No, they just are too slavishly attached to the Invisible Hand, so they have created a highly inefficient health care system that ultimately costs consumers more.
Poor people have more children. It's a very natural response to extreme environmental pressures. I, however, can think of at least one family who could have had one less child, and not contributed to growing population of heartless stupid assholes.
To be sure, it's a pretty stupid idea. But one can almost understand where he was coming from. Anything else, including the Extended Universe, would just have been variations on the pre-existing themes. New dark lord and/or war lord rises, picks up where Palpatine and Vader left off, and a ragtag band of rebels goes to war again.
You know, just like what's actually happening in the main Episode films.
There's too much java code running in too many shops to kill. The big enterprise outfits will pay the licensing fee, and the smaller ones will switch to openjdk. I know it's popular around here to imagine that Java has some sort of meaningful competition, but if Microsoft with all its resolve to open up.NET can't really grab a piece of Java's significant penetration, then it's fantasy to imagine that languages like Python will.
My electric kettle comes with a 20 page instruction booklet. That doesn't make it hard to use. As much as anything it's about an organization covering it's ass with a FAQ.
It's no different than how Europe was up until the 19th century, when efforts to create common universal dialects became more formalized and proscriptive. There were "dialect continuums", whether they were the continuums in the Romance languages stretching from Italy all the way to the Iberian Peninsula, the Adriatic and into France, or the Germanic languages which stretch from the various West Germanic languages (like English, Dutch and German), with mutual intelligibility of some degree between neighboring languages, but going further geographically reduced that mutual intelligibility, until finally an Austrian had a hard time understanding someone from Saxony, and had no hope in hell of understanding someone from the Low Countries.
The fact is that most people historically did not travel, so dialects and regional languages were far more persistent. Even in England, from the Scots English all the way to London there was wide variation in pronunciation and vocabulary, but that has faded significantly with universal education and mass media. They still exist, as the final traces of the original Anglo-Saxon invasions, when different Anglo-Saxon tribes had already diverged in their language even on the Continent by the 5th and 6th century, and carried their dialects with them to England. But just a century and a half of effort has caused those dialects to merge and begin to fade.
So when you look at pre-industrial populations that remained fairly static, where families might have called the same village or territory home for centuries, if not thousands of years, you can understand why even a relatively contained geographical area might have harbored dozens of different dialects and even different languages, sometimes languages in entirely different language families. But what happened in many places; whether it be overt campaigns to kill a language (like the long-standing English campaign to stamp out anything vaguely Gaelic in Ireland), or the even more overt efforts in North America to wipe out Native American culture and language, this isn't simply natural evolution of languages.
From a purely linguistic, anthropological and archaeological point of view, preserving even deal and dying languages is of an enormous importance. Studying the relationships between languages, when coupled with genetic and archaeological studies, can give us a very good picture of migration patterns, and can tell us how existing populations came into existence. A lot of effort has been put into the major Old World language families; Indo-European languages are probably the most studied languages in the world, with the Afro-Asiatic and Sino-Tibetan close behind, because these are language families with a fairly lengthy written record, and where comparative and genetic linguistics have allowed us to actually map the evolution of proto-languages into the diversity we see today.
From a cultural point of view, language, more than any other human construct, defines who we are. When you look at an indigenous people; whether they're in the Americas, or Africa, or Australia, these people are trying to recover something of themselves after centuries of active hostility and benign neglect by their colonial masters. Why shouldn't a Native American tribe try to at least retain as much of their linguistic tradition as possible? I doubt there's any expectation in many cases that they will produce any large number of new speakers, but like the preservation of languages like Welsh and Irish and Scots Gaelic, these languages are a part of those peoples' identity, and even if only a small number speak it actively, it still represents an important part of what makes those people who they are.
The majority of Americans live in urban centers, so yes, while it sucks to be out in the backwoods of Montana and not have great service, it doesn't really apply to the majority of Americans, so this really is an absurd counterpoint.
They're private companies that use the Internet for connection. Net neutrality is about the connectivity. You seriously think that every website on the Internet with a public forum should have to accept every single post that they get? There's no expectation that newspapers have to publish every letter to the editor, so why is it you want to force Reddit, Twitter et al to keep up every post? If you don't like their TOS, then start your own website.
Java is popular because it is highly entrenched in the enterprise. In the financial world it has been steadily eclipsing COBOL for two decades. It is taught in universities because whether all the Python and C## fans like it or not, it is a highly successful language and platform. It is by no means perfect, but perfection is the enemy of the good.
Because in a century or two whomever dominates space will control access to resources that will become increasingly scarce or environmentally irresponsible to extract on Earth.
Europeans didn't immediately start sailing around the world and creating colonies and trade infrastructure. They started by creeping the coastlines of the Old World until marine technology had reached a point where opennsea voyages became possible. But the point is that those technologies were developed and advanced.
Probes serve their purpose, but it's clear at least that the Chinese have bigger plans, and it would seem prudent for the US to leverage it's nearly six decades of space exploration to meet the challenge, rather than sitting around and losing the race.
The Last Jedi could have been fixed in editing. At some point some executives must have seen the rough cut and went "Whoah!" The basic premise could not be fixed, but at least it could have been made more coherent.
He did a credible job. Everyone in the film did a credible job. I just thought the script was muddled. The second act really dragged. I found myself rather bored at that point. Ron Howard is a very good director, Apollo 13 grabs you by the balls and never lets go, but Solo just seemed kind of meh. Part of the problem was that there wasn't enough of a story to justify the running length.

"Smut peddlers"? What year is it? 1938?
Even the Neanderthals looked after sick members of the tribe. For chrissakes, act like a human being.

If they had actually gone all the way towards making Jar Jar Binks an evil character, this would completely have redeemed episode one.
Oh dear. And here you are, all out of tissue. Not to worry, I'm sure they can patch you up in your next cognitive therapy session.

Well, if that's their policy, then they get to pay Oracle big bucks. They can change their policy and save money, or not.
Start attending your cognitive therapy sessions again.

This isnt an example of West Germanic turning into Anglo-Saxon. Most indigenous languages were victim to active campaigns to stamp them our.

Then you don't get out much.
JavaScript is a ridiculously bloated language. Look at the size of most of the libraries.

Watch The Searchers. It's John Wayne's best film, and one of the best Westerns ever made.
In my view Glover was the highlight of the film. The first scene where he's introduced, all I could say was "Yup, there's Lando Calrissian".
He did a credible job. Everyone in the film did a credible job. I just thought the script was muddled. The second act really dragged. I found myself rather bored at that point.

Is being challenged a bad thing? Just saying "God did it" answers no questions. It's a claim without utility.
