We can bid on the Oval Office to be President for 1 term. AirBnB the Queen's Bedroom and Lincoln Bedroom, bidding starts at $100k/night. Those with wealth and success are obviously the most qualified to run the country and deserve the perks of their success and our admiration.
Until you can make your own integrated circuits at home, I think we'll need a rather large and costly tech industry to support our modern life style. Frankly I don't think it likely that universities will start building foundries and running them on government grants to supply CPUs to the masses, not even in Europe.
Repair is a fixed price because the factors in "repair" are always the same. 1. support call and approval of "repair" 2. shipment of a refurbish unit from inventory 3. recovery - added to refurbished inventory
It's unlikely that you get your same unit back from any sort of business like this. In some cases the unit may be opened up and the main board(s) are swapped out. In other cases the unit is put into a recovery pile and customer receives an equivalent refurbished unit. This is usually the case for warrant service, but it can happen in cases where customer is paying for repair.
You can write English without ever using comma. You can write English without ever making a list. You can use a tedious style like this for all your legal documents. Eventually we will eliminate other core syntax from English in our legal documents. Maybe pronounces should be next?
you're right. I was going to go on a tangent about amoebas and how they can do both, but I lost the point and ended up editing it out of my post and not proof reading it. I did get a good grade in high school biology, some decades ago.
I suspect things like this have happened in the past but the resulting species are evolutionarily unstable since they can't evolve quickly enough to escape threats and eventually die out.
Lots of single celled organisms divide asexually (meiosis). They are successful primarily because they can reproduce quickly. They adapt with a massive number of generations in a short amount of time. Complex organisms don't usually reproduce quickly, so parthenogenesis has some very significant disadvantages for them.
And lobsters use telomerase to add telomere repeat sequences to their chromosomes after normal cell division. You can make viable clones for millions of generations this way.
But my earlier post is a reference to in-game purchases being more like gambling through proxy. If you've ever worked on a mobile app team one of the sources of office entertainment is tracking your biggest whale. After a while you start to feel weird that some guy has spent $8,700 on your useless game widgets.
It's not any of our responsibility on who Equifax choosers to hire or promote into key roles. Equifax should stand by their own decisions and make it right when they fail. I don't actually care about the details or whose fault it is, because fault is not the same thing as responsibility.
The current leadership hard line approach to nearly everything with little to no thinking of any ethical ramification.
Don't be so dramatic. Every administration has taken a hard line approach when it comes to hackers. We put them in prison and throw away the key. While white collar criminals that rip off billions of dollars are out after a year, if punished at all. And murderers, actual fucking murderers, can get out sooner than a hacker.
The US government had made it clear for decades. Hackers are scum and have no rights. It's not Trump doing this, it's something baked into the culture of our legislature and executive branch. We operate a police state when it comes to computer crime and copyright infringement.
High school is only 4 years long. And there are foundations, such as mathematics, that are learned there, but a high school education should be considered incomplete for full entrenchment of a participant in our democracy. There is simply not enough time in high school to cover the number of great books that should be a mandatory part of education (ex: Homer, Herodotus, Euclid, Virgil, Chaucer, Newton, Hamilton & Madison, Lord Byron, Alexis de Tocqueville, Thoreau, Riemann, Charles Pierce, Nietzsche, and many others)
Now it should be criminal neglect perpetrated by our politicians and bureaucrats that we have people graduating from public high school that do not have an understanding of basic algebra, let alone trigonometry. They have read essentially nothing, none of the books I've listed. They are generally scientifically illiterate, to the degree that even a grasp of the purpose of the scientific method eludes them. And graduates failed to acquire the most important skill of all, the ability to teach themselves through research and reason.

Creating bureaucracies to administrate arbitrary rules is freedom to you?

This is how you lose your personal freedom.
It's because the restaurant can't charge me $4 per person for soft drinks.
Probably a reference to known by products when burning coal, oil or wood
The Earth isn't flat either, sorry if that comes as a shock.
I burned my house down just to piss of solicitors.
Controls the universe!

How exciting watching the great innovations of the 21st century unfold before our eyes.
The biggest sadness about San Francisco / bay area is the children of tech people are lost.
The Bay Area is a great place for a kid to skateboard and smoke pot.

Such a species will pretty much decimate any body of water if gets into.
Yet we wouldn't have beer without yeast.

I'm not expecting to function as an investment.
A belief not universally held, I'm afraid.

If you really want to protect consumers, block purchases of garbage like in-game currency.
That's a real classic. Have you stopped beating your wife?
Because maybe I've been a registered Republican after I switched from Libertarian for Ron Paul in 2012.
I am terribly sorry your crackpot theories are not mainstream.
You misunderstand the primary purpose of a college education.
