Personally I have no interest in vinyl, but it makes sense to me as a more physical experience. You have a large object to hold, you place it, you set a needle, and you can watch it working. That's a different experience from simply listening even if the sound is worse, and I can see how it'd make some people feel more connected to the music and thus increase enjoyment.
Audio tapes have a little of that, but don't do it as well as vinyl because they're smaller and more machine-mediated (you can see them turning, but you can't see what's reading them). I think what's driving the audio tape market is more pure nostalgia -- kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s for whom the audio tape takes them back to a happier time in their lives.
It doesn't matter if you're connected or not. Hulu and Pluto already show you the exact same ad a gazillion times per show, that's why they're so much more annoying than traditional TV ads.
Bernie is against free trade, but he clearly does not represent the democratic party, he only represents the people. He was an independent until recently and the party did everything they could to keep him out of the presidency.
Yes,.gov domains are highly skewed, apparently towards the wealthy as evidenced by their showing iOS as far more popular than Android while other sources show Android with about 2/3 of the mobile website browsing marketshare.
Last month, Blue Origin Chief Executive Officer Bob Smith said he expects the first manned flight to take place by April 2019.
Note that's a brief suborbital vomit comet flight that simply goes upward, nowhere near the speeds required to orbit. It's hard to imagine it'll attract much business long term after people realize they can see the blackness of space for longer in a balloon and feel weightlessness just as long on a regular vomit comet plane. Their orbital rocket won't even be ready for unmanned testing by then. It remains to be seen if the billion dollars a year is building a true competitive space company or simply being burned on a billionaire's vanity project.
Ponds aren't seawater. But, for a car analogy, landing a rocket in a pond to keep it cool is like driving your car into a pond when it starts overheating -- yes that'll cool it off, but you'll have worse problems.
Voters could not care less how many unmanned rockets explode. The real problem is, NASA isn't allowed to build rockets -- they're only allowed to inefficiently subcontract rockets to commercial entities.
Until Blue Origin has a working orbital rocket, they're not competition at all. Suborbital and orbital are not remotely comparable, which is why Blue Origin is building a completely different rocket which is many times larger and all they've got is a vague hope to have it ready by 2020.
The number of micro-satellites you can cram in is irrelevant, you could launch a thousand such mini-satellites on a Falcon 9. Literally -- the payload mass of that flight was 3,038 lb and Falcon 9 lifts 30,000+ lbs to LEO. The ISRO is not competitive with SpaceX on cost.
The direct effects of climate change aren't a threat to civilization. The indirect effects might be. We've already seen it contributing to wars, and that kind of money will cause social unrest, and we do have a lot of nuclear weapons lying around the planet including in some of the most vulnerable places like India and Pakistan.
There've been laws against being loud and obnoxious in public forever. Mainly targeted at drunks. There's even laws against standing perfectly still quietly not doing anything (loitering).
Distrowatch is not a measure of popularity. It's a measure of how many people on their site haven't heard of a particular distro but are curious to read about it.
Guess what? A lot of Linux users don't want other people to start using Linux. More mainstream users = more pressure to be like mainstream OSes, more people who don't know what they're doing, more "user friendly" solutions that involve making everything less configurable.
We see health breakthroughs like this reported all the time, yet the ages people live to and the quality of life for the elderly haven't budged in the developed world for a long time. So what's the catch, what's the misrepresentation, what's the flaw in this treatment?
Cryptocurrency mining needs to be illegal -- it's already using a significant and growing percentage of the world's electricity output to produce absolutely nothing useful, and causing thousands of pollution deaths around the world as a result each year.

Yes, in order to avoid encouraging everyone from paying for college with criminal activities.
Exiting and re-entering the freeway takes a while, especially during commute traffic. Most Americans have long freeway-based commutes.
Good luck militarily occupying a thick jungle the size of western europe that's already covered in brutal militant groups.

Computers do have one significant advantage over people: they're willing to drive as slow as is appropriate for the conditions.
No need, they've got lasers.
The Saudis only recently started letting humans vote, and still not on anything important.
Inland ports aren't quite as silly as they sound. West Sacramento built a channel to become a deep water ship port.

"May be" "nearly" "as early as" is how science works. "Will be" "exactly" "on the date" is how religious prophesy works. You've got them backwards.
The massive wealth disparity could lead to communist revolution.

Do you seriously think there's such a thing as an objectively good DE? What's good for one person is bad for another, that's why we have options.
