For a lot of people, it may be a bad thing to use streaming instead of purchases. For many - including myself - it's a godsend. I have over 3000 CDs/albums I purchased prior to 2012 (the last time I bought an album); now for just $20/month I have redbook-or-better audio, for 46+ million tracks, and I can listen to it any time, any where, via my cell phone. I use Tidal and Pandora. I use Pandora to explore new genres, and when something catches my ear I can go and download it and decide if I like the entire thing. Having literally millions of albums available to me with a few clicks is huge - I love music. If I hadn't invested that ~$50K into my physical music library, I could pay for multiple lifetimes of downloads...
The difference between assault and battery. Assault is the real threat of harm, battery is the actual physical act of harm. So sexual assault is the threat of sexual battery; sexual battery is when the criminal finishes up and says you should put some ice on that...
Steel is one of the reserved State-Owned Enterprise segments of the economy, where the Chinese Government maintains complete control over the players in the industry. Just like banking, telecom, aviation, and a few others. Private control is basically forbidden - it's the Central Government, provincial Government, and other Government-employed players only who can own or control a steel foundry. That said, China really isn't Communist, so much as it is a fascist oligarchy, with extreme Government control over key industries and extreme control over Government by a few hundred families in Beijing.
And yet fewer people are dying from climate change than did just 70-80 years ago - even though the population is much higher. Technology WILL enable us to mitigate almost all the effects of any climate change - man-made or natural.
The 386 was still in heavy use in 1990; the 486 had just been released. I would wager there were at least 10X the number of 386 PCs in use in 1990 as there were 486 PCs. The 386 had around 275K transistors (fits with this story), and would do about 11 MIPS at 33 MHz, so if you clock that up to 300 MHz you're around 100 MIPS. Not too shabby!
I'm going by what Wikipedia defines as socialism: "The economic and social systems characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production". That doesn't sound like what happens in Scandinavia, does it? Do the people own all production, and there is a democratic control of that production? No?
It's still claimed to be an x86 processor though. The 100k transistor 286 had a much smaller instruction set and was only 16 bit
The first proper "x86" was the 386, which came in at 275,000 transistors.
Hmmm, x86 processors started with the 8086. It refers to a fundamental architecture and instruction set. I think your arbitrary declaration of 386 as the first "proper" x86 is misguided.
The wording you quoted says nothing about ownership, it says you can't transact in a currency that was issued after 9th January.
Correct. And in the US, if something is not prohibited by law, it is implicitly legal. There is probably no law that says you can walk from your front door to your car, does that make you guilty of a crime?
I'm sorry old friend, but that's just not true. If you read through that link to the FEC, you'll see that there can't be any foreign workers in a "decision-making" capacity or "participating" in decision making.
So a data collection agency is now making decisions? I guess then you also hold Hillary Clinton and the DNC as 100% guilty via their hiring of Christopher Steele!
Now (and pay attention here, Rooster, because I see your eyes starting to glaze over), members of the Cambridge Analytica staff have already snitched that CA was give legal guidance by their own lawyers warning them not to have foreign nationals in key positions and that advice was ignored and laws have been broken. This isn't me saying this, it's Cambridge Analytica legal counsel.
Gee, I wonder why? Perhaps it's easier to avoid the entire thing than try to do the legal amount without running into the issue we have here?
But clearly, if you think CA was an issue - then the hiring of Christopher Steele - a British Citizen - was clearly an issue for you too, correct?
Oh, I understand it. What is your claimed multiplier effect for that $100? Why not just give everyone $10,000 per month and really get the economy roaring?
I guess you don't understand numbers, kid... Percent of total collections have gone down, because the percent of income tax collections have gone up. But that's the wrong column. In 1955, the Federal Government collected ~$17.9 billion in corporate taxes. In 2012, it collected $242 billion. Inflation would have taken that $17.9 billion and made it $143 billion. So when adjusted for inflation, the Federal Government collects more corporate taxes today than it did in 1955. It's just that it has massively upped income taxes as well. Which is what I stated. But I know, my trolls have to question everything, and in doing so show their ignorance!
On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that prohibits transactions inside the U.S. that involve “any digital currency, digital coin or digital token” issued by the Venezuelan government after January 9.
Transactions do NOT include previous ownership. If you owned it prior to January 9th, you can keep it - you just can't trade, exchange, or redeem it.
So let me get this straight: we take Government money, give it to people, then take a big chunk of it back in the form or taxes? Let me give you $100, then have you give me back $40. I'm still out $60, and a lot of extra bookkeeping in the form of, well, Form 1040.
Most of those entitlements are Social Security and Medicare (about $1 trillion); since Yang's plan is for those under 65, those entitlements would still exist.
Nice deflect! Good to see you were completely wrong, but not surprising to see you simply cannot admit it. There is no law prohibiting hiring a foreign worker for a campaign.

Before CNN claims that Putin did it with the advice and consent of Trump?
Facebook had 100MM users in 2008 and about 1 billion in 2012. Considering that there were about 130MM votes cast in 2008 and 125MM in 2012, I'd say that 100MM to 1 billion users is quite a large number to scrape. It was 10 to 200 times the margin of victory in each election.
In your first two sentences, you had two grammatical errors. Someone needs to go back to college!
Rider is a private institution and has a flat fee for everyone. They charge $40K to start - regardless of where the student comes from.

Our farming is cooling the planet, which makes sense if you think about it (evaporation from crops and watering).

You can nearly buy everything you want with bitcoin.
You stated it. And yes, it was a retarded post. I have no idea why you claimed what you did...
So it never converts to US dollars? Really? I'm surprised at that...
Corporate income tax collections have kept pace with inflation; individual income taxes have skyrocketed. Your claims are false.

A fast 486 back in those days was 33 MHz; perhaps this runs at 330 MHz, and thus makes up for less transistor count with brute speed of execution?
Of COURSE Siri isn't AI - I asked Alexa and she confirmed it!
