California's urban water usage is 10% of the total water usage. Of that 10% half is used for landscaping.

Unfortunately it also means the combination of the whole of the distinct sets. Combine them all. You expect no internal disagreements? There were internal disagreements before the Union. It would be worrying for everyone around the world if the EU turned into a single borg mind.
Sort of like the United in the states of America then?
At last union means the intersect of bits that correspond. United is "all for one and one for all"?
It was originally designed to be launched from within the space shuttles payload bay. Optical spy sats were at an optical limit a long time ago. You can't make a bigger mirror that works and can be launched. You can use Interferometry to get a better image with a wide dispersal of elements but at optical wavelengths that is very difficult and if you want to do it you do not need a reusable craft. It can maneuver but then most satellites used for earth gazing can as well (and they do not have to have the extra mass needed to come down to earth again)
Unless the cost of the equipment or data on it is more than the cost of launching it by a large margin. So bringing it back is worth while.
Yep there are interesting things and Israel do manage to do them. Germany, UK and America also seem to do this.
Explosives are fun. Reactive Armour can disrupt a shaped charge. Even simple grid armour can provide the separation needed to reduce the effect of a shaped charge. there are reasons why vehicles look like a chicken cadge. I works and is light and cheap.
Us humans are really good at killing things. If it is profitable we can use and abuse it until it is totally gone. Hurm why do I fear that some things do not change.
There used to be this concept of a contract. You agree to train them (plus uni) and they agree to work with you for 2/3/4 years in compensation. I believe the military still use this (at least in most of Europe they do. Business less so now)
It is silly to spend $100,000 a year . But you do not have to. That is silly money. Colleges in the US are wow..silly. Many of the jobs in It or recruitment or sales or whatever the fuck you wish are hard to be good at but there are lots of people who can do it and excel (degree or not)
Sort of put your money where your mouth is and sponsor those you need.
An encyclopedia is never authoritative. It is an overview. It provides references for you to follow. It is an entry point to the subject you looked up. It is never the be all and end all. There is a reason why Wikipedia has a no original research clause.
They can all be smart. The one who figures it out is remembered.
Built by smart people and less smart people and those who work in factories. Who is to say how smart any of those people are?
It is known that those who designed it were smart. Those who built it may or may not be smart.A thousand people brute forcing it are unlikey to break a code. A couple of people who know can use a thousand people to build a machine that can.
The GP is correct. To display most things you do not need javascript.
For most things there is little reason to use javascript. High bandwidth then reloading the page is not slow. If you have low bandwidth then initially loading the few hundred k of random javascript is slow and it tends to behave badly. (let alone the random adds that you will force on people (guessing your type))
Have you seen how much it costs to become a graduate of anything in the US?
Perhaps the High tech companies should start training people. Even starbucks can train people to make coffee. Coding to the standard these companies seem to want is not that expensive and they may earn some loyalty.
Acctually it would be quite funny to have to use a code editor similar to wordperfect just to have the "display codes F4" popup to show the hidden meaning of all the whitespace
Part of the concept of writing is to make meaning unambiguous. It is a very hard problem even in mathematics which is pure in and of its self (unlike spoken language). Over thousands of years it was figured out how basic algebra could be communicated well. How precedent worked. How to present it without ambiguity (more complex math still has specialized peculiarities) and now someone wants to fiddle with that using hidden characters? Do they even know how many non visible characters are in Unicode?
