I haven't seen the link yet (kids are about ready for bed...), but a breakdown by capital lost, capital returned, and capital still successfully in play would be the best evaluation, along with per company values for each category.
I don't mind government investment to promote new ideas, but investing in things before society is ready to adopt them would be foolish.
The flip side is promoting necessary societal changes that take a lot of time, investment, and infrastructure. Oil and other fossil fuels are infinite, but we do seem to have reasonable supplies now. But if those supplies slip, will we have the resources to come up with viable replacements in time?
Maybe, but it's conservative spending and accounting that allow for such early payments.
I appreciated the bullet points, and the government shouldn't be worried about future interest payments if it receives the provided capital ahead of schedule. At least they got paid back.
Link please, I would like to be informed but my kids have my attention for the time being, and my memory will lose the impetus to investigate after bedtime...
It's anecdotal, but I haven't been sick for more than 36 hours in 20 years (half my life, no cold or flu), but only taking C and other supplements for the past few years. Since having children I have gotten short sicknesses more often, but that's because they incubate the stuff and pass on heavy doses to me (in my opinion).
I also have to mention that I got sick a lot as a young kid (flu and other nasal related infections). That's probably the reason my immune system is what it is.
But the C can't hurt, except for some stomach problems at particularly high doses (greater than 10 grams if you aren't used to it).
I'm going with music rather than a second spoken language for my kids. It's something I do actively that I believe will be similar in benefits to the kids learning and cognitive development.
I've started with piano (keyboard connected to a computer actually, I have thousands of sounds it can produce, they like the variety) and then, in a couple of years (5-6 years old) moving to guitar (I play) or violin (my wife plays), depending on what they each want to do. I'm also learning to play piano more as well (I previously only knew chord patterns).
We also have a variety of kids and adult drums/bongos (love my djumba) that we bang around on a lot (great for camping).
Why not a second language? It will be unused and quickly forgotten. So music is the language of my choice and I hope I can pass on a love for music as my mother did for me (well, she had an electric guitar laying around and I just started playing it, but having it available was the critical part).
You may want to consider a combat/hunting knife for the "rougher" food tasks. It is not uncommon for me to raid my camping equipment for my SOG Seal Pup Elite for kitchen use. Not the sharpest blade in the toolbox (it holds a edge pretty well, but it gets abused commonly), but the toughest one for sure. And I like the way it looks...
Try Shun steel knives. Not too expensive on sale (relatively speaking, a good knife is not cheap, $100 isn't too much for a superior chef's knife), they will draw first blood I guarantee. They are knives that deserve and get a high level of respect lest you bleed everywhere (both have caused me to ruin dinner by bleeding on ingredients). The ones I have are full tang,100% metal.
They stay sharp far longer than any knives I've ever owned. I sharpen them myself with a 4 stage sharpener, razor sharp for at least a month, with 3-4 uses per week.
They just want the details so that can hack Google Glass wearers and add to their existing monitoring programs... Especially clear given the authentication questions.
My opinion, but I think the timers help a lot with regards to safety. I always pay attention to them at intersections with them. I can save on gas by coasting towards an inevitable stop, or know that I can cruise through the light without worrying about it changing.
That's the key to them, they provide both pedestrians and drivers with knowledge of the light's timing. That's a critical improvement over "will it change, will it, will it, as one approaches the point of no return???".
Of course the intersections with stop-light cameras (very heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic) don't have them, I imagine that's by design... I need to time the yellows on those lights. And ask the city to install timer signals at those locations. People see the yellow and then slam on their brakes to prevent the flashbulb from going off. I've witnessed rear end accidents at one location in the past year due to this.
A citizen is certainly entitled to say what they want, and spend their money as they want, but they have to expect to be identified to the public.
A corporation isn't a citizen, it has no right to vote. So the first amendment doesn't apply to a corporation itself. Corporation's shouldn't be granted the 1st amendment with regards to politics. Of course they should be allowed to compensate citizens who then (with limits) can spend their taxable income on political speech.
Well, it probably didn't used to, we're just a little too far down the rabbit hole at this point, the level of entrenchment in politics is "thick as thieves", which they mostly are.
The Supreme Court really screwed the pooch in terms of Super-PAC funding, citizens have mostly been removed from politics now.
