The American manufacturers aren't going to come in and sell them at the lower price. All that's being done is lower the demand after raising the prices. This is going to put a lot more people who were installing the panels out of work than the number of people who ever going to be employed making them. There are 10,000s people in the US working to install panels and that work can't be outsourced to any other country. Who cares where the panels come from? The cheaper they are, the more projects (residential and industrial) will become viable and started meaning more people employed.
Any of the countries that have nuclear weapons could build something like this. It wouldn't need to have the extended range. Just use a series of ships to drop off the drone while in motion. The drone could move to another location a day away. Another ship stops in what appears to let the crew some recreational swimming or hauling in a net while the drone is loaded aboard. Do that a couple more times and you can't easily trace where the drone comes from. There's more than one country with nuclear warheads that the US has ticked off. And Trump keeps adding to the list.
You're assuming that it's going to be moving fast and easy to pick up. It could move extremely slow and sit quietly somewhere on the route waiting for a signal. Or it doesn't have to travel all of the way on it's own. Just because it can travel 6000 miles doesn't mean that it will. Imagine a ship or submarine on the way to Cuba passes Florida and quietly slips something into the water (via the hull in the case of the ship) during the night. From there the drone can slowly make it's way stealthily to it's target.
Exploding one in the middle of Pearl Harbor would take out any ships there, the docks, and any capability the US has of sending ships out from there for a long time. They'll be sending their naval ships out of California. Have a couple of extra going to San Diego and the large ports on the East Coast and you severely cripple the Navy.
Better Amazon than a sports stadium. But I'd rather have the money spent on infrastructure and then businesses choose based on the infrastructure. That way the whole population benefits from the improved roads, transit, education, water, parks, etc. Each city will concentrate on different things.
Ottawa itself doesn't have the population but with the city across the river, Gatineau, it passes the threshold. The two cities are known as the National Capital Region. If the Ottawa River wasn't the boundary between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec the two cities would probably be one city. Many people in one city work and live in the other. Ottawa also has a history of high-tech businesses. Many business are smaller now but Nortel and JDS Uniphase used to have a big presence in the city so we can handle large high-tech companies.
It only plays what the big music producers want to push onto the public and make popular that week. Go online and discover some independent (indie) bands that haven't sold their souls to get big record deals and can make songs/albums how they want to. The musicians craft is alive and well but it won't be found on the FM dial or on a top ten list.
Should be obvious because the two entities have two, conflicting goals. The telecom wants people to sign up to one of the fastest connection with no limits. They aren't going to do that by making the slower connections look like good deals in comparison to the package they wish to sell.
The municipal network wants to get as many people connected as possible so it makes sense for them to be charging less for the lower speed connections. All they care about is making enough money back to maintain and make the necessary improvements to the network.
One of the grocery stores I go to stopped taking cash at the self-serve checkouts last summer. There were so many people that couldn't read the signs that they had to "upgrade" the software so that you have to answer a question at the start of the transaction saying that you won't be using cash. This means that you can't just start scanning your groceries like before. Even now people still click on "Yes" that they understand that they can't use cash and then try to pay using cash at the end.
For anything simple self-checkouts could make things faster but once you start doing anything different from the menu then some people are going to slow the system down. I'm thinking things like swapping onion rings for fries in a combo or changing an English muffin for a bagel in a sandwich.
Besides, the CEO is missing the primary reason for the people taking the orders. While he thinks it is to input orders into the system, it isn't. It may be a large part of their job, the main reason for their being their is to sell you the upgrades that are mostly profit. A little statement asking you if you want to upsize your meal isn't going to be as good as a person.
So the apps you get are smaller individually than if you downloaded them to iTunes first and transferred them to the device, and take up less space on the device.
But each device specific app that I download would not be smaller than half of the app I download in iTunes so I'm still pulling down more bytes. Plus I still have to actually go to both devices and do something to start the update process. Right now I just update the apps in iTunes and the next time I connect the device to charge it gets backed and any new apps, podcasts, and music gets put on it.
The system works very well for me and may not for others. But this is just a continuation from Apple of forcing people to work in the one workflow that they want people to work in. They've been doing it with their interface. They've been doing it with the bigger phones because nobody wants to use a phone one-handed anymore!/sarcasm When Steve Jobs was around there were a number of ways you could do your tasks and they were simple. That methodology has gone away from the products and they aren't as nice to use because of it.
I used to use Apple products because I really liked using them. Now I use them because I haven't found anything better out there. I think that there are a lot of people to think like I do and if a company does come along that makes products that are fun to use again then Apple is in trouble.
Because there's nothing on the latest versions of macOS and iOS worth updating for at least for me. So if I do install them I'll just have slower systems due to the extra bloat and apps from Apple that don't work as well.
I'm avoiding moving onto iTunes 12.7 because they took out the apps in an incredibly stupid move. I have iOS apps installed on my iPhone and iPad so I'll be downloading the app twice instead of once to my Mac and syncing it to my devices. So there's no way I'm going to High Sierra while iTunes is so fucked.
And the Music app keeps getting more screwed up with each release. I haven't played around with iOS 11 but iOS keeps getting worse. 9 to 10 was terrible for handling notifications on the lock screen. They added a step or two in order to mark a reminder as completed. Just a bunch of little things like that which make the experience worse and I hate to see what they've done in 11. But since there's nothing that they've added that interests me all that it will do is slow down my devices.
I'd love for them to just put a patch out for Sierra and iOS 10.
You can't create an open source x64 chip because you would need to license the instruction sets (x86, SSE, x86_64,...) from Intel and AMD, as they have cross licensed them from each other.
The best way to approach it would be to create a new processor (along with motherboard because it would need a new socket) running it's own instruction set. Then have the open source operating systems move over and use virtual machines to run Windows, Mac, etc. Even better would be to build something like Rosetta from Apple when they moved from PowerPC to Intel which ran the apps seamlessly together.
I was wondering if they were going to tie it into the GPS to make sure that you were actually at a traffic light or stop sign if you were stopped and not waiting to merge into traffic as you are going on/coming off the highway. Or stopped to let an emergency vehicle by or stopped for a school bus when the whole point is to have your attention looking out for pedestrians.

I put my images on a temporary web page, had the Internet Archive index the page, and then deleted it.

Said no Canadian ever.
I doubt the companies are going to be doing that as they would need vastly more servers to perform the computations.

For Canadian indie music check out CBC Radio 3.

Get a new president. Best way to survive a nuclear blast is to not have one.
is that they are turning on the analog FM for people just when countries are turning it off and switching to digital FM. /s

Because you can afford a truck.
