It creates a lot of destruction, and it's horrible that it's been responsible for crashes, but they aren't meant to be a model for the entire financial industry. They provide a little bit of value, in the form of increased liquidity in the market.
This is true of arbitrage (exploiting price differences for the same commodity in different markets by buying in one and simultaneously selling a tiny fraction higher in another) in general, but HFT is wasting a large amount of computer horsepower, network speed and the services of innumerable highly paid B-school graduates in the effort of wringing the low-order decimal places of value out of the arbitrage process. It contributes absolutely nothing to the economy while diverting resources from problems that matter.
Because when my wife lets the end of the roll slip back into the box, she will have to mail it back to the company to get it unraveled, rather than just waiting until I get home so I can do it.
Allegiant announced that will do the same thing, and charge passengers a Gee-Whiz Fee for the privilege of being on a plane with experimental technology.
Spirit announced that on each flight, straws will be drawn to determine which three passengers are fed into the fuel cells, generating power and saving weight at the same time. Next of kin will not get a refund on their tickets, however.

You would just see a black screen, of course, because the system wouldn't have power.
Greens are protesting this proposed line because of the possibility that a leak will release Canadians into the environment, endangering the Nebraska sandhill crane.
Soo.....what's the benefit of having it below water, offshore?
I'm assuming, heat dissipation. I have a thought: could the column of steam rising out of the sea above a really big server farm be usable, given an onshore prevailing wind, to increase rainfall in dry places like California?
"Given the popularity of the sport and this game, it has to have occurred to those with a bone to pick versus the Americans what a powerful blow this would be."
In this world there is religion, fundamentalist religion, and the Super Bowl. Perhaps the only reason why such an attack has not taken place is that everyone knows it would result in the immediate erasure of the Middle East. All of it.
The design is for reduced pressure, not a vacuum. Because the capsules 'fly' aerodynamically, rather than by maglev, it can't be a vacuum. The idea is to reduce the forward air pressure to a reasonable value.
Kroger Markets has solar-paved one of its huge Fry's Marketplace parking lots in Phoenix (I-17 at Bell Rd). But unlike Royale's daffy scheme, they have done it the right way, by using the solar panels to shade the cars, rather than having them in the pavement. Covered parking is precious in Phoenix, and a perk generally reserved for neurosurgeons.
Because comets are fragile, you would want to attach a high specific impulse, low thrust device like an ion engine. The key factor is lead time; given enough of it, you can divert practically anything.
I am not suggesting moving water for Pluto to any distant place, only thatPluto is yet another handy place where it can be found.
Water for Mars will come from those handy snowballs that keep whizzing past the inner planets. Identify one going in basically the right direction, and nudge its eccentric orbital ellipse to collide with one limb of the planet.
In space we seem to be finding water, water everywhere. And hydrocarbons, popping up in the most unexpected parts of the solar system. By the time our robots have mapped everything out, there won't be anything we will need to haul up from the terrestrial gravity well besides ourselves and the first iteration of tools-to-make-the-tools.

The bad news for Apple is that too few people are saying that right now.

Old Matsumoto had a farm
One-zero-one-zero-one!

Would those be the same people who were going to sue for carbon warming causing eternal drought?
" But I understand that lunar landers are typically pretty tough and tasteless, no matter how you prepare them."
But what the hipsters hate is that if you boil them first, they still taste better than kale.
Because all the programming languages were declared frozen for all time after Kernighan & Ritchie. No further innovation will ever occur.
"I was surprised because I keep forgetting how easy it is to dispose of workers in the US."
Whereas Europe now has all the new workers it would ever want, but in 2016 there are just not that many beheading jobs to go around.
"I'm in doubt whether they are just incompetent or this is a plot to make go and buy a new Windows 10 computer. Either way they're a POS corporation IMHO"
(a) Yes, and (b), no. It's a plot to sell Apples.

Coming soon to computers in your area: a more consumer-friendly, untraceable Torrent interface.
"And what the hell is a stone?"
Furthermore, the 'stone' is used only for weighing people. Not for weighing anything else.

Part of the deal involves exiling the vulture Stateside, with a scholarship to a decent law school.

How much profit does Tesla make without the ZEV subsidies and credits added to the bottom line? Is Tesla even profitable at that point?
Agreed that subsidies suck, but Tesla gets the same subsidies in any given field as any other manufacturer in that field does.

" Apple is dead."
The bad news for Apple is that too few people are saying that right now.
