Obviously that doesn't work, the power company would go broke and no-one would have power, except while it's sunny.
So why don't they fix their broken model and charge a fixed fee for everyone that is connected to the grid. Oh wait, they already do that (albeit a nominal fee). The "fair" solution is to set a fixed fee so that their grid-maintenance costs are covered. Then they can reduce their tariffs to reflect the true price of generating (not delivering) the electricity.
The courts ruled that if the business has a "significant business nexus" within the purchaser's State (usually meaning a "physical presence" link a branch store or warehouse)
And by using affiliates as a sales force, a "significant business nexus" is established in the purchaser's State. Hence, they have to collect sales tax for the purchaser's State, because they pay a sales force there.
Don't be surprised if, over the next year, Apple makes them start including the number of episodes or the length of the season for these passes. They don't get burned twice.
Oracle, love'em or hate'em makes some rock solid databases.
Yes, their databases are so rock-solid it is like getting blood from a stone if you need anything less than a business-critical patch (including fixes that have already been made on another platform) . This has been my experience on at least two separate occasions. I gave up waiting for a fix for a TCP-connect issue because they don't know how to handle EINTR during a 'connect'.
my default stance now is to treat the device as compromised until I can nuke it from orbit, do a complete re-install of the OS and reload any data from backups.
I know how to do an OS re-install and data restore, but can you tell me where you get the nukes?
My laptop is rarely off AC power. When I had the charger set to stop charging at 100% (and to recharge when 90%), my battery life greatly improved. OId battery dropped 60% in reported capacity in less than 2 yrs; new battery is barely down 30% in the following 4 years.
I call it Chinese electron torture for your battery -- drip, drip, drip.
I don't know how OS X controls battery charging, but all OS's should provide an option to stop charging at 100%.

Since there is no single lens that can capture a 360-degree view, obviously they are using multiple cameras. When you composite the final video, the view of the arm is obviously replaced by the same area, but from a different camera.
Does it bother you also that the ends of some of the rotor blades are not attached?
A few possibilities: 1. It is possible that another app is using the PDFReader's secret key, etc. It would still have to have given permission to the app. 2. Someone else installed it on your iPad using their own App Store credentials, gave permission, then uninstalled the app. 3. Dropbox has some other API issue that allows files to be uploaded somehow... 4. Any combination of the above.
I guess you'll see if the mystery uploads cease when you revoke the Dropbox access PDFReader has.
So some iOS app is interacting with the Dropbox app in some way (either via API or just throwing files into a folder that Dropbox must have all permissions open on).
Most likely they're using Dropbox's iOS SDK. That would have required you to give permission however.
Check Dropbox's My Apps to see if any 3rd party apps have access.
Or just use xe.com. I have transferred money multiple times and never had an issue. You know exactly how much you'll pay and how much they'll get. Send it to the (US) recipient via ACH and they won't pay anything to get the money.
Easy! There are 3 major groups of investors in the Facebook IPO fiasco.
You missed a group:
4) The institutional investors that are cozy with with investment bankers and get to buy-in at the IPO price. They are the ones that really want the first-day "pop", because it means they can off-load (some) at an easy 10-20% profit. Both of those groups like this racket, because for the next IPO, the institutional investors will come back, and the investment bankers will get more IPO fees because they can ensure a sold-out IPO to the next victim/company.

Yet without it, the office space is classed Grade Z (except the first floor).

So, in other words, make an electric car that has all the convenience of a gasoline car at the same price. Genius.
The title should say "Half of In-App Revenue ..." then, just like the article.
PBS has a great documentary about its design and construction. You can even watch it online for free. (Cookies probably required.)

I'd say Apple's days are numbered, although they're going to remain a dominant presence in the market for a very long time.
So, you're going to give them a really large number then?
I'm not seeing anything of significance from Apple; nothing like the compelling experiments Google or Microsoft keep putting forward.
Just because they don't sell their R&D experiments to developers doesn't mean they don't have any.
but so far I'm not seeing it.
Because you don't work in Apple's R&D perhaps?

In the land of the blind the one-eyed man directs traffic.
Only if he's stupid. Who would put themselves in the middle of a road with cars driven by blind people?!

being kept at 100% is much worse than ideal

Just when you start relying on it, Amazon won't shut it down.
Not intentionally, anyway.
Except the law says "an unmanned vehicle or aircraft".

Because generally, it is the only one authorized to.
(Of course, the Senate can propose amendments to those bills.)
You'll have that looked at, right?
Which he was not required to, since it was more than 10 years prior, as per the (claimed) court instructions.
Something like this is the one that the appeal will most likely rest upon.
Which Samsung's lawyer's didn't enquire after?
