This whole argument about copying is rather silly, at some point the text must be transmitted in a human readable form. At which point it can be recorded either electronically, or in the most difficult case by writing down manually what must be copied. Everything else is a question of degrees.
To what end? A shot across the bows of screen manufacturers? I suppose that's possible, to try and force screen manufacturers (i.e. Samsung) to cooperate on production costs for existing screens. But that doesn't seem like a useful negotiating tactic to me and it would probably be more useful to keep this secret until scale manufacturing deals have been signed and work has started.
I find it unexpectedly hilarious that we now have issues that cannot be fully described without running the risk of crashing our machines. Its as if there are certain unholy words that could cause us to faint if we were to utter them.
I think its the amount of time taken for the price of Bitcoin to rise from the first amount to the second.
Because if you have a cool name you can sell it solely based on the name. A bill with a boring name must stand on its own two feet to pass.
Could some of this also result from the contractual nature of using Chinese suppliers? I know that from my own experience with contracting, that proposing an improvement can be difficult if you also want to attach a fee to the improvement. How do you say, "I think your proposal is flawed, this way is better, but it will cost you $X more" in a way that doesn't feel like a money grab or an insult? It can be in your best interest to allow the flaw to stand, let the client notice and propose the improvement during the next round of contract negotiations. And so the only improvements a contractor can propose are those that do not cost substantially more then the established price.
Of course this is more for fixed price for fixed work contracting. Contracts with more variable pricing my be better. Maybe other contacting setups can alleviate this issue, but I haven't seen many that could work and that clients are willing to sign.
Well an existing gem might not. But a gem you use has could have a developer's computer get compromised and could publish a malicious update. If you inadvertently download it while updating your gems you could get compromised.
The problem here is that you don't even have to get directly attacked to be affected.
Does the Chinese government often approve such protests? What would they allow their citizens to protest?
This might also be another avenue for causation.
If people with mental disorders were more sleep-deprived and then consumed more sugar, wouldn't that also show up in the data?
Although the study looked for this link, it was not seen in the data: men and women with mental disorders were not more likely to consume more sugar.
A causal A > B > C link would look similar (data-wise) to a A > C link.
What was the list of speakers?
I'm getting a 500 error when the page tries to load the blog. I can't see any text at all.
How did you arrive at that conclusion? You could make an investment now in infrastructure to reduce your long term costs. It's not about the cost of delivering service, it's about how much service is expanding, as measured by purchases of networking infrastructure.
That seems silly to me. Is every bill supposed to be perfect the first time? Amendments exist so that people concerns with a bill can be addressed. Getting rid of them would simply prolong the process of passing laws.
Yeah what if the website isn't finished? Does the seller still get paid? I really wonder how they plan on solving conditional logic that depends on programmatic sources.
What happens if you want to change the contract? How do you revoke the previous one? I suppose this would have to be done in a manner that involves both parties, some sort of two part signing process.
What if there's a bug in the contract? The contract then becomes ambiguous and you're left with the same problem.
Japan has something similar to this. You can build buildings of a higher restriction (residential being more strict then industrial) in a lower restriction zone.
This article describes it rather well.
I think you should reconsider reading the article. It presents an interesting viewpoint on the benefits of passing judgement in domestic abuse situations. I think that "passing judgment" is a misleading description of what he is doing. A perhaps better one would be "encouraging victims to take control of their lives".
The author has found that, in his experience, some (maybe many) victims of continued domestic abuse stay with their abusers because they simply continue doing what they've always done. Or perhaps the abuser "needs them" in some capacity. So the authors solution is to encourage and explain to victims that they can choose a different path in life and that their abusers may in fact not need them at all. It seems the author believes that a lack of self interest can be a contributing factor in continued abuse and that the solution is to increase the victims sense of self-worth and self-determination.
I don't believe that this solution will always be beneficial. Or that domestic abuse is in some way the victim's fault but the author does present an interesting argument for the benefit of asking the question "what do you get out of this relationship?" And has, at least anecdotally, found some positive results from doing so.
Really? Aren't you going to use the browser in about 5 seconds? I'm sure the NSA cares that I checked my mailbox yesterday as well.
Yeah, until the retraction mechanism breaks.
I found this PDF: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/budget/fy2015... that says it cost ~2 million to integrate in 2013.
It's on a slope I believe.
Well that's the point that he/she is trying to make isn't it? States in the US are more like to countries within the EU. That's in part why I think a lot of people from the US refer to 'Europe' as a cohesive entity, because in many ways it is. Different states and different countries are at different levels of progress.
I really like this idea. Not only does it force you to increase the volume of your writing, giving you more practice, but it also forces you to try to immediately use what you've learned, fixing the knowledge in your mind. Also I would think that it forces you to test whether you truly understand the topic. You can't really be ambiguous or hand-wavy when describing a concept to someone else.
I like how you assume that he/she is white, or even a man at all.
Here's a similar site for Canada: http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/search?lang=en
The rectangles represent the number of men on Napoleon's Grand Army during his march on, and subsequent retreat from, Moscow.
I would like to note that they found pesticides only in soft-drinks in India. Tests for the US found no pesticides. I'm not trying to minimize this or anything, it is really horrible but I was wondering if this really was a world-wide problem as the above comment suggests.
Also teach it still at Waterloo, Canada.
Why do you say that the CRA is the most competent organization in all of Canada? Not doubting that it could be or anything I was more wondering on what basis you made that claim.
