And when you're done logging in, you can use the fake hand to give yourself a stranger. What's not to love eh?
It's a wax hand, not a whacks hand. Save your joke for when they start using this technique with video instead of still images, and it's necessary to make a silicone (or similar) hand so that it can be equipped with a pulse.
There's plenty of overlap in that particular diagram.
It's a perfectly rational decision for them to pretend climate change doesn't exist, because fixing it will cost them money while bringing them none of the benefits.
It isn't, either. Not fixing it will cost them money, too. It's already costing money, it's not like that's something for the far-off future.
Nope. Totally wrong. They blocked spending. They didn't block releasing them. The correct, humane, constitutional thing to do if they couldn't be transferred somewhere for trial was to release them. And if Obama wanted to release them, all he had to do was call congress' bluff. Just give notice to congress that he wanted to bring them to trial, issue an executive order stating that anyone not brought to trial would be released as per the constitution, then spend the next 45 days telling the american people that congress was keeping gitmo open. Then at least he's tried, and it's not his fault. But he did fuck-all, which is how we know it was a lie from the start. He pandered to idiots, and the idiots are still sucking his cock for it. You're so useful.
Because when I got proof of debt on the car I got a tiny shitty photocopy of his picture. Which I promptly lost in a move, of course. I can't afford stability, especially not now.
Chrome os exists because chrome for Android is crap. Full stop. There is no other reason. It's pretty sad that even after all these years this is true, and it's even more sad when you consider that it's because of Java. Chrome isn't written in Java, so chrome for Android isn't trivial. And what makes that especially sad is that the point of Java is to run everywhere, but Android doesn't present enough services to applications that they don't need to pull in non-Java libraries that are architecture-specific. So we get all the pain of using Java with zero of the benefits. Meanwhile, we had native Linux on handhelds before Android even existed, it was called familiar Linux and I ran it on my iPaq H2215. You had a choice of gtk or qt-based environments, and both worked. You had full access to the os. Now we have an inconsistent and poorly supported replacement that squanders resources, instead. Thanks, Google!
That's not how it works. You don't get to criticize the other guy's corrupt president and then fellate your own. Obama could have solved gitmo with a fucking pen. Just write an executive order insisting that everyone in there either be charged and speedily tried, or released. Anything else is unconditional but let's face it, nobody who orders a drone strike on a wedding gives a shit about anything. Obama is simply the most charming war criminal in recent history, and should be regretted (I was trying to write regarded but got auto corrected, but I like this better) as such.
Obama didn't need to fund anything. All he had to do was insist that the Constitution be respected, but your favorite constitutional scholar couldn't even manage that. We'll never know if he could have closed gitmo because he literally did not even make a meaningful attempt to do so. He wrote enough executive orders to have used them for toilet paper, but that one somehow escaped him. And the somehow is that he didn't actually try.
An illegal immigrant stole my identity and the CA EDD forced me to use a different SSN for EDD-related stuff for a time because someone else was using it. They could easily have been receiving health care under my name. They certainly bought a car using my social. The court in Nevada City granted a judgement against me on the basis of a check cashing card with my social written on it with a pen. Haven't had the time and money to deal with this stuff, and it's shafted my credit score which makes it virtually impossible to be a full-fledged member of society.
I'm anti-wall, but we do need to do something about the way we let illegal immigrants do things that really do harm citizens.
I don't give money to Mozilla because they use most of the money they get making the browser crappier. If we give them more money, they will only ruin it faster. They spend money on shit like Pocket, which is literally the opposite of what I want. They changed Firefox mobile so that it always shows Pocket on launch, EVEN WHEN LAUNCHED WITH A URL INTENT, which means that I am already being advertised to every single time I launch Firefox on the fire stick. That is effectively a pop up ad built directly into the browser, with no option to disable. What I want from my browser is to block ads, not to force them on me!
Giving money to the Mozilla foundation at this point is paying to be abused, period. It certainly won't improve Firefox.
If we keep burning fossil fuels we're going to select against our species by rendering the biosphere incapable of supporting it. Natural or unnatural, fitness has to include not fouling the nest. We claim Dominion over the entire planet, but we don't even clean up after ourselves. We're no better than rats.
