(The company is actually not really a windmill company--in an attempt to harvest a more concentrated energy resource, wind at high altitudes, their technology is to fly a small autonomous airplane connected to the base station by a cable, and have the wind turn the propellers on the airplane backwards, generating electricity) Does it actually make sense for Google to buy and maintain their own wind farms to power their data centers? silence_kit fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Dec 22, 2016 |

When it comes to taxes and credits it's all about the intent rather than the result. There's no governance wrt intelligent spending; you just get poo poo.

sinekumquat posted:i don't know why Google and Uber both think they're up for managing and maintain a massive fleet of cars distributed all over the US and eventually the world considering that uber's literal entire business model is built around offloading those costs to its employees, if they ever do a large scale rollout they'd probably make people buy and maintain their own cars (or lease them from uber, more likely) and get some percentage of the profits from each ride.

It complains at least once but you can always turn the complaining off in the options. I'd recommend connecting it once to download any firmware updates and then disconnect and never connect it again they use bottom dollar procecessors and the menus / decoding is as slow as they think they can get away with so you're better with literally any other streaming device over whatever's offered internally as a "smart feature" i don't think any tvs autoconnect to open networks as that would be awful but also hilarious and probably show up as a defcon talk Bhodi fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Dec 27, 2016 |
