About 100 m is about 300 feet, or maybe about 350 feet, but it is not 328 feet.
I'd say the best approximation is either 110 yards, or 325 feet (yes, they're different). 110 yards has about the right mount of significance from a decimal point of view. 325 looks like a round number, much more so than either 320 or 330.
So, to state this plainly, the plan is to get the government involved to make the marketplace more open to other competitors.
Sure, that's gonna work out real well. Morons.
Yeah, government can never make markets more competitive by restricting a overly powerful companies..

I was asking why the U.S. dollar is not fan based, i
To pay US income and property taxes (and sales, etc.), you need US dollars. To invest in US bonds, you need US dollars. Both of those are by law. So there's always some demand for them.
You never need Bitcoin.
Because of the legal need for US dollars, practical needs arose. See buying stocks on the NYSE or NASDAQ.
Well, they bought Minecraft recently. But yeah, I don't get why not. I believe they have a decent enough reputation in letting companies they buy run themselves that Valve could keep its flat organization (if negotiated into the purchase)
the future is inherently unknowable(*), andd it would be hugely unjust to punish someone for a crime that they hadn't actually committed.
There are interesting questions. If a magic machine can predict a future murder with 99.9% accuracy, and has the ability to kill the murderer in advance, but not the ability to communicate it to a third party for any lesser prevention, is it good to use. Using it saves 999 lives, for every one life it costs. That's a good deal.
It gets even more interesting if you're only interested in social order, and you are predicting 1.2 bil. people's actions. Like the gas laws, actions in aggregate are predictable even if the individual ones are not.
B&N does. The Nook has an eInk version that's comparable to the Kindle. It works pretty well for sideloading books from Project Guttenburg.
There's an initial boot-up set of magic taps that puts you in some special recovery/testing/debugging mode that... does something I would look up. And I think you can root it to stock Android if you really want to.
Use the numbers to make some predictions. Some combinatorics and probabilities. Have an idea what the numbers reported in the press actually mean and how reliable they are.
The math behind stats, and specifically combinatorics and probabilities, isn't actually that important when it comes to understanding the published statistics. Of far more import is causation vs. correlation, sampling (and other) biases, hindsight based correlation discovery, and others.
In other words, if you know the math, but not how to set up a problem in real life, you'll be more mislead. It's not surprising most people don't know that, because most people don't know how to set up a problem in real life.
Which is the scariest: Amazon, Google, or Facebook? Microsoft/Apple only have a portion of their large market, and Netflix/Hulu/AmazonVideo/YouTube/etc are splitting the market there.
Eventually, if/when he's the nominee and raises funds from other people, his campaign will pay him back with interest
Legally, he has to pay himself back before he accepts the nomination (I believe). Or funds raised after that don't count or something. It doesn't matter. He's raising enough money now to pay himself back by then.
Merely paranoid theory: Because then you are advertising for Google (over Apple or Microsoft) every time you use anything.
Properly paranoid theory: Repetition, esp. repeated verbalization, strengthens neurons in the brain. This means, you are literally brainwashing yourself into thinking "Google" more often, reinforces the notion that Google solves this specific problem (of payment), and grows the notion that Google solves all generic problems. And this is in the speaker's mind. This phenomenon is why cults force members and inductees to repeat mantras.
They always claimed their console emulated a PC. It's always run some core kernel of Windows, and the first one was expressly built from COTS computer parts.
Software written for a known, precise, platform will be able to use that hardware more effectively and have fewer bugs. I don't know how much better a generic computer needs to be to make up for that specificity, but you might look at how far behind emulators are to get a rough estimate.

Whatever else you want to say about Edge, the design spec given to the team was a print out of the w3c spec.

Actually, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 cm, according to the NIST.
Electricity post-dates the metric system, so the US uses SI units for electricity.
Nonsense, on two levels. First, he only removed the "n't", it's more efficient. Second, it happened a long while ago.
One of these things is not like the other.

Gamers aren't nerds. They end to be under-35, but that's pretty much it. Games are mainstream.
It seems to be that the UI instructions came over the network. Is X Windowing networked (honest question)?
In fairness, it's non-obvious now. 30 years ago... I dunno? Cannot speak with much authority about computers back then.

Well, I'm not sure how much more on-point the questions need to be. Examples of what's being left out?
