Comment No camera? (Score 1) 70

I dont really get how it works, the lens has a display but no camera. So the user would need to wear a a camera on his/her head, that feed is transmitted to a device(phone) the feed is processed and then streamed to the lens. Also, how can they outline objects (as they state) when the camera might be facing a different object then the eye(s) is looking at. Also, the version with battery sounds like such a horrible idea!

Comment Re:probably gear from Mavenir (Score 1) 82

I'm kinda insider, and your description is slightly inaccurate. First, it's really long time since they've stopped using Telepath and their SMSCs are now completely in cloud

first part of your 4th paragraph is generally accurate. Non-delivered pile doesn't exist AFAIK (when message is discarded, it will be logged in the same manner as delivered message). I don't know about their deployment (they may always use homerouting) , but usually, unless the message is sent internationally, message will be delivered straight from the first SMSC.

From what I heard, Sprint did some kind of cloud migration and I guess that now they started some forgotten node. You are right that if the message is over it's validity period, it shouldn't be delivered, but discarded, but it's so basic feature that I highly doubt that it wouldn't work - I guess that either they had it set for a really long time, or didn't have properly set NTPd (if node started and thought that it was still February, it's just natural, that it would deliver it all).

This article is true. Like other companies Intuit I believe does do all of this. Sasan the CEO also has parties where practically naked women hang from striper ropes. People know: If you want a state law to favor your business bribe a governor if you want a federal law to favor your business bribe a senator To do this legally hire a lobbyist they know how to get the suitcases full of cash to the government official so no questions are raised. Ellizabeth Warren is the only presidential candidate who I think is tough on corruption. That is why the banks hate her and sabotage her. Many corporations hate Warren and attack her because she does not take bribes. I allege the attacks about her heritage came from the banks as a revenge for the fines she placed on them when the banks took main street for over a trillion dollars. So many other senators (both sides) had taken bribes to look the other way. The bribes where called "friends and family loans". Look it up. She was the only

I recommend you to watch the whole video, but I have linked to a key section. A lot of people like to claim that firearms and weapons are not needed because we have the police force to protect us, however, a lot of people are unaware that is the US, the police have NO legal responsibility or requirement to respond to or protect any individual, as shown by the courts in this case about women who's home was broken into, they hid and called the police, but the police just knocked on the door and left, and when they called the police back they did nothing. The intruders found and raped the women and then left. There was no help from the police, and the courts determined that the police did not have a duty to respond because no special relationship existed between the women and the police. In the US it is YOUR responsibility to defend yourself, this is different to several other countries where the police do have a responsibility to respond and protect. https://youtu.be/mkjozbbTowI?t...

It'll cool off, and then they'll want to bring anon posting back because basically, the comments are 95% of the content on this site.

Naw, let's kettle them, play loud annoying music, hit people in the forehead with rubber bullets, and apply pepper spray to reporters covering it while on live TV, to calm everyone down. Slight snark, but that seems to be a common (mis)practice in some places. :/

Arguably, in DC, they are/were. I mean, we're talking Japan levels of difficulty getting a permit until there was a huge legal fight over it. As in, to even possess it, not just carry it, you had to get an almost impossible-to-get permit.

It also depends heavily on the community. Some irony (but it makes sense) that Chicago and DC are infamous. It makes sense, because that's how they got politicians and the people who vote for them to vote that way in the first place! Compare this to somewhere you've never heard of because not nearly as infamously criminal-hive central.

Damn, 50cent isn't even trying anymore. I feel so disappointed! All that anger in first sentence gives away the game before you get people to read it. :( I'm serious. I can't even respect this for being from a competent professional. Also, feel sorry for that 'general public' that doesn't know any better, than to blindly trust the oldest con in the game - nationalism. Granted, they often can be trusted, but same way you trust a revolver - constantly watching it. Otherwise, it gets taken (over) by some ironic criminals.
