Google was widely used before Chrome/Android/iOS phones. And you generally have to download Chrome (rather than the already installed MS Explorer/Edge) on your PC. So, yeah, there is a really good reason it doesn't phase me in the least.
The bigger question is why an email client would have a web search function at all.
If you select something in an email, there is an option to search that highlighted text. It then opens up your default browser and runs that search. It's just a shortcut so that you don't have to copy -> open web browser -> go to search engine -> paste/enter.
...more video on the internet. Because there's nothing I like better than sitting through a three-minute video to get 10 seconds of information that I could have read.
..." that fully one-third of searches in the US are powered by Bing,..."
Only because there are so many browsers that MS has managed to get Bing setup as the default search engine. The worst was my Thunderbird email client. Not only did it have Bing set as the default search engine, but MS had somehow made it so that Google was not on the list of selectable search engines if you wanted to change from Bing. You actually have to install an add-on to get Google as a search option. I wonder how much they 'donated' to Thunderbird for that one.
...and Gary Johnson had triple the vote count of Stein in all of those states. What's your point? There has been no evidence that the 3rd party candidates affected the outcome.
Unless you have proof that more than half of the Johnson voters (and ALL of the Stein voters) would have voted for Hillary, then the 3rd party candidates didn't really lead to Trump getting elected.
Ignorant thinking like yours is why we get stuck with the same crappy (D) and (R) every year...
Your analogy is completely wrong. The reason you can manufacture and sell guns is that there are LOTS of legal uses for them. Can you name a legal reason to make and sell code whose only purpose is to break into other people's computers? Probably not. In fact, we specifically have laws against breaking into computers.
This is not the right proposal to fix our immigration system because it does not address the challenges tech companies face, injects more bureaucratic dysfunction, and removes employers as the best judge of the employee merits they need to succeed and grow the U.S. economy." Garfield argues that the tech industry cannot find enough STEM-skilled Americans to fill open positions and that U.S. immigration policy "stops us from keeping the best and brightest innovators here in the U.S. and instead we lose out to our overseas competitors."

No, this isn't a cold welding operation. It is a sintering operation, where the metal is heated to just below it's melting point so that the particles will fuse together, but still maintain nearly the same shape as the original part (with some shrinkage).
I worked at a company that used this sintering process. We molded the pre-sintered parts, while this company is 3D printing them. A few issues to overcome:
1. Shrinkage. Sure, you can say that the software will take care of this, but here is LOTS of trial and error to getting the original shape just right to allow for the shrinkage
2. Droop. When sintering (near melting point), the parts will tend to drop because, well, they are near melting. We mostly dealt with smaller parts due to this issue, but you can support them. The article mentions the supports, but where do they come from? We custom made ours out of ceramics to withstand the heat.
3. Removal of binders: We ran our parts through a separate chemical bath to remove some of the binder agents before sintering. This isn't mentioned anywhere in the article, so I'm curious if this will cause issues.
4. Post process machining: Some of our parts required machining for holes and other critical points on the part. How will this machining be done? Most of our either used a CNC machine with custom made jigs, or by hand, also with custom made jigs. Since these are prototypes, and ours were production parts, this might not be as critical an issue.
This isn't a really a new process, and there are lots of known issues with it.
And what is your evidence behind your assertion that 110 had severe neurological issues?
I made no assertion that they had severe neurological issues, just that it was a possibility. But strangely, your own quote lends support to that possibility:
Informants reported that 43% of participants had behavior or mood symptoms as their initial presentation. . . public awareness of a possible link between repetitive head trauma and CTE may have motivated players and their families with symptoms and signs of brain injury to participate in this research.""
So why did you jump all over me for suggesting it in the first place as a possibility?
Again show evidence of your assertion.
Again, I made no assertion of anything. I brought up the fact that this is currently an unknown, so more study needs to be done.
By the way the number is not 110 of all football players
So? What does that have to do with anything? I why list the whole breakdown of other levels of sport?

that allows NIMBYs to prevent the building of new housing stock, so housing can be affordable.
They've built on every square inch of San Francisco, and it hasn't become one bit more affordable. Why would building over every last square inch of Menlo Park make it more affordable?
Improve public transport, so nobody has to spend $5,000 a year just on transporting themselves
There are bus systems all over the Bay Area. The monthly passes run less than $100/mo.
Yeah, I can't believe that they EVER thought they could raise three kids in Menlo Park making $12-$19/hr.
And are they paying rent to live in his parents' garage? If so, how cruel are the parents to charge them so much rent that they can't even scrape by. If they aren't charging rent, how can they be scraping by? You just got one of your biggest expenses taken care of for free.
However, with 110+ samples and a 99% positive rate, it would credence that there is definitely a link.
That doesn't definitely mean anything. For all we know, these 110 had the most severe neurological issues (hence why they were donated by the family). Remember, thousands of people have played pro football over the last few decades. Taking a truly random sample of another 110 football players might only show a 5% rate. Then you would need to take another sample of non-football players to see if there is any significant difference before you could show a 'definite link'.

There is no way this is true. I absolutely, positively refuse to believe for one second that Donald Trump consulted with anybody on any topic for any reason.
I think you don't understand what is meant by 'side'. Yes, there is one set of true facts to the complete story, but sometimes one SIDE will only present the partial facts that support their SIDE. You then need to listen to the other SIDE that will fill in the remaining gaps in the full story.
Yes, there are. Where did you get the stupid idea that there aren't?
Snopes is saying, "That's our domain"! That is their side of the story.
The other company could come right back and say, "You signed a contract stating XYZ, so we will not relinquish control of the site until XYZ is taken care of" or something to that effect. That is the OTHER side of the story, which we have not yet heard. This makes two sides.

Yeah, this would be a great idea. Let's punish a company for being TOO successful in what they do by taking away their trademark protection. Sheesh,
Also, in America you do not need to have your car "towed to a shop" to get new keys. You just need to call an authorized dealer and give them the VIN.
My co-worker has a Prius, and he lost the only key. They had to have it towed to the dealership to be reprogrammed to get new keys.

Really, you tried to throw in Valerian, a dude movie that nobody watched, with Trek and Wars, two of the most successful sci-fi franchises ever?

The only problem with texting is that you need a screen to text (much more power draw), while you don't need a screen for a phone call.

Sintering metals can give you parts with nearly the same strength and density as a molded/cast part.
