It seems like standard supply-demand economics at play here. Demand for VPNs is especially strong in markets where the government is blocking access to popular overseas services, so it makes perfect sense that the companies offering them would pop up in the same place.
Around here we insert "quality" in place of "easy". I guess it works either way, except that PHB doesn't care whether something is easy or not, so the former is a no-brainer to him - fast and cheap every time.
Alternatively: they all come from the same root cause: the lucrative industry around selling training in the latest IT buzzword of the day to companies that are perpetually struggling to deliver quality software with their workforce of low paid coding school graduates.
You are the one demonstrating understanding below 8th grade level. You are comparing numbers without regard to the units. By your logic, if I use imperial measurements, the ratio of surface are to volume is reduced by one order of magnitude. Problem solved! A sphere is a sphere, the proportions are the same, no matter the scale.
More likely 5 micron. The other thing I would take issue with there is the "surface area to volume" being relevant. Surface area and volume have different units, and are thus not directly comparable. If we're talking spherical particles, they all have the same proportions.
If I remember correctly, the supposedly racist film is actually early black and white film that would preserve detail in white faces but make people with very dark skin just look black. That's actually a basic property of film: the light response is nonlinear so you get more contrast at the dark end and less at the light end.
The non-linearity applies to color film as well. Up until the 1970's color film had poor contrast in darker tones, and it was reportedly (according to a Vox documentary on the subject) chocolate and wood product manufacturers complaints about their products lacking detail in advertisements that triggered improvements. It wasn't until the mid 1990's (just before digital started to take over) that dark skin tones could be seen with the same detail as light ones in the same photo by even consumer grade film, though the photographer's attention to lighting still plays a big part.
Strange that they built a bridge then. Of course, the parent said "to the island" which is unlikely to have any land borders by definition. Presumably HK island.
Personally, I would presume Lantau Island, as it really wouldn't make sense to build a bridge around Lantau Island to get to Hong Kong Island when all the infrastructure is already in place to move people and freight out to the airport on Lantau Island from anywhere in Hong Kong.
There should be no doubt though- this bridge was partially to be a political show to Hong Kong and partially to be a great way to get tanks and troops to Hong Kong quickly should they ever be troublesome about one party rule.
I was wondering why they chose to build it from Macau to Hong Kong, rather than mainland China, but thanks you just cleared that up for me.</sarcasm>
The TNCs aren't law, but violating them and continually accessing the servers is "computer fraud and abuse" and illegal.
This is a dubious legal argument which is hinted at in an earlier article linked by the article: "might fall foul of Californian laws governing reasonable access to computer systems". This is especially dubious where the alleged fraud and abuse is using a feature of the website for sending messages to the seller to... send messages to the seller.
TFA says they tested Rock, Sea and Lake salts. My expectation would be that rock salts are lower risk than sea salts, but the results don't seem to show that, with evaporated sea salts seemingly getting some of the best scores, though logically they would seem to be at highest risk of contamination by microplastics. The annoying thing about all these scientific studies (they quote 5 earlier studies as well) is that they anonymize their results to avoid being sued by multinational corporations with enough money to spend on lawyers that they will bleed the researchers dry before they can win, so as a consumer you can't actually use them to choose which salt to buy.
The problem is that those five countries are in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, not the Atlantic. Some waste may make the trip across the equator (except for Indonesia which is mostly below the equator) and down into the Southern Ocean and back up into the Atlantic, but the prevailing ocean currents generally don't encourage that.
The advise to "merge like a zip" can be seen on freeways around here as well, but it is advisory, not law. The law is that the traffic on the on-ramp has the obligation to change their speed to make the merge safely in a gap between traffic, not the traffic already on the freeway. It sounds from the article that the Camry basically tried to merge with their cruise control on, and was that special kind of asshole who expects the world to adjust to them, that is all too common these days.
Yeah I was too quick to judge, I found if I leave the browser sitting there for 5 minutes, it eventually loads the data for where I moved the map to. And now that it has loaded that once, it seems to load quickly now, and properly jump to my location instead of showing me the US.
And Google's data isn't great - for my city, they only have the local BMW dealership, but every shopping mall, major hotel and council recreation venue has free charging spots. PlugShare has about half of these spots covered.
No PlugShare does not already do this. When I go to the PlugShare website, after giving it permission to use my location, I am taken to a map of the US. Scrolling the map out to the correct location, I see that PlugShare has absolutely no coverage anywhere outside the US.
Strange though, that practically everyone who felt strongly enough to put it in their own words was on one side. So employees of Telcos, did your employer give you a template letter and ask you to send it, or did they send it on your behalf without asking?

But if it comes down to a choice between getting the implant or losing their jobs, how many workers do you think will choose to become unemployed?
I can't tell you how many, but I can tell you it will be your most valuable and difficult to replace staff that are first out the door.

So you're saying it is a Republican majority government conspiracy to silence right-wing voices?
You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm also entitled to laugh at you from the sidelines.
The reason why you'd want to go with Windows is that that's probably what most of them will need to use when they enter the workforce.
No one gets fired for buying IBM., so maybe they should be teaching the kids OS/2.
Or.. people who can afford to be picky about what they eat, are less likely to be stuck eating cheap trash that gives you cancer.
if you double the distance between two fixed points for any closed shape the volume goes up 8x while the surface area goes up 4x
Because volume is 3 dimensional and surface area is 2 dimensional. Comparing them as a ratio is meaningless, not unitless.
it's 2018, a CD player costs $5 bucks to make
Curious as to your source for this.

Political patronage was also huge, Mass politicians kicked back federal money to their buddies, SOP.
This project clearly shows how much more efficient China is at funneling money back to politicians and their buddies.
There should be no doubt though- this bridge was partially to be a political show to Hong Kong and partially to be a great way to get tanks and troops to Hong Kong quickly should they ever be troublesome about one party rule.

Your T&Cs are not law. Please do not abuse the word "illegal" like this.

A billion potential users is a lot of extra advertising and other data mining related revenue. We cannot resist.

Russia was also part of the Soviet Union. That does not make Georgia part of Russia. Now or then.
