No way for laymen to verify? Hell, I'm not sure how anyone could verify it. Short of taking the devices apart under electron microscopes and seeing changes in the hardware as a result of voting, I'm not even sure how anyone could.
Windows also runs a lot of software that is Windows/Mac only. Visual Studio, Adobe products, Autodesk products. Then there are games (and game dev toolkits). There are also numerous internal apps.
That article's hyperlinked source (from its first line) says different from the article. Or rather, the article cherry-picked data to make its point. The data says after Texas and Florida, California grew the most. That didn't work with the hill's predetermined narrative, so they switched to different, processed, stats that did.
It might be defensive against Amazon. They tried to push hard with the Fire phone (and failed), but maybe they (or MS) plan to try again with another Android variant? Because both of those companies are willing to lose billions in subsidized hardware to try to get a piece of the smartphone market. I mean, they already spent billions, and I see no reason why (assuming they think they have a better plan) they wouldn't try again.
In the early 2000's NASA published a lot of software allowing for better simulation and design of nozzles and reaction chambers, leading to much better design efficiencies. It was right after that that Musk, Bezos and Branson decided to invest in space programs
Maybe the fact that companies aren't moving out of California means that the market has already spoken, and that making a shitty state low-tax doesn't make up for being a shitty state. Maybe those low-tax states should raise taxes and become better places to live to attract those companies.
It's so strange to assume that really rich companies (or billionaires) care so much about saving 10% off their taxes that they'll take a heavy hit to their quality of life. I mean, they could save more than that by moving from a private jet to first-class or a 250' yacht to a 200' yacht. And they don't.
No, he's a potential new customer, which actually makes him more valuable
Business schools teach a "potential new consumer" is worth about 10% of an existing consumer. Because he is likely to have many reasons not to switch. (You think a new cord is a bigger deal than his entire app library?) You want to keep your customers happy first.
The Ford example is very wrong because it's not a potential new customer. It's a new customer.
And frankly, I don't see anyone switching to an iPhone who is going to care about the cables. If you're willing to pay a premium for the hardware/OS/store, then you're willing to pay a premium for a new cable. Meanwhile, if you think getting rid of the headphone jack made people not want to upgrade, get rid of their new lightning headphones, and all their other accessories. Getting rid of the lightning port hurts their best customers the most.
Also, the lightning cable is better than USB-C. It's more solid (can support the weight of the phone), and it's more wear resistant and it's designed so the wear goes more on the cable, not the phone.
I mean, for now. But eventually solar energy should be used to make solar panels. And eventually, to mine the materials. There may be by-products of creation (e.g. slag from ore refinement), but there's no logical reason we cannot get to 100% renewable energy. With enough energy we can recycle materials from older panels too, so we can start limiting those by products.
This is 14 trillion liters of water. The oceans contain approximately 1,340,146 trillion liters of water. That's 1/10,000th of the volume. Not something you'd notice. The issue is that once the glacier loses enough strucural support/mass, they whole Flordia sized chunk will slide into the ocean. Which will add significantly more volume (Florida vs. Manhattan). And all at once.
If the traffic citation was a crime, that would be the case. But, it's not. It's a violation, sure. But it falls into a weird sub-misdemeanor category. (Usually, some are crimes like DUI. Obviously, varies by state. IANAL, check with one. other disclaimers)
The title implies a correlation between zero rating and high mobile costs. That could mean that higher costs encourage zero rating, or no causation exists. However, the title is a crappy summary that omits the key takeawy of the study. What the study shows is that making zero rating legal leads to higher prices than they otherwise would be. The actual study measures the change in cost when zero rating is made legal vs. the change in cost of neighboring EU countries where zero rating is not. While there are other differences between counties, that's as good an experiment as you are likely to get in the real world. What they found is that countries that legalized zero rating had rates that went up. Countries that did not legalize zero rating actually had rates that went down.
If the flag were backed up by laws that severely fined companies who violated it, I would expect most ad companies would respect it. After all, non-tailored ads are still worth something (Superbowl ads were non-tailored and over $10.5 million a minute)
I'd be surprised if such apps don't exist on Windows
I'd be surprised if it existed for Windows (at least at the basic level GP is talking about), but only because the OS has had it built in since at least Windows 7.
iOS isn't gating permissions with the cell connection, it's allocating your data cap. I don't think it's possible to keep apps from calling home.
As you pointed out, it's impossible to tell the difference between legit data and UI analysis data (well, can be made very difficult to the point of being functionally impossible).
Ah, you're right. I thought that the ownership by the government was the original and they let private companies buy in a small amount. Oops!
But, in the course of reading about the RBS, I discovered that the notes they print aren't legal tender, they are promissory notes. So, redeemable at the RBS (which presumably has assets to back it up.) So, it's like saying VISA and AmEx are "printing currency" by selling prepaid credit cards. Except those use credit. So, it would be like the various house currencies (fun bucks, whatever), except they are so ubiquitous that you can use them for real transactions as well. I mean, the US has things like the Liberty Dollar, and Bitcoin is another attempt at this.
Quotas are different than getting paid by the ticket. Cops don't get a commission for giving tickets. They are expected to give a certain number per month.
I also know some states have non-tickets that count towards this quota. So, for instance, warnings for headlights being out or pulling over someone suspected of being drunk (but is just a little sloppy) still results in some paperwork. Because how do you know your traffic cops are doing anything if they go out for eight hours and wrote nothing down? They could be goofing off like in Super Troopers.
And confiscation is a different kettle of fish altogether.
If it's a backup, and the price goes up, you tell them to pound sand. I'm not saying the cloud should be your primary storage. Heck, I'm not even saying the cloud should be your only backup. But, it works for some uses. Yes, you pointed out a lot of issues. Although I would point out your safety deposit box has all the same issues the cloud does. It's not space you own, you cannot access it whenever you want (the bank is closed during hours, or could just deny you access) they can raise the rates, etc. etc. etc.
Look, if using some software to the cloud gets people to back up files, that's a damn good thing. We talked about the advantage from our point of view. But if you don't even know to buy and external to back up, using software and doing it to the cloud is way better than what you were doing before.
I mean, there are other benefits to cloud storage than just access anywhere. It's offsite, where most people keep their backups in the same building. It's on media that periodically gets replaced. Yes, you can rebackup on newer drives, etc, but this is done for you. Okay, that's two reasons.
Leading is higher. The leader controls the resources, the spearheader is the project owner. To use a computer example, a CIO might lead a new initiative to rewrite some internal tool, while an Architect or Sr. Engineer would spearhead the project.

If it's supposed to work at 170 tonnes, testing it under ideal conditions at 172 isn't leaving much room for things to go wrong.
The state of California is actually a huge institutional investor, and probably owns billions of dollars of tech stocks.
Maybe the fact that companies aren't moving out of California means that the market has already spoken, and that making a shitty state low-tax doesn't make up for being a shitty state. Maybe those low-tax states should raise taxes and become better places to live to attract those companies.

Why do you think their goal is to maximize funding? Isn't this a non-profit designed to change society?

The "Ryal Bank of Scotland" is a gvt agency. It's like being amazed that Germany andFrance can both print euros.,

You have several errors in your code. Please fix them and repost.
Banks cannot print money. They can be embezzled from. Which would cause this particular bank to lose money.
And one of those worries was Alexa/Google always listening. And they were selling an IoT security system.
