That's ridiculous. The history of business is someone coming along with a way to cut their costs a small percent, reduce their prices that much plus a little extra (i.e. reducing their profit margin), then using the new, low price to totally destroy the competition. That's exactly how Japanese car markers took down GM, Ford and Chrysler.
Every single car executive knows that is what happens and there is no way they are going to make the same mistake that American car companies made in the 70's and 80's all over again.
Generally it takes about the same amount of time to actually write Good Code as it does to actually write Bad Code.
The differences are more along the lines of:
1) You often don't know code is bad - or how to write good code - until after you have done the work once. So effectively it can take twice as long to write the good code - once to write it badly, then again to write it well.
2) Good code usually requires a good working environment. You can never write good code while your boss is demanding you hurry up and finish the project.
First and foremost, the program itself doesn't have to make google any money.
Because when you do this, you are giving google information on all the websites you visit.
Want to advertise to people that visit the Onion? Well, google can do that now - as soon as you leave the Onion, your next ad will be for Cracked.com or some other funny website in competition with The Onion.
Google is not expect to be extensive, it just reports what it can find. Their algorithms tend to be very good at recent stuff, but practically worthless for long term stuff. Go and try a search - even if you have someone's name chances are it won't find any bankruptcies that are over 7 years. You will find lawyers doing bankruptcy work. If you add in a date or year, you might get it - but if you already have the date, you already know about the bankruptcy. You definitely will not know if this is the 'right' person. They could simply have the same name.
So most banks don't rely on google - and the banks often don't have the time to do extra work.
So far, it has not become a significant problem. If it does, that might change.
I found the W3 schools web site:
www.w3schools.com/
to be very helpful.
While not specifically designed for kids, it is well written with lots of helpful features.
It is a great introduction to
HTML
CSS
JAVASCRIPT
SQL
PHP
among other things.
In the US, bankruptcies are supposed to last on your record for no more 7 years.
That said, sometimes debt companies try to avoid that law and you have to sue them to remove debts cleared by bankruptcy - which often costs more than the debt would have cost to pay off.
They have a specific law protecting them, so they don't use Free Speech as a defense.
Free Speech does not defend against false statements - slander or libel.
What makes you think the one you bought direct from China is any different than one you get from Amazon or Best Buy.
Because I guarantee you that somewhere there is a guy buying them from China in bulk, for 1/5 the price, repackaging them and selling them on Amazon for 3/4 the price.
It is a clear attempt to warn the terrorists that we will be warning the government about their terrorist threats.
You know - things like objecting to government regulation, complaining about government spying, making a request for public information, suing the government, that kind of thing.
The original article was clearly click-bait. It was either designed poorly and published because of the perceived racism or more likely designed to elicit the racist response from the get go.
That is the difference between journalism and science. Journalism needs to get attention, science works best with little attention.
You can't trust science articles if they have any outrage.
Amazing how much the pro-gun lobby wants to waste on expensive crap like this, rather than simply allowing for effective laws. Hell, for most of what we need, we don't even need to create new laws, just start enforcing the current ones - in part by firing idiotic state government employees that refuse to comply with with federal reporting requirments
This is a great argument to have the videos declared personal, similarly to a social security number. Identities can be concealed, just like they do on those COPS shows, or the tapes can be declared off limits for public information requests barring a warrant.
But it in no way prevents the government from recording them in the first place.
Because long term projects tend to get cancelled before they are completed. Better to just get everything done right away, as opposed to hoping that the same creatures are still in charge millions of years later and still want to do the work.
1) Yes this looks like terraforming - the process of taking a lifeless world and making it suitable for life.
2)That in no way at all implies aliens did it because....
3)All living worlds (hopefully Earth is just one of many) start out as lifeless and then develop life. So all living worlds MUST undergo terraforming.
4) If aliens did it, it would have taken a LOT LESS time then it did. These studies pretty much prove your wrong about aliens doing it.
Whens starting up, a living world's major problem is fuel. It's very hard to eat generic dirt and gasses. So first they need something that can take whatever inorganic raw materials exist and transform it into something more easily digestible. That means taking the atmosphere and turning it into oxygen rich (or whatever other gas the complex life needs) and taking inorganic dirt and turning it into organic fertilizer (i.e. manure). Then more complex life can come along and live off the manure and atmosphere. Then once life fills the planet, multi-celluar life forms can come along and start eating the single celled life forms, which has become good food.
That is how life takes over a world naturally. Intelligence simply speeds up the process, it doesn't change it.
There is little difference between dial up and broadband internet access.
They both require massive connections to other, unrelated networks - so uniformity in protocals.
The both must also connect to human interfaces that are always made by a third party, so again, uniformity of protocals.
They provide something that is in effect a commodity measured pretty much entirety by reliability and 'size of the pipe'. You don't get different flavors, etc.
We are using it to get to places we want to get to, not for itself. Just like any other utility.
Broadband is obviously a utility and should be treated as one.
The attempt to charge people on both ends is an abuse of power. When I buy internet, I expect to get the full speed I contracted for, without regard to whomever I am connecting to at the other end.
People would never have a problem with dividing things if they didn't get all emotional about it.
Divorce is the prime example - it's rarely about the 2nd home, the dog, the china, etc.
It's about the cheating, the 'stealing the best years of my life', the drug addiction, etc.
Nine times out of ten, people are not really looking for 'fair', they want 'JUSTICE' (in quotes).
A pity, because in reality, 'JUSTICE" is another word for spending all your time and money on lawyers to punish someone else.
If their algorithms won't let you spend all your time and money on punishing your opponent, it won't actually solve all the problems of sub-dividing property.

But the GOP has become obsessed with the idea that government is evil. They will not fund anything except military and espionage.
That includes weather forecasting.
The GOP is wrong about government being evil. But despite the recent gains, they are in for a rude awakening over the next 7 years.

I Robot, and Bicentennial man simply did not live up to the books.
How much do you get paid to put forth idiotic political propaganda like this?.
As for your silly wish for Obama to roll over and be the GOP's lapdog, he's got way too much of a backbone to do that.

Is this really the right time to talk about this?
Similarly, I strongly endorse the idea of supermodels having sex with me.
I think that both of have just as much right to expect the laws to change to suit our desires.
They both require massive connections to other, unrelated networks - so uniformity in protocals.
The both must also connect to human interfaces that are always made by a third party, so again, uniformity of protocals.
