Companies tried it, the problem is that neither the worker nor the company enjoys many protections abroad. Sure move your offices to China only to have it confiscated by the government or your workers start their own line of your product. Or you can move it to Africa or Mexico/South America, but then what warlord would you have to pay every other week to keep your offices from becoming a sieve? Or Europe where regulation, taxes and government interference is even worse than the US?
Companies want to be based in the US, with NAFTA, TPP etc it's just been more beneficial to keep cheap labor abroad and eat the cost of a shipment drowning somewhere in the Pacific once in a while. Without it, all those countries would've been able to tariff or tax exports instead of being used for their labor.
That's the half glass full interpretation I take it. A lot of companies whittled down their workforce to part time because ACA fines/fees/taxes don't apply, a LOT of companies, pretty much all small businesses had to lay off or reduce work hours just to avoid the taxes. Sure it gave Obama a very nice 'lowest unemployment' number but all these people got screwed over big just to fix the numbers.
Unemployment, according to Obama-accounting, is at the lowest record ever in decades. So how come people are making less money now than when they were unemployed?
No, Apple can't. There are ways of loading apps that aren't on the App Store. You can link your phone to an MDM which could then act as a store for all sorts of unsigned apps. Whether or not it's secure and worth the hassle is another thing.
For those of you who have no experience with the medical industry:
AB rating is to indicate the FDA considers this an equivalent substitute. There are currently at least 3 "EpiPen" systems on the market, EpiPen, Adrenaclick and Twinject and I think Auvi-Q is also entering the market again they all are auto-injectors giving 0.3 mg or 0.15 mg of Epinephrine, yet the FDA has rated these 'others' as BX meaning they cannot be interchanged (legally) without a brand new prescription even though they all do the same thing.
So yes, there are alternatives to the EpiPen but the medical industry has made sure that the consumer is not informed when the market breaks.
With the coupon they're $9.99 and no company is going to sell this stuff under the cost of production. The only reason they're still $100+ is because the original EpiPen is $600 and because they have no competition. Soon the EpiPen will be $100 too, at CVS at least, but until it's generally available for $100, you won't see the price drop.
That's either defective stuff or defective design. A well designed LiPo based battery powered system simply should not fail in less than 3-5 years, those safeguards should be in the battery for both charging and discharging.
I would love an Android but it's absolutely a horrendous POS to deal with or interact with as an OS and the majority of manufacturers ignore all laws and regulations including the ones on warranty, usability, safety and copyright. Even large manufacturers like Samsung ship devices with the cheapest possible chargers that simply could not have passed a proper old school UL/CE test.
My iPhone is 5.5 years old, never needed a new battery, still holds ~80% of it's original time. Most people don't keep their phone to the half life of the battery (~10 years).
You only believe that because your hope and change turned out to be an expensive failure and your party decided to ignore its constituency and when you got to see what the DNC does to people like Sanders, the left turned on reality and became no better than the Infowars loonies.
If you look at it objectively, Wikileaks is no more or less political than they were during the Bush era and they've released plenty of dirt on both sides of the aisles over the years, most of it ignored by leftist "news" channels like CNN.
I think you failed at math. The difference between popular votes is ~1M, not ~3 (62.5M to 61.2). That is a very narrow margin. On the other hand pretty much all counties in the US voted red, there are only a handful of regions in the US that voted democrat.
I understand this is theoretically possible but what speakers in these devices have powerful ultrasonic blasters? Unless they're doing some form of distance measuring, the majority of speakers is limited well under 18kHz with the response curve dropping sharply after that.
The problems with wifi and Bluetooth simultaneously are widely known. The overheating issue too, so much that they're unusable for anything that you want to be stable. That and the price, I can get similar performance out of an Android stick for half the price. X86 is dying and is only being held up by Windows and some legacy stuff. Once the average ARM reseller can get its head out of its ass and release the Linux sources to their modifications (looking at you MINIX/Amlogic) as required by GPL and Android becomes either usable or a good desktop OS is developed the Intel stack drop like a brick.
