  1. no,it means Bernie is a warrior princess like Diana or Xena

  2. Re:Some suggestions on California Moves To Require 100% Clean Electricity by 2045 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There already are plans to build them, they will be on floating platforms

  3. Re: Regulating 'Big Tech Platforms' on Senate Democrat Floats First Serious Proposals For Regulating Big Tech (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm so sick of hearing this shit. "Republic" just means you don't have a King, "Democracy" means the people choose their leaders. They are not at odds with each other at all, and basically every democracy takes place in a republic.

  4. Have you tried the "Active Hours" setting? it seems to work for me most of the time, the machine still reboots but at least it's in the middle of the night not when I'm using it.

  5. Re:Jar Jar Power! [Re:Prequels] on George Lucas's Terrible Idea for Star Wars Episodes 7-9 (indiewire.com) · · Score: 1

    This is all but confirmed in an episode of The Clone Wars cartoon

  6. Re:Great business decision.... on Warner Bros Is Cracking Down On Harry Potter Festivals (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I remember a few years back there was a big push from Disney and the likes to stop people from making recordings of their children's school musicals due to copyright.

  7. How can the ECHR be the biggest defender of freedom of speech when it has arbitrary subjective exceptions to limit that freedom?

    You don't have to be perfect to be the best that's out there.

  8. I'd be more curious of the effects of something like caffeine which I'm sure has become ubiquitous in the waters around developed areas.

  9. Re:How is this a shit sandwich? on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it was Comcast not AT&T that did that to Netflix, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was both.

  10. Re:Dont build a better mousetrap ??? on The End of Video Coding? (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    so just get a cat?

  11. Re:What a mess on Reddit Surpasses Facebook To Become the Third Most Visited Site in the US: Alexa (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Try finding sub-reddits for topics you care about. They generally have much better content and commentary than the default or most popular subs.

  12. Not everything is material. If I lived a life where I could buy all I wanted but couldn't spend any time with people I like or express myself freely, it would certainly be a lower standard of living

  13. Re:Lake Nyos lessons on Invisible Scum on Sea Cuts CO2 Exchange With Air 'By Up To 50%' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Much of the dissolved O2 in the ocean is put there from photosynthesizers, not just from the atmosphere. In fact you often get areas of super-saturated (partial pressure of O2 higher than the atmosphere) water from high primary productivity.

  14. Re:Diminishing Returns on Congress Is Looking To Extend Copyright Protection Term To 144 Years (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    No matter how high the tax got there's still no incentive for them to not just hold on to the IP forever. A better option would be to have exponentially increasing renewal fees for fairly short intervals.

  15. Re:Doing the same as Argo, then on A Fleet of Sailing Robots Sets Out To Quantify the Oceans (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you could mount a wire-walking CTD on one of these, it wouldn't be the full data set from an Argo, but still very useful.

  16. Re:The logic is painfully twisted. on Amazon Threatens To Move Jobs Out of Seattle Over New Tax (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    If someone won't/can't pay for their meal at a restaurant is it better to just throw them out or to make them work it off in the kitchen?

  17. Great, now I can make sure I get the most calories for my dollar.

  18. Re:"Calorie counts"? on Food Calorie Counts Will Start Appearing in US Restaurants and Grocery Stores (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Palm oil's problems mostly come from how it's cultivated, not the food itself

  19. I'd say that it won't be equal until everyone that wants to can attend college.

  20. If they just gave them away it wouldn't provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment that they're there for.

  21. You need another step to make sure the plants don't get eaten or rot and re-release the CO2, making charcoal is one option.

  22. >The communicative content is protected, not the form of expression.

    It's a shame they didn't use this logic on the Citizen's United case

  23. You can have a middle ground when you give protection to people based on who they are, not what they're talking about.

    BTW, where the hell did this revisionism that the Hitler came out of the left wing come from?

  24. Re:Do they really need an AI? on Zuckerberg Testimony: Facebook AI Will Curb Hate Speech In 5 To 10 Years (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    Liberal is not the opposite of conservative. Try these axes;
      progressive(change) -- conservative(stasis)
      liberal(freedom) -- authoritarian(rule of law)
      left(collective rights) -- right(individual rights)
    BTW affirmative action is an authoritarian idea, not liberal

    All of Zachtronics' games are programming based but this sounds closest to what you want.
