You're assuming that it's equally easy to get damaging materials from both countries. That's an incorrect assumption.

It may not be equally easy with Russia, but it is quite easy nonetheless. It is just very few people care. Ukrainians, for example, have been collecting undeniable proofs of Russia's official involvement in the alleged "civil" war in Ukraine's East. They don't have governmental backing, but they have patience enough to sift through social media looking for selfies, that Russian conscripts post online (with geotagging enabled). And yet, you can still encounter people even on Slashdot, who would deny Russian involvement...

Similarly, there is solid evidence — put together by volunteers and governmental investigators, that a Russian SAM shot down the Malaysian Boeing in 2014... And yet, a Google search for it today still brings up a theory, that it was a Ukrainian jet (top altitude 5000m), that shot down the airliner (flying at 10000m)...

Nope. I am strictly correct because Moore's paper does not specify the components are transistors.

"By integrated electronics, I mean all the various technologies which are referred to as microelectronics today as well as any additional ones that result in electronics functions supplied to the user as irreducible units."

If you want to eliminate the TSA, but feel single-payer health care is a great idea, you're incoherent.

At best.

Because it's THE SAME INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT. How would that government run a health care system? By doing things like lying about wait times to see a doctor.

The mainstream media seemed to have missed this, but this is the first production phone to be using the Project Ara module interconnect using the Greybus Protocol.

More information about how the thing actually works and what its good for here

We didn't think it was such a bad premise when Asimov made it.

I did say quick Google. In this image (the second thing shown me on a Google search) Texas appears to me to be about half, maybe a bit smaller, than the EU. Maybe it's not all of Europe and maybe it's blown out of proportions but a quick Google is a quick Google. My main point is still valid.

In the end, Google Fiber is near meaningless to a majority of the US.

The majority of the US doesn't have access to 1Gb/s fiber internet service for $70 a month, with no data cap.

Some Internet service providers currently cap data downloads at 250 GB per month. You can download that much data on a 1 gig connection in about 33 minutes. Good thing there is no limit on your data downloads with Google Fiber!

The idea wasn't to destroy Europe, just the bit with the soviet tanks and supply lines on it... And the Germans were more gung-ho about it than the Americans. https://translate.google.com/t... is a terrible automated translation, but if you know german maybe you can read the original, the whole thing is crazy, but in particular:

German Defence thought meet NATO with a conjuring trick. He wanted to make up for the shortage of soldiers with an atomic micro ordnance, with the atomic mortars Davy Crockett.

Strauss also not allowed to be disturbed by reports of his officers from Washington. In the American Army General Staff had, laconically replied to the question of whether Davy Crockett could replace conventional artillery: "No way!"

It was a scary time - I'll take today's crazy terrorists over it actually. NATO truly believed that they could not repel a soviet invasion with conventional forces, short range nukes (heck nuclear mortars even) were honest to goodness plans... Of course Putin is doing his best to revive those old days.

A Trump v Putin game of chicken does not sound like a wonderful thing, I must admit...

Pedestrians only have the right of way:

by almost, if not all laws written, 1: in a marked cross walk ( convenient how this is left off in the quote all the time, no? ) and 2: only when it is safe for them to cross.

Sigh. No. The law is much more complicated than you think it is. You could look it up if you cared and wanted to be correct. Here is the really meaty paragraph:

Nine states and the District of Columbia require motorists to stop when approaching a pedestrian in an uncontrolled crosswalk. Minnesota mandates that a motorist stop when a pedestrian is in any portion of the roadway. Six states and D.C. require a motorist to stop when a pedestrian is upon the same half of the roadway or within one lane of the lane that the motorist is traveling upon, and two states require a motorist to stop when a pedestrian is upon the same half of the roadway or approaching closely enough from the opposite side of the roadway to constitute a danger.

It's really pathetic to see so many of you know so little about traffic laws, and yet presumably are driving anyway. I bet you get intersections wrong, too. Just yesterday I found myself at the intersection in front of the CHP office in Kelseyville and I had a woman make a left turn in front of me while I was making a right turn... note the lack of protected turns at this intersection. And I honked at her, and she gave me the finger. And now that I know you are totally ignorant of pedestrian crossing laws, I will conflate you with her.

