I would think that the doorbell companies could mark a doorbell as stolen by the MAC address or another internal identifier. The same way that cell phone companies or laptop companies do. Then stealing the doorbell would make them worthless.

1. Do something illegal or semi-legal and make 10 billion
2. Get caught and say your sorry, really, really, sorry
3. Get fined 1 billion
4. Roll around in the 9 billion left over
5. Avoid taxes since the 1 billion in fines is a deductible loss

Now that you've been caught, find new illegal or semi-legal thing to make 10 more billion and repeat

The ITU is the group that comes up with the specs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... the same way that the IOC covers Olympics and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures says what a "meter" and a "kilogram" are.

If the International Olympic Committee IOC can say who can and can't say "Olympics" then the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) should be able to say what is and isn't "4G" "4G LTE" "4G LTE E" "5G E" or "5G"

The cable companies may be worried about the whole "Net Neutrality" fight going on. If they raise internet rates after the FCC removed the restrictions they said were too onerous to bear then they at least look like hypocrites and possibly liars.

Most of us don't live in a neighborhood where you have to lock down everything you own and put bars on your windows. I have sent multiple messages to FedEx, USPS and UPS asking them to leave the packages on my front porch.

If you are paranoid put up a small bush or large planter on your front porch. Then delivery people will put your packages behind it so the package can't be seen from the street.

this could easily be rewritten

"Huawei, which generated $93 billion in revenue last year and is seen as a national champion in China, faces intense scrutiny from many Western nations over its ties to the Chinese government, driven by concerns it could be used by Beijing for spying. Ansip said he was concerned because Chinese technology companies were required to cooperate with Chinese intelligence services, such as on "mandatory back doors" to allow access to encrypted data. "

"Apple, which generated $233 billion in revenue last year and is seen as a national champion in US, faces intense scrutiny from many nations over its orders from the US government, driven by concerns it could be used for spying. Ansip said he was concerned because US technology companies were being forced in FISA courts to cooperate with FBI investigations, such as on "mandatory back doors" to allow access to encrypted data."

I'm not sure if this is linked but last month there was a business insider article about how Amazon had moved it's warehouse databases off of Oracle. And that this database change was the reason for a crash on Prime Day.

From the article "And on Monday at the Oracle OpenWorld keynote, Ellison compared Amazon's database to a semi-autonomous car, saying, 'You get in, you start driving, you die.' "

Amazon saw an opportunity to fire back a Oracle and took it.

How does this work?

"a two-hundred-million-dollar gas-fuel plant would be more lucrative than a twenty-million-dollar solar array because the utility can charge higher rates to recoup its investment costs"

I would think that the utility could charge rates to recoup investment costs of either solar or gas. What am I missing here? I would think that once you have recouped your investment costs, I would assume by charging rates, then it would be mostly profit since you don't have to purchase natural gas.

In all these scenarios I would always pick the pedestrians. The passengers in the car are strapped in by seat belts, wrapped in a 5000 lb steel cage, and surrounded by airbags. The pedestrians are protected by a t-shirt and jeans.

Then again if I was in a self-driving car and it swerved to avoid a squirrel by slamming me into a tree. I would probably buy a different car next time.

I found an app called MacroDroid where I was able to have actions happen depending on if a number is in my contacts list.
1. if a number I'm being called from is not in my contacts it changes the ringer to silent and disables vibration.
2. after a missed call it changes the ringer back and turns on vibration

I wish this was part of Android itself but this will work for now

The article is more click bait than actual science. The science behind the article is also flawed. Their biggest assumption is false that the diesel fuel used by the cars is magically transported to the gas station
By doing this they assume
1. There is no CO2 involved in getting the oil out of the ground
2. there is no CO2 involved in getting the oil to the refinery
3. there is no CO2 in refining the oil to diesel
4. there is no CO2 in getting the diesel to the gas station

The article also states that people take three and a half years to drive 30,000 miles? I live 5 miles from work and I drive more than 30,000 miles every year.

If you use a VPN and not the Chrome browser Google search will sometimes do a captcha check where you have to click on all the images of cars or storefronts or crosswalks. Because of this it makes DuckDuckGo the default choice for those users.

There needs to be a definition. Something simple like Mammal Mammary Sweat = Milk, Squeezed/Pulped Plant = Juice

I think calling all white liquids that can be swallowed as milk, problematic

Have a second clock for extra time that counts up and as the game goes on. So any Replay/Injury/Diving/Slow Substitution, all the ways that a team can currently use to run out a game once they have a crippling 1-0 lead, would automatically add up, negating any advantage gained.

If the teams just switch from the above to playing keep away in the backfield institute a over-and-back rule at the half-way line.