They have multiple stations, including some very close to active volcanic activity for baselines. The core results aren't impacted by the regions volcanic activities.
As for global warming, we aren't going to stop burning the remains of life from the past, so it goes. I don't have a position or a "belief", it seems irrelevant to me given humanity's approach to energy.
Gitmo is a primary topic for me as it has lasted so long. Hundreds of people locked up and "interrogated" without specific charges, effectively outside of any legal system.
Gitmo is a "terrorist generating machine". How many family and friends of the detainees now support the "terrorists" or "insurgents"? How many strangers do simply on principal? Watch the original Red Dawn (not the terrible new "version"), I love it because the Americans are the insurgents.
Further, we are either at war in their countries or in their backyards, these days you don't even have the opportunity to be sent to Gitmo, you are just drone strike fodder.
And let's not mention the drone strikes, I'm sure they don't cause people to become "terrorists" or "insurgents". No, innocent people are expendable, so they understand.
Empathy is being able to feel something from another perspective. Consider the situations we have created in the countries where we have exercised war recently (these days Iraqis wake up wondering if a bomb will kill them, think about it, of course the alternative is whether Saddam would kill you, for the US it was a ). Consider your family member being in Gitmo with an effective life sentence. Consider the killing of a journalist and guides followed by the the people trying to help being killed as well (Geneva comes to mind for some reason). Imagine if these things happened in the US. Would you blindly accept the situation and be hopeful and supportive or turn against the aggressor. What if it happened over and over again?
As well, the aggressor has vastly superior technology, it sometimes feels like the US is Skynet and we Americans are the robots, our military is that effective on a ratio basis. At least in Red Dawn the invaders didn't have "wonder" weapons (although they out gunned the Wolverines for sure).
I watch Red Dawn every year on July 4th, I have for over a decade. It holds up well over time (True Genius, as much as I fondly remember it, is a very terrible, unwatchable movie now that I'm older). Red Dawn was the first PG-13 movie did you know?
Enforce it, if a.Net shop, with code analysis and StyleCop. StyleCop helps with code standards, which you should enforce. Nuff said, it's Friday, I want to be sedated after the kids go to bed...
There aren't many snowmobiles, jet skis, or go-karts operating in the areas where drones are operating. Especially in the air.
At the same time, I don't believe that audible signals would be effective since a drone operates several miles above the ground surface.
What is needed for drone detection and identification is a wide-angle magnified video camera that scans the sky (basically the same thing as the Predator uses on its targets). A Predator is about 27x48 feet (length x wingspan), at 20x magnification it would appear to be about 1,250 feet high (assuming an actual flight altitude of 25,000 feet). A Predator should be visible at that level of magnification and identifiable based on relative dimensions and speed (80-100 mph). A human operator would probably be needed to assist with target identification (commercial jets can be ignored). Higher magnifications could be used for target identification as needed, but less magnification (wider angle of view) would provide faster target acquisition.
The whole kit (a laptop, external battery, 2+ cameras on small remote mounts) could fit in a backpack and weight maybe 20 pounds, certainly portable.

I meant to say that fossil fuels are NOT infinite. A critical word, missed.

Sounds like regular developer higher practices to me. Hire them on as contractors for a six-month right-to-hire period.
It's not a bad practice if it helps some people find jobs they would have otherwise never been able to achieve.
Three 2 gram doses before meals.

I didn't believe such a knife existed.
Wish I had karma, you just described a nightmare situation, I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning up the capsule after the trip.

Please note that L4t3r4lu5 has been added to the no fly list.
You are welcome.
It's what brains crave! And Brawndo has them.
You must drive like a mad man, and one that I can respect.
Having such an advanced plan means that it has been executed.
Big ups.
That's the exact reason I always asked to be searched at the airport. If 5% of the people flying requested a patdown the system would fail miserably.
Of course I haven't flown in a few years, flying sucks in the US these days.
Call your credit card company, explain that you lost your card in the US and request a different credit card number and then don't pay the fine.
Yeah, it's fraud, but it sounds like the ticket is as well.

Go Wolverines!!!!! Damn I love that movie.
That's very interesting, I'd never heard of it before and it's fascinating how often it has been used.
But for the particular news, I believe this scream is more relevant:

Anyway, that's how I would approach such a subject. I'm more interested in low altitude (tethered) helium balloon photography...
