Past reservation history allows you to alert them of sales, promotions, discounts for a place they have stayed a lot
Another reason that you should adopt some GDPR like laws. Not storing personal info just because they think they can make a buck from it, they have to have a legitimate business reason or get your explicit permission.
Okay then, define "renewable energy" for me and then tell me how nuclear power does not fit that definition.
Renewable sources use naturally self-renewing resources, with the caveat that the renewal must be over a relatively short term. Another general requirement is that the use of the fuel causes little pollution or environmental damage.
It's a myth that wind and solar require massive amounts of mining. The blog you cite is unconvincing and the sources it cites don't support its conclusion. Do you have something peer reviewed that shows that all the experts in this field calling for more wind and solar power and convincing most of the world of the need for it are in fact wrong?
The military doesn't need commercial liability insurance. That alone makes commercial nuclear shipping uneconomical. It's actually kind of perverse, it's cheaper to use polluting diesel than to insure against the risk of a nuclear shipping accident.
The Navy model can't be applied to commercial ships. The Navy has an endless supply of well trained people to monitor the reactors, people who are largely immune to cost considerations. The supply and maintenance contracts are gold plated.
For shipping we might look at hydrogen for fuel. At least we can make that cleanly.
Google isn't all that fussed about search in China, they care about Android. Android needs Google services like search, voice assistant, Play Store etc.
Most phones in China run custom versions of Android based on the open source code, without any Google services (because they are blocked). Google wants in to that, and search is just one component they need.
Japan's big problem is that when those plants were built the understanding of the geology and potential failure modes was poor. It's far from perfect now, but with experience and better equipment to find and analyze faults and model disasters they are realizing that many of those plants are not as safe as they thought.
Much of the delay has been because when people started to look they found new faults and potential weaknesses in design. No-one was really looking before, there was no programme to use the latest techniques to re-check existing installations. With the new information safety evaluations had to be re-done and changes made.
A lot of people in rural areas were hoping that Trump would help them as their industries declined, but it was false hope. No-one can reverse the decline of things like coal, and even where action is possible it takes many years and long term policies.
Populists always disappoint. Politics in general does, but particularly populists.
It's not a one way street, Trump wants US companies to build cars in the US and export them to Japan. Japanese companies built factories in the US.
US companies could build factories in Japan if they wanted to, but US cars aren't really suited to the Japanese market. US cars are too inefficient, too large, don't have the features and localization that Japanese people expect. The US is claiming that it's strict Japanese emissions standards that are to blame, but even if those were relaxed they wouldn't sell many over there.
To an extent it's always been the case, due to inflation making stuff look expensive to older people and of course all the new stuff not existing when they were kids. But now we also have credit based consumerism, the high cost of living and of property distorting everything too.
That's why you get nonsense about how if they only stopped eating avocados and buying phones they could afford a house.
I wish you could just search for the name of the app or a simple tag like "graphics" to show all graphics related apps.
It would also really help if organizing he start menu was easier. Make it easy to group apps into categories and make sure that when they update they don't default back to the root level like they do now.
I wonder how legal they would be. Invisible to the naked eye so no issues there. Police would probably try to claim that they were to frustrate speed cameras, but you could argue they were for general privacy as every bugger has a camera these days.
Could cause problems with car parks that use number plate scanning. Maybe have an off switch in the cabin.
That could be because Devices and Printers doesn't exist on Windows 10 any more...
It's still broken though. The new equivalent is "Devices" in the Settings window. But searching for "devices" won't find it. It only finds sub-items like "Bluetooth and other devices".
The biggest reason for the declining quality is the reduced time given to production. Anything that speeds it up and leaves more time for review should improve the animation.
It's been happening slowly for a couple of decades now. An early example would be Azumanga Daioh, which was drawn in pencil as usual but then scanned and inked and coloured digitally. It looks pretty normal, most people at the time didn't realize.
Later even Studio Ghibli started using digital stuff for in-between frames, although all the key stuff is hand painted.
3D and digital has massively reduced the cost of producing anime and vastly improved the quality. Early 3D stuff did stand out, but now when they do it well it's seamless. Sometimes they just use it as a guide and then hand draw over it, like they did with the Hollywood movie Tron.
It seems like there is a bug that breaks the search function. On every Windows 10 machine I've used typing "cmd" brings up the command prompt as the first item instantly. But you are not the only one complaining about it, so there must be something that triggers this problem.
I've been using search since Windows 7 and find it's the fastest way to launch apps now. The main problem I have is remembering the name of apps I rarely use.
The basic concept of the start menu being a folder tree is flawed. Every app does its own thing so there is no top level organization, it's just a mixture of company names you quickly forget and app names you quickly forget. If you try to organize them they fight you and every update puts them back to the default location.
Microsoft needs to start over with it. It's not easy when there is incentive for developers to spam the menu and desktop and task bar and everywhere else with their crap, but what it really wants is one icon per app and some simple metadata. Phones aren't actually a terrible example, although it would be nice if you could create a "games" folder and when you install new games the icon goes in there by default.
My experience of Windows 10 has mostly been blighted my the forced restarts, until I found out how to turn them off.
For reference go to %windir%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator, rename the "Restart" file and create a folder called "Restart" so that Windows can't re-create it.
Other than that it's okay. Multiple desktops are nice, although it resets the order of items on the task bar whenever you switch. It's janky crap like that which never gets fixed that erodes what little faith I had in Microsoft after Windows 7 was actually kinda good.
The start menu is still a crap way to organize apps.
If you keep reading the summary you can see that their concern is not so much the bit under the 405, but the fact that if they get the go-ahead for that bit it will help their application for the rest of it to get pushed through hastily.
That law preventing companies from splitting large projects up into small sections is there for a reason.

Only you are calling them "alternative energy", most people call it renewable energy.
Mostly coal.
Nope. In 2015 Japan was:
39% gas
34% coal
9% oil
8.4% hydro
~4.3% other renewables
0.9% nuclear

then makes sure that some of their services do not eat into that cap
That sounds like the opposite of net neutrality.
It seems fairly pointless anyway, given that a) people have mobile data and b) I doubt many people go to Starbucks to look at porn.
Or move those archives out of the US where the DMCA does not apply.
This is why we had world wide mirrors back in the day, especially for crypto software.
I did.
They didn't all spend it on themselves and their family/friends.
