Many cities try to limit or ban ridesharing services like Uber, but Sao Paulo is trying an uncommon strategy to keep the companies in check: skimming a little off the top.
If you think that's uncommon, you must not know any governments.
We're going to standardize on a standard which is itself obsolete and was replaced by a new standard, which we will surely standardize on as soon as another standard replaces it.

After reading more I don't think my initial interpretation was correct.
"Continuum" is the Windows 10 feature that switches UI based on device. "Continuum for Phone" is a different feature that lets you connect a Windows 10 phones to a screen+keyboard+mouse and work in a desktop-like interface.
Unfortunately, many people say "Continuum" when they mean "Continuum for Phone" so it's a mess trying to decipher what's really going on:
1) The summary and some reports describe Continuum coming to to Remote Desktop, which would mean your UI will switch based on what device you're using. 2) Other reports talk about Remote Desktop coming to Continuum, which could mean MS is updating their phones' RDP app to run under the desktop-like "Continuum for Phone" interface.
The original release from Microsoft specifies "Continuum for Phone", so at this point I'm putting my money on the second interpretation. Sorry for adding to the confusion.
Windows 10 has a 'Desktop Mode' and a 'Tablet Mode'; in the latter the UI is more tuned for touches, gestures, and small displays. App developers can likewise create separate desktop and tablet UIs. On a desktop, Windows and apps will use their desktop UI, on a tablet, Windows and supporting apps use their tablet UI. On a convertible device like the Surface Book they can even change as the screen is docked and undocked.
This is Continuum.
Continuum didn't extend to RDP, though, so when you used a tablet to connect to your desktop, Windows would still render the desktop UI. This change will allow your desktop to switch to the tablet UI when you connect via a tablet or other touch device. Of course, it's still up to app developers to support it.
We should get rid of history classes while we're at it... how many kids become historians?
In fact, let's go back to apprenticeships and work-training. Imagine how quickly we could get working-class children into their lifetime careers of burger-flipping and form-filling and ditch-digging if we remove all the distraction of a 'well-rounded education'...
True, but it's rather macabre to wish death on an animal so your children can experience grief.
As TFS points out, "The same things that allow us to live longer also apply to our pets"; hopefully your human family members will live longer along with your pets.
I was aware of TFA, but 10 years ago typical phones (in the US at least) weren't even 2G. I was adding network changes to the list of reasons phones don't work as reliably as a decade ago, sorry if it was misleading.
Speaking of TFA, it would be nice to have the actual numbers from the study. In the article they focus on the worst number in each category... which isn't that useful statistically.
Also, there's a ton more of them these days and they're sending and receiving a massive amount of data, which necessitated switching from the old analog AMPS network to increasingly complex digital networks and opening up much higher frequency bands which don't penetrate as well.
It's like saying "WiFi routers were better 10 years ago" because back then you had the whole 2.4GHz band to yourself.
Most organized anything, religion included, is ultimately about money. I'm just not comfortable with government granting special privilege to people based on their affiliation, as the duty of the state should be to ensure fair access to public lands, not to let some minority of citizens extort the rest.
Aside: Is there any example of 'ancestral claims to land' not ending in a giant mess?
Section 7. The State reaffirms and shall protect all rights, customarily and traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural and religious purposes and possessed by ahupua’a tenants who are descendants of native Hawaiians who inhabited the Hawaiian Islands prior to 1778, subject to the right of the State to regulate such rights.

It may be law, but it makes me uneasy when a religion becomes enshrined in law. I guess we're lucky they're not cannibals.
There's nothing like getting exactly the parts you want, though that also comes with the risk of incompatibility. Also, as you upgrade you can potentially save money by reusing parts like the case, PSU, heatsink + fans, drives, cables and possibly even the Windows license.
However, if you're starting fresh and want to make things a little easier, consider that the graphics card is the only major difference between a gaming and non-gaming PC. Buying a decent desktop and adding upgrades (video card, decent PSU, possibly a SSD) will often be cheaper and more reliable than assembling everything from scratch.
If you're not experienced assembling and troubleshooting PCs at all, consider one of the frequent 'HP Envy Phoenix' deals. For the past six months they've been selling very decent gaming rigs for below the cost of components; for instance, a couple weeks ago they were offering a system complete with i7-4790K and GTX 980Ti for ~$970, which is about what you'd pay for those two parts alone. Check Slickdeals or your favorite deal site for more information.

That's just stupid on so many layers.
You wouldn't grow plants in the open, not just due to (the lack of) atmospheric pressure but because you'd lose valuable water invested in them.
For the foreseeable future, any farms on Mars would be grown indoors in a densely stacked hydroponics or aeroponics environment.
Because nobody wants to eat sweet potato with every meal.
Potato, on the other hand...
Vivendi also acquired UMG and most of EMI over the last decade or so.
Winamp, EMI and Universal Music Group under one roof... how times have changed.
I would set the HTTP response's ETag to the offending content ROT13'd, but that's just me.
I filter those out at layer 3.

According to the first charts Unity + Chrome 46 runs faster on a 2.6 GHz i7 + GT 750M MacBook Pro than a 3.3.GHz i7 + GTX 960 Windows desktop. Huh?
Do these numbers prove certain browsers are faster, or that Unity is unevenly optimized?
(Note: Firefox 41 is also faster on the MBP, though that can be attributed to Firefox for Windows being only 32-bit)
