Thin lines that are very nearly horizontal or vertical stll get a slightly wobbly effect as they transition between sharp and fuzzy. And a perfectly vertical 2 pixel black line looks different from a 1 pixel black line between two 50% gray lines. This is especially noticeable when nicely aligned interfaces are scaled by the OS.
But apart from those minor issues, the effect of smaller pixels certainly does start to approach negligibility. You probably won't be able to tell when watching a movie or playing a 3D game.
Well, they didn't rewrite the wheel, did they? They just picked any old wheel they saw lying around, and that just happened to be MD5. And as long as it didn't squeak, they kept using it.
It means some foolish Apple user is going to send a water gun emoji to someone maybe saying "Let's take the kids to the park" and some non-Apple user is going to call the cops.
Could be the other way around, though. If you see a bunch of arabs jumping out of a car near a large crowd and shooting water pistols, thank Apple.
To be fair, they didn't just send out Nigerian Prince e-mails.
From the article: "The other strategy they used was to take over the email account of a high-level executive and give instructions to transfer money into a bank account they controlled."
And the "take over" was probably as simple as "send a fake e-mail appearing to come from that address" which is trivial to do.
Wait a minute... they are trying to reduce the amount of CO2 by converting it into something else, and you want to turn the resulting CO right back into CO2?
Red shift only measures speed. But since in the expanding universe speed appears to be more or less proportional to distance (at sufficiently large distances from our local cluster of galaxies), it can indeed be used to estimate large distances. Although the brightness of certain types of supernovas are a more accurate measure and give slightly different results, suggesting an evolving rate of expansion.
Your Nike shoes example is one of the reasons why some schools have uniforms. No class differences, everyone the same. It does seem to help.
Even without uniforms, schools can have all sorts of rules, banning sports shoes, shirts without sleeves, etc... I don't see why banning head scarfs is such a big deal in that context.
Erdogan even sent his daugters to a US university because they were allowed to wear their headscarf there. In Turkey they would have had to take it off.
Seems simple enough: fat people are fat because they eat too much fat. Until you ask yourself the question how cows get fat. Now it turns out that certain amounts of fat in our diet are actually quite healthy, and much better than all the synthetic stuff we've been replacing fat with. Butter is healthier than margarine, who would have thunk? Sugar is the new culprit now, until the next study comes along.
Until school girls from a muslim background start to be pressured into wearing them because otherwise they are "whores" and are attacked both verbally and physically by their fellow pupils. It's one of the main reasons headscarfs are forbidden in many Belgian schools. It was becoming a de facto obligation for many of the girls in areas with lots of muslims.
That is the danger of head scarfs. I know there are some misguided women who wear it as a personal choice because they are so proud to believe in their particular version of the Imaginary Superbeing, feeling the need to show everybody how much better they are because of that, and are somehow oblivious to how it is used to oppress women in many parts of the world. But for many it's not a choice at all, and that's what's wrong with it.
I happen to be in Brighton, UK right now. No top hats and monocles. Lots of bikinis and hot pants, though. Yesterday I saw a bare back without any tattoos, made me look twice, it felt like there was something missing. Weird country, this is.

Please tell me they at least salted them?
Sorry, Trump, I thump the pump.

I just keep one eye closed until I turn the light out again.
I suppose they are perfect for highways, though. Keeps drivers from falling asleep.
Britain was one of the world's most prosperous, safe, and culturally advanced nations for over a thousand years.
So was Greece. And Rome. And Egypt.
Except if you forget to water this device, it will run dry and the catalyst will be damaged. Same result.

Especially on Mars.
Indeed, it would be a lot easier to plant trees on Mars and use those to produce fuel rather than use a device like this.
"There's no point in acting surprised about it. I'm sorry, but if you can't be bothered to take an interest..."

*citation of your novel definition of "choice" required
Women being beaten or stoned for not wearing the correct clothes?
Or, in my own country (Belgium), being called whores and sexually assaulted?
It's not a choice if your family or friends make you under the threat of violence.

Sure, but you'll have to pay extra.

They must suck at trigonometry then.
Not to mention the free publicity.
Just make sure there's no DST change around the time of the jump.
