They did give something up, it's called quality of life. We can manufacture all the cheap shit they do, too, we just need to give up clean air, clean water, spacious homes, etc...
I am not even sure about that. Many companies find themselves forced to go to China for manufacturing. The US and Europe simply don't have the production capacity to meet the goals in a timely manner. They didn't give up quality of life. It was already low to begin with and it is improving. Soon enough, if the trend continues, China will have sucked all the mass-production industry from the west and can start increasing the prices to improve their quality of life over ours. And once our means of production are gone, it is hard to get back.
I don't know about the fishes but I am very suspicious about the first study. CO2 is deadly at about 4% concentration (40000 ppm). That's because the partial pressure is too high to evacuate the CO2 produced by our body properly. But around 1000 ppm, that's such a small fraction of the deadly concentration that I find such an important effect surprising. It is a natural product of our metabolism, it doesn't accumulate and we already have the appropriate biological response to high levels of CO2 (breathing faster). I suppose a slight increase in CO2 levels may have an effect on people who are not used to it but I don't believe that toxicity from atmospheric CO2 is something to worry about.
I don't know why they mentioned internet in the summary. This tech is about ethernet, presumably dedicated networks like the CANBUS in your car, it is not about the internet.
I am a programmer and I don't deal with it more than common sense requires me to. I have a boss, that's his job. He is better at dealing with customer demands, I am better at programming. That's why he hired me, and that's why I prefer this to being self employed.
This is a different matter. When a kid is at home, his is under his parents or guardian responsibility. By spying on the kids at home, the school violated the privacy of whoever is taking care of the kid.
If you are like many people here, you are using someone else's magic to determine if what you are looking is an ad or not and filter accordingly. A bullshit filter is not that different from an ad or a spam filter.
This doesn't smell like junk science. No conspiracy theory, no attempt at selling something, no secret device, no patent, nothing like that. We are far from Rossie's E-Cat here.
The most likely reason it is a "leak" rather than a publication is most likely because one must be very cautious publishing such extraordinary results. From a scientific point of view, there is nothing wrong with it and if it turned out to be a simple but honest mistake than so be it. But the public, hyped by unrealistic claims made by the media, will be much less forgiving. We had a good example with the FTL neutrinos case.
And clearly, there is something wrong going on with the EM drive. And it is extremely unlikely to be the fundamental laws of physics. However it doesn't mean that we couldn't get something useful out of it, and we won't know unless we try. Even if the only result is another page in the "how not do design an experiment" book, all is not lost.
Usually, AI is when computers imitate human intelligence. With chess now, it is the opposite : humans imitate computers.
Even more striking is the way they do it : they pick a subset of the solution, hoping that they can make the best use of it, hence the secrecy. In most practical AIs (ex: self-driving cars), this is the opposite : the AI is only able to do a subset of the task, using a human for the edge cases.
A lot of them came in just after WW2, providing the much needed workforce for rebuilding the country. Yeah, they kept their islamic culture but they did the job so they got the citizenship they deserved. You have to understand that they did France a great service. Problem is : now there is nothing left to rebuild, so they lost many of the jobs they were for in the first place, which resulted in poverty, crime, etc... What they didn't lose however is their ability to make children. Not only they tend to make more children due to their culture but they also took advantages of the government incentives. They are the reason why the birth rate in France is higher than in most western countries. And most of the "immigrants" that are so much criticized right now aren't. They are born in France, often from parents who are French citizens. France is their home country.
The situation is much more complex here. The thing with GPS is that they simply refuse to talk to you if altitude>18km and speed>1000kts. It is just a line of code in the GPS chip firmware.
For the drone thing, you need a database. You also don't want to simply block reception over prisons. In fact, you want to keep location data so that the drone can effectively avoid it, rather than act like it was in a tunnel and switch to dead reckoning. It is a much higher level requirement, and it is much easier to circumvent.
And what differences have they seen? The situation is better now in the UK than it was in 1975 in pretty much all metrics that matter (life expectancy, education, homicide rate, etc...). It must be because of the EEC/EU right? No, it is simply that the world is getting better (yes, seriously). What influence did the EU have? I don't know. But people who want to leave the EU because "they have seen the difference" either want their personal privileges back or are misguided at best.
We could make a phone with zero bezel but it would require UI adaptations. It should be considered that taps at the edges of the screen could be accidental and shouldn't be registered. Interactive elements shouldn't be placed near the edge for this reason. The edge could be used for swipes if at least some of the path is within the active area. In the meantime, virtual bezels could be used for apps that don't respect these guidelines.
And yes, bezels are a feature. Just look at tablets, compared to phones, they have huge bezels, that's because the size constraints are less so they can give more area for gripping. Compare the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 with the Galaxy Mega. The Tab screen is just a bit larger (7" vs 6.3") but the bezels are disproportionately larger.
Replace "computer virus" with "virus" and "network shut-down" with "quarantine" and you get a nice scenario just a few days late for Halloween. Maybe we could add a few zombies to spice things up.
Sure but GEMA has a few things to make it even worse : - If you play music from independent musicians, you have to prove that not a single one of them is affiliated to GEMA. If you fail to do it for even a single title, you pay full price. Guilty unless proven innocent. - Artists affiliated to GEMA have to pay GEMA fees for playing their own music. They may get a refund in some conditions. - GEMA is governed by its full members, and only the most financially successful artists can become full members, the others have no say. Unsurprisingly, full members also get the lion share of the benefits.
I suppose celebrity endorsement work better on most people than actual scientific data. Especially considering that global warming isn't something that shows clearly. It is a trend that is only apparent after a bit of number crunching, and the effect is much smaller than natural weather variations.
Interestingly, Mozilla's FirefoxOS is all about interacting with the device within the browser framework. The point of FirefoxOS is to make an OS that only runs a web browser, all user programs are web apps. So all hardware features, including the battery meter, have to be accessed by a web api.
Google ad revenue : $75 billion in 2015 GMail active users : 1 billion
So it the service was paid for instead of being ad supported, it would have cost about $75/year, or $6.25/month. That's a very rough estimate and it assumes every user would pay instead of giving up their data and receiving ads. But it is very far from $150/month.
AFAIK, information about drugs isn't illegal. Erowid is on the open web since 1995 and contains pretty much everything you may want to know about drugs, including how to make them. Drug marketplaces, a dark web favorite, are illegal.
Probably a good for solution against global warming too. Tides heat up the earth, so does the solar energy reflected back to earth. No moon, no problem, let's just build that death star and blow up the moon. What about the debris and all that stuff you say? The Ewoks survived, so why can't we?
Blood donations forms typically include very sensitive questions like your number of sex partners, if it is not a clear "are you cheating?". With Ashley Madison, where the mere presence of an account is a very weak proof of infidelity. In fact, considering the number of actual women present of the site, the chance of a husband cheating his wife through this site is almost zero (unless bots count). But if you answer "yes" to one of the sensitive questions in a blood donor questionnaire, it can be considered a definite proof.

Great, because your money isn't looking back either.
That's relativistic mass.
I thought is was an outdated concept and that for most scientists mass means rest mass.

They cost as much as actual missiles too.
