As an example, it's very hard to get any MDs or nurses in some of the emptier remote parts of WA, BC, and ID, and at times, even if you could drive it, it's 50-100 miles to the nearest hospital over mountain passes with a heck of a lot of snow where I grew up. Some days the highway won't reopen for a week.
So something like this is way more important than you might realize.
Links aren't that fragile in many of these remote areas, as a lot of our power generation is going on there, so you can piggyback on the transmission line power at very high communication rates, but sometimes you can't even fly there, and the surgery is needed ASAP.
The platform restriction of the Alibaba mobile OS is competing with the Apple mystique for their mobile OS. Since we can measure Apple sales of mobile units, we see a sharp spike in sales in China, and thus Alibaba may not do as well with this approach as they might have otherwise.
Until they get the powers that be to block Apple, of course.
Easily tracked and easily identified US "fugitive" bankers who caused the crash and have Interpol warrants for their arrest are living high and mighty in Switzerland meanwhile.

So can we actually believe this "person responsible" is not just a sacrificial lamb who will end up pardoned anyway, without doing any actual jail time?
Agricultural water supply isn't tiered in some respects. They have three basic supplies. One - well water - which takes it from the aquifer. Two - historical first right water - which takes it before the rest use it. Three -state water - which pays a subsidized rate for water (and why you see all those signs on I5 in Cali) - where it's going from 1/2 the cost to 80 pct the cost currently.
Non-ag water supply is fairly similar, except most people don't have wells and pay the commercial city rate. Some places use tiered, many don't.
But they don't have as large up-end surcharges like we in the water areas like Seattle do. We charge two arms and two legs and your hair for excessive use, they charge a left foot or maybe a leg for excessive use.
Actually, though, bidding is artificially constrained by money supply, so that those with wealth have more assets to bid for water than those with less.
This means that you get swimming pools and grass lawns that the ecosystem can't support.
A better method is to cap the usage per capita and let people decide what they want with it. If they really want a pool, then make them pay a lot more for the extra water wasted. As in ten times as much.
Our Seattle water supply works this way. Even rich people pay a lot more per water use above a certain amount than someone at median water use.
Yes, but there are different types of desalination plants. Modern tech has hybrid micropore with solar/wind assist for pumping, and uses the old technique of glass windows to collect clean water. Do a search for solar desalination in any reputable energy journal.

Period.
Same thing goes for GPS tracking.
Same thing happens with doctors and nurses, quite frankly.
Getting a degree requires much more persistence than competence. Nothing in what you said changes the truths of what the GP said.
I'm sorry that you remain stuck in a previous century.
I'm sorry you're stuck in the 18th Century.
Please reset your Apple Watch to the correct date. It's the 21st Century, the year is 2015.
Most PhD and Masters graduates are women nowadays. In many of the top research fields the majority of faculty are women.
Please be advised the culture shock may be severe. But you will get through it.
I'll bet the reviewers repeat ideas women in their committees say, as if they came up with the ideas themselves, too.
Fun fact, a corporation in Malaysia will be able to force your US State to rescind a lawsuit filed against a Malaysian owned patent troll.
Think about it.
Are you feeling like a Serf yet?
Wrong. Serfs had more rights than you do.
If Congress is for it, it probably isn't science.
"Secret Science" must be their code words for real science.
Unlicensed drivers delivering packages.
Under TPP this would be illegal.
Under many state laws this would result in the execs serving jail terms.
I'm sure nobody would call the cops on them ...
The main barriers I've heard of from young women trying to get into engineering careers have been, and still are:
1. Being hired.
2. Being given tasks that are just as important as the men get.
3. Not getting ignored when they say the same thing a guy repeats a minute later.
That plus sexism.
Just an observation from someone who has worked with women in engineering all my life.
Actually, the UW surgical robot is the one you see in the space training sequences of certain SF movies. Ender's Game specifically.
It actually exists.

Always someone else's.
Hint: not all your new hires will be cute Asian gamer chicks in wheelchairs.
Actual jobs?
Look, you may pay for music on iTunes, but most people don't.
I can't help that you don't get practical economics.
I've had iTunes since my Rio MP3 and I've never paid anything to an online music store, ever.
I buy my CDs and DVDs from the artist or band in person, then they get half of the money instead of 0.02 cents.
You old guys on slashdot have heard of podcasts, right?
The black budget funds all the spy agencies that defeat and make holes in the security anyway.
We know this UK guy did it cause the FBI found one of his hairs at the scene of the market crash.
I think they found one of his heirs at the scene.

Just saying.
Sorry, this is all due to SCOTUS and the simple cold hard fact that corporate lobbyists donate more to campaigns than corporations pay taxes.
Period.
Corporations aren't People.
They're your Rulers.
And you're their Serfs.
Strike that ... Serfs had rights. You don't.

External input energy has a cost that process energy doesn't.
Water ain't free, and Cali farmers think it should be.
There's your problem.
A lot of people have been migrating to Oregon from California, to escape the drought.
So I'm guessing you'll get just as much resistance from them as you will from Seattle.
Except we in Seattle have a fusion reactor and some wicked giant lasers.
Actually, our salmon and other fish use that. And so do our sailboats and super yachts that our billionaires own.
So, go steal it from some place that doesn't have fusion power and giant lasers, would you?
