You are absolutely correct! Visit a maritime website like gcaptain.com and you'll see that the process is well understood. Wet bulk cargo, people who make the decision to load it anyway and don't have to deal with the consequences... There's no mystery. Just greed and the wrong people paying for it with their lives.
Looking at the video, I donâ(TM)t think âoeit got ripped off its base,â instead, the base got ripped out of the ground. Thereâ(TM)s a clear, smooth piece of concrete sticking at the bottom of the turbine. Sizewise that matches the foundation Iâ(TM)ve seen in other âoehow wind turbines are builtâ type videos and I was always in shock over how tiny these bases were, and amazed that they were sufficient. Apparently they are not.
What struck me was the fact that it was the relatives they got the genetic data from. It doesn't matter that you carefully avoid submitting your DNA to ancestry sites (or other DNA sampling sites); if your family does, you can still be traced.
Of course there's the mandatory but what about the children retort, but as others pointed out... today is murder and rape. Tomorrow it's watching kinky pr0n. And next week it's protesting fascists.
And yes, the same technology can be used to prove someone is innocent in jail. Pray tell me, what are these cases where the government does not give up over decades to prove they jailed the wrong guy? Because I have a hard time believing anyone who's innocent will benefit from this.
The article ends with: “The Mercator projection showed the spread and power of Christianity and is standard,” she said. “But it is not the real world at all. What the Boston public schools are doing is extremely important and should be adopted across the whole of the US and beyond.” Beyond the US even! Perhaps beyond the US other maps have already been adopted for this reason? I know that when I was in high school decades ago, our world map was not a Mercator projection for exactly this reason.
If those educators had been looking over the border they would have implemented this around the turn of this century.
It probably happens all the time, people having a "lucky" set of cards, bringing talismans, having "lucky rituals," and so on. The casino will be more than happy to comply as it just increases their profits.
In this case they probably brought in a fresh pack of cards, perhaps even bought from the Casino store with the stickers on them and still in the cellophane wrapper. Even on close inspection no tampering would be revealed because there was no tampering.
Yes, the cards were marked, but by design, not by something the dealer would have been looking for. It's a bit of a grey area, and everyone loves to see the Casino get reamed. If it weren't a casino but the local church trying to earn a buck for charity, public opinion would not be on the player's side. But it is a casino, a money greedy institution that will do everything to get your money into their pocket, so there we are.
One wonders to what extend they'll go out of their way to reimburse players who were a victim (by losing money to cheating players) of such "faulty material."
I work in shipping. At least for the sea-side of transport, cost is neglible. Landside transportation is more expensive, but it's still not a "major" component. Maybe 5% of the retail price for most articles found in stores, usually far, far less. After all, if transport was a major cost component, we'd be manufacturing locally, and not get it from all over the world.
Case in point: consumer goods that have the highest transport costs are cars. Even then, a lot of them are manufactured overseas. And we don't manufacture domestic cars in several plants all over the country, close to where they are being sold; we manufacture them in a few large plants, and usually not in areas where the majority of the population (westcoast, n/e coast) lives.
Transportation & Logistics is a major form of employment, and certainly those jobs are being threatened. But that has more to do with the side effects of automation (24/7, less liability, no strikes, etc) than with the actual cost itself.
Well speaking of Mickey Mouse, it will never leave copyright in the US, as it was published after Mickey hit the market. It's rather naive to think that it will be released to the public domain in 2042, as before that time the copyright act will be changed (as it is every 25 years) to extend copyright to 100 years after publication.
After all, we can't have any of Disney's movies enter into the public domain!
This seems to pop up every few years. I think the first time I was told the Cavendish was a goner was in 2000. Seems to be holding out pretty well though.
I'm going to take a few guesses here, because the article forces us to do so.
The article (especially the French source) seems biased in favor of the residents
Nowhere in the article does it list what the permit entails, information that would surely be easy to find for a half-competent journalist
The article does nowhere say that the site is in flagrant violation of the permit
As such, it is not inconceivable that the permit does mention diesel generators (that seem to be listed as a backup for grid power and are not running 24/7), Datacenter, and large tanks for diesel fuel.
Because if the company was violating the permit that would surely be mentioned. Instead it mentioned the public notice was hard to understand
So I'm guessing the company got all the paperwork done, nobody in the neighborhood bothered to read the notice and didn't protest when they had the chance. Company builds datacenter, now residents figure out first hand what the impact is.
I would think the company will file a lawsuit against the town for reimbursement—they did their due diligence on the paperwork after all—although this being France, chances are they'll be sent home with €0 and a zut alors.
Once SpaceX has worked out the kinks and has implemented this as a good way to reduce costs, some patent troll will step forward showing that he patented the very concept of this in 1998. "Elon Musk stole my invention".
The lawsuit will of course be filed in the court of East Texas.
Movies tend to be shot around 1/50" shutter speed, and that creates motion blur. The motion blur actually helps us see the animation as smooth, even at "only" 24 fps. Games on the other hand are razor sharp and will hence look much more like a staccato sequence of images than as an animation.
My father was a wise man, and a solid programmer. He liked Basic, because it was simple, and readable (in his environment the alternatives were mainly Assembler, Cobol, and RPG). Whenever people made fun of his love for Basic, and how it resulted in bad code, he always replied “there are no bad languages, just bad programmers.”
The problem isn't the spreadsheet. The problem is people building ugly models in it. Do they seriously think that if those models were written in C, Java or Perl they would have been magnitudes better? I doubt it; you're just transplanting bad habits onto a different platform.
Of course, if he'd used trained professionals to build his models in whatever language of choice the models would be better. If he'd used trained professionals to build his spreadsheet models they would have been better as well.
In the rest of the world a stolen smartphone will get bricked, but carriers are working against that in the US. I guess because stolen phones mean people will have to buy replacements and they'll get the kickbacks from Apple and Samsung for that. As long as stolen phones keep working in the US, they'll continue to be stolen.
It'll be hard for the US government to file a formal complaint without getting laughed at, as they've been doing the same (although not limited to Olympic Games) in their own country.
No, you know what you paid for when you refueled. And with near certainty that you took less than that on board.
Working for a major shipping line, installing flow meters on the intake valves showed "systematic measure errors" that all of a sudden were surprisingly easy to fix by the vendor.
Keep in mind that refueling a deep ocean vessel is not the same as getting 10 gallons at your local BP station. This is stuff that has the consistency of peanut butter and needs to be heated to flow in the first place; measuring how much fuel you have or took on board is not as trivial as it seems.

