I don't think the parent poster understands the risks that global warming has to fossil fuel companies like Exxon and Koch Industries. These companies entire market capitalization is based on the in the ground resources. If those in ground resources will never be extracted than Exxon and Koch Industries aren't worth 10% of their current market value.
If the companies executives knew about this risk that fuels in the ground will never be extracted and failed to tell investors they've committed fraud. The kind of investing fraud that bankrupts companies and can get people sent to jail. As an aside this is what the divestment movement is about, people want their retirement accounts and government monies removed from investing in these companies because at some point when the market actually realizes all that carbon that makes Exxon and Koch Industries worth Billions will never be extracted those stock prices are going to crash and people invested in them are going to lose their shirts.
She was in there to repair the robots. We haven't developed robots yet that can diagnose and repair problems in other robots. That work will likely remain with Humans until AI is sufficient to accomplish these tasks and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Africa didn't get its own web address. Some company registered the Africa Top Level Domain (TLD). This company has total control over the TLD and likely has no relationship to the continent or any of the countries in it. In all likelyhood the registrant for the TLD is a European or American company hoping to make big bucks charging people to use the TLD. In 10 years 99.999999999% of the domains on this TLD will not even involve an African company or individual.
Government often doesn't have the option (legally) to withhold payment. That you can't see the reasons why it's like that shows you aren't informed enough to comment.
Intel has not struggled in the phone business because the processors suck. It's because they handicap the processor and put limits on their use to try to avoid cannibalizing desktop and server sales.
It's those restrictions that have kept them out of the market, not performance or cost. Intels Atom line could have taken over the phone business if Intel had released all those restrictions, but they likely would have lost the desktop market to them as well which would have decimated their profits. They decided it was better to lose the far less profitable market than cannibalize their primary sales.
They won't. There seems to be some belief among younger folks that ARM is somehow special and that instruction set is more important than anything else. The reality is that is simply NOT true. Instruction set is essentially meaningless. Intel chips haven't used x86 internally since the first Pentium chips. The x86 is decoded and fed to the internal processor by a decoder that uses less than 123K transistors (not even 0.1% of the die). Because x86 is nothing more than an abstraction layer at this point this allows Intel to use whatever is the new hotness inside their CPU.
Even if you believe non of that consider this. There have been at least 6 companies that have tried to produce ARM servers that dropped the effort or abandoned the project after the test hardware was produced. The simple reality was that even with brand new top of the line designs they couldn't beat Intel in either raw performance or performance per watt. Every attempt has failed and that was using Linux where the software can be fully optimized for ARM and all software recompiled for it. Expect nothing like that on Windows and just like Windows RT it will be a colossal failure.
Intel will keep winning, they are literally 2 process nodes ahead than every other silicon manufacturer, their CPU's could be two generations old and still beat top of the line processors from other manufacturers just because of the process node advantage.
You forgot to mention that ZTE is owned partially by the state and one of the listed owners is leadership of the PROC Army. The equivalent US example would be if the US Government created Cisco and provided all the investment money and one third of the company was owned by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
ZTE is for all intents and purposes a Chinese state actor and should be viewed with suspicion.
But this gets to the issue nicely - her private email server existed to bypass FOIA requests. Which was illegal. Period.
This is an outright lie.
She used a private email server for precisely one reason. She's old and she doesn't understand technology. She had somehow learned to use a blackberry and it was the only thing she new how to use and she didn't understand the technology enough to reliably get the right account if two had been configured. So she did the only logical thing given those constraints which was use the server she'd been using all along which worked perfectly with her blackberry device.
Never attribute to malice that which can easily be attributed to lack technological prowess. Anyone over the age of about 45 vast segments of the population simply don't get technology like email, cell phones, mail servers, etc. You get up to Clinton's age in the mid 70's and these people were in their 40's when the first IBM PC came out. It's the same reason the secret service and NSA can't pry that Android phone out of Trumps hand's, he knows how to use that one device and likely couldn't learn a new one if you put him in a month long course.
Sexual harassment is nearly non-existent in the fortune 500 precisely because these companies have learned. They have zero tolerance policies towards this behavior and if you do it you will be written up and depending on the severity you might get marched to the door by security. Management does not tolerate this behavior because it can't be tolerated, the only solution to this type of behavior is immediate punishment.
I don't work in an IT field, I work in an engineering field with very small numbers of women and there is little to no such behavior in my field because it's immediately punished and the offender is notified that they do it again and they will be looking for a new job. The problem is that Silicon valley and IT in particular are full of a bunch of juvenile idiots that apparently can't keep their dick in the pants or control their impulses. Like the rest of the fortune 500 they WILL learn their lesson through bad publicity and lawsuits and eventually the behavior will stop because the people that do it won't be working for them anymore just like the rest of the business world.
This is only happening because the DOJ blocked ATT's purchase of T-mobile. If they'd been allowed to purchase T-Mobile then ATT wouldn't have had to compete against an upstart network that's gaining subscribers by stealing them from ATT. This is why regulation is so important because without it ATT would have used their deep pockets to finance purchasing a competitor to eliminate competition and increase prices in coordination with Verizon. Under the Trump administration that purchase would have likely been approved to the detriment of every consumer.
