But DOES matter what the rest does. 1) If you ask 5 people to stop pouring buckets of water in a bath, because it will overflow. Even if 1 does not stop, the difference will still be significant and the 4 that do will be able to stop the fifth one if they want to. 2) We can forbid import from countries that fail the emission targets.
Why will the second part fail? Because we care more about cheap shoes and tv screens than we care about the world for out kids and grand kids. And we use childish excuses like "but HE is doing it." as if we are 6 year old. Yes it will increase prices, just like having a sewer will increase the price of living. At this moment we ARE shitting in our own backyard and try to find excuses so we can keep doing it.
Because if we where willing to block trade, you will see how fast China and every other country will change.
That is also why insuring things with low value individually is stupid. The overhead makes ot as if that is all you are paying. E.g. for a phone or tv. Bevause the adminitrative cost of a contract will not be socialized.
There must be no thieves in Belgium as it is forbidden, by law, to block phones. I change operator about every 1 to 2 years. I buy phones in the mean time when it pleases me. I have the same cell phonenumber since 10 to 15 years. Changing operator is as easy as going into the store, signing up for a new pre-paid card and put it in. A few hours later I get the SMS that the transfer has been done. They even ask how much there is on the old provider, as you will lose that amount. If it is a lot, they advice to do it later, when it is less and not to loose the amount on the competitors sim. Not that much with a prepaid, but if you have a contract and end it too soon, you might pay a LOT.
And all this with unloocked phones.
There are contracts where it is in comination with a phone, but even then I could take the phone and use that with another provider, while I use an old phone with the new contract. So say I want to use an Android and my SO wants to use an iPhone. I can sign up for an iPhone contract, use it with the android and use the Android contract (with the same or a different provider) with the iPhone. Oh, and no roaming costs in Europe. I hope they are working about no extra costs for calling international inside Europe. There are countries that have cheaper contracts.
And all that because there are not any thieves in Belgium. Well, that must be it, otherwise Verizon would be lying and how can a company be lying to their customers. That would be bad for business, right? RIGHT?
GP here. My point was going even further. Pre-install is easiest. If you have pre-install, it does not matter for the customer what OS it is. People use Android tablets and iPhone and a Windows machine next to ech other without any issue.
After that installing Linux is easier than installing Windows. Less frustration when you go with a default install. It is basically clicking 10 times ok, you wait a bit and after a reboot, you have a working machine. The most confusing for a non-user part might be the login and password.
I have let others do their Linux install and said that if they have a question that they have to just click ok and call me if there is a fire or after 1 hour it isn't installed. Really, never an issue as long as they where able to boot the CD or USB.
Every tine I see Americans talk about restaurants, I must think of the fact that fast food is not considered a restaurant in most of Europe, I am aware that technically it is. We also have a differnce between restaurant and brasserie in Belgium.
I go and eat at least 2 times in a restaurant per week. e.g. even if I go and pizza, I will go to a restaurant, not to Pizza Slut. I will go with a few friends, have some wine, coffee and what not. I am there for the company. All without the issue of cleaning it up.
This means getting at the restaurant at around 19:00, get the food at 19:30 or 20:00, be ready with eating at perhaps 21:00 or later. That is during a normal weekday. Once a month we go to some nice place where we will get at around 19:00 and leave at around 01:00 or so. Or if it is lunch arrive at 13:00 and leave at 16:00. None of these places do delivery as the experience is not just the food, it is a social gathering.
Just like you could see movies at home, the reason I go to the cinema is not just the movie, but sharing the experience with friends.
Location will differ from street to street in many places. So not being on a road but in a back alley will not matter for delivery, but might matter for a walk in place. That will mean a big difference in rent.
The place you need to do the same amount will also be a lot smaller.
Example: I used to work for a delivery place several years ago, so numbers are from memory. On a Sunday evening we delivered around 300 1 person pizza's. (standard in Belgium). between 18:00 and 21:00. We had a place that would seat 16 people (4 tables of 4) and those tables where empty all the time. To be able to do the same as a walk in, we would need around 50 tables easy. That means a restaurant that is 10 times as big at least. You would also need parking spaces for all those people . We had 12 mopeds for delivery and 3 cars. Instead of being on a main road, we where somewhere on a side road.
The disadvantage of not being on a main road is advertisement. People seeing your place on the way home helps a lot in sales. So we had to increase advertising. The best thing was folders in the mailbox. That was a LOT cheaper than having to pay for the more expensive location.
If we would deliver to a apartment building where we not yet had done advertising in the last two weeks, the delivery driver would stuff the mailboxes. Next 3 days sales to that building would increase.
PS: Do not make your folders too nice, because people will think it is expensive and won't order.
Reminds me of a friend of mine who had a course about programming concerning the Y2K issue. That way it would be easy to get a job and already have a job. That is obviously a great idea, except for the minor detail that the end of the course was June 2000.
