Obviously he's talking about variable costs, marginal costs, and not including fixed costs. He's not wrong. He's not particularly right either, but he's not wrong.
My wife is Taiwanese... so Taiwan econ stuff actually somewhat resonates with me. HTC is going down the tubes., Now, you have a vicious cycle... losing money, so lets do desperate stuff, that alienates more people, so we get more desperate...
Rolls Royce got sold to BMW. They also had Rover group, including Mini and Land Rover, but have since sold off Land Rover. Bentley split off from Rolls Royce to Audi. Sterling (anyone remember them?) got sold many years ago to Honda. Aston Martin, and Jaguar got sold to Ford, though they've since divested. Vauxhall was always a part of GM to me, though recently sold to Peugot-Citroen. Lotus a part of Chinese Geely (which also owns Volvo)
Morgan, Caterham, AC (yay, AC ace) and McLaren all still make cars. All small manufacturers though.
First, 44 states oppose it, including the state (Kansas) that the head of the initiative is from. 44 states is a good blue/red balance.
You do realize how the city thing actually hurts liberals/Democrats. There is a small state bias in the electoral college. Find somewhere that does Electoral College Elector vs Voter ratios and you'll see Red states with most of the helpful ratios and Blue states with some of the most harmful. The high concentration of Democrats in a small area also makes them easy to gerrymander. Austin TX is probably the best example - their solid blue cores are added to solid red suburban districts to make sure fewer Democratic Texan Congresscritters.
That's even ignoring that DC has "Taxation without Representation" but will never get a congressional seat because they're too solidly Democratic for a Republican congress to let them in.
Democrats have headwinds. Republicans tailwinds. That's partly the Dems' fault - too much staring at the Presidency, not enough time looking at the system and downballot offices and how winning those affects fair districting.
Illinois doesn't have a voter ID law. DMV always asks you if you want to sign up, with no other documents than what a stateID needs. Granted, I may be grandfathered in from before REALID laws came in, but it's a very simple process for us.
And as far as your sig goes, yeah, imagine a world where Internet Explorer on a Mac was the best Mac browser out there. Weird but true.
1) it's more than 15%. 2) iOS is used by higher value targets. A lot of this came to light when a company strung 3 vulnerabilities together to make a rootkit dropper. The cost was about half a million to attack one dissident.
Parenting is a complex decision based on logic, love, and reptilian need (did a neanderthal ever say "i need to get humping, replacement rate and all that"). You're basically asking "i can only view this complex decision along these lines... please explain your reasoning"... I think this is a "if you need to ask you might not understand the answer" question.
That, and "hey you get new features". We've gotten spoiled for Apple updates for free. They spend money coding new features, testing them, and you get them on your existing phone for free. Not only do people bitch about "oh, we're not paid for the beta" but we have expectations we get everything. You get people complaining that "apple as feature X for the iphone 7 but my 6 doesn't get it"... as if they can add better hardware through the beta program.
I can't get a fridge update that makes it faster. I can't get a socket wrench update that makes it easier to turn. But i have lots of expectations for a free update to my phone that adds features.
their point was - you're doing Apple/Google's QA work for them, for free. The inference that this qa work should be compensated for.
That said, i disagree with their anger. If you don't want the beta, don't install it. it won't randomly end up on your device. You know you're not getting paid, just do you want to spend the effort to install it and deal with bugs to see new features.
"I'll agree that corporations are people when one is tried and executed in Texas" or something like that. Corporations have many of the rights and few of the responsibilities of people.
I mean, i know they are... i saw them years ago as an opening act... So here we have Tesla the car company getting into the music business. Isn't this why Apple Corps records sued Apple? Trademark?
I find it interesting that people drop all pretext of The Perfection of The Market when it comes to automation and elimination of jobs. In many other market situations, it's "hey it's the magic of the market, cheers huzzah!!!". But not for eliminated jobs for some reason...
Job gets eliminated. Do we think "this employee took a rational view of their skillset, jobs available to them, and made the best risk/reward choice they had". No, it's "that's a sucky job, we're doing you a favor by eliminating your paycheck". Somehow we pretend this person wasn't thinking what's the best job in the market for them, but... doing us a favor? "yes, i'll suck down coal dust, not for my family, not because it's the only job that pays enough for my kids go to college while i slowly kill their parent, but just because im doing this for the nice Capitalist waiting for the robots to take over my job"
The Slants are Asian Americans. They're aware of the current disparaging connotation and are used it to try to overcome it.
Planet Money had a great podcast episode on this. One of the biggest parts for the Slants was when RBG said "hey, what if they want to take this word back"
We can look at the top end of this, and maybe we forget about the fact that non-competes have been exploding in all industries, including a (paywall) sub sandwich maker. So we erode worker rights by hammering on unions, and now we take even more rights by preventing people from staying in the same career.

Bye Bye htc, sadly.
Still missing a tvOS one.
They all got sold...

Hey, we have to stop sheet music sales... it's going to ruin all music... and player pianos too!

OP used a bad term. Didn't mean rare as in fewer, but meant rare as in dearer. Kind of like "rare" diamonds... they're not really rare, just dear.
A remotely exploitable jailbreak is the worst security hole you could think of. you actually don't want this.

Wouldn't this be fraud? Punishable by jail? Well, if we actually jailed non-brown people the way we jail brown people...
Middle clicking a link no longer works. It's so javascript dependent that middle clicking on a link doesn't work the way you expect it.
then they'll really be hurtin'
Yes. That's pretty much my point.

And apple corps and apple computer are referencing the same fruit. It's not the origin that matters, but the potential for confusion.

This was a Homicide episode... I like D'Onofrio, and it really hit me. I can't imagine this in real life. Absolutely horrible.

For me it's not so much the muslin, but the Linen suits he's been promoting....
