Yeah but it can be just like an IP address. You don't remember it or use it directly. It can also change from time to time, and you can have more than one. I want to contact a person, not a phone. I don't care if that person answers from a phone on a 4G cellular network, or computer on a wired network. Therefore, I couldn't care less about the MSISDN.
The best identifier right now is the email address. It is unique, cross-platform, standardized, free and vendor-neutral. Unlike phone numbers and Facebook.
As a whole it isn't bad and influenced many other constitutions for centuries (therefore was revolutionary in all senses of the word in 1776). However there are many things still wrong with the constitution of the USA. It's gun ownership provision shouldn't be there (no matter if we want to allow gun ownership or not, it shouldn't be in the constitution), the condition that the president must be born into the USA is racist (not all citizens are equal since not all of them can apply to be president), the electoral college as a whole is outdated. As of today, it still fails to protect democracy by allowing unlimited corporate spending in elections.
When the founders of the United States designed the system, there WAS no tax on the individual. No federal income tax. No federal property tax. Zip. Zilch.
And there was no health care, no public education system (perhaps only religious ones, not managed or funded by the government), no interstate highways, no international development, no social security, etc.
Constitution of The United States is NOT some dusty quasi-religious text, it is the design document. It's the Blue prints, and Specs.
The way you talk about it, it IS a quasi-religious text. A country "design" from 1776 is not necessarily still good today. It must evolve, democratically.
That's probably part of it. The Netflix Connect box eliminates much of an ISP's backhaul costs.
We are not talking about a wired ISP here but a wireless provider. Backhaul cost are not significant. The limited (and expensive) resource is the spectrum/towers here and this is where congestion happens. If backhaul was the problem, then they could offer monthly caps as high as wired ISPs (hundreds of GBs per month).
exception would be if a provider blocks high-bandwidth sites in a scarce-bandwidth setting, e.g. when an in-flight wifi blocks Netflix
That's not an exception. It's a violation of net neutrality only possible because in-flight WiFi is a monopoly. Competition would tend to treat all data, no matter if it's Netflix or web browsing, the same.
Because you think a field, forest, street, city or whatever would be there if they didn't opt for solar panels wouldn't absorb any of that heat and reflect 100% of it? That sounds silly.
My smart TV can play HEVC content just fine (using the web browser). I doubt it could do it without any hardware acceleration. Most smart TVs use underpowered smartphone chips.
America still is the whole thing. It just happens that many people also use the word for the United States of America. It's not the only word with more than one meaning.
Per capita emissions are a good measure. In international negotiations, you can't seriously ask someone to reduce CO2 emissions when your own per capita emissions are higher. It's a matter of credibility.
A continent is a convention. Not everyone has the same convention as the number of continents. In some models, America is a continent. Like on the Olympic flag. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
5 C vs. 8 C is not even a meaningful debate concerning human presence on this planet. Either one spells probable extinction of our species.
The human specie wouldn't disappear. We would adapt. It could be a huge regression in standards of living however. That's the whole point of climate agreements. Not doing anything will end-up being more expensive than reducing CO2.
just like a 1000w power supply. Buy a single video card, and a 500w will be enough. Just change the PC after X years, and you will save a lot of money instead of buying an expensive system with quad SLI that you will keep only 1.5X years
It's possible that when the missile was launched, the Russian jet was in Turkey but by the time of impact, missile and jet were over Syria.
Then Turkey is still wrong and they shot down a plane in Syria and they should say so. Currently they just look like amateurs by claiming they shot down a plane in their air space, but didn't recover the pilot who ejected.

Phone numbers are going to die. But Facebook isn't the answer. Any proprietary solution isn't the answer.
Because the EU has been enlarging?
Adblocking is 100% legal. Downloading pirated movies isn't.
They also patented the "bounce" effect of the picture gallery app when you reach the end.

And there's no lack of competitiveness
That's where you are wrong. It's an oligopoly.

the overall effect must be negligible, since 20% of the sun energy is converted to electricity.

Why not? 0.7 vs 3 is a small step. I'd rather have them push higher quality 1080p (as in 10GB per hour) instead.

That's why when someone says in English that Columbus discovered America, he landed in the USA. Oh wait... Words can have more than one meaning.

Even if it's too late for 2 C, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try reducing CO2. 5 C is better than 8 C.
Isn't LLVM/clang all about the license (non-GPL)? Otherwise if clang is good, then we should fork it and make a GPL version of it.
In a high rise residential building, 3x3 meters isn't precise enough. We also need to know elevation.

It's better but I still think NATO could be lying. We will never know.
Yeah, it would be hard for Turkey to falsify this picture...
