I find it baffling that Android and iOS still have bugs related to the device's orientation. How hard can it be to just nail something that has 1 out of 4 possible values?
All we have to do now is combine this with artificial wombs and automate the whole thing in seed ships spreading humanity to neighboring stars...
The only question is who raises the newborns in the seed ship. How many adults do we need to have around? Perhaps a generational with only half a dozen people at any given time but that can spawn thousands once it arrives at the chosen destination.
I can't be the first to think of this concept. Can anyone recommend a sci-fi novel that describes a similar idea?
Please make sure not to miss The Expanse if you're looking for proper Sci-Fi. It's literally the best show you're not watching:

So if there's no value-add (...) for the media companies
Takes a bit longer to crack, and pirating become less trivial / useful so it does deter a few users on the margin therefore the value isn't exactly zero.
Funny thing is, The Big Short was a great movie up until it started preaching on how greed led to the so-called collapse of the financial system.
Here's the thing, the subprime mortgage crisis wasn't caused because bankers were greedy. I can think of at least three parties to blame before them:
1. credit agencies, who effectively defrauded everyone by assigning AAA rating to junk securities, when their sole job is to assess the risk of a security and slap a sticker on it warning investors
2. realtors, who sold mortgages to people who really couldn't afford them
3. people, who bought mortgages they really couldn't afford (think of the stripper who had 5 condos in the movie)
Bankers were investing the money of their clients to get a return. That's what they are *supposed* to do. Yet everyone blames them because it's so much easier to say "BOO CAPITALISM!" and have a bigger target to fear than to admit that we brought this whole thing onto ourselves.
in the fact that an international drug smuggler wants to appeal his conviction by arguing that Yahoo! "broke the law".
I understand the legal reasoning behind it, but if it were Hollywood, not real life, his request would most likely be met with a punch to the face marking the end of the scene.
...especially relative to other services I tried - and certainly 1000x better than the experiences I had with other providers.

Thank you for taking the words out of my mouth and turning my intended incoherent babble into such a well written rebuttal of the claim in question. You, sir, have the gift of communication.
Oh, shut up already. Not everyone is a 45-year-old neckbeard troll living in their mom's basement with greasy Doritos hands and Mountain Dew stains on their shirts.
I know and like my friends since before they joined Facebook. It's outrageously unreasonable to suggest that I ditch them now because they have an account on a website. Surely they don't expect them to judge me on having an account on/.
Facebook allows us to communicate on some aspects of our lives, perhaps today most commonly through sharing pictures, much as people used to do with postcards and snail mail. It isn't meant to replace face-to-face conversations. There may be something to be said about people who exclusively rely on Facebook, or who share TMI. But instead of ranting aimlessly like an old fart, I just unsubscribe to their feed.
Not everyone can afford or is willing to end friendships based on social network memberships. Facebook's success in particular and the emergence of so many networks in general are evidences to that. Your dogmatic view on social relationships is neither correct nor necessary nor relevant nor required.
The people ITT comparing the Surface Pro 3 to an iPad have got it completely wrong. The Surface competes against the Air, as a lightweight, full blown computer. The fact that it can detatch its keyboard and work with touch-only is an extra, but it is not how Surface owners spend the majority of their time.

Thank you!! I daydream of turning this into a video game one day so I will definitely read all of those

I'm 90% sure you're either very drunk or having a stroke. In either case, you might want to call a doctor...

I'm amazed that you managed to type so much and yet effectively say nothing.
Then explain why it's market cap was not the price of a piece of useless shit. Or are we supposed to take your word as gospel?

*slow clap* you win the Internet today, sir
Annual revenue for those companies averages in excess of $50B each (...)
So, they're spending an average of 0.016% of their income on lobbying.
Revenue and income are different things.
I prefer to have a visual marker that block is closed. You know, like a dot at the end of the sentence.
Or, you know, like indentation.
