It doesn't always work though. Look at Tesla, the self driving division had to fit a revolving door and they are still years away from delivering anything.
I really doubt that they are picking them based on probability of failure, because that is hard to measure. You can measure tolerances for stuff like timing and you can measure what its true limits are, but predicting reliability over time... You are in to stuff like x-ray inspection and electron microscopes.
By far the biggest factor causing instability and resentment in 1920s Germany was war reparations.
After WW1 the victors made Germany pay them massive reparations and severely limited Germany's military and industrial expansion. It was both very damaging to the German economy (which experienced hyper inflation among other things) and also humiliating.
It both created Hitler and the environment in which Hitler and Nazism could flourish.
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

The word "thereof" means "of the thing just mentioned".
Clearly it is saying "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction [of the United States]".
$200M seems kinda cheap for a gas plant, can't be very big. Using EIA numbers at around $1000/kW for gas plants that would be a 200MW installation.
200MW is on the small side for large scale solar farms. Okay the cost is higher than gas, but I thought he point here was to spend as much money as possible.
Bad example. If you are a billboard owner and you allow people to run illegal campaign ads under the name "Vladamir Putin" then you will very likely end up in court answering questions as to why you didn't question it.
Considering they signed up as Cambridge Analytica, Facebook's arch nemesis that recently cost them until millions of dollars and forced them to run an international advertising campaign trying to recover people's trust, at the very least it looks pretty bad for them.
Samsung does listen apparently, as the Galaxy S 9 has most of that stuff again. SD card slot and supports USB-C to HDMI. No IR blaster though.
One other nice trick you can do is get a USB hub with HDMI port. Then you can plug in external storage (flash drive, even a USB HDD) and the HDMI at the same time and watch videos on a big screen. With a HDD you can take terabytes of stuff with you.
As for writing to SD cards, it never went away, it just needs to be managed differently. Overall it's better, it fixes a bunch of annoyances when using USB storage mode and with stuff breaking if you remove/swap cards. It just took far too long to get sorted out and make apps work properly with it.
Okay, so we have one possibly attempted murder (he was actually charged with assault). Against a long list of actual murders. Can you see why I'm saying it's false equivalence?
I'm not disputing that there are some bad people with left wing views or in Antifa, by the way.
The reason for the 2001 cut-off is that's where Wikipedia's list begins, and apparently there was some change in the way such things are defined and recorded due to 9/11 that makes data from that point forward more reliable.
Doesn't matter what you call them (Trump called the Nazis "very fine people"), it matters what they do. How many people have Antifa murdered since 2001?
Carriers are obliged to allow users to roam on to their networks within the EU, but many of them offer an inferior service. For example they might limit roaming users to 3G and slow speeds (Verizon limiting to 2G is exceptionally shitty).
You aren't going to be editing a 3GB PSD on your iPad Pro either.
The 3GB file contains compressed image data, so you need more than 3GB of RAM to load it for display/editing.
With only 4GB of RAM and some of that needed for the OS, Photoshop itself, the display/GPU and all the background apps you can't switch off, the chances of you being able to edit a 3GB PSD file is close to zero. Virtual memory might make it happen but it's going to be painful.
More realistically people will use their tablets for lesser editing tasks, sketching and a bit of photo rework. Samsung has the best styli and the best screens. Better cameras too, for that matter.
You could use Xamarin on a Windows PC for that, no need to get a Mac. Xamarin apps run on Windows and iOS, saving you the trouble of doing a separate port for each.
Apple are using the same CPUs (and thus memory controllers) as everyone else, so there should be no need to use more expensive RAM. If they really cared they would use ECC (and maybe switch to Ryzen that supports it) like they do on the workstations.
Sure, my point was that MEMS can exceed crystals for some applications. As ever it's a trade off between price, physical size and manufacturing issues. I wasn't suggesting they use or need 0.1 PPM for a cellular modem.
Your link is 404... Initially MEMS was worse, that's true. But the latest generation devices are exceptional. A MEMS TCXO can get down to 0.1 PPM over temperature, e.g. SiT5356. For a crystal that would usually need an OCXO, which of course has insane power and space requirements.
My TV has on-demand features like BBC iPlayer and ITV Player.
I only got the cable STB because it was 20 quid a year more than broadband on its own. I guess they are hoping that I spend more money on pay-per-view or something.
The box is total crap, I can't believe how bad it is. It's actually slower than the last one I had over a decade ago. Takes 10 minutes to start up (no exaggeration) and the menus are slow and unresponsive. The TV guide in particular lags like hell. The cheap LG TV I have it connected to is nice and fast.
I don't think it's due to lack of power in the box, I think it's just crap programming. Like the way a badly designed OS can take much longer to boot than a fast one on the same hardware.
So very obvious that it wasn't innovative - yet only one company thought to try it.
It's not that it was a great innovation, it's that only Apple thought people would pay for it. The magsafe connector was expensive, made of 14 separate parts and that's just the charger side. It also required the computer and charger to carefully manage the power delivery to avoid shorts, further adding to cost.
Apple laptops are expensive devices with high profit margins, so Apple could afford to spend the money on such a connector.
You will note that the magsafe connectors on cooking equipment were almost exclusive to Japan. For reasons I won't get in to the Japanese are uniquely willing to pay a lot more for such features so it's often used as a test market for new ideas, and many of those features never make it to the west because the manufacturer doesn't think they will sell.
It's a myth that Apple's patent prevented other manufacturers from doing their own magsafe connectors. The patent just covers some easily worked-around stuff like the arrangement of the magnets and symmetrical contacts. They just didn't because it's not something they thought would sell.
Not really, these days most of the attacks are on web browsers and the the same ones run on MacOS as on every other system. The only real differences are the level of protection that the OS provides (e.g. sandboxing) and how easy it is to manipulate the UI to confuse the user.
MacOS doesn't seem to be significantly better in these regards. It's had it's fair share of gaffes too, such as allowing Unicode bidirectional markers in file names.
It's not even new, this kind of thing has been on laptops for decades. I remember similar stuff back in the 90s, where a physical switch would be actuated by closing the lid and disable stuff like the screen backlight and the microphone. Back then Windows' power management was a joke so manufacturers used hardware switches.
MEMS resonators are useful for a few reasons. They are now more stable over temperature than crystals, especially when combined with temperature control (TCXO). There is less phase noise too, very handy for RF purposes.
Lots of Android phones do use MEMS oscillators though, e.g. in the cellular modem which is the same one used by Apple (made by Qualcomm or Intel). So either the MEMS oscillator is not the cause of the failure or the claim is not entirely correct.

I don't see any point having it waste electricity when I don't use it 97% of the time. It's not exactly energy efficient.

Careful, they said that about the UK and the EU too, and look how that is working out.

It looks like they've even gone with standard SSD modules, since they say "all-flash PCIe-based storage".
10 bucks to your favourite charity says it's soldered down.
