A few companies have proposed this type of system, most notably ICO Global Communications. It hasn't ended well.
Granted, Google is a much more established company than some collection of venture capitalists, but manufacturing, launching and managing constellations of satellites is extremely complex. You can't do it alone and at least one company along the way will over-promise and under-deliver. That stalls the overall program and problems just snowball from there.
Google obviously has experience managing some mapping satellites, but scaling up to dozens and hundreds is not straightforward.
... you need to contact a lawyer. You need to support her and find ways to communicate as well, but finding a good lawyer is, sadly, almost as critical.
Everything you will want to try is going to require enormous sums of money, money the insurance company is not going to give you willingly. They may provide her care, they may pay for some baseline therapy, but they are not going to pay for exotic therapies.
Money from a lawsuit can help pay for these therapies. Money from a lawsuit can get her home renovated to handle her expected condition for the foreseeable future.
Someone messed up. You wife's sister should not end up in a closet, bankrupting families in the attempt to improve her life.
I don't like this method of adding or subtracting, but they added one step to make it look even that much worse.
Every child should be taught what numbers are needed to get to the next or previous ten. Counting by tens (or hundreds, thousands, etc) needs to be ingrained because we are base 10 people. They need to memorize those simple additions and subtractions (going to the next or previous 10).
This particular example should have been taught as you need 8 to go from 12 to 20, you need 10 to go from 20 to 30, and you need 2 to go from 30 to 32. So, 8+10+2=20. 32-12 = 20. It gets them thinking about both sides of the equation now, instead of reinventing the equals sign when you get to algebra.
Yes, you need to understand conceptually what 32-12 physically means, but you also need to be able to just do simple math automatically as well. That is where quality teaching comes into play. You need to make sure that point is driven home, both concepts are needed. If teachers are on auto pilot, and saying, just do it this way (the conceptual way) because that is what is going to be on the standardized test, and completely ignoring ingrained automatic addition and subtraction, then they have gone too far on the other side.
TLDR, It seems educators got hammered for the "old way" of teaching math that produced little calculators, but some are correcting too far on the conceptual side now, and handicapping children by not giving them tools to quickly add and subtract in their day to day lives.
My experience with DirecTv has been fine. I have been a customer for 4 years now and only lose the signal when its absolutely down pouring outside. After your two year contract is up, call them back and ask for a discount for another year commitment and you get $20 off per month. I have done that twice now. I hope that discount doesn't go away, but with AT&T, I have a feeling they will clamp down on all the super secret best friends discounts available from DirecTv
Maybe its because i have newer equipment than older customers of DirecTv, but in general, the picture is very clear and way higher quality than the crappy cable company alternative (Knology, now WowWay). I have whole home DVR and it works well.
And what was the final failure rate for the space shuttle? 133 launches, 2 catastrophic failures. That is way, way higher than any expected failure rate initially published. All that extra billions and billions of dollars they said they needed didn't give them any edge over reliable cargo launchers.
We are not finding new oil reserves faster than the rate of growth of oil usage.
We are always finding new oil, but the Chinese and other emerging industrial countries are consuming it faster than we are finding it.
New forms of energy are being stifled / legislatively hindered by oil interests. Why else are states trying to pass laws to tax solar panel installations?
Its no coincidence the car had 30 pounds of marijuana in it.
The Supreme Court just condoned Parallel Reconstruction. The gist of it is that the DEA or police obtain information illegally. They then report "anonymous" tips to the police. The police then pull over the car and say "We smelled marijuana." This excuse for illegal search and seizure has already been condoned. Courts have granted police infallible senses of smell. They search the car and find the material they know is already there.
Welcome to police state USA. If someone in power doesn't like you, you can see how it goes.
Its not just cost. As a beginner, your shots go all over and you end up playing very slow. This tends to piss off people behind you and it can make for an unpleasant afternoon after a while.
I am not saying its right or anything, but its definitely a turn off for new players.
You have just described the current state of affairs in the USA.
The war on drugs produces the raw materials (IE, people to put through the system).
The harvesters (the police) get paid for spotting, cutting down and initial rough processing of the raw materials.
The courts (attorneys and judges) do the separating and grading of the rough cut materials.
City and County lockup (jails) do the fine detailing to turn graded rough cut materials into finished products (real, full fledged prisoners)
They then and sell them to businesses (State and Federal prisons) that need the finished products (slave labor prisoners). Call it a business to business transaction.
State and Federal prisons then use their purchased products (slave labor prisoners) in their various industries (manufacturing of electronics, weapons components for the defense industry, you name it).
After the finished product is used up (released from prison), they are recycled and put back through the process.
Its a problem with the computer sciences in general. They keep cannibalizing terms and changing he meaning, like engineer and scientist.
I am an aerospace engineer that specialized in fluid mechanics. Guess what? I know more about computer programming, linux, unix, memory architectures, compiling environments, programming language, etc. than most computer "scientists/engineers".
But I need to know about all those things because I take the theory and discretize it for solution on whatever architecture my company owns at the present time. I can't ask an computer science major to do it.
You need more than some certification to be an engineer or scientist and a lot of computer science degrees are simply collections of network certs.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Confidentially agreements allow companies to hide patterns of illegal behavior. Repeated bad behavior should result in escalating fines and confidentially agreements just make it that much harder for the next victim to show that there is entrenched culture of abuse.
Radiation Pressure is momentum transfer purely with EM radiation, not the plasma ions from the solar wind. It is a very noticeable effect and must be accounted for anything in orbit more than a few hours.
The GRACE experiment utilizes satellites in polar LEO (310km above the Earth's surface) to created detailed maps of the distribution of matter below it. Depending on the configuration of the dark matter, it may not be visible to GRACE. If the dark matter was a spherical shell around the earth, we wouldn't be able to detect if from a position inside the shell.

Get a lawyer.

I've got one sound for ya... Flush. Chewie is gonna be in Episode 7.
This data is exactly how the Chinese put most of the US based solar panel makers out of business.

Dammit Slashdot!! Where are my mod points!!!
They don't do any worse than public schools, even though they kick out bad performing students and don't have to handle special education students.
They remove funding for the public school facilities, which are mostly fixed.
So if they are not any better, even cherry picking from the student body, why have them at all?
If all you want is to be weightless, the Vomit Comet is a much cheaper alternative for about $5,000.
If you are paying the $245,000 premium, I would think they would want to get the official astronaut status of 62 miles.
There is a shortage of skilled labor in the US willing to work for slave labor rates. That is the real story.
And what was the final failure rate for the space shuttle? 133 launches, 2 catastrophic failures. That is way, way higher than any expected failure rate initially published. All that extra billions and billions of dollars they said they needed didn't give them any edge over reliable cargo launchers.
You don't know what peak oil is.

Are they asking for proposals for the scanner from Total Recall?
Give me a monthly bill with:
$10 for Unlimited Music Streaming + $15 for Unlimited TV Show Streaming + $20 for Unlimited Movie Streaming = $45 Total
I would never feel the need to pirate and everyone would win. Throw in a $10 surcharge for multiple device / independent streaming.
Can someone please make this work?
