Just when you said you were never paying a grand for a phone ever again. Same price as a refurbished original iPhone on eBay. ebay.com/p/Apple-iPhone…

There is a significant lack of understanding in the media about what 'security contractors" do in Afghanistan. Between targeting support and training much of is clearly defined, quite dull and rigidly overseen due to previous problems. usnews.com/news/national-…
However attention must be paid when these skill transfers are provided to dictatorships or communist regimes under the guise of anti terrorism. We have already seen multiple examples of Saudi Arabia, China and other nations abuse technology and skill sets. defenseone.com/ideas/2019/04/…
We don't even know the depth of evil that secondary usage of seemingly mundane social media and big data collected in "free countries" have been used by American and foriegn "security contractors" working in nations that have no legal restrictions. epic.org/privacy/facebo…

#Haftar has history. "In 1987, Haftar led a Libyan invasion force into neighboring Chad and was captured and imprisoned by Chadian forces. Gaddafi did not negotiate for Haftar's release." He was defeated by the tiny mobile forces of "GUNT" and captured. nytimes.com/1987/04/13/wor…
1987 The Toyota War: Ouadi Doum was Libya's "Death Star", defended by 5,000 Libyan troops. 1,269 Libyans died, 438 Libyans captured vs 29 Chadian soldiers killed and 58 wounded. "Prisoners included the regional commander, Col. Khalifa Hastar" (Haftar) latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
January 1987: "(Haftar) made disastrous mistakes, such as dispatching Libyan columns to recapture the city of Fada, only for these columns to be mauled, and requiring a secondary force to rescue them, which was also crushed." washingtoninstitute.org/uploads/Docume…

For fun, follow @realDonaldTrump's trajectory and me if there is consistency or direction other than disaster mismanagement. He creates conflict, fails and then reverses himself, leaving his supporters looking like fools and his followers baffled. realclearpolitics.com/timeline/presi…
@realDonaldTrump The media loves Trump because they have to google er...research statements and find a rich landscape of random attention seeking statements, errors, insults, fibs and controversial statements not to mention over 40,000 tweets. nbcnews.com/politics/2016-…
@realDonaldTrump @realDonaldTrump tweets an average of 15 times a day. A max of 87 tweets in 24hrs and only 6 days without tweets. Much triggered by what he sees on television. There are no estimates how much time is used by 60 million followers reading 40,000 tweets. kaggle.com/doughersak/don…

@LumaForge Never. Because of how Apple handled the *surprise* killing of their Final Cut Pro 7 in Final Cut Studio 3. No planning, no consultation. Just a midnight "not available anymore" shocking surprise. They roll out FCP-X (which should have been named iMovie Pro, as it was far from
@LumaForge 2/ being "Pro." Because Apple forgot: You can't treat the Pro market – where millions of dollars of media, deadlines, and access to archives/legacy is critical – like you do the consumer market being iGadget. #Apple didn't want any input on making the iPod or Iphone…
@LumaForge 3/ THEY wanted to show US what a music or phone could be. That worked. With editing, it was long established that a timeline (with separate tracks) was the best way to edit non-linearly, and having two "monitor" windows – emulating video linear editing: one for source and one

Here is our prediction for how Apple will support reading NFC tags in iOS 12. This theory was developed after much research of publicly available information. Please follow along and ask any questions.

#apple #iOS12 #NFC #ConnectedThings
If you haven't been following, Apple added an NFC controller to the iPhone 7 to enable Apple Pay (contactless payments). It wasn't until iOS 11 that support for reading NFC tags was added. That was a huge deal for the NFC industry.

gototags.com/blog/finally-r…
However there are some significant limitations in iOS 11 for NFC tags. The most significant of which is that (1) a 3rd party app is required and (2) the user experience requires an explicit user interaction to read NFC tags. More in link here...

#eBay est une société qui vend des services internet pour vendeurs en ligne. Ses clients sont logiquement ceux qui lrs paient
Qui paye #eBay ? Uniquement les vendeurs sur eBay. L'acheteur sur eBay ne paye pas 1€ à eBay. Les #commissions en % sont payées
uniquement par nous les vendeurs. Les SEULS clients eBay sont les vendeurs et Boutiques #eBay. Mais eBay méprise ses clients.
