Sheesh. What does it take? Isn't it enough that conservatives have historically opposed right for both those groups? If not, why don't you come to where I live in the not-so-deep South and I can fucking introduce you to proud republicans who oppose both.
Not all republicans are racist misogynists, but pretty much everyone I've met who is racist or misogynist is a republican.
Spotify didn't make "selling music online" popular, because when you use Spotify, you aren't "buying" anything. You are essentially paying money to listen to the 2016 equivalent of FM radio. The music isn't yours when if can be gone any time they want it to be.
Flip it around. Has our policy of embargo and detachment helped any of those people? How many "prisoners of conscience" does China hold? Is Cruz proposing we embargo them too? I doubt it.
I'm not sure if opening relations with Cuba will fix it. But we know that China is more open now than it was. At least it's worth trying.
Um. If there is a tie, then they will work it out. The superdelegates are the way it's worked out. Frankly, in a tie, I would think it would be appropriate for the party to have a say in picking Clinton. I like Sanders, but he's really not a Democat anyway.
People make a lot of noise over the superdelegates, but in reality, Clinton could have used them in 2008. She didn't because the superdelegates saw that Obama had more votes and support and they almost all switched to him.
I live in the relatively gentle climate of the southern United States. Yet if you dump me outside in February with no house, no clothes and no tools, and I would be dead in a day. Most of this planet is a hostile environment that we have to use our brains and tools to survive in. Mars would be harder, but not essentially different.
Since you can't copyright game mechanics, what's the significance of this. I made a board game for students to learn social studies and ripped off everything from Catan to Shogun to Diplomacy.
In reality though, most of the planet is inhospitable, except for a small portion of Africa where we evolved, and even that is no cakewalk.
As physicist David Deutsch says, you could drop most of us into the environment where we live, with no advances to keep us alive, like clothes, fire, houses and iPhones, and even most friendly climates like the Southeast US where I live would kill me during winter.
We rely on a lot of knowledge-based technology to keep us alive here on Earth. I don't know that it would be much different to keep us alive on Mars or some other planet. We would just grow used to those technologies as "normal."
I'm a bit confused. I thought the reason for the barge was because it was pretty far downrange. If they are launching from the Cape and then landing the first stage there too, won't that be a pretty massive turnaround for the first stage? Of course maybe that's why they are going with the "full power" mode.
My understanding is that eventually they plan to launch from Texas and land the first stage at the Cape. Is this still what they are saying?
Exactly.
The great thing about Chromebooks in education is that students don't have to use the same device every time. Their desktop, apps, favorites and history follow them around depending on which device they are logged in on. It's a freaking feature, not a bug.
Exactly. In our district, we have a BYOD program, but if kids bring their own Chromebook, it is THEIR Chromebook. It's merely subject to our filters when it's connected to our network.
On point!
Chromebooks have finally allowed us to get devices in the hands of kids on a regular basis. As an education technology guy, I am FINALLY seeing kids have access to do cool projects and get information that goes beyond their textbooks.
Sounds great! Are you going to come to my school district and help me teach the teachers and kids to do all of that? Are you going to help my network guys keep a network secure in which every kid is given the freedom tinker and hack into everything? Are you going to do all that work for free? Are you bringing friends?
Look, I agree that we need more computer literate individuals, but we don't have that now and we don't have the money to do it. I would rather be able to give kids a cheap device they can use to do lots of cool, creative things and access a pretty good variety of materials on a network that stays safe and doesn't crash all the time.
As the poster above said. Google and all the others need to improve their privacy, but for now, it's a trade off we in education have to live with.
Except that's exactly how Bezos is selling it to an uncritical and science-ignorant media. He's playing up the 'we beat Musk' angle intentionally, and the media is eating it up.
Exactly! I've been waiting on that thing for years. They keep talking about ending malaria with it. That's fine. I'll even pay $100 instead of $50 to donate one unit to Africa. Just set the blasted thing up in my backyard.
Everything is relative. For three years until last week, Cable and AT&T refused to extend service to me. My only option was an average $100 a month ~3-5 Mbps from Verizon with a 10 GB monthly cap. And I was glad to have it.
I'm pretty sure that an AI car is never going to "freak out." The worst it might do is slow the heck down, which you, the person following, should be ready for anyway.

Pretty sure Gandhi realized that.

Agreed. I'm in the same boat. They work and work well.

Are you referring to being able to use Google Docs while offline. Because you can do that.

As someone who lives 30 minutes outside Charlotte and is subsisting on 3Mbps AT&T UVerse, let me express my good-natured envy and hatred of you.
Everything is relative. For three years until last week, Cable and AT&T refused to extend service to me. My only option was an average $100 a month ~3-5 Mbps from Verizon with a 10 GB monthly cap. And I was glad to have it.
I'm certain these are questions that none of the incredibly smart people working on autonomous cars have thought of.
I'm pretty sure that an AI car is never going to "freak out." The worst it might do is slow the heck down, which you, the person following, should be ready for anyway.
You are trolling, you trolly troll.
You aren't reading the summary correctly. It's not 4 out of 48. Only two of the four crashes happened when the car was under computer control.
No, you need to be out of jail in public so you can continue to make statements that show very clearly what a fuckwit you are.
