Roaming still occurs, when you can only get a signal from another carrier's tower. Your company "eats" the cost, though a certain amount is built-in to your bill.
A neat trick a friend of mine used to get out of a contract a couple of years ago - he found a restaurant out in the suburbs where his phone would connect to another company's tower. He'd call a free time service and leave it on for an hour while he ate dinner. After a couple of weeks doing this every few days, the cost of his roaming surpassed his monthly bill (though he wasn't charged, per his contract) His carrier canceled his contract, and he happily signed up with the carrier he wanted.
So what? LEDs have been around for over a century. People usually measure the "arrival" (aka "newness") of a technology when it starts having the biggest impact to society as a whole. Under that definition, both LEDs and CRISPR are very, very new, and we are only just starting to see their impacts.
You're missing the point. It's been around a while. Scientists have been using it for a while. It's a known quantity. It's effects are known. It's effectiveness is known. It's not some unknown technology being let loose to the unsuspecting hordes.
I guess the "million monkeys with typewriters" was completely lost on you. . . The point is that not only do we have to worry about natural mutations causing a pandemic strain, but now we will have a new type of "script kiddie" form of mutation class.
Think of it this way. Trillions of bacteria mutating billions of times over thousands of years under evolutionary pressure to be better and better at infecting and multiplying, and how many truly devastating pandemics have we had? A couple? And you're worried over the fraction of a chance of a fraction of a chance that someone would happen to make a new super-bacteria?
Problem is, even if you know exactly what you are doing, it's still really hard to get gene mods to work at all. Even using a proven splice, it only works a small fraction of the time - you basically have to get lucky.
Probably a non-issue for the foreseeable future in any case. Even the people who *really* know what they are doing have a hard time getting the modifications to propagate, much less do anything at all.
So you could write a tool against LLVM that looks to see which templates are causing problems, maybe output the usage graph to graphviz to help refactor your code...
"Meanwhile, the Moon Agreement (1979) has in effect forbidden states to conduct commercial mining on planets and asteroids until there is an international regime for such exploitation. While the US has refused to sign up to this, it is binding as customary international law"
This guy is a specialist in international law? You didn't sign up for a treaty, but it's still binding? Sure we'll see how that goes.
The current upper-mid to top end cards can just barely keep up with 4k right now, if the OP wants to go that route. You're better off with two mid-range cards in SLI if you want to do 4k at the highest settings.
I read somewhere that they still use tubes in communication satellites for that reason. Because cooling is difficult (no air to draw heat away) tubes are more efficient to send up as you don't need massive heat sinks to keep their solid state counterparts from melting.
If it's anything like the US long-form census, then most of the questions don't seem to have any bearing on policy. Who else lives in your house, where they used to live, the personal history of everyone in your house, down to everywhere they worked, exactly what type of work they did, how much land your house sits on, do you own a stove... It's all SPSS-fodder as far as I can tell.
Most of this stuff is already collected by the BLS, anyways.
Catching up? They are still making improvements to ext2 as their primary filesystem. For most modern use cases XFS or ext4 is being used. For high scalability, btrfs or ZFS is, basically, required.
I think there's something to be said for learning programming on a very simple machine.
First, you need to keep in mind that kids have absolutely no idea how a computer works, at even the most basic of levels. It's a box with a keyboard and stuff happens on the screen. You need to cement the idea that you have to tell the computer to do stuff, and link the idea of coding to that stuff.
This is much easier to do when you have a computer that does pretty much nothing when you turn it on. A flashing cursor comes up and it's waiting for you to tell it what to do. 10 PRINT "HELLO" RUN and it does something. 20 GOTO 10 RUN and it does something else. You get the link between what you're telling the computer to do and what the computer is actually doing pretty quickly.
Compare that with booting up Windows/MacOSX/Linux, getting into your desktop environment, loading up a browser or IDE, creating a new project, explaining the UI of the IDE, making sure you have the right includes to do IO, directing your output to console or a UI object, etc...
Plus, by having each 'police department' in it's own agency, you don't have the problems of them getting distracted all going after pedophiles or something.
The agencies could still have investigators, but if they are worried about safety they can have an FBI officer assigned to them.
The EPA's specialty should be investigating pollution, not defusing a potentially violent situation, which is what the FBI should be used for.
Because most people don't realize that nearly every executive agency has an armed "enforcement" division. It's unbelievably inefficient. There's already an executive branch agency tasked with enforcing federal law - the FBI. Why we also need the treasury department, EPA, BLM, Fish & Wildlife agency, the IRS, the NIH, NOAA, Postal Service, etc... is beyond me.
We need the border patrol, the secret service, and the FBI. Need something guarded? Hire the border patrol. Need something investigated? Call the FBI.
The cost increase to $750 was NOT an example of capitalism, but getting the drug for $1 now instead of $12 IS.
The price hike is absolutely capitalism. Someone thought that the market would bear that price for a good. Unfortunately for that person, it's a commodity item, and any other company could come along and charge much, much less. That happened.
Of course, we're ignoring the byzantine, highly regulated pharmaceutical distribution channels that can choke out competition.

I'm guessing your country has the landmass of a small- to medium-sized US state.
Scale plays a role here.
So you do care. You care-bear, you.
On a scale of 1 to 100, I care 2, so yes, I could still care less.
I've seen spoilers already. There's a "Shocking turn of events" at the end of the movie.
I could care less that I know, I'm still going to see it, but not opening weekend.

They aren't really "Knock-Offs," there really isn't an official manufacturer of "Hoverboards."

Didn't we just recently learn the government is keeping track of ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY?
What difference does this make?
Is someone other than samzenpus allowed to post headlines? The entire front page are all his posts.
Need a little more basic diversity here, meaning more than one person.
It's a phrase that's been beaten to death, but it applies here:
"The correct response to speech you do not agree with is more speech, not censorship."
Read the terms of the lease, they are usually distance-limited.
This would make them useless for even a part-time taxi-style service.

If I were them I'd push btrfs hard.
That well may be the full answer, but is licensing minutiae a really good reason to develop an entirely parallel kernel?
You loose the immediacy - now you have to explain what an editor is, what a file is, why one file will execute and another will not, etc..
It's not a huge hurdle, and would be a great second step, but you are adding additional layers to the "type this - computer does that" connection.

I thought they originally forked from NetBSD then started aligning more with FreeBSD, as FreeBSD had a more up-to-date codebase.
