The A321 isn't the A320's successor - they didn't stop selling the A320 then begin producing the A321. The A320 is a family of aircraft, all being made concurrently (so the current models being sold are the A318, A319, A320, A321 - numbers smaller than 320 are a shrink and numbers greater than 320 are a stretch of the base A320 model).

You must have people in much worse than average health, then. Around here there are plenty of over 50s, and there's hardly any sick days. We have no problem planning. Only being 75% certain that people will be well enough to work four days per cycle sounds like you have a catastrophically unhealthy workforce at any age.

The production countries will notice: undoubtedly demand for their products will fall with an increased price due to tarriffs.

However, wind generating capacity does tend to be the greatest when we need lots of electricity. We tend to need the most power during the wet and windy winter months...when the wind bit of the wet and windy means wind generation is at or nearly at peak production.

Google aren't merely offering their services, they are attaching exactly the same strings that Microsoft used to attach. Microsoft used to say: if you want to ship Windows, you may only ship Windows on all of the PCs you sell. If you ship one with OS/2 or Linux on, then the deal is off.

Google are doing the same thing. If you want to ship phones with Android and Google Play (which is increasingly necessary for many apps to just work), then *all* your phones must ship with this, and none with a competitive operating system or environment.

This is the monopoly abuse they are being punished for. They are not being punished for making good apps, they are being punished for using their dominant position (which on the lower end is 100% dominance) to prevent competition from even getting going.

What where they even thinking to launch a smear site like that? It's certain to backfire: the message such a site gives is that RISC-V is a serious challenger to ARM, if ARM has to go out and smear it, and people who've never even heard of RISC-V will now be checking it out because this kind of story gets picked up by the computing press and gives a huge amount of free publicity to RISC-V.

Because Apple isn't in a monopolistic position. Apple has quite a small marketshare, but Google have an effective monopoly (and an actual monopoly for non-premium devices). It's not about whether Apple is doing anything better or worse, it's about whether Google has an effective monopoly or not. If the situation were reversed (iOS being on 90% of devices), then the EU would be going after Apple.

No, investing isn't gambling, it's not black and white like that.

There's more of a scale. At one end you have "gambling" and at the other you have "investing". At the far gambling end of the spectrum you have games of chance (e.g. roulette), binary options (which is gambling dressed up to look like investing), slot machines etc - basically all the types of things where the house always win. At the other end you have things like bonds, traditional long term buy and hold in blue chip companies etc. There's still some risk but on that end of the spectrum, it's not a zero sum game nor "the house always wins".

If you say all investing is gambling because there's some risk and can never be a sure thing, then you get to the reductio ad absurdum argument that absolutely everything is gambling, e.g keeping your money in a savings account is also gambling because that's not a sure thing either.

The murder rate in the USA is around 5 times higher than what it is in Western Europe, so there is some justification to the "murderous pricks" reputation.

To be fair, there were 17250 murders alone in the US (not including suicides) in 2017, versus 723 murders (of all kinds) in the UK in 2017. Turning that into a percentage of population, the murder rate is almost 5 times higher in the US than in the UK, so the view that you're all just a bunch of murderous fucks does have at least some justification.

In other words, never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Having a human that can get bored babysitting automation is fundamentally the wrong way to do it anyway. Until the automation is reliable to not need human supervision, it should be the other way around: the automation monitoring the human to provide an extra safety net, so that the human has to be actively driving and alert rather than getting bored and not monitoring the automation properly.

Surely at 915MHz, it would be a milliwave oven?

Because the people with the skillsets to do these things want to live in California. Places that are nice tend to be expensive because there is high demand to live there, good old supply and demand at work. Places that are cheap tend to be cheap because they aren't all that desirable.

Engineers that can command good pay probably don't want to live in mosquito infested places full of religious fundies such as Alabama. They probably don't want to live in the flyover states where there's no coast and fewer fun things to do during your time off. So if you want to attract the talent, you have to locate where the talent wants to live. The talent wants to live in California, not some bug ridden swamp full of fundies.
