If I can take a brief stab at it. General Relativity works about as well as Newton's Gravity works. It does work, for certain levels of accuracy. Where it fails is at edges. Newton's Gravity rules work well enough that they are still used today. That being said, they do not work at levels of accuracy needed for General Relativity.
This doesn't mean that Newton's rules are accurate, they aren't. They are accurate enough, which is often good enough, but not always.
false dichotomy electoral system built around illegal "party" affiliations.
Imagine a system where Primary elections are to pick the top two candidates from ALL sources, and parties had to nominate their one candidate without the help of publicly funded elections.
Or, to put it another way, WHY should the public fund the campaigns of party candidate elections.
Nice story, that they were "1%". Unlike the progressive %1 that are pure hypocrites (do as I say, not as I do) who love to tell ME what I need to do, only to do the opposite.
If you're not scared of BOTH Hillary and Trump, you're not paying attention. IF You are voting for Hillary, because Trump scares you, you're just stupid. BOTH Hillary and Trump are equally scary. However, I would suggest to you that Hillary is much scarier, because of the Sycophantic press that is actively supporting her, that wouldn't lift a finger to support anything Donald does.
PurplePAC and AlternativePAC are the two major SuperPACs that have been formed to support Johnson.
But you must understand, Libertarian candidates typically are ethical and principled, and do not often avail themselves to all the legal means of supporting their candidacies. IF you don't like SuperPACs, you don't use them. If you don't like Government funded campaigns, you don't ask for government funding. If you don't like the status quo, you use ONLY that which your ethics and principles allow, and forgo the rest even if it is detrimental to current campaigns.
This is a longstanding debate in the Libertarian party, compromised principles to win vs staying true to your values and continue to lose.
THIS year, however, is different. Enough people HATE both R and D candidates in such a way, that it should be easy to get 10% and possibly 20% of the electoral vote. The trick would be to get closer to 1/3 of all the votes cast, which would be a HUGE indictment of the "status quo" candidates of Trump and Clinton. To get there, everyone who HATES those two, need to come over to Libertarian Gary Johnson.
And while you may not like everything about Gary Johnson, at least he is not someone you "Hate". Which should be enough to get you to NOT vote for (D) or (R) Candidates. I mean, if you HATE both the candidates, PLEASE start supporting (not just voting for) Gary Johnson. THIS year is the year to break the FALSE dichotomy electioneering of our country.
Just wait until the inevitable accidents and people dying while playing PokemonGo. I've already seen several near misses as PokeStopped vehicles causing road rage.
Ingress - is cool (uses GPS and map data to make a game of outdoor activity) Ingress - is fun Ingress - is addictive Ingress - has continuing progression - has pvp aspects Ingress - has crossover potential (aspects appeal to kids and adults alike) (Actually, Pokemon is very generational, the under 40 crowd - has brand recognition Ingress - is cheap* Ingress - utilizes hardware you already have - has "gone viral" (debatable, considering "Brand recognition"
So from My perspective of comparing Ingress vs PokemonGo!, the Only advantages are PVP (ingress is Very team based), Brand Recognition (duh), and "gone viral" (a variation of "Brand Recognition"). The fact that PokemonGo builds a lot on what Ingress has already done, is just a testament to Ingress. Lets compare what happens in the next three years with Pokemon to compare it with what Ingress has done. My guess, is in an effort to monetize PG, it will become Pay-To-Win or ruined by bots farming Pokemons and selling them in an online store.
And I can't wait for the "human interaction" problems to explode, as the assholes ruin that aspect of the game.
Pokemon uses Ingress portals as Pokestops n such. So, Ingress paved the way for Pokemon, and the ONLY reason Pokemon is popular is because of the Pokemon name. Good for them.
AND there are already HUGE problems for Pokemon with both Servers being overloaded, and hacked APKs that spoofers are going to use to ruin the game. At least with Ingress, you know who the spoofers are, not that Niantic does anything about them.
My view of bugs are that the requirements are known, but are changed along the way, so how you deal with the original requirement isn't necessarily how you deal with the new, improved requirement, and trying to not have to rewrite the entire codebase simply to adjust for the whims of a project manager. It is this "miscommunication" that causes the greatest bugs in my experience.
A radio button is not a check box. Designing for one, and having to switch to another, without having to rewrite the surrounding code is nearly impossible. And when you rewrite one part of the code, it has unexpected consequences to the other bits that also depend on it. (lame example, I know, but it gets my point across)
