Unfortunately for some firm (financial or engineering) some institution/testing/financial processing have to be done on EU soil. So retaining some EU market access would not be enough as per law they must be in an EU country. You would have to change that law first, and you can bet that this would be vetoes by country which have to win by having those institution forced to move.
I bought mine because I wanted to browse a few stuff on travel, watch a few youtube outside my computer room, like browse in the park, and a small use taking note and maintaining RPG characters (yes paper and pen is better but I can't read my scratches anymore...). Very limited use, but also pretty much I knew what i wanted to do with it.
"Jones' videos have been thoroughly debunked. The test cycle way in Europe exceeded expectations and proved that the technology is viable." It produced HALF of the energy produced by the same surface taken as a rooftop or side panel. "They just have to pay for themselves and then some over their lifetime." There is no way such marking pay themselves over a such time, when really self reflecting paint do the same job, and repainting is far far easier than a trench or electronic. What happens if it cracks or have a small hole due to winter/summer changes ? Well it slowly fill with water. Is that electronic water proof ? because that paint sure is. So far only test were cycle way which are not too bad. Now try an 18 wheeler.
This can be a texture problem, models detailing problems, lighting problems, and even physic problem. All of that cost money to configure, develop, and test. If the money is justified , people will do it. If there is not many scorpio at the start , forget it, unless microsoft PAY them to do it.
When you develop for console you develop for the lowest common denominator. This IS the advantage you have. Now you have two console with the same targeted environment, one slightly better at throughput than the other, and initially with lower numbers. Would you target that, add millions of dollars worth of development in bell and whistle , only to have barely a better sales, and risk the ire or their "lower" console brethen because the screenshot presented were only for scorpio ? And if you develop *for* scorpio you will miss on xbox one 1.0 player.
I know that some hold that console generation should be shorter or whatnot (e.g. totalbuiscuit on youtube argue that that the last generation was too long) but the splitting ehre will make it so probably nobody with a sane mind will invest into getting more power out of scorpio and having different config and development on an already expansive console development without real benefit sales wise (at least initially). And if nobody is adding bell and whistle, why should people buy the new one when the old one less expansive does as well ? Remember console fit one niche : the one where you get a hardware with known spec and develop for it. Scorpio break that. It will add confusion on buyer, reviewer, developper side.
Yes the pound stabilized. For this week. There is not much on week end. let us see next week whether it drops further... Or climb back up. But this is taking the crown : "There are a lot of people trying VERY hard to scare you into thinking the Brexit is a disaster, when in fact it is a blip." It has not even started. There has been NO brexit yet. There has only been a referendum and the 52% leave vote. taht is it. It has not yet been officially announced, negotiated, and done. So before declaring victory and think that all those egg head economist had it wrong, maybe you should wait a few years. Now while you fire your victory and "there is no sky falling" you'll excuse me will I prepare the welcome mat for my city of Frankfurt : we are already starting to think of how many from the financial sector from london we'll be able to grab.
"Or maybe they have laws that once you hire someone you're stuck with them for years. Hence nobody hires unless they know the person is already skilled."
Which lead them to having nobody do the job : and thus either that person was not necessary if they are still doing their widget without problem, or they are losing money by the shovel and they are idiot.
Look I am for GMO for a variety of reason, but the first time a kitten get calamari gene through cross breeding, or tomato get human gene through cross breeding, is the first time your argument will be valid. All those genes you speak of are either gained through virus over evolutionary period of time or simply because we had common ancestry and that again speaks of evolutionary time. It is plain misleading and genuinly make people mistrust usd when we try to "sell GMO" that people keep insisting that it is the same mechanism. When I try to sell nuclear power I don't fucking tell people it is the same principle as steam power. Because while superficially it is true, it is obvious to many that the heating element is utterly different. Stop being gits and pretend this is the same as cross breeding by farmer. It is not. But neither it is evil magic. It is just another form of easily transferring gene without spending 100000 of years.
or more simply 5) because the folk started with how the universes should look like, then applied their own preconception on what then should be the power, social, and military structure. After all this is not history but two made up stories.
off topic: You know what's funny, there is nothing more stupider than a theist or a troll, using the sentence Atheist's god. This demonstrate a complete lack of understanding on how atheist think. Or the utter inability to think out of the box and understand that others (be it atheist or...) can think vastly differently in scope and conclusion. It is really similar to that "you atheist in reality believe in gods/God and you are just angry of them/him" meme which demonstrate an utter inability to really think outside of their religion./off topic

Young people => no tv. Old people => stuck before their tv. No surprise. This is also why the average lower with time : old people aren't eternal and youngling do not pick up their tv habits.
Longer sentence increase the chance you re-offend, BUT often male are for a similarly violent offense given historically a longer or harsher sentence than female. So if the software use historical data to determine male should get a longer sentence , then it is a self fulfilling prediction.
An algorithm should NEVER give a sentence length based on recidivism rate, it should solely based on the crime itself, and past recidivism. Giving longer sentence based on other criteria like probability f recidivism is pre-crime sentencing and utterly disgusting.
Freedom of speech is about the government stopping you to express some speech. It has never been about the government watching you , which is more akin to the safe from search, and it has never EVER been about a private entity censoring what they want. If google censor every republican for example, then it is censorship, but it is not about freedom of speech. Why do american keep making that error ?
