That was already a misleading statistic when you saw the headline last year, but even that statistic is totally untrue now. It was misleading based on exchange rates, but the British Pound is no longer a premium currency, because Brexit.
When you saw the headline, there were also other articles explaining that 9th largest was a more accurate estimate based on the same numbers. And clearly there has been a decline.
Nevertheless, the size of their economy is irrelevant; they're a small country with only 66 million people. They're so small, they don't even know what a million is. The UK, as a whole, considered as a single country (which even they will argue they're not) they would be the size of Thailand. If a word means one thing in American English, and something else in Thailand, and somebody says it on the internet without saying "in Thailand," then it is more reasonable to assume they're speaking American English. The same goes for if people online are talking about some government and you don't know which one; it is much more likely they're talking about a large country than a small one.
Only addicts want to watch political talk shows when they're not immediately available.
When they're sitting in front of a screen, people often feel like they should watch something important, and so they get suckered into watching that shit. But non-addicts are also disgusted and horrified at the idiocy of the content, and generally regret having been exposed to it.
They certainly wouldn't go for a walk in the park and be thinking, "oh golly, I wonder what [talking head with a bad writer] is speculating right this very moment?"
Most of the TV sports are "professional" sports that aren't even sports. They're just a type of "reality TV." All those sports even have systems to normalize team quality from year to year by trading players around; the idea of a "team" is meaningless. And most of the addicts are also doing even more absurd "fantasy sport" nonsense, which are just role-playing games for gambling. They're not even sports roleplaying, they're strictly roleplaying acts of bookmaking.
A person whose hobby is playing sports is unlikely to see their sport on TV; even if it is nominally the same sport, it will have different rules, and actually be a business not a sport at all. None of the people competing are even doing "competition" in the sense that people in the Olympics are competing.
Maybe their data tells them what percent of their customers are addicted to individual shows and channels?
The more of the non-addicts that leave, the less reason they have to keep prices reasonable.
And these days, most content makes it to DVD eventually. Addicts really don't care, they can't even imagine waiting. But for other people, there is more content available than time anyways, the delay is meaningless. As the sum total of available video storytelling increases with time, there is less general value in fresh content. So things that are below movie quality will continue to decline, but they'll continue as a more expensive niche product.
There exist people who have never seen My Sassy Girl (2001), The Pianist (2002), or Asobi ni Ikuyo (2010). All modern classics!
For that you don't want a full OS, you want something smaller like MbedOS.
You're going to do a lot of the work in interrupts though. Any full-size OS is going to have its own ideas about using interrupts, so you don't want to go there on critical systems.
Great idea for 1996, but these days you don't really want to use a realtime OS for an infotainment system. The more throughput, the better the frame rate, the latency isn't an issue.
Plus with Linux you get a lot of free drivers. Manufacturers want to be able to squeeze everything for savings, so you needs lots of drivers. When a new cheaper IC comes out, you want to be able to use it. They're basically taking over the "car stereo" market as an industry, so they all benefit by working together.
Newton never said to publish open letters because they encourage funding.
It seems to have already been known at the time that when publishers control what information researchers share, they also are involved in funding decisions.
The claim wasn't that you make more money if you publish directly and let your peers review your work directly, the claim was that science moves forwards faster, and that the people doing the research have a more honest idea of what other people are learning for their experiments.
If being non-scientific is the lifeblood of a University's research department, ignoring them and replacing their system with science might produce unexpected learning outcomes that exceed their past results! But yeah, their administrators will definitely be whining about the lack of kickbacks.
You can tell how full of shit they are when they tell you they have to do it that way, but they still claim to support "peer review." But then when people make proposals that would bring it back closer to the actual peer review that Newton, et al, taught the world then they get all whiny about how hard it is if they don't get paid by a publisher.
Some of their supporters even just lash out randomly, like claiming that people who support peer (lowercase p) review must be snobs. But they themselves support review by a class of Peers chosen by publishers, so they clearly must be of the People. LMFAO
If they didn't state the country, of course you're wrong to presume the UK.
