Definitely, this. If he doesn't distance himself completely from his business interests or from Putin, he will find himself in a more impeachable position than any other president in history. But in his arrogance, he believes himself above such things, and is taking things in the opposite direction by only giving lip service to avoiding conflicts of interest, and by stacking his administration with a very pro-Russia cabinet while ignoring all of the intelligence pointing towards Russia's meddling in the election. The only question is whether the Democrats will have enough of a spine to actually bring impeachment charges, or if they will just give lots of angry speeches. Drama, at any rate.
The white supremacists are just a side show. I don't believe Trump himself is a racist in the same way that many of his supporters are. To him, everything is just business (which poses its own problems, see the conflict of interest issue above), and the white supremacists' support was convenient to that end. But if they continue to be a factor, that will provide plenty of drama of its own.
Languages change over time anyway. This is why we speak modern English, rather than Old English, Proto-Germanic, or Proto-Indo-European. And there is nothing you or any other pedant can do about it.
Yes, but unskilled workers in rich countries are a large and influential voting bloc, as a certain US political party recently discovered a little too late.
The problem is not that it isn't common sense, but that additional weight is given to the premise when it is expressed as the opinion of a certified official Smart Person (tm). If Stephen Hawking happened to mention that the sky is blue, a certain sort of people would hold it up as divine wisdom simply because he said it.
A better brick and mortar analogy would be a shopping mall. Is a mall liable for all products sold by individual stores in that mall? In the Amazon marketplace, the individual retailers are the actual sellers, and simply "rent space" in the Amazon platform like an individual store does from a shopping mall.
I searched Amazon for "iPhone charger", and sorted the results by price low-to-high. This was the first result that was actually a charger (their search algorithm apparently needs work). https://www.amazon.com/SMTSMT-...
Right on the page, it says "Ships from and sold by SMTSMT-Store", which means a company called SMTSMT-Store, rather than Amazon, is the legal seller and therefore the entity liable for any quality issues with the merchandise. Amazon in this case is simply the platform hosting a storefront for SMTSMT-Store.
If you buy a USB car charger from a company called SMTSMT-Store, you can probably expect it to explode.
You talk about science based information, yet your example queries are textbook pseudoscience. You aren't looking for answers or explanations with those search terms. You are looking for confirmation of what you already believe to be true. If you had instead searched for neutral non biased search terms, you may have come across resources that actually explain transgender and gender fluidity beyond your preconceived notions of them.
Reading comprehension much back at you. You cherry picked the 2 out of the 6 examples that are indoor only, conveniently ignoring the commercial building atrium roofs, greenhouses, car sunroofs, and glass walkways (which can be indoor or outdoor) that were mentioned.
To be fair, he is not president until January 20 and the transition team is not a federal agency, so 5 USC 3110 doesn't apply in this case. If he were to try to appoint one of his trumplings to anything post-inauguration, though, then there would be a problem.
If the indicated battery percentage jumps wildly between charging and discharging, it may simply be that the battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Especially if battery diagnostics don't show anything wrong.
I remember last time this machine set the record, there was some debate as to whether it should count, as the cube has to be modified in order to be mounted in it. The robot doesn't grasp the cube, but rather its six arms have pins that are inserted into holes drilled in the center square of each side.
If you are genuinely nostalgic for that era, you can still get a device with that level of complexity and computing power from companies like HP and Texas Instruments.
More specifically, calories are stored as fat in adipose tissue, and as glycogen in muscle and liver tissue. The total amount stored is as simple as calories in - calories out as dictated by thermodynamics. But where most people get confused is that calories burned by exercise are only a small portion of total calories burned. The rest are burned by the body simply doing everything it needs to do to stay alive. This number, however, is highly variable in activity and efficiency, differing from person to person, and varying over time due to the aforementioned complex interlinked processes. One source of variability is significant weight loss, which tends to slow the metabolism. Meaning on average, a person who weighs 150 lbs but used to weigh 200 has to eat less and exercise more to maintain that weight than somebody who has weighed 150 lbs their entire adult life.
According to the Pew Research Center, 84% of households in the US have a computer, and 73% have a broadband subscription. 87% say they use a computer to access the internet, the difference made up by lower income families using resources at libraries.
92% of internet users use search engines. Google has 63.8% of the search market in the US. Simple arithmetic (0.87 * 0.92 * 0.638) shows that about 51% of americans use google. Half of the population is very much not "a very low percentage of people".
Ironically, this information was obtained with 30 seconds of googling.
The vast majority, especially the non-technically-informed majority, use Google. Hence why the verb form of the name has entered our lexicon as a synonym for 'search'. A minority of non-technical people with a concern for privacy use Bing on the belief that Microsoft cares less about tracking their personal information than Google does. A very small minority of technical people use alternatives such as Duck Duck Go, but those alternatives are almost completely unheard of among the non-techs. So while it is definitely not the entire population that uses Google, it is still a pretty sizable majority, such that Google search trends can probably be considered meaningful.
You are lucky. Far too many states that shouldn't have been swing states suddenly became so. I live in Minnesota, which was supposed to be a part of the "blue wall", and has the dubious honor of being the only state in the union to vote democrat in the 1984 election, still hasn't been called. I have family in Wisconsin and Michigan, also supposedly part of the blue wall, both of which unexpectedly swung for Trump. In all 3 of those states, the vote counts for Johnson alone are greater than the difference between Trump and Clinton, so peoples' choice to vote 3rd party definitely had an effect on the outcome.
Meh, that's your opinion. The multitouch trackpad on macbooks combined with an OS designed for multitouch makes it a very good input method. Things like xy scrolling and pinch-to-zoom are features only a trackpad is good at. There is a reason desktop macs have an option for a peripheral trackpad instead of a mouse. People who don't use macs just have a perception that trackpads suck as an input method, because they have never had a chance to use one that doesn't suck.
It depends on if Amazon was acting as the Merchant of Record or the Seller of Record. The MoR is a 3rd party entity who is financially liable for the transaction, allowing the original retailer to sell in multiple regions without having to worry about tax and currency issues. The MoR assumes the financial risk for chargebacks etc., but not liability for the product itself.
The Seller of Record is a 3rd party that actually owns the complete transaction. In effect, the original retailer sells the product to the SoR, who then resells it to the buyer. The SoR therefore takes complete legal ownership and liability of the whole transaction.
"Performant" != "Fast". A performant thing is something which performs well, by whatever metrics are applicable to that thing. A performant algorithm is one that has both low time and space complexity. A performant web browser is one that renders the page quickly while also implementing the most web standards. A performant mobile device is one that is fast while drawing a minimal amount of power so that its battery lasts and it doesn't overheat. So "performant" is a very performant word, as it is a single word that means exactly what it needs to mean.
I don't think Apple wants to use proprietary connectors. In the past, they have fully embraced standard connectors, when those connectors were good enough. They ditched ADB when USB came out, and they ditched FireWire when USB got fast enough to transfer video.
What they won't do is use a standard connector if they feel that all standard options are compromises. When they felt the need to move away from the 30 pin iPod connector, they felt that the USB options were insufficient (not fast enough, not enough power for charging tablets, and most importantly, not reversible), so they developed Lightning to solve those shortcomings. I think if USB-C had existed at the time, Lightning might never have been developed.

If there are people who will buy it, can you really blame them for making it? They would be dumb not to, really.
Yes, they did. The whole problem is that only the first step worked as expected.

You haven't ever looked at (eg.) Thinkpads then? Much better built and specced than anything Apple makes.
Except for the trackpad on ThinkPads, which is utter complete garbage.
