So, if I understand correctly, 60% of shares was not enough to allow Schneider Electric to implement a "holistic approach".
If that is the case, then what was the bloody point.
If you've got 60% of the shares of a company, then the company is practically yours and you can pretty much do what you damn well please.
This is just PR blabbering for nothing.
Person Of Interest is becoming a documentary.
This is practically the worst hornet's nest one could get into. It takes a lot of guts to go in and publicly declare that you're not there to be part of the boy's club.
I agree with all his points, I'm just glad that I'm not the one that needs to step up and get it done.
If the US spent more money on its education system, it might be in better shape.
It's all very nice to have prestigious universities, but if half of the students come from China, what do you think will happen ?
Yes. China will end by dominating. A Chinese person isn't any more stupid than anybody else, and right now, China has a vast proportion of technological industries to work with.
If you think they're not going to learn from that, go have fun at Mar-A-Lago.
It's not difficult to create a hardware notification of mic activity. If the mic is on, then it is using current. Detect the use of current, and light up the LED.
No software can go against that.
If you have a hardware switch, well that prevents the mic from getting current. No software can counter that either.
But of course, this needs to be implemented in hardware.
Once again, a FOSS project finding itself successful finds an excuse to extract money.
Oh sure, only from corporations that make $25+ million. Nice excuse.
Youd didn't say that when you started, you're saying that now that you know your project is being used.
Looks like a bait-and-switch to me.
I should hope so.
Especially since the UK is whining about things it itself had approved and voted for before it left.
The EU is not perfect, but everything it has encated has been approved by all its members - including the UK.
So deal with it.
Of course you can't. That is not what is being requested. What is being requested is that you have a product that works. Something you should have done before making it available.
Once upon a time, when you published your software, you had to make sure it worked because there was no Internet for you to post updates and leave people to manage themselves. If you failed to ensure your software was functional, you wouldn't sell, end of.
These days, with near-ubiquitous Internet access, you no longer care about making a fully functional product, you only care about making a product function enough - the rest will be dealt with by support team.

I like my FTTH, but sometimes, I long for the times when I could buy a product and it worked.
Not sure I agree with that. The gaming industry is constituted of a handful of giant powerhouses and a sea of small shops struggling to survive and thrive.
When Microsoft acquired Mojang, it absorbed one of the small guys who had become successful, thus diminishing the amount of talent (and competition) that existed in the market. That is not a factor that improves the robustness of the market.
If Microsoft continues to acquire any and every house of any success, then the market will be down to whatever the top three are today. That won't make for a very dynamic industry.
I would think the reverse : phone only switched on at home or at the office.
The goverment already has that data from other sources. Where you go, on the other hand, should be your own private business, unless there's an emergency.
