I checked the prices before we went there and I remember them being comparable to a single person. Once you have 2 people, it gets crazy expensive compared to a car. I couldn't even entertain the option, as there were 4 of us and I like to drive.
We made the trip between Munich and Berlin in 5 hours. Airport (which is 0.5 hrs north of Munich) to the Brandenburg Gate.
Trains work in the US when shipping freight. The work for passengers in the northeast. However, cars are far more convenient everywhere else.
Case study: Trip to Norfolk, VA from NYC area.
Fly: ~$300 per person round trip. You get one carry-on bag per person. 1.5 hrs each way + 4 hrs of transit/wait time. Train: ~$250 per person round trip. You can carry more on. 8 hrs each way + 2 hrs of transit/wait time. Car: ~$75 per car round trip. You can carry even more. 6 hrs each way; no wait time.
Now, if I didn't already have a car with sunken capital costs, then there is an argument. But even then, I would rent a car. Either way, it is cheaper and takes less time to drive than take the train.
In contrast, it would be crazy to drive into NYC when the train station is right next to where I am. Flight is almost always better if time is a factor.
And don't tell me "it's different in Europe". I was in Germany. I can drive from Munich to Berlin faster than the ICE train. And the train ride costs $150+ each way per person.
Outside of heavily subsidized metro area trains, I have not seen a train compete with the cost, let alone the time and convenience of driving alone. When you add a 2nd person, it just gets crazy to take a train.
The people won't think twice because we don't really care. It is a freakin' cookie. Just because you and some others don't like it, doesn't mean it should be enforced by a government.
I swear we are going to wind up with laws that prevent a person from staring at someone for more than 10 seconds. It will be punishable with community service, which will be to clean the parking lot of some major private corporation.
The free market corrected the non-free market. You are blaming the ground for a plane crash. You are blaming the free market for being vastly different than the 2007 prices. The 2007 prices were anything but real free/fair market prices.
The market distortions put in place by governments lead to the eventual and predictable collapse. The lack of enforcement around fraud will help lead to the next predictable collapse.
So what do we do? Offer record low mortgage rates. Because we can't seem to accept that housing prices should be FAR lower than they are today.
Is this illegal because of the DMCA? It is very common for people and companies to circumvent application security. It is usually up to the application to secure itself.
Does this mean that I could sue someone for using some form of XRay glasses? Because my clothes are supposed to prevent people from seeing me naked...
Not completely true. If one finger were dedicated to the E, A, S, T, N, and I keys, then the maximum speed will be limited by the speed of that finger. Each finger is a "thread" of typing. One finger can type immediately after another finger, but if one finger has to type twice in a row, it slows you down. QWERTY utilizes this idea, because keys in the same column are least likely to be used back-to-back. This keeps the hammers from being used back-to-back (jams) and your finger from typing back-to-back keys.
And most everyone was against that. In fact, the next several Presidents were on the side of the political fence opposite John Adams. The people and most founders were like "WTF?!"
But you are correct that Hamilton and John Adams would be perfectly fine with the use of these Executive Orders (which only seemed to really be abused since Nixon)
BMW has an entry-level model that allows people who can't actually afford their cars to get their cars. This is not the case with Mercedes. Those people can generally afford their cars. People who try to spend their way into luxury and debt at the same time tend to be the a$$holes you speak of. Those that actually earned their money to buy such a car are not so much.
Yes. Invest in yourself. Invest in private businesses. Start a company.
Also, we are talking about highly liquid markets. Long term investments are not affected by flash crashes...as long as you don't set trailing stops, etc...
And that is a problem, why? Just like in the flash crash, some people lost money and some people got big deals. If you don't want it to affect you, don't get involved. In both cases, it hurts the organizations and institutions more than an individual trader/buyer/seller.
I wish I could read even 2x faster than I can listen to someone flapping their mouthparts. It is more like 1x for me. I have no idea how someone could read and interpret what they are reading so fast. In fact, I find more grammar mistakes coming from writings of fast readers than slow readers. It seems to me that fast readers skip over the details. Though I could be wrong about that assertion. Maybe the reading speed is a major difference between visual and non-visual learners. I am mathematically and scientifically astute and wish Youtube existed when I was going through school.
And they are giving you a 1.5 year warning that these non-critical apps are retiring. That should be expected. I don't expect my phone to last 5 years. You shouldn't expect an online service to last more than 5 years. They retire for good reasons. Something else is there.
Is the article really lumping together statistics of people who start a successful tech company with people who run a successful tech company? A company is only started once, but run by N executives. The executives shouldn't be part of this statistic because aspiring entrepreneurs are not looking to jump right into the role of CEO at an existing company.
An office without janitors really suck too. The toilets are messy, garbage cans full and spilling on the floor, etc... It doesn't mean you have to pay janitors more than the other employees.
Likewise, you don't need to pay project managers more than the people they are managing.
You touched on the core issue. Many of these apps, especially banking apps, used security holes to accomplish certain things. So when Java fixes the security issue, the app stops functioning.
I have never seen an issue around an API change. Only security fixes.
This is probably because of a security flaw that u29 closed and Entrust Truepass utilized to function. That isn't the fault of the compile code, but the security manager. This can be resolved through a change in the java.policy file.
Sometimes the problem comes up because someone used a Sun/Oracle class or an IBM class instead of the standard API.

Says the 7 digit ID to someone who has been on Slashdot for 10 years WITH CowboyNeal. I can only assume the GP was being facetious.
Just like polls don't have a CowboyNeal option anymore, the story doesn't have one either

Did you just say Obama can sign what ever treaty he wants?

No, is it time to stop answering questioning titles with 'No'?

You have to account for the price of having the full collection. This is one of those cases where the whole is worth a lot more than the pieces.
If you had one Ruby Slipper from the original Wizard of Oz movie set, it would be worth some money. But having a full pair is worth SO much more.
What is wrong with Buttress and Anderson?

He is fine with the usage, as much as google-sucks.com would be protected.

And their business model has changed?
They just adding entry/collection points for their tried and true business model. Nothing more; nothing less.
Whooosh!
The GP was referencing the Big Dig. It went billions overbudget and finished nearly 10 years later than estimated.
