so why should China invite others for their power plants,..?
They do invite others to bid on projects. And they insist on having detailed engineering documentation as part of the bid. Then they decline the bid and use a "design" of their own, which is remarkably like the one they rejected.
There are three excuses people use to rationalize pirating software/movies/music:
1) It's a form of viral marketing, so more people will buy it
2) It's better to give the product away than have people turn to competitors
3) People who pirate wouldn't buy it anyway
#1 is BS, but some people keep repeating it because it feels good. #2 has some merit; Microsoft ignored rampant pirating in China because they were afraid of Linux on the Desktop (groundless fear as it turned out). #3 is the most true and the reason some piracy is tolerated.
The researchers found that piracy often acts as a form of invisible competition, keeping both the manufacturer (HBO) and the cable operator (say, Comcast) from raising prices quite as high as they might otherwise. Raise prices too high, for example, and users will just flee to piracy, creating even higher losses.
Piracy is good because it prevents piracy? Got it.
the company found no difference in accuracy in classifying gender across all ethnicities
Maybe the spokesperson is clueless, but ethnicity is not race. Look at people in Cuba: some appear Black, some European, some Native American, many are mixed. But all are Hispanic ethnicity.
Companies spend more buying non experts like actors, youtube stars, pr people, players, etc..
That's true of both sides. Count how many "experts" you see supporting causes like PETA or anti-vaccination versus the number of actresses, strippers, etc.
That's a different process. The only thing in common is the claim of a 100x improvement in speed. And because this TED talk was three years ago, I suspect the process described doesn't work very well outside the lab.
Employees were not allowed to use the company's copy machines for this type of activity. Using the company's computers, printers, network, email system, etc. is no different.

I really hope this turns out to be a breakthrough. But as the debunked Buzzfeed story showed us, something prefixed with "if true" isn't necessarily true.
B-b-b-but they all prefixed it with "if true...", so that makes it not fake news, right? It that's true, the NYT might need to change their motto to "All the news that might be true, we print"

Don't applaud too loudly...
I wonder what the subtitles for that would be?
Your should take a vacation to Antarctica for a couple of years. It's a tropical paradise compared to Mars.

if our courts start hearing cases against foreigners in foreign lands, it will be a big waste of time and resources
Remind me again how many Russians who are in Russia were indicted by Mueller; around 24 isn't it?
Using drone to help civil authorities during a wildfire, hurricane relief, or National Guard training exercise.
And I like how TFA shows a drone armed with missiles; those are useful for fighting a wildfire I suppose.
Are you sure about that? :^)

"It has come to our attention that certain individuals at the FCC may have..."
Qualified accusation in the passive voice. Sounds like even the Register thinks it's Fake News.
Could also be temperature. People feel more energetic when they can get outside more.
RTFA. The question was asked almost two years ago.
And if you get past your derangement, it's a reasonable way to prod a bureaucrat into thinking big.

The little guy has the power to use email for organizing. There's no reason the company must supply the resources.

I'm also not a big fan, but he is getting a lot accomplished that people with TDS don't want to acknowledge.

it only has value because someone says it does
I say the wadded up post-it note in front of me is money, will you give me $1000US for it?
It's only money if other people agree that it is. Bitcoin was never money. It's just speculation, like beanie babies.

ESA has always been financed by the member states. And SpaceX is supported by the US government.
She's saying she wants code monkeys who can be contracted to work on a project for one of their clients, then let go when the project is over.
Want another gig? Update your resume to whatever the new hotness is this month and learn enough jargon to bluff your way in the door again.
The article came from someone whose job title is "vice-president of corporate advancement", in other words, a marketing drone.
