And my stance is that I first make sure it is correct, then I worry about optimization.
I know too many projects that were done in the reverse. Sure, we have a slick and fast system, but only when it works. It's kind of like saying/dev/null is a fast database.
Exactly, which is why the country needs to be broken up into smaller, more homogeneous units. Those European countries with the highest standards of living in the world, and the least amounts of corruption, are all small and relatively homogeneous culturally. They don't constantly argue internally over issues like abortion, or the role of government, or socialized healthcare.
So, something like states?
Funny how conservatives tend to believe in states' rights and liberals don't, while liberals identify more with European culture and solutions while conservatives don't.
The more we learn about the reality of the universe, the more we'll come to respect its true elegance and to see how inelegant our prior theories (like supersymmetry) were.
The article never mentions this as "per day". And the author has since changed the number from $30M to $300K, so I'm pretty sure it meant over the 100 day period.
The author changed the article. You can tell because the link is "www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptolocker-criminals-earn-30-million-100-days-1429607" but the headline now says "CryptoLocker Gang Earns Millions in Just 100 Days" (changing from "$30 million" to just "millions").
Where before the headline was based on bad math, the new headline is based on fuzzy math because someone indicated that the earnings could be many times more than what was reported.
Ok, you fixed the numbers in the article but have decided that with a bit of fuzzy math it's alright to keep perpetuating the attention-grabbing headline.
DavidGilbert99, please fix your damn article. You wrote the article, you wrote the summary, both with attention-getting headlines. And they both passed different sets of editors (assuming the editors even exist) and they are both incorrect with the $30M figure.
The only story behind this is how little they netted, not how much.
With the exception of antitrust, EVERY government interference in the market...is an ENEMY of capitalism.
Except of course the concept of property and its protection.
Absolute freedom is contrary to the goals of "free" market capitalism, as is absolute restriction. There exists a balance. But there is no perfect balance; it's all about finding the amount and types of government involvement that maximizes the goals society aims to maximize.
If the car owner does all charging at the office, the cost of electricity would offset at least some of the cost of replacing the batteries. But I don't know that it would be worth it. This blog post suggests that the average cost per month of electricity is less than $50 for fairly average use, but the battery replacement program for the Leaf is $100 per month.
Then again, the car owner would have to replace their battery after so much usage anyway regardless of where it is being charged, so assuming the employer's usage causes about twice as many recharge cycles, the employee might just break even.
Meanwhile the business gets a win by fully charging the cars when at non-peak usage, say around $0.05/KWH, and fully discharging during peak usage, say around $0.45/KWH, even if they have to supply twice as much energy to the cars as they use to power the office. (I pulled those $/KWH numbers from a post below; I have no clue if they are legitimate.)
I probably wouldn't participate in this program unless the employer provided a bonus incentive.
A few years ago I ordered a Dell Axim, and I received 2 in the mail. One had my name on the invoice with my accessories, and the other had another person's name with several much better accessories.
I called Dell to try to return it. The rep said that they would call back about it (specifically within 30 days; he said after that I didn't need to worry about it). I never heard back from them so I sold one to my roommate for cheap and kept all the accessories.
Then again, all that really has to be simulated is each person's sensory perception.
Who is to say that the water in the oceans is actually made of H2O and NaCL and all kinds of microbes and other chemicals? One just needs to be convinced that any personal measurement is consistent within their universe (such as "seeing" light through a microscope, or "seeing" data on a screen connected to a spectrometer or other analysis device).
Playing Halo doesn't require that every tree leaf on the map is rendered always, but when at least one player zooms in through their scope they should see those leaves.
A dictator is a dictator, doesn't matter what politics they hide behind, the end result of repression and brutality stays the same.
We must always be careful not to provide centralized government with ultimate power and authority. Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton, all the way back to Washington, have all been relatively awesome people and that may tempt us to grant them more authority and more control. But what happens when a Stalin or a Hitler figures out a way into the Oval Office?
Checks and balances. Nobody should hold all the cards.
(I'm just afraid the federal government as an group has too many cards, and as soon as one extremist faction gains enough control, we're in big trouble.)
But several significant obstacles stand in the way of developers already taking a crack at it, including console builders' absolute refusal to see emulation as even remotely legal.
Well that's not surprising. The battle isn't to win the hearts of Microsoft and Sony. The battle is to win rights from the governments that enforce these restrictions.
I'm curious whether this difference is caused by by genetics.
Boys and girls at a young age also learn to dress differently, that doesn't mean it's genetic. Our brains are environmentally influenced to some degree; do we know how much that was found by this study is environmental vs. genetic?
After all, no bank or bitcoin-emitter can be as public-minded as a government, and no private power can raise taxes or pass laws to unwind monetary excesses.
"Window" has never been used to describe the monitor. It's used to describe the rectangular user interfaces shown on your desktop.
Using that analogy, the term "window" never made sense anyway. Since when do you have a window on your desktop? I don't.
If anything, the new full-screen apps modify the term "window" to align more with your definition, where the window represents all that you see through a piece of glass (i.e. your monitor).

Yet Obama himself calls it Obamacare.

The China of today is nothing like the China of old. It's really not much like the China of 10 or 20 years ago.

And so is the $30 million figure. 0.4% * 250,000 * $300 = $300,000.
I'm pretty sure that most tech involving sound waves is not developed in space.

The important question is; which is a better game play platform and which has the best games?
To some. To others, the important question is which is a better entertainment device.
PS4 has the edge in gaming and the XB1 has the edge in home entertainment. Both are decent at both roles and much better than their predecessors.
Maybe if he killed himself, everyone would win.

Well, you do have to enter the master password. (Figured I would save you the research since you obviously don't have time to do so before posting.)
Indeed, death implies an end. Syfy shows rarely have a proper ending.
