Look back in the last 10 years : republican kept blocking anything over and over , be it nominations of peoples under the flimsiest pretense, to laws , to budgets. At some points you STILL have to govern and react to events in spite of the republican pure spiteful (pun intended) government blocking. That is where the writing of the pen come in. If you want to point finger, point finger at the republican for refusing to even govern properly.
Or even getting a rocket. That man if not mentally ill, is simply trying to fleece other people out of $1.8 million. And that's the extent of the story.
They would have been right, seeing how the few of them (which survived their epidemic and intercine wars), were wiped out by the subsequent arrival of the white men , and all the war , conquest, and pushing away their population, new disease etc...
What I do care on the other hand is that fox news is spreading blatant lies. People keep complaining about "fake news" but the reality is one of the biggest purveyor was not the russian (which *maybe* did it for the election) but fox news which does it 365 days/year. They distort most of the time and outright lies sometimes. That may be my scientific training, I can't stand such bullshitter attitude.
A blanket statement "uv are non ionizing" is incorrect, because as pointed out UV are going from 400+ to ~10 nm. And if you take around 10 eV as a lower limit of ionization energy that is around 120 nm which is *well* into UV granted , it is UV c, but that is *still* UV, even if it is 100% filtered by the atmosphere. Maybe the OP may want state "UV radiation which reach the surface are non ionizing" then it is true. Precision is important otherwise you make blanket statement which are untrue.
Firstly while lower energy UV are non ionizing , the higher UV frequency at the boundary from xray are ionizing - it depends on the molecules/atoms as there is no fix precise limit on what an ionizing energy is. But far more importantly they are at frequencies where bonds can be broken. That is why the effect is far different than with microwave radiation, as those are frequencies where mostly rotation occurs (as a rule of thumb, microwave rotations of groups, infrared , vibrations, uv/visible, bond breakings, high energy uv and above, ionizing - the problem starts at bond breaking not ionizing, but ionizing is actually far more dangerous biologically).
Blockchain, crypto, mining, consuming electricity, distributed verification... It all don't matter. What matter are a few things : 1) is the value stable (e.g. not wildly fluctuating) 2) can the supply be increased indefinitely (e.g. there are no inherent limit on the maximum amount of currency amount issued). 3) can the supply be controlled by government and bank 4) processing fee cost is essentially near zero for the entity processing it, like banks - and that include processing monetary fee and amount of time
(3) is important because no country or super-national entity like EU would allow currency on which there is no control by central bank. It makes all kind of sense for monetary policies. Like it or not, baring anarchy and exchanging "caps" in a post apocalyptic world, all our economies and governmental monetary policies are based around that. I call that a condition "sina qua non" and all dreamer out there wanting to escape "government grasps" don't get what society is based on and why it is that way. Those who never learn from history... (1) is important because without it you have no valid currency which can be used for exchange. Wild fluctuation make buyer think twice and maybe push a buy the next day/month, because next day the currency could be worth twice what it is now. Seller refuse for the contrary reason, it could be valued as half the value the next day/month. (2) like it or not is important because without it you may as well go back to limited monetary policies based on the gold standard... There is a reason all countries switched to a standard which does not limit the amount of monetary supply. You are essentially stringing the economy if you limit the total amount of issuable currency (assuming the amount is something low like 50 millions bitcoins, and not a technical limitation like 2^64-1). Like it or not but current economy are not based on limiting the total supply (4) is simply a question of adoption. If you have processing fee of 20+$ like today, or take minutes to close and be validated, then there is no way anybody with a sane mind will adopt it as a currency, it will stay niche.
That is why essentially I think ZERO of the crypto currency existing today will be anything but either a scam, a niche commodity, used for money washing, or a speculative bubble.
It is known that in some species, like cat, you can revert type 2 diabetes, but that is AFAIR because they regenerate their beta cell in their lagerlans islet something different than with human (incidentally that is why you should check regularly cat for Blut sugar, some DO rarely revert back to normal and giving them insulin can bring them to dangerous hypoglycemia). That is not what they are seemingly saying, what they do is adapt the body weight, but normally diabete type 2 human is about the body / liver cell getting resistance to insuline, so losing weight should not change that. I do wonder what's at play here.
Note that this article is from a local unknown journal, with NOBODY confirming what it pretend is happening, to my knowledge not even the local CCC knows about it, and at least if it tries to put it as law there will be a PUBLIC DEBATE, and this is the Germany, not the US, people tend to really debate such things.
