These are actually the cards you would produce if you were updating Monopoly to the 21st century. The original Monopoly game was supposed to be a socialist propaganda piece, getting less enjoyable as one person started winning, and it being almost impossible to recover once you start losing.
I bought a Nexus with a 16:10 aspect ratio, thinking exactly what you said. Some apps are nice enough to leave a black bar on the bottom with the home buttons. Other insist on the fullscreen. Worst offender is Hearthstone, which insists on the full 16:10, then puts its major UI where the on-screen navigation exists.. And it pops up all the time by mistake....
Well, HD (1080) video from Netflix is 2.3 - 3.0 GB per hour. If you assume 3 GB/hour, that translates to 4,000 minutes a month. A season of Star Trek is ~1,000 minutes (Orange is the New Black is clocking in ~800). So, I suppose if you're binging a season a week of some show, you hit that data limit without anything else. That's two hours a day, which is a lot, but not beyond unreasonable to the average American. Especially if you are viewing it while commuting/waiting in airports/some other time when its not your primary activity.
By the time someone is convicted, Razor will conveniently forget about any reward money.
I'm pretty sure that the 25K will be sitting in escrow from arrest to conviction. I'm not a lawyer, informant or criminal, but that's usually how such conditional payments are handled in areas of my life where I do have experience, to prevent exactly what you describe.
If it were my prototype laptop, I"d've specced it with not just one but two Kensington slots.
Why? Two cases without the locks - It's not stolen, the locks would have been extra cost and expense; It is stolen, excellent PR. Adding locks is a lose-lose (well, except for the city and expo people working to solve the crime.)
Yeah, but Fahrenheit wasn't based on water at all, so I should have been more explicit that boiling water was only an alternative. Fahrenheit was based on two thermally stable processeses. I believe 0 was a mixture of ammonia and something else?
Also, calibration is pretty trivial. I mean, we have boiling water and that mixture of whatever that came out to 0F... some endothermic reaction. I suppose you may hav eto adjust for atmospheric pressure where it was calibrated, but that seems easy enough.
I mean, Trello has 19 Million users, so that's ~$80 a user. Given that Jira runs $10 a month (plus more for related services), that could be cheap for high quality leads to upsell into Atlassian's ecosystem.
This is an LG TV. Didn't we just get told all LG devices are "smart"? Ransomwear is already a thing on "smart" TVs. Why aren't the display and the driver separated out and connected by a dumb cord?
If anything, I would say we should embrace them sooner than later so that we can voice our opinions and demands now, before the rest of society just takes whatever they're given.
I've spent a lot of time wondering about that issue, and using sites like Facebook in a reasonable manner, and trying to make demands. But ultimately, I don't think it'll matter. Whether you and I opt out of the daddy-corp knows all model, or whether we allow it and... what, insist on restrictions while letting it do whatever... either way, we're a disposable market segment. So, I don't really see that helping. After all, it's not like LG makes decisions by polling current customers.
I really would like it if YouTube's TOS got the same treatment. I don't follow what reuse is allowed of uploaded content, esp. on through channels, e.g. network TV.
how many members of this (ostensibly) "science and tech" news aggregate always seem to be so vehemently against the proliferation of technology into our daily lives.
I'm not against all new technology, but neither do I want technology in all areas of my life. I'm at a loss for why I would want any WiFi on my fridge, or really any appliance.
as someone who enjoys the lightning pace that society is advancing at in the last couple centuries or so, I feel perfectly willing to deal with hiccups along the way.
I feel compelled to point out that society as progressed in some ways, and in other areas "progressed" towards distopian ideas that are currently (and properly) decried as repugnant. The most obvious example of the latter is the "progressive" eugenics programs of the 1930's and 1940's.
It's great that technology advances, but certainly we want some idea of where its going, and how to best use it. For example, technology enabled the concept of a 40-hour-work-week, but it took political action to achieve it.
If they put wifi on everything, it would be ok IF AND ONLY IF it can be disabled and NOT required for operation.
oh, you'll be able to disable it. Except for checking for updates to the FW. And the FW updates will "accidentally" reset your settings. And then eventually remove those (and all) settings.
That's not what the supremacy clause does. It means that a US federal law cannot be countermanded by the states. But the 1st amendment is not a law in that respect (after all, a private company can xyz). It's the 14th Amendment that applies the Bill of Rights to the states.
HTML was supposed to define a page semantically (e.g. header 1). Letting it get crufted up with instructions on how to make it look pretty was a horrible idea (albeit one that came early on). A form should look like a form. No, I don't need whatever new hotness some designer invented with some colorscheme A/B tested to hell and back to try to trick me into clicking the desired button.
Having the compiler check my work 90% of the time would still be nice. But, more importantly, if I know I don't have to check my jr. programmer's work for stray pointers outside an unsafe block, I can spend more time focusing on more useful input. And I can work with them on what the unsafe block should do and how to deal with things in it safely.
I like it when the compiler makes it easy to catch my errors. That's why, for example, I like matching curly braces (detect an error) over the intelligent whitespace in Python. And static typing over dynamic typing.
What business is it of yours what some else at a private company gets paid?
So, I wrote out a lot of negative consequences of extreme income inequality, but I realized that you're probably just going to come back with some absolute economic rights as axiomatic proof that you're correct. In which case, I would say that the Principle/Agent problem leads to the Board of Directors overcompensating C-level officials, where "overcompensating" means beyond what is the financial best interest of the shareholders.
Well, USD are largely valuable because of beliefs, but also because most US real estate has property taxes that must be paid in USD, or the property is taken away. Also, US and State taxes, even on bartered items, must be sent in in USD. Also, gas taxes. And so it goes, and so it goes. Sure, the ultimate value of a currency is faith, but there are real things you can buy from governments in a single currency. And those real things matter.
It's not to save weight. It's to save $0.10 each on 150 million devices. Sure, the 0.03% savings may not be much, but the $15M for eliminating a single USB port is.
Hmm... predicted at 400 days. Given my standard x3 for implementation multiplier (for software, probably should be higher for hardware) for anything that long, I say "years" is probably accurate.
Aren't we just shifting the pollution from coal to the panel production plants and rare-earth mining? What do we do with all these panels at their end-of-life? I presume there is some inclusion of heavy and rare-earth elements in the panels. Where does that go?
Two huge problems. Pulling new rare-earth elements out of the ground (mining) and disposing of excess rare-earth elements (trashing old panels). It's quite probable that you could recycle the materials for a closed loop. Now, it's energy intensive, but that's supposed to be solved by the solar panels that work.

They have been, there are more Monopoly variants than Munchkin variants.
That said, Monopoly is a horrible game, and I don't know why anyone would play it.

I thought a minor child cannot sign a contract, or legally license the IP they generate (cf. copyrights on images), without parental approval.

I thought it was about a couple of professors moving up the tenure track for bringing in a nice chunk of Uber-sponsored research dollars.
