I actually responded to a telephone survey on this topic a few days ago (here in Canada). At the end, my basic point to the person taking the survey was "Why in God's name would I pay someone to show me advertising? Get the advertising down to 2 to 3 minutes an hour, and we'll talk." Instead, I have Netflix and Prime for watching what I can, and Usenet to grab everything else that isn't on Prime or Netflix.
Every time I travel and wind up watching the TV in Hotel rooms, it just boggles my mind at how people can put up with so much advertising.
You'd be surprised at how well RDP works over high latency connections. I have to admin a set of windows servers at the far end of a satellite link, and once you get the hang of it it really isn't all that bad. Yes, you're clicking and typing a little ahead of what you see on screen, but all in all, it's tolerable.
No, and the rockets don't have anywhere near the performance required to do this. The Parker solar probe will take an enormous rocket to launch a small craft in order to be able to get relatively close to the sun, and to do that it will use multiple gravity assists from Venus to slow down.
That depends on whether you're in an area that actually depends on fossil fuels for electrical power. British Columbia, Quebec, and significant chunks of Ontario do not. They're either on Hydro Electric power or on Nuclear (in the case of Ontario and Quebec).
A credit union can do a lot of what a "proper bank" does. One of the main difference is that instead of being insured under the FDIC they are insured by the NCUA.
And in other parts of the world, there's even less difference. Canadian credit unions are insured by the same deposit insurance systems as the major banks, can issue mortgages, loans, credit lines, etc... the only time it's gotten a little dicey has been doing large international wire transfers, but then the credit union system has their own "Bank" that they can use for these purposes.
My experience has been that RDP is far more performant and reliable than X11 over the satellite links I have to deal with compared to X11 or VNC. Not as good as mosh, but we're talking GUI here.
Why not just require a minimum hold time of, say, 30 seconds? That would pretty much put the HFTs out of business, and wouldn't significantly harm institutional and individual investors.
I'll be honest, I don't know much about what happens in single family homes, as I've lived in condos for the past 20 years, but in our underground parking, there's the landfill bin, the corrugated cardboard bin, two glass bins, two paper, two containers, and an organics, for a 43 unit building.
By getting rid of single stream recycling, as well as deposits on beverage containers.
The primary recycling organization in British Columbia, Canada, and still sell this stuff to China. Why? Because the level of contamination is within their standards.
This is achieved through a couple of mechanisms:
First, we do not have single stream recycling. People are forced to sort their plastic containers from their glass from their paper from their organics. It's easy, wherever you are in public that has recycling bins, there's always a bin for each.
Secondly, there are deposits on all non-essential beverage containers. Pretty much everything other than milk has a deposit ranging from $0.05 for a 355ml pop can to $0.20 for 2L pop bottles. There's also an environmental tax that's collected at the time of sale, ranging between $0.01 for the can to $0.16 for a gable-top juice carton. This also extends to the stupidity that is bottled water, and so forth, and represents an enormous portion of the plastic waste.
Thirdly, beer bottles are collected, washed, and refilled. Breweries big and small can all sign up for the program, and get clean Industry Standard Bottles delivered to them. They paste on their labels, fill, and cap with custom twist-off caps, and sell to the consumer. On average, a bottle will make it through the system 10 times before it breaks or is lost.
So yeah, it can be done, people just need to get off their asses and do it.
The airspace closures vary in location and shape depending on the intended destination orbit. The closures are noticeably different between an ISS launch and a GTO launch, never mind other orbits.
The bigger issue is the impact the launches have on maritime trade. The launches out of Florida have closure areas over some pretty significant shipping lanes.
2 miles of alttiude is rounding error. Spaceflight isn't about altitude, it's about velocity. Launching from a higher elevation doesn't gain you anything significant, it's rounding error compared to the diameter of the earth. It's much safer to launch from a coastline, where if something goes wrong, you're just dropping it in the ocean.
Many rocket launches have strict launch requirements. To efficiently reach the ISS, the launch window for the rocket is instantaneous. If it launches late, it's going to wind up in the wrong orbit, and take much longer to reach the ISS. It's a similar story for many other launches, such as those that are launching into sun synchronous orbits.
Yeah, but Telephone Company Central Offices have always tended to be windowless bunkers parked in plain sight. Often with Microwave systems on their roof as a backup to terrestrial lines.
As a Canadian if never trust anyone who wants to take my card... Up here the server just brings the pin pad to your table, sets up the transaction and you do everything else, your card never leaves your possession. Much better that way.
Other than home-brew, beer is rarely carbonated using secondary fermentation. Even at my local brew-pub, the carbonation as served at the tap, is done through mechanical carbonation of the product tanks. Also storing the beer under CO2 dramatically extends the period of time that it will stay fresh in the kegs and/or serving tanks.
The only time you see secondary fermentation used in mass market is in specialty brews, cask festivals, and similar specialty beer types. Otherwise it's just too unpredictable.
The only way to eliminate so-called "illegal immigration" is to bring the other countries up to a development level where people have hope that their children will be better off. You don't see many Canadians sneaking into the US. No matter what you do at the border, no matter what laws and systems you put in place, people will still come even on the most faint hope that they will be better off.
And herein is why someone working for Uber and the like is not a contractor. They do not have the ability to negotiate the level of compensation. It's take it or leave it on Uber's part, with no room for negotiation.
What you can do is copyright the program that produces said font, and PostScript fonts are a program.
That said, there's nothing stopping you from taking a printed version of said font and clean rooming your own rendition of it, other than your lack of skill.
That said, I'm shocked, shocked to find out, the most adorable country in the world accepts only about 10% of the immigrants seeking to enter (legally)...
This is for P.R. Status given for family reunification purposes. Permanent Resident status is roughly equivalent to the US Green Card.
Two words: "Situational Awareness". Stop at a red light, fiddle with your phone. You have now just lost awareness of what's going on in the intersection. Light turns green, you miss it, person behind you taps their horn. Quick: did the person turning left make it out of the intersection, is the elderly lady still in the crosswalk? Unless you're far more disciplined than 99% of the population you're not likely going to take the time to see what's going on, you're just going to react to the person honking at you.
That's why you don't fuck with your phone at a stop light.

So...it was the Russians who sent all those radical Third World migrants to Europe?
Yes. Through their support of Assad the butcher, and other destabilizing conflicts in developing nations. It's economic warfare by refugee.

Uh, this is why you have Remote App stuff?

There were air conditioned sprung structures on all the larger FOBs and so forth throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. Those suckers are tough.
Eh I've been a pax on tactical landings in a C130 and various helicopters. I'm pretty sure that has high altitude airports beat.

JWST will be launching on Ariane 5 out of Kourou, French Guiana. The launch is part of the ESA's contribution to the project.
Yeah, but at least the JWST is useful.
