This is an attempt by the government to defy the principle of supply and demand. It will fail because people will find a way. You have people complaining that tickets are too expensive and others complaining that tickets sell out too fast. You can't fix both problems in a free market.
Well it's good then that we don't live in a libertarian fantasy land, and that there is still at least a nod to social equality.
I think we should look ahead to the day when anyone trying to game a stock market is taken outside, stripped naked, and their testicles are plugged into a car battery, but that's just me.
That would be everyone. The days of farmers buying futures to protect their crops are in the past.
By today's taxonomy, birds ARE dinosaurs, not descendants of dinosaurs. But that would make the story less sensational. Besides, people need to hold onto their incorrect schooling that says that all dinosaurs were just huge lizards, even though the two have little to do with each other.
One thing that people keep forgetting is that Trump did not really mean anything he said during the campaign, and doesn't mean anything that he says now. Please quit thinking that he'll actually do any of these things. Once he takes office, there will be a constant parade of powerful republicans setting his policies and agendas, while he gets to appear on TV and distract from what they are really doing. He DOES NOT CARE about America or Americans or actually doing anything good as president. He only care about the attention.
If you and others like you dismiss him as a bigot you'll get more nasty surprises at the ballot box as folks like me give up on liberal socialism that feels like lip service and turn to guys like Trump to protect our jobs.
You think Trump and the Republican legislature are going to do anything other than royally FUCK the middle class in the next 4 years? You are truly deluded. I dare you to come back here when his term is over and admit how wrong you were.
It's a satire of the hippy movement. That is, the author is making fun of anyone who could find any deep meaning in the ridiculous views and obvious Christlike suffering of the protagonist. The smile at the end? Ah, I guess some people don't get it. Heinlein was laughing all the way to the grave with this one.
This is going to be four years of all out war, as the few rational states left in the union use every legal means at their disposal to try to keep the insanity in check. Personally, I don't think there's any hope for this country, but I know I'll survive since I'm in California, and all my friends are either in Illinois or New York. The rest of the country can choke on their idiocy.
She exported fracking the world as Secretary of State. She waged war on Libya and Syria to keep the supply of energy moving. She was going to continue in the fine tradition of Obama - who was a bigger oil man than Bush and Cheney combined.
That's the problem with all the whining and bitching from Dems and the media, before the election, now, and after Trump takes the oath of office - every criticism you can make of Trump applies to Hillary Clinton, as much if not more so. The only "difference" here is that Hillary would utter the occasional platitude that we need to do something about climate change, while continuing to drill for more and more oil, and mine for more and more coal.
Excuse me, but the story isn't about Hillary. She has NOTHING to do with this decision. You should stop trying to avoid the issues.
If things keep going this way, I'm all for the UN coming in and setting up a new provisional government. This insanity has to come to an end some way.
I get the no fuel and I get the very little force but I can't imagine the implications for it.
A slow, steady thrust. In the vacuum of space, there's no thrust wasted to keep you at speed, like flying in the atmosphere. Over time, even a tiny thrust can build you up to phenomenal speeds. Just make sure you turn your engine around and start to slow down at the halfway point of your journey.
Here's the thing people that don't really understand the physics don't get. Mass is energy energy is mass. If you're throwing photons out the back that you are creating then you are ejecting mass While a photon rocket is efficient in terms of mass it's actually terrible in terms of the energy required to accelerate something.
Argh. More people who think they understand physics without ever having studied it.
Light does NOT have mass. But it does have momentum. And that momentum is what can be used to produce force.
But how can it have momentum without having mass? To understand that, STUDY PHYSICS. I mean the hard mathy stuff, not the hand wavey stuff.
The computers look good when displayed in the Apple Store and in advertising because they don't have any dongles plugged into them. So they appeal to Jony Ive's sense of elegant design. It's only when you buy one and need to use it in the real world, interfacing to the gear you have, that Jony's sleek lightweight machine is encumbered with dongles and the like, because having a star designer in control of everything seems to mean function now comes second to form. Do the engineers get a look in?
