Probably the classic reason: corruption and fraud.
I've got a better one for you: a certain piece of 11kV switchgear has little M10 steel bolts attaching the cable box cover. If you turn them too quickly with the cover under tension the steel heats up through friction and welds the fucking screw into the thread.
The latest version uses M13 and I think the problem has been mitigated a bit, but I'm sure it can still happen, and there's a metric shit ton of the old stuff out in the wild.
All full of SF6 as well, which is a very cool (I really want to inhale some and sound like Darth Vader) but also really bad greenhouse gas (20x worse than CO2), and with so much out there inevitably some of it leaks (with a 20 year time delay from a leak to the gas reaching the upper atmosphere), but we can't be having switchgear taking up more space and commercial enterprise profits diminishing to cover it so we just continue our global exponential growth in use of the stuff.
Get an early night, start the new year fresh.
Such bullshit. McKinsey weren't only helping push opiods, but they literally had the same advisors working with Purdue that were working with the FDA, and they explicitly sold it to Purdue that they would be able to help them get around the FDA to push the drug all over.
It is entirely a google thing. Reddit might've helped google hide its limp as it was declining, but it's google that encouraged websites to write blog spam for SEO, by their very creation of their SEO algorithm. Google has indirectly shaped the internet in this manner.
I remember crunching the numbers with Kagi a couple months ago and most of their plans aren't worth it, not unless you actually use it at the specified amount. However maybe the packages have changed now, I remember it being something like $5 for 300, $10 for 700 and $27 for unlimited.
It also doesn't block you when you run out of free searches when you have a package, instead they charge you like 2c per search. So you have to carefully feather your usage to maintain the value - don't use it enough and the cost per use is high, use it over your limit and the cost per use is high. Frankly, I don't want all that hassle, particularly with something I'm paying for.
With your new numbers, the $5 package is 1.67c per search, and you'd need to more than 600 searches for the $10 package to beat that rate. However, assuming 2c per search after your 300 in the $5 package, you would hit $10 after 550 searches. So, if the 2c per search is correct, you should upgrade to the $10 unlimited plan only if you're doing more than 550 searches.
The data brokerage industry is a multi-trillion dollar industry. And yet, there are only 8 billion people in the world, many of whom do not have internet access or if they do have very little data being traded. This means the average person's data is worth in the order of $1,000 per year.
Given that these companies don't actually do anything with the data, they just trade it, I think a reasonably excessive markup would be 30-50%. This means that $500-700 is being stolen from you every single year.
Every year, they're stealing a brand new TV from you.
Wasn't this mentioned immediately in response to her decision?
I kept waiting for the dog to win, at least once :(
Ooooo who is the provider then? They're quoted in the article but not named.
The popular support and votes isn't all that forthcoming, though, if it were there wouldn't be such a crackdown on Israeli dissent.
Horrific descriptions, but ultimately almost all Israel presents as evidence is descriptions. Along with the excuse that they were too busy to collect evidence - this coming from a country with one of the top intelligence communities in the world.
