"the cost of transportation (including local transportation to and from ports)"* the need for surrounding physical infrastructure (like reliable electricity)"

You have a warped view of Africa, 19th century style. it ain't the shanty hut continent. This IS Africa : https://www.123rf.com/photo_71... and there are similar to other countries than Kenya. Yes when you go into rural country you don't see that cityscape, but between major country and capital there is even highway, major electricity production center, major university, major ports etc...

* the need for surrounding social infrastructure (like a hierarchical work ethic)

Which also exists in Africa. Or are you purporting African don't have any work ethic... ?
No the real reason many firm are not in Africa, but in China are : 1) rare earth metal is more readily available today in China and combined with 2) China require for some raw material to have the stuff done locally and not export them (or do it in small quantity). They aren't dumb, both combined with cheap labor guarantee they get a lion share of what you cited.

In the UK we deal with it by having an enforced split between the physical infrastructure of telecoms and the customer end - the company operating the cables only makes their capacity available to the ISPs, and the ISPs then hook their equipment up at the ends. This only applies to telephone cabling though, not cable internet.

Make the security of IoT devices easy to visualize. Have a single picture showing all the open ports and services and not have things like anonymous Samba shares enabled down three directories of a webpage configuration system.

Even loading bays have better visualizations that most of these systems:

Many "cool and new" technologies started out with a rather dismissive and arrogant attitude towards predecessors — only to then encounter the same problems as other did before and have to solve them in a hurry, shooting yourself in the same extremity (with the same gun), and stepping on the same rake.

From my experience, Ruby is especially bad at it. Release 1.9.2 not quite compatible with 1.9.1? What?!

Published packages ("gems") not signed. Huh?

So, when I hear about yet another problem in that world, all I can do is shrug...

Enquiring minds want to know.

The group, which is an agency of the Department of Justice issued a Request for Information specifically targeting what it called a fully integrated systems that will allow for the detection, tracking, interdiction, engagement and neutralization of small â" less the 55lb â" unmanned aerial system.

- introducing: the NET. This technology combined with the technology known as the MAN will provide a fully integrated system that will allow for the detection, tracking, interdiction, engagement and neutralization of small - less than the 55lb - unmanned aerial systems.

Not to be confused with the FLYSWATTER system though, which is a much weaker solution.

They should change their name to the Fighting Sues. They can use an old lady with hair curlers in a bathrobe holding a rolling pin menacingly as their mascot. Something kind of like this maybe.

With "antiseptic smoke, rubber, and smoked fish"

I love a hint of fishiness in my whiskey...

Here's a picture following the tasting....

I hate decyphering hieroglyphics. I propose that the unicode for "I have peanut allergies" should be the text string "I have peanut allergies."

That works well for 1-2 billion people and not so well for the remaining 5-6 billion. While we're working on that universal language, a few universal "hieroglyphics" are useful and there's no law against writing elevator next to the elevator sign. Like say these, these, these or these.

That said, allergens may be useful for store products but that's usually half the markings on a restaurant menu which typically can be stuff like vegetarian, vegan, hot, garlic and so on. And for many complete dishes many will contain lots of allergens, it's probably easier to use a negative marking like these. I don't quite see what existing use case these symbols are supposed to cover, yes it could be added to the ingredients list but you need to solve other issues like how do you prominently say no allergens and not unmarked?

It's kind of hard to rebuild in an area where a nuclear bomb was dropped you know.

And yet at least two of the places where this has happened were able to rebuild, and quite magnificently, I might add.

I called them and asked what they could do with my Mcintosh and the Apple store said that they were and unsupported product.
Strange, because I thought it was great to make cider from.

I think that's irrelevant. Some people do keep a change jar, but it's only the low-value coins -- exactly the same as many Americans who presumably already have a jar of 25 (or less) coins.

A coin worth £1 has actual value, and a jar of them is worth a *lot*. Just this many (hardly a handful) looks like £16, i.e. US$25. It's unusual, but no-one would mind you paying for something with 16 £1 coins.

I don't know, does it wear shades like ours? http://www.123rf.com/photo_7290467_smiling-sun-with-sunglasses--no-transparency-used-basic-linear-gradients-used.html
