Agree, but if I were to guess I'd say the 'patented' part is around granting authorization to the charging adapter. (Cars should have a little dignity, get to know their drone first, in that regard).
Murder someone with a Bitcoin? It's difficult enough already to do murder someone with a physical coin. I've seen even practicing professional struggle with that. With a BitCoin the best I think that you could hope for is hurt feelings. However, if you're willing to jump on the band-wagon, you could use some BitCoin to obtain the services of a qualified murder.
I live in a developing country and there are plenty of repair options since a) nothing is regulated b) average wages are so low that it is economically viable to set up a repair shop. c) Close to China too, so parts are no problem.
It can be much cheaper than an official Apple repair. One ipad the LCD (not just the glass) was cracked. It looked like they replaced it with a 2nd tier part in terms of quality, but the device was basically bricked before they had at it. Its a good option when official repairs are a substantial portion of the cost of new, two generations later device.
The original iPhone had a resolution of 640x480 pixels. When the iPhone 4 came out, it had a 'retina' display. The number of pixels was doubled. Everything stayed the same size of course - it was just that text was a lot sharper. The 'point' system for the graphics display was still 640x480, but it was now possible to draw a pixel at a half point. Also, when packaging bitmap assets for an app, you could include the optimal sizes. The naming convention was:

So a 3x screen is (term coined by this Troughton-Smith feller) the next evolution of that
The increase in processed starchy foods and I would theorize perhaps too much reduction in saturated fats - which support male sex hormone production. In fact, while processed foods were eaten less, in favor of whole foods, including fattier meats, they were prepared with lard and tallow in place of hydrogenated vegetable oils. That fat is gone either way.
Ancel Keys showed that saturated fat wasn't good for heart health, but we may have gone overboard and/or replaced it favor of crappy overly-processed starchy foods
At just under half that altitude humans can survive a normal life-span. La Rinconada, Peru is 16,728ft elevation. A visitor would have to fly in to 10,000 feet (~ cabin pressure) and adjust before ascending.
I find most places Sydney and south a freakin' cold in winter. I think that's due to cultural/practical reasons rather than any chosen tech. Its warm enough not to need serious heating but cold enough to be uncomfortable.
The first-of-a-kind nature means supply chain complexity, too. “We have 15 main contractors. For the future we cannot have 15, we can have between 5 and 10,” said Leif Delp, project manager for Hywind. Expect costs to come down.
Bear in mind that it is an Oil & Gas company that decided to pursue this project.
This just in: Data Scientists develop a machine learning algorithm that can detect people, with 95.6% accuracy, who fake not knowing their zodiac sign, based on how vitriolic their slashdot comments are.
Participants were shown a Slashdot article and encouraged to comment. The process then threw them a curve-ball, allowing them to respond as anonymous cowards. Finally the participants were asked to disclose their Zodiac signs. The results were then fed in to a supervised AI.
Johan Virgo, when asked about the research project stated: "It sounds simple, however given that 99.9% of all Slashdot comments are asinine and belligerent, the challenge was to identify the subtle signature that implied faking ones Zodiac sign. This is something that machines can do much better than humans". Johan added that they were stunned to learn that their system also worked on trolls.

I wasn't imagining that they did it purposefully to allow upgrades. Just figured that this particular motherboard was economical and available in the correct quantities.
They're not flow-charts, but the PureData programming language is provides executable diagrams. Pure Data (or just 'Pd') is an open source visual programming language for multimedia. Its main distribution (aka 'Pd Vanilla') is developed by Miller Puckette. Pd-L2ork/Purr-Data is an alternative distribution (originally based on the now unmaintained Pd-Extended project), with a revamped GUI and many included external libraries.
Agree. That's why sustainable development goals aim to factor in externalities in the cost of goods.
In economics, an externality is the cost or benefit that affects a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit. Economists often urge governments to adopt policies that "internalize" an externality, so that costs and benefits will affect mainly parties who choose to incur them. ..Voluntary exchange is considered mutually beneficial to both parties involved, because buyers or sellers would not trade if either thought it detrimental to themselves. However, a transaction can cause additional effects on third parties. From the perspective of those affected, these effects may be negative (pollution from a factory), or positive (honey bees kept for honey that also pollinate neighboring crops). Neoclassical welfare economics asserts that, under plausible conditions, the existence of externalities will result in outcomes that are not socially optimal. Those who suffer from external costs do so involuntarily, whereas those who enjoy external benefits do so at no cost.
The only? C# runs on the desktop and the backend. And also on iOS and Android using Xamarin, which is owned by Microsoft. The same went for Kotlin, until recently when iOS fell off the radar. That's because RoboVM was bought by Xamarin.
Wind turbines reached grid parity in some areas of Europe in the mid-2000s, and in the US around the same time. Falling prices continue to drive the levelized cost down and it has been suggested that it has reached general grid parity in Europe in 2010, and will reach the same point in the US around 2016 due to an expected reduction in capital costs of about 12%.[25] Nevertheless, a significant amount of the wind power resource in North America remains above grid parity due to the long transmission distances involved.
If you want to run a Java program on iOS you need to jailbreak your phone first, because there is no supported and endorsed Java Virtual Machine for the platform. Early Apple terms and conditions prohibited running an interpreter, except for JavaScript in web views. Not sure where there terms and conditions are at now. Haven't tried for a while, so I'm not sure how stable these JVMs for iOS are. Even if they're rock solid, most folks don't jailbreak their iPhones, so there's not much of an audience to run them. Specialized uses perhaps.
As an alternative, for a while there was RoboVM which, rather than using an interpreter compiled to machine language using llvm. This allowed most Java programs to work, except those that use runtime byte-code instrumentation, where a new class is generated on the fly and emitted from the classloader. Something that is useful for implementing certain kinds of features, like proxying concrete classes to weave in AOP and so on.
RoboVM was a really fun project, however they were acquired by Xamarin, shortly after Xamarin were acquired by Microsoft, and consequently shut down. No statement was made, but it was presumably because Xamarin fills the same niche, and supporting a competing solution was not considered to expand the enough to offset the investment.
Free market? Unless we find a way to legislate the ownership of air at a molecular level, there will always be some resources that are communally owned. When the production of a good impacts upon these resources and the act of compensation is not reflected in the price, this hinders human progress. A country that embraces these practices will inevitably trail behind those that don't.
Just we we need government jurisdiction and infrastructure to manage the idea and agreement of private ownership (you can relate to the idea of private ownership, right?), we need market regulation to ensure that externalities are reflected in the price of goods. There is no organic chemical process that stipulates how a free market works. We don't just start with the ingredients and then an elemental process takes over. Trade is an artificial process that goes back to the dawn of civilization. It is based on trust, oversight and consequences for breaking contract. We collectively agree on terms of trade using government processes, and oversee them using legal and judicial processes.
Don't use false constructs as a front to campaign for unfair advantage - profits without compensation for externalities.

I have a certified certificate of sanity. Of course I had to write it myself. Who else could? The whole world is crazy and I'm the only sane one.
Not if we just murder everyone with bitcoin.

Too many compromises, too many security holes.

640K programming languages ought to be enough for anybody.
