Well it's fine if the end-user (the one who presumably rooted the phone) wants to defeat some certificate checking. And if you're suggesting that a third party rooted the phone, well...you have bigger problems.
From the study linked in TFA, this number (80%) does not represent primary or preferred, but seems to mean "any news":
Even though a large number of older adults are getting news on mobile devices, that doesn’t mean they prefer it. Across all adults, a clear majority of those who get news on both mobile devices and desktop/laptop computers prefer to get their news on mobile (65%). But those 65 and older are the only age group in which less than half prefer to do so: Only 44% prefer mobile, compared with about three-quarters of those 18 to 29 (77%), figures that have remained steady for both groups over the past year. In the next-highest age group, those 50 to 64, about half now prefer to get their news on mobile (54%), up from about four-in-ten (41%) a year ago.
(TFS didn't claim that 80% preferred mobile, but I thought it was mildly ambiguous.)
They also simply killed the asshole shooter, saving us millions of dollars on his trial
So your argument is now, "guns are good, they save us from guns." And killing the "asshole shooter" is fine and all, if you assume he was working alone. Was he involved in some larger Antifa group (as the right might like)? Was he coerced by some some false-flag operation (as the conspiracy theorists on the left might like)? In all likelihood he was a severely troubled guy acting alone, but still -- killing without trial is not something that should (in a free society) be lauded, though it is of course necessary in certain circumstances.
And regarding the 2nd Amendment, my personal opinion is that we should apply some of the thinking that goes with the 1st Amendment: protect the right to the extent that it doesn't reasonably affect public safety. AFAIK bomb threats, death threats, etc., are not protected under the 1st Amendment, and we should place similar public safeguards on the 2nd Amendment. Perhaps everyone agrees on this, in which case we just disagree on where that distinction should be drawn.
Except this is liquid cooling (~the refrigerant), it's just coupled very ineffectively to the CPU via air instead of direct contact. This refrigerator also makes use of a phase transition, unlike conventional water cooling (unless you're getting really toasty!), but it's not unheard of to build this into your rig.
But again, just blowing cold air is going to be rather inefficient for a single computer (data center is another issue I guess). Not to mention, you will need a *larger* radiator than you would otherwise, as refrigerators of course "make more heat than they make cold," and they just pipe the heat off to the air. So...the TDP of your case has now gone up by adding this unit.
But Fox news agrees with you, even though the year they select, 2012, it was not the most overturned, with the 1st, 6th, 8th, and 11th having more (the 9th was tied with the 5th).
Storage is generally difficult on a large scale -- batteries are expensive. One of the most effective means of storage is simply to pump water up a hill -- very efficient, but I think it's only economical if you have the right geography. I believe this works great in parts of Scandinavia, in the alps, etc.
It might be nice for future smart grid appliances (dare I say IoT...) to be able to take cues from power generation to burn a little extra juice (run the water heater, cool the fridge/freezer, turn off the gas heating and turn on electric heating if applicable, etc.).
Small Scottish isle with its own power grid, which often has the same problem of excess generation:
Then there are days, usually in winter, when the island has the opposite problem: it creates more energy than it can use or store. Just as Eigg Electric has to manage its deficiencies itself, it has to manage its surpluses. Fortunately, it has a system for that too: when there is a surplus of power, electric heaters in the community hall, pier lobby and two churches automatically turn on. This keeps these shared spaces warm all through the winter and requires “virtually no central heating in the system at all,” says Booth. “We don’t charge for it because the whole community benefits.”
While I don't disagree with your main points (and I think the hyperloop idea is great for Star Trek, not so much for Real Life), there's a huge difference between high vacuum/UHV systems and the level of vacuum required for a hyperloop-style setup.
Yes, bellows for instance are expensive, but you're probably talking about scientific-grade, relatively non-magnetic, bakeable, CF bellows with high quality knife-edges, which are good well into the UHV range.
For contrast, the pressure in my vacuum system (grad student) is about 10 billion times lower than their target pressure of 100 Pa. And this is not anything remarkable, this is just a standard room temperature UHV setup -- my point is, apples and oranges.
That said, I still don't think it's a great idea...
But that's not really equivalent -- ignoring/not listening/not responding is not the same as blocking.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the issue, this Twitter issue would be like blocking this form for certain IPs. Now I'm not sure that would be illegal (IANAL), but imagine if Trump blocked, say, San Francisco-based IPs, or if Obama had blocked it for rural West Virginia IPs.
I don't doubt that the FAA has huge inefficiencies, but AFAIK their track record (safety-wise) is fairly good (though I don't have my ear to the ground on this so I could be totally wrong).
On the other hand, we all know how BA's recent handling of IT worked out. Perhaps an inappropriate comparison, of course...
What about the deceased's (living) friends? They presumably had private communications with her, too -- should that privacy be breached now that she is dead?
I call it pretty damned cold-hearted. If that's what you want from your government, welcome to it.
But, unless I'm misunderstanding the issue, this is also a privacy issue for the deceased's friends. The deceased could very well have had conversations with her peers, conversations which no one wanted the parents to find out about. Facebook has a lot of bi-directional communication, so access to her account = access to things potentially said to her in confidence.
Of course, I find this significantly more palatable, as a) the whole computer only cost $35, and b) I think it's due to some licensing agreement with a separate entity (Broadcom).

