What of cities, like Houston, which are too spread out and flood too often for good mass transit?

Because it's not for you to pick and choose which laws you wish to follow. If a firm starts in the third world, it also likely cannot handle the regulatory burden of gdpr. For what it's worth, it would only have to be out side Eu

Maybe, but that is only because synthetic caffeine is currently not very competitive with the free caffeine produced as a by-product of decaf manufacture. The price of existing naturally-derived caffeine (and possibly the coffee from which

This looks cool, but I am afraid it could drive up coffee prices. That would be very sad.

Part of it is that some areas grow. Some cities are growing, others shrinking; different neighborhoods in different places. Some people I know have done a double or better on their property values over the past decade-and-a-half because i

I'm not sure exactly what it is, though I know all the S7s do. I suppose it may be carrier-locked? I bought mine unlocked, not via a carrier. It's a handy feature, though. Free music and entertainment with zero data spent. I&

I've heard good things about it, but oh, that name... it makes it sound like an early-2000s kids' toy. Just name it Pop OS. And get rid of the underscore if you want to be user-friendly to the average person.

It's also possibly the reason why we have had 3 shootings in the past 2 days. It's like copycat suicide. However, America has a free press. This is a great attribute of hers. If that is changed, we take a tremendous risk. Not

My S7 can still do it. The reason newer phones can't is because they lack an aux jack: the wire is used as an antenna. Another great reason to keep the headphone jack.

Japan and South Korea succeeded due to substantial American occupation and influence. Taiwan is a similar situation. From the perspective of liberty, China is an abject failure. Australia succeeded because it was a transplant of Englishm

I certainly didn't blame the west. I personally think it has done more good than harm in the long term. My only point was that not all cultures take to democracy in the same way.

Very true, though without such interference, the idea may never have arisen there.

At some point, foreign nations are different and we just have to deal with it. We got habeas corpus and other processes from the Magna Carta back in the eleventh century B.C., and the resultant English Common Law shaped the justice systems

If Google and other companies did this, the employees ought to unionize. Normally I am not in favor of that, but Google et al. were colluding to gain an unfair advantage on their side; that invited the same on the labor side. Companies co

From what I am reading here, a large part of the cost is up-front with chip design and setup. I suppose it depends on pricing. They also may wish to sell more after those four thousand units. http://blog.zorinaq.com/asic-d

The statistical reductions are down slightly from extremely high numbers. And for what it's worth, people shouldn't have to have a reason to do something, the government should have a reason to restrict it. Namely, the person be

You might reduce the stigma if you lowered the age. People continue to perceive drinking as an act of "rebellion" even after 21, mostly because it was for so long. Besides, it doesn't work. I am literally the only person I

I'm not sure that would ever work in America. We are sufficiently spread out that public transportation would be difficult (if possible) to implement. And I'm not talking about NYC or SF; remember, not every one lives there. Mu

I am highly suspicious of China's motivation for this. It happened at roughly the same time as news broke that the chinese stole Micron's technology. China is not exactly known for good or fair practices, and it would not be the

It is possible that Samsung will not do so. It's the same problem that would have affected them had they actually colluded: each player has incentive to wait until others have cut production/raised price and maintain their own.

Good to know, thanks. I suppose at the scale of SpaceX, ASICs may be an option.

Why are electronic phased arrays so expensive? I am no radio expert, but it seems that the pricey bit might be the engineering required rather than cost of production. From what I remember of my polar calculus, it sounds like a lot of pai
