"If one of these ocean-top communities were to get parked near New York City, for example, the floating community could be treated as a new borough..."
I could already see the social hysteria free floating migrants that gain citizenship by relocating their island would cause.
I think New Yorkers would mind more if that floating island was part of New Jersey.
The scooters don't share your location with LA, they share their location. Only the scooter company tracks where you are going - which you somehow don't care about.
When your nuclear plant is situated along the Columbia River, which drains about 1/4 of North America into the Pacific, you aren't likely to run out of water any time soon.
You can still have trouble with ice floes, or other debris or plain flooding.
Folding the display on the outside of the phone is going to expose the glass to all the abrasive stuff in your pocket/bag.
Yes, true.
So doesn't the Samsung idea seem good? A simple durable display on the outside, and the more delicate screens folded against each other for protection?
That can mean protection for the folding area as well.
But the screen(s) aren't folded against each other, they only touch at the outer edge. IOW they don't fold in as much as they bend about as much that a ball point refill will fall right through.
Measles can kill you. The mortality under very best conditions is 1 out of a thousand. Complications may include pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis (either viral bronchitis or secondary bacterial bronchitis), and brain inflammation.[64] Brain inflammation from measles has a mortality rate of 15%. While there is no specific treatment for brain inflammation from measles, antibiotics are required for bacterial pneumonia, sinusitis, and bronchitis that can follow measles.
I guess having a cell phone that opens like a paperback book increases usability/viewing area but is anybody looking at turning something the size of a USB thumb drive into a full sized cell phone by unrolling it in the vertical ("Y") direction?
Not with the current bending radius. Rolling would be more feasible.
"Deflecting" and "destroying" are two different strategies to avoid collision with an asteroid - and "destroying" has long been seen as the worse one for that matter.
"'No Touch' is requested by BPA when unusually hot or cold weather increases the demand for electricity,
Those shutdowns were because of a lack of water to cool the plant. Also, all power plants, nuclear or not have to use water for dumping excess heat. Its why power plants of all types are so often put by large bodies of water. Those heatwave shutdowns had nothing to do with the nuclear aspect of those plants.
That's exactly his point: when NPPs are just as susceptible to shutdowns during extremely cold or hot weather as other plants, they are just as useless to rely on to provide emergency power under those conditions. Just more costly.

Wouldn't have happened with wireless headphones.

You think rich people are going to live on 4 acres with 300 other people?
Are you fucking retarded?
Is 300 not enough servants?
Bluetooth was never designed to transmit stereo sound.
Neither was the headphone jack. Both were later changed to do so.
Exactly. They bought a product with non-replaceable batteries. Have they been living under a rock? What did they think would happen?
If only there was a way to power phones using a cable instead of relying on batteries.

If it can be played, it can be screencaptured, reencoded and shared. Load of bollocks the whole drm thing is.
Besides the loss of quality there's a decent chance the account information is added to the visuals with subband coding.
Wait, what? The image quality suffers notably, but the hidden info in the image stays intact?
Can't wait to say "We're #1!"
In oppression. Surveillance. Civilian control.
Clinical Paranoia.

Everyone come back here in 3 years on this date, and then we'll evaluate if 16GB of RAM is enough!
Heck, go back 2.5 years and read that 16 GB isn't enough: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/16/10/28/2010202/new-macbook-pros-max-out-at-16gb-ram-due-to-battery-life-concerns
Slashdot confirms that Macs are too damn upgradeable.
Funny how only Apple locks you into their more than a decade not used DRM - and all others just abandoned the support a decade ago.
Chrome now comes pre-loaded with all Google tracking JavaScripts!
Possibly this is some kind of bombing issue.

Yeah, supposedly some guy yelled "Sex to the Incels!" while touching a sex bomb.
Southwest, and I think American have both said they don't think anything is fundamentally wrong with the plane.
Well, they say the same about their service, so ...

Sounds like yours will be the first house looted next time there is a major power disruption.
Yeah, I can see the looters taking his power home.

You forgot Deep Freeze Spawns Rare Frazil Ice That Hobbles Nuclear Reactor - and that happened just a month ago (and not in regulated Europe).
CFCs reduce Ozone, not cloud cover.
They are also highly potent greenhouse gases.
