I guess the question is does laptop imply a physical keyboard

Yes. https://www.google.com/search?...

or merely a size and the ability to type even if it is a virtual keyboard that has relocated the typing surface to the screen?

No. https://www.google.com/search?...

Modern container ships still can only deliver to industrial scale ports and places well connected to said ports.

Universities were able to extract more money from students because of loans, and used that money to hire more administrators who did not help improve student performance in any way. That's why cost has gone up - because they had more money to throw around, they hired more paper pushers who don't actually help with anything. Not the other way around as you seem to think. If that one link isn't enough to convince you, take your pick.

He's right, you're wrong.

https://www.google.com/search?...

Google is actually very clear about what it knows about you via Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/...

TL;DR make sure you set a sync password and Google won't be able to read anything the browser syncs, and if you use search suggestions and safe browsing be aware of what that requires being sent to the server.

Meanwhile you are going to be out voted by hordes flying the flag of the traitors. They will also mark you an enemy because anyone who is not 100% them is their enemy.

Someday you will realize, for all their faults, the Democrats are an order of magnitude better than the Republicans. Not saying the Democrats are great or ideal. They fall short of ideal by an order of magnitude too. But way better than Republicans.

""The bill asks the federal government to set aside $20 million in funding for organizations to use to look at the types of benefits programs individual workers could take with them from job to job."

look at the types of benefits programs? For fucks sake, can we please just have Medicare for All already and a proper safety net? We don't need exploratory committees. We already know what works and what doesn't.

political correctness took over academia

Not in the college of mathematics and sciences, at least not yet.

Oh, that's a target now too.

Google search for "math is too white"

Scary shit there. They're going full retard - just like the other AC accuses. Methinks he's projecting.

In five minutes with Google search I learned that drone control signals are digitally encrypted,

And I found otherwise.

so how are you coming to the conclusion that my opinion is in error

You didn't express an opinion, you made a statement of fact. This is about encryption and backdoors. No, it isn't.

setting a legal precedent by getting a smaller company to do as I say would be a great and powerful first step towards geting a Judge to force a larger company (like Apple) to do as I say.

They don't have to do as you say.

No cable, TV for news and other stuff, Netflix for series, Internet, and that's it. BTW, I've created this Android app to find out which TV stations are available around you: https://play.google.com/store/...

A Mercury capsule was about 3000 lbs. (google search) So, yes, it could.

Since the death of Google Reader my most used case of RSS is podcasts. I get the occasional feed notification from IFTTT but most of the websites I used to get RSS from just have direct channels that are a little better and a little easier.

But podcasts however I listen to a fair number of podcasts and I have about 30-40 of them in my reader (Podcast Addict). I'd like a readable JSON format for syndication but if it's going to mess with my podcasts I won't bother.

I know plenty of history. Well, there's a lot of it, and it keeps growing, but it's always good to know more. And the scientific body of knowledge (and people in general) were fucking terrible back in the 1800's. And they were worse in the 1400's. And WORSER in the 400's. But thricely I say unto thee, it's gotten better.

But yes, as far as institutions that I trust, the various science institutions on the whole are right up there. Because the institutions are run by scientists who search for the truth and enjoy being less wrong and calling bullshit on others. There's plenty of science institutions I don't trust. Like those start-up for-profit open journals. They're just scams. They don't actually peer review anything. But there are plenty of good scientific journals out there filled with people doing their job. Mostly. Reproducibility is a growing concern. Academia, for all it's faults, still does a damn good job of supporting the truth as a pillar of society. I also like the FDA and USDA having consumed food outside of the USA. And I trust the IRS will come find me and flog me if I just don't pay my taxes like I trust foxnews to spin whatever they can in favor of the GOP.

Jesus christ, if you DON'T trust any sort of institution then you might as well be a freaking anarchist/prepper and this whole "society" thing just isn't for you. Because what's the alternative? Distrusting ALL governments, organizations, religions, and companies? Only getting your worldly insight from +5 modded slashdot posts? That doesn't seem.... mentally healthy.

If you're advocating for only trusting... I dunno... "young things" because they "start out with good intentions" then you have to look at the recent rise of new political movements, tech start-ups, the brand-spanking new governments of Iraq and ISIS, those for-profit journals I mentioned, and the relatively new corporation of Facebook. ...ick.

