if it is going to give a tax break, it should give it to everyone. Then it would have no influence on on what kind of business you want to promote.
Well, you should evaluate whether promoting a specific kind of business really is beneficial to your constituents' interests and if after doing that, you determine that it is, then you should offer tax breaks for the kind of business, not to a specific company that is in that kind of business. Any businesses of the kind you want to promote should be able to take advantage of your incentives.
Incentives of that sort will still encourage businesses to come to your city, but without disadvantaging your already-present businesses in that field to the newcomer, and more importantly, your local businesses taking advantage of the incentive will have more resources to grow into your goals. The downside is that there aren't any ribbon cuttings for 1000 local businesses ogranically adding 10,000 employees, like there would be for getting a single new 1000 employee business to move in.
Why? Overclock performance might be interesting to some use-cases, and if it runs stably, I'm not sure you can even say it is overclocking just because it's not running at the most efficient clock speed. Maybe the fancy high TDP setup is the design point and all the other uses are under clocking.
Why shouldn't they demo whatever speed they want, as long as they don't try to hide the power and support infrastructure required to operate at that speed or use a specially-crafted use case that disguises stability problems.
Yeah, but do they really need a ticket agent when there isn't a train picking up passengers? You could put the ticket booth on the train itself and cater to all of un-manned stations with just one agent. Or forget the booth and just have the conductor sell tickets to people who didn't pre-buy them.
If the train doesn't even have a conductor then.. I guess they don't care if people pay, even?
USB access should default to no, have a setting where it's just full off, and a setting where you can limit it to select machines that you've "paired" it with. How often do you connect a phone to a machine that isn't your own and want that machine to have access to your photos and contacts and app data? Isn't it more likely that any machine that isn't the one you sync with, you just want to use it to charge the battery?
So just tell her upfront? "Yeah... I don't like supporting slavery, so this is a lab diamond instead." (Still requires not buying from DeBeers. Get your lab diamond somewhere else.) If she'd rather have a natural diamond in the face of that, I'd suggest reviewing how well you know her.
Indeed, how can you even trust DeBeers claim that their lab diamond really was formed in a lab and not just taken from their pile of probably blood diamonds, but here's a piece of paper that says these particular ones are "conflict free".
I am so glad that we standardized on liquid fuel cars, although I am amused by the idea of shoveling a pile of coal into a hopper to be able complete a morning commute and arriving at work covered in a thin layer of coal dust. (I assume in New Jersey, shovel access would be restricted.)
The question is where the feral cats are acquired and the where they're released. They can be reducing the overall number of feral cats while still irresponsibly increasing the concentration in "this nice park that's way better place to live than the street" which they happen to not realize or care is home to the protected owl species.
Seems I'm not much of a write myself. Stupid submit button too close to the "continue editing" button. (that's what I'm going with, anyway).
Anyway, I probably would've edited that to tone down the director and writes blame, since as a viewer I don't really know who made the decisions that lead to the final result. There could've been some writes whose great stuff was left on the cutting room floor for one reason or another, and parts of the film still worked, I think.
Because it wasn't a Star wars movie. It was a deconstruction of a Star Wars movie, set in something like the Star Wars universe, but much smaller, re-casting the conflict not as a grand galactic civil war, but more as a Montague vs. Capulet feud (which.. they probably should've cribbed some music from for the score...) Some of the plot points were seemingly added specifically to turn off long-time fans, and plot threads were abruptly cut off rather than satisfyingly explored or simply left for the next film.
They even explained what they were doing in the movie
As a movie, I thought it had a mediocre plot (they just had too much time to fill for basically 33 from the battlestar galactica), with exceptional scenery, props, and costumes. A lot of really good work was done by basically everyone but the director and writes. It wasn't terrible from a film standpoint, if it were made on its own by a competing company as a farce, but It was basically a giant troll of star wars fans.
Surely he's making a deliberate reference, which he assumes or intends to be an ironic reference, which time will tell whether merely turns out to be prophetic.
Doesn't that also mean that the people for whom the federal tax credit would be the biggest relative benefit will be likely to miss actually getting the benefit, though?
What that ability gives you is a moment's pause when the figures the calculator gives you aren't within the magnitude or narrower range your head-arithmatic thinks is close to the answer. Then you go over your figures and either find you made an entry mistake, or learn something new about number relationships.
I'm assuming the spellchecker flagged it, but the poster assumed it was exactly the false positive they were complaining about? Or didn't flag it, for the same reason.
Prosecutors always go for the maximum they can charge so... it will probably be settled in a plea bargain and never go to a jury trial.
You don't think maybe there is a problem with the legal system when this is a thing? That prosecutors have a tool they can use to avoid having to prove their cases? That they not only have the will to do this, it is basically standard operating procedure at this point?
You're making the other AC's point. The government will weasel any wording in pursuit of the its goals, if you let them.
also..
Even if you want to set that aside, we don't allow citizens to have missiles, nuclear bombs, flame throwers and tanks either.
I'm not sure that any of those are actually specifically forbidden.
Elon Musk famously gave away a bunch of what he called flame throwers in a recent marketing gimick, and I'm fairly certain that anyone who can afford to produce a nuclear bomb would be able to buy enough congressoids to get an exception to any such laws if they wanted to own one. That's the real barrier to those particular weapons - they're enormously expensive to obtain and anyone who can afford to get one probably would rather just make more money instead.
There's a huge loophole even in that plan - what happens when you liquidate the company? Does the data become available to whoever purchases the assets, in whole or in part?
If you allow the data to persist through the death of the company, that can be exploited to sell the data, or just allow it to enter the hands of an entity that the users themselves never expected nor desired to have it.
They're using the word wrong. Metadata isn't data. It's the description of the data. The database column names are metadata, the widths of the fields, if defined, are metadata, the relationships between separate tables are metadata. The routing data needed to connect parties for a conversation are data. Just because some datum of information isn't the conversation itself doesn't magically make it not part of the data.
Then encrypt your mail. The physical world equivalent to sending an unencrypted email is a post card. Don't write anything on a post card or an email you wouldn't be comfortable with anyone along the delivery route reading.
I can't encrypt the mail that my dummy friends and acquantences send to me. The only way that will ever happen is for encrypted mail to be so easy that it's almost more effort not to. The post office is big enough that postal-email a thing, they could deliver certificates by regular mail, and you could absolutely get as much security out of usps encrypted email as you could get out of sending a security envelope via first-class mail, and the "encryption habit" would allow genuine security to also be something people do.
Several problems. 1) Who is going to pay for it? What is the business proposition to USPS? 2) We already have email through countless other sources. 3) USPS has no demonstrated competence in this sort of product.
1a) Users would have to, via subscription fees. Similar to having a PO box. 1b) The laws that apply to first class mail would have to apply to email as well, and the post office could manage a certificate store for a somewhat better than post-card level of security that develops the habit of using encryption. 2) sure, but no one has the force of law they way USPS does. Intercepting usps email and fraudulent email via that service would be federal offences. It wouldn't eliminiate eavesdropping, but it would change and hopefully limit somewhat who was doing it. The presumption of security would potentially allow certain transactions to be conducted via email that are now conducted only via regular mail or via fax, and with greater actual security than the fax option. 3) Yeah that one is probably a significant hurdle. They can't get become competent by not doing it though.

Why is geothermal less than 8%? Is there some quality of the landscape or magma that makes it unsuitable for geothermal, compared to Iceland?

As the migration from DVD in the Datacenter to Streaming in AWS was made Oracle was switched with Cassandra.
A database product called, "Cassandra"? Name's a little on-the-nose, isn't it?
