xbt.eu much better monitor

I too saw that guy speak and spoke to him before he went on. Oddly dismissive of all things crypto/blockchains....

DOE? that cant be right

Why is this in the DOE budget?

this is why snap is not a good stock purchase until the inevitable tech dip comes -- say another 6-12 mo will be ripe to buy?

lol this co is DONE

It's certainly not just banks, very much utilities too. putting off investments in core IT capabilities has become the norm and when you've dug a hole this deep, might as well keep on digging!!

if we're talking about level 1 autonomy, then I guess you could say every car is their product? or for that matter, every care of every manufacturer is autonomous since it has a backup camera and lane correction =/

the report just seems like a money grab and not necc. making a good case for any company or putting a tight criteria around the output

Anyone have more insight into how Uber is competing here?? They're lidar tech is currently tied up in a $2B lawsuit w/ Waymo and it looks like there are a few smoking guns. Perhaps the report is trying to make a consultant-like case but bottom line is there aren't a lot of autonomous vehicle cos out there today and Ford/GM can make noise (if they want to) since they have mature manufacturing capabilities

solve the problem of making EVs useful for city livers and then we can start to talk about real adoption - suburbia has luxury of charging EVs overnight when affordable but people living in apartments/condos/etc and parking on the street every night do not have accessible EV charging infrastructure

why does this matter?

Hoping more people use seatgeek & gametime as alternatives - even stubhub is getting monopolistic as the single 'exchange' platform

This article is far more accurate and helpful: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/google-will-ach...

the headline is quite misleading when you consider most google data centers still getting power from dirty sources - the 40% reduction in data center cost is impressive though (whoo AI!)

Note Google in some cases does sell electricity generated from their wind/solar investments to the locals and new FERC order allows anyone who has DG to sell into wholesale markets. Sometimes their investment is near a data center so it hits the same local feeder, othertimes they say 'we can't do DG near the data center, so lets do it somewhere else that offsets the data center demand'. This is where the renewable energy credits come in and make the long term strategy worthwhile

this has much more to do with the locked in rate utilities/the state demands when Distributed Generation (like wind and solar) are feeding into the grid. 'wind energy prices' is vague - not sure if it is getting at the relatively low fluctuating cost of standing up a turbine, OR the flat rate wind suppliers are paid for generation (like google)

I'd agree - but right tech will pave way for right biz model in this case

The WORST part of all of this is how Disney owns a great video streaming company who built our a killer product for the MLB, and they can't apply it to the ESPN ecosystem, whose video player is TRASH.

ESPN overpayed for rights fees years ago not expecting viewership to decline at all - nevermind so rapidly. I'm sure even at those high prices they make a boatload off ad revenue but clearly their poor content and lack of focus on a live internet outlet for games is killing them. Also, all their good employees left!! FoxSports has most of them..

I think you nailed it here - cord cutting is part of it (I've done it myself) but ESPN is failing to deliver internet content effectively. The 'watchespn' site/app is clunky, slow, and sometimes takes multiple provider logins to work. When you see how simple it is to watch the NFL on Twitter vs. the 5 step broke process of ESPN online - the choice is clear. It's too bad they won't upgrade basic site functions since they cover the most sports globally, including games with expected low viewership...YouTube has been an easier outlet for some to broadcast live.

anyone else laugh at the 2003 version of powerpoint for those sweet pie graphs... are we really that worried?

Why can't youtube live replicate this streaming service and give even more split ad revenue back to NFL, CBS, etc.??

Zuck offered Twitter a lot back in the day, Twitter leadership at time severely disagreed w/ Mark's vision of the merge. Particularly how he wanted to use Twitter to complement FB's goal of logging personal matters and in some cases over-stepping ethical and privacy boundaries. I commend twitter for not giving in at that time

Someone define 'collaborating' here =/
