Agriculture in general, but especially third world agriculture, is worse. If we were still farming at medieval rates, we'd be dying of hunger and need to cut down all of the forest near any populated area.
Not enough data is available to make definite predictions. It's like the bee population, it dipped for a while a few years ago, but bee populations recovered. We don't really know why it happened, but we have more bees now than we had before. Sure, some people had entire hives die but we don't know why, the media just made it sound it was global because they picked reports from people having 'sudden' colony deaths, but based on the data, it seemed all was normal.
Same for this, check again next year before you make predictions about a crisis borne from a cycle we don't quite understand yet. Sure, the top of the ocean is warming, the bottom is cooling however and we don't have accurate data that's older than ~50 years.
I think it demonstrates more that $29 is a fair price for an OEM battery replacement. You can go to various outlets in local shopping malls to get your cell phone batteries replaced, they'll also end up costing close to $30-50 and people are happy to pay for it so people that really care about it, have it done.
Us? Obama bailed out big business and banks. I never got a check, matter of fact, my taxes went up because I was poor, now Trump makes my taxes go down.
You're lucky. I had a local TWC subsidiary which charged me $45 for years. Then TWC took over control of all it's local subsidiaries and they started with $15/month for the modem, then they didn't upgrade from the paltry 10Mbps to 15Mbps and then Charter merged with TWC and the 15Mbps was never going to become 100Mbps unless you accepted their new pricing structure which has increased year over year.
During the 10-15Mbps years they were also pinching Netflix and YouTube (after "net neutrality" legalized preferential traffic) on the 15Mbps account or I would've kept the old pricing.
Cable providers have been raising prices by 20-25% every year. They are the ones coming in at $45/month for the first year and then go to $150, then to $200 for a standard cable package.
The license cost is for a patent pool that is still quite generic and is on top of the actual chip and its cost.
Apple and Qualcomm have negotiated license exchanges but Apple seems to have nothing that Qualcomm wants except a boat load of money. Apple could pay it but then all its suppliers will start charging a shakedown/licensing fee.
COBRA coverage has been a thing since 1985, well before ACA was established. With ACA being cut down, the job market is flourishing with record unemployment. In the tech world, we have big shortages all around, people are snatching up the best candidates everywhere.
You can often take it out of the contract. I've gotten a few non-competes and 'all your code past, current and future belong to us'; refused to sign, got threatened with "you can't work here if you don't" by some HR goon and then let the bosses fight it out, if you're a qualified candidate or good worker, they'll bend to hire/keep you. I've similarly gotten "our HR wage standards for this job are between this value and this value, you're asking for 20% more than the highest value for your category" - same thing, I was exempted and have been 'over my target salary' for about a decade.
That's the only condition under which I sign non-competes. The job market is prime for job seekers, with the most qualified ones being snatched up in a matter of days, there is no reason to agree to a non-compete.
If you're already under a non-compete, quit or have the agreement rescinded. If you're valuable, your employer will agree to bend the rules.
Trains are being used to haul cargo but trains have the drawback of being stuck on a rail so you can't be flexible with them and loading/unloading costs money too.
Businesses gravitate towards the cheapest options available overall. For example, if you have a low production volume or small items that need to go to various different places fast, you can't fill a train so trains become costly and ineffective, same with trucks so you may be relying on UPS or your own trucks + flights + trucks. Sure it's expensive and wasteful if you can fill a train, but filling a train is often not an option.
Economics is difficult but at least capitalism gives you the incentive to find the lowest cost (and subsequently lowest energy) option for your situation.
This case was about a child with munchhausen that the parents believed to be real. The child was put in psychiatric care and custody awarded to the state by a judge.
Unless you believe the judge was in on the "hospital making profits", once it goes past a trial, the judge must have had serious proof the parents were both wrong and non-cooperative to award custody to someone else, a judge will demand second opinions from third parties. The hospital can't tell their side of the story to the media so you have to ignore everything the parents say on the topic and look at the outcome.
Based on perspective, we're just slaves to pets, cattle and animals then too, especially cats. For most of history, we've been running away from most animals and often represented them as or in gods, the rest we feed and take care of as if our life depended on it.
On the other hand it's not "impossible". Some trees communicate when a leaf eating 'monster' (giraffe) is nearby and excrete foul or even poisonous (to the giraffe) taste into their leaves. It's not impossible for something to have a 'memory' of sorts, even our computers have inputs, processing, memory, outputs, but that doesn't make it sentient, it's just been 'programmed' (by evolutionary pressures) to behave a certain way.
Hospitals and governments don't just take on kids for no reason at all. It typically happens in extremely abusive situations. Mothers especially have exemptions from most abuse and child protection laws, it must go pretty far for a family court to NOT award custody to the mother, let alone, not to either parent or grandparent etc because usually one of them is considered reasonable enough.
I've been on committees that oversaw Jehovah's Witness hospital cases, they'd let their children die over violating their leaders' rules. In most cases, state or hospital custody was a rare and temporary situation only after serious complications of the alternative treatments their own leaders recommended hadn't yet killed the child and as soon as treatment was done, custody was reverted (and in some cases, the parents then dismissed the child from the hospital and flew to a hospital where a religious 'doctor' was present - a few of those doctors later on lost their accreditation).
Dogs do as well. Why do we have locks at all if it never stops anything if you're not home? Generally it takes more skill, time and preparation to penetrate any defense, typically your locks, doors and walls give you enough time to respond when someone does break in and increases the risk to get caught. It takes about 1h to cross the view distance of a border patrol officer without wall. If a wall delays a group about 1-2 hours, this doubles or quadruples the effectiveness of the same number of border patrol agents.
Given we pay $2B in salaries per year just to patrol the border wall, a wall over doubling the presence of border patrol would save money 2-3 years down the line.
We had plenty of immigrants rushing the military presence at the border on a daily basis. They are burning flags. MS13 and other gangs/drugs/gun runners now run their own government in portions of Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Belize and a number of other South American states, some argue even a number of Texas towns where police don't want to go in certain neighborhoods at night.
Yeah, this place has become an extremist left-wing haven. I remember when Wikileaks were considered the good guys by this site, but then they went after the DNC and suddenly they were eeeevil.
Perhaps you should read some Marx, Lenin or Hitler; their movements were considered socialism (more extreme versions of the French socialist philosophers). Communism is just a socialist government taken to its end goal, as Marx clearly stated in his communist manifesto, democratic capitalism must fail through the mechanism of democratic socialism in order to bring about communism (dictatorship by the masses/proletariat).
Socialism is a great idea, if you have unlimited funds (or energy) and there is no reason for anyone to ever need something from someone else.
Sure, if the vendor keeps track of it. Most likely not. It also seems Motorola has only cheap devices in that range, so this was almost definitely a burner.
They only get back-pay at the mercy of the government. In the past that's been the case but nothing like both Dems and Reps at this point trying to throw each other under the bus by not giving it and then pointing the finger at each other.

Because that's not how government works. You can't just pass budgets for the things you like and never pass a proper budget.

Nice troll though.

So they should walk out then. Force dems to pass a bill or remain stuck in Hawaii.

Where in the constitution did that happen? ATC on private/state property (airports) should be handled private/state.
Yeah, this place has become an extremist left-wing haven. I remember when Wikileaks were considered the good guys by this site, but then they went after the DNC and suddenly they were eeeevil.
IF you have nothing to hide etc...

Expired certs are still certs, it doesn't impact security unless the keys are compromised.