But no, the REASON I trust old institutions of science is because they are, by the very roots of the scientific process, open to change when a better way presents itself. Things keep getting better for humanity. Keep up with the times or, like you said, become corrupted. Same thing with the USA. For all it's faults, it's founders went to a lot of work to give us the tools to make it better.

I'm not really into comic books, can you explain the relation to DC comics?

Comic book sales waaaay down recently.

And it corresponds directly to the SJW takeover of comics.

"B-b-b-but that ain't why!" scream the SJWs.

Which must be why Stan Lee and Marvel Comics have told the SJWs to pound sand.

Just look at Google. Terrifying, just terrifying.

The one who is very dim is you.

In the absence of GPS you have not much ways to define where you are and where you want to go to.

So the "navigators" agreed on an international standard. I actually gave some links, why you are to dumb to read them is beyond me. So I give you a new one: https://www.google.com/search?...

Do you wonder why those pictures all look the same? And are not randomly rotated? Hu?

I guess you don't. So I explain it to you. That are pictures, and maps look the same, where north is up, south is down, east is right and west is left. That is the "standard" for maps, but it helps to check the "legend", some times maps are not orientated "north up"

Or if you you simply are really to dump to grasp it: north is along the 0 meridian. South is along the 180 meridian and west is along the 90 degrees west meridian and east is along the 90 degrees east meridian.

If you find a better way to navigate in the Antarctics or Arctics you are free to propose it to the naval and air travel standard institutes.

And now get of my lawns, idiot.

turn Manhattan into a new Venice

On the plus side, at least significant portions of Manhattan are build on solid bedrock. Venice, not so much: most of those buildings have a foundation of timber piles...driven into clay...in a lagoon.

On that subject, writer Kim Stanley Robinson has a new book about a Venice-like NYC. Here is an overview and interview with the author.

For me it is. I installed it yesterday (because I got fed up with some Windows 10 policies). I went with Ubuntu 17.04. First thing I wanted to do was install Chrome because that's what I'm used to using. But when I tried to install it, it didn't install. I don't know why. I'm sure I'll figure it out with enough time spent on it because I'm fairly tech savvy (or just stick with Firefox) but I don't think the average person would be able to deal with stuff like this. It's not ready for the desktop.

I typed this into a browser: google.com/chrome/ There was a download link to get chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/... The only difference here is using a .deb or .rpm file for Linux instead of a .msi or .exe file for Windows Once it's installed it will get updates via apt if you're on ubuntu

It was not "bombing tarmac".

An amusing thing is how many people are searching for "impeach" on google:

Don't look at it as population numbers alone, but as energy used and pollution produced per person. The U.S.A. is a problem.

I agree that the US is an energy pig, but there are two counter points:

There's a hell of alot more counter points than that. Only 7% of our energy usage is residential: https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...

So per capita isn't even a great measure. We have a huge GDP with alot of industry, which equates to a great deal of energy usage. If you take GDP into account, the US ranks somewhere around Canada in terms of efficiency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ratio_of_GDP_to_carbon_dioxide_emissions). Both India and China have tremendously poor efficiency ratings at the bottom of the list.

So the US isn't a beacon of efficiency being mid-pack, but not nearly as bad as the usual "5% of the population causing 15% of emissions". It's more like 25% of the world's total industry is causing 15% of emissions: https://www.google.com/search?...

Considering the fact the vast majority of the world's industry is in the US, EU, and China, it is no surprise they're the top 3 carbon emitters: https://wri.org/blog/2014/11/6...

Actually, yes you can. Google delivers food to my house quite often. Although it is mostly non perishable but they do deliver bread and other edibles.

I have an idea. Every patent that has been granted in the last 20 years that is not actively being used should be forced to go up for auction. I'm guessing a trillion or two would come flying out of tax havens...

Probably not. Most patents don't last anywhere near the full 20 years, because the USPTO (as well as foreign patent offices) charge "maintenance fees" or "annuity fees" that increase throughout the lifetime of the patent. Fail to pay those, and the patent goes abandoned. In the US, those fees go up to $7400. In Europe, it's $787.50 Euros... annually. Pay all the fees through the full 20 year term, and you're spending an additional $20-30k on the patent - so, for Apple, with their 56 patents, that's potentially $100-150k for just this set.

Instead, most companies prune their patents, and let the ones that have become obsolete go abandoned. In the US, most patents last around 12 years.
