Legislation for parliamentary members from the American colonies had already been passed before the American Revolution. Britain's parliament was supposed to offer parliamentary representation to anyone that was being taxed. Taxing the American colonists without representing them violated the guaranteed 'Rights of Englishmen'. Parliament had been trying to fix this since the puritan days of 1640. The governor of Massachusetts had reported in his journal ("Journal of John Winthrop") that he had been asked by Parliament to send representatives to England as either lobbyists or members but he had refused for he didn't want Massachusetts to become tax-liable.
This went on till just before the revolutionary war. People like John Grenville, Ben Franklin, Thomas Crowley, John Adams, and others all debated and wrote papers discussing parliamentary seats in London or federal representation with the empire that would have legal rights to tax the American colonies. However, there was no assembly or request sent to Westminster by the colonial powers.
During the debate for the Stamp Act, (which stated published written paper such as legal documents, and commercial paper like magazines and newspapers, had to be printed on specified stamped paper from England), several delegates from the colonies attended the sessions in New York, but not as members of Parliament. William Knox reported that these delegates were offered membership, but did not do so for they did not want to give England legal jurisdiction to tax them.
From wikipedia: William Knox submitted that,
whilst [the radical colonists] exclaim against Parliament for taxing them when they are not represented, they candidly declare they will not have representatives [in Parliament] lest they should be taxed...The truth...is that they are determined to get rid of the jurisdiction of Parliament...and they therefore refuse to send members to that assembly lest they should preclude themselves of [the] plea [that Parliament's] legislative acts...are done without their consent; which, it must be confessed, holds equally good against all laws, as against taxes...The colony advocates...tell us, that by refusing to accept our offer of representatives they...mean to avoid giving Parliament a pretence for taxing them.[40]"
The "Conciliatory Resolution" was dated on Feb 27. "The Conciliatory Resolution declared that any colony that contributed to the common defense and provided support for the civil government and the administration of justice (ostensibly against any anti-Crown rebellion) would be relieved of paying taxes or duties except those necessary for the regulation of commerce." (wikipedia)
You could say the same thing about Antigua. They passed (or could pass, I don't know) a law that applies to buying and selling stuff in their own country that may be protected by the IP laws of a foreign country. I don't suppose their laws regarding the sale of such would apply in the US. This is why we have treaties.
Because with robots making the food, the cost of the food will be marginal compared to the high value of the entertainment. (At least that is the premise.)
It was thought it would require the mass of Jupiter, but that was changed due to a redesign. The new design requires as much energy as 70% of the US annual energy usage. High, but not astronomical anymore.
Actually, if the EU subsidizes farmers to destroy crops, this is one of the causes of the higher food production. That is the purpose of a subsidy. In this case, if they grow too much, they are paid by the gov't. Thie higher food production is a result of the burning of the subsidized crops, not the other way around.
I blame the Xbox for this. Before it existed, developers made games for the PC and anticipated increasingly powerful hardware specs. They made the games for next year's hardware. Now, games are developed for the current level of Xbox since the hardware upgrades so slowly, and then the game is ported to the pC. The lack of hardware increase anticipation has led to games not requiring increasingly powerful hardware, and so there is little need for gamers to upgrade their pcs if future games aren't requiring it.
Most liquor in the US is sold in metric units. Some countries define a pint of beer in metric terms, such as 568.26 ml, or just 600 ml are used for 'a pint of beer'.
I liked the CBC's Lang and O'Leary. A financial daily show that often explained the finances around the world. I haven't found something comparable that talks about finances as globally on US TV. I get sick of the Washington focused news channels in the US.
There's a direction in food packaging to switch to metric because right now, international companies have to have a different wrapper (in english oz.) for the US and metric (ml) for the rest for the world. Right now they have to have the measurements in english in the US. They want to have a choice. Then you'll start seeing a lot of foods with metric measurements on the carton/wrapper for the total size because they will use the same wrapper for the US that is used for most every other country. The sodium and such are already listed in metric.
Then you have the weathermen on tv, who get all their numbers in Celcius but have to convert them for the masses.
It's a slow process, but it's happening very slowly in many areas because staying with english units increases costs.
These interpretations all are similar in their measurable outcomes. That's why we have these interpretations instead of focusing in on one of them.
The many worlds postulate, for instance, doesn't split the universe into many until the observation is made. So the cat is in a multi-state until that point in time. In all the interpretations, there is a multi-state until the measurement is made and then something happens, depending on the interpretation.
I've been following Kurzweil for years, and I've familiar with reversible computing, but I've never heard of him commenting on that topic. His arguments mostly stem from exponential growth of power. Citation? I'd like to read his words.
It's supported from the Chinese gov't so I would assume, people that don't want Google to have their info (such as gov't officials, Chinese military) would have an interest. Foreign powers don't want to use Apple, MS, Google proprietary stuff cause it might leak info to US gov't. Just speculating here.
Not sure how you couldn't see the whole sentence....
" Hundreds of "paid GOP crusaders" descended upon South Florida to protest the state's recounts,[2] with at least half a dozen of the demonstrators at Miami-Dade paid by George W. Bush's recount committee"
"Unless all the other Islam countries are going to do nothing which is very unlikely"
The arab countries' governments would be quite ecstatic to see Iran taken down. 'Persia' and Arabia have had this power competition for centuries. Notice how the arab countries are trying to change the name of the Persian Gulf to just the Gulf in order to piss Iran off. There might be other countries to jump on Iran's side, but not their closest neighbors.
Or the ending of oil subsidization could be accompanied by legalizing the sale of more efficient cars in the US. There's no reason we shouldn't have the 80 mpg diesel Ford Focus and Smart Cars enjoyed by Europe and instead have only the 40 mpg Smart cars be among the highest mpg consumer car.
There's a lot of taxi cabs in the cities though, or at least there were 20 years ago when I visited. How do the cab drivers afford the more expensive regular cars if they can't afford the $10k ones?

They were debating the concepts of infinity.
I paid 7 bucks for a movie in '89. If there has been inflation since $2 prices, it was in the 80s. The prices have stayed about the same since then.

It does however, require the exotic matter known as negative energy in its usage.

How would such a business plan make money?

For the electroweeak force yes, but not in the QCD Lagrangian. B+ meson CP violation is the new part.

M'eh, that's more like sports fanboism than a war.
Sounds worse than a tablet.

Why is this marked offtopic? Voice recognition is done with neural networks, the topic of the article.

Wasn't that a side plot from Johnny Mnemonic?