The thing you are missing is that YOU may need those dongles, but the average user will not. My wife, a professional writer, has an older MacBook Pro. She does not use an external monitor or hard drive. She has no USB devices plugged into it. When she needs to transfer files, drop box works perfectly well.
People can complain all they want, but the fact is that most users just need a simple laptop, and this new design is quite good.
For everyone in froth mode, google the following: SCSI, USB, Optical Drive, BlueTooth Keyboard, Firewire, Ethernet, Mouse, Graphical Interface, etc. etc. From the arguments that function keys are better for word processing because a mouse take a hand off the keyboard, to where's the PS/2 port since no one sells USB keyboards, Apple has ALWAYS been the first (big player) to adopt new technology. And people ALWAYS spend a year complaining, until Dell etc. follow suit and becomes common place.
So rage away, but look back in a year and see if it was really worth it.
A millionaire sued another millionaire and millions changed hands. Everyone is scum in this situation. Plaintiff, defendant, and lawyers. Just an average day in America.
Schiller's subtext is this: "We believe the vast, vast majority of people taking photos are doing so with their iPhones. We want to encourage that behavior and make any other camera obsolete."
The majority of users never use the slot. I'm glad it's gone. Complete waste for me. And yes I have an Olympus DSLR for photography, and I need a card reader dongle anyway. I'm glad to hear that cameras are going wireless. Might be time for a new SLR.
I'm a guy that is full in the Apple ecosystem and I make money programming for apple devices.
You do realize that coders are small percentage of professional users. Writers, doctors, lawyers all use these machines, and they are all professional users. Sorry, but the changes are in the right direction for the majority of professional users.
Here is a thought to all you people complaining about Apple's decision making on their products... DON'T BUY IT.
The only way to get Apple to listen, is to vote with your dollars. If you buy their products, you prove them right.
But I love the new machine, and will definitely buy one later this year. The changes are only positive for anything that my wife or I use our Macs for. Sorry to burst your rage bubble.
Its not about the 'lugging it around'; its not even about the cost; it's about the sheer blind arrogance and idiocy of making a tool less useful. The 'pro' series stuff is supposed to be a TOOL for PROFESSIONALS.
Tools are supposed to be functional. When they are less functional for absolutely no good reason, people who use them get pissed.
Nobody thought that macbook pro was too big, nobody wanted it thinner. Nobody wanted them to remove the sd card.
Meanwhile apple comes out with this nonsense...
Froth all you want, but these will sell very well. Professional does not equal IT professional. My wife, a professional writer and game coder would absolutely love this machine, and we'll probably get one when we upgrade later this year. None of the changes will affect her negatively, only positively.
Twitter is a cesspool of corporate and political propaganda, self-righteous indignation, and minor celebrities trying to make a name for themselves. Why does anybody listen to the crap these people post?
"Still, it's a normal design choice for a decidedly Pro-oriented device since there's no reason a prospective consumer wouldn't spend a few dollars extra cash for a dongle after spending upwards of $2,399."
I guess that story isn't as good since it doesn't make as many Apple haters foam at the mouth.

Make $196m illegally. Pay $88m fine. That's $88m profit. What's the incentive to stop doing these things again?

So Trump would prefer using Americans as slave labor over using Asians and taking the tax burden off the poor billionaires. Thanks!

We need to do something about trade where works rights are not in place.
Like Walmart?

Same can be said about owners of Rolex watches. So make sure you go out and buy one.
that's you're best bet. Just keep writing software. The best way to learn is by doing.
Please, if you don't have an answer to the question, then just STFU. One of my pet peeves.
Twitter is a cesspool of corporate and political propaganda, self-righteous indignation, and minor celebrities trying to make a name for themselves. Why does anybody listen to the crap these people post?
Because the "common man" still has the vote.

I continue to maintain that Solutionists, whether of the Millennial variety or not, have not read enough Dystopian '60s and '70s science fiction.
Screw that. I go back to Doc Smith when a "computer" was a guy skilled with a slide rule. Off lawn get.
