They're not poor in a prospering state. They're poor in a location that's inflating housing costs because there are more higher paying jobs. It's not the employers fault the landlords are raising rent because people are willing to pay $2000/month for a dwelling worth a tenth of that.

Because we're doomed once society accepts portrait videos as OK.
Can't wait till we're doomed, then. You really need to rotate one of your monitors -- portrait is drastically better for working with code, sysadmin/etc work in a terminal, web page reading, etc. I keep one monitor in landscape only because some crap assumes that bad orientation.
Why does one need to rotate one monitor to portrait mode, especially with multiple monitors? I have duel 23" monitors, and I have no problem editing code in a window of appropriate size on one monitor, a terminal or two on the "empty" space on that monitor (unless I'm using an IDE, in which case portrait mode would really suck) and documentation, web browser, or whatever I need on the other monitor. If you need to full screen your code editor, you're doing something wrong, because on a decent sized monitor, even in portrait mode, you have a lot of dead space if utilizing proper line lengths.
I purchased large monitors for this reason. Plenty of room in both directions without having to worry about, as you put it, "some crap assumes that bad orientation".
Another problem is that 16x9 monitors are unfit for rotation, and to get one with a sane aspect ratio you pretty much need to buy used.
How are they unfit for rotation? The only thing they would be unfit to rotate would be videos and games. Text/code editing, web browsing (unless you go full-screen on a video) and shell windows do just fine in portrait mode on 16:9.
At what point do these things become tablets? The largest is.6 inches smaller than their Tab A 7, which is sitting right next to me right now. No way is that a comfortable size for a phone unless you're Shack with an 8 inch thumb span. I have an LG V20 with a 5.7 inch screen, and I think it's about as large as I'd care to go. Maybe the 5.8 with a smaller bezel. The 6.1 inch with no bezel may be about the same size, but don't care for a no bezel phone that can't be put in a protective case. The 6.4 is just too big.
I'd love to use other sites (Walmart, Target)..etc., especially since sometimes they are cheaper... but they are bloated, way too slow (especially Walmart), display far too many irrelevant items / information when trying to find something...
Basically poor IT execution of their online experience.. its crappy compared to Amazon..
Fix that, and they'll get marketshare.
If Walmart were smart, they'd make a deal with the USPS for free next day delivery of items in stock locally. Hell free delivery period would be worth it. They have the shipping infrastructure to move things from their warehouses to the stores within a few days. They should also offer free pickup in-store on any item sold on their site housed in their warehouses. I regularly order 40lb bags of cat litter, but they don't offer in-store pickup at all on it. They insist on using UPS, and it's free if I order two of them at one time. No way in hell that costs them less than shipping it to the store and letting me come there and pick it up. As a prime member, I can order it from Amazon.com for the same price, sans sales tax, and still get it delivered by UPS for free.
I'm going to jump under the bridge and defend this "troll". I'm sick and tired of people saying "[this thing] isn't needed [some place]", "[this thing] is useless [because reason]", and "I don't need/want [this thing]".
Seriously, if you don't want/need something don't fucking buy/steal or otherwise acquire the god damn thing. The market place, like the universe, doens't revolve around your sorry ass.
Does it really mater if it's like us or not? Unless it's advanced enough to defend itself against us, we'll just kill it, enslave it, and take all it's resources. All in the name of god, just like we did to the Americas and Africa.
Why would you need to mention any of these at all? These people are your friends, they should already know these three things about you. If there was a stranger in the group, you would mention the one that first comes up in conversation.
"Did you happen to catch _____ on TV last night?" -- "No, I don't have a TV."
"What do you do for fun/relaxation/exercise?" -- "I practice yoga."
"Have you tried that new steak house over on 5th St?" -- "No, sorry, I'm vegan."
We're not wiping out trillions in value and replacing it with nothing, we're devaluing fossil fuels but increasing the value of renewable energy. I'm already looking at renewables to move some of my investments from fossils over, and I highly doubt I'm the only one.
I wonder how long it could last in standby if someone hadn't been foolish enough to force it to waste power phoning home just to say "I'm still here." That single transmission could possibly be what killed it.
I'd also like to note that if Opportunity wasn't designed to power down safely (or recover to a working state if someone were foolish enough to not have it power down before completely running out of power) recharge the batteries when there's enough sunlight, then have Opportunity restart, someone needs to loose their engineering degree.
Keep them going in an ever increasing direction, and any numbering scheme will be fine. Just don't go with the Asinine Asshole method Ubuntu's doing (and Android). Numbers are easy to remember and keep in order, artsy-fartsy naming conventions are harder to keep up with.
For those who can afford it I guess it's OK, but I can (and do) build a system much more powerful and install Linux on it for the price of a Mac desktop. Probably closer to half the price of a Mac, but I haven't priced one lately.
I don't know when the last time I signed my name in one of those esig boxes. I random scribble something and the cashier just pushes a button, my receipt's printed, and out the store I go with my goods. And people wonder why it's so easy for someone to use someone else's credit card.
So, rare earth elements aren't so rare after all then.
My biggest concern is: what is mining this resource going to do to the environment? Japan's already screwed up the northern Pacific with Fukushima to the point I'm concerned about eating Alaskan Salmon, or any north Pacific fish, what is their mining of this sea silt going to do to further damage the Pacific Ocean? The places on land that they these elements are pretty fucked environmentally, and that damage can't be carried around the world on air currents like ocean pollution can.
They won't buy them cuz then they'd have zero resale value after the card is no longer powerful enough to mine. Selling used cards to gamers gets at least a few bucks back.
I seriously don't want a graphics card that has been abused in a mining rig. They aren't meant to run full power 24/7, and I doubt there's more than a couple of use in them.
That HP tablet is a full blown Windows 10 device that can run any program Windows 10 can, albeit a bit slower. The iPad runs a mobile OS that is nowhere near as capable as OSX and can't even begin to load full blown desktop progrmas.
There is a vast difference between the two companies. Apple actually produces products for it's customers (users), whereas Facebook's users are not its customer, they're it's product, or rather the raw materials that Facebook mines to sell to it's real customers. There is no doubt that Apple has just as much data on their customers, and believe me, they will use it before going bankrupt, provided there are no laws put in place to.
The 225 low rent places will be for the "contractors" at FB (janitors, kitchen staff, thought police, etc).
Wouldn't it make more sense to just pay them more, rather than subsidizing their rent?
Where else do you expect the baristas, shop keeps, wait staff and other servants to live? At least the higher paid ones, every one else making minimum wage will have to commute.

So I'd need a structural engineer to design the bridge spanning the internet between the independent networks of my field and home offices?

It doesn't matter how I got it, if I have it and no longer want it, I'm certainly not going to summon it.
You would dismiss the vehicle when you no longer need it, you would summon it when you need it.

It's all bribes and kickbacks until the issue affects the lawmakers.