Linux (the OS not the kernel, as opposed to Android which is a different is with a Linux kernel) isnâ(TM)t really setup for the consumer market. It works as a server OS and a workstation OS. But it never caught on for the general public.
But Linux IS setup for the consumer market. Yes, I am talking about the OS, be it XFCE, Gnome, KDE or whatever you want to throw at it. What it is not ready for is the consumer do the installation. That is the same with Windows. Give a person a PC without anything and give them a link to a URL on how to install Windows. See how many users you end up with. The majority will have no idea on how to do it. OK, give them a CD or USB and see how many are able to do it then. Let them do the same with:Linux and see who will able to rpint out a letter with the least frustration.
No, not the Windows CD that comes with the computer. The generic one from the shelf.
The issue is pre-installing. Give them a Linux PC and they will use it. Just as they will use Android or anything else.
Banning mystery sales would not be a bad idea. I think it should ne clear what you are buying. Yes, that would mean they must say what is in you Kinderchocoladr-egg or any surprize "prize". As you might know, we in Europe, even know what we are going to pay, so what you see as price is what you pay.
It would be good if you know at the moment of purchase what exactly you are going to get.
This means opening a second place with a second staffing. second lease to pay. That means extra cost. If you want to open a second business, because your kitchen can not handle any more customers, that might be a valid option. If your business does so well, opening a second restaurant wpuld make more money.
My dad was a sales person. He always told me "The easiest sale is the firsat one. You will always be able to close the first sale. You can lie and cheat how much you like. You can drop the price to 0. You will be able to make the first sale.The hard ones are the sones after that. To make that easier, you have to build a relation. That is the hard part of sales."
nVidia seem to focus on the second (and later) sales to their customers, something they are not sure about with mining. I am sure they would LOVE to get rid of that mining business if it would be possible without hurting the rest. They probably already looking at how they can have fast gaming and slow mining GPUs.
As far as I understand, AI (used in e.g. recognition in self driving cars) also benefit from GPU. So I could see it being a separate type of business where you have GPU without the graphic output being specially made for things where GPU is abused. And this at much lower prices than what we have now available when you look at the price for the speed you get.
So you say that an advertising company, like Google, who gets their income from advertisers is more concerned about the advertising money than the people they use to lure in the product they sell (you)? I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you.
Disclaimer: I knew they where assholes since they raped Dejanews.com and did not care about any of the user feedback. We are not their customers. We are their product. The ONLY think we can do as product is not show up, so they do not have a product to sell to their customers.
One I really visit often is http://dataserver/ with the IP address 192.168.1.27. So please tell me how I should turn that into https without Google Chrome yelling at me that it is insecure.
Sure, I could try to use a name like https://dataserver.example.com... and use the external address instead of the internal one, but that makes it LESS secure.
Not possible with https://certbot.eff.org/ and I am not going to pay for it, if it is possible at all. Yes, I know I cab create my own signature, but Choogle Chrome does not trust it.

Nothing can be good at everything. That is why there are differnt things. Even something as basic as a hammer has multiple versions. Even if you go and look at just nailing, there are several types that are good for one, but bad for another.
Ut zould be news if it where NOT thee case. This "news" is "dog bites man" please come back when it is "man bites dog".
Luckily they are not in the cloud, because that would be unsafe. It is much better to give each individual the database, because what could go wrong?
Or does 'In the cloud' now means 'On a server'? (Was this an example of a rhetorical question).
Not looking at the privacy issues here, just at the technical side of it. Having it on a dedicated server should be a lot safer. The time might go a bit up, but not to seconds. That way when one gets into the wrong hands, it will not be able to abuse it. For a criminal knowing if he will be recognized or not with his fake beard is very interesting information.
Combine it with fingerprint recognition and it should be a lot safer again. Say a device gets stolen and they cut of the police persons finger. That device can still be useless as the device can be blocked from elsewhere. You just block the secure access from that device.
Because what they are doing now is selling the database and you get a free device with it.
If I where a criminal (disclaimer: IANAC) I would not like that they use it, but the way they did it would give me a lot of options.
Not really a prosoners dilemma. The states are able to talk to rach other. Sure, that makes it worse. Several years ago in Belgium Renault closed their doors, while theu opened a new one in Spain with subsidies. That would mean that Spain was paying for people to get fired. So they withdrew the subsidies. That was because they where able to talk.
It also did not help Renault that their excuse of closing was overproduction if you open a new factory elsewhere.
Yes,it might be nice to be able to say "that chineese restaurant next to the flowershop across the church" and have the cabby jnow where it is, but in all my life I had an address when I took a taxi.
What I like is the cars themselves, made specially as a taxi, not just a car where you sit inthe back. Much easier to get in and out of. THAT is service I like to pay for. Bit like first and second class in a plane.
Yes, but will that happen before or after all the other species have died? And in a long term, it could well be that there ARE variations. e.g. the UK ones will be different from the Nordic ones and different from the Alpine ones and so on.

Sure they have a loss per meal, but they make up for it in volume.
