A large portion of the 18-24 demographic may be on their parents plan or split among multiple people lowering the average cost. And I don't think any of the major carriers charge $100 for their "unlimited" plan currently. I know I have 4 lines on Tmobile for $100 (+ taxes) and while not unlimited, with our home internet none of us go over the 3 or 3.5GB/month bucket.
18-24 years ago the previous generation also probably had a $40 phone bill, $20+ internet bill for dialup, and $40+ cable bill...all replaced by that now <$100 cell phone bill.
That will be followed by 'buy American' legislation, and foreign tractors will be shut out of the US market.
What does "buy American" mean though? Mahindra is an Indian brand, but makes most of their US-sold tractors in the United States. John Deere is a US brand, but manufacturers tractors and parts all over the world.
Same thing goes with automobiles. Is that US brand vehicle made in Mexico American? Or is the Japanese brand made in the US?
Or is your American-based Apple iPhone that's made in China by a Taiwan company with parts from many other countries "American"?
Train bank employees that service the ATM to look for and recognize card skimmers...
ATMs are refilled at most daily? How many cards can a skimmer get if they install it right after an ATM is reloaded. A busy location may be dozens and the skimmer could easily be pulled off prior to the next reload time if it's a normal routine.
Also most of the credit union locations I'm a member of have an ATM mounted on the side of the building. All the reloading is done from the inside of the bank. No employee would need to look at the outside on a regular basis.
Install software on the ATM itself that scans Bluetooth for card skimmers, and SHUT DOWN if it detects one.
This implies the skimmer uses bluetooth. It could just as easily use a non-standard wireless protocol or even not wireless at all. It could just record the stripe data for retrieval later via a cable.
I know nothing about Australian weather, but it seems that if there is a large demand for irrigation in the wettest state for sugar cane, perhaps it's still not an ideal crop to grow in the region.
After 22GB, your connection may be throttled if you are on a congested cell. So you can continue to use data so it's still "unlimited" for some definitions of the word.
Quad (and octa) core servers are the moon rockets of IT. Yes, they do exist. No they are not common. Only for very, very special missions.
Cores or sockets? If you actually mean cores just about every Xeon processor made this decade is quad core or better. Most i5 and i7s are quad or better as well. On the AMD side has there been a model this decade that's not quad core or better?
He said 'rare' not 'nonexistent'
He actually said "SUPER-RARE". Having boards/servers readily available from Dell, Supermicro, HP, Tyan, and others I wouldn't say "SUPER-RARE". I would say "not common."
For a warehouse like this, "defragmenting" really wouldn't have a meaning.
In a spinning drive filesystem, locating all the consecutive blocks of a file adjacent to each other can give a performance advantage for reads and possibly writes as the head doesn't have to move for each sector. It's already basically where it needs to be.
For a warehouse, part 123 doesn't need to be next to 124. The only advantage to having them next to each other is for a human to quickly be able to locate it. A computerized warehouse would already know the location.
There could be some optimization for putting often needed parts closer to the delivery point so that the trip time isn't as long. But optimization != defragmentation.
SSD drives would be a better example of a warehouse. Just store the item, whether it's a block of data or an inventory item, wherever space is available. As long as you know where it's located, you don't have to worry about periodically defragging or consolidating space.
To me 56% sounds like we just need twice as many interceptors to catch enough incoming that it's not worth a first strike on the US because the retaliation will be total in exchange for rather low odds of doing any damage to the US.
Or the enemy needs to launch twice as many missiles in the first place. Plus if we double the number of interceptors, about a quarter of the missiles still make it through.
The places that do 'accept' it, for the most part DONT ACTUALLY ACCEPT BITCOIN . . . It's too fucking volatile to hold onto. They mostly pass BitCoin transactions through a third party who then pays your bill with a real financial transaction.
Oh, so sort of like credit cards. You give your card information to the merchant, they go to a 3rd party who then actually handles the shifting of money around.
Outside of malware and exchanges, no one of any importance directly accepts BitCoin for payment, so try again.
Overstock.com, Expedia, Newegg, TigerDirect.com, Shopify stores, Dish... Yeah you're right. None of those businesses are really of any importance. Just some of the largest online retailers or service providers in their particular industry.
If I wanted to pay a bill with Bitcoin, I don't care what the merchant does with it after I make my payment. It's not my problem as long as my account is credited for the payment.
