Ehh?? I just reboot it once a every 2 months or so and let it do its thing with the updates. I have written a tiny 'cron job' to run updates on a fixed schedule of my choosing. Took me all of 10 minutes (basically just a toggle of a GPO called 'Turn off Access to all Windows Update Features' ). Its pretty much the same on any OS. You can choose when you want the updates installed. Jesus.. Is this still a technical website? Or are you people really really dumb?

I do this all day long as a lucrative hobby.

This is also iOS 10.2, with Uber updated to the latest version.

Where are you trying to view settings? I'm going in through Settings, scrolling down to Uber, then in the Uber settings selecting "Location" to go to location settings. It has all three options (Never/While/Always), I have While selected and have for quite some time...

Interesting claim. Can you please indicate where one selects "While Using" in the settings here:

Once they start mass production the cost will fall. When considering the cost, you have to factor in labour costs and the cost of closing the road for the time required to resurface it too, and how long the road surface will last, and what the on-going maintenance costs are.

And in the meantime, putting the solar panels *beside the road* (*) is still cheaper, more energy efficient and their installation is a tiny bit less invasive to traffic.

--

(*) : like roofing over a bike path, on the roof of noise barriers, or simply along the road, etc. I.e.: places where the surface also belongs to the department of public roads, but where the panels are much more efficient by being better oriented and not shadowed by the traffic, where aren't subject to constant wear and tear by said traffic, and thus won't need tons of engineering to come up with a solution that could protect tham (like TFA's silicon layer).

Looks like someone set up a nice little trap and caught them deleting posts mentioning this.

After this story hit the front page, Dropbox quietly killed off some of the links it points to (go figure).

The original feature request along with all its comments up until it was squashed has been faithfully recreated.

Here's the coast guard comment, and a snapshot of the Top 10 list as it appeared Friday afternoon.

Sorry, not feeling it. There are two complaints about how superdelegates threw the election.

And I'm not feeling it on your position. You're just whining that Bernie didn't win, and looking to assign blame, regardless of logical consistency.

Further, heads I win, tails you lose is the superdelegate game. Non-establishment candidates have a huge vote portion that they're going to have a very hard time winning.

Yes, that's the point of superdelegates, you admit it. So it's bullshit to complain that the superdelegates didn't throw the election to Bernie when complaining about superdelegates.

And the obvious rebuttal is that you can say the above as well no matter who wins.

That's not a rebuttal. That's reinforcing what I'm saying. Hindsight is 20/20. We can always play "what ifs", but it is speculation.

But Sanders doesn't have a 40 year history of skullduggery; doesn't have ongoing pay for play with several hundred million dollars put in; didn't show felony-grade "extreme carelessness" about national security; isn't an extremely unlikable candidate; etc.

The problem with Sanders was that he was a self-described socialist. It's the extreme wing candidate that appeals to the base but tends to turn off the middle of the country. He was also a career politician with no business experience. And he looked whimpy.

What proof would you require exactly? Video footage of Putin personally typing at a keyboard with shots of the screen showing access to the DNC servers? What would be sufficient?

I'm not saying that I know one way or another but I want to know what it would take to convince you that the Russians were involved.

I did some digging on the interwebs looking for the real tech behind Magic Leap, surprisingly, I found that they actually do have the key people who invented core pieces of technology, when put together results in a high resolution high frame rare light field display, in other words, digital holography movies where your eye or any camera can actually focus on the near and far objects in a display.

Start by googling the keywords "scanning fiber technology", follow the trail of clues from there and you will quickly realize the tech they have is real and it works. I'll just list a few clues below:
* Scanning Fiber Endoscope, Eric Seibel, Ph.D. 2013, https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
    But this is a camera not a display! Yes, the scanning fiber tech works both ways, you can put light sensors or light sources on the other end
* Eric Seibel - Research Professor at University of Washington's Department of Bioengineering, http://www.me.washington.edu/r...
    Check out his selected publications on "New displays are a fiber scanned microdisplay and a true 3D display that mimics the natural conditions of depth perception by adding both accommodative cues as well as stereographic cues." first author is Schowengerdt, B.T. who now works for Magic Leap.

Hmmm, really makes you think.

Or just take the foreign feminine part out!

I have never seen an airplane door open inwards. you have to slightly pull on itand then push it outwards pretty hard. that part where you pull does not move the door at all, and is what you use to disengage the lock. you then open the door outwards and to the side. the door is then on the side, the outer side, of the plane. I've taken over 2000 flights in my lifetime. have you been on a plane? you modded up a troll.

I take it you've never actually seen one open. Or read the instructions on how to open an emergency door. Google "plug door". All aircraft cabin doors need to open inwards first, even if they use a complex hinge to open outwards (the exit doors). The inability to open aircraft cabin doors during flight has been an engineering consideration long before it was a regulation.

