Although we did not decrese the increase, we also di not increase it any further. Once could argue that if we had done noything the increase would not be 1.6, but 3.2.
So instead of have on motor putting out the extra 1.6, we have 2 motors putting out the extra 1.6.
Why would Google want to block ads that are not from Doubleclick? Oh, wait. They are not doing it for our good, they are doing it for their good and by accident it is also for our good.
Just because they are the enemy of our enemy does not them our friends.
That's true. The government's role should be to make the market work efficiently, which means eliminating market failures such as monopolies and negative externalities.
Living in Belgium, I have heard of people buying directly from e.g. VW, go there and pick up the car, for most it is just not worth it. You go to a dealer, select your car, wait 2 months and pick it up.
Most will have just one model in the showroom. If you want something else, it needs to be ordeed.
After I install an app, i first turn off access to th Internet. E.g. for some game. 20% will not work, so I remove them. Many will not even show ads or way less anoying ads. Do this before the first launch. And no phone home. Turn off both wifi and via procider.
As long as there is no accountability the judge can say that gravity is illigal, as long as nothing changes and/or heads roll, it is meaningless. Most likely this just means "We change the law till ot is legal." And that is the best outcome I expect. Most likely nothing will happen.
If you do nothing after your kid stole a cookie, besides telling it not to, he will do it again. Still no consequences? Why worry ? Take some more.
Google has "Do no evil" as a marketing trick. It is much shorter and to the point. Just as much bullshit (I learned when they raped Dejanews way back in 2001) but shorter.
I am waiting for the company that goes all Newspeak. "We are doubleplus good" But then, why should they? They have bought the politicians and the laws, so they should be allowed to say what is right and what is wrong.
I have no idea what deals the telecom providers in Belgium, where I live, have. I just know that I can buy any phone unlocked as requested by law. I can just go to any electronics store and byt any phone or buy one in China or wherever and use it with any of the telecom operators.
And all that without roaming costs inside Europe and they still make a lot of monies.
Yes, there are many people who buy their phone with their plan, but even then you could use that phone for whatever you desire. e.g. I buy a Samsung with a plan at X amount. I use the simcard in my iPhone and give the Samsung to my (imaginary) wife with another provider or to my sister who lives in another country> It will obviously not exclude me from payments, but I am free to use it as I please.
I also have to wonder if doctors prescribe drugs as the easy solution instead telling the patient to make lifestyle choices.
My doctor once told me if I was willing to change my lifestyle (as I am fat) and I said no. He explained me what would happen and prescribed me my year supply of Alipurinol (Gaut prevention).
So should I now go bankrupt because of the way I want to live my life? Am I allowed to tell you what you must eat and do? I hope you anwer is no, because otherwise it would go against everything else that makes you a free man.
My choice ALSO does not mean that it is ok to blackmail me into how I live in name of the Almighty Dollar. e.g. I can not be excluded by law from payout by insurance. In Belgium you could get a request for a physical when you start a life insurance, but none after that. Even if I had an illnes for 15 years that went unnoticed and I was aware of, they must pay out. Obviously I am not allowed to lie on the forms I fill out and fraud is fraud, wherever you go.
The reason doctors are often that easy to prescribe drugs instead of telling people what to do (as my doctor did) is that after a while you notice that those people will not come back after they came into their office. That means less income. In Europe we have no advertisement for medicine, so you are less likely to go to a doctor and say "I want that." Instead you go and say "I have this pain here" and he will gibe you that specific thing or something else or nothing at all.
Now with my history, I can call my doctor and say "I have a gout attack, subscribe me some Colchicine" and he will. But if I have some pain in my stomache, I can't just ask for something. I honestly do not know WHAT I would need to ask as I have never heard of it somewhere in an ad.
It is not just the rest of the modern world. It is all the countries that use Metric that shake their heads. Some people say correlation is not the same as causation, but I am not so sure.
For electric cars, what will be the next big step will be lighter batteries. This both in mass and in efficiency. Because that would mean that the cars can be lighter, that means smaller motors that are lighter. That would mean perhaps even thinner tires and that means less mass and residence.
So yeah, they are comparing their future technology with current ones from the electric competition.

No, an emoticon is a word that has its origins with emotion. It can still mean an emotion, but can be used as words. E.g " I am drinking " and plenty of others. Not an emotion, but can later be interpreted as drinking alcohol. That can be the difference in court between innocent and guilty.

It would never happen with things that are perishable, like tulip bulbs and people will learn from the mistakes made in the past, right?
Recently started using them and I find the results often more relevant than Google.

I dsagree with that. Please ask /. to remove your comment. Previous actions have shown they are able to do so.
Although we did not decrese the increase, we also di not increase it any further. Once could argue that if we had done noything the increase would not be 1.6, but 3.2.
So instead of have on motor putting out the extra 1.6, we have 2 motors putting out the extra 1.6.
I have been a victem of the war on drugs, so can I get discounts now? How am I a victim? I have to pay for jails.

That is socialism. Socialism is bad, mmkay?
They couls start taxing solar to fund the fossil fuel industry. Remember that they can decide who is too big to fail.

You must be new here. Not meaning /. I mean the workings of US political system.
First they added "on the internet" to any patent. Now they are going to add "on a self driving car" to it.

Nice newborn you are going to have there. Would be a shame something happened to it.

Never knew being innocent was that easy.

Without telling us what the standard average is, it is still meaningless. That 2.14 is how much of a deviation for these specific drugs?
Except they where the ones who wanted out. Calling the Scots English is bad enough, now you call then metropolitan elites?
