Of course, the density of the material, location, and difficulty seperating it is where the cost comes in.
Like gold, for instance. Les than 0.003 parts per million in the earth's crust. Enough in the earth's core to plate the planet with a 13 foot blanket. It's not "rare", it's just hard to find in easily accesible form.
Just to be clear. This doesn't affect them. It's not like their credit card was stolen or their SSN plastered on the side of a billboard. If someone says "it shows here that you were AGAINST net neutrality in this FCC comment", they could say "I didn't write that". The end.
So if they are pursuing this, they are using their own "identity theft" as a means of forcing the issue into the light again so they can discuss the broader effect of millions of fake comments.
Being highly uninioned in a country that already implements many of the most costly demands of labor isn't exactly a huge feat.
Union Workers - "We demand reasonable cost healthcare" American Businesses - "No way, we would go bankrupt" German Businesses - "uh, what? We don't have anything to do with your healthcare costs"
Union Workers - "We demand 4 weeks of vacation!" American Businesses - "No way, we would go bankrupt" German Businesses - "But we already give you 6 if you count holidays. It's the law afterall"
That's like saying Philip Morris is an American company, started in America. However when rounding to the nearest percent, they derive 100% of their revenue from countries other than the US.
Everytime I move I pre-run everything for my DirecTv. Cabling from the securly mounted dish is run tightly under the eves and through a roof vent, where it hits a powered splitter and then gets run through the walls into each room. Dish is aligned using the box, then I unplug the box and call the "pro" for installation.
I can drive down just about any random street in my city and see wires hung from dishes tacked down the outside wall and then passed through a hole drilled directly through the wall into their livingroom. No frigging way would I put up with that.
Carrying 10 more states and 77 more votes isn't really close. It was only a "close" race if you ignore the actual rules and result.
If you don't like the way we elect presidents, then campaign for a change. The system made a lot of sense when implemented (and still makes some sense when you remember that every state is a separate entity and deserves some say in the outcome, not just Florida/California/Texas/New York).
They have a couple of good shows (I like Bosh and Sneaky Pete), but more importantly they are investing in a good deal of scifi-fantasy that doesn't typically get a good shake on network TV.
Worth the entire price of Prime? Not really, but where I paid $99 for prime shipping only (and I use it more than ever) the prime video may be worth $20 to me.
Playing Devil's advocate, would it be possible to be the "product", for them to be profitable, and for it still to not invade your privacy? I.E. they could track generic usage to find market trends, popular brands, shifts in politics. This data is probably valuable without requiring them to track individuals or invade any particular persons privacy.
He is saying of the people that got a positive result, for certain genes, it was in fact a false positive. No information is provided about what percentage of people taking the test got a false negative or true negative. If a test is incredibly accurate at knowing if you are not at risk, that's still a valid test. Especially if it isn't too expensive or invasive to follow up on positive results to see if they were accurate.
You take the test, it says you're okay you go on with life.
You take the test, it says your're not okay, you get a second opinion.
Probably not. But they are shipping. My neighbor has one and now that I have driven both it and the Bolt I am kicking my own arse for not getting in early on the pre-orders. At this point I might as well wait for the 2020 model.
I will have to tell my old man that he is full of crap next time he tells me about working at HP in Santa Rosa in the 70s. Turns out they didn't come to Silicon Valley until after Ebay made it popular in the late 90s.
Just to be clear, your implying that the power required for their headquarters being mostly renewable already is more important to the validity of their cause (vs being a publicity stunt) than the power required for the cell towers. Even though the cell tower power may be orders of magnitude greater?
[QUOTE]And your space travel example is insane. First man in space? First man in orbit? First satellite? First rocket? None of that was US. The US had the first man on the moon. Yay, one first out of hundreds. So let's pretend that's the only one that matters.[/QUOTE]
First, and still only. Not as important to our everyday lives as satellites, to be sure, but still the most impressive space feat (and yes, more than 50 years ago).
It only "doesn't make sense" if you assume that the structure we have today, of United States, was always the case. It wasn't.
If you are being asked to join an assembly of states, many of whom are much more populated than your own (and by completely different ethnicities and religions), are you going to advocate for a straight democracy? Just willingly throw away your right to have a say in the new government? Or maybe you hold out until they come up with a compromise that gives you greater proportional influence.
If you're going to advocate changing to a direct democracy, then you must recognize that you are negating a very important carrot that was used to convince states to join the union. That's grounds for voiding the compact and every state should now be allowed to leave or demand new incentives from the federal government in exchange for remaining.
Where I live there are two regional fast food chains that have been using touch screen ordering kiosks to place all non-drive through orders for more than a decade. I have never seen any that were unreliable, and they (and most other kiosks) did not use XP, they used Windows CE.

Little tubes that produce power through a chemical process. Usually used to power portable devices and machines.

Please point me towards the $1 e-mail service that gives me guaranteed privacy (and 19GB of space, and integrates perfectly with my phone / calendar)

Nope, I take care of my own shit (literally, I have a septic system).
Unless they suddenly stopped taxing income in London, I don't see how it would be possible to pay 80% of your income on a mortgage.
Unless they sell both of those Airports to the same company that owns BWI, there will be competition.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
The worst network, bar none, as long as you only count the top 4 networks.
You first have to ignore the other hundred or so that own and maintain their own networks within the US (not MVNOs).

Germans will get there first, by programming the car to lie about how much fuel has been consumed when under test conditions.
