Butan has a trade deficit of â36 Million. The USA has a trade deficit of $540 Billion. Massive trade deficit? You don't know what you are talking about.
Dig out concrete from quarries?
Here's a picture of a Bhutan Gypsum mine. It's pretty much like a Gypsum mine anywhere else in the world. What, did you imagine they were digging with their hands? http://www.druksatair.bt/wp-co...
While happiness should be a goal, it can never be the primary goal because it is not self-sustaining. You can dope up the entire population on morphine and they will be extremely happy. They will also die within a month because nobody is producing the food they need to survive.
You could make up an equally unreal scenario for GDP. Like you made the entire population into slaves, and have them working all the hours they are not sleeping, and feed them almost nothing. Except, unlike your scenario that's not unreal, it's actually been done for example to build Japanese railways during WWII.
For sure, Gross National Happiness is the better measure. Because actually the goal of happiness does exclude people dying prematurely. Bereaved people are not happy people.
They's just an excuse for nobody ever doing anything to make the world better. Presumably you throw litter in the street, because after all, you as one person couldn't possibly make a difference.
Complicated stuff indeed, and not at all the "zero-sum" that angel'o'sphere imagines.
There's also the various uses of wood that man has. When it's burned it may release CO2, but it's better than digging coal out of the ground and releasing that CO2. When it's used for building or other manufacture, it locks away carbon for decades or potentially centuries in the item.
If you think that all the CO2 that vegetation such as trees takes in is given off when it rots, how do you explain where the hydro-CARBONS in fossil fuels came from?
a) No. With Amazon Fire you need to pick the remote up and press a button to speak to it. Experience of Siri is that for a plugged in device, simply saying "Hey Siri" is enough.
b) No. Their speech search only works with Amazon's own content. It's not universal search. Experience of Siri (and Apple generally) is that it will be universal search.
c) You're attempting to play that game where Apple's device has to beat not only the feature list of the device that everyone is arguing about, but every single other device on the market too. And failing.
The "main" search? You mean there are multiple searches?
Can you just speak to search for something and play it on a Roku, without so much as picking up a remote? Pretty sure you will be able to on the new Apple TV. It's trivial if they put Siri on it.
You probably wouldn't because hating Apple is a major part of who you are as a person.
However, for normal people, I suspect the clincher will be that the Apple TV will have an App Store. Obviously that makes it a cheap console with cheap apps. Plus all the many more things that the third party app developers will come up with.
Usually when people come into conflict with the regular editors its because the editor has found genuine fault with the edits. Usually the underlying problem is that they are pushing an agenda. For example there are many global warming deniers who try to edit, and claim they are providing "factual evidence" to backup their edits. But they are not. Wikipedia rightly concentrates on consensus science and covers denier stuff in "controversy" sections and articles.
Most people do. Encyclopaedia Britannica is no longer published in physical form, and does anyone much use the online version?
Despite the possibility of abuse, Wikipedia was a better encyclopaedia than the best physical encyclopaedia. It's vast coverage and constant editing as new things come to light, outweighs it's flaws.

Just like people in Guantanamo are on holiday?
TCO? Meh. MacBooks are better computers. They can afford them, you can't. Sucks to be you.
Who said anything about beatings? Isn't that more the style of the USA in their offshore Cuba based torture camp?
The fact that it's a poor country makes it all the more creditable that they are taking climate change seriously.
What's America's excuse?
By that token, you are responsible for the genocide of the native Americans. What are you doing to atone for your crime, NostalgiaForInfinity?
You're failing to distinguish environmentalists and conservationists.
Environmentalists are completely behind dams where they do more good for the environment than harm. That's not changed.

What's that got to do with climate change?
Complicated stuff indeed, and not at all the "zero-sum" that angel'o'sphere imagines.

You didn't really think that through, did you.

I can't imagine an AppleTV doing anything that my FireTV doesn't already do for cheaper.
Well that's just a sign of a limited imagination.
And yet Apple sells a lot more now than when Jobs was alive. Go figure.

"Siri! Play me last weeks American Odessey."
"OK"

You don't get that with a Roku.
You're quite the social inadequate, aren't you.
I think they've just managed my comment! ;-)

Lets not pretend that these reputation management firms have decent people as customers. They're shysters employed by dicks.
This story is about another Android problem. iPhones are not affected. They don't ship with crapware or malware.
What are you running OSX on? It's certainly not slow here.
You're right, most of them don't have a clue. Yet they are still responsible for what they've done.