It doesn't matter if "it's your data". If there is a legitimately issued supeona and you don't turn over what it requests you are guilty of contempt of court and you can't appeal contempt of court.
That depends entirely on the situation. In the case of an active shooter (which is what most of these calls claim) the police are obligated to storm in to save lives. After Columbine these policies were changed because if the police had moved in immediately they would have saved a lot of lives. Instead they did what you suggest as the standard procedure at the time, but that procedure doesn't work with a shooter whose aiming to kill people and doesn't care if they live or die. In that situation the only way to save lives is to storm the building.
There isn't a good solution to these problems that doesn't involve some major changes to the internet that break all anonymity or completely disconnecting the internet from the phone network. Neither is a viable option. Unfortunately SWATting needs to be handled with law enforcement, I guarantee that the number of these incidents will go down dramatically when they start visibly putting these people in jail and extraditing people from overseas that do it. That 14 year old kid might think twice if they know they will get caught. But this would mean the police would need to dedicate investigative money to these crimes, and that's not going to happen as long as drug crime is far more profitable to the police.
There is nothing more insidious and anti-free speech than claiming that someone else is required to provide you the soapbox to stand on.
Saying that Youtube or anyone else must pay to provide a platform for someone else is as about not free as you can get. I don't' care that their big or that it gives them market power. Your right to free speech ends at your nose, no one else is obligated to help you speak. You are literally demanding that these companies provide the soapbox at their own expense and that's wrong in so many ways and you probably don't even realize how evil that suggestion is.
If you think there should be a platform where anyone can say anything and no one can take it down then you should support the government building the platform, not forcing some private company to provide the soapboxes and pay for it all.
If he believes they lied and caused him financial loss he can take them to court.
There is nothing more insidious and anti-free speech than demanding that someone else carry your speech and pay to have it broadcast to the masses. youtube, disney and everyone else has no obligation to carry his material.
More propaganda, you people will blame Obama for everything, even things he had nothing to do with. This plant is going to be shut down because gas is cheaper, it has very little to do with Obama era regulations. It should have never been exempted from the Mercury rule for more than a decade (the exemption goes away in 2018 so they'll need the scrubbers in 2 years). The CO2 regulations Obama added on top had very little impact to this, it was driven primarily by costs, in particular the combined phase gas plants that are super efficient compared to this awful 50's era coal plant and have cheaper fuel.
The utilities were going to pay the costs to upgrade the plant until gas prices cratered and with wind/solar dropping so fast if they authorize it for another 20 years they'll be losing money on it for 18 of those years. Navajo generating station was dead when gas prices fell and it's about fucking time. It's poisoned two generations of people in the southwest with heavy metals and put haze in the grand canyon since it was built.Good riddance.
This plant is one of the worst polluters in the west. It was exempted from the mercury limits rule when they went into effect and it's responsible for 90% of the air pollution and haze in the Grand Canyon. This plant should have been shut down as soon as viable alternatives existed and market forces are finally doing it in.
There is a reason the ACLU has that border zone map on their website and it's to draw attention to the issue the courts have allowed to happen. There is solid supreme court precedent on the CBP having the right to basically search anything they want at entry and the only way it's going to change is if people get mad enough that congress takes that power away from CBP.
Quinoa is 70% Carbohydrate. Wheat and Rice are about 80% Carbohydrate. In addition Quinoa only has a few percentages higher protein than Wheat and Rice.
Most people who make statements like yours don't know this and spout mindless nonsense they heard someone say without any personal understanding of what they are talking about. Quinoa like any other grain has very high percentages of Carbohydrate. If your goal is to avoid Carbs you should avoid grains entirely and get the carbs you eat from Vegetables, not grains.
It wouldn't surprise me if an immune response triggered the accumulation of certain organic markers in the breath, after all one of the first symptoms of an on coming illness for many people is a bad taste in their mouths right before the illness sets in. But like you I don't see any possible way they could differentiate immune responses to identify what's causing it. The bodies immune responses to disease is virtually identical regardless of the vector within the broad categories such as virus, bacteria and parasite. You'd have no way to identify if the immune response is due to a cold, the flu or even Ebola unless it's detecting an actual virus in the breath, not just an immune marker.
As with all science related news, the proof will be in duplication by other researchers and consensus in the scientific community. Until that point it should be at most an interesting possibility and nothing more.
This type of testimony on his potential power output sounds like all the other pseudoscience that they've used to convict people in the past. It's horseshit, if a 40 year old out of shape mother can pick a car up off her kid in a moment of extreme anxiety due to an adrenaline release then anything the doctor speculates about power output is just a bunch of horseshit. Adrenaline is there precisely to provide enhanced power output, mental acuity and reaction times far above your normal output in times of stress so you can avoid being killed.
If the guy can get a decent lawyer he should be able to beat this "evidence" but he probably can't afford a good lawyer and will get railroaded.
