No. The EU just forced Ireland to collect the taxes.
I think a lot of people on/. had a problem understanding this simple concept: The EU didn't fine Ireland; instead the EU just told Ireland to collect all those lovely back taxes.
There was a threat of some kind of penalty had Ireland not collected the back taxes, but this has not yet happened.
Yeah, I occasionally have the misfortune to catch an hour or so of "Tee Vee" in some public location, and am always blown away by how much advertising there is.
My TiVO has a 30 second skip button, which translates into skipping one ad. For some programs (where the ad skipping data isn't available yet), I find that I may have to press this button 9 times, meaning there are 9 ads, taking up 4.5 minutes.
1. Offer a sweetheart tax deal to very large company. Collect almost no taxes. 2. Get caught out by the EU. 3. Demand payment of back taxes from the large company.
This 13B euro is more than Ireland would have ever collected through its illegal low tax scheme over the next decades or more, so, even if no large companies chose to route their profits through Ireland, the country is still ahead on the deal and can blame someone else for the deal falling apart.
Reading again, I see you addressed the variation in frequency. But you miss that DC is often good for long-distance transmission because it is connecting two independent grids.
There is a difference between running at the same frequency and running in phase.
Secondly, the guarantee of instantaneous frequency isn't as accurate as you think. The reason that mains synchronous clocks keep good time is that there is a guarantee that there will be the correct number of cycles over a 24-hour period (or something like that). During the day, the frequency may slow slightly and increase at night.
So, yes, grids are synchronous, but there are often multiple grids, which don't have a guarantee that they remain synchronous with each other.
Re socialization: One shouldn't forget that dogs are pack animals, whereas cats are not
I don't think they are. Wolves are pack animals, but dog behaviour is very different to wolf behaviour.
As you note, dogs have evolved to work well with humans, not necessarily with other dogs.
Yup. Even as someone who prefers cats: cats clearly are not as intelligent as dogs.
We can't really define intelligence in humans. We can't possibly define it in animals. On the other hand, the problem solving ability of some birds is amazing.
Even if the "expert" had received training, it would not have made any difference, because no one had ever done a scientific evaluation of the way a house burns. All the opinions of arson experts were bullshit, full of confirmation bias.
Actually, you have a US president who is taking meaningful actions to prevent even token support for meaningful actions to alleviate or moderate the effects of global warming.
His Mar-a-Lago estate will be one of the first to be flooded.
Yeah I stopped drinking the Tesla Kool-Aid when he claimed the new roadster has 10k nm of torque. That nearly 7400 ft lbs.
Your statement indicated disbelief with the claimed 10knm of torque. That's an opinion statement, not factual.
Your basis for your disbelief is that it is far higher than engine torque figures from other manufacturers, but, as I and others have attempted to point out, you can't directly compare engine and wheel torque: you must account for overall gear ratio.
So, you are wrong. Just get over it. All your postings just prove that you are not just an idiot, you are stubbornly idiotic.
Assuming it was like HP and made any difference where you measured it, which it doesn't, wheel torque would make it even more of an exaggeration
No, idiot.
Wheel torque = engine torque multiplied by overall drive ratio (minus losses). Since the overall drive ratio is typically between 3 and 5 in top gear (and much higher in lower gears), wheel torques are going to be at least 3 times engine torque and possibly more than 20x engine torque (in low gear).
That makes it much more comparable, and not an exaggeration.
This report is bullshit, or perhaps the summary of the report failed to summarize it accurately.
For comparison, the average Londoner loses four and a half months to air pollution,
Compared to what?
while the average resident of Manchester lives 3.3 years less than his/her counterpart in Harrow, North London. Meanwhile, boys born in Blackpool lose 8.6 years of life on average compared with those born in London's borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
The last time I looked, Harrow, Kensington and Chelsea were all part of London. Perhaps the reason people born in these districts is related to economic circumstances of their lives, not environmental.
But do people in London live longer (more than Blackpool or Manchester) or shorter (4 and a half months) lives?
There is simply no rational explanation other than malice under which robo-submissions with one point of view would be accepted while what appear to be genuine, but assisted, submissions with the opposite point of view would be ignored.

I doubt that my kids will ever have a cable-tv cord to cut. They are part of the cable-never generation.
Because you took your eye off what's been going on in politics. Seriously, almost anyone who isn't a low-information voter knew this long ago.
And how is that a problem? Seems like a bonus to me.

It's a brilliant move by Ireland!
No, they just have a difference of opinion with you over who owns the computer.

Most long-distance transmission is DC these days.
AC requires the whole grid to be fully synchronous.

From the dog's perspective, she bothers you and you give her a treat in return.
Why would you expect the dog's behaviour to change when you are rewarding the "bad" behaviour?
You should never feed human food to dogs.
It's too late now for your dogs, but if you don't want them to beg, never feed them any of your food. Don't let them know how your food tastes, ever.
And then there are the human foods that are poisonous to dogs: chocolate, onions and perhaps others.
I don't think they are. Wolves are pack animals, but dog behaviour is very different to wolf behaviour.
As you note, dogs have evolved to work well with humans, not necessarily with other dogs.

Most of their customers think that all operating systems do that. They have very low expectations for their computers.

Meanwhile, he was recently trying to build coastal barriers to protect his estates in Ireland from the effects of rising seawater.
Did you though? What about this statement:
Your statement indicated disbelief with the claimed 10knm of torque. That's an opinion statement, not factual.
Your basis for your disbelief is that it is far higher than engine torque figures from other manufacturers, but, as I and others have attempted to point out, you can't directly compare engine and wheel torque: you must account for overall gear ratio.

Also, who wants to buy a mod that will be redundant as soon as you replace your phone?
What's wrong is comparing wheel torque to engine torque and drawing incorrect conclusions based on that invalid comparison.
No, modded down because you are wrong.
No, idiot.
Wheel torque = engine torque multiplied by overall drive ratio (minus losses). Since the overall drive ratio is typically between 3 and 5 in top gear (and much higher in lower gears), wheel torques are going to be at least 3 times engine torque and possibly more than 20x engine torque (in low gear).

The rules guarantee two seats to one party and three to the other, that's why Obama appointed him to the FCC.
It was Trump who appointed him as chairman.
Please do try to get a little bit on knowledge before you post.

The title should read:
"FCC Ignored Your Net Neutrality Comment."
The explanation is just a pretence. Remember how the FCC didn't want to investigate all those anti-net-neutrality robo-submissions?
There is simply no rational explanation other than malice under which robo-submissions with one point of view would be accepted while what appear to be genuine, but assisted, submissions with the opposite point of view would be ignored.