Except that, at least in some cases, the price and life-cycle cost of refrigerators and AC goes down with energy-efficient standards. In particular, look at the kinks in figure 1.
But of course the senior author on this paper was involved in a pretty big scandal so maybe we shouldn't take the results too seriously. But at least he responded to the allegations.
The real question, then, is what would happen if two Marquis got into a crash...

Citation? Date range?
Politifact claims it's the 6th, 11th, then 9th.
Findlaw also says it's the 6th.
In 2015 it looks like it was the 11th, and in 2014 it looks like the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th came ahead of the 9th in reversals.
But Fox news agrees with you, even though the year they select, 2012, it was not the most overturned, with the 1st, 6th, 8th, and 11th having more (the 9th was tied with the 5th).
I'm not sure how this counts as tap dancing...
Which means we may finally get this sort of conversation:
;)
Person 1: Wow, it must be really windy.
Person 2: How can you tell?
Person 1: Well I just burned my ass on the heated toilet seat.
Storage is generally difficult on a large scale -- batteries are expensive. One of the most effective means of storage is simply to pump water up a hill -- very efficient, but I think it's only economical if you have the right geography.

Energy use is correlated with GDP, so it's in a country's best interest to incentivize energy use. Wind is hardly the only subsidized energy source.
I am legitimately curious, though, as to the effective cost-per-joule/subsidy-per-joule of various energy sources over the lifetime of the source.
Then there are days, usually in winter, when the island has the opposite problem: it creates more energy than it can use or store. Just as Eigg Electric has to manage its deficiencies itself, it has to manage its surpluses.

...electricity pays you!
Am I doing this right?
I also recommend his documentary on Prohbition.

and uh tell me a little bit, but they did have transistors already invented when they made mission impossible?
Yeah but it looks like the CCD was invented while the show was running, so a video camera tube would be required (and it wasn't used for image capture until after the show).
And how is it even pronounced? "One thousand bits per per LED"? "One thousand bits over per LED"? "One thousand bits-slash per LED"?
Staff forgot to lock up inmates
On Friday night, staff at Norrtalje prison forgot to lock up six inmates in their cells, three of whom are convicted murderers.
The inmates took their chance by baking chocolate cake and watching TV.
"It was one of the most enjoyable evenings we've had in a long time," said one of the inmates.
I just contacted them lamenting their change of stance/current apathy.
Hopefully enough people will do this that the suits will at least notice. Not keeping my fingers crossed or anything...

Wait...is "you bunch" referring to the Americans or the British?

This is similarly done with the Raspberry Pi family.
Of course, I find this significantly more palatable, as a) the whole computer only cost $35, and b) I think it's due to some licensing agreement with a separate entity (Broadcom).
...they're just going to tax California rocket fuel (or maybe just Mendocino rocket fuel)? I dunno though, haven't RTFA'd (R'dTFA?).
