The point of the study is that this increase in efficiency doesn't make up for the increase in manufacturing costs. Thus, electric cars are only good in places with cheap (and not polluting) nuclear power.
That's exactly how it should be done, but just try to explain this to a politician. The problem with adopting security is that it's hard to understand so it would require people in power to trust professionals on matters they don't really get, an ability rare in leaders.
Personally I'm much more worried of the legislation of the internet than advertisers tracking me. I can disable cookies, I can't disable lawyers. We shouldn't seek a legislatory solution to a technical problem.
The problem is that DNT is not only optional to the users, but also to the advertisers. If everyone has DNT, advertisers will just ignore it for IE users. We have a choice of letting the privacy-conscious minority use DNT, or noone.
Orbits around the Earth are affected by the Moon, that satellite won't just stay there for so long. They would be better off with a Lagrange orbit. Also, if it's only 100 pictures they should've engraved them on the disks rather than using a digital format the aliens have little chance to decrypt.
Exactly, this is a very big problem with social "sciences" that are almost purely empirical and the only theory they know (in the good case) is statistics. Without a theoretical foundation it's almost impossible to detect when correlation is misleading: the 95% rule is not a replacement for a scientific model. When a physics experiment yield results suggesting faster-than-light particles scientists knew that it was likely an error because of the field's theoretical background. These checks aren't present in most soft sciences.
Assuming that all fraudsters get caught which knowing the situation of medical science is very far from the truth. The paper doesn't talk about the number of erroneous articles, only the ratio between the number of frauds and the number of genuine mistakes.
There is a difference between personal emails written at home and emails written during work. If that work is funded by the public, then they have a right to know.
I'm European and I think you are an idiot for bringing nationalism into a debate about the global net. Like it or not, the Internet has become what it is under American control, they developed it and built it up to a thing that fundamentally changed our lives. That's why I trust them much more than the barbarian-dominated UN. America is still the land of the free and one of the most liberal places in the world, and while I don't like it when they try to force that liberalism on the political or economical systems of other countries, that freedom is crucial for the Internet to function. The Internet is a worldwide thing, and national legislation of it is bullshit and would just fracture it into small subnets, ruining its biggest strength. And while I would love if it was led by a global organisation of professionals, that has exactly zero chance. In the current situation most countries only support the treaty because they want to censor the net and want to introduce tariffs on throughgoing traffic. This is a move to give politicians even more control over the net.
Neither is really an option. It's not like either the US or the UN could convince China not to censor their network. Tyrannies will always control their national subnets, the only difference is that they now also want control over the Internet of everyone else.
Javascript works well for what it was intended to do: adding dynamic functionality to webpages. It only has problems when it's used for something it was not intended to do like building web-based applications or the Flash-like animations of HTML5. These are very different use cases, and I don't think one language to cover them all is a good idea. Developing new languages for the new web technologies is the way to go.
They don't want to start to war, but as the wars in the Middle East are about to end the US military sector needs another reason to justify its massive funding.

Free market never really works well with critical infrastructure.
Energy can't be used for work, only energy difference can. If they didn't radiate away the captured sunlight they would overheat very quickly.

So tea is still safe. Now if only there was a safe alternative to masturbation I wouldn't have to worry about my vision at all.

So you want them to track your opting out without tracking you? Also, browser synchronisation is not that hard.

You can opt out from Google, my dear shill.
Oh, didn't see them the first time. But if they are that small, they should need some protection against radiation or micrometeoroids.

In what way is this company Finnish?
Yeah, people are assholes cuz they don't use their real names on Faceb...oh wait.
Why not just admit that they've found the unbreakable DRM? Online authentication is a solved problem.
It doesn't sound as sensational after reading TFA.

Dubai is not a real country just a state in the Emirates.

Only on electric devices.

The problem in this case is not that piracy is illegal but that it's disproportionatly punished.