National Institutes of Health is the US funding agency for health research.
If you've every looked up health information online, and you wanted to read about actual studies instead of bullshit, then you already have used their website.
I'd like to see a study that compares the average number of potato chips per year eaten by people who don't know what the NIH is, vs people who do know. I'd expect a huge correlation.
UK is a small country, getting smaller all the time. Not many things are about them.
You didn't ask any question. You gave your opinion, other people gave other opinions, then you started whining and lying about deluge.
You needed education, because you were whining in public about stuff that isn't broken, or even hard, you just didn't know how to do it. And you're being an asshole too, bug that's OK. Being whiny+ignorant+dishonest is a really lame combination.
Being wrong and not even having asked or listened?! Are you sure you're a nerd? Are you sure you matter?
Look, asshole, do you really get paid to have opinions on the internet?
If yes, go to "shut up troll." If no, go to "fuck off, why did you think other people do?"
It is fucking open source. It doesn't benefit if you use it, or don't use it. There is absolutely fucking nothing to shill for unless you're impressed by a number on a screen that increases. If you learned some programming, you could just make your own number display that increments as high as you want.
You respond to attempts to educate you with details by being a dumb-ass. That's why your DL drops. Fuckin' morons, there is just no shame anymore in being this stupid.
Yeah, but oil is way harder than gold. Gold is extracted from near the surface.
It is because it worked so good for metals that they knew to apply the computers to the harder problem of oil.
The point is, they can already easily find most of the gold in an area without much digging. Improvements only can hope to find the small amount that isn't already easy to find. Gold mines already don't mine all the ore they can find, they only mine the higher quality parts. They don't have a desire to dig up more of the lower quality stuff that they might find with an improved technique.
Whereas with oil, they can't find nearly as much as they want, and they can use almost anything they can pump out. Lots of room for improvement there.
I'm not skeptical that it might have some other use. But if there is some other use, that doesn't actually help it to be useful for the use discussed in the story. The potential existence of other uses does not in any way touch skepticism towards this application.
If it eventually replaces the geologists they currently use, it will do so without having significantly changed what gold ore is detected and dug up. Because that is not a limiting factor in gold mining.
I expect the lawsuits wrapped around the first case where the family can't agree on method of disposal will make this a very unpopular option....
That's daft.
The courts decide who makes the decision based on existing rules; it has nothing at all to do with which decision which person wants to make. The court will decide who gets to choose, and that person will choose. They won't even be talking about that "Person A wants foo and Person B wants bar," they'll be talking about, "Person A wants to dispose of the body according to their religious tradition, and Person B wants to dispose of the body according to the wishes of the deceased." The only time the method will be discussed is in the context of the wishes of the deceased. Choosing between the desires of Person A and Person B will be done based entirely on their legal relationship to the deceased and who is determined to be the Next of Kin.
Why do you keep whooshing yourself? We already know you didn't understand the replies.
News flash: your personal internal funnies are not other people whooshing. It just looks that way to you because you haven't discovered Identity and you don't realize that the listener isn't constrained to the internal thinking of the speaker.
According to the Christian holy book they will lay sleeping in the soil until Jesus floats down from the sky, then they'll wake up and come back out and go to Heaven.
Nobody went to Heaven yet unless they got some sort of special pass; it is just a bunch of angels up there. The humans who were good enough are merely queued to be included later.
OK, but that brown stuff that falls in through the crack in the foundation, by the stairwell? That's dirt. It is made of dead from a few hundred millions of years of dead bodies.

They can use Linux just fine. No problem. LibreOffice, no problem. But getting them not to call it Excel, never going to happen!
How does this compute in any way shape or form?
Maybe their data tells them what percent of their customers are addicted to individual shows and channels?

It might not have applied to the cable companies though, even then.
Why wait for the engineers to build it in, why not just include it as a feature from the start?
Or does that only work for privately held companies?
Pigeons. Definitely pigeons.
For that you don't want a full OS, you want something smaller like MbedOS.
You're going to do a lot of the work in interrupts though. Any full-size OS is going to have its own ideas about using interrupts, so you don't want to go there on critical systems.

No, but I wouldn't mind it if my car ran MSDOS 6.
He's saving that for a rainy day, it's his life savings. Have a heart.
