At least you know that they own the classical media. But on Facebook, you don't get told that this is not just a rumor, but a paid for campaign to influence your views, economical and political decisions.
The elite still gets away with spreading their rumors. That's the whole point of Mr. Plattner's interview. Now they don't bribe the classical media, now they pay software companies to operate social bots.
You could look at the price of gold in the same time, and you will see a much larger fluctuation. If you take the value of the dollar from 1918, and you calculate the Federal Interest Rate into it from year to year, the dollar is amazingly stable. The interest rate for gold is nil. No one will pay you gold for being able to hold onto your gold coins for some time. Instead, they will charge you a deposit fee.
It's quite easy. Look where the most photons with an energy of 2 eV to 5 eV come from. and then head in that direction. You'll probably find a large, quite hot (2000 K - 25000 K) ball of mainly hydrogen there.
(Or, for the layman: Go into the direction of the visible lights.)
I didn't. I just don't see any sense in renaming the hours to create the illusion of being able to sleep one hour longer in the morning. Because permanent Daylight savings time is nothing else. Just because I call it 7 o'clock and not 6 o'clock, I still have to get up six hours before Noon.
Permanent Daylight savings time is nothing else than moving your time zones by one, or renaming 12 o'clock into 1 o'clock. In the end, it's the same with another name. Why not just get up one hour early? That's exactly what "permanent Daylight savings time" means.
As a matter of fact, I have to keep even older versions around (WinXP, Win2000), because some of the applications are not released for anything later. Yes, you could argue, that the applications themself have to be replaced, but the applications in turn work with hardware, that would have to be replaced too, as for instance their user interface requires Internet Explorer 6 to administer. The problem with the hardware is that it is ubiquituous, and we would have to replace them all at once in several buildings at the campus. It also means that we have to move everything in a single maintenance window. And that means that we need to have enough staffing for that single maintenance window to finish on time.
As long as the old hardware runs fine, and the new hardware doesn't offer any interesting new features, and we can totally separate the resources (servers, network etc.pp.) needed for the administration of the old hardware from anything else in the campus, there is no compelling reason to do this.
To which Henri Poincaré rightly said: To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection. (La Science et l'Hypothèse, 1901).
Idea fragmentation startet at least in the 18th century, when the Age of the Polymath came to an end. Since then, it became impossible to study every subject deeply enough to hold a meaningful conversation with a specialist of each of the Sciences and Arts. Now, even reading all articles of a single language like English, German or French in Wikipedia takes more time than a human lives on Earth.
And thus Poland is part of Central Europe. So what?
And while the exact boundaries of Central Europe are somewhat disputed (sometimes the Benelux countries are part of it, sometimes not. Sometimes Belarus, Ukraina and Romania are included, sometimes not etc.pp.), the core (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary) is basicly the same.
I took another look at the map the article is using. Apparently, it's a real time map, and the screen shot of the !Forbes article was taken at 16:00 UTC, which means Evening rush hour in Europe, while in the U.S., the day has just begun. If you look at the map right now (6:00 UTC), Europe looks fine (just Eastern Poland and Central Spain with moderate air quality, everything else good), while in the U.S., most of the East Coast, Appalachia and the Midwest has moderate and partly unsafe for special groups air quality, same in California and in some of the other large population centers. Only the more sparsely populated areas are fine.
That's correct. Net Neutrality does not play well with realtime communications. That's why you often have to buy a fat pipe to get at least some near-realtime capabilities. A normal phone conversation uses 64 kbit/s. Even with the IP overhead, you should be able to have 100 parallel crystal clear phone conversations on a 10 Mbit/sec line. In reality, you will need a 10 Mbit/sec line to have even one VoIP-conversation that works ok.
This is plainly wrong. Too many little jokes require at least some scientific background, and the show tries to be scientificially correct. The formulae at the whiteboards actually make sense and really belong to quantum physics or astronomical problems. Yes, non-science people get their fair share of the usual sitcom jokes for laughing at, but there is a second layer which is not for them, but for us nerds and geeks.
Actually, I enjoyed school for most of the time, despite wearing glasses. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I was passable at sports and even won the occasional fight on the school yard.
This is already a limited view on Net Neutrality, some kind of Net Neutrality Light, tailored to solve a specific problem.
In the pure meaning of the word, Net Neutrality means: The Net is just a carrier, and it carries whatever you throw at it, each packet the same as the next. It is totally agnostic to any special properties of the packet as long as the packet is syntactically and logically correct.
Not even then. Look at lions and cheetahs! The cheetah is the definitive speed king, hunting down prey at up to 80 mph. The lion is comparatively slow, with 25 mph as an absolute top speed.
But who gets the prey? The "lion share" goes to the lion, as the lion will just sit at the sidelines waiting for the cheetah to succeed. And then it will walk over slowly to the dead prey, push the cheetah aside and feed on the prey the cheetah hunted down. Only the remainings are for the cheetah. Laziness wins once again.
Tomorrow, that slightly faster predator will be in dire need of more energy than all the other predators in its proximity.Thus it will have to hunt more and to hunt longer, and be more exhausted everyday. It will be the first one to die as soon as the next dry spell will kill off most of the grass and drive the grazing animals in other regions.
They actually do. Low metabolism rate means that you run on less energy, which in general is a very advantageous trait except for the rare cases when you really gain something from being as fast as possible. Most of the time, being fast enough is totally sufficient.
There is the old saying that Better is the enemy of Good. It often ignores the corollary: Good Enough is a much more dangerous enemy of Good. This paper points out, that all other things equal, the one who gets by while being lazy has an advantage compared with the one being active all the time.
It still runs afoul of net neutrality. It still filters packets according to arbitrary criteria (in this case, coming from or going to the Fire Department).
Net Neutrality means: Each packet is created equal, and has to be handled equally. And that includes independency of source and target of the packet.
The tradition might exist everywhere else, but two countries use 55%, more than half of the world's gold supply for bride's gifts. Yes, they are the most popoulos countries of the world, but even together, they only have about 30% of the world's population. It means, that on average, a bride in India or China has six times more gold than everyone else -- and that already includes the 15% of the world's gold stored in the diverse capital reserves of the central banks.

Why the Subjunctive? Checkpoint Firewall for instance is widely deployed in Germany and is made in Israel.

A witty saying is a thought condensed to the bare maximum.
Skepticism is good. Faith is not.

Central Europe fares worst, with the UK, France, and Germany not far behind.
I wonder where Germany is. Apparently, it's not in Central Europe.
You still have the monopoly on those 18 titles. You are just not a large publisher.
