Amazon stocks many things, but there are also many items it does not, but other, more specialist online stores do, or offer a better selection of at a better price. Examples include specialist paints and pet food.
Failing fast and often works if and only if you have sufficient capital or revenue. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, and it's been the death of many companies...
I'm old enough. Disliking a person shouldn't be the default response because you dislike their views. Sometimes people have particular views but can be persuaded to change them. Not that I am going to claim that there is an objectively good set of views as to some extent they stem from the set of principles which you hold dear.
You can't necessarily crawl it and put it up elsewhere. If articles in the database were contributed by individuals for the express use for that database and no other purpose then replicating them could be an infringement of copyright. There may be a number of issues like that to be worked out, and apparently this is being looked at.
AI is better at diagnostics in certain areas where the classification task is relatively well-defined, but not necessarily general practice, or recommending a course of treatment. At the moment AI is limited to things such as interpreting a scan and asking a question such as "Is this cancer?". This may, and is likely to, change over time, but I wouldn't overstate it. Indeed, I worked on AI with a doctor who was also working in AI on systems that beat humans in some diagnostic tasks over 20 years ago, and then we worked on cancer detection in scans, and also beat humans about 15 years ago, yet we don't have ubiquitous AI in healthcare, as the tasks are not always so clear-cut.
This is just more of the typical panic over everything that happens.
Well, it's not a given that it will return. If you make people aware of things (which TFA does), then it is more likely to return, so TFA doesn't seem unreasonable, and the loss of federal funding is an accurate summary.
They have plenty of wind. Whist trading that could work to the UK and EU with a big enough tie across the Irish Sea (I am not sure what is there at the moment), it would work better with investment in HVDC. If that's in place Ireland could potentially use solar power from Germany, as Germany gets the sun first. Obviously, this does add a lot of complexity, so there's an increased chance of failure from a putative Europe-wide HVDC, so it doesn't obviate the need for either storage or backup supplies like gas turbines or diesel generators for critical infrastructure.
Solar hot water would probably work reasonably well in Ireland.
In theory there is probably a lot of opportunity for tidal as well, but it would need careful thought not to ruin the beauty of the bays in Ireland.
Ireland has a lot of windy coastline compared to the size of its population. It has the potential to do very well selling energy to other nations in Europe, especially the UK. Brexit may make it a little more complex, but the links to France already exist from the UK, so selling on to the EU via the UK is theoretically possible with more investment in the grid. It could actually be quite a good money spinner.
Hard to believe a whole government of any country would believe in the hoax.
Glaciers seem to be part of the conspiracy, by melting.
To be fair, I don't recall there being any options on my router that looked to be related to child safety, but neither do I know if the tools my ISP offers are purely client-side as I don't have kids. I'd make any kid of mine use Linux anyway, so the tools probably wouldn't work.:)
Many ISPs in the UK offer tools to make (or attempt to make) things safe for kids that parents can turn on and off. That seems to be more useful than a 'kid-safe ISP' as often kids live with adults who like to look at things not meant for kids.
The problem is that you cannot require this though which means that A-level physics can no longer use calculus in problems and so the educational standards of A-level physics has dropped considerably. This is why calculus is far more important at O-level than statistics and probability: you need calculus for A-level subjects.
I don't think A level physics used calculus when I took it. Certainly, given that there was variation in what was taught at O level maths, I am not sure calculus was necessarily universal.
Try the old JMB syllabus - it was definitely on their syllabus!
I took the Oxford syllabus, and it wasn't in that, so that shows there was some variation.
Your logic escapes me completely here. What on earth has age got to do with anything?
If the level of achievement to get an A is not to be a certain score, then presumably it is to be a standard deviation point. In which case if lots of people in one year do well (in an absolute terms), then the score to get an A would be adjusted up. Thus you could legitimately work hard enough to get an A one year, but due to others also doing well, only get a B. But an employer is going to look at the absolute grade, not get out a table to see what everyone else got that year. Achievement is the important thing for an employer, surely, not differentiation.
True, but many of these new strategies end up covering less material vs older methods over the same period of instruction.
In many cases it is different material, rather than less, although to be fair one of the concerns was that the study was wide, but not in sufficient depth so the information was not much retained beyond the exams.
In terms of PISA, there is a requirement to have a lowest common denominator test, it's true, to have a level playing field
How on earth is that a level playing field?
Because it's the same set of tests for all schools in all countries (apart from translation between languages, of course)
I thought I remembered something along the lines that it had been a lake, but I wasn't sure. It means that quoting a graph of the baltic as a previous poster did (perhaps unknowingly) was erroneous.
“A review of more than 200 climate studies led by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has determined that the 20th century is neither the warmest century nor the century with the most extreme weather of the past 1000 years.
Given that the studies show it is, I don't know how a meta-study would conclude that.

Smarter plant management rotates the maintenance over time to spread out costs. The same probably could be done with wind.

I find AmazonTM the gretest thing since sliced bread
The fact that Amazon couldn't sell you sliced bread is why it bought Wholefoods.

I still don't get it. Can you rephrase it in the form of a car analogy?
It's like renting a car.
It doesn't seem like an excuse for rudeness to me. I do my best not to be.

That's not politicization. That would be advocating a political stance, e.g. socialised healthcare, not one brand over another.
Is it widely used
It says 200,000 users per month in TFS. That seems pretty significant.
Personal insults do not help rational debate.
So if it were truly a valuable resource where are the charities or groups of large insurance firms or hospitals willing to pay for this to be kept up?
These things take time to organise, even assuming the database is allowed to be hosted elsewhere.

Under Hitler at least you had freedom of religion.

I hope you'll be with us a good many years yet.

Ah, quoting 20 year old emails out of context...
Also from the article:

If the MWP was as warm, why didn't glaciers melt?
