As an evolutionist, engineer, and religious person, I've always found it difficult to reconcile my beliefs. To the point where many would say I am foolish for keeping them. That being said, of the problems with interpreting Genesis, Stars being in the atmosphere has never been one of them. I don't know what you are reading that led you to that.
It is fun to watch evolution in action. I.D. and Creationism are dying out by generation, as few people with evolutionist parents accept anything but evolution, and many that have parents that are I.D. or Creationists still only accept evolution. Mostly because, to them, evolution is far more elegant and fits the observations, while Creationism doesn't and I.D. only deals with unobservable and untestable.
This might be one of the greatest arguments for the process of evolution, but by the time it becomes convincing to the fundamentalist and die-hard I.D.ers, there may no longer be the need to make that argument as the next generation would be so overwhelmingly against such anti-science.
Any app developers out there? If it is anything like Android, any app with sufficient privileges can send the phone's unique identifier to a server to be stored. Whether it be the hash looking thing for the phone itself, or the phone number for that account.
I don't know what you are arguing. You disagree that it isn't comfortable, right after saying you do the things that I suggested you do to make it comfortable. You must he reading every other sentence, or have problems tying ideas together.
The problem isn't whether your generator has enough power, almost all RVs have enough power. The problem is running a gas powered motor for most of the day, every day, at ~4$/gallon.
I'm seeing a lot of posts like these, so I'm thinking there is something wrong with the groupthink's reading comprehension. He said geeks from those respective companies, not geek users. He means, release personal information of the engineers and other technical people designing/building/testing these devices. They will be fighting as hard as anyone, but from the inside.
And avoid states where fireants are prolific. Nothing will ruin your day faster than fireants in your bed. They come in through cracks around the wheel wells, and are notoriously bad in areas where campers tend to be.
Only stay at places with shower facilities. RV'ing can be fun, but without some comforts like the ability to take long/hot showers, it will always feel like a small step above camping.
Not something you will want to do for several years. And find places with electrical outlets. Air conditioning is something to die for during the summer, and you wont have it if you are running a generator only.
So you are an outlier, among the thousands here on slashdot that didn't respond the same. I've read the average person gets into an accident every 6.5 to 10 years depending on location, or 78-120k miles.
Google cars have had over 480k miles accidents-due-to-system free. There was one accident when one was rear ended while stopped at a redlight, and another when a human tester decided to override the automatic driving and drive it himself.
Even if you were to combine accidents from software bugs, driving the speed limit, or some other factor, I'd absolutely bet that they would total far fewer than accidents by drunk drivers, falling asleep at the wheel, using cell phones, talking to passengers in the car, highway hypnosis, misunderstanding street signs, or lack of knowledge about right-of-way. Pick one.
They don't have to be safe, as nothing, not even laying in bed, is completely safe. They just have to be safer than what exists now. That is a pretty low bar to reach.
Not safe right now... the difference being is that we can make continually make self driving cars more safe, since driving only requires a set of rules and environmental awareness. Humans will never become more safe, in general, because they are inherently mistake prone due to fatigue, poor judgement, distractions, intoxication, and many other factors.
Just look at the wonders of automated flight. Most airline accidents that aren't due to terrorism or mechanical malfunction are due to pilots overriding the autopilots.
Most Linus users don't know their kernel version anyways. They just know their distro, and maybe distro version, and never care to look at what is under the hood.
Usability be damned, I would prefer they encode the version number in I's,N's, and U's. Running kernel version Liiinnnnnnuuux.
That is because new programmers don't have experience solving problems, and end up getting stuck spinning their wheels. For them, programming is the challenge. For more experienced people, the programming is trivial, it is the design that is a challenge.
It also works better for inexperienced programmers than it does for seasoned vets. Partly because of egos, partly because problems don't end up being as difficult to solve.
Also, there is the problem of getting tired, where programming ends up being handed off between partners while the other partner zones out, and at each handoff, one has to come back up to speed. Surfing the web is bad for some, but for many programmers it is an opportunity for one to collect and organize their thoughts, and attack problems from new angles.
I've heard pair programming increases productivity by 150% over a single programmer, but two programmers independent are still more efficient than a pair. I believe this to be accurate, after a few months experience.
Google was used as hyperbole. That point is true for any large and prestigious software development house, that the vast majority of developers do not work for.
The problem with his argument is that he assumes it is possible to do any of those things. All developers aren't great developers, and the great ones aren't likely to want to go anywhere but Google. Instead, you have mediocre developers to deal with.
Neither are you able to set goals for sections of the projects, as customer's requirements often change. Developing something for consumers is easy, the hard projects are the ones being contracted.
Finally, the biggest difference that makes this advice near worthless to companies is that unlike his OSS project, companies need to turn a profit. Guaranteeing this and making sure devs aren't spinning their wheels for stupid reasons is why they need managing.
Better advice is that managers need to be those serving the developers and making sure they have what they need to do their job, rather than developers being forced to do management's whims.
I've always wondered how Coelacanth survived for so long. Everything about it is primitive. It has a slow metabolism (or at least the ability to make it slow) and more or less rides the currents to its feeding grounds and back. Very different from the high energy, small, modern fish.
As a species, it has basically been in a evolutionary standstill for 400 million years, and current populations have low genetic diversity (which may be a hint as to why).
My best guess is that some mechanism to not mutate much, flesh that isn't good food for many animals (gives humans upset tummies), a robust way of obtaining food (eating anything), and good energy conservation have probably contributed to its durability as a species. But I would think that lots of species have had these attributes, long ago.
It's habits and characteristics are remarkably similar to another living fossil, the Nautilus.

And yet you agree to it when you chose to use their service. It is not their fault that you failed to read the TOS or EULA. That you agreed to.
Those principles went the way of the dodo the day that the EULA was invented.
I know right. I see myself but I'm not sure I am real... Solipsism sucks.

Your math is a bit off. A large and high efficiency generator converts ~30% of fuel into electricity. A gallon of fuel contains ~36 kWh.
@4$/gallon, that is $0.37/kWh. At best.
If your generator is older, it's closer to $0.50/kWh.

A lot of apps use it, and with one, you could spoof requests using a simulator. It isn't a secure form of identity, but at least a good way to troll.

There are plenty of other directors who have been interviewed on curiosity and other rovers. You should be proud of their diversity.
And what does she know?
Their Graph API seems alright.