Here you are, Matias Duarte.

Of course he's a UX designer, so he doesn't have any balls in the first place.

That said, AFAIK, Coca-Cola is the ONLY company authorized to buy de-cocanized coca leaves from the federal government's sole authorized supplier. So as a practical matter, even if you downloaded their allegedly secret formula online, you'd never be able to replicate it exactly unless you wanted to risk getting raided and arrested by DEA agents, since there's no legal second source for that key ingredient.

Tell that to Red Bull. You're mostly right -- there are only certain companies licensed to trade in coca leaf, probably because it'd be too easy otherwise to trade coca leaf under the cover of it being de-cocanized coca leaf -- but Stepan can sell to other beverage makers besides TCCC.

No it isn't. The reason shoes sell here in the US for $100+ that cost $20 to manufacture is profit, development and (mostly) marketing costs.

First, you seem to have ignored the bit where I said "some exceptions of course". Second, you are completely wrong about the actual costs in your made up example. You are presuming Nike makes the shoes for $20 and sells them for $100. This is incorrect. Nike's gross margins which is basically the cost to manufacture their shoes and other apparel is around 45%. For every $100 in revenue, about $55 of it goes to making their products. Their Net income is around 9-10% which is the amount left over after the costs of sales, administration and overhead and these are not costs that can be dismissed as unimportant. Respectable but hardly in the league of Apple or Microsoft. That means the cost of those shoes to Nike in your made up example is $90 if they they sell for $100. (I'm ignoring dealer markups which are additional) 10% isn't a hell of a lot of margin so if someone knocks off a Nike product and sells it for 15% below Nike, they are below Nike's cost.

The notion that Nike has 80% gross margins is absurd and easily disproved.

WebP is an open format as is VP8, VP9 and the WebM container format.

The problem is that your dataset is both flawed and too small. The real data set is worldwide devices sold. Android has about 84% in Q1 2016. There is no reliable data set on users who used both.

I agree the dataset is not a statistically significant sample-size. But the relative marketshare percentages don't mean squat, either, because that doesn't measure "switchers" (in either direction).

In looking for that number, I found several interesting articles in this search, which is at least a step in the right direction. But this graph makes it look like, quite frankly, both platforms are equally healthy.

The authorities seem clueless as to how to stop terrorists attacks around the world. What's are all the spying and warrantless requests actually going towards?

First, these requests aren't warrantless. The numbers Google reports are a combination of various types of legal process requests, including warrants, subpoenas, court orders, national security letters, wiretaps, pen registers, trap and trace orders and various kinds of requests from foreign countries (often through the US legal system, but sometimes directly). Google generally doesn't provide any information without legal process, though it makes exceptions for certain kinds of emergency requests from law enforcement (see https://www.google.com/transpa...).

Second, given there are a lot of different kinds of requests, they're for a lot of different things. Subpoenas are usually used to gather information to support a lawsuit. Court orders and warrants are usually used in criminal investigations. National security letters are used for terrorism and similar investigations. Wiretaps, pen registers and trap and trace orders are used in criminal and terrorism investigations.

Though we know that the government is doing a lot of spying that many of us (including me) find highly objectionable, it's not the case that all, or probably more than a tiny fraction, of the requests Google receives fall into that category. It's no surprise that the numbers are rising, either. As more of our communications and data storage moves online, more of what attorneys working on civil suits and criminal investigators looking for evidence needed to prosecute a crime is going to be found online. As one of the biggest repositories of that sort of data, Google is an obvious target to be served with lots of legal process papers.

I agree with the premise to much CGI had made movies as boring as shit. OP's article isn't very good though. There have been many and much better articles on Cracked about why CGI is killing movies: https://www.google.com/search?...

My 2c: It's not just the CGI, but it's shitty plots and recycling stories and themes which as done it too. The world still loves superhero movies. I think there have been a few good ones, but most of them are very ordinary and they no longer do it for me. Stark frowning at Rogers, and Batman frowning at Superman, tells me they have ran out of ideas.

I wish they would do something else, but when they try - like Edge of Tomorrow - the crowds stay away. Yet do a dump in a toilet bowl and slap a "Hobbit" or "Avengers" sticker on it and crowds will line up around the block and pay good money to see it.

