You ask "what exactly does google sell apart from ads". This misses the point. Google makes loads of money from ads. Everything else is really there to make sure that nothing interferes with that. Android? Google doesn't care about 'phones per se... what they care about is loads of Iphones that don't have google as the default search provider. Chrome? same thing, get a decent market share of the web browser market and you're protected against directing traffic away from google one way or the other... and so it goes.
If you're going to install solar panels then putting them on a car port is often not going to be the smart thing to do. You want to pick the place with the best exposure to the sun, which will often be the house roof. And you don't want to use the power generated just to charge up the car - if you've got the panels you might as well feed the power into the house for general domestic use. There is some additional overhead in sorting that out - buying an inverter and doing the wiring - worth it in the long run if you're buying and installing the panels anyway.
I tend not to take notes at all during class/lectures. The material is not unique - there are plenty of other sources for that information. The point about attending is to have someone explain stuff to you in a way that makes it easy to comprehend. The best way to make use of that exposition is to pay attention and make sure you understand what's being said, asking questions if necessary.
Make notes later.
Contemporaneous note taking is for situations where the information that is is only available from that source and needs to be accurately recorded. Examples include doing an experiment where you need at accurate record of what was done, or taking a statement from a witness.
At least the UK has enacted the Human Rights Act 1998, which gives protection where rights afforded by the European Convention on Human Rights are violated by the state.
Whilst I'm sure bad stuff happens in the UK, it does provide a framework that prevents overt abuses such as Guantanamo Bay...
The thing about "cannot sue" clauses in contracts is not really quite accurate. It's not that uncommon for commercial contracts to contain an arbitration clause. I.e. a clause that the parties agree to resolve disputes about the contract via arbitration rather than through the courts. If there is such a clause then in many countries the courts will decline jurisdiction to try the case if one of the parties asks them to. That's fair enough really - they've contracted to resolve the dispute that way at the outset.
Of course this particular case is a bit different, because it's not really a case of both parties agreeing to submit to arbitration at the outset.
I'm not sure what the killer argument for smart watches is. That's not to say that there won't be a market for smaller devices that smart phones. But the real issues are display size and input method. Current smartphone sized displays can't be strapped to your wrist, and its not clear that a smaller display is useful in a general purpose device. If glass-type devices take off then it's possible then you solve the display problem, but then why would you want a watch too?
A lot of the value of gold is simply because people want gold. In that sense it's no different from bitcoins.
Of course additionally it has practical uses in industry, but if that was all there was to it then it wouldn't be stockpiled as a store of wealth the way it is now; and its value would be less.
It's not clear that there is a limited supply... depends on whether you believe the universe to be finite. I'm not being entirely facetious - we could well see commercial asteroid mining operations in our lifetimes.
I've completed quite a few of these courses. I've also bailed out of a couple. One because I was doing 3 or 4 at the same time and I realised that I didn't have time to do them all properly. Another because I started a real world full time course and that took up all my spare time.
We were talking about England of course, where we don't have the distinction between "misdemeanors" and "felonies" that exists in some places.
You would not have to report any arrests when applying for a job in the UK. An employer would not have any mechanism for discovering this (unless a google search turns up a newspaper report of your arrest or something).
There are certain provisions for jobs involving children where a more thorough background check can be requested from the authorities. But this is aimed essentially at protecting children from paedophiles and only things that are relevant to that are at issue.
There might be a record of your arrest, but that's not what is normally understood by a criminal record, which is a list of the offences of which you've been convicted or accepted a caution in respect of.
Odds definitely in favour? How do you even go about assigning odds to something like life on Europa?
Plumes don't "confirm" the existence of life. It could be that water makes life more likely - if we're assuming that other life has somewhat similar processes to life on Earth - but we knew there was water on Europa anyway.
I'm not sure that the Advocate General's opinion is properly described as an interim ruling - that suggest a court ruling which has some legal force pending a full trial. The AG's opinion is there to help the court make its decision, but doesn't have any legal force of itself.
As the summary says, its usual for the court to follow the opinion of the AG, but it doesn't always happen.

Most diamonds mined are used in for practical industrial purposes and have value for that reason.

Isn't the lack of multiple profiles because of a patent for this kind of thing on mobile phones held by Nokia?
Not to mention google. There were plenty of pre-google web search engines.

The UK is a constitutional monarchy. The sovereign does not have any effective power.
The power to refuse to sign an act of parliament is a nominal one and is never used.

Try the Scandinavian countries instead.

Not really. Either you're pregnant or you're not. Authoritarian is a much more slippery concept...
Of course the UK is part of the EU...

This is a clear reference to Bill Roger's joke about people moving from Oklahoma to California increasing the average IQ of both states.

Before maps people got around by dead reckoning, trial and error or talking to the locals. That doesn't mean that maps are not useful.
By the same token the existence of maps doesn't mean that gps navigation aids are not useful.
... so you don't actually have to do any coding at all?
Hey, just what you see pal.
