses and leave rebar coming out the roof to pay less tax. In Vietnam, the houses are really thin because property taxes are based on width. For an American company selling things overseas, they’re going to setup in Ireland or wherever else because the laws make it advantageous. All these decisions are functions of the laws written, so if they want to complain and write open letters, it should be to lawmakers, not the heads of companies operating logically.
hop··on Tesla confirms “Autopilot” crash in Montana
I think lawsuits and government intervention will kill self driving cars for the next decade or two. Even if autonoumous are 10x better, thats still hundreds of deaths per year that will be attributed to a half dozen autonomous car maker's software.
hop··on 3D printed sundial whose precise holes cast a shadow displaying the current time
That sounds orders of magnitude more difficult. You might as well 5-axis machine them.
hop··on Amazon Business
Does Prime shipping still apply? It only says free 2-day shipping on orders over $49.

Edit: Found FAQ on that - If you have this in addition to prime, there's no order threshold. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=b2b_...

hop··on Computer Faces Poker Pros in No-Limit Texas Hold’Em Competition
That's crazy.
hop··on Boeing-SpaceX Team Split Space Taxi Award
I wondered that too. She's written 8 articles for Bloomberg and 7 of them are about Boeing - all in a positive light. Imagine she has the ear of Boeing PR.

hop··on DUI rates decline in Uber cities
Uber has definitely cut down on the drinking and driving of my friends, no question.
hop··on How pCell works and why its a bigger deal than anyone realizes
Wireless power transmission will change everything in hardware if someone can pull it off. I'd bet Apple is waiting until they can do low power wirelessly to launch their smart watch.
hop··on Governments admit to faking terrorism: a list
That Onswipe plugin is so annoying on iOS.
hop··on EU citizenship for sale
Why would you pay almost a million dollars for citizenship? Honest question.
hop··on Hövding – Airbag for cyclists
There is very little acceleration by the head when the bag senses an eminent collision and deploys as the car hits the rear wheel and the person starts to go back.

I do not think or trust they can design a sensor that would deploy when it needs to without misfiring all the time. And if it fires, you have to buy a whole other one.
