I don't understand the need for this at all. Those who want an open ecosystem are free to use android phones and side load the apps there. If you want the closed ecosystem, then use apple. One thing I do like about the apple App Store is that it has better platform security and better information about what apps are tracking me.

This is about other wallet apps being able to access the NFC chip to make payments through it. The first question is, in the states would always be: is Apple a monopoly? Then the next would be are they bundling to prevent competitors out. I am not sure if in Europe they would be asking the same sets of questions...

I questions where these guys get their data. Tmobile essential plan is 30 per month and you can get even cheaper MVNO plans. Secondly, are they comparing similar plans? I have tmobile magenta and get Global data roaming free.

VW is practically bankrupt as a state. VW has been cutting teacher salaries for years, and in 2018 this hit a tipping point of where they had a strike. This is nothing more than VW trying to pass the monetary buck of teaching kids to corporations rather than hiring new teachers who know the material and can teach kids.

Putting too many warning labels has the habit of making people numb to actual dangers and warning labels.

VW was not given a free pass by any means. VW cheated. Even with a larger budget you might not have caught this.

I believe this to allow for a new position at the company to open up. This way they nurture a new head vp of design while retaining ive to do what he does best

See this is where I disagree. Men only have two hands, and can only wear one watch. I can tell you that even the richest of people use an Iphone (or android) since there is no other equivalent cell phone of greater technical capability.

If the apple watch promises to give back time to the wearer through its ease of use, and subsequently becomes a replacement for the daily watch, this will infact very well cause huge pressures on the swiss watch industry.

Why is this marked insightful? Economics, Anthropology, and Psychology all have testable methodologies.

Actually there is a lot to the geometry of creating the right explosions around a fissile material in order to compress the enriched core to become super critical.

In addition, the more difficult aspect is purifying the uranium and/or getting enough fissile material.

Actually as a private orginization they can do this. Take a look at augusta national golf club. Until about 10 years ago, they didn't even have women and blacks were admitted only 20 years ago.

I think what this entire debate is ignoring is the fact that indian usage of power correlates directly with how hot it gets.

The area of concern gets to 40C during the summer time, and with air conditioners running at full blast, its eats up a lot of power.

My bigger worry is that despite everything, a lot of the planning and monies dedicated for this project will get eaten through the pipeline.

The only power capacity India has really added in the past few years to the grid,except for individual gen-sets, is wind power. India has not been able to really add large power plants due to one faction, protest, or corruption...

They arrest this guy on money laundering, but let HSBC http://www.bloomberg.com/news/... off the hook.

Land rovers are notorious for breaking down. If you look at any reliability data for cars, land rovers consistently rank at or near the bottom. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/02/land-rover-and-jd-power/

My argument is the treasury didn't have to sell and take a loss. They could have left the stock on its balance sheet as stock.

The whole point of the bailout was to prevent a systemic collapse of the US economy. A GM failure would have probably caused losses upwards of 105 billion dollars of lost tax revenue (http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/09/news/companies/gm-bailout-stock-sale/), which is paltry in context of the direct loss of 10 Billion.

The treasury would have had to sold it at 53 USD to break even on the stock. Today's price is around 41 USD. I don't think it would be unusual to see a move closer to 53, as long there is no major calamity in the general economy or through the performance of GM.
