HOWEVER, a great deal of the protections that organized labor used to provide are now provided BY LAW. This makes the labor unions somewhat superfluous.
Because it's completely impossible for laws to be repealed.
And don't care about living in a relatively comfortable manner, nor having a girlfriend/wife, or family, or children.
Regardless of how much you "love" something, there are very few people who would only want to do that for their entire life to the sacrifice of everything else, which is what current pay results in.
just making sure the switches you have are performing
Or simply making sure they are switches. I've seen lots of old infrastructure that is still using hubs. Replacing those gives things a nice performance kick at minimal cost and effort.
It is a vaccine as it stimulates production of appropriate antibodies to bind to nicotine, which then makes it impossible for it to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Look at how fast we can visually process already. A good FPS player will notice lags of a few ms.
Actually, a bunch of that is interpolation trickery. You'll see an object in motion further along its (predicted) path than it is when you're seeing it to compensate for lag. This works very well when the object is moving in a fairly linear manner, but if something unexpected happens, you'll see a sort of deja vu effect where it goes back to where it was a second ago. This phenomenon is responsible for a lot of bad referee calls in sports
why not make driving a car a right? That technology and privilege has been around for nearly a century. I'll tell you why, because it is only a privilege
Do car dealerships generally reject people from purchasing a car based on where they live?
What happens when Technology surpasses what it is today and it's no longer termed broadband, will they modify the law or create a new one?
Presuming they pay attention to keeping their regulations current.
His solution after becoming president? A "residual force" of more than 50,000 troops which will remain indefinitely. Well, so much for that...
IMO, simply packing up and leaving on some arbitrary timetable is irrational and likely to create even more problems in future.
Also, not really anything new. There are still over 40,000 US military personnel (Mostly Air Force and Marines) in Japan, another 35,000-ish in South Korea (Not unreasonable given the neighbors), and over 100,000 scattered around Europe (Much of those in Germany).
It's not the throughput you're noticing. It's the seek latency, at which SSDs are many times faster (comparing Intel's X-25M to WD's 10K RPM Velociraptor, you're looking at about 65x faster. Comparing to a 7200rpm drive, you're looking at about 100x difference.) than mechanical drives.
Law is the programming language for the system of society. The problem is, rather than doing exactly what you told it to do, regardless of whether that's what you wanted it to do, the system makes every possible effort to interpret the code in such a way so that it doesn't have to do what you instructed it to do.
The generation systems are fine, it's the transmission system that is horribly vulnerable, both to deliberate damage or just random crap (refer to the 2003 northeast blackout. A single down line cascades and takes out 1/6th of the country). All the generation security in the world isn't worth anything if you can force the plant down (over 250 plants had to shut down due to the 2003 blackout) by taking out the grid.
Though I do very much agree the concern over "hackers" is far overblown.
I wasn't saying opening up the market wasn't a good idea, I was just stating that I do not think it is nearly enough to create and maintain an functional competitive market.
Space is not the issue, cost is. Running coax or fibre or whatever costs a ton of money. Unless the companies are willing to operate at a massive loss for many years (if not forever. Remember, comcast already has the network infrastructure and can cut their rates much lower than any new competitor can), having competition starting up their own network infrastructure is not a feasible method of introducing competition.
What do you mean sacrifice power? The prius' regenerative braking already has this kind of effect. It doesn't completely eliminate pad wear, but it fantastically extends the life of the pads. There are ones out there with over 100k miles still using the factory pads.
Comparing incandescent bulbs to CFLs is like comparing an electric heater to an air conditioner. Both change the temperature, but they work in very different ways and one is a lot more complex than the other, and consequently, harder to get right.
Flash cells have a finite number of write-erase cycles (typically on the order of tens of thousands to millions). Defragging uses those up for no good reason, and thus shortens the lifespan of the drive.
And I bought a so-called "dimmable CFL" which died 5 minutes after I installed it in my living room dimmer switch.
Have a look at that dimmer switch and the wiring. Had the same problem myself, the problem turned out to be a bad ground wire. Incandescents had no problem in that fixture.

chernobyl also had a design where when the emergency shutdown system started, it actually increased reactor power for a split second
That was due to the stunning design of the control rods.
And people that actually love it.

Wouldn't fix the root problem, but doing something like adding labels like "purple" to objects would be helpful.
