There are 17 members in the US intelligence community. Not all of them perform intelligence gathering as this one would however there is the CIA and the DIA (Defence Intelligence Agency). I left out the FBI because it is supposed to be national but if this new private network of spies is true then they would probably work within the US too. And there would probably be some overlap with the NSA so you would be looking at it competing with possibly four departments.
They have years to build up their online presence or for one of the local companies to try and fill the void left by not having Amazon. But it seems like they have sitting back just waiting for Amazon to come.
If I had been running a chain down there I would have been looking at the best practices from around the world and adapting them to my situation. Waiting for the biggest competition to announce their expansion before building up my business is just plain stupid.
That's more investigation into a story than they do if the topic covers politics. Maybe the editor should be promoted to cover those stories instead and get some real news shown.
(Yes, I'm aware it's a decision made at the corporate level and even if they did any investigation it wouldn't hit the airwaves. Management would quickly kill any initiative shown or have them fired to be replaced by a lackey who says what they are told to say.)
Re-read the parent again. It says that the money would be split according to usage of the websites which is what you want. It's not micro transactions but it's not needed. A simple percentage of page hits would be fair enough to split up the monthly fee as long as they didn't create pages that pop out as part of the articles.
The Guardian doesn't have a paywall or ads (just a few paid articles down near the bottom). They ask for either a one-time or on-going monthly contribution. If you don't give anything then they just keep the request at the bottom of articles but don't restrict your access. So if you think $15/month is too much you could make it $10/month or just $20 one time.
And you can flog it for 50 more hopefully. Not every page I load is worth me paying for it.
The NYT site allows you to view 10 free articles a month. And that system works fine when you always know that the link you click on is going to take you to their site. But sometimes the article doesn't say where the link goes to but just has a heading and you forget to look or, worse, the link uses a URL shortener so that you can't tell where you end up.
In that case you just lose a free view but imagine if hitting those pages started to cost you money. And how do you know how much a page is going to cost before you go there? A free and open web is the only way. You may be willing to pay a bit every month to view the pages you want but want about the poor of the world? Do you think micropayment will really stay with sites like news sites?
I like how the Guardian newspaper has handled their site. Everything is available. There is a row of paid articles that are well marked as such near the bottom of a few pages but no other ads. At the bottom of articles they ask you to contribute. If you don't nothing happens. There's no limit to the number of articles you can see.
It has always been a dangerous situation. Even without the nuclear weapons there was always the threat of a conventional war in which North Korea has enough conventional artillery near the DMZ to kill tens of thousands in South Korea in the first day alone.
But then for the US the only thing that matters is what happens to the US. The vast majority of Americans only ever talk about their casualties from the latest Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It's rare to hear an American talk about the people killed on both sides, mostly civilians. The US had the sympathy of the world after the 9/11 attacks and have thrown it away through the invasions and attitude they have shown towards people that are different to them. That has only reinforced the cycle of hatred in the world. Not caring about the innocent victims in North Korea, and surrounding area, with the president wanting a military solution is just another example.
Would have been nice to install it on a bunch of servers that weren't being used for anything or as test environments at a previous job were I was a system administrator. Probably could have had it mining on 20 or so servers in the data centre. Heck I was trying to save energy by turning my servers off since there was no use for them but the other people I was sharing the rack with kept turning them on. Nobody would have known if I installed something. While not ideal for mining I wouldn't care since I wouldn't be paying for the electricity.
Unfortunately a lot of rail has been pulled up in North America. I've thought that the best thing to do is to have rail transport goods between large and medium-sized cities and then use trucks to make the local deliveries and to the smaller cities, towns, and rural areas. It would make the roads safer, lengthen the lives of highways due to the decrease in truck traffic, and reduce pollution (especially around large cities).
This would mean a better fit for electric trucks because they would be shorter runs instead of cross-country trips. Trucks would either be collecting containers and taking them to the train yard or making deliveries from there.
When dealing with a distributor such as a large chain store it is especially important that only the container would be going back to the warehouse and not the truck or trailer. The container would most likely be empty, or contain very little, and would not add much to the pollution emitted by a train compared to a truck taking the container back.
For this to happen the railroads would have to expand their networks and improve their services. In addition passenger services would most likely have to be moved over to their own lines. I think it would be worth it though. I've come out of Toronto at night and the highway is mostly trucks going to the same places. It just seems stupid to have all of those people in all of those trucks driving to the same place. Half of the number of drivers could make the same number of deliveries and do it during the day if the trailers were carried by train over the long distance.
The batteries were sitting around waiting for cars to be built so why not put them to use instead. By the time that car production gets ramped up more batteries will have been made.
It's enacting the will of the people. The people who have a lot of money to throw at politician campaign fundraising. If you aren't one of those people then the government is probably not going to listen to you. And then it's probably a case of you were saying what they wanted to hear rather than them valuing your expertise.
In the last 50 or 60 years we've selectively bred chickens and turkeys so that they grow much faster than they used to. The turkeys the article is talking about would be taking the same amount of time in each case but today's turkey would be approximately twice the weight. It isn't the case of just letting the birds live longer so they can get bigger. In addition they probably eat less feed through a combination of finding better food and selecting animals that utilize the food better.
Fossil fuel plants, other plants that burn material, nuclear fission plants, and the proposed fusion plants all take water, heat it up so that it's a vapour, and run it through turbines. In some places the use the remaining energy to heat buildings and heat water. But for the most part it's so inefficient to boil water just to let the vapour turn a turbine. What we really need is to find a better way to turn the heat from these sources into electricity.
Meanwhile in Canada Loblaws (the largest groceries chain and drug store chain) ordered 25. Earlier this month (November 2017) they displayed the all-electric class 8 truck delivered from BYD. Seems like Walmart is behind and so is Tesla.
Though the truck from BYD doesn't have the range of the Tesla truck it seems to be aimed for local deliveries instead of the long-haul market.
Just because my needs are for a small screen phone I don't want to be punished by having last years technology in my new phone. It's bad enough that they don't include all of the features in the SE so that it doesn't take sales from the larger phones. I just want a phone that I can use with one hand when I'm standing on the bus or walking home with groceries. I have my iPad if I want the larger screen to do a lot of reading. It's my media consumption device. The phone is for keeping me in touch when I'm out and for quickly looking up stuff.
$300 a year is less than a dollar a day which is less than two local calls a day as it's $0.50 for a local call on a payphone in Canada.
Don't forget that it's an average of $300 a year. Some phones are going to be used a lot more while some are hardly used (most likely installed because they have to be and only used when nobody has a cell phone).
Maybe it was buried under the ice to prevent aliens from travelling to our world via the "Rosen-Einstein bridges" and by burning so many fossil fuels we risk invasion by melting the ice from above.
Well then stop putting in politicians that keep on cutting taxes and the budgets of education, and other services, to fund those tax cuts. If the school system was properly funded with good teachers who had time to prepare their lessons then there wouldn't be an opening, or at least an easy one, for companies to market their products under the guise of education.
If the system has a battery let it run out of power.
Voila! Your Windows system is now secure.
If you want something with more security while being able to actually use the computer then I would suggest installing an operating system with a Linux or BSD base.
Or company X actually breaks into company Y but goes to them with made up data saying that company Z used systems from X to do it and then proposes that X and Y launch attacks against Z. Meanwhile Z hasn't done anything and gets attacked by two of it's competitors.
