Wrong premise. Click-throughs were always dubious, and a silly way to measure the impact of an ad. When was the last time you bought something through a movie poster or billboard?
Did you notice what's not on that list? Cities. All of the urban and suburban development in California accounts for less than 10% of the state's annual water usage (the vast, vast majority is used for agriculture), and the number is dropping every year, as more efficiency and water recycling programs come online.
Sure.. That agricultural usage is completely unrelated to the cities.
It's not the wild west. Device in that category still have power and other requirements and must be type-certified by the FCC. The low power (really low propagation...) requirement is precisely what allows an "unlicensed" band to be able to exist, but is a hindrance to things like cell-phones or broadcast anything if you want to have good coverage without having to put stations literally everywhere.
I agree that for those purposes the spectrum should be leased rather than sold, though. It both provides a mechanism for us to evaluate whether a use continues to be valuable and to sunset particular uses (through choosing not to continue the lease after the term is up.) The leases should be auctioned, though.
Blah blah blah, I don't understand the concept of opportunity cost therefore people should ignore the expense of replacing equipment that is a little wasteful of a resource that is currently very cheap.
You don't need a 1kWe monster for day-to-day tasks, but if you want to have one for special tasks (computer game playing might be a hobby of yours, and is certainly less energy intensive than other hobbies you might have. Auto racing, for example), it might not make sense to also have an 80W computer for general use.
To pay off a $300, 80W machine in this scenario, at US prices you'd need to have like 3000 hours of low-intensity computing tasks. That's the break-even point assuming you're comparing it to a 1kWe monstrosity. If your gaming machine is closer to 500W (still pretty beefy, I'd think, and plenty of quad cores will fit into a balanced machine with that kind of power usage. At least a high mid-range device), it's closer to 6000 hours for break-even.
And it gets worse. It's unlikely that your 1kW monster is actually going to use the full power of all of its components when doing the general tasks, further eroding the advantages the smaller machine has.
You can, but you're sending information from yourself to the moon. If there are two communication stations and you flick your dot between them, they can't communicate with each other using the dot.
Why mount it on the roof? Cut the panels into attractive leaf-like shapes and mount them on several poles driven securely into the ground, pour a patio in between the power flowers. You can put your energy garden anywhere on your property*.
Not selling phones in one country (and.. not refusing to sell phones, just not being allowed to) for the reason of protecting your customers' security when every other phone company had already caved?
Yeah, I'm sure that wouldn't have helped their sales anywhere else.
We had those in my state as well. They were awful.
First, they had a "master lever" so that people wouldn't have to think about their votes (except for the non-partisan races that people using the master lever often neglected...)
Even more egregious was that the commit action was tied to the curtain release lever, so people who needed help with something would sometimes (maybe as much as half the time...) pull that to open the curtains, ending their vote, and it was not reversible.
The final tallys had to be read from a paper tape, and I don't envy anyone trying to do a recount on miles of calculator ribbon.
Finally, they were gigantic and heavy, so we only had a few per precinct, leading to long lines everywhere.
There are plenty of self-driving trains, the surprising thing is how many aren't yet. Planes are essentially self-driving now, at least runway-to-runway. I don't see any technical reason why they couldn't be gate-to-gate. An airport is a controlled environment, so it should be easier to keep track of the ground traffic.
Because the cost of a taxi is mostly the cost of the driver. Cut that out and taxis become an economically viable replacement for more people.
No one can deny that there are a number of circumstances where taxis are more convenient that having to deal with your own car. Cost and other factors get in the way.
Which is nice if you don't do it that often. But.. why not just put an accelerometer in the monitor and have it report its orientation to the OS? If we can fit one in an mp3 player, we can fit one in a monitor.
If you fill it with pure nitrogen, the majority component of air, it should be possible to get some buoyancy out of it and still have a tenuous justification for calling it air. The balloons would have to be pretty enormous, though.
Ok, but I'm not sure that it's an insult then. If his shows became garbage, that implies they had a period during which they were not garbage preceding the garbage period. In other words, a period existed, however briefly, when they were not garbage. Frankly, that is a pretty good record for anyone in the television business.
So, you don't think that finding common characteristics that are good predictors of behavior provides information that can be used in researching the root cause?

How do you know? Maybe they're talking about a separate room filled with CAD workstations.

Or, maybe google offer create a fee structure for listing something in google news that covers the IP cost plus a reasonable administrative fee.
Yet on money, only Uber drivers will be doing that....
Yes, thank you for your post, Coal industry.

Surely the less you learn about it, the more effective your knowledge will be...

I do not miss those machines.
It's not winter yet. Although winter is coming.

But a car that's on his property is more immediately available than one that's sitting in the depot in the larger town 30 minutes away.

Pre-orders? Orders without listening first? Maybe Apple's charts aren't 100% based on apple's own sales data?
Your math doesn't include the remaining delta-v budget of those 10N thrusters...
Pillor me if you want, but every show this man touched eventually got cancelled or became garbage. Long live Glen Larson!!!
Isn't that every show that isn't still on the air?
By dipping into the cocoa reserves, built up from years when it was the opposite.
The real question is this:
by 2030, they think the deficit could reach 2 million metric tons.
Just how deep are the cocoa reserves?
So, you don't think that finding common characteristics that are good predictors of behavior provides information that can be used in researching the root cause?
