Again they are comparing Apple delivered to customer numbers and Android shipping wholesale numbers. Many of those are junk tablets that are never. In addition Apple reported higher numbers in an SEC regulated report that Gartner used, Apple says 74 million, Gartner used the figure of 70 million.
Many things. Besides fraud laws. Can they sell more power then there generating capacity? Electricity purchases are on paper, they cant pay cash for electricity to mask who purchased it.
Read the submission. It is long and the meat is at the end.
The Obama administration refused to use laws related to subsidized imports to stop off-shoring. Now the visual artists have some real legal ground to stand on to compel the administration to stop or tariff subsidized overseas work.
I think the goal is to make it so they just need to test them if certain landing conditions are met. That will take a bit. First they need to inspect a few sets after they land and make sure they match expectations. Then after that with engine out capability they should just be able to test them in the end without rebuilding much at all.
The 85 mile range is not enough. I would not be able to use it for much of my driving. If it had 125 miles range it would be fine. That 40 miles is a HUGE difference in terms of usability.
Recovering the first stage (not this time but maybe this year) will make a huge difference in cost. Saving the 9 engines on the first stage alone is huge.
It is hard to re-purpose it. The best thing to do would be to stop and preserve it the way it is or finish key parts that are already paid for or nearly complete. The only people who might use it would be SPACEX but considering the location that is not too likely. SPACEX would need to change enough stuff around that the work should be halted until there is a known need.
Yes. When you see the story that says Bitcoin on the title, do not click on it.
I feel the same way about all of these gun related stories as you do about the Bitcoin ones but it is no big deal. Just ignore them. It is not like SPAM in your email box that might cause a phone notification or fill up your inbox. Slashdot is no your inbox.
Yes, I am into Bitcoin and as long as I knew it was not going to be taken by someone else I might not rush to move it either. I might wait until it gets up to a couple hundred. This is really not a necessary Bitcoin story as we have so many others.
It is now the norm in Maryland to pre-treat roads before almost any snow/sleet event. I am not sure what they use but three even lines per lane of white stuff about an inch wide. It appears before almost every snow/sleet event on roads like I95 and 695 and many of the larger thoroughfares.
Stuff like this is just going to happen. It is pointless to buy all of the equipment needed to fight snow for Atlanta as it won't pay off. The city had to make a call and they used their best available data. They were wrong. If they err on the other side and are constantly making the more conservative call money will also be lost.
Schools, churches and even the Home Depot acted as overnight shelters for people who were stuck. The only thing they could really have done is had a traffic team (cops and tow trucks) that understands traffic better and unsnarled key positions and TRIED to keep vehicles moving. Not easy.
Banks either won't let them or have made it near impossible for some. Those people have been abandoned by the banking industry.
If you have a negative balance at a bank like Bank of America they PILE on the fees. Instead of one bounce fee they go high to low to get the most number possible. Then they charge for each day negative. If you do not fix it soon you could owe hundreds or even thousands in fees. They then keep this on file and here is the problem... They share it with other banks and REQUIRE it all be paid back before you can open a new account almost anywhere.
So if you feel morally wronged by a bank charging unfair fees and refuse to pay, you exist outside of the banking system.
The progress in things like the Glass will be to fix the most obvious problem, the fact that it is so obvious. The next generation will look more like regular glasses. Or there may be multiple versions each with a different look so it is not so obvious what it is. This will NOT fix the privacy problem for non Glass users but only make it worse.
True! The cost of driving has risen. Mandatory insurance plus the price of gas and harder to repair old cars all contribute. I am not saying a teen cannot learn to fix cars, but more tools are needed then ever. I could have changed most wearing parts of my Delta-88 (teenage car) with tools my dad had lying around.
I was in a theater the other day and someone was doing that. They were directly in my line of view but it was during the previews. I thought about saying something but also felt it could lead to a confrontation. They put it away as soon as the lights dimmed and never took it back out.
Oh, and it was a huge phablet. Maybe I should have said something.:)
What if a seller (legal in it's own country) sells mp3's/videos through a website that allows worldwide customers and takes Bitcoin for it. The seller never registers with the government of Japan. The buyer avoids the tax, the seller saves credit card fees and chargebacks. Only the government of Japan looses.
Once you get something to 60,000 ft you can design the nozzle to be 20% more efficient for that altitude and higher vs one that was efficient at lower altitudes. This gives you a pretty big advantage other then the height and that rocket can take you all the way to space. Now you are only throwing out one stage and have a rocket that can carry a higher mass vs it's size to orbit.
There are hundreds of alt-coins. The vast majority of them bring nothing to the table at all. This is another one of those coins, not even worth discussing.
Of the hundreds of alt-coins only two are really worth even discussing, Namecoin and Litecoin. Litecoin being the second largest market cap and being ASIC hostile keeps more of the coin generation distributed and still has enough security to be usable. Namecoin is a good idea but basically is an unfinished work.
Why put them on the car? Put 10x the panels on the canopy and run a WIRE to the car to charge it. The panels could go to the grid if the car is not present. The weight savings will help the car, they will be cheaper panels for the wattage on the canopy and you can have a real amount of them. Panels on top of the car will often be wasted being covered by trees, parking garages and being at a less then optimum angle.
First place the moon far away. Next introduce a large gravity well around earth. Then make sure there is a vacuum on the moon and the only source of power is the sun.

And drives it into a pier with many people.

Ok. The Tesla S is the best vehicle that does not require either a ground support team, a special license or a two man crew.

While that was a good video, it needed the Blade Runner enhance scene to be complete.

That will avoid a scramble for a long time.
You would be in a very unusual spot to use electricity burned vs through a heat pump or fossil fuel. In most of those spots they use wood or oil.
