I mean, is it a "song"? Using the sequential digits of pi as seeds for triggering what is more or less a cascade of music isn't, in my view, a "song" any more than a wind-chime randomly dinging some noise all in the right key because those are the only notes available.
That's what this is, really: electronica wind chimes. I like electronica (for example, I often listen to http://youarelistening.to/minn...) but while pleasant, soothing, and all those things - still not really a SONG.
President != country. Largely, US presidents have *ALWAYS* been elected based on domestic concerns by an increasingly narcissistic and poorly educated electorate, ever more prone to demagoguery. (And I"m not just talking about the MAGA side, either.)
Shrug. Trump's a boob and a nincompoop. He's not the 'bringer of end times child of satan' that the left-leaning media machine likes to portray (and gullible foreigners like to swallow).
Just like Clinton, who was far more absorbed with getting head than being the Head of State, the US economy flourishes when the president is more absorbed in getting in twitter flame-wars than governing.
I didn't vote for him, but if the choice was/solely/ between a skilled, polished, malignance like Clinton or an ineffective stupid narcissist like Trump, I would have. She would have been far more danger to the US fundamentally than him - think cancer vs full-body eczema.
The UK "developed their own nuclear weapons"...eh, sort of. The Quebec Agreement had enshrined close US/UK cooperation on atomic weapons throughout the war and just after, when the US essentially unilaterally said "ok we're done" 1947? 1948?...so by and large UK scientists had the combined foundation of theoretical work completed, only the technical execution (and fissionable material supplies) to wrangle with.
And about your overall position....so you believe the public should be heavily armed as the police? I mean, since the police having a monopoly on power would "inevitably" mean they are a bully, yes? That's just weird, man.
"...Current and former security officials in the U.S. and allied governments now worry that these cables are increasingly vulnerable to espionage or attack..."...by OTHER people.
I know US submariners that have talked vaguely about high tech cable-tapping missions since the 1990s.
So it's not so much a "OMG they're vulnerable" as "crap those guys can perhaps do it now too" thing.
I'd be happy with a lawmaker that just read their own flipping emails, instead of having them printed out and laying on their desk each morning.
The average age of congress is 59 (House 58, Senate 62); this means that these people were forming their basic political ideas/views during the Cold War, the mid 70s oil crisis, post-Vietnam malaise as well as economic stagnation in the US, if not earlier.
FWIW average age of UK's house of commons is 50. House of lords is 70. Curiously this puts parliament OLDER than the US Congress at avg 61 due to the crazy number of eligible lords (800). Germany's bundestag is avg 50. France's parliament is 49.
26% HAVEN'T read a single book in the last year. I know this doesn't represent all reading - my wife, for example, isn't really into books, but reads substantial, magazine-format articles like Science News or The Economist voraciously, pretty much every evening.
But the idea of not reading a book in a year, my delightful spouse notwithstanding, is crazy for me. It's nuts if I haven't finished a book in the past 2-3 days.
My thought exactly. As usual, it's probably a confluence of both factors.
Certainly, a smoother, prettier experience is going to make the game more enjoyable, and more "fun" to play for the quantities of time it takes to get very good...but realistically, the top end graphics cards are $600+ on top of the price of a computer worth running it (just having a great video card alone means you're just going to be bottlenecked elsewhere), probably $1200-$1500 base.
The only people dropping $2k on a desktop today are going to ALREADY be dedicated game-players whose habits already justify buying such a machine.
Not everyone believes in your particular cause of the day, and eventually, they'll get sick of being milked at the barrel of a gun to pay your secular Indulgences.
The fact that you (deliberately) built strawmen to argue about, made it into a political side-bias point, and attacked the semantics rather than recognizing the point of the comment beyond that...proves that you're precisely part of the problem.
Thanks for making my point. You're EXACTLY the sort of tendentious person who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near anyone else's free speech constraints.
It's a pretty fine line between "preventing disinformation" and quashing free speech and dissent.
Is UKIP saying "Britain will be better off after Brexit" disinformation? Is Trump saying "some illegal immigrants commit heinous crimes in the USA" disinformation? Are directed wikileaks exposures disinformation? Is truth a defense?
...with Disney+, Hulu, Amazon, etc Netflix is losing more and more interesting content and all these walled gardens are just going to drive people back to piracy anyway.
The study's a joke. The question we should be asking: why is Netflix wanting to portray itself as a victim? Studies like this propaganda don't come from nowhere, we have to look at who benefits (assuming people believe this crap)*. What I'd guess is that if Netflix can seem to be a victim it's going to get: - less legislative scruitiny - some leverage perhaps against tiered internet traffic charges that lean against them...I'm sure there are others.
*I mean, I guess it's possible that someone comes out with a study that's SO ridiculous that people immediately react against it as a sort of false-flag...but I think that's overplaying it if someone ever really tried it...
Between $6 avocado toast or Starbucks coffee, kickstarter, and stupid crap like tipping people for bloviating on the web, I'm starting to doubt that millennials are struggling quite as much a they claim.
They weren't reviews. They were "do you want to see this film" that a clickbaity blogger parsed as "review bombing of our feminist victory film" and the activist left-wing media has gotten triggered themselves into righteous snow(flake)storm.
That they don't even understand fundamentally what they are angry about is really the ironic icing on the cake.

Yeah well slashdot USED to be MAINLY about technology. Now it's just a tech-flavored political thing.
Lighten up, Francis.

Your point is what?
The FAA has banned the flying of plane, isn't that what they were supposed to do?
"...Current and former security officials in the U.S. and allied governments now worry that these cables are increasingly vulnerable to espionage or attack ..." ...by OTHER people.

I'm sure this won't insulate people even FURTHER into their own personalized bubbles of self-confirmatory groupthink.
Hint: in a democracy, sometimes people say shit you disagree with
and
Hint: Sometimes people say things that hurt your feelings. Sometimes deliberately! It's your job as a grownup to ignore them.
Because *everything* is justified in the resistance to the election result of 2016.

Have we seen his body, and has whatever we've seen been proved to be him?
....because physics is racis.
Again, you seem to be arguing against what YOU WANTED/EXPECTED me to say, rather than my actual words.
I didn't say shut up. I didn't say you shouldn't speak.
I said that your obvious tendentiousness means you should never be anywhere near the controls of 'what's free speech or not'.
L2read.
Anyone who's protested nuclear power should be prohibited from receiving it.

Sounds like that's not an ash pile, it's a gold mine.
It would perfectly, until the revolution.

"Kinda like Guantanamo or the no fly list."
Actually, those both actually have a due process:

and

Ps: where is my tip for this puissant wisdom?
Global avg surface temp is 15 deg C (14.9) that gives us a water vapor pressure of 12.8 torr
According to http://www.wiredchemist.com/ch... ..if we increase temps by 8C that raises that to 21 torr.
I rather expect that increasing the vapor pressure of water by 64% will increase cloud formation substantially?