It was no more reasonable for the average person to be skeptical twenty years ago, not even slightly. There was consensus along climate scientists then, and people aren't generally any better educated on science now than they were then. Most of them knew jack then, and they still know jack now. Either way the reasonable thing is to trust the people who know more than you do. For the plumber to expect to be trusted in matters of shit and then refuse to trust scientists in matters of science is a truly pathetic disconnect.
Just keep in mind the difference between faith founded on facts, and faith founded on nonsense. The former is how science works. You learn to trust science because it demonstrates its credibility on an ongoing basis. It's faith, yes, but it's reasonable faith, as opposed to the usual unreasoning kind.
I have faith that atoms exist because the atomic theory permits making useful and testable predictions. Do we really have no better word for that than to use the same one that people use to excuse believing in magic sky friends?
Sure, if done wrong. But not using natural fertilizer also has consequences, and they are even worse in the long term. They include threatening the future food production capacity of the planet.
You essentially recover all the gravitational potential energy going downhill, so you don't need to apply as much driving force to maintain your cruising speed.
If the descent is so gentle that you require neither friction nor engine braking to maintain your speed, then you certainly are getting back the energy you spent climbing the hill. However, that seems relatively rare in my experience.
Oh, sure. Just as carbon-neutral as coal, oil, and natural gas anyway. Not that this is a useful definition of carbon-neutral.
Where the timber is sustainably harvested (putting the energy costs aside) it's probably pretty close to carbon-neutral. If you used renewable power, the whole thing could conceivably wind up being carbon-negative because all the parts too small to be firewood wind up getting composted. This usually involves chipping it, which does take some energy, but you can also build a "hugelkultur" by throwing it down someplace you'd like to build soil, and dumping some clean dirt on top of it. You can then plant into the resulting mound, or just throw something like burlap or hydroseed on top of it in order to hold it down.
Coal and oil (and to a varying extent, natural gas) are highly concentrated and long-period, which is why it's frightening how much of them we use.
the car can coast uphill further on its momentum, and the car has regenerative braking to further improve on this base efficiency.
Absent the regenerative braking, the greater mass is always a liability when going up hill, or at any time really. At best, it means that there's more energy being dissipated by the tires and bearings (all the time) as well the suspension (when the road is lumpy.) But when you have regen, the problem of having to spend more energy to maintain speed while climbing a hill is offset by the benefit of gaining energy by maintaining speed when you come down the hill. You still have greater losses in the non-braking parts of the system, though. On lumpy surfaces, the energy dissipated by the suspension becomes quite significant.
How can speculative execution be exploited if 100% of the code running on the processor is vetted?
How can you know that 100% of the code running on the processor is vetted if you don't have open hardware and software, and/or the machine is network-accessible? There's been remote holes in both network stacks and services in the past, it is illogical to assume that there will not be any in the future.
We use mechanical tilth and harvesting because they reduce labor, and we plant monocultures because they are compatible with mechanical harvesting. Interplanting crops in beneficial "guilds" maintains soil health and increases yields, but it is incompatible with current large-scale cultivation methods. It also reduces pest problems, especially as part of an IPM strategy. GMO is a red herring.
They already sell uncured bacon, and I've frozen it myself for later use. It keeps more than long enough that the only benefit to buying it already frozen is that you don't have to spend the energy to do so at home. It would cost more to ship frozen, though, so you'd pay anyway.
The bellies are smoked and then cured with only time, then sliced into "uncured" bacon.

Obviousness is orthogonal to complexity. An obvious idea can be difficult to implement.

"If you are using an 11 year old Mac Pro, then you don't need a new one. A midrange iMac will make you sooo happy."
It lasted him 11 years because it was a pro. Only now they don't have a pro worthy of the name, so what should he buy? Answer, a PC.

All wrong except cancelling transactions, that's real. But if the till is short, that's easily caught.
Fast food places absolutely have a policy of firing people who steal product, although like all other rules it is enforced selectively.
