Problem is that most of the oldest water rights are held by farms that produce water-intensive crops.
Stop growing water-intensive crops in a semi-desert.
No, seriously, just stop....
No, I meant it.
Meantime, Seattle continues to expand while using 1/4 the water per person that California uses. We use local plants instead of lawns, water deeply once a week, don't water when the sun is up (cuts salt impacts and water use in half), and recycle our grey water.
And our fusion reactor is ready to power the lasers if you try to steal our water. (no, not a joke)
It will be back. A little more time. A few more congressmen will be investigated and blackmailed. Small slips of paper with a string of offshore bank account numbers and a dollar figure will mysteriously appear on the desks of some wavering legislators, who know the money will be theirs if they cast a vote for TPP. It's all standard operating procedure in DC.
The oligarchs want this, and by hook or by crook, they'll get it.
How's Greece working out for you?
Or those pipelines?
Oh, yeah, the war is over. The TPP TPIP TAA folks just don't realize it yet.
Actually, not that different in some UW departments. A lot of PhDs awarded in Biostatistics, Medical Genetics and other fields that are computationally heavy are women.
As I pointed out, China and Germany are converting old dirty inefficient coal plants to cogeneration and scrubbing for emissions. This uses lower volumes of coal to produce a lot more energy, but the scrubbing is water intensive. Some plants in China are slated for neither, but they are a small minority. The larger scale ones are at least set to go cogeneration (some have already) and, in places near water sources, use scrubbing for emissions.
Hence the (now seen by US exporters) drop in coal use by China. Less input, more output. This will also accelerate in Germany, as we swat the Russian bear.
A big question for.edu is do research universities that get large amounts of funding have to go https as well.
We know that this will apply to public-facing websites, so technically that would apply to a medical research hospital as part of a university (quite a few of those), but will it include small labs using fed grants as well? Presumably if external facing.
A lot of such websites, like a crystallography beam website, are internal only, so they don't count, but it's not that big a deal. However, most of the certificates for those belong to the institutions themselves, and not the usual public grantors.
You're thinking old school. Assembly labor is a small fraction, as plants like this are designed automated from the ground up. Even the QA is mostly automated. Observed and confirmed by humans, but it's a mostly automated process.
Look, I'm sorry, but you persist in measuring costs wrong.
You need to understand that solar became cheaper than coal a few years ago.
Wind is almost cheaper too.
If it weren't for the artificial anti-capitalist subsidies for coal land leases and grandfathered utility and rail exemptions, coal would not even be that popular.
I get that you like your dying industry, coal, but China and Germany have realized they can get 80 percent more energy out of the same unit tonnage of coal by minor retrofits of their 18th century coal plants (cogeneration) and can cut pollution dramatically (more than half) by use of scrubbers.
Technologies that were in use in the US and Canada in the 1970s.
This is why you're a Mercantalist, not a Capitalist.

Hey, if the NSA gets to violate the Constitution and spy on Americans, why not the MLB?
Sauce for the goose is great for the gander.
It's an old blues song and BMI owes a lot of people a lot of money
With nuclear arms?
That warm soft glow isn't radiation, it's love!
If it was an ice comet it wouldn't glow, it would melt. Defeating the purpose of sending a probe there.
Digital files at 11!
A real space program would use nuclear fusion, like the reactor built at the UW.

There's your problem.
The fun part is, next time they can vote on it, the Iowa straw poll will be happening.
Tactics and strategy are half of war.
The other half is surprise.
Ka-ching!

More like centrist Warren Democrats and Sanders Democrats showing Clinton we remember how her husband sold our jobs out.
That is all. ... next time don't mess with the best.
P.S.: Try this during Iowa (next time up) and we'll hand your hat to you ...

Thank you for the controlled drones, citizen.
The sponge may have been removed from market before this daughter was conceived. Sadly, it's probably also too late for "get an abortion."
No, to wipe it up.
God, no wonder no woman will have kids with you ...
Did somebody buy out slashdot while we weren't looking?

A lot of UW stuff runs out of the VA facilities. However, the components of that are frequently cohosted.
(caveat - we already do https and IPv6 so it's not a problem, but might be for others like John Hopkins)

Yeah but now they are pushing to make encryption illegal--except when they do it, apparently.
The directive is for federal agencies.
You can do whatever you want, so long as you're not contracting to the feds.

I guess the real reason is that Chinese labour costs have increased during the last years. But considering the $20,000 price tag I agree.
Quite a bit. Chinese labour costs have increased a lot.
Because it also includes .mil

It's not like this is a new initiative, or that we didn't have dry runs a few years ago.
It's just a few recalcitrant holdouts being told: "Switch or Die".
Well, if they use Amazon as a model, a lot of "those cars" for employees will be employees walking or biking to work.
Adapt. Roads were made for bikes and streetcars in most US cities, not for cars.
In North America, sure.
You do realize China cranks out new cities the way we crank out cars, don't you?
Look, I'm quite serious. Now get with the 21st Century.
