Local politics can be a lot of fun. Get in touch with a couple of the elected officials and tell them you want to volunteer some time on this initiative. Present yourself as neutral but interested in the idea. If you didn't grow up in the community they won't trust you, but stay with it and get to know them.
If a Chinese company has data on a server in the US and routinely accesses that data, can the US government suddenly say the company can no longer have access to the data because a Chinese judge issued a warrant for it?
That seems different than the Chinese government demanding data from a US company like twitter when the data is stored on a server in the US
His statement says some CIA employees did what Feinstein suspected. This brings up the question of "What did the director know and when did he know it?" but doesn't necessarily mean he was lying any more than Hillary lied at most of her appearances before Congress...oh, never mind.
ACM lost the mainstream audience back in the early 1980's when a group from HP's PARC got involved. Before then the SCM's focus was computers and software; those guys brought in their social and political agenda. The Journal became their soapbox for issues programmers didn't care about (similar to some of the off topic flame wars we've seen in slashdot over the past couple of years). Once they lost their audience they never got it back.
But you still need a touch screen or very few apps will work. The attached keyboard is just that, an attached input device on top of the existing touch screen.
The 8895 is used in the Exadata Database Machine X4-8,an 8-processor rack system with up to 12 TB of system memory 672 terabytes of disk, 44 terabytes of high-performance PCI Flash, 240 database CPU cores, and 168 CPU cores in storage to accelerate data-intensive SQL.
The article implies it would be at least 8 processors (I hope they don't charge by CPU or CPU core). Anyway, it's at least $200k. But as you say, an Oracle shop is already in way deeper than that.
The Hercules wasn't misguided at all. At the rate U-boats were sinking Liberty ships and the possibility of battleships like Bismark and Tirtipz roaming the Atlantic a big transport plane would work. Problem was that it was ahead of it's time, without computers to help the pilot it wasn't safe to fly.
I suspect one use of this plane is along the same lines. Submarines are not a concern. Fly low, under radar and you have a reasonable chance of moving large numbers of troops or supplies quickly to an isolated invasion point, even if your air cover can't protect you.
Apple markets and prices their products as status symbols. If you don't have the latest, shiniest gadget you aren't cool anymore, especially when your hipster friends are waving their latest toy in your face. So of course you need a reason to justify a new iAnything device.
They know music, they know their instrument, but a lot of thought goes into presentation. Would be interesting to see if they're running on autopilot or if their brain is totally engaged.
For local government purposes the city is part of Toulouse Métropole (“Greater Toulouse”), which includes 37 neighbouring communities and has a total population of around 714,000. Toulouse Métropole employs some 10,000 staff to manage its administrative operations.
I don't know much about local government in the US or France. But that seems like a heck of a lot of administrators for that number of people.
You have confused investing in the company's stock (profitable) with the company's operations (not so profitable). That said, it seems Amazon is rolling their money back into growing the business rather than building a cash hoard the way Apple did. It appears that investors are happy either way for a while, then they want to see some of the money.
Envious of them because they're in the early planning stages of a collider that might be constructed almost 20 years after CERN's? It will be a nice step forward if they pull it off though.

Or just say the hard drive crashed and all the data was lost.
Microsoft Ireland wasn't ordered to turn over the data. Microsoft in the US was ordered to turn over data that's available to them from the US.
I didn't know Google was a Chinese company.

You remember Peter Hoddie, right? He was one of the original QuickTime developers at Apple.
No. Never heard of him.

how did they get the permits to film there in the first place?
Money talks.
Well, he went as far as confirming he was getting the same particle counts.
He confirmed that the homemade filter reduced particle counts. But I don't see that he compared its effectiveness to filters costing "up to $1000".
Mostly this Committee. They pushed their own agenda too hard for most ACM members.

Yes, but it turns out to be only a Mediocre Massive black hole
That probably depends upon whether you consider the terms of use
I use depends, you insensitive clod.

Should people have to compete in bare feet and naked?
Only in Beach Volleyball.
But as far as track and field sports, if one competitor can use springs or blades then why can't all of them?

No, it looked like a big freaking monster with feathers and long teeth.
Even cold blooded animals do things to retain warmth and protect themselves from overheating. The distinction between warm and cold blooded isn't all or nothing.

They already have everything a low level tech from NSA can provide. Probably something in there has piqued their interest in TOR.
