If GP's premise were amended to limit to governments of significant international power/clout, would you accept her/his hypothesis? I am a little torn. I would love* to hear counter-examples to the limited premise. Brazil, maybe? Present-day Japan?
I recognize that you are entitled to your opinion, but I do not think that the full list of acquisitions and where they are now necessarily supports your assertion. A fair number of those companies are now tightly integrated with the platform.
The more recent purchases are not bound so closely, but that may be because the integration effort is not complete as much as it may be that they don't intend ever to do so.
Can someone who understands the subject matter better than I do please explain to me how "cents per watt" is an applicable comparative metric for fossil fuels and solar cells?
It would (at least apparently) seem to me that when you use a unit of fossil fuel, it is gone. By contrast, if you have a solar cell, it will continue to be useful for as long as the sun and the cell have line of sight.
So aren't fossil fuels inherently measured in Joules?
Does this mean that there would be an incentive for a college to prevent the graduation of students who statistically less likely to be employed (as qualified by DeptEd) upon graduation?
Maybe we should take the chance that none of the for-profit schools' bean-counters will ever notice...
I have a Pebble. It lasts ~7 days with my usual watch face, and much less time if I use a weather-fetching one. I can put up with this... I switch to the weather when I'm curious, and leave it on the main one otherwise.
However, I can't imagine that a full-color touchscreen with a microphone in a form-factor smaller than a Pebble is going to last you even 8 hours.
Because we set a precedent with Kosovo that a region of a country can break away if enough of the population there want it to. Unless self-determination only applies where the West approves of the outcome. I guess in that regard, it's pretty much like elections, military-coups, etc.
I humbly submit that in the secessions of Kosovo and (more recently) Southern Sudan, the inclination of the national government toward genocide and/or systematic violence might be a relevant factor?
XVII. First of all, then, he repealed all the laws of Drakon, except those relating to murder, because of their harshness and the excessive punishments which they awarded. For death was the punishment for almost every offence, so that even men convicted of idleness were executed, and those who stole pot-herbs or fruits suffered just like sacrilegious robbers and murderers. So that Demades afterwards made the joke that Drakon's laws were not written with ink, but with blood. It is said that Drakon himself, when asked why he had fixed the punishment of death for most offences, answered that he considered these lesser crimes to deserve it, and he had no greater punishment for more important ones.
The first part of your comment is insightful, but I believe the second portion is misleading.
This article attempts to make it sound like google glass users are a group that is discriminated against. That is not the case.
It is entirely the case that Google Glass users are a group that are discriminated against, because they are (in their entirety) a subset of the group that could be construed as recording someone where they do not wish to be recorded. This group also includes people who take (or appear to take) photos and videos in a bar. It could include other people with other technology. It could even include a sketch artist.
If you tried it, you would notice that Atom doesn't have a language definition for C#.
So, for the moment, at least, Atom is just a "Oh, someone did that. That's nice." I understand I could write or port a language definition, but I am not going to do so just to try out a new pet text editor.
What about people detaching the subway and bus systems? Of course attaching subways near islands could be pretty neat. Watch the fish out the window on your commute...
Also, to defrost the window. If it's fogging up in front of you, it doesn't matter what temperature you want the car, you have to have the blower on the windshield.
i'm not sure how credible the article you linked is, but even your own source doesn't support your assertion that salt was more valuable than gold
...particularly considering that gold is denser than salt (and pretty much everything else), so there would be a greater volume of salt traded for a given volume of gold.
As an intelligence-driven and a threat-focused national security organization with both intelligence and law enforcement responsibilities, the mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners.
What does it mean for CyanogenMod, now that Google has signed off on them distributing an OEM in the Oppo?
Do they have to follow all the Play Store non-open-source rules now?
I've been trawling the internet looking for real analysis, and can't find anything helpful.
My used car began to die, and I knew I would need to get a replacement.
I was looking for a "reliable old Honda" when the CARS bill passed (popularly "Cash for Clunkers"). This brought a new car down into used car price ranges. I wouldn't get the $4500 credit for buying a used car, only a new one, so I bought a reliable new Honda instead.
I knew I'd want to keep my car until there was a reliable, affordable all-electric, and I figured I have at least 15 years from date of purchase for some company to come out with one.

Yes, if someone tries to throw themself beneath your wheels it will still be possible to have an accident.
Reading your comment makes me think of those dashcam compilations of morons doing just that, presumably for insurance payout.
If they start to think that a rich automaker might be on the hook for insurance settlement, would that make them more or less inclined to try?
I don't understand. Could you use a car analogy?

I would really like a citation. This is intriguing, and I'm curious how you would know about it if they were anonymous.
