It isn't that I don't want my vote to count, it is that I don't want your vote to count more.
A national instant runoff election would likely lead to a vote where people more clearly expressed their feelings (and everyone would have a say over the most intense competition without removing their ability to express a preference for a different candidate).
I'm sorry, but he said sweat, and in that context, consumption is wealth (we could get into a discussion about necessities vs luxuries, but today's necessities are the stuff of ancient king's dreams, at least in the U.S. and Europe).
I'm done. You said sweat, which is reasonable to interpret as productivity, and the per capita productivity, measured in dollars really is ~50 thousand, and productivity far outweighs wealth (the entirety of captured human wealth is something less than 1 quadrillion dollars (probably much less), which is somewhere less than 15 years of global economic output).
And at the moment, a number in a bank account sure is wealth.
The vast majority of productivity is consumed (this has been true pretty much for all of history).
If you want to complain that Bill Gates is wealthy, go ahead, but you have to concede that the U.S. economy produces the entirety of his wealth in about 1.5 days.
Except for the part where 99% is hilariously wrong.
(Per capita productivity in the U.S., including babies and such, is about $50,000. If 99% of that were being taken away, the average household would be living on like $2,000 a year)
Sure. My point is that the rethinking isn't done until I can use the system without getting frustrated by the fact that I can't put a blob of data somewhere with program A and then quickly pull that data into program B (and as 'bad' as it might be, that alternative should be there right up until the point it is *never* needed).
If that was your point, it isn't even coherent, the article is about Apple using a modal iPhone like interface on the tablet, not about Apple using a 3d interface.
It is okay for files to go away, right up until the point that I notice I can't access some data because it is stuck in some app.
And I don't mean that files should never go away, I just mean that each time I notice it, I get confirmation that they aren't done making whatever it was that they changed work correctly yet.
The tech is going to have to be pretty amazing if you want me to stop using my retina. And I don't have particularly good optics in front of my retinas (I'm right on the edge of needing correction to drive, but not over the edge yet).

Don't fret too much, it would have to cope with the green goo that currently occupies the ocean.
I hear crazy street racers put nitrous in their cars.
With the enhanced (or hot dry rock) geothermal technology, you can get a little further away from earthquake zones.
Solar power adds energy to electrons that already exist.
There's Ubuntu.

I would argue that increasing the weight of an individual vote is a flaw, not a feature.
To me, the 'fairest' election is the one in which all votes are as equally influential as possible.
Hopefully people realize that I owe Stephen Wright an apology (rather than not understanding the form of the typical Chuck Norris jokes).

They spent $30 million on development in 2008 (I haven't found a public link to 2009). That allows for a pretty wide todo list.
I'm pretty sure it is better, but learning new habits sure does hurt.

That's still government by the people.
Read the article. They replaced it with a system where developers click a widget and fill in the justification for the access.
So this guy shot Chuck Norris in the face with a shotgun, and then he ended up in prison, because murder is illegal.

The movie was pushed back for something like a year getting the alien expressions to reflect human emotions and not look 'strange'.

The direct implants don't have anywhere near the limited resolution that the stuff that gets attached to the optic nerve has.
I imagine that we will both die before a neural implant has better resolution than just drawing on the retina with a laser.
Well, unless it could accurately respond to natural language queries (or even semi-structured queries).

You might as well toss in a request for a pony, and for world peace.
