I'm not sure if the statistics need to be revised all that much, given that it seems to be included in a broader term. The bigger issue might be that people formerly labelled as having Asperger's may be getting more generalized aid.
That it causes issues for people doesn't make it a disorder. Being left handed causes issues for a whole lot of people. Being homosexual causes issues for a lot of people. That doesn't make them disorders, as the problems lie in the society these people are living in.
You can hate Thomas Edison before reading the Oatmeal, and for things unrelated to Tesla. He was a monopolist in multiple fields, he tortured puppies for profit, and he's given very bad yet often quoted advice to generations of people. His actions have caused humanity a great deal of harm. The man was a cunt despite being viewed as a hero for nearly a century. Just for the record, I hated Edison long before the Oatmeal made a comic about him and Tesla
Google doesn't need to be sympathetic here. They are right. This law is batshit crazy, so even if Google was run by Adolf HItler, Thomas Edison, and Steve Jobs, they'd still be on the right side of this argument.
Are you using Steve Jobs as an example of someone who will tell you what you need to know, or an example of the dangers of only hearing what you want to hear?
I think the gerrymandering is generally done in a manner to protect incumbents, not a particular party. That's why the House has so many batshit crazy fringe politicians from both Republicans and Democrats.
What he's saying is that if Party B gets 51% of California's votes, they should get 28 votes instead of 55, with the remaining 27 votes going to Party A. That's assuming that the state is using a proportional vote. If it's a Congressional district vote, then we haven't been given enough information. However, what's very clear is that winning just over half the state and getting all of the electoral votes is unfair.
The retail price is set at whatever is most profitable for the retailer. This is a function of how much profit is made per unit and how many units will sell at a particular price. A change is cost will likely change the ideal price point. Usually, some but not all of the cost increases go into a higher price. So, if some new tax occurs that means Apple has to pay an extra dollar per unit, the price might go up 75 cents. The real numbers are going to vary depending on factors such as the price elasticity of demand, and be complicated further since electronics so often employ psychological price points
I don't think the BBC is technically part of the UK government. It's autonomous in a lot of ways, although it's been a while since the exact nature was explained to me.
Between this and the maple syrup theft, there is obviously a comic book supervillain on the loose. Thus, it's comic book news, which is news for nerds.
In order for trumping to occur, there has to be a conflict. Congress has codified a number of exceptions, but that doesn't mean that these are the only exceptions, or that their scope is limited to what is described in those statutes.
I would contend that the first sale doctrine is not limited to Congress's intentions, since it existed in precedents before it was codified with statutes.
I think you are ignoring other possible outcomes. One of the reasons to sell books cheaply in foreign markets is to keep local industries from arising in those markets, allowing them to keep control of highly profitable markets. If cheap editions stop being made in Thailand, Thai publishers will arrive and sell at prices Thais can afford, and then sell and eviscerate the competition in the US market, much to the benefit of American students.
Actually, 'piracy' and 'knockoffs' are the pure ruthlessness of real free market capitalism. Copyright is government intervention in the market through legal means with a nominally collectivist goal of promoting progress.
The logic they will use is that allowing these controls lets them to sell in different prices in different countries allows them to sell in India at prices Indians can afford while still staying in business. They will paint it as being charitable towards poor nations instead of gouging wealthy nations. It's a complete load of crap, but SCOTUS has accepted plenty of worse arguments on copyright.
They would get to see the concert for free IF the concert is successful enough. Let's say it takes 50 pre-ordered tickets to book a venue, so the first 50 to preorder get premium tickets. If the show gets only 100 people total, the 50 pre-order ticket holders have paid full price for admission. However, if 500 people pay to get in, those 50 can get refunds. There is thus a bit of an incentive for the dedicated fans that would buy pre-order tickets to get as many friends as they can to come see.

He can represent his district by voting on legislation. He doesn't belong as the head of a committee on a subject he's incompetent at.

He was expecting that nobody would have a problem since it is a positive for everyone, including Toshiba.
Or they could just use Android phones. Temper tantrums aren't a good way to run a business.
Except in this case, Seagate bought up Samsung's HDD division. They bought it with Seagate shares.
Samsung owns 9.6% of Seagate
I don't believe the CIA super-spy wrote the memo, so even if he has those tricks, it's probably not relevant here.

And the best way to find out is to level the playing field so those issues are no longer factors.

I'm not a big fan of Greek food anyway.
