At +- 100-200 Calories( really kilocalories)and less than 2000, preferably less than 1800 (at normal activity levels), Insulin levels play a bigger role than total calories. Insulin is a hormone and in addition to promoting cells to burn glucose, at high level it promotes cells to convert glucose to fat.

There is a decided link to promoting eating more sugar and starch and the US population turning fat.

Easy. You call up the US vendor that sold China their Great Firewall and order another one. This one will be cheap, considering the UK's population is a fraction that of China.

Already done: TalkTalk (arguably the UK's worst ISP in general, as well as being the first to jump on the government's bandwagon) spent many millions of pounds (described in a related court case as "an eight figure sum") importing a horribly flawed censorship system from Huawei, which is one of the Chinese manufacturers of part of the Great Firewall.

A few principled UK ISPs are standing up to censorship, and still offering unfiltered services - though I do fear Cameron will attack them for it now: like most bullies, he can't handle criticism or opposition.

...who immediately thought of Harry Harrison's "I Always Do What Teddy Says"?

471 million potatos is a lot of potatos.
471 million .2mm bits of plastic is enough to cover in plastic all of the living rooms in California.
Wait - no - one living room. Or about a dinner-plates worth a day.

Every day. That's the difference.

Even assuming that it's a dinner plate sized amount of pollution, over two decades, you are looking at 7300 dinner plates. Only, broken into little chunks, easily consumed by aquatic life and smothering plants, clogging pipes etc.

Edge, as in, backbone, edge, and access. Infrastructure folks frequently talk about the edge. Look it up.

And Tech Crunch has a better description of their offering: Druva Wants To Make Backup Tape History By Moving Server Backup To Cloud

I have had a Zenfone2 for over a month now. I am at about 50% after 16 hours with moderate usage- checking email connected to Zenwatch, streaming music for a few hours, and checking a few websites through out the day, and play a few games.

Everything feels smooth and no lag anywhere. While I have heard of some folks with applications not working on an Atom, I have not experienced any issues. Hulu, Netflix, Youtube all play smooth and cast to my Chromecast fine. Games play fantastic.

Overall it has been a very nice phone and I am more pleased with it than my prior Nexus 5.

Because these businesses have no competition that will underprice them by a bit and take all their customers?

You can tinker a little with the law of supply and demand, like this would, but you can't repeal it altogether.

To be fair, eventually that $15 won't have the same buying power, just as the $1.60 per hour 1968 Federal Minimum Wage no longer has the buying power it did back then (4 to 5 gallons of gas or packs of cigarettes, or 16 soft drinks or candy bars, or 10 comic books, or 2 paperback books, or a fast food meal for 2, or movie tickets for 2, etc.)

But that's eventually, not instantaneously, and in the meantime, it can do some good and stimulate local economies.

Wasn't it an economist who said something like "In the long term, we're all dead."?

It would most likely have some influence on my thinking about him and about the regard in which his party held him then and later.

Did they also sacrifice Goldwater to Johnson to pave the way for the return of Nixon?

In fairness, the point is made that the price is printed on the cover so he can't exceed that.

There's a comic book store up there, or maybe it's in San Francisco, that's complaining, but another way of looking at it is that there are actually too many comic book stores in the area for the demand and that the workers have been subsidizing the customers before now.

I'm not saying the store owner might not have an actual problem, but apparently he's not anticipating any increase in demand for his merchandise despite more people in the community having more money available to spend.

If your store is easier for someone to get to than is Wal-Mart or the like, or they like the service better than waiting half an hour for an "associate" to happen by, maybe with that extra per hour in their pockets some of these people will decide it's worth it to go to your place instead and spend the time saved with the family they see so little of because of working all the time.

People on the low end of the pay scales who get extra money spend it, which boosts the local economy, which means more jobs as more staff are hired to handle the increased business, which means even more spending which boosts the local economy which means more jobs....

It's why massive borrowing at near zero interest rates to spend on massive amounts of infrastructure repair and creation would actually be a good idea, because more people would have paychecks to spend locally.

Did they let Reagan in on that when he was running in '76?

Or just keep him in the dark?

Now where would the entertainment value in that be?