BTW, with the emergency doors, you have to pull them completely inside the cabin, then discard them outside the aircraft... as in this placard I've seen on every emergency seat I've ever sat in.

I've taken over 2000 flights in my lifetime. have you been on a plane? you modded up a troll.

If you've been flying for 20 years, that's one flight every 3.5 days. If you have no clue how aircraft doors work after that long you're either incredibly stupid or lying about flying. If you're going to lie, keep your lies believable.

It was deleted because people were using it to harass people in the real world, some users were even making up stories about unrelated restuarants and posting child pornography to go with those stories.

Not quite true. People there weren't harassing people, nor were they doxing them. There was a non-doxing/harassment rule like on most subs. What's interesting is that members of the /r/pizzagate mod team have claimed that the administration were unbanning people, who were being banned by the subs mods. Those people who were being banned included those who were doxing, and posting CP. On top of this, that subreddit had already broken open a massive CP ring on twitter. Last count ~7000(I've seen numbers as high at 14k) or more accounts. Twitter's response so far has been to ban the people who found the accounts. Some of those CP accounts have been banned but most have not.

This entire thing stinks. On top of that with Spez deciding to pull this bullshit, they've also likely lost their safe harbor provisions. On top of that, toss in the absolutely weird shit in the podesta emails, including wording that seems to indicate some kind of pedophile stuff going on? They may have found something, they might not have. But reddit turning around and banning the sub is going to toss more fuel on the fire.

Who comes up with these product names?

In the literal sense, they are retarded compared to children of similar age 40 years ago. Their grammar and word usage is worse, their punctuation is worse. Their grasp of mathematics is worse. Their knowledge of history is worse. Their cognizance of current events is worse.

Here are charts of A-level performance (national exams taken in the UK at the end of 12th grade) which have shown steady and significant improvements since the 1960s.

I picked A-levels because they've been the same kind of exam for a long time (as opposed to say the 10th grade O-levels which were changed out for GCSEs).

On the subject of maths, my understanding is that calculus used to be a college course, but now it's taught to loads of high school students. Here's another graph showing increased earlier uptake of calculus:

And with 3 AC's I'll pick your stupid comment--and yes it's stupid--as the one to reply to.

So they trust the Net of Lies instead? ROTFLOL. The MSM may not be perfect, but it isn't anything like the alt-right lie fest the Internet has become.

So you're perfectly fine with the mass-media centralization? The reporters who colluded with political campaigns to get them elected(see Clinton). The numbers of ex-reporters in the current US administration, and their spouses who still work for the networks. Or the "big dogs" at the top who have friends and family who work in both. That if I pick up a national newspaper, I'm going to find that same story near word-for-word in a state paper, and a local paper, and a regional paper? That there aren't inherent problems with everyone writing their news based on only a few news feed organizations. Where there is no disclosure.

I'm sure that you also believe that Pepe the frog is a white nationalist symbol, and the right wing death squads are coming to get you. You haven't learned anything that's happened in the last year. Time to get introspective.

ok, I uploaded some pictures of some non-farmed regions of the central valley so you can see:

Summer. The ground is typically dry all summer, but some trees have the endurance to survive until the rainy season.
Winter. The ground is typically wet all winter.
Winter orchard that hasn't been watered for four months. It might have been mowed, though. The ground will usually be mud all winter long from winter rains, and not dry out until April or May. Sometimes it freezes, then the ground is hard, but it thaws when the sun comes out.
Near Shasta more trees are able to survive, but the summer dryness still kills the grass. My hypothesis is they're more likely to get summer rains, making life tolerable for more species of trees, but not often enough for grass.

Owen's valley is a different place than the central valley. During the rainy season, it is too cold for anything to grow, and in the summer it is dry; so overall plants have it harder. Also, a lot of the pictures in your link are of Owens Lake, which is fairly toxic. The water all goes to the Los Angeles district. They're like a giant sponge, soaking up water from the western united states, and always trying to get more. There used to be farms in Owens valley, and if you drive near Manzanar, there is a plaque that says before LA took it, the water would flood the area two feet deep in the springtime, but who knows if that is true.

Incidentally, Owen's Valley can still be quite beautiful.

Here's what we know beyond a shadow of a doubt at this point from Wikileaks and multiple other sources:

Most of the major media colluded with the DNC. They had stories vetted. They discussed strategy. They performed requested "edits". And they strategically portrayed the opposition in a negative light.

That, by any definition, is "fake news". It's not reporting. It's news which has been meticulously crafted to produce a desired opinion.

It's propaganda, to use another generation's term.

Take a look at this list of journalists who should be fired but won't be: http://imgur.com/a/D6DMD

Have they tried disguising their drones as cats?

They were hosting this image which is now illegal in Russia and Little Russia.

They were reporting polls.

Not according to wikileaks. At some point, you need to free yourself from the narrative. The sooner the better.