Cops get trials where the judge decides, because that is in the best interest of the cop, and the cop chooses to forgo a jury trial. It is their right (as is yours as well). Most of the time, you WANT a jury trial, cops are one of the exceptions where judge tends to be more dispassionate.
And you're right, cops don't like to lose control. But the moment THEY lose control, they've already lost. Having been arrested by a pair of cops who "lost control" (verbal, not physical) I can assure you, I have no loss of love for the police.
Actually how it happened.. Cops: "You're under arrest for being drunk in public"
Me (already in cuffs): "Officer, I am neither drunk nor in public"
slam jerk yank....
Cops: "um I mean assaulting a police officer"
The way I view it, the cops have an impossible task of breaking liberties to protect "the public". The fact is, cops should be under the goal of "Defend liberty" and not "Protect and serve". "Protect and Serve" is way too nebulous and has been twisted into "shooting a guy during a traffic stop for a broken tail light" in a vain effort to "Protect and Serve". What are they protecting, serving?
The computer I have is from 1995, it still works great! (no need to upgrade, it does what I need) (What you can do is irrelevant) The 10MB Hub I have is great, it still works (no need to upgrade, it does what I need) (network speed is irrelevant) The 35 year old Fridge is great, it still works (no need to upgrade, it does what I need) (more efficiency is irrelevant)
There are lots of reasons to upgrade a phone, and the biggest one is... security updates to the OS. if you want to use Android 4.4 or a version of iOS that is no longer supported, great, use your phone forever!
If you were asked about presenting a false dichotomy, you would be correct. Those are NOT the only two choices, so presenting them as the ONLY two choices is itself a lie (or ignorance).
And who is the crook and who is the demagogue? Because IMHO Trump and Clinton are both;)
So, your basing your whole argument on assumption? Don't mind me if I ignore your Vapid Emotionalism.
NO, I am not supporting Trump, there are VALID reasons for not supporting him. I am also NOT supporting Hillary either, for nearly identical reasons.
You see, the (R) and (D) behind the name doesn't matter to me one bit. I am not emotionally tied to party affiliation, which is.... vapid emotionalism.
I am amazed that lack of evidence is considered sufficient to avoid looking for evidence in the first place, and just as delusional as those that claim lack of evidence is itself evidence. They are equally bad, for different reasons.
As for Hillary, if you think she is NOT breaking the law, you're just not paying attention or are blinded by the (D) after her name.
Here is the problem, Liberals are saying "Clinton isn't guilty" (legal meaning) so they are going to vote for her, which sounds a lot like "I hired Casey Anthony to babysit" to me.
And if you bring up Trump, I'll simply say... "pointing to bad behavior to justify bad behavior doesn't work on me"
SATA support ALSO needs to go away. The new SSD drives are already starting to exceed the speed limits of that format, which is why you see lame things like the M2 format in places.
With the death of Spinning drives coming shortly, we need new extensible standards that can take us the next 20 years or so.
Backwards compatibility ultimately holds us back when the technology is at the end of the line. Capacity and Speed are pushing us beyond what 20 year old standards like SATA can do for us.
You can get the Nexus 6P for $649.00 for 128 GB Storage. So, less money than 16 GB iPhone.
IMHO this is like saying you want to be raped, just not in the ass, and then getting raped in the ass anyway and then whining that being raped in the ass wasn't what you wanted, but at least he was cute.

Strawman arguments are so valid.

And who is the crook and who is the demagogue? Because IMHO Trump and Clinton are both ;)
He's either being promised a reward or threatened with destruction.
That is not an XOR there. It very well could be both.
I hope this happens so we can get it over with.
You mean America? ;)
So, your basing your whole argument on assumption? Don't mind me if I ignore your Vapid Emotionalism.
NO, I am not supporting Trump, there are VALID reasons for not supporting him. I am also NOT supporting Hillary either, for nearly identical reasons.

Pointing to bad behavior as an excuse for bad behavior doesn't work with me
Why not call bad behavior for what it is, rather than trying to justify voting for the two candidates that would be actually BAD for the US?
Vote for Gary Johnson - Libertarian.
Here is the problem, Liberals are saying "Clinton isn't guilty" (legal meaning) so they are going to vote for her, which sounds a lot like "I hired Casey Anthony to babysit" to me.
And if you bring up Trump, I'll simply say ... "pointing to bad behavior to justify bad behavior doesn't work on me"
