Have you flown economy recently? I just flew across the United States on Southwest, and there wasn't _any_ in-flight entertainment. Experienced passengers made sure that their phones were fully charged and they had downloaded a few movies. I read a book.
It's not just back, it is all over the front page of the app store. Right now, 3 out of the 5 panels on my front page are glowing recommendations of BBEdit.
Twelve percent growth sounds impressive, but this is like a penny stock having a 50% change in price. It is just noise. In the heydays of vinyl there were individual albums that could sell 9 million copies in one year. Heck, even Billy Ocean sold 2 million copies of "Suddenly": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
As a developer, being able to paste notes as plain text is crucial. Losing indentation, and being forced to deal with "smart" quotes is a big pain in the ass. If you agree, please up-vote the relevant issue:
GOG Galaxy is entirely optional. Their core business model has always been games that are DRM free. You can download the games directly from the website and install them on as many devices as you want. The Galaxy "app" is just a convenience for most people.
You don't need anything so complicated. Just Google "faraday bag forensics". You can buy single use, single seal bags that work the same way as disposable bank deposit bags; once it is sealed it can't be opened without evidence of tampering.
This is not a surprise. People often make jokes about sports where it seems like you don't need to be in shape: golfing, bowling, curling, etc. But, when you look at the participants at the professional or international level, they are almost always quite fit and have nutrition and exercise regimens.
You should start looking for a better company to work for. No one should be working on four teams at once. That isn't "Agile", that's mis-management and understaffing.
The gravitational lensing is caused by a galaxy cluster, not a single galaxy.
This one is a much larger and more complete ring than I have seen in other examples. Also, there are other smaller arcs in the picture. This allows for a lot more extrapolation about what is going on in that cluster, including dark matter
I never claimed that licenses automatically made people experts; only experience makes you an expert. Please see my first paragraph, re: Insurance. Having a license means that you have met the bare minimum qualifications, and helps cover you (or your boss') ass.
And, no in a really busy bar a single bartender can't track where every drink goes. In that case, all of the staff is responsible for communicating when they see problems. Do people get served too much alcohol in real life? All the time. Will I be held responsible if I can show that I know the rules and followed them? No.
I am a licensed bartender, in a state that doesn't require licenses. Still, having the license makes it much more likely that I will be hired. Why? Insurance.
About half of the bartender license training isn't about mixing drinks, or "pulling pints"; it's about serving alcohol responsibly: How strong is the drink you are making. How many drinks should a customer have per hour. What to do if a customer comes to the bar already drunk. What to do if a drunk customer wants to drive home. What IDs are acceptable. How to clean the bar, glasses, beer tap lines, etc.
Similarly, I used to be a licensed painter. Why would a painter need a license to be a painter, all you need is to put paint on a wall, right? Well, almost all of the training was about ladders, how to move them, how to set them up, how to not fall off of them, and most importantly how to work with them around power lines.
Sure, some licenses seem silly. But, most usually have at least some good reason why they exist.
I don't know if it is the same company or the same software, but I took a certification exam recently, and they are paranoid. They require you to install software that shares your screen and controls your camera and microphone. Some bored off-shore worker watches you the whole time. If you look away from the screen or keyboard too much, or they hear you talking they can invalidate the exam.
I knew there would be a comment about this, and you are right. For very quick games, especially multi-player, this would be detrimental.
However, I like to play turn-based strategy games. So, the minimal latency isn't really a problem. And, this opens up a big library of games that I didn't have access to before.
In addition, rhythm games like Rock Band already allow you to adjust for latency. So, theoretically they would work fine too.
Ford might not have been at fault: "he walked on to the set not believing it to be live." Film production actually has very specific procedures (signs, human "minders") for keeping people safe, and ensuring continuity, i.e. a hot set: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki...
Every time this comes up, I expect someone to point out the obvious, existing example of how this would work: Airplanes. All airplane crashes are investigated, and airplane manufacturers can be held responsible for defects in their planes almost in perpetuity. Obviously, this means that they have all gone bankrupt, right?
Yes, airplanes are more expensive because of this (and a lot of other reasons), but they are also safer. If car companies are responsible for their mistakes, it might actually make things better.
Instead of just taking pot shots, can you suggest an alternative?
Drupal is usually not the right solution for a "brochure" site. But, when done right, it can work very well as a portal for a more complex application, which is how it was being used in this case.
People, volunteer to install this app. Before smartphones, people actually carried around dedicated hardware that could detect sub sonic audio codes embedded in media. This was especially useful for radio ratings because people could be exposed to a radio station almost anywhere. Now that the ability to watch a TV show is just as ubiquitous, this app is actually a really good idea.

If in reality car emissions are higher than overly ambitious standards, but still low enough that air quality is OK
The second part of your premise is the problem. In some cases, VW cars were emitting as much pollution as a semi truck.
