This seems backwards to me and a gimmick. The trend will be bezel-less displays and you need on screen home buttons for that. The only innovation I want to see for physical buttons is for them to move the power and volume to the back of the phone ala LG.
As a Republican I 100% agree that this is bull. I think it likely the issue though is that republicans instinctively lean toward less regulation and if you are not technically literate, then these requirements could be phrased by someone in such a way as to seem burdensome.
My family made quite a bit of money on coal and oil royalties when I was a kid. Right now oil companies are re-leasing mineral rights from everyone in my county on 5 year leases to the tune of about $800 an acre plus a percentage of oil revenue from what is extracted and that is thousands of feet underground not the 50 Eli is talking about. Of course, I don't think I can stop someone from drilling across my land, I would just be owed money if they did.
I'm wondering about who owns the land he's digging under. I own a few pieces of property and that includes things under the surface. In the states this is pretty common. I'm the last person to want regulation or rules to get in the way of doing something cool and innovative but... does he have the legal right to extract the contents under each of those tracts of land in order to bore a hole and to build a commercial enterprise through that land?
I'm sure this wasn't a paid posting... but ignoring that, this is just a promotional rate. "until the promotional pricing expires on March 31, 2018. After which pricing goes up to $160". Personally, I'd rather go with a straight forward tmobile plan.
Has solar reached the point where nuclear isn't necessary? I realize that storage is still a big issue but on such a large scale, it would seem there would be a number of solutions for this other than traditional battery storage and maybe it makes more sense to have largely independent homes or subdivisions each with their own storage than single unit large scale power plants going forward. As bullish as I used to feel about nuclear, it just seems passé these days.
Well to be fair, most everyone regardless of their daily driver distro seems to love Slackware so I can see it polling above actual usage numbers on any forum. It is just that a lot of people that like it will not use it day to day because it doesn't have a good repo of binary packages and a good package manager.
They're shooting themselves in the foot. I think they underestimate what a sense of community means to overall traffic. No message boards, no community, no loyalty to imdb as a site and that "small but passionate" userbase will eventually begin to coalesce somewhere else followed shortly by the general public.
You're probably right about alcohol. It likely has some kind of statically significant impact on the population at large. Let's take the fat tax idea though for a spin. There were a few studies recently that compared sugar to cocaine and concluded that sugar may be more addictive. I have some reservations about that but it is at least a possibility. You have then a group of people that make up a more significant percentage of the population than smokers that are obese and addicted to sugar. These people are costing us as a society significantly more that smokers do. Why would this smoking fine not be applicable to them / sugar?
I have evidence that sitting is possibly more or at least dangerous http://www.livescience.com/530... If you are chasing some sort of optimized outcome for each individual you need to start addressing daily habits like sitting and diet before focusing on smoking. If you are willing to go that far, I'm not sure we have even the illusion of individual liberty or self determination left.
Would smoking be the only life decision you would choose to deny health care for? This reminds me of the department of education. The only real authority it has over the states the the threat of denying additional funding. If the government can deny you health care (life essentially) if you don't live the way it approves of, is there any facet of your life outside of the government's authority?
How long will it take the government to extend this to diet and other lifestyles? Diet correlates more strongly than smoking to decreased lifespan. Do we have a nationally enforced vegan lifestyle? Since homosexual lifestyles for men result in larger health risks should we fine men for being gay? Selfishly, I would like to see this as a law here because I have loved ones that I would like to stop smoking but... slippery slope.
Hah, I pointed out I can see across the street every apple in a tree that is ripe and that maybe this particular evolutionary advantage humans have to see color should be leveraged. I complained to our designers that they had essentially given our customer's dog vision... it made no difference.
It isn't worth it to me to pay $600+ for a phone that doesn't look or handle any different from my previous phone and simply has slightly better performance. The Pixel line of phones just are not innovative in anything but maybe the software and if that is the case why the hell do we even have a dedicated expensive line of phones? If Google wants to charge this kind of pricing they need to actually innovate at the hardware level. -See xiaomi mi mix for example.
Here is one example. Iceland kicks the FBI out of the country and claims directly that they were seeking to frame Julian Assange. Granted, this is a dailymail link but it is a direct quote from a minister for Iceland: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
How, could we ever trust our government if our highest law enforcement agency was actively attempting to frame someone for a crime. How often does stuff like this occur in other countries friendlier to such practices than Iceland?
People in the midwest need to do a lot of driving. It isn't like most of the EU or the coasts. I've lived in both Texas and New Mexico and we regularly (several times a week) needed to drive 1-2 hours if we wanted to go out to eat somewhere. That's a 4 hour drive and more than 200 miles for dinner or shopping.
We definitely have plenty of large phones but there is one thing about LG that makes them stand out.. the LG button placement. If Google would use them for their pixel phone of copy the buttons on the back, that is a phone I could go for.
I don't think you deserved to be down modded. I've also taken a similar approach in the past. Eat sardines, get lots of sun, eat no starches or drink anything sweet and not brushing and even very severe tooth aches tend to go away in a week or so. Anecdotal of course but I do think there must be something to be said for saturating the teeth with lots of minerals and having tons of vitamin d available.
This is obviously false though regardless of the age of the theory. It is well known that our moon was created when Nibiru (also known as Marduk) struck the planet Tiamat. Does no one read the ancient Sumerian texts anymore?
If you include the various government health agencies and private doctors in the media rather than science category then I guess I can agree with this.

This. Dry aging is almost always the way to go. Only sea salt and the air.

I'm by no means an expert but recent media has made this seem to be the case. Comparison image
Just continue screwing over the people of New Mexico. Problem solved.

That's like trying to enforce a monopoly on "alt-country" or "alt-rock". You can't say that you're the only "alternative" to a mainstream movement.

Google is probably thinking that they shouldn't be beholden to a browser with less than 4% share of the market.
