There is no good reason for the financial services company that bundled these policies to be allowed to disclose any of this. I certainly would not use a company that can't keep their mouths shut.
Some enterprising individuals are doing exactly that and selling "used" Teslas over list price. There are some buyers who are willing to pay the premium to eliminate the hassles of out-of-state purchase and to avoid the waiting list for a new one. (Yes, the tax on the resale is part of the markup).
Who's the batch of asshats who are reaming her dad out like this anyway? Sounds like it's time to shine a Slash dotlight on 'em.
Nonsense. The school negotiated in good faith and came to an acceptable settlement--quite favorable to the plaintiff, when you consider that he didn't have to prove that they had done anything wrong. It's not their fault that the Snays immediately violated the terms of the settlement.
I have one data file, started over ten years ago, still under SCCS. The downstream flow uses the metadata. It's not worth changing. The whole flow will be replaced RSN.
First by rank (13 buckets) then by suit (4 buckets). I can typically sort a well-shuffled deck of bridge cards in about 85 seconds. That's far from the world record, but significantly faster than most people can do.
In the 1920's and 30's, "ethyl" (leaded gasoline) was the more expensive grade. By the 1940s, virtually all gasoline contained TEL and manufacturers designed engines with higher compression ratios to take advantage of the fuel. So, by the 1970s, unleaded gasoline required more expensive octane boosters to work in modern engines.
Today, lead additives for vehicle fuel are banned in almost all countries.
Under the proposal, the donor of the egg would have no parental rights. That is logical, since mtDNA carries very little information, compared to nuclear DNA.
There is no genetic modification involved so there is no "intellectual property" vested in the DNA of the offspring. From that standpoint, this is no different from conventional in-vitro fertilization.
I was in design engineering for 30 years and had about ten managers over the course of my career. One of them was excellent. Of course, he got promoted...
Ah, lead. Sugar of Lead (lead acetate) has been a popular artificial sweetener since Roman times. If your ancestors were anything more than peasants, they drank it.
My great-grandfather graduated from Milwaukee High School in 1878. He first attended a "normal school" with the intent of becoming a teacher, but found the opportunity to learn stenography and to operate a writing machine. The Scholes & Glidden machine had been developed in Milwaukee in 1874, and the manufacturers set up schools to teach students how to use them. These were very temperamental machines and were tricky to use. (At that time, you could not see the text that had been typed without lifting the platen). His first professional job was as a type-writer for the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut. Meanwhile, his long-time pen-pal in Chicago had learned how to use the machines at her father's office. They began exchanging letters in type-written form, which must have been considered, for that time, as high-tech as any Internet romance would have been in 1995. They were married in 1883. My great-grandfather and his brother-in-law went into business together, selling the machines across the Midwest.
This is not news. Natural gas lines leak--they always have. It has nothing to do with whether the utility is public or private. It has nothing to do with US politics. Natural gas utilities all over the world operate their systems at low pressure to minimize the leakage and fix significant problems when they're detected. It sounds like Duke students discovered something that civil engineers have known for 100 years.
Interesting. No, DEC did not ever pay a dividend. The IPO was 375,000 shares at $22/share on 18 August 1966. I'm not able to compare that to later market caps, since I don't have a record of all the subsequent secondary offerings and splits. DEC's market cap peaked in 1987 at $26.6 billion. It fell dramatically from there, to $6.7 billion in December 1991. The sale of the company to Compaq for about $9.6 billion ($2 billion cash plus stock) was announced on 26 January 1998.
To an investor, the value of a share is the discounted sum of all future dividends. It is expected that companies will not pay dividends while they are in their growth phase. That does not detract from the valuation; it enhances it. However, if the company NEVER intends to pay any dividends, then one would purchase a share only with the intent of selling it to some greater fool. That is speculation, not investment.
Yes, that is the usual course of successful companies. The difference in this case is that Amazon's president, chairman and CEO all seem to be oblivious to the inevitable transition.
The article does not really address the end-game. Will Bezos ever allow the company to return value to the shareholders or is he truly "not wired that way"? There is no value in holding shares in a company that NEVER shows a profit. Shareholders can have lots of fun trading them, as long as the promise--or at least the hope--of future earnings is out there, but that's just a "greater-fool" game that usually ends badly.
I would rather write documentation all day long than write tests. Developing a good test suite is hard. (Putting together a crappy set of tests is easy, but of no value). As much as I hate developing a test suite, though, I love having it when it's time to make a release.
I had forgotten that thing. I used a 4014 in 1979-1980. Apparently, our design automation department had acquired it as an experiment, but it was almost useless, since we had very little software (on the IBM mainframes) which could make use of it. I think I did manage to get curves and waveforms from SPICE simulations onto it. I still carry the Tektronix ASCII reference card that came with it.
To be clear, I think what the summary should have said "the developers recreated the appearance of a terminal using an emulator which covered the page in black and then revealed each character by erasing a character-sized rectangle from that cover, one-by-one, line-by-line". The actions described are those of the terminal emulator. Saying "terminals would draw..." makes the historic video terminals, and not the emulator, the subject of the entire subordinate clause, which is obviously wrong.

You are correct on both points. Apparently no one else read past the headline.

Genuine question: people still use SCCS?

Specifically, Algeria, Iraq, Yemen and Myanmar are known to still sell gasoline containing TEL at the pump.

Not everyone accepts the assumption that "wants" are infinite. They are certainly variable and, in many cases, conditioned.

Beat Gates and Osberg at duplicate bridge and you'll have something to talk about.

Amazon went public 16 years ago. Any capital still invested in them at this point can no longer be considered "venture capital".
