They always like to say "located in Berkeley" because it gives the impression that they're somehow leftist and edgy. They are neither of those things. They're an advocacy group for nuclear energy.
I'm not anti-nuclear, by the way. I just tend to be suspicious when an advocacy group goes to such lengths to pretend they're something else.
Some jackass over on the "Defecting From the Grid" story is squawking about Al Gore (because, like, Al Gore) and how trivially easy it is to deliver power via "clean coal", and how solar is too complicated and prone to failure.
Unlike the actually-unreliable solar that requires complex processes to use its power, coal only requires them to clean it (an easy enough task without regulations designed primarily to kill coal)...
Korean Air is offering deep discounts to Americans who want to bring their overweight pets along on vacation, along with free copies of "100 Ways to Wok Your Dog".
Yes, let's get Facebook to where it needs to be: an all-white safe haven where those nasty coloured people will be summarily ejected if they don't toe the line.
I wouldn't call either a leader. There are more Saudi princes rattling around than Washington lobbyists. And John Glen was never president, or even highly ranked in his party.
For every billionaire on the Democratic Party's side, there are a dozen backing the Republicans. Not to mention that the Koch Brothers have contributed more to right wing causes than all three of the people you mention added together. And Fox News, right wing radio and a whole raft of conservative media vastly outnumber the few openly left wing media outlets. For that matter, the right wing bias stays just about the same even if you include hard news media that strive for accuracy. Accuracy, of course, doesn't favour conservatives.
But don't let little things like facts and common sense get in the way of playing the victim card. Conservatives do that so very, very well!
Bezos tweeted that he'd save a seat for Trump on his Blue Origin spacecraft...
Trump's repeated failure to inform himself even slightly about the topics he involves himself in has so far cost him nothing.
Let's up the ante a little.
Offer Trump a place in history as the first political leader ever to take a trip into space. Offer him the choice of two tickets, both free: one would feature cramped quarters and extremely basic food for an extended trip, the other, the special "QV Laika Ticket", would feature luxurious accommodations for a considerably shorter, hotter trip.
Let him choose whichever one he likes. Since Trump has doubtless heard the term QV before, we can hope he makes the right choice.
...Not unnaturally, many elevators imbued with intelligence and precognition became terribly frustrated with the mindless business of going up and down, up and down...
This would explain the oft-repeated adage: "A stiff dick has no brain."
I guess it's time average Americans made a choice: are they so spoiled they'll be fobbed off with a minor, temporary improvement (table service) in return for what will doubtless turn into massive job losses at the entry and desperation level, or will they just not use these things after the novelty wears off?
There's no doubt that if this experiment is successful, such kiosks will cut into staffing levels. The jobs they replace are typically first jobs and those held by retirement-age people who have no choice but to keep working...because even though the economy has tripled in size, wages have stagnated and pensions are now almost unheard of.

People who spend their lives with their head crammed up their fundament often miss a lot.
Just sayin'.
By using the one, you're going to wind up using the other...or being used by it.
"You could always try not using Google if you're that worried."
Yeah, there's so many search engines out there in the same league.
Weird, huh!
Fortunately, nobody has missed the bit about you being a supercilious asshole.
Because they love Love LOVE you!
I had a Picasa account. When Google offered to "migrate" my photos, I took them down and closed it...even before the axe fell.

Oopsie!
Never let it be said that you let a lie or two get in the way of a good story.
Is there anything at all about this "feature" that doesn't seem at best creepy and intrusive?
...than the people writing the malware?

We have this thing called "sarcasm".
You should look into it.

No, that would be the person sucking off the dog in the corner...and that would be you.
Well played, Sir!
1. Get a nice sound system and a big tent. Head down to the southern US and hold a revival meeting.
2. Claim The Lord is going to put out the Sun if they don't pray hard and give me a lot of money.
3. Profit!
Stop riding pogo stick to work.
