What if the reason for fewer startups is the fact that large oligopolies will buy up his ideas and compete with him or her. Have a good idea about some feature in your field of expertise a very rich competitor will likely buy you up or copy your idea and keep you from growing or even remaining in business.
The presidency can go on and on, president or no president. If POTUS was impeached and the V.P. refused to take on the role, it is likely that Congress and the Senate could do a better job than what the population is experiencing today.
By the way, without immigration, the population is shrinking in numbers.
We in Montreal are getting fibre to the pole near the house and copper from there (about 300 feet copper). We have virtually unlimited (300g/mo) downloads and a comparitively slow upload speed, making uploads unlimited. Still downloads are around 1.5 megabyte per second. Can't complain for $120/Mo internet and cable (40 unique channels, sports, multiple languages, dramma, netflixs, etc...). And still we complain that $120/mo almost unlimited cable and internet is a lot of money.
There's plenty of people out there who'd take that risk if they could pay less than full price.
What is the dollar amount of the item? For something in the $50.00 range, its cheaper to destroy than fix, unless you find a bunch of kids/hobbists who could make use of those things.
If I return a $200 watch because its too large/small or heavy, would that go into the "crush it up" bin?
Suppose you were a small entrepreneur and come up with a great product. You start to manufacture it, and suddenly Microsoft (for example) comes along and says "I want a license to brand it in my name. I want to buy your company for your ideas/product. You don't want to sell. So what does Microsoft do. Given lots of $$$, they buy your product, copy it with a few changes (maybe even cheapening it or modifying it slightly), and suddenly, Microsoft is your competitor, selling a knock-off of your product under their name and brand. Two years later, you are out of business. The European Union's objective is to level the playing field. If you are in business xyz, then do not, under xyz charter, also compete with abc,def,ghi... who are in different industries.
You, xyz has amounts of money your competition does not. You drive the competitor out of business via protracted lawsuits. If your corporate charter is for doing "search engines". then that's it. Do not, as your charter is defined, become a hardware manufacturer which also makes products that divulge every purchasing action you make, or social contact you meet to discuss.
Wow, almost sounds like the POTUS effect is what they are guarding against.
Yes but is it half the water they need in gallons? We Americans don't understand metric fractions.
No, the superiors only understand litres, and metricand once you don't use those, you are incapable of using antything else, and must resort to moaning and crying.
And your vaunted metric system is just as arbitrary at base as anything else. Otherwise, did you know this well thopught out and flalwees metric system, th emetre is exactly 1/299792458 of the distance that light travels in a second.
So no need to run around brandishing the big metric cock like it is the end all and be all of measurements.
I mean, unless it is the length that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second - then you have bragging rights.
The Gallon is a standard for the USA and for it's territories. But if the USA wants to export products to the world, or manufacture cars, or airplanes or any critical equipment such as space ships for example, it is definitely not American measure. Neither is the weather tracked in around the World in American Standard. The world's standard applies and so America is once again not great. The non American world standard is the metric system.
I understand that American congressmen and educators felt that it is too difficult to teach the metric system, or to increase the size of a football field from 100 yards to 100 meters. Your 2x4x8 lumber and 4x8 gyproc etc. is standard, but we use a metric equivalent for the 4x8 panels of gyproc
Some countries use both in some cases Eg. Canada. We buy some fruit and vegetables by the pound, But USA suppliers provide the quantities in metric measure. Officially Canada is a metric country.
Unless you buy something that is legitimately defective, there is no reason to return it. I'm pretty old and I can count the number of times I've returned something on one hand, and have fingers left over.
I have returned two items. One was a hard disk that was mailed to me within a bubble envelope. It didn't survive a full format. The second was a battery charger that went up in smoke, when it should not. I did reorder the same model, and it was OK, except the battery clip broke at the hinge. I went to the local store and just replaced the clamps, I was happy with the charger and still am. Two defective products. Two products exchanged for replacements.
nah, most feminists have children, 86% of women do. they're just not having more than 2, instead about 1.86 kids on average. That's not enough to keep a population growing.
Why not more kids? Only one reason. Costs. Costs of healthcare, costs for education, and too may "eating out" meals. Want to bet that each family member has eaten at a fast-food outlet at least twice a week. Multiply that net-net expense by 52, and you will see it amounts to a lot of money and to obesity.
net-net is the amount left after income taxes and necessary spending. Its also called discretionary spending. Corporations have made sure that you need two incomes to be able to afford your toys, a new car every 5 years, rent or mortgage and some trivial amount for
luxuries.
Even if the algorithm was not symmetric, we do not require the public key to generate the private key. Just test with multiple streams of private test keys until the private key is discovered. You do not have to test the entire stream of data, just enough to know if it's a hit or a miss.
What has to be done is to generate a key space. Consider a NxNxNxN set of encryption ¼ key parts. Randomly select from the array, a set of 4 indices to be used to construct a key for this particular stream of data. Create the encryption key using the index into the NxNxNxN table. It can be a header in the stream of data sent separately as a meta data file. Add a salt value, and do not specify which index is for which dimension. Four bytes of indices would allow 256^4 choices, followed by a permutation or encryption of the bytes containing the indices.
