Material was tested by Ministry of Defense, they used 4kt nuclear bomb equivalent. Goal of material was to disperse heat (thermal energy), provided it withstands the shockwave. There is also many more details available on lasers (tested energy), view of the inventor on patents (from an interview)...
Have you actually used MX Player? While VLC has huge support for technical things (formats etc), MX Player has better handling (UI and "experience") on Android, it was also much earlier than VLC. Think of MX Player as "VLC for Android". Ads are displayed with free version, you can purchase an unlocked version that doesn't show them. It's one of the applications I find worth paying for (value for money).
There is a large corporate world where people have to run Windows 10 for most of their work (corporate standard, applications etc), but need to do things on Linux side as well (not their main task though). Putting all those people on Linux Desktop would be actually counter-productive.
Naive estimation to give you a starting point: World's total mined gold is estimated at 150-200 kilotons (World Gold Council). Ship's load is estimated at 200 tons (article). Gold from ship would increase this by 0.1% (math). Current gold price is about 1200$/ounce (KitCo). Price decrease could be therefore in order of -10$/ounce (math). 0$ if we accept that gold in ship has already been accounted for in "total mined gold" number. Maybe a bit higher drop if you calculate proportion of gold in circulation, though Russia would claim (and store) half of recovered gold.
No idea why this question was modded "insightful".
Google was until now collecting your phone number directly from you, if you had a Google account.
Now if the sender wants to use "confidential" mode on email to you (apparently regardless if you have gmail or other account), he has to provide Google your phone number so that SMS passcode can be sent.
Clever marketing people just bought a bunchload of useful private information input by "Mechanical Turks" paid with "security". As already pointed out many times here it is painfully easy to screenshot those "confidential" emails and to forward them as picture files.
"Legacy" POP3 and IMAP will eventually be disabled, as they don't offer full range of modern features to the minority of users. It will be likely justified by lack of security (2FA?).
They _said_ they did not find. Saying is not the same as not finding, especially for politics/espionage/... Basic example - sometimes you leave a known bug to disseminate wrong information.
Apparently during ignition TEA-TEB is kept running until engine parameters are within the "I am working correctly" range. Consumption changes depending on various conditions such as engine temperature or air speed, which were different for the center core. SpaceX has a lot of experience restarting those engines in Falcon 9 conditions, but this is still rocket science - theory is not always good enough.
Remember how a Falcon rocket ran out of hydraulic fluid for steering during sea landing? They had not enough fluid (it is open system) as well.
BTW - information about running out of TEA/TEB was provided by Elon Musk already right after the launch, during the first press conference. This is old news.
This is dated news by now - McDonald's announced this (self-service kiosks in USA) in 2015. They already had experience with such kiosks installed in France or Poland, and by now Spain and other countries.
From a consumer practical point of view: - there are typically 2x-3x more kiosks (6-10) than people accepting orders previously (1-5). Kiosks work 24h (except for failures), so any flash-crowd (a tour coming in) can be absorbed even at time when human crew would have a reduced staff (sure, you will still wait for the actual food, but not for ordering. - there is much more time to make your selection without queue peer pressure. With tradidional setup some people act as if they have never been to McDonald and ask details about everything holding the hungry queue behind them. Some people need 5 minutes at the counter to decide if they want large or superlarge fries. With kiosks you can take your time - they effectively eliminate head-of-line blocking. - time to receive food has decreased by 1/3rd. Average order value increased, probably because customers don't feel bad ordering quadruple big-mac from a machine:-/ - people swarming McDonalds seem to be school-age kids and teens. They have absolutely no problem interacting with kiosk and paying with a contactless bank card (standard here for 10 years), minimum fuss for them. - older people can typically afford (money-wise and health-wise) to eat better food, you don't see that many of them in McDonalds (unless their kids/grandkids drag them there). - queue to order, which was the source of problems when crowded, is now replaced by almost no queue to the kiosks and a crowd of people politely waiting until their order number is displayed. - it seems that the same number of people who were previously accepting orders are still there - they assemble orders and give them out, making the process more efficient. - you can still come up to the counter and interact with a human being as before, should you have a special request, a question, or need assistance with ordering process or the order. - employment has increased since introduction of the ordering kiosks. - social part is still there, kids hang out with each other (or with their phones), they don't need the staff for that. - there is on average 50 employees per restaurant (38 workers, 9 assistant managers, 3 managers) and that number doesn't seem to have fallen in the past 3-4 years. There are still summer jobs (about +10% of workforce).
This could be an interesting move to just let spammers use voicemail that nobody listens to, as a kind of a spam trap.
It might not work in USA, where voicemal is still surprisingly popular. In Europe and Asia especially introduction of GSM has killed voicemail for private use - most people (over 50%, depending on country/study) do not enable it or if it was enabled by default just never bother listening to messages (some have a greeting that says "This is XX voicemail that will never get listened to, please send SMS"). I can't remember when I've last heard anybody say "Hi, please call me back when you hear this message" or similar - except as for a dramatic effect in USA movies/series. Voicemail is too linear and too slow for modern times, just wasting your time ("please press zero to return to main menu, please press seven to..."), even if it still has cultural (and probably legal, like fax) implications in some countries. It's so much simpler and more convenient to use SMS.
On the other hand it's not a good idea to cede anything to the spammers.
There should be a distinction between an engineer (as in any person performing engineering actions or with such knowledge) and a diplomed 'Engineer' (a formal title received upon graduation from specific studies). Similar distinction already exists in Germany and other countries with "Dipl.Ing." or Poland with "mgr inz." - these are formal titles.
Some jobs would require "Dipl.Ing.", you could be still sued for naming yourself "Dipl.Ing." without completing specific education, but you may freely call yourself an engineer.
Some hardware manufacturers seem to be doing so for quite some time, for various reasons. For example Cisco has been equipping its routers with such chips for many years: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/p...
- lack of sworn translation to Ukrainian, so that their client can read it more directly than going through American->Polish->Ukrainian lost-in-translation sequence. (dimissed by judge)
- extremely poor translation of USA documents (150 pages) to Polish. For example movie title "Deadpool" was written literally meaning "A non-living swimming pool". Multiple other sentences make no sense or have a different meaning than USA original. (judge asked lawyers to present all such examples for re-translation)
- lack of access to servers and emails, which contain information neccessary to defense against extradition - they were immediately sent to USA. (rejected, as extradition trial does not determine if there was a crime, only if crime would be punishable in Poland),