I was thinking the web. Gmail is the same on every browser, every OS.
But it's not. Gmail on Chrome allows you to drag and drop attachments to the desktop. FF and IE on Windows don't support that feature. I'm sure there are many other little things that aren't part of the core functionality that are different. It was just one example that disproved that they are all the same.
Different browsers support different features, and that's not even before considering all the CSS styling that is just slightly different between browsers that get to be accounted for. Even if you allow for close enough appearance and graceful degradation of unsupported features, there's still going to be things that just aren't the same across all platforms on the web.
How much is your gold worth when you need to send a payment half way around the world near instantly? Your gold is useless while a bitcoin could be valuable. We can come up with all sorts of arbitrary scenarios that would make bitcoins and gold either very valuable or completely worthless.
The fact of the matter is that the inherent value of anything is exactly what someone will pay for it right then. And right now 1 bitcoin is worth more than one ounce of gold based on currently trending transaction values.
And when the officer enters a locker room or rest room? Not in the course of their job but in the course of their life? Do they or anyone else in the room not have an expectation of privacy? Or since recordings could/should be subject to FOIA requests, what if a person (victim, perpetrator, bystander, informer, etc) being recorded also has an expectation of privacy or confidentiality? Or if the officer is officially off duty and is just a private citizen prior to starting his day, or has just ended it?
Not saying that I necessarily disagree with you, but there are circumstances where just not having an off button may not be appropriate.
Guess what. You just were denied entry into the US if you claimed to be a software engineer.
While your pseudocode does appear to tell if a BST is absolutely balanced, that's not the computer science definition of a balanced binary tree. A balanced binary tree is one where the depth of the tree is kept at a minimum.
Imagine a tree with just 2 nodes, a root node and a single child node. By your algorithm, it's not balanced. and there is nothing that you can do to balance it. But it is balanced as the depth is kept to a minimum and only adding a new level once all sibling nodes at the same level have 2 children.
So what exactly are you wanting? Even if you paid by the second and/or bit you'd still have a "plan" that stated what your rate was.
Unless you finance a phone over X months there isn't a contract with T-Mobile. And if you do finance the phone, the agreement is only covering the payback for the phone. You are free to pay it off in full at any time early and the agreement ends. $50/month for unlimited talk, text, data (28GB at 4G speeds, throttled after that). $100 for two (or three) lines. Taxes included.
Life expectancy previously was 45-50 years but the low life expectancy wasn't necessarily directly related to diet. High childhood mortality due to accidents, binge drinking, and suicide all have high prevalence. Lack of internet porn and Starbucks also contributes to the low expectancy.
I think they both are. I think it's correct that the FCC should review mergers when consolidation of significant amounts of licensed spectrum or other assets that fall under the purview of the FCC. And I think the FTC should review mergers based on the impact from a trade and consumer point of view.
Multiple different detection methods: -Your phone queries the network to see if tethering is permitted, or it explicitly tells the network it's tethering. -TTL value on packets are an unexpected value. If many of your packets have a TTL of say 30, but they suddenly see an influx of packets with a TTL of 29, that's a sign -Examining MAC addresses. Similar to above, if they normally get packets with a MAC of XYZ but then get a bunch of ABC, sign of tethering. -Fingerprinting of the network stack. By examining characteristics of network settings they can guess what OS is being ran -Examining data and URLs. Was a desktop webpage requested? Did the user agent match to a desktop OS? etc.
Not everything is foolproof and guaranteed-false positives would be easy to happen. But it's not very hard to detect if the person is lazy. End to end encryption and running everything through a VPN tunnel can help mask many of the detection methods.
Well, if you're only two options are $1500 for a single use or $250,000 for a subscription, then I would venture a guess that it would start to pay dividends at $250,000 / $1500, or after the 167th phone is unlocked.
I'm far from a legal expert but doesn't the gov't already have the power to subpoena library records to see if a defendant checked out books on poison or bombs?
Thanks to Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the government didn't even need to have a lawful request with judicial review. They could just ask for it and demand the library not tell anyone. That section has expired, but most states still allow records to be requested with a court order or lawful request.

My fault. I saw the webpage and it said $50/line and I didn't realize it was a slider set to 2 lines. It is $70 for a single line.
