Precisely, one reason, not the only reason. Europe might have better healthcare systems than the US, which is why LE is higher there but that does not mean that Cuba has a better healthcare system than the US because it has higher LE. I offered an alternative explanation. Given that a lot of the health problems in the west (and especially the US) are caused by overconsumption (obesity, binge drinking, etc.) then this is not an unreasonable alternative explanation. These problems are also present in Europe (to a lesser extent) and maybe they handle them better with universal healthcare systems but that doesn't mean that overconsumption doesn't have an impact on LE, a problem that an authoritarian state can handle through compulsion.
I'm not sure there is anything to explain. I was pointing out that life expectancy is not an accurate proxy for the performance of a country's healthcare system.
So if life expectancy is ranked like this: Europe > Cuba > USA. It's still possible for the quality of the healthcare systems to be like this: Europe > USA > Cuba. Because Cuba's life expectancy is artificially raised by forcing everyone on to a healthy diet through rationing.
What do you think life expectancy would be like in the USA if everyone was forced to eat healthily?
What a great euphemism for rationing. One of the reasons the US has a lower life expectancy is that US citizens have the money and right to eat whatever they want.
But you can be forced to reveal who was driving your car when caught by a speed camera which implies no right to silence. Quote from the full judgement:
"The applicants contended that the right to remain silent and the right not to incriminate oneself are absolute rights and that to apply any form of direct compulsion to require an accused person to make incriminatory statements against his will of itself destroys the very essence of that right. The Court is unable to accept this."
How many people in Detroit were out of work once robots started spot welding all the car frames and moving parts into position for assembly
Any how many people were put out of work because people couldn't affort to go to a restaurant, cinema, or bar because of the high price of cars? Do you think that if we banned robots everybody would be employed and prices wouldn't rise? At the end of the day if someone is employed somebody else has to pay their salary. Destroying productivity never creates jobs.
...nearly all of the extra wealth created by this productivity increase is channeled into corporate dividends and not wages..Pattern is very clear - less workers doing more for about the same pay.
Except this is wrong. With competition the increases did not all go to shareholders. As companies competed prices fell. Food, cars, etc are all either cheaper or of much higher quality (often both). The poor of today live like the kings of the dark ages because they can afford many things that only the richest could afford before (or weren't even available then).
So because a master password does not provide perfect security we should make do with no security?
You might as well argue (warning, car analogy approaching) that because a determined thief could easily break into your car you might as well leave it unlocked with your laptop on the back seat.
I would be willing to place a large bet that in any scenario that would allow me to recover Chrome or Safari passwords, I would also be able to recover firefox passwords that are locked with a master password, within a reasonable amount of time.
Maybe, but without a master password anyone with a passing knowledge of firefox could get a copy of all your passwords in seconds.
"The Google executive is being brought back because it's now been shown that most of the Google operations are based in London, not Dublin and he was therefore telling porkies."
Google claim that their UK operations are in marketing and advertising, sales are negotiated and finalised in Dublin. So far no conclusive evidence has been found that Google UK staff are negotiating and finalising sales.
The PAC are just trying to distract attention away from the fact that the tax laws that are being explioted were designed by incompetent politicians like themselves. You can't blame companies when they are following the law. If they are not following the law they should be in court, not before the PAC. As IamTheRealMike said in an earlier comment, this is a show trial.
Every time I ever get an email or printout using Comic Sans it's from a woman. I got a name sign for my cubical in Comic Sans and I had to print myself a new one because I don't work in a f***ing kindergarten.
Exactly, and you could introduce suitable categories in to the paralympics for those who are "cromosomally challenged". The guys at the paralympics are experts at defining who does and who doesn't have a disadvantage due to various levels of disability.
First sentence of the article linked to (emphasis mine):
"His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 (1 Edw. 8 & 1 Geo. 6 c. 3) was the Act of the British Parliament that allowed King Edward VIII to abdicate the throne..."
The Act did not remove the monarch, it allowed him to abdicate.
Yes because the BBC wouldn't cancel a popular show that had been running for over 20 years on the whim of the Director General.
Oh wait, they did with Doctor Who.
The BBC is less accountable to viewers because they don't have to listen to them.

I agree, it's the DMCA that is anti-free-market not region locking itself.
In a free market companies are free to use region locking. Whether this is a good thing or not is a different question.

LTE-A is the 4G we were promised. LTE is "ITU-R folded to the network operators 4G" that we currently have.

The Standard Model doesn't predict that the electron EDM is zero.
Here's a good place to start.

First the robots came for the jellyfish, but I did not speak out because I was not a jellyfish ...

Actually 150 chips not 150 euros (otherwise why bother to contribute at all, the cost will be the same either way).
Wikipedia lists the operating systems supported for quite a few (but almost certainly not all) web browsers.

Sorry that should be the first sentence of the Wikipedia article: "His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936".
"His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 (1 Edw. 8 & 1 Geo. 6 c. 3) was the Act of the British Parliament that allowed King Edward VIII to abdicate the throne ..."

The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich von Hayek presents an argument why collectivism inevitably leads to this kind of feudal system.
You do know that the original DW was canceled in 1989?
Yes because the BBC wouldn't cancel a popular show that had been running for over 20 years on the whim of the Director General. Oh wait, they did with Doctor Who. The BBC is less accountable to viewers because they don't have to listen to them.
Newspapers are "opt-in" (you don't have to buy them) and they can still be sued for libel.
50/3600 = 0.0139 ft lb per second not 0.0139 HP, you need to divide by 550 giving you about 20 mW.
