Would you rather all applications be paid and therefore inaccessible to 1. people using devices without Android Market (such as AOSP Android tablets) and 2. people outside those few countries where Android Market offers paid applications?
Holy non-sequitur Batman! Lots of free stuff does not rely on tracking you for adds. Some of it does not even have adds. Busybox does not seem to do that, nor does the linux kernel.
I don't know about Asia, but gasoline gauges are calibrated differently in cars for the United States market compared to cars for the German market due to different expectations among drivers. A car sold in the United States that has started to show empty still has enough gas to get to a gas station, while on a car sold in Germany, empty means zero, and the engine will stop. Likewise, standards for how to visualize battery charge may differ per region.
You can either check language, or stop fucking coddling stupid people. Empty should fucking mean empty.
Sure but we are not talking about crimes here. Just me deciding the risk is worth it to build my sea wall 1 meter shorter, or making the containment vessel 2 cm thinner. Not negligence really either, just slightly less careful precautions. At what point does it go from reasonable compromise to negligence? Who decides?
And I'm concerned about this growing culture of "never talk to cops, they hate freedom and will pin anything they can think of or even imagine on you". Mainly because of the implication that "the organizations dedicated to protecting the people are in fact the greatest threat to such"
Bullshit. When they pull people over the first thing they do is ask "Do you know why I pulled you over?". That question is asked just to get you to admit to another thing they can ticket you for or use to arrest you. If you are unlucky enough to be interacting with them in another way it gets worse. For anther fun example in NYC police will encourage suspects to hand over marijuana in public with promises that they will ignore this minor fine-able offence. The reality is they are inducing these suspects to commit the crime of displaying these drugs in public, moving a non-crime fine only offence into misdemeanor territory. They are actively encouraging the commission of actual crimes so they can make more arrests.
If there was a cheaper way to do it, it would be done that way. The one thing capitalism is pretty good at is optimizing for cost, in the short term anyway.
I would politely ask him to go away, would that be a reason to search my home?
By the way, polite would be staying the hell off my property. Never talk to the police, they will try to pin something on you. If they want to speak to all you know are your name, address and that you need a lawyer.
which may or may not be related to us growing up in on of the fallout hotspots of Chernobyl and getting a healthy dose of rain at exactly the wrong time. They all survived, but having to adjust and readjust your thyroid hormone medication all the time can be pretty shitty. Mood swings, depression, life-long dependency on medication.
I already have those issues and quite possibly for the same reason. Forget the mood swings, the adhd like symptoms or sudden weightloss are much worse. The last one is really vicious, because as you lose weight you end up with too much thyroid hormone, which leads to more weightloss, and on and on.
I agree there are alternatives, but the cost is the issue. Money really does mean the difference between life and death for many. I think 2-3 decades is being very ambitious. If we got rid of coal power on that time scale I would be ecstatic, I think we are stuck with nuclear for a hundred years or more. Solar thermal is great where it can be done. Using northern Africa to power Europe would be a great goal. It is not really an option in a place like Japan though. Not enough land to do that, and not enough light either.
Shipping enough coal or natural gas to replace nuclear power plants is expensive too. Again, that cost could well mean lives.
Yeah, no. It would have to burn though a huge amount of earth. Not gonna happen. If it got through the concrete slab that would be bad enough. Contaminated water would then seep into the water table and the water supply might be made undrinkable.
Even thyroid cancer is realistically not that bad, I say this as someone who is basically just waiting for that diagnoses. I have the precursor nodules. It is slow moving and slow growing, normally speaking. How many cases of cancer are worth not using coal? How many coal miners and asthmatics do you want to trade for each cancer death?
The reality is all of these power solutions have risk, and yes this will have a high economic cost. So does the deaths of those coal miners. Plug it into a spreadsheet and tell us what you get.
Sure we could have safer power than coal or nuclear but it would be so expensive that it would cost economic growth. That would surely kill people unable to get their medicines when their jobs no longer exist in the new reduced economy or keep their homes warm in the winter due to heating costs. Nothing is free, just tell us how you want to pay for it.
The problems are multiple. 1. Is the containment vessel solid? Will this burn through? 2. If the melted fuel gets hot enough to burn you will get radioactive smoke, and such into the air. 3. You are reducing the shielding to nearby people, by removing water that would be in the way. 4. If you made the wrong and not industry standard choice, do you go to jail?
So long as it does not get worse, there will be no Zone of Alienation in Japan. There will be some buildings that probably end up entombed in concrete. Odds are the fuel will be left in them or placed in Casks. People will be allowed back to their homes in a timescale measured in months not years, decades or centuries.
If it does get worse, say there is another huge earthquake and tsunami, it could get worse. Still probably not to the level of Chernobyl, since material was not shot into the sky.
Criticizing is fine. TEPCO did a total shit job, from the lack of sea walls adequate to the job, to the lack of cooling that would be adequate until generators could be restored. Vermont Yankee is another site that should be shutdown until new responsible owners are brought in. What will get you a troll mode is acting like fucking chicken little, the sky is not falling.
I think when speaking in general terms like you are doing you should not be surprised when someone calls you out on it. You are acting like chicken little here.
Which means after the risks hit 1 x "What they can be made to pay", there is no economic incentive to ensure any more safety. Then add in that the company will be paying not any individual losing his savings and you get into a position where the people making these decisions may well be the ones least impacted. If an engineer makes a mistake that causes an event like this he is never going to work in that field again and is going to be working flipping burgers. If a CEO makes a decision that causes an event like this he is never going to work again since he makes millions a year that is not a big deal.
So that you can get people back into their houses in a year rather than in a hundred years.
They need to cool the cores so they can permanently contain them. Hopefully they can still be dry casked, but it might not be possible anymore to move the material for a while.
I never said nothing happened. We knew it melted down shortly after the incident began. The claims I am making are that this is not the end of the world. It is not the same as Chernobyl, not even in the same league. I take it you are too young to remember but Western Europe had radioactive rain falling not too long after. Parts of Northern Europe still have high enough levels of contamination that you can't pick wild mushrooms. That does not mean that Chernobyl made all the children born after it mutants either.

So what does your app do when the phone is indoors and does not have wifi access?
At work, unless I turn the wifi on I have no valid location data. I still expect mapping software to let me move the map around myself.
You should be checking basically everything, ever hear of try and catch?
What would you do if the device just did not have a network connection? Or if it was a new phone and had an empty address book, or no emails yet?

Depends on what you block. If you block network, how does the app know that you just don't have a network connection right now?
I use my phone without data when I go to Canada. No way am I paying verizon $30 for 75MB.
Where in Japan can they use geothermal?

How inter-operable is it with standard SIP?
They have a long history of the 3Es.
How do you plan on getting all the air out? What equipment exists on side for getting a vacuum in the vessel?
Yes, if containment is lost then the fuel actually burning, as in oxidization at a rapid rate, becomes a real concern.

I don't think I do either. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Linux might be a Unix clone, but the kernel never tried to be windows. Gnome and KDE tried that.
Android did not clone iOS at all. Not anymore than iOS cloned the smartphones that came before it.
Even better is that it will accept rss feeds that contain said torrents. At least it did years ago when I used it.
Mount as USB mass storage device and drag and drop. Much easier than iTunes.
Yeah, no. It would have to burn though a huge amount of earth. Not gonna happen. If it got through the concrete slab that would be bad enough. Contaminated water would then seep into the water table and the water supply might be made undrinkable.

Being hysterical or panicky is foolhardy at best, ignorant at worst. If you are a fool please work on that. If you are an idiot please stop voting.
