All foreign journalists need a visa to go to the US.
Journalists do not qualify for visa free travel, even if they are from a visa waiver country, if they are going to the US for the purpose of journalism. (All other professions can go on business trips to the US visa-free - but journalists have always been excluded from this since the visa waiver program began).
Access to Google's APIs for anything that amounts to more than hobbyist use is paid. Google will sell API services to companies needing to classify things in their videos, just like they do with their Vision API right now. Google has revenue streams other than advertising.
It's not just the decoder, branch prediction is more complex (more scope for bugs), the pipeline has to be more complex due to the variable length instructions that can be one byte long up to 7 bytes long. It doesn't matter a lot in chips where you have few very powerful processors (traditional servers), but where you have many many low power processors it adds up.
Just like Intel is entrenched in servers/desktops (and therefore incredibly hard to displace, despite the fact you could make an ARM chip just as powerful), ARM is entrenched in low power even though Intel could make a low power chip. It's not worth the effort for those making low power devices to switch to Intel due to the massive investment in time and tools it would take for what would be very slight advantage (if any - after all, due to the insane x86 instruction set the decoder and pipeline for an x86 is bigger than a whole ARM execution core)
$4K/mo left over is still a lot of money. That's almost as much as I take home *before* taxes and before paying a mortgage, yet I can afford to run a light aircraft *and* save money each month. If you've got $4k left over after paying the rent and taxes, you're still doing well, and if you're struggling on that then you're living extravagently.
Only if they can sell the shares they bought. Every sale requires a buyer, and if all the buying to get it up to $15 was really just mistakes, it's likely no one will buy them off you for that amount.
Thunderbolt *is* DisplayPort (precisely, a superset of DisplayPort). Apple computers usually use the mini DisplayPort style connector, but if your DisplayPort display uses a fullsize DisplayPort cable, cheap adapters are readily available.
You can get "dumb" LCD TVs, I got one about 2 years ago, 50 odd inch. Since the hi-fi is underneath it, it's straightforward to route the audio through something with better speakers. It turns on far quicker than my old (and much beloved at the time) Trinitron display, no tube to warm up - sub 1 second startup. The picture quality is so much better than the Trinitron it's like night and day.
I always thought the Huffington Post was a paper from a town called Huffington that just happened to get famous. Then I find out it was someone called Huffington wanting a vanity project.
It depends where in Europe. Remember, Europe's not a country. Spain for instance requires ID, but the UK (which at least until 2019 is still part of Europe) you can buy SIMs from a vending machine at the airport with cash.
My Panasonic 50-something in TV is *not* a smart TV, and it's about 2 years old. I specifically shopped for a "dumb" TV. The features of smart TVs will quickly become outdated and cumbersome, and I hope to keep a TV for a good 10+ years. It was cheaper than the smart versions.
The whole thing smelled of bullshit from day zero. It's much easier for the US to get someone extradited from the UK than it is for them to extradite someone from Sweden, so the whole running-to-the-embassy thing never made sense, except as a possible means to escape being tried for rape. If the US really wanted him, they'd have had the extradition process started with the UK long before Assange went to the Ecuadorian embassy.
I think the police have actually stopped guarding the Ecuadorian embassy. I'm sure there's still surveillance and they'd catch up with him pretty quick if he did attempt to leave, though.
Some don't though. I remember a conversation I had with my grandfather (who used to repair TVs) in the pub when he was in his 80s, somehow we got onto talking about the new stuff that was coming out. HD wasn't really a thing yet - and he commented it didn't seem worth getting a large TV because how visible the lines would be (and additionally, it'd be even worse for people in NTSC countries with about 100 fewer lines).
If it is an interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, that's not to say it's useless - a propellant-less means of satellite station keeping in Earth orbit would still be useful iff the effect scales up sufficiently.
It's happening anyway, every last joule of that tidal energy is already being used, it's just being used up by crashing up and down shorelines rather than turning turbines. Tidal power merely extracts some of the energy that would have otherwise been dissipated on the shoreline, so there's no net effect on the moon anyway.
> Now connect it to a generator and extract enough power such that it doesn't accelerate any more, but doesn't slow down
This here is the impossible bit. Just because you can/momentarily/ extract 6-odd kw at the shaft, it doesn't mean you can keep doing it forever. You may find that any more power extracted than just the friction in the bearings will slow your hypothetical wheel down.
1000Nm torque doesn't say anything about the power you can continuously extract.
You don't bankrupt a company by selling its shares.
You might make its share price lower, which in some cases might make it a tasty takeover target, but the price of a company's shares on the secondary market doesn't affect in any way shape or form the running of a business. You're only selling your ownership stake in the company to some other person.
With a well run company like Shell, if you divest shares and the price of the shares go down, it will be somewhat self correcting. The dividend yield will go up - the business's viability hasn't changed, so the dividend remains the same but you can buy into that with a lower share price - making the company more attractive to people who don't have a problem with owning shares in oil companies - thus stopping the share price from falling very far.
The only way you're actually going to hurt Shell is for everyone to stop buying their product. That isn't going to happen any time soon. It might happen over the long term, oil usage vs GDP has been falling for some time now. But selling Shell shares isn't going to put them out of business since it literally doesn't affect them.
Britain is not the best comparison for Europe. First off, Britain is always a laggard when it comes to clean power - it was a laggard just in cleaning up its act with sulphur emissions with the coal plants. The UK is also not really Europe and generally doesn't subscribe to Europe's more progressive policies when it comes to energy. Expect a lot of backsliding on this once Brexit is complete and EU regulations are no longer pulling the UK kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

No doubt the trains will all soon be running on time, too...

The problem is SUV drivers see them as challenges and go roaring over them at speed.

1. City of London
2. London is in England, and this court decision was in Scotland. Scottish law doesn't apply in England.
So no.
Broadcast FM (VHF) can easily make it 100 miles over somewhere with flat terrain and where the transmitter antenna is on a tall tower.

I clicked on "I" expecting to see "immigrants cause cancer", but I guess they went for the next best thing - "imported food causes cancer"
I think this explains the Mail very well.
