For one thing, go to any helicopter school and ask if everyone finishes.
Go to any school that teaches anything and ask if everyone finishes. As you point out yourself, the major factor is running out of money.
What I said is that if helicopters were as cheap as cars, millions more people would learn to fly. Nothing you've said contradicts that. Flying helicopters is hard, no doubt, but it's not so hard that there aren't still millions of people left in the world who could learn to fly but haven't yet.
Some people are simply better at hands-on things than other people.
Yes, because some people devote their time and effort to doing "hands-on things" and consequently become better at it over time. When you see someone who is good at something, the lazy man's clutch is to say, "They can do that because they're naturally talented. I'd never be good at it, so why bother trying?" The truth is that the talented person started out just as untalented, then spent years or decades perfecting the talent.
If helicopters were as cheap as cars, millions more people would learn to fly. It's difficult, but every helicopter pilot today was once a layman who didn't know how to fly. There is no such thing as someone who is naturally good at flying helicopters, just people who put in the time and effort to learn.
They're just called helicopters. Helicopters do everything flying cars were supposed to do, they're just too expensive for the average person. Regardless of any new technology, the extra energy needed to overcome the force of gravity means that such craft will still be expensive relative to cars or trains.
Seattle P-I's list of deaths for that week includes a 51-year-old man who died on March 13, but his name was William M Culver, not Jerry. It appears the poster fit their story to match that article, knowing that people would find it.
Next, a court order can not make logs that do not exist magically appear...
If the court order says "you will held liable if you don't keep logs" then yes, they can. And it's not just logs. Any information the service has about you is potentially discoverable. It's all a matter of how much you've pissed off whoever it is that's coming after you. If you're a pedophile terrorist drug lord, no company is going to be withstand the pressure.
If the OP is only using Hulu and Netflix, it doesn't matter. They're not going to subpoena the service's logs just on the chance that you might not be in the US.
TorrentFreak's article is more about BitTorrent piracy. In that case, any US-based service ultimately has to comply with a lawful court order, so they're vulnerable even if they say they don't keep logs.
But because of Android, that income from iPhone is going to disappear. Apple is in the process of moving to other map and video solutions, and presumably has a plan to move from Google search too at some point.
Wouldn't that happen anyway? If Android didn't exist, do you think Apple would be content to leave that revenue to Google permanently, as a sort of "thank you" for not competing in the mobile space? That seems awfully nice of them. In fact, I think it might be illegal.
Is it not a worthwhile effort to save consumers from losing money on devices that drop dead under normal use? I can see the argument about whether the Raspberry Pi counts as a "finished product", but if we were talking about, say, a television remote, it would be unacceptable to have to take ESD precautions just to change the channel.
If you give up the expectation of privacy, then there will be no consequences for invading your privacy and then you really won't have any privacy. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Comcast doesn't want to compete with the likes of Google, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix on an equal footing. Owning the network is the one advantage they have. If Xfinity was just one of several options, no one would pick it. You go with it because that's what the cable company offers and you go with the cable company because of where you live.
An economist will tell you that it's all your money and you should be as careful with your winnings as you would be with the money in your bank account. That said, it is psychologically much easier to cope with losing something if you weren't expecting to get it in the first place.
Something has to drive the process of creating memories, which are internal physical states that have a correspondence with external reality. You could think of the direction of a plant's shoots as a kind of memory that encodes the direction of the Sun. The work is done by a simple, mindless process, but it pretty much has to be.
Now, no one wants to criminalise people walking in groups (at least I don't), but gangs (of you people I must add) most certainly walks in groups and do cause a nuisance, engage in threatening behaviour and in some cases commit crimes.
So pass a law against causing a nuisance and engaging in threatening behavior. (I assume "committing crimes" is already against the law in the UK.) Surely you don't want anyone doing those things, whether or not they have an ASBO.
Most audiences above the age of 6 just want to be told a story, not to direct it themselves. There just isn't a demand for choose-your-own-adventure storytelling.
What about video games? Some of the most popular games are basically choose-your-own-adventure movies.
Can they really make you do your job? If they define your job to include "Posting shit on Facebook" and you don't do it, then you're not living up to your duties.
I don't imagine it's actually a problem for most people, but there are jobs out there that require interacting with the public. If the company spokesperson doesn't like being a public figure, well, they need to find a new line of work.
I don't think there's anything illegal about the project, but it seems explicitly designed to thwart the efforts of the Software Freedom Conservancy. The SFC technically only has authority to enforce the GPL when it comes to BusyBox, but when they find a BusyBox violation, they use that to pressure companies to come into compliance with other GPL software, namely the Linux kernel. The project author thinks that's a bad thing, preferring to allow "naive or defunct" companies make "mistakes" with non-BusyBox GPL software without worrying that the SFC might come after them.
Isn't that the point? With open source, you have to be better than the best coder that might ever read your code. With closed source, you don't have to be very good at all.
There will never be a do-or-die moment where you need to use IPv6. For many years coming, IPv4 addresses will still be available, just at a slowly increasing cost. People and institutions will switch over gradually when the cost of IPv4 exceeds the cost of switching to IPv6, which will happen at a different point for everyone.
Most parts of the world don't use a 13-month calendar either. It seems an odd thing to draw the line at what day the week starts on because that would be too much change to get used to.
The extra day wouldn't be a part of any week. It wouldn't be a Sunday, Monday, or any other day of the week. It'd just be its own day. The calendar would go:

If the report had come to the opposite conclusion, the other side would claim the scientists are corporate shills. You just can't win.

However, bear in mind, I never said *you* are an "average" player, in fact, I pretty much imply that you are not.
Right. That's the problem. This isn't Lake Wobegon where everyone is above average. On average, the "you" reading your post is going to be... average.

London has had, since almost forever, a system composed of cameras and humans.
Yes and with this you don't need either, which saves money and allows you to extend the system to areas that aren't as dense as London.