I love Google+ It's like your cloud version of an encrypted drive. Anything I want to keep a secret, I post it on Google+ It will be seen by no one.
That's the advantage of the HP-15C. You don't have to hope it works. You know it works.
Exceptional circumstances, like "Today's a day ending in a 'y'"

If your job can be done from your home, it can be done from India. Why would your employer pay $100/hr when they can pay $10/hr?
So you claim there will be three parts, release a part 1 and a part 2, end part two with a cliffhanger and then bork up the sequal. Again and again.
And after waiting long enough with the promised sequeal you claim we don't go retro for no reason. Nice way to treat fans.

Or so I was told by a moviemaker
My father was a wise man, and a solid programmer. He liked Basic, because it was simple, and readable (in his environment the alternatives were mainly Assembler, Cobol, and RPG). Whenever people made fun of his love for Basic, and how it resulted in bad code, he always replied “there are no bad languages, just bad programmers.”

And in space, as well!
No that's the DC-8.

Meaning it's listed somewhere in the bill of sale. "Well you bought the car, didn't you? There's your consent"
It'll be hard for the US government to file a formal complaint without getting laughed at, as they've been doing the same (although not limited to Olympic Games) in their own country.
I thought it was made pretty clear over the last few months that federal wiretap laws are worth less than used toiletpaper, so why is this a big deal?
