Exchange isn't special. But it is what a lot of big businesses use. Because it was one of the first well known brand system to support Email, Contacts and Calendar info. Back in the day where Microsoft was the cool company. During this time having a unified app vs common protocols were popular. Being that migrating off Exchange is a bitch, most companies will just keep it.
Fuel economy in the past was never a big seller (Especially in the US) . Sure we may have talked about it. But if gave an option more Pep vs. Better fuel economy. Pep normally won. So there wasn't that much interest in really checking the claims of companies on their cleanness and fuel economy, as it wasn't the reason why we chose that car. However with $4.00 a gallon gas common only a few years ago. Increased media attention on Carbon pollution, and the success of newer energy efficient cars, Hybrid and Electric. Fuel economy has became a selling point. So we are interested in it, thus claims need to be verified. Because we are now buying a car because it is better for the environment. Not buying a car for normally other features, and if it happen to have good milage just be benefit.
So we are now checking it because it is an important factor to consider.
There are tons of products out there that don't meet their specifications or fully say what they suppose to do. However if those extra features don't matter to us, then we really don't care and don't press the issue.
Lets say use Treadmills. They have a calorie calculator on it. Are they accurate? Or do they under estimate so you will work harder, or do the over estimate so you feel better about the results of your exercise. But we don't get or use a Treadmill because we care much about the calorie calculator we use it for exercise.
Depending on you are in the late 1990 early 2000 old school you believe in the idea of using generic tools to do your work. Which trades off effency of the task on hand with the ability to work with a well maintained system. Late 2000s to today we are likening the idea of more custom solutions to our tasks so we can do what we need more effectively and easier. At the expense of having less maintained system. Today's app and cloud consept is more akin to the old PC program and mainframe of the mid 1980's. However today we have the ability to make far more reliable apps (due to less system limitations) and servers can scale much easier.
It isn't about smart vs stupid or old vs new it is about choosing which trade offs you are willing to risk for the reward. And as technology advances these trade offs change.
Location is a big factor too. Which is makes the law rather unfair. If you work in a metro area you could be making well over 50k a year and stugguling. While in a more rural area 50k you can live a upper middle class style. So those NYC lower "managers" getting 60k a year are getting really screwed. While the Deep South professional who is getting 48k a year could be getting a huge bonus.
Harsh punishments to laws, have less to do with justice then getting revenge.
Much like DUI, it will create a long court legal process for a mistake done by a person. With a good chance of finding a loophole to let the person go, and the court will normally allow this, because it is better off to let the guilty go free, then permanently harming an innocent man.
The key advantage of big data is the ability to show us where to look. But after that we need to dig further with much smaller data and science to see what the cause is.
Gold doesn't corrode, and it conducts well. Thus making it really good, and can last for a long time. Copper will corrode, so after a few years of usage it could reduce in quality.
Unless you are using some sort of Hippie All Open Hardware. The devices that most of us have come from companies with rather big pockets. Apple, Samsung, Lenovo, Microsoft... Will pay those big usage fees for the ability to make their products with better advertised battery life and reliability.
As well the Electric Auto Market would love to have a long term Lithium battery. As most electric cars are still using less efficient batteries just because they cannot get the expected 10 years out of a Lithium Battery
Why would you want to fly a drone costing hundreds/thousands of dollars 1700 feet? That is the part about all this Rogue Dronery the fact that these things are not cheap, why would you want to risk them for general hooliganism.
Your response to "As the creator stated in the story. It was attended as art not hard science to push decisions." Doesn't seem like you had read the article or the post you responded to. Political purpose isn't science. The hard science is needed to show if it is safe or not is needed. The Art and Politics is expressing the fear and concern about the long term effect nuclear power and its safety.
This was meant as art, it isn't meant to have these checks against normal background radiation and even a multi dimensional show of the area. It is art, and have of it more than the graph lines, it just showing the empty seemingly well built building void of life or activity.
Sure it can be political, but not meant to be a scientific evidence to show if it is safe or not. The goal is to express the long term effect of radiation on the community. However it isn't meant to show what areas are safe and dangerous. Art is an expression of an idea, science is the data to prove it.
I have a Wii and a Wii U. Not because it is a superior system. However the Nintendo brand games seems to be better for family play. Me and my wife have only one TV setup, if we are to play a game, we will play a game together. So games like Mario Kart, Mario Party and Smash Bros are high on our list of games to play. After we decided to get off the Wii we did our research on the Xbox 1 and PS4 (Mostly because we use them for netflix/hulu/amazon prime) And the More powerful boxes had serious games titles, and less fun games for casual play.
Instead of overlaying the text, it should replace the text on the signs so it will translate and keep the original style. Much like how in Dr. Who the TARDIS translates.
Well it has been recognized for a while. That Global Climate change will have areas which benefit from it and those that will not. For the most part, and why it is hard to call people to action, is that we as humans are rather adaptable to climates, so while our long term environmental food cycles and water cycles are affecting a lot of life in the world. We as humans are not so affected. Attempts in the past to try to exaggerate the effects on humans (Images of NYC flooded so you can only see the top of the statue of liberty) May mobilize some, but it also turns a lot of people away, as these potent images, which turn out to be false, discredits the more realistic problem.
Fine let us get one based in China, or Russia, perhaps Iran, or Saudi Arabia. Or do you think your European countries are so much more noble that they wouldn't do such a thing? Perhaps they are just better at hiding it. You know without constitutional levels of freedom of the press for many members.
Also VW had a big marketing campaign showing how Clean Diesel was so much more better than Hybrid cars. Touting their superior gas mileage and green creds, vs those lame priuses. Showing VW was just flat lying about it, despite a full marketing hype. Mitsubishi, at least in America, may had posted fuel economy, but they weren't doing their big sales push because of it.
Being that Ubuntu is one of the more popular distributions, that means is must be hated on slashdot. Granted it is one of the distributions that comes with a good selection of drivers available. As well decent defaults for standard desktop usage.
Would I use it for a server? No, but for an OS on my laptop for standard stuff and some development. I have no complains at least with the last version. It is much easier to deal with than Windows 10.
Being that normal PC's with fast CPU were expensive systems. Because they needed fast CPU for the 5% chance you need them. The cloud allows Cheaper slower processors on the PC that can handle 95% of the processing, and have a pool of servers handling the 5% request in bulk.
So you can buy a cheaper PC and get more overall processing done.
My home has a private well. When the power goes out, I will get 1 good flush (From what is in the tank). The faucets will have perhaps a few seconds of pre existing pressure in them. Municipal Water Supply has backup energy from backup generators. Also its distance means it may not be in your black out area.

Programs talking with a standard set of protocols work just as well.

Well that could also exclude muscular people.
Also Fat people in the right spots can be attractive too.

I wouldn't even go that far. I expect a manager was tasked to setup the network. So he just did what he would do for his home network.

Why not? Musk seems more conserned about expanding the electric car infrastructure then just being the only player in it.
