I can't really tell from the satellite photos. Looks like there is a river with some agricultural fields and green stuff next to it.

The Ottomans taking loans from the Russians, their traditional enemy, seems odd. I know they were reluctant allies when fighting Napoleon, but I've never heard of such a financial arrangement.

Most working people in the US are on private healthcare. What you are saying makes no sense. Most everyone agrees our current system isn’t working and needs fixing.

I agree. ChargePoint has the contactless payment setup, but you need to have the Application setup with your account on it. After that it works through the Apple Wallet app.

For this project, renovating the historic building to transform the mall into housing makes sense. However, for most other malls, it might be more practical to tear them down and build housing from scratch.

I guess compared to most of Europe, which is getting poorer? I think the coming decades will now be dominated by the growth of the Indian economy, who will probably be the biggest beneficiary of the worldwide de-investment in China.

I guess you can by the number of units sold on certain games. GTA 6 looks to be a blockbuster once it's released.

The same thing can happen in the US- People may be able to get a job, but it will then prevent them from receiving any aid that may still be needed.

If you are building a railway through very expensive real estate, it's going to be expensive. The California High Speed Rail project is having the same issues. Buying up property in Los Angeles and San Francisco is super expensive.

I wonder how this will affect the EDU market here in the US. ChromeBooks are heavily used in K-12 education and are nearly ubiquitous. If they keep the same manageability as is currently available for Chromebooks, it should be fine. IF not,

Should be interesting going forward once the Trump administration takes over. I'd imagine they aren't going to be happy with all of anti-American tech fines being levied.

This is simply layoffs without having to do layoffs. Much cleaner. I work for a state institution, due to budget cuts, layoffs are Coming. However, almost everyone hired the last few years are temporary employees. So we aren’t laying people

Ha, I worked in a computer lab a student assistant and used to modify the Netware for Mac client on some of the tech staff we worked for. I remember swapping the logout and login commands on our boss's computer.

You can also add SGI and most proprietary Unix vendors at the time. To a certain extent I think Apple also had a hand in killing the workstation market. When you can get a Mac that did Unix things and also ran Office and Photoshop, why get

This is part of the reason why Linux ate their lunch. For the price of one Sun server, you could get 4 Dell servers that ran Linux, and they were faster. Granted, you didn't have all of the redundancy that was built into these higher e
