Companies can fold while offering products that are in-demand. The problem is that you have to have enough demand, and sell at a price that allows you to be profitable at that demand level. So it's quite possible for a company to h

Yep. Amazing how you need 2 thousand engineers just to make an app (which is already made) and run some servers (which are probably hosted on AWS anyway).

Yes, but that doesn't explain why our voters consistently elect such people, while voters in other industrialized nations don't (nearly as much).

Exactly. The question now is: why is American government so broken, and the corollary is: what can we do to fix it? Is American culture simply broken, so that only utterly sociopathic people go into government? Is America just completely

Where are you getting this insane idea? Wishful thinking? The people clearly voted for GOP candidates across the board, at national, state, and local levels. It's no secret that the GOP generally dislikes spending on social programs

Most of the points of the Trump budget are things the Republican Congresspeople agree with to some extent. They're just arguing now among themselves, with extremist Republicans wanting even more cuts, and moderate ones wanting less.

Short answer: NO. This question seems to come up every time there's a discussion like this about low-voltage power. The whole reason we use high voltages in the first place is to reduce resistive losses. Ohm's Law (V=IR) plus th

You may or may not need to reduce the capacitance: modern multi-layer ceramic capacitors have very high capacitance values, allowing replacement of many other types of capacitors. It used to be that a 10uF capacitor was something you'

I think it reflects on a severe amount of risk-averseness on the part of the corporate producers these days. Decades ago, they were willing to take risks on new ideas, both in movies and in video games. Now they're not; they only wan

The popular vote wasn't that far away; it never is, or else the election would have gone the other way. The Electoral College gives extra weight to votes in smaller states, but only so much. That's why I pointed out that the peop

Yes, but it's also important to realize that this is the will of the American people. They voted for this; they voted for this Administration, and they voted for this Congress.

How were they actively excluding anyone? NASA should be working with other space agencies that actually have the capability to do things. ESA has successfully launched rockets and probes, JAXA has done the same. What have middle-eastern

The problem here is that NASA's very name shows that the Earth's atmosphere is their concern. Now, that could be moved to another agency, with NASA concentrating only on space, but then it needs a new name. We could just drop th

Is it just me or does it seem like there's something wrong that these 30-year-old game franchises are continually being milked? Is it really that hard to come up with something new these days? Back when these things were new, there w

Exactly. You can't have it both ways: you want total control over the traffic on your network, you get total liability for it too. You want to be a blind carrier, immune from liability? You can't have any control over the conte

There shouldn't, unless you're wiling to be responsible for all the bits that pass through your network. So if one of your subscribers transfers some CP on your network, you need to automatically to go prison for life for that.
