There's a "Brexit leads to Palaeolithic" joke here somewhere, but I prefer to point out that despite the absence of 100% British mainstream, high-volume auto makers, the auto industry in the country is quite significant and that Morgan is NOT just about what's left of the car industry.
There are plants for mainstream cars from Nissan and Honda, there are R&D intensive companies making parts for all sorts of vehicles, there are companies that make composites for varied uses in motorsport and only then, veeeery far away in the rankings for 'total sales' and for 'complete units sold' there are small companies like Morgan, Noble, etc.
The conclusions from the study include the following: This makes the reservoir of Hg in permafrost soils vulnerable to release over the next century, with unknown consequences to the environment.
and
Northern Hemisphere permafrost soils contain nearly twice as much Hg as all other soils, the ocean, and the atmosphere combined, indicating a need to reevaluate the role of the Arctic regions in the global Hg cycle. This Hg is vulnerable to release as permafrost thaws over the next century.
I think they did a good job pre-empting Joe Sixpack telling scientists to stay out of politics. Anonymous Coward seeing left wing bias in the news is a another story.
China describes its own system as a form of market socialism, but in fact it's probably better thought of as a kind of state capitalism, with a parallel private sector in which the state freely interferes to suit public policy.
Let me add that as the age of "big data" matures, I would be surprised if this approach will not make free markets obsolete. "what? 50 years ago they didn't actively manage things?!"
One difference I've noticed from the time of Netbooks to now is that 7 and 8" screens have disappeared. Now you'll end up with a 10 or 11" screen machine, be it a laptop, a convertible or a tablet which would need an extra keyboard. How close would that size be to the ideal form factor you talked about?
Over here in the UK, there are Windows 10 tablets branded Linx, with Atom CPU and hit-and-miss reviews from buyers. Maybe there's an equivalent brand where you are. The price varies wildly with Christmas and other campaigns, making these machines nearly "disposable computing".
For a short while, I used their 8" tablet, as it was sold at a lower price than the Office365 subscription that was bundled. I conceded defeat and sold it on eBay after a short while. For me the dealbreaker was that the 1280x800 resolution on such a small screen made it really unpleasant to use unless in "tablet mode". Back then Firefox and Chrome were not working well unless we used Windows 10 outside of tablet mode. I also tried to use that tablet with a Displaylink USB port replicator, but it wouldn't send the image to the outside screen. It's probably very customised hardware to fit the small package. Good luck.
Those 3 streaming services I can access with my Sony Blu-ray player. It cost £49 and plays CDs, Dvds and Blu-ray. Hopefully Sony is not using it to install DRM malware on the rest of the devices on my home LAN.
I wonder if in the USA the quasi-automatic gun shooting starts when the student gets the phone taken away, or when the parents of the student hear about it?
Try searching for "you're hired" today on Twitter and you'll see there are enough job vacancies to accommodate people who like and those who dislike the disgraced 45th president of the USA.
I liked the way Musk was name dropped in a recent episode of Star Trek: Discovery as a great historical figure. His current day haters must have felt great, having the opportunity to hate the new ST series *and* Musk all in one go.:D
It's a fair comment, but I'm not sure it gets us any closer to an answer. Perhaps the 2.65Bn represent a very expensive way to put more noise on TV, or to get many phone calls out to people who may or may not be really engaged, while on FB millions of very cheap interactions day in and day out will support existing search bubbles and have an important effect.
Just look at how people write about Hillary being a symbol of everything that's bad about Washington. Others repeating that the EU commission are unelected bureaucrats and therefore the whole EU is undemocratic. If that's all that people read, the message will stick.
However, if someone can afford the $800 for the good model, why can't they stretch a bit further and get the X model?
Same for when I see a Mercedes S350. There's a S500 for £10K more, and I don't get what's stopping someone who obviously can afford expensive cars from getting the top of the range.
The AMGs are significantly more expensive, but they are built as sportier cars, so I could see a difference in buyer profile.
The free market is much better at properly allocating resources than bureaucrats could ever hope to be
Interesting. In the age of machine learning and Big Data, is that assertion valid?
The way that Uber, Amazon and Facebook work (other examples exist) suggests to me that while free markets yield better results than 1950s central planning, the central planning of this decade and the next one can be even better!
We pay fresh grads with a BS in CS an average of $90k to start. What other career choice offers a starting salary anywhere near that for a 4 year degree?
I don't know... tell us more! How do you feel about making that sort of offer to people who live in the UK (or in a similar timezone)?
Further savings are to be had beyond the slow lane from not having impatient lorry drivers overtaking each other to gain a 2 mph advantage at the expense of everyone else who needs to lose15mph while the overtaking takes place.

I'm out of moderation points. #sad.

My "feature phone" cellphone I used to use before I had to get an android for work e-mails, lasted almost a WEEK with constant use.
Are you quite sure you're remembering that battery life/use profile accurately?

Thank you so much for that link.
The suggestion of a ban on vending machines and fizzy drinks could cause a civil war here in the UK, but this is all a good read for later.
I'm happily doing that with both Windows and Android devices and it hasn't killed me yet.
Trump is a Berlusconi wannabe.

Less fat stored from a single gene change? More fat burned when it's cold?
Sign me up and if anyone needs me I'll be in the outdoor swimming pool.
erm... Get a Windows Phone with Continuum while it still exists?
I would have called it a chazzwozza.

Hopefully there will be an army of ACs holding the flash lights in Canada during winter to ensure that the plants grow in time for a summer harvest.
Can you expand a bit on how very strong Nokia's position was, the moment that iPhone went on sale?
I certainly don't remember things that way.

Is this 100% implausible?
That's one way of putting it.