Definition of "middle class" used by researchers is ability to spend at least 11$ per day per person.

Sadly it seems that many people prefer to stay in "summer time", which is also supported by "stop changing clocks in October" statement.
This doesn't get rid of DST, it gets rid of time changes, but whether a country is stuck in DST or normal time is a separate matter.
Probably sell driving-related information to insurance companies.
Life expectancy was so low due to very high baby/infant mortality at the time.
Statistics are tricky.
Math is hard, 0.1% of 1200$ is 1$, not 10$.

BASF is not just "a German chemical company", it is THE largest chemical manufacturer in the world, and it's well-known
It is also one of remaining parts of IG Farben concern (of Zyklon B fame), together with Bayer (who purchased Monsanto of Agent Orange and GMO fame).
There already is A LOT of power in A FEW global companies. SF writers were right in their observations from 60 years ago.

That is exactly what democracy is - "rule of the majority".
If you want to avoid it, you should probably move to a non-democratic country, at the risk of succumbing to a tyranny of a much smaller group.

> But In Europe, the average age of new car buyers is already over 50, has been climbing for years.
The widely discussed study is for Germany, not EU and not Europe.
It also only takes into account buyers of _new_ cars (paying full price). Young people tend to buy used cars - they are much cheaper.
Some hardware manufacturers seem to be doing so for quite some time, for various reasons. For example Cisco has been equipping its routers with such chips for many years:

They have a whole process for securely booting such devices:

Given increasing numbers of counterfeit manufactured devices and NSA tricks this is likely going to become more widespread.
