Are people with weight problems even the ones complaining? I'm starting to get the impression that it's people who think it will hurt other people's feelings that started this nonsense.
It may be flamebait, but not necesarially in the way you inferred. My take away was that people who are so pitifully weak-minded that being told how many calories they would burn walking turns them into screaming crybabies are the problem.
It was a good, useful and sensible feature. Now it's gone because Google listened to idiots that should only be ignored.
Which they easily could have done with what is clearly a beta feature. Instead they got rid of it all together. Why? The only explanation I can come up with is the nature of the complaints. Nonsense about fat-shaming and "triggers".
It was a good idea and a good feature. I bet a lot of people would have loved it. But it hurt the feelings of some over-sensitive idiots, so now nobody can use it.
And in a perfect world, we wouldn't have to worry about strategic advantages in zero sum games and NASA could just be for exploration. Then again, NASA only exists because we couldn't let the USSR gain a literal upper hand.
Okay, you have a good point. But if you want Congress to allocate more resources to NASA, then telling them a competitor is going to get an upper hand is traditionally an effective approach.
Bureaucratic incompetence? We're talking about a phone company that doesn't have accurate records of it's own internal lines. I can't tell you how many times I've called for business support and been transferred to out-of-service numbers; or been transferred to residential support (who can't help) then back to business support who send out a tech that never shows up or calls saying they can't find the location (because they don't keep track?), or when they show up a day late it turns out they're the wrong kind of tech and can't do anything.
They're too big to change direction, fix their collapsing internal structure, or provide service in a timely manner (they need at least a month to setup an install!). I don't really understand how they're still in business, let alone being one of the largest corporations in the world. Its only inertia that keeps it going at all.
But I'm venting. I have not had many positive experiences with AT&T.
I see this headline and I start thinking maybe I should look into the viability of pushing my staff towards using Edge. I don't know why I thought there might be useful information in the comments on an article about a Microsoft program, but I'm half-asleep so I took a look. What a waste of time. 100 people saying they hate Microsoft and that Win10 is spyware.
Nothing brings out the crybabies, trolls and flamers to chase away any substance like an article about something Microsoft.
Building in free fall and on the bottom of a gravity well are two very different things, no? But that's besides the point, I only brought it up as an example of what we could get out of it.
In the 90's, Hillary was very liberal and Sanders was a joke. He wasn't to the left of most Democrats, he was so much farther to the left of every Democrat that he needed to look right with a telescope just to see them. In 2016, Hillary was center-left, even center-right on a number of economic issues, and Sanders wasn't just being taken seriously, he was drawing massive crowds and giving her a real challenge.
The GOP, on the other hand, swung back and forth, even finding itself just to the left of center for a minute.
Yes, the popular notion is that the GOP has been the ideologically pure and extreme party, pulling everything to the right. But the data contradicts that. Turns out that it's just a trick of perspective - if you're moving to the left, it looks like everyone else is moving to the right.
The Democrats have been moving further and further to the left since at least the mid 90's. Republicans move in both directions. At least that's what Pew says: http://www.people-press.org/20...
And it continues. Right now, ideological consistency is all on the Left, and not near the center. If the GOP was as far right as you suggest, the ACA would have been repealed by now. If the Left was as centrist as you think, they wouldn't be talking about single-payer healthcare or sanctuary cities. Or look at the presidential primaries - Sanders is the farther to the left than any other Democrat politician, and the only Republican who approaches being as far to the right as Sanders is to the left would probably be Rand Paul. Paul got nowhere in the Primaries. Bernie did much better. The extreme far left candidate was doing so well that the centrist candidate cheated to get rid of him. The GOP picked the least ideological candidate since at least Eisenhower.
That said, I don't like what the FCC is doing (but I'm with the ideologically impure party), and I think this is a case where the standard GOP approach to regulation is inappropriate. Not corrupt or evil like you're suggesting, that's ridiculous. The GOP's default position is always that regulation and price controls can make things worse and thus should be kept to a minimum. Being wrong in this case is not a sin.
If we were only talking about landing a pod and grabbing some rocks I'd agree. But if they're talking about semi-permanent settlement, then we have to do the same.
Think of it as a way to test and improve our designs and construction techniques for low-gravity, low-pressure, environments while staying within resupply/rescue range.
Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human, by KW Jeter, has it as distorted German (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_2:_The_Edge_of_Human):
The etymology of the term "blade runner" is revealed to come from the German phrase bleib ruhig, meaning "remain calm." It was supposedly developed by the Tyrell Corporation to prevent news about replicants malfunctioning
You should have read the Heritage paper instead of just linking it. It requires having insurance, and it taxes employer provided benefits as income (the ACA only does that for "Cadillac" plans). Pretty much everything else is different. Like credits instead of direct subsidies, structured to encourage out-of-pocket spending so as to repair market feedback, serious Medicaid/Medicare reforms, it explicitly contradicts the employer mandate, it gives no subsidies to insurers, and so on and so on.
To be awesome? Seriously, what are our goals with the ISS, with going to Mars, with any extra-terrestrial endeavor? Discovery, expansion, doing something impressive as a nation, finding new and unexpected goals, and yes, because we can't let a competitor get an advantage over us.
One of the big problems in health care is that most consumers have no idea how much anything costs because insurance masks prices. Having Amazon butt in could help repair the broken market feedback mechanisms that keep costs in check, doing far more good for consumers than any feedback-breaking government "help" ever could.
I could swear that HT was a feature of all their chips since the last generation of Pentiums. When did that stop? Or am I wrong about all chips having it?

Only half the population can have an IQ under 100. It's the average.

What the hell was ironic about that?
It's one version of a German chipmaker's RSA library that has the flaw. I'd say the odds favor accident.
Okay, you have a good point. But if you want Congress to allocate more resources to NASA, then telling them a competitor is going to get an upper hand is traditionally an effective approach.
Wait, you say they aren't doing that? They're raising prices and not improving anything?
Oops.

The Russian government tries to break into US companies all the time.
Symantec protects many US companies.
Letting them read the code for the software that protects their targets might not be a good idea.

I thought they did, but I never have Intel money so I guess I never looked hard enough. Thanks for the answer.

Slight, nit-picky, correction - games with a lot of AI processing. Not necessarily 3D.
