In Europe you even have in-cell phone and entertainment systems but recidivism statistics are the same.
Present evidence for that, please. The drastically lower incarceration rates there suggest to me that they're not having to re-arrest people as much. Norway is the country best known for having comfy prisons, and it looks like their recidivism rate is 20% compared to the USA's 36%: https://www.researchgate.net/p...
Of course it's very hard to find useful stats to compare since the nature of the crimes involved varies by country.
Not having to replace batteries, ever, is AWESOME, doubly so because watch batteries are really tiny
I got my last wrist watch 17 years ago. The battery is still going. Most people will replace their dumbwatch long before the battery dies, so I can't see the point to a solar dumbwatch.
Refugees are leaving their homes because they have no choice, and they're nowhere near as likely to want to adapt their culture to co-exist. Many of them may be incapable (I don't think I could adapt to a severe cultural change plus a language barrier, and I don't think I'm particularly stupid).
California is chock full of these refugees from conservative cultures and difference languages -- hmong, vietnamese, middle eastern, etc. World's 6th largest economy, seems to be working out fine. South Florida seems fine with Cuban refugees floating across. Guess they're all smarter than you?
Temperature isn't a big problem on Mars for the same reason it's not a big problem in orbit: the air pressure is so low that it's easy to insulate against and you're already living in a closed system.
Anywhere on Earth that you want to build a sealed dome is similar enough. Doesn't account for pressure differences on the dome, but that's not the most complex issue.
The behavior of web browser refresh buttons made sense in the dialup era when it'd take forever to re-download all the styles and javascript, and pages that had regularly-updating information didn't have AJAX to update the info without a refresh. It really doesn't make any sense now.
Because we don't mind politeness -- politeness is good in international politics. What we mind is selling them weapons and pretending they're not a terrorist regime and presenting them as saints who'll help defeat evil Iran. Which Obama did slightly less of than presidents before and far less of than president since.
Our current president came from a bunch of business meetings in Saudi Arabia where he assured them total exemption from his muslim ban despite being the world's primary source of terror, because money.
I'm with you on that, except when you consider this is Walmart. Shopping at Walmart is a stressful draining experience, and their food often doesn't taste quite right anyway so why bother trying.
Walmart is where poor people buy groceries. Not where people who have their own houses and smart locks and smartphones and surveillance cameras buy groceries. I think this service has seriously misjudged its' market. Middle class people do shop at walmart, but usually for other things, not for groceries.
Refusing to use defense patents does not cause patent law to change, it simply causes FOSS companies to die and be replaced in the market by companies making proprietary software that can afford to pay the trolls. You have to work in the universe you live in, not the perfect one.
Until.invalid gets auctioned to a bidder who wants to sell disability-related domains on it, and.localhost gets auctioned for use by local tour guide sites.
Remember when there used to be payphones all over the place, so if you had an emergency or ran out of gas or something, you could call for help?
First, the payphones every mile along highways were a recent innovation which people were fine without. Secondly, they still exist in many places. Thirdly, it's infinitely easier now than then to ask a stranger to make a call for you on their phone. Fourthly, dumbphones work perfectly well for that purpose.
And when cab companies are put out of business by Uber, good luck getting transportation anywhere without a cellphone.
Eh, we have these things called buses and cars and trains and planes. I've never used a taxi or an uber in my life.
smartphone apps will have completely replaced debit and credit cards
Zero chance of that happening, because even many of us who do have smartphones have zero interest in trusting them with payments or installing countless apps.
I learned the opposite from this. Apparently I can enjoy a diet of all sweets and there's an 80% chance it won't even be a contributing factory to my death, let alone a direct cause. Sounds more like a 90%+ chance that it won't make a real difference to my longevity. That's damned good odds.
My vote has never meant anything in presidential elections anyway, and never will. It only has half the theoretical electoral college weight of a voter in other states to begin with, and it's a single party state with a winner take all electoral vote system so there's never any doubt about the outcome. So I'll gladly give up that farce for $10, as long as I can continue voting on everything else.

It's just lazy writing. It means "ever before in human settlements."

Can the price of a privacy-oriented phone ever be competitive with a phone that's subsidized by selling your personal info?

Being sedentary greatly reduces your risk of athletic injuries. Nobody ever blew out a knee on the couch.

There are failed landing attempts, not rocket tests. There's a big difference. All of the primary missions of these flights succeeded.
In general, social anxiety manifests before adulthood -- rarely in old age as cat lady syndrome does.
