Étiquette : failure (Page 7 of 13)

«Two myths currently limit our collective imagination: the myth that advertising is the only possible business model for online companies, and the myth that it’s too late to change the way platforms operate. On both points, we need to be a little more creative. While the problems facing the web are complex and large, I think we should see them as bugs: problems with existing code and software systems that have been created by people — and can be fixed by people» – Tim Berners-Lee.

«We have decided to REMOVE the miner in the app. The next version will remove the option to get free features via mining. This is for three reasons: 1) The company which provided us the miner library did not disclose its source code, and it would take too long for them to fix the root cause of the CPU issue. 2) The rollout had a perfect storm of bugs which made it seem like our company *wanted* to mine crypto-currency without people’s permission, and that goes against our whole ethos and vision for Qbix. 3) My own personal feeling that Proof of Work has a dangerous set of incentives which can lead to electricity waste on a global scale we’ve never seen before» – Magarshak (Calandar 2).

Intel CPU

«Le fait que la vente des parts coïncide exactement avec ce qu’il peut vendre et son timing maintenant que nous commençons à être au courant de la faille qui touche les processeurs Intel fait planer le doute. A-t-il vendu à un moment où le cours de son entreprise était au plus haut, anticipant une baisse de la valeur de l’action quand l’affaire serait dévoilée ? Difficile à dire pour l’instant, mais le mouvement qui aurait pu paraître anodin dans un autre contexte n’échappera pas aux actionnaires de l’entreprise qui pourraient demander une enquête».

Traffic on Irving Street

«While a number of communities have devised strategies like turn restrictions and speed humps that affect all motorists, Leonia’s move may be the most extreme response. Leonia plans to issue residents yellow tags to hang in their cars, and nonresidents who use the streets in the morning and afternoon will face $200 fines. Its police department has already alerted the major traffic and navigation apps to the impending changes, which will take effect on Jan. 22 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., and from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week.»
