I don't disagree with that, but having a freedom to do something doesn't mean you're going to want to do that thing.
Cross border costs = language, postage, security, risk. Business to business â volumes are likely enough for these costs to be minimal, but the overhead will likely be a much bigger % for niche non-business consumers.
Good luck living in France and trying to get a mortgage from a Romanian bank.
"There is nothing to stop someone in France taking a loan from a bank in Romania"
Yeah right, other than they'd likely simply just say no unless you can prove who you are via DNA, fingerprints and 50 forms of ID and prove you don't have a criminal record and fill out 12 different forms and have them notarised via lawyers and embassies. And there will be a charge for that and you'll pay a higher interest rate to cover extra risk.
Sorry, try harder, my work phone cost 73gbp = $77 adjusted for vat (new phone no contract, no subsidy). It's 5.5 inch screen, quad core, 2gb ram and subjectively runs really fast, google maps is really snappy with it. The screen is very bright and the battery life is excellent.
TLDR: 10x more expensive, perhaps $100 per screen, thicker, heavier, harder to manufacture, harder to customize, uses 100x more energy to produce. Still shatters just as easy - only more scratch-proof.
I vaguely recall the solution to scaling down without halftone artifacts was to resize down in multiple intermediate steps, I'd be interested to know if there are other solutions. like: http://s30.photobucket.com/use...
As an engineer, it doesn't take a genius to look at the shape of a dog's nose verses other animals to notice the huge mass and evolutionary investment in their noses.
Hmm, so what about small dogs, how do they compare?
"The EPA must always balance the cost of regulations with the expected benefit."
"augment the committee with industry experts."
Except what will really happen is these 'experts' will just rig the environmental policies so that the industry can pollute more and make more profits at the expense of health and the environment. Industry does not care about external costs.
I wasted my time looking at the google search you linked and guess what, pretty much nothing there, sure they're not perfect, no-one is. But if Trump et al get their way, the EPA will install a bunch of industry figures who don't care about science and instead will wreak havoc in the EPA in order to be able to pollute more for profit.
FML slashdot mod system broken, I have mod points, I tried to mod your comment as informative but system said 'already at limit' and then some idiot modded you as troll but now I can't mod because 'already modded' which clearly isn't true because you don't have an informative mods at the time of this post.
The govt have neglected housing for 3 decades, it's a roundabout cause of brexit - cost of living is too much because of stagnant wages, soaring houses prices and rents, both affected by immigration. Funny thing is the middle classes flat out refuse to accept that more people going after jobs = lower wage or that more people trying to rent or buy = higher housing costs, it's a very weird denial of the most fundamental aspect of capitalism which is 'supply and demand'. But hey, easier to just chant 'racism'.
I think billions is too many, it would be hard for us to live sustainably with so many people, we're buggering up everything, the from the ocean floors to the rivers, land and air, wiping out species on every continent. Over fishing, 'intensive' farming, too much deforestation etc.
"You simply aren't going to have modern society without billions of people." I don't see why not quite honestly, a few hundred million could easily be enough.
" You can have 2 people and still produce too much CO2 for the earth to handle " Now you're being silly.
"And you simply aren't going to revert 7 billion people back to an agrarian economy. " So what, I've never heard anyone suggest we should do this.
Less people = less waste. The problem is one of polluting less and recycling more, and reducing the human footprint upon the ecosystem. Clean energy is not a problem, we've solved that 10 times over.
What part of co2 is a greenhouse gas don't you believe in, its a simple concept that is easily proved in a lab and humans have released staggering amounts of. Co2 into the atmosphere, enough to blanket the entire globe with several inches of co2. If you had a greenhouse with several inches of glass, it would heat up inside substantially., we're very lucky that the ocean's have taken most of the heat energy because if it hadn't we'd be very very fkkd right now, 30deg C hotter iirc. Where fkkn preview gone?
The difference between me and the original poster is I don't have this crazy blind hatred that anti-SJWs often seem to have. I was pointing out that they often seem to be various combinations of white supremicists, bigots and racists and sexists and even when they're not, they're often fueling the hatred of these hate filled prejudiced groups.
I don't like prejudice, the only hatred I have is of fallacious arguments, lies and the twisting of the truth that comes from groups with vested interests such as industry lobbyists, 'think tanks' and the rest of the 'swamp dwellers'.
And do you know who always comes across as fake news reading, racist sexist, hate filled 'WASP's? People who use the term 'SJW'. This instant I hear this term I think sad misinformed person who can't tell the truth from fiction and can't partake in an argument without multiple fallacies, no point in interacting with them, time to move on.

Dirty engines kill millions, the estimate for the UK alone is over 50,000 per year.

And if ISPs all started doing this then viruses would simply use bog-standard encryption.
No, it's a trick, that's what the AI want you to believe.
That's a silly strawman it really is, I don't hear anyone suggesting you can magically recover a file that hasn't even been written yet.

Solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, heat pumps, not mythical.
And we should be recycling everything, dumping waste into landfill can't last for long.
"You simply aren't going to have modern society without billions of people."
I don't see why not quite honestly, a few hundred million could easily be enough.

Yeah, I bet it doesn't even get hot inside greenhouses, it's just a ruse to sell more glass. ~
