Most of the decommissioning costs I've seen are a fraction of that. They also seem to be planning to take the tower and foundations away, which makes no sense. Surely you are going to want to put another turbine in its place.
It's more subtle than that. They might be skeptical, but the fake stories prime them to think about facts in a certain way. The language, the framing of current events.
Checking Microsoft's own stats they claim that 56% of their workers are caucasion, which is what I presume you mean when you say "white": https://www.microsoft.com/en-u...
Of course that is for the whole company, but it would be quite incredible if somehow at their main HQ "white workers have been all but eliminated" and yet all other locations put the overall figure at 56%.
Unfortunately it's hard to say how many of their employees are Indian because the EEO-1 form lumps them in with a lot of other nationalities and ethnicities: "A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam." But it's certainly less than 31% which is the total for all of those, and of course that number includes all Americans who are "Asian" but not foreign nationals.
I thought you meant Notepad2 for a moment there. It has syntax highlighting and other nice features, and I'm running it now with about 3k of text open and it's using 1MB of memory.
They spent decades attacking her and her husband and gave massive amounts of coverage to the FBI investigations right before the election that ultimately went nowhere.
Not saying they were necessarily nicer to Trump, they certainly called out a lot of his bullshit, but Hilary didn't get an easy ride by any stretch of the imagination.
That could have been a genuine mistake on your part, but unfortunately I've seen a lot of people using this trick where they post a link that they assume no-one will actually check to give their post credibility, even though the link is broken/wrong/doesn't support their argument.
Note that it's 50-75% of Germany's *gas* imports. Trump said "energy", but gas makes up less than 20% of Germany's energy mix.
Also, note that this doesn't mean Germany is "totally controlled" by Russia as Trump claims, any more than I am "totally controlled" by the supermarket I get 60% of my food from. It just means that if Russia did decide to squeeze Germany's natural gas supply I'd have to shop somewhere else or eat fewer avocados.
Why wouldn't they tell everyone? "Don't try to attack us, we have advanced defence systems that can detect your decoy missiles and track the real ones."
Russia did the same with its announcement that it has hypersonic long range missiles and drone sub nukes that can't be stopped by any existing system. Both China and the US demonstrated their ability to shoot down satellites.
And anyway, it's not like they could keep it a secret for very long. The US is presumably working on the same tech, and has a good idea of what the quantum radar test sites would look like on spy satellite photos.
I'd prefer a laptop to be 1mm thicker but have a decent keyboard and socket for storage/ram. Would also be nice if the keyboard was not riveted to the whole top part of the laptop.
What limits production of highly skilled workers in the US is the US education system.
Public schools vary immensely in quality and funding levels. Higher education is expensive and also of variable quality. Those top schools you mention are pretty exclusive and many can only afford them with assistance.
That's one of the reasons why tech companies are trying to help schools with STEM education. They are trying to increase the supply.
But that's not what people opposing immigration of skilled workers want. If supply increases, there is downward pressure on wages. Better education, more women and minorities entering the tech jobs market, it all has the same effect as tech workers immigrating.
Is it cheap labour or are they trying to hire highly skilled people?
Because hiring highly skilled people is hard, especially when your immigration system makes it harder. In the UK we are finding that with doctors. Even when they can get a visa they naturally want to bring their families with them, who all also need visas. They also want certainty about the future, so there has to be a solid path to permanent rights to stay in a reasonable timeframe, otherwise why build a life somewhere you might get kicked out of?
The cheap labour angle doesn't seem that compelling anyway. If they really wanted to do that surely it would be easier to just outsource the work to India or wherever and demand they work shifts that match US office hours, with Orwellian telescreens running Skype everywhere. It would be much cheaper than paying someone enough to live in the US, even on subsistence wages.
AR is very difficult because of lag. You need a sensor that accurately measures head movement or position. Measurements take time, transmitting the measurement takes time. Then you have to incorporate that into your 3D model, render it and send the rendered image to the screen.
Unlike VR where the rendered image is all you can see, by now the background you are rendering over has already moved.
Add on sensor error and jitter that needs smoothing out and AR is always gonna look pretty janky until we get those latencies down by an order of magnitude or more.

You can have one very reliable Cisco switch or four redundant cheaper ones.
Take your pick between NSA and Chinese backdoors.

It's a bit of it date now but there's a list: https://www.nytimes.com/intera...
Seems like a little more than failure to virtue signal. His companies discriminating against non-whites was proven in court, for example.
Give it time, it's still early days. Watergate took 4 years, Iran Contra took over six.
Privacy rights continue after death in the EU. Otherwise it would affect your behaviour while alive, a chilling effect.
Do you have evidence to back this up?

The media hardly ever talked about Hillary.
They spent decades attacking her and her husband and gave massive amounts of coverage to the FBI investigations right before the election that ultimately went nowhere.
Not saying they were necessarily nicer to Trump, they certainly called out a lot of his bullshit, but Hilary didn't get an easy ride by any stretch of the imagination.
The good news is that the investigations are working. This attack was stopped in its tracks before it could be used to interfere with US democracy.
Your post is a perfect example of why people should not trust random Slashdot posters.
Your link to Eurostat goes to their home page. The actual data is here: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/s...

At least the right one is still in business.

All this tells us is that some people are better at taking IQ tests than others.
IQ isn't a measure of raw intelligence or ability.
Is it offensive or just shorthand to avoid having to say/write "Lanina/Lantino" every single time?
What is the word for someone who sees offence everywhere? Not themselves offended as such, just assuming everyone else is motivated by offence.
Stigma is literally the first thing in the BBC article, and mentioned on the front page of the other link.
Not in Chinese though, the most popular first language on earth. Or Japanese for that matter.
I wouldn't read too much into it.
Way ahead of you. There have been lots of schemes to encourage more men to get into nursing, and lots of research to understand the problem.
Here are some overviews:

Same with teaching. It's particularly bad in primary level, where children need male role models. The BBC is a good starting point:

Interesting. One "overrated" mod, an AC comment, and one "underrated" mod in the space of a couple of minutes.
Who are you really AC? What is your username?
Interesting. How many do you get total? Are they all USB C or are some A?

Same reason they removed the headphone socket and dropped down to a single combined USB/charging port.
I guess that way they can sell more dongles.
