I was under the impression that the loss of atmosphere was extremely slow, and that any technology that could terraform the planet could easily keep pace with the loss.
I was just talking about keeping the cosmic rays from mutating people and breaking electronics.
Either the Board of Directors hired him to "gut things", or they hired him to improve the company, and then sat there doing nothing while he did the opposite. Either way, they're responsible.
Here's Nokia's stock price over the last 20 years. Stephen Elop became CEO is late 2010, right when the stock price hit 10. Of course it got worse, but you can see that Nokia was on its way out before he showed up.
China is a developing nation, and they are still relatively new to the way companies play it in the West
Their GDP is twice as big as Japan's, the #3 economy in the world. At what point do they stop getting to play the "we're just a poor developing country, we can't be expected to follow the rules" card?
why is education literally never a talking point during elections?
Because you're talking about Federal elections, and education is funded and managed almost entirely at the state and local levels of government.
Lots of people, including Sen. Ted Cruz, think that "Common Core" is a federal initiative. It was developed by the National Governors Association and approved per state.
anyone willing to call out the WoD on it's uselessness might as well claim he fiddles little children's weewees at night, he might generate a lighter backlash with this claim.
No politician in our PC-heavy climate would even dare to think about it.
It's not 1986 anymore and the "PC-heavy climate" is entirely in your head.
So, in the long run, Greece needs to leave the Euro. Except, a majority of Greeks want to stay in the Euro. Thus, the current Greek government wants to get kicked out, so they can blame the EU for it. But the EU does not want to take the blame, so they won't kick out Greece. What we have now, is a slow speed train wreck.
The part of the story I find interesting, that nobody is talking about, is that there are no written procedures for either kicking Greece out of the Euro Zone, or for Greece to voluntarily leave the Euro. One side or the other would have to unilaterally declare their action, and then dare the other side to deal with it. There will be 8000 lawsuits in 30 different courts asking judges to essentially create the rules as they go. Those cases could drag on for years. The financial markets would hate that kind of uncertainty.
The energy of the thrust effect is basically lost in the measurement error. Hell, the device measuring it could be affecting the measured thrust.
That's not true. They're measuring 30-50 micronewtons on a device with a 10-15 micronewton margin of error. Do you seriously think that the NASA scientists who did the testing don't grasp how margin of error works?
never mind that they are whipping themselves up into a froth about the least common categories of gun violence.
It's the least common within the category of violent crimes. But a huge percentage of that category is drug and/or gang related crimes. If a suburban middle class person is going to be killed in random violence, it's likely going to be a psycho bringing a 100 round drum magazine into a movie theater- like what happened in Colorado a couple years ago. The same people are more likely to be killed non-randomly by a family member, but nobody wants to acknowledge that.

And with a technocratic, authoritarian gov't, they have some leeway to take drastic measure that would be difficult if not impossible in a democracy.
Their latest authoritative decision is to forbid people who own more than 5% of a company's stock from selling for the next 6 months.

That's pretty insane. I can't see it going well.
you can't just pretend you don't have to cover certain parts of warfare.
The Air Force is well aware that dogfighting is still a possibility. That's why they built the F-22.
Because it has a sweet gun that makes a cool sound.
What is the name of a store that sells milk and bread and accepts payment in gold?

But you don't need to shield the whole planet, just the part where humans live.
Why didn't the evil Americans pick him up when he was walking around the streets of London for a year and a half?
You think it took 2 years for the US "credit crisis" to impact Europe?
Either the Board of Directors hired him to "gut things", or they hired him to improve the company, and then sat there doing nothing while he did the opposite. Either way, they're responsible.
That's awesome that you're smarter than everyone on Wall Street. You must have billions.
So the stock price lost 75% of its value in less than 3 years because everyone on Wall Street is a complete idiot?
Adding to my previous comment-

So Nokia's board, who hired Elop, and the CEOs before Elop, have absolutely no blame in Nokia's downfall?
It's the first couple minutes of the flight that people are worried about.
he didn't say they were small or poor. Putting words into someone else's mouth and hitting them with it -- I think that is called a strawman.

That's coming in 2017.
Brady will get suspended for lying to the investigators, not for the underinflated balls. Just like Richard Nixon.
Peyton Manning as well.