And here were have the US saying "fuck that we have above the law we can stamp you with FISC to have you add a backdoor" Bypassing the judicial , not even needing law , bypassing check and balance. And the reaction is.... Mutted, far less vitriolic. Fancy that.
Look at all the expense you do which are small , you don't bat an eye to do, and yet you could get cheaper elsewhere like coffee. You would be surprised how much that makes at the end.
Undoing mod....
I am french too , and the reason people do not protest that much about total, is that apple is far more in the news, and news about total tax far less you have to dig and keep yourself informed (*). Otherwise those hippie activist (yes I know some of them, and they are the 2017 hippies)= would protest a dirty , co2 making , petrol station than apple. But they are as a group (at least those I speak to) utterly uninformed (*). It isn't about foreign company AT ALL. If you knew anything about those activist you would know that. As for the mod, at best this parent would be "interesting" as an opinion or "informative" if you stretch it but nowhere near insightful.
just like with wired they did not need a warrant to know where the physical phone were (they just had to ask the company where the phone number it was linked to, which address, by reading the company documentation (phonebook) or just plain asking the company which complied warrantlessly. This is the same here, the company has your location, and is complying mostly warrantlessly. This is one of the case where you think there is a difference, but when you dig deeper, there is not. In both case the company knows your location, and happily give it to the cop. Now for email/mail you have a point, but for phone ? not really.
The theater play is for the republican base. He almost certainly does know this is not about free speech, but about money. But he is a (ex verizon) lawyer foremost , and he is spinning and selling a tale to the prole, not to the techie and firms.
What will happens, if say , the rest of the world decide to go for NN, but the US does not and make tiered access ? Maybe I am missing something, but would not that incentive company to actually move to other countries ?
If they solved the problem of the middle slice of the pancake having more heat than it should, 3D chip are a good solution. Plus it is easier by order of magnitude to do flat chip. So price factors in.
I mean they changed the way bookmark and liked page are handled, and I have spent the better part of 2 or 3 hours reorganizing everything. So I am pissed.
Firstly you did not read the link otehrwise you would have known the number for germany is *dropping* too. Don't trust me on my word click the link and tehre is a ncie little red graphic. guess what ? it is downward. Secondely per capita exists for a good reason : to normalize among countries with different economies, politics. That is why we count death per capita, co2 per capita, or similar measures. For example china or India may have more CO2 absolutely than the US, but per capita it is abysmally lower.
In spite of the riff everybody is doing on germany not doing enough, they are a western country which has a high standard of living and have about half the emission per capita of CO2 than the US has... https://data.worldbank.org/ind...
for those not wanting to click : per capita USA 16.5 metric ton per person, Germany 8.9 metric tons per capita. And that is in spite of all that lignite burning.
"This is why the 60ish bucks you can ask for a game isn't enough."
You my friend brought the EA propaganda hook and sinker. Game with way better graphics than Battlefront 2 , say, witcher 3, cost only 60$ and are way richer in graphics. Battlefront 2 and other EA game are not THAT special, not even the servers and bandwidth. No the real reason 60$ is not enough have nothing to do with cost of production. The main reason are 1) the incredibly increased cost in marketing (sometimes can be as high as 1/3 of the total cost) 2) the pressure the increase shareholder return on investment.
Your own "morality" would lead to NO such experiment and no alternative to test on nervous system. because let us face it, the alternative is to test on human, higher cephalic order animals similar to human or no test at all. You are the same type of people which were horrified by ears being grown on rat.... Well yuppeee doo you are the same backward type of people which would hurt all medicine because they can't stand the "sacro saint whatever". Your comparison to nazi (and therefore mengele) show your end game. The reality is that those experiment have NO ethical implication, the amount of nervous tissue barely being similar in size than an insect brain. The moment you CITED nazi to compare this experiment was the moment which showed your true color.
But part of it is rational. Gold has an intrinsic value due to the exchange we assign to it, exchange between currency and gold as a commodity. Think of it as an elaborated piggy bank which does not follow the same principle or valuation than money. The other part which is more rational is that you can mass produce iphone for more or less a flat energy curve. You cannot mass produce gold in the same way, as rarity increase energy requirement do too. Thus it acquire a scarcity which manufactured object do not.
The fee are ALSO utterly volatile making it impracticable for small amount as the GP said. A week ago or so it was 8+$. Now it is in average 5+$. Again volatility at work, and making it utterly improper as currency use.

They are not trying to mask their country of origin, so they can still spread falsehood and mislead people to their content.