The problem is that it's not "really" 3D, it relies on visual illusion and tricking your brain which we don't really fully understand yet. And the technology that "stitches" the images together is still lacking causing things like eye strain, fatigue and headaches.
The other problem is that manufacturers were playing number games just to get the "best" display. Displays went from specifying 30Hz to 240Hz overnight without any real breakthrough in the technology. That is they stopped measuring black-white-black transitions and just took two neighboring greys to pump the numbers and then back to flickering the backlights (CRT style) to make it look better. Meaning for most displays they are physically only doing ~40Hz transitions on large swathes of the screen and then for 3D you're cutting that in half.
Just because a project is open source doesn't mean everyone can contribute to it. MongoDB has been rife with issues since the beginning, the company behind it is only interested in selling its subscription technical service and has a culture that doesn't accept anything that isn't the "Mongo" way or would interfere in the commercialization of its platform kind of like Poettering on steroids.
If Congress sits on their hands and does nothing, whatever changes requested are considered to be a vote as 'no', that's how any parliamentary system works, it's not up to the President to just override the process whenever things are 'stuck'.
I agree with the executive orders when they execute what has already been passed by our lawmakers, however things like taking away large swaths of land from land owners and Indian reservations and placing them under federal "protection" is not authorized by any means and if it was, the authorization must have been really, really vague in wording.
I've tried a few models NUC and Intel Stick over the last few years, the fans are tiny running at a million RPM so they would start whining a few minutes and then crash because the thing got too hot.
Wake me up when they come with a sub-$100 model that has 4G of memory and runs Android, Linux and doesn't overheat. If I wanted a $400 barebone, I'd buy from any number of manufacturers that had the thermal stuff figured out a decade ago (eg. Shuttle) .
Do you really think either party wants to give up on that sort of control? Trump is still controlled by political interests and if Democrats win any part of the house or senate next election cycle they might want to keep that sort of power in place just to push their agenda later on. To many, Trump is a 4 year deal, some politicians hold onto their offices for decades, so even if Trump is going to be a boy scout about executive orders, the next president will probably be a solid politician.
No, that's what the NAFTA experiment tried, the opposite thing happened, migration of the Mexican people has quadrupled (4% of the US population is now an illegal immigrant) since where it had been relatively steady for decades (~1%).
Sure, it's called an executive order and as Obama is proving very hard the last few days in office, it allows the president broad, unilateral powers to do whatever he damn well wants without any oversight from any other branch of government.
So if Trump wants to get out of NAFTA (for good or for bad), he just has to say so. NAFTA only protects foreign interests, sure there may be some immediate fallout from some nations being really upset they're losing revenue, but what will they do, stop trading with the US?
Trump is notorious for not using email because something could be tied back to him later on. I think plenty of Trumps escapades came out, CNN hacked a 15yo piece of tape that wasn't even part of any footage, just an accidental recording saved for over a decade for no good reason.
The thing is that neither camps' dirt did anything to persuade voters to either side. Clinton could've killed a puppy on Times Square and gotten no more or less votes.
There is a very high probability of life in the Universe, it's 1. Whether it's intelligent, depends on your viewpoint, I'm sure your average ape thinks it is intelligent as it does its tricks to get a treat, look I've got them trained every time I push this button they feed me.
As far as an intelligent life form controlling that kind of power, highly unlikely and if it does, then you *should* shit your pants (on a geological timescale). On the other hand, if it is, it would be highly unlikely we would recognize it as such unless it's doing some thing we cannot model as a Newtonian motion. As long as shit is spinning around and circle shaped we wouldn't recognize a space ship if it were a hundred miles away.

The actual numbers from Politico that was "quoted" above. The 2.8M number is made up, there are no official results that show that discrepancy.
When did Obama or Clinton become tech wizards?