A lot can be done to algorithms to prevent quantum computing from solving the key problem in real time. Also, what can be done is to intersperse false data with the encrypted data. The Quantum computer key-table generator could create a new table every few minutes.
The flaw in the ointment is having access to the program(s) that generate the key-table array, the encryption program and the decryption program, as well as some mutually shared private data.
We are approaching the speed of light with Quantum computing. Mans brain works at twice that.
This is an American Phenomenon. The rest of the world will not comply, or just prevent those American copyrighted items from being available in the rest of the world.
And they should penalize the copyright holder for ensuring that his copyrighted items do not leave continental United States, or Hawaii or Alaska.
Of course, when you head to the license bureau to show proof of ownership of the 30K vehicle, how are you going to do so? Will you provide a cheque for $30,000 of money you do not show as assets?
The regulation is put into place because the taxes are too high. Australia, lower your tax rate, and cheaters will do their fair share of payments. Then you can stop to enforce that $10k limit.
The GNU project and the GPL licenses are due to Richard Stallman. He is the reason that the GPL licences exist, allowing Linus to do Linux. Take away the joke, and you whittle away at the GNU project. The joke and other documentation is Richard Stallman's self deliverables in his life, and a life that he has every right to be proud of.
If you remove the joke, you remove a bit or Richard Stallman, a person for whom I have a great deal of respect. We need a little humor in our life, and that joke's not in bad taste.
For a few months I have been following youtube discussions about new computer hardware. Typically, it is information about "overclocking, frames per second" and other quite insignificant timing information.
What I find annoying is the editing that is performed to create a 15minute or 10 minute segment. Its cut and paste of discussions, etc. The worst is the absence of pauses between sentences. Those poses are important for the brain to replay what it heard/saw, before moving on to the next mini-topic.
In grade 3, some 70 years ago, we were taught "two spaces" after a sentence. That is for the same reason I just posted the preceding paragraph. Our brain absorbs information in chunks. Too many chunks too fast and the information is not even read or listened to. Its my personal experience that two spaces works better for comprehension.
Is Rafael suffering from burn-out. In a burn-out state, a person tends to lash out at items of lessor importance, particularly when the problem at hand is very very difficult to resolve.
Perhaps that is true. However, there is also the issue that visas in general are harder to get even if you're not on the travel ban. I am an American, living in France and I know that some of my colleagues do not want to travel to the US (for business or pleasure) due to the hassle. This has to be reducing the number of people who want to visit for any reason. This type of feedback probably gets back to the people who run conferences and may have an effect on where they choose to hold them.
I know from personal my own travels that entering the US (even as an American) is a worse experience than entering France. The American border control just seems hostile - the way they question people, etc. I always feel unwelcome when returning despite their big signs saying "Welcome to the US". When entering France they just glance at the passport, stamp it and let you through (I'm sure they already pre-screened me somehow). Note that the hostility also exists when entering the UK- perhaps it is a general Anglo-Saxon problem.
Aside from valid VISA / Passport, the Canada customs would randomly check your luggage if they felt you were a smuggler. And that depends on your departure country.
We Canadians are welcoming. We are not so stressed out with politically generated fear, politically encouraged racism, or politically discriminating against certain religions. I sincerely believe that if the USA elected a different president and vice president, that the country I knew would again be the kind, welcoming, tolerant and trusting. So, Americans, do something about it.
He is in the era of the internet and the smartphone. Advanced technology changes priorities. Business is now global, not just to five or six trading partners.
I thought that testing was performed to help the teacher evaluate how her own teaching was being understood. In our school we have a few teacher assistants. The teacher points out students who need extra help and the assistant works with the student to deconfuse the subject.
He should appeal. With that ruling, spare parts manufacturers who make brake pads and car components should be found likewise guilty too. The argument is that what is against this benevolent person applies to all manufacturers of replacement parts.
Want affordable medicare, apply for residency/citizenship to not other world class countries. Many years ago my son went on business to Russia. He Had a major attack of kidney stones. He went to the hospital, was admitted, given treatment and medication. All at no cost. Medicare is universal in Russia and people did not need to provide proof of insurance, or even carry a medical card.
Desperation causes people to take jobs so that food and rent can be afforded. And do you want to bet they do not healthcare or dental care.
Some of you never had to do without. I hope you never have to. As a kid, just during the 2nd world war, my parents earnings were not enough, I had to wear shoes that people put into charity boxes. For many years I never knew what fresh bread tasted like. After the war, my parents started a business with a community loan. We advanced to normalicy, we still help the underprivileged. And no, we were not immigrants. My parents had to deal with the 1939-1945 hard times during World war 2. We live well today.
I look at my bill and I give the 15% rounded up to the nearest dollar into the server's hand. I am probably contributing to unpaid taxes on tips. But that is small amounts when you compare the President of the USA not paying Income taxes for years.
The trouble with journalism today is that journalists either take one side or the other. There is no reporting to get a "both-sides" viewpoint. To really have CNN or FOX or MSNBC do interviews of the important representatives from both sides.
Where is CNN interviewing Trump enthusiasts and Fox interviewing non-Trump enthusiasts?
