The screen in question isn't the entire clock app. It is a specific screen that is only for alarms. Here's how it works, you click the clock to go into the clock app, then you click the alarm key that brings you to the screen they're talking about. It is a list of alarms you have, at first its an empty list. on the top it says alarm in the middle with edit on the left and the plus sign on the right. If I didn't know how to add an alarm i would try each button and see which works. You're main complaint that an older person wouldn't know that the plus dealt with alarms doesn't make sense.
Okay I see you're point about just responding the scenario provided by the parent. I wasn't talking about buying a $50,000 car just to taxi your kids around but it would certainly be a buying feature when you get your next car. I would absolutely let a 15 or 16 year old kid go to the store by himself, it would be safer than letting him get in a car driven by his 17 or 18 year old friend who just got their license.
You obviously don't live in a rural area, not every place has a taxi system. What about when you're busy and your kid needs something at the store 20 minutes away?
A computer would be far better than a human at that, a computer can determine the exact velocity of an approaching vehicle and calculate if it has enough time to accelerate. A person goes "yeah I think I can make it" or "No I don't think I can make it, oh wait, damnit I could have made it but now it's too late"
Does anyone know off hand what the physical limit is where the uncertainty principle (if thats what it is) that prevents electrons from flowing throw a transistor?
I'm not sure if you're from NY or not but I am so I'll say that SUNY is the NY state school system, as in subsidized by the state. I'm not sure exactly how the funding works because I'm not applying to any of them (high school junior, probably going to RPI, although MIT is my longshot school, for aerospace engineering) but they are run by the sate.
Sure, it's nice that the US has an expensive hobby which occasionally results in missions to other planets. But for the money spent, I figure they should have several hundred missions still active. We live in an era of diminished expectations. The one-eyed man is king in this land.
You should see how much stuff NASA is working on, most of it is dull basic science (where government belongs, a 15 billion dollar telescope to look at the early universe isn't profitable) so it isn't in the public eye.
Its not arbitrary. Its the point at which forces from the interstellar medium are equal to those of the solar wind, since both of these change the heliopause moves around which is why they pass over it several times.
You mean 4 times the range of the biggest batteries on the market? That would be 245mi (tesla roadster) * 4 = 980miles. That's a few weeks worth of battery for most.
That's a lot different than American university. I'm a high school junior and plan on going to a school with a sticker price around 40k-60k per year. Nobody actually pays that because of federal aid and scholarships but I wouldn't at all be surprised if I graduate with 80k in debt.
Kennedy knew how to use the camera to his advantage and wore makeup. I'm pretty sure Nixon was sweating during the debate and thus looked terrible on TV.
1)Car has infrared sensors that detect the kid and communicate to the other cars that it will be stopping or swerving into the other lane or something.
2)The parked cars sense the kid and let the moving car know and then we are basically at option number 1.
You apparently don't understand how science works. There is a reason we use controls. Kept in the same conditions a "regular" burger would have done the same. All that happened was that the stuff dried out and then there isn't much more that can happen. Why would it decompose in that environment? It didn't grow mold because it was inside in an environment where mold doesn't thrive.

This reminds me of a story one of my teachers told me this year. He was student teaching in upstate New York if one of the very rural towns (some of the towns around here smell like manure, the whole town). This was the kind of town where all of the kids woke up at 5:30 to work on the farm and then went to school. He was told that the school board was 4 farmers and 1 lawyer and I think he cracked a joke to which his supervising teacher responded "actually the lawyers the slow one, all the farmers own multi-million dollar farms".
As I understand it, it doesn't matter whether it gets eaten by someone in the developed world or thrown away because no matter what it's not being sent to Africa or other 3rd world nations. We could make enough food to feed the world, I think we already do, the problem is the supply channels.
I don't know if he meant it or not but what he was saying was that government should get out of the food industry. Since WWI government subsidies have been a major part of American agriculture.

last i checked I can go to my state capitol (Albany) and hold up a sign that says "FUCK THE GOVERNOR" and I won't end up in a secret CIA prison.

If you read the rest of the sentence it might make more sense.
If your looking for the most expensive windows laptops go to alienware.com, I'll admit I just bought one and can't wait to get it

You kind of proved your point wrong with the Trump tower thing. Trump tower is extremely expensive but its still profitable.
Nobody reads the article but not reading the summary is just lazy.

they're not world leaders in anything (except perhaps waste produced per capita)
Last I checked we're still number one in GDP. I don't like a lot of what we do but the US is a global leader

Tell that to everyone who lost a loved one in either conflict.
I got the same email a few days ago and then today got one for Best Buy Reward Zone. Like another post said, must be a massive amount of addresses.
Your example about the kid wouldn't happen if:
1)Car has infrared sensors that detect the kid and communicate to the other cars that it will be stopping or swerving into the other lane or something.
2)The parked cars sense the kid and let the moving car know and then we are basically at option number 1.