By the way this is also why I laugh myself hard when people in the US states they prefer private entity over the government. Guess what ? The government is bound in most countries by some form of constitution. Private entity are not. You can be far more repressed by a private entity (e.g. censorship) than you are by a government, and you may not vote them out contrary to a government. Private entity are far more repressive and arbitrary than governments (at least in our western part of the world). That is why I do not want private entity having a say in what should be important sector of a country , energy, communication, defense, justice, health care among others.
Firstly the "absurd" regulation angle is overrated : a lot of what people call absurd regulation were actually industry internal proposed regulation to offer standardization. Stop reading the sun or swallowing advert telling you stupid stuff about 109 pillow laws when in really it isn't.
Secondly it IS already happening. Some financial industry were allowed to be in UK because the UK was in Europe. If UK is not, those industry may not remain in London because by law they must be in a member state. So no matter the agreement , those have to GO.
As for deal being worked out, everybody be it the politician or the folk of each country , clearly said they won't give a good deal to the UK. Neither do they have an insensitive to ! They are already pressuring to have a quick brexit and short negotiation, which will almost certainly turn out not so good for UK.
Th problem is the voter turn out was greater in aged population slice than younger, and the younger population slice wanted to remain, whole the older one wanted to screw it all for the younger generation. And because there were more older people voting (like in any election) you see why the turn out is less relevant than the age of the voters. One could argue that the younger voter did bring it upon themselves, but still that does not absolve any of the older voter to be curmudgeon not understanding how economy and the EU works.
"This is how it goes. If it weren't for Apple we'd probably still be using computers with VGA and serial ports. " Since when apple invented the hdmi and port ? Heck even displayport was a standard outside apple (they only later licensed free a mini version of it). What is the load of bullshit of rewriting history.
In such a scheme as described there are two ways : 1) ream the end buyer and get it hostile to BOTH G2A and tinybuild because let us get real end buyer would also be unhappy with the developer 2) do what they did and eat the loss knowing this would be better PR rather than remove keys.
Frankly in their position I would do the same, and make sure the PR is out that they did not remove the keys from the end user.... Which is exactly what they did since we are getting them on slashdot and other outfit. That would be a positive points for them and if in the future they develop something it may makes me and other more interrested into supporting them. I would not be surprised if they are right now getting a slight surge in sales.
Think like quantum mechanic, finite elements analyzes or weather prediction etc... Everything which are based on matrix or subset of elements which are calculated in parallel. Although I am guessing here memory would be a bottleneck.
The key point is not the fabrication but the distribution. If the post office was distributing that propaganda under the form of paper without vetting it, in some countries they could be sued. If the radio was airing Daesh propaganda without vetting it they would be sued (and probably arrested). Same with TV. But since this is the internet Facebook and co get a free pass to republish the user self made content. Whether one find that good or not, depends on one's culture. But this is not about free speech, but rather republication by a private entity of someone else content, and whether or not they are civilly liable for that republication. Note that as far as I can tell , in some case they are indeed civilly liable and have to take down the content when reported : like copyright infringement, but they are not, so far as I can tell, forced to vet the content themselves. Thus I expect the lawsuit to go nowhere or be dismissed outright.
More or less since the first signal we blasted out for tv and radio where omni-directional , count about 1/r^2 decay in intensity. A few hundred AU at most a few light year (e.g. we are almost not detectable if we had a SETI outpost placed on our nearest neighbors). Basically what our SETI is trying to detect , is intentional unidirectional powerful "we are here" signal sent by an ET civ, like we did in direction of Gliese or M13. There is a nice table with all signals including TV and maximum range : http://www.faqs.org/faqs/astro... scroll to "Table 1 Detection ranges" for assumption and detection range. Basically the only signals ET could detect beyond 10 LY, is our own intentional signals sent from various folk in the last 4 decades, and those maximum are around a few hours duration top.
Yes, competition is bad and you're much better off with a monopoly that abuses its customers with high prices and poor service.
this may be true in the state, but in Germany everybody can be a taxi driver. All you need is 1) a taxi driver license (it is different exams to the normal one) anybody can take the exams, 2) an insurance on the car which makes it a commercial car 3) if you do pay per kilometer a counter which is verified to be working and properly counting kilometer/seconds of wait by a german institution ("geeicht" - calibration) and 4) no prison sentence for certain crime IIRC.
That is it. there is no medaillon no other artificial limitation by existing companies and . In fact one of the driver which I used to take (before he switched of job) was a normal person which had a normal car, and just a official distance table (he had no counter).
Basically Uber does not want to respect those minimal alws NONE of which are to protect local non-existant monopoly, all of which are to protect the consumers. But Uber feel it is "über alles" (pun intended) and now Germany told him "get out". Look possibly your taxi are bad in the state, but in Germany I have only very good one, since everybody can go into the business, those who don't do a good job simply get less and less fares.
I would be that in Germany they would still have to honor the purchase, because license that you get "forever" may not as easily be withdrawn unilaterally from you.
Unless there is a user encryption, pretty much anything you enter in an application anywhere is at the mercy of what the developer wants. Only the requirements force the developper into making system where even themselves cannot peak (because it is good practice , like salted encrypted password, or because of regulation or....). Any messenger which do not advertise end to end encryption with key not guessable/no backdoor, can read everything you do including links.
