You forgot the official truck of the MLB and the game stats powered by Google Cloud and the instant replay brought to you by Zoom and please sir, won’t you consume some more?
The ads are so stupid too because you know absolutely no one on earth is buying some product because it is on a dugout or they named a stadium after it. "Oh I'll bank with SoFi because they payed for naming rights," Only someone in marketing would think like that. It's like they've been drinking the kool aid so long they don't know how stupid it all looks to normal people. "Kia forum, great I'll go buy a Kia!" Sorry, that isn't how any of that works. But there is so much money pumped into this marketing game that has to work right? Or else no one would do it, right? They can't all be lemmings, right? Right?
Nah, the emperor has no clothes, and everyone in that industry's job is dependent on not acknowledging that fact. Don't worry, a bunch of commenters are about to chime in and try and tell me I'm wrong, and that I will in fact go and buy that Kia because the idea was incepted in my head by the stadium rights agreement.
I've heard it explained that they don't expect direct sales, but when you need a bank and your looking at options you'll realize you've heard of sofi so it must be better than the ones you've never heard of. I don't know how that train of thought applies to things like coke ads though
This makes sense. Most people would prefer to do business with a company they know about slnce before. You need to put "I recognize this, this is familiar" into prospective customers' brains. Then later marketing can convince you it is the right choice for your savings.
Yeah I'm sorry but I can't take someone seriously that believes that Hyperloop will be a viable form of transportation. It's nothing but an idiotic fantasy and that's all it will ever be
Excellent news! Sounds like the only sticky points are the camera and keyboard backlight (which does work except OS can't detect it's state.) The camera for me is a non-issue, I don't use it and I just put a piece of tape over it anyway.
Not necessarily. They imagine a kind of shutter that could close in the middle of a photon's wave.
That's not quite as ridiculous as it sounds: a microwave photon could be centimeters long, and a lower-wavelength photon could be meters or more. You could think of the shutter as an LCD screen, which could change from clear to dark in less than the time it would take for a meters-long photon to pass through it.
You can't actually do it, though the speed of light isn't the reason. The calculation is for an infinitely thin, infinitely black barrier. You could do an approximation of it, but the complexity of the approximation swamps the already-complex wave form the theory gives.

Ugh.
