The article you cited does not agree with your assertions. It specifically tells you how and when to evaluate the use of an anonymous source.

If you don't ever use anonymous sources, many fewer people will talk to you. Being on the record about something that will get you fired, will get you fired - and then no one talks to journalists.

What separates actual ethical journalists from the rest is doing everything the article you cited suggests - validating information with alternative sources, understanding motives, etc.

depends how fasts it is moving - but it's all moving at the same speed. The last chip will get less cooling than the first chip, proportional to the amount of cooling the previous chips received. Delta T doesn't lie.

Whether it's significant or not, I can't know - but you want it to be significant, otherwise it's less efficient.

It's certainly niche, but NY-LON sees ~3 million non-connecting passengers a year.

If they can make it quiet enough to be supersonic over land, it's a lot more compelling. But even being supersonic for the atlantic crossing will shave hours off of most EU routes from NY.

I think the bigger problem is the time changes on a lot of routes make EU flights pretty efficient - you don't want the overnight flights to be shorter really (and I wish most were longer).

Only for patents used in standards - where the standard enforces FRAND/RAND/other licensing schemes to insure that 'standards-required' patents are available to all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminat...

This is Qualcomm's big business (and others), getting their patents into standards like 5G and then charging people a fair amount to use it - and they have to license it to everyone, even their arch nemesis. Or you just buy their chips.

For a patent of something you invented, but did not submit to become part of a standards-body, you absolutely can choose not to license it for any amount of money.

There are permanent staff. The issue of time isn't any individual regulator - it's that there's regulators in every country they operate in. And the company is negotiating with them all simultaneously - figuring out what would make the EU say yes, and then taking that to the US and see if that will let them say yes, then going to Japan and making sure they'll say yes, then going to India - and you don't want some of them knowing that everyone else has already said yes, because then they'll hold out to get some last special thing.

These are complicated negotiations, in many complicated jurisdictions.

How quick do you think they should be? For everyone to understand the potential ramifications and consult appropriate industry experts? Let competitors et al file briefs?

If you're going to redeem points as cash for flights, the UR portal seems fine IME, there's less variation unless you're booking consolidator fares. You're going to get 1.5c per point using the Reserve card.

To get more than 2c per point, you have to be redeeming against business/first class or otherwise very expensive tickets.

But is it still worth 2c if you would have never paid $11k for the seat in the first place?

I mean, that's also probably true. Best form of government is a benevolent dictator and all that...

More that you have to have realistic expectations when you structure an org, that people doing the work are going to pad and sandbag in successive tiers up, and people in charge of outcomes are going to push for bigger and more down.

Yes and no. There's another view where employees set actually ambitious goals and only get 90% of the way there and are still rewarded and the company also wins.

If you are hitting your goals every quarter, that is a great thing - but I tend to agree, at the other end of the spectrum you have people setting easily achieved goals to check a box.

The real issue is weeding out people just there to check a box when you're small, and when you're large, it's designing a system that internalizes a lot of your employees are there to check a box.

If your business is https://dipsway.com, I could see why a merchant provider might terminate your account.

You're broadly wading into dangerous waters and a lot of what's on your website would probably get you regulated by the SEC, but the language used on your website would be alarming to any risk analyst. "Pump and dump" schemes are illegal in the US (and I presume literally everywhere else), and you're using similar verbiage right on the main page of your site. It almost looks like you're advocating customers get in on the ground floor of the pump and dump scam, which is certainly illegal.

Separately, from a risk perspective, they're also asking themselves "If this algorithm is so good, why would they sell it for $70/mo and instead just using the algorithm to make all the money for themselves, this is going to be chargeback central when the algorithm doesn't deliver".

It might be your dock.

Check to see whether it's USB or Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt docks are more expensive, but considerably more efficient and faster than USB (assuming your laptop/device supports Thunderbolt).

Thunderbolt docks are basically PCIe extension devices, whereas USB docks attach everything as USB, with all the common challenges USB has on systems (like dropped audio when the CPU is busy).

Agree completely. The author also suggests that you don't want "see through" mode coming on everytime someone walks by, but that's exactly what I want. I don't want to be in a public area, even a plane, unaware of my surroundings.

If I'm watching on a 7" screen on a seatback, I still have peripheral vision. I want to maintain that. I want to see on the area that isn't the screen, I just want something bigger than 7", and the ability to do things besides just watch movies/TV (like, my own content or games....).

Basically, this is clickbait.
