Also, the very fact of requiring ID can itsself bias an election. Those documents often aren't held by the poorest in society - they require money for processing fees, and people who can't afford a car aren't going to get a driving license. A measure to prevent vote fraud may - inadvertently or deliberately - selectively exclude part of the electorate.
Opportunity cost. It's not enough to make a profit: You need to make enough of a profit to support yourself. Fixing up cars to sell is fine as a hobby, but can you get, fix and sell them fast enough and at high enough margin to pay the rent? Some can, but it needs more than mechanical ability - it needs salesmanship, financial ability, an investment in time that precludes other employment. Things that make it risky.
More accurately: Crime is a high-risk career. If you're good at it, the pay is very good. Even just common burglary you can make thousands in one day's work. If you're not good at it though, you make nothing at all and end up in prison.
This wasn't a takedown by the usual UK police. It was by the City of London police. Entirely different, independant organisation. PIPCU was only established last month, so they are working fast.
Decentralisation for DNS is impossible. Because the names are human-meaningful, some names are going to be worth a lot more than others. That means some sort of authority has to exist to determine who gets what name.
A decentralised DNS database is achieveable, but someone still needs to make that decision. The only way around it would be to make the DNS names meaningless to humans, which defeats the purpose.
The request was from the City of London Police, not the regular metropolitan London police. The City of London is effectively a tiny semi-independant country embedded within London, in much the same way as Vatican City is a tiny semi-independant country embedded within Rome. The City of London is mostly governed by corporate interests - mostly financial, but media too. There's no secret backroom conspiracy in this - that is openly how it is run, entirely legal because the City of London is largely outside the authority of the UK government proper for historical reasons. So this is a legitimate message from the City of London Police, but the City of London Police are representing those competing commercial services because those services are actually their constituents.
And the pedo-hunts. The news loves a good pedophile story, and makes sure to scare parents by focusing attention every time one is caught. As a result the default position now is to assume that every adult male is a potential child molester until proven otherwise, even though child sexual abuse is actually an exceptionally rare crime.
There's an exception in fields where a persons worth is determined by the skill relative to others in the same profession. In those markets, simply increasing supply of workers doesn't drive wages down, because being among 'the best' is always worth higher pay - no matter how many are almost-as-good. A good example of this is sports: The top athletes make huge amounts of money, because in competition coming second place isn't worth much.
The short science fiction one, in which increasing automation leads to an employment crisis so severe most of the population are forced to live in robotically-constructed slums.
To clear up the role: DVI came first. An unencrypted digital video link designed to replace VGA as a computer-to-monitor interface, not for consumer electronics. This is why it didn't use encryption or carry audio. HDCP was then introduced as an encryption-and-authentication to DVI, adding the DRM. Finally, HDMI was introduced. A new physical connector more CE-friendly (No super-delicate pins), but electrically the same as DVI. While electrically compatible, it also requires support for HDCP under the licensing terms - a feature optional on DVI ports.
And to who? There are only two companies left for high-performance graphics, and neither is particularly good. Same as there are only two companies left for high-performance x86 processors.
The waiting time can be a bit of an issue, and a lot of the hospitals are overloaded due to meddling by government officials who have no notion of what it's actually like at ground level, but even through that it still manages to do a very good job of keeping the population alive and healthy. We're beating the US on every health metric worth considering (Except, oddly, cancer survival rate), and at a substantially lower per-capita spending.
It's a cooling system. If it leaks, it starts spraying radioactive high-pressure water around. I imagine the off switch is a big red button on the wall.

Page says the 3D part is optional - you can leave it off to save gates, if you don't need the acceleration.
Embedded hardware designs. This doesn't get it's own FPGA - it shares an FPGA with whatever else the application requires.
This isn't aimed for plugging in to a PC. It's for embedded devices.
And the NSA is working to compromise it, as recent leaks revealed.
The US government isn't a monolith. Different departments within it are often working at cross-purposes, or even in open opposition.

It's both.

That was fast.

The commerce clause can be interpreted widely enough to give the federal government more-or-less any power at all though.

It also takes luck, and risk. Starting a business can be the path to great fortune - or to bankruptcy.
Yes. I was at work, with three minutes to go until leaving. No time to google it up.
That's the one I was thinking of.
The short science fiction one, in which increasing automation leads to an employment crisis so severe most of the population are forced to live in robotically-constructed slums.
I forget the title.
You know the one.

That's the highest resolution source I could find. Postage-stamp.
It works if you switch the ordering:
Good software development is to lego development as a chemist is to a cook.

The little cover is called a 'Molly guard.'
Molly was the daughter of the inventor. The name is quite literal: They were invented to guard switches from Molly.