You mean, back when creating the next generation of mankind was considered to have social value?

No, in the 1970's, there was neo-Malthusianism which worried about overpopulation. Creating too many of the next generation was a worry and all sorts of crazy people had crazy ideas about how to fix it. Except that there's no need. Educating women and developing the nation staves off the birth rates and all the developed nations without sizable immigration now actually have a worry about declining population.

When marriage was a mechanism by which society supported this valuable task?

That's still in effect. A lot of people still marry and have kids.

  And the divorce rate shot up and peaked by the end of the 70's. So if you were trying to appeal to some sort of "death of marriage" vibe, you need to back BEFORE the release of the Star Trek TOS.

But go figure, treat women like they're people and you have more divorces.

Before the economic support of marriage became something people are simply entitled to?

Before the whatnow? People can still file jointly you shmuck.

Before the important role of wives and mothers was completely devalued,

Wow. What happened between you and your mum? Or was it something with your wife? How exactly has motherhood been devalued?

and treated as offering no more social value than a young man who takes it up the bum?

Lots of old guys take it up the bum too. But yes, gay couples should be treated the same as straight couples. How does that affect the worth of your wife at all? Did you read in a paper that some gay dudes were married and you looked over at your wife and declared that she was worthless now?

You know what? I think I will [rewatch the original Star Trek]

...You realize that it was, and IS, a raging hard-on for a liberal utopia. They had a russian, an Irishman, a jap, and a BLACK LADY on the bridge of a ship. Working together. What madness. It was a post-scarcity society, no more money. The Federation is an idealized United Nations. It was officially hands off towards pre-warp civilizations, ie, don't be colonial asshats to the natives. But OH NOES, gay people. That's just one step too far.

right here.

Top Marginal Income Tax Rate...

Top marginal rates really aren't that informative, because relatively few pay them... and when they were really high almost no one paid them.

For a better comparison, look at the middle quintile (or median, but middle quintile works). Unfortunately the source I found only has data from 1979-2011:

Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 1980: 18.9%
Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 1985: 18.0%
Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 1990: 17.7%
Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 1995: 17.1%
Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 2000: 16.5%
Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 2005: 13.8%
Middle quintile total average federal tax rate, 2010: 11.5%

Of course, that's federal only. I should say that the trend there is the opposite of what I thought it was, since my tax rates have been steadily increasing over that time range, but that's clearly because my income has been steadily increasing.

The trend of all quintiles is pretty steadily downward. Here's a chart I threw together: https://docs.google.com/spread...

So I'd have to say the claim that we're being taxed twice as much is blatantly false, at least in terms of federal taxes. And I don't think state taxes have gone up much, but I'll let someone else find that data.

Too bad. I only recently discovered Opera on Android, and have been using it ever since because it has an in-built ad-blocker.

Try using Dolphin. It has a built-in popup blocker, and supports DDG as its default search engine.

New Hampshire DL renewal costs $50, and lasts 5 years IIRC (couldn't find the expiry term in a quick search).

Note that presidential elections happen every 4 years, so that comes out to $40 to vote in any one election.

Using your numbers, voting in any presidential election would be either $35 for that year, or $7 x 4 = $28 for each election.

it's illegal to operate an online pharmacy with a .ca domain

So you reported illegal activity to Google, and they took action. That's great, they have a duty to respond to such claims. But that experience has no bearing on the scenario where someone whose blog was deleted might ask to have it restored. Try asking Google for something that doesn't involve criminal activity or the threat of lawyers. Position yourself as an end user with some trouble with a Google service, contact them and come tell us how that works out. Try reporting spam that originates from Gmail, not just the From: header, but received by your own MTA from e.g. mail-pa0-f70.google.com, and the same sender continues on unabated after multiple reports. This is hardly a new problem.

Yes, if you're a paying customer of Google or if you're reporting something that might involve some legal exposure to Google, you might get a response. Otherwise in my experience you're out of luck.

"Experimental artwork" can be a euphemism for anything. Even images of violence against women will get your blog nuked.

I would expect images of violence against women to get a blog nuked from any free service, Google or not. Someone who wants to publish such imagery would surely need to pay for their own server. I'm not sure where that plays into Google's reputation for customer service.
