Covid screwed with everything in 2020 Noone could have predicted it. But here we are on a steady climb on no contractual news at nearly 7p. Can you imagine what will happen when we do get financial news? This will be huge! My only short term worry is the next big fall on the DOW which will bring SEE down with it
My usual fret about a low ball bid. However, this is beginning to look less likely with the price approaching 7p and some big trades going through. Unless the trades are in anticipation of a bid.But at this rate I would say that anything under 30p is low ball??? But wtfdik
I am a HF engineer and I would like to know what issues they have. I worked in Telecoms for years. Here it is all about usability and designing for ease of use. During design there is a lot of testing with users to iron out issues and rectify use errors. However, safety isn't a thing here. I now work in medical devices (syringes, blood glucose meters etc) where safety is everything so we have a different approach. If you cant work your mobile phone then it is inconvenient, e.g. if you want it to do something but it does something else. With medical a use error can cause a severe adverse effect and kill you. So designing and evaluating for safety (and not so much usability) is everything. We regularly perform use based failure modes and effects analyses. think that is why the medical world is behind the curve in creativity for devices: more innovation creates more risk. So observing user interaction and recording potential risk is something we do extensively and the output is carefully monitored by regulatory authorities, e.g. FDA. Notice so far I have used the term use error and not user error. The second term blames the user and fails to recognise that they are part of a wider system. For example, if an airline pilot crashes their plane and you find out that they made a mistake or an error, that is not the end of the investigation, it is only the beginning. If you put it down to user error and leave it there, the error will happen again, e.g. 737 Max. The movie Sully shows this perfectly.
So getting down to DMS and SM I find it odd as the user doesn’t do anything except drive and does not interact, well hardly, with the DMS system. It is the system constantly observing the user for signs of, e.g distraction. I guess the issues would be (bearing in mind I am not in this business) what the signs are to intervene, e.g. eyelids drooping, gaze aversion, pupil dilation etc. But I would think that the more important issues are things like informing the user. How do you do this - auditory, tactile, visual. And how do you do this not too obtrusively, and cause a bigger problem. Alarms are notoriously difficult to design effectively. e.g. having a loud noise in a ****pit whlie you are trying to avoid a mountain. Or a klaxon going off when beginning to open up a patient for heart surgery. Also how do you alert the user without nagging them like a back seat driver. This seems to me like a huge issue that would require lots of testing to find the optimal solution and one that could easily be a USP for SM vs SEYE.
As I said , just some thoughts for rumination.
Merry Xmas to all non blob people!
Does this mean that they can increase their holding?
'.. Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares and voting rights in the Company will be 3,737,214,374. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.'
Here I am fretting about this again! And Safestocks also has a concern about it. I guess if one were to come in it would be around 15-20p? Also, I dont know about you, but I thought there was a little bit of a shop window in that last RNS...tell me I am wrong??
