wangyjx··on Microsoft Wins $480M Army HoloLens Contract

wangyjx··on IBM acquires Red Hat
IBM's market cap is a little more than 100B so far. It costs more than 30B to acquire RH, that means IBM realize that if it doesn't do something useful, it will sink.

RH maybe the only one that's worth of purchasing and IBM can afford.

wangyjx··on Amazon Pitches Facial Recognition to Monitor Immigrants
gun is gun, please don't mix together. Face recognition doesn't attack people. I admit that someone might feel uncomfortable but it can protect you in another cases. (another privacy vs safety argument)

Needless to say this technology can only deploy in public places. If someone appear in public places, why you think he would like to become invisible to all others.

In the meanwhile, I agree that no gov employee can be authorized to access the data without limitation. There must be some laws to regulate its usage.

wangyjx··on Amazon Pitches Facial Recognition to Monitor Immigrants
If not Amazon, another company will do business with gov. Face recognition is mature enough, there is no very high barrier. Even if US gov doesnt adopt such technology, another gov will do and already done. It is just business.

wangyjx··on Drugmakers Play The Patent Game To Lock In Prices, Block Competitors
A stupid accusation. The current situation is by 2017, a successful new drug costs 1.5B $ and 14 years in average, at the same time, more than 95% drug researches fail at different stages. In addition, the patent period counts far before the clinical trials ( begin from the molecular compound finding), usually the patent will only protect its drug less than 10 years. The drugmakers have to earn enough money in less than 10 years to cover all the cost spending on its own research and other failed researchs.

Yes, they can make enough profit. Without that, what else can support them to continue research new drugs? by you?

wangyjx··on European Commission fines Google €4.34B in Android antitrust case
microsoft not forbids manufacturers to install OS other than windows, that's why you can buy computers with linux. There are always options, there is nothing to blame microsoft for this. If you don't want to buy Windows, you can choose a model without windows. If you cannot find a satisfied model without windows, go to blame your PC manufacturer
