They're not trying to regulate Uber's operations everywhere, though, just in Austin. Do you think they should not be able to define what a private car or taxi service is within the city limits and what requirements companies must meet in order to operate one there? Just because it's a pain for Uber to have to deal with local regulations doesn't mean that that's not the approprate place for those to occur.
If the laws are unjustly stifling, it's a lot easier to change a local law than a statewide one.
Perhaps, but it's more efficient to use the paper receipt in the voting booth and skip the voting machine for that stage, instead having a single or small number of optical counting machines per polling location. That way the cost of expanding the number of booths is inexpensive - you just need some walls of any opaque material, a writing surface, and a marker.
Big power hungry desktops don't use 200 watts anymore.
Mine peaks out around 300W, and it is a delicate flower. Building a serious VR rig will easily get you up over 600W real-world power consumption.
I doubt that you need 600W for a serious VR rig unless you are seriously price-constrained to the absolute least costly parts that get the performance you desire and don't care a bit about how much waste heat or noise you're producing.
Haha, no, we're using the right amount of a less-scarce resource to save on some other more-scarce resource. When electricity is cheaper than elbow grease, it makes no sense to substitute the latter for the former.
Incidentally, generally speaking LCD TVs are still a step back from plasma. AMOLED on the other hand...
You got some specs on that? All of the plasma TVs I recall from the period where Plasma TVs were popular had the same dyamic range as LCDs do - roughly 1000:1. Which pales in comparison the range that could be achieved by old CRT displays.
CRTs never had an inferior picture, they were always inferior in other categories due to factors like needing to maintain a vacuum and protect viewers from bremsstrahlung radiation.
Higher power density is not the same thing as higher energy density. Energy density is the integral of power density over time - they can have higher power density for a shorter period than lithium batteries and still make that statement correct.
I'm not sure about the external fluids as electrolytes bit, though. Do supercaps use electrolytes? That part sounds more like fuel cells.
so.. it has the desired effect - budget concious customers hold off until the price drops, and those who really need the items right now can still get them albeit at a higher cost. Would you rather they keep the price constant and run out and then no one can get the item at any price for a while?
Number of tabs shouldn't matter. They should go into an idle state and then get swapped out if they're using too much memory that's needed for something active.
Or just drop everything in them except the address and reload the page when the user switches to the tab, since chrome seems to like to do this for half the sites anyway.
Also, people aren't "using too many tabs." People are using tabs as a workaround for snap-back functionality being removed.
If they require that money changes hands, can they really set the direction? Google is an advertising company, and it seems these snippets are basically ads driving traffic to the publishers.
In that case, Google can probably just charge them to have their snippets included...
Correct. No one is saying it. They're desperately hoping people will draw that conclusion though, otherwise they'd use different language when making allegations of Russian influence.
Ice air-base, actually, and they were planning to cast the thing in place first rather than carve out an existing iceberg because they wanted to mix the ice with sawdust? to make it tougher.
I'm not sure what the benefits would've been of installing the machinery inside other than that it woudl be as protected enemy attack as anything else behind the pykrete armor.
Legally, rights are just limits on government power. They are granted by the Constitution, which is kind of the government
In the context of the constitution, rights are presumed to be intrinsic to the individual. They are protected by the constitution.
This is somewhat a matter of belief - if people believe the above misconception that rights are granted by some kind of authority, it becomes the truth, and those who lust for power will seek to become that authority and decide what rights to bestow.
Nowadays, she would be safer with a Windows box than she was back then. But that ship has sailed, and she's still much safer with her ios stuff than she ever was on an open platform.
Two years ago she'd have been safer with the windows box, but now the windows box itself is the attacker.
This service already existed. It was called OnLive, and it was actually quite a bit better than you'd expect in terms of image quality and lag. I'm not really sure why it failed, but my guess is that people just don't want to consume video games the same way they consume video content - the replay value of many games may make consumers of a subscription service feel like they're double-paying for stuff.
Anyway, if the same factors are in place, I expect a microsoft version of OnLive to do just as well as the original.
Not true. I look at both. Energy star it means this appliance uses less than some average for that appliance.
No, it means it is expected to use a specified amount of energy, given a particular set of standard operating conditions. You use it to compare one device to another device. If you're just looking for whether the sticker is present, you're using it entirely in the wrong way.
Where are you buying appliances where they even have a significant number of non-energy star models?
A list of TV's that are known not to be vulnerable, or a list of TVs whose vulnerability is not yet known? The first list is pretty easy. The Smart TVs that are definitely not vulnerable to hacking:
By plugging one more thing into a slot that exists but is currently unused, he can avoid trying to migrate all the data on the 2TB spinning rust drive to an SSD, but still get most of the benefits of having the SSD.
I'm really not sure how the insurance companies, in their lustful greed for Obmacare forcing people to buy insurance, couldn't see that they would have been next against the wall.
I feel like they have the idea that they'll be the ones administering "single-payer".
Actually the problem is that people aren't able to compare airlines based on space. You can sort by price, departure time, number of stops, airline, connection time, total time, arrival time, but I've not seen a flight booking site offer filters based on amenities or comfort metrics of any kind.
In the absence of that information, people are going to be making decisions without consideration of those things and so the airlines will race to reduce their costs.
This market failure is not caused by a lack of regulation of seat size, but by a lack of important information. There is apparently a desparate need for a new flight booking service to provide that information.
No it isn't. It decouples the numerical time from the solar time, ruining sundials everywhere. Also, it takes effect during a period where there's already plenty of evening sun, so what's the point?

Why do they call it a "hustle" in their ads anyway? "Hustle" is more commonly used to refer to a scam than to legitimate moonlighting.

Why is UHD useless? do they just not have any offering?

Amazon is experimenting with that. How long before "Jay's Supermarket" is a 3rd party vendor using Amazon's physical presence package?

How can they just take money with no consideration provided? If it were a contract it'd be invalid.
