Not going to get broken up. Apple has Samsung. Amazon has to compete with Google and every other e-commerce store. Facebook is in a natural monopoly business and has taken steps to be politically involved. Google owns the web through search

Cool but work performance will take a hit because less blood flow will go to the front of the brain. You need a lay down desk with your front facing at the ground.

Its important to realize that all technology runs on code that is not visible to the user. For example, clicking a button may not do what the button says. Pressing the Off button only turns off the light, but not the device. Maybe device go

Not quite. Usage wise: Batteries have lower gravimetric density than h2 tanks. Batteries have about the same gravimetric density than h2. Economic wise: Batteries have cobalt which is more scarce than oil/nat. gas from which h2 is made

This move is not radical. Government lags private sector. Private sector knows it can go zero-emission and have given governmnet the green light. California just likes to look like its ahead of the curve but its not.

This is well known and won't change. A couple months ago there was a scandal where celebrities were arrested for bribing college officials for their kids acceptance. How come the college officials weren't named and fined and arres

This ridiculous. WeChat is the least free speech platform there is. It exists to monitor Chinese abroad and have pro-China news. I believe there was a video where a Chinese United Nations member was telling a Chinese audience that every mem

Canonical does not work for free. Open source has turned into a marketing term. Canonical made Amazon a default install on Ubuntu and now they are trying to turn the Snap store into something like the Apple or Android store.

It is forecasted to be about the same as existing gas prices. It is law that all gas/petrol cars have to be removed by 2050 so all existing gas infrastructure will be replaced with hydrogen by then. Most likely earlier

Natural gas is 50% less polluting than traditional oil and petrol. This means you can double production before you see same effects. This is huge and acceptable by governments. Alternatively think of the low energy output of solar and wind
