"I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same." -Angus Young
Such bullshit!
While end-users do not seem to have picked up on this yet, "biometric" authentication is a security failure, and face recognition makes it even worse.
I warned about this long ago.
If you think it's bad someone can get your fingerprint while you sleep, wait until it's your face.
Wasn't it you who warned us that muggers would cut off fingers to get into stolen iPones?
Anyway, good luck handling the iPad without disabling the Face ID feature when you try to unlock it on that sleeper - remember that "bug" at the keynote that turned out to be security working?
It is however not hard to sneak upon a sleeping person, knock them unconscious and open their eyes.
Biometrics are identification not authentication, much less anything upon which authorization should be provided.
So? Do I have to link to the XKCD comic, or do we all still remember it?
This sounds more like the AnheiserBuschification of electronics. Less human care and oversight. More volume and automation. This ends with the Bud Light vat-wash of technology.
Hey, maybe it will be more like "Dude spends a lot on brewing equipment and then uses it once (if at all), and the result of that one attempt tastes like shit." AKA "home craft brewing".
Should have called bullshit on the original claim instead. The "40%" figure is based on a 2013 study looking at insect collections at a relatively small number of sites in Europe, most of which were either near or actually ON active farms. Trying to pretend that this is somehow indicative aof a global decline... that's just retarded.
Hey idiot. just look outside if there are less insects outside than 20 years ago. I call you are the bull.
You can set grass and trees on fire any summer I'd say.
Sure if the rain is falling right then it will be harder but... we haven't had such summers.
The problem is people are starting fires regardless. That's what make up the largest of the difference.
Ah, so you confirm that the problem isn't immigrants setting fire to the woods, it's that people start fires despite the drought cause by Global Warming. Thank you.
So is water - but that is missing in a drought. Despite all this CO2 "food" plants are looking damn miserable right now in many places all over the world.
But the longer you measure, and we haven't been measuring that long, you statistically expect new highs. That's just how the math works. You need wide-spread and decades-long measurements to make a conclusion.
You know jack shit about "how the math works". The easiest way to tell is that you obviously don't also expect new lows - funny, because the only new lows come from the likes of you, not from temperature.
Yeah, you just did that masterfully - by claiming that the decommissioning cost for one nuclear plant capacity worth of wind turbines is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and not mentioning that the decommissioning of that NPP actually costs an order of magnitude more. Not including the cost of storing its spend fuel, of course.
No, but I can tell you there is a $64 billion retirement/decommissioning/waste storage fund that was paid for by the nuclear power plant owners, even though all those costs combined are expected to be less than $46 billion. Do you know of a similar over-funded "retirement account" for wind turbines?
Well, for one we already know that decommissioning nuclear plants actually costs billions of dollars. That's why that fund exists - which BTW isn't holding enough at the current $64 billion, but will add at least another $40+ billion to fund the estimated costs (which don't include storage of spend fuel of course, just the plants). And remember, that's for the US alone, not world wide as claimed for wind energy by TFA.
I'm pretty sure it's called the tragedy of communism.
I'm pretty sure its called the tragedy of the commons, but I like your term better. I believe that communism is more accurate and I'm going to copy that from you in the future.

Please tell me those aren't coming back in style.
Just like pocket protectors, they've never gone out of style.

Fine, choke them till they pass out. It's not difficult to cut the blood flow to the brain.
As proven by you - somebody did it to you and you still post.

If I'm going to do it right, I'm going to do a solid statistical analysis, something this current story does not do.
Yeah, do that. And don't come back posting until you have a valid analysis. Bye forever.

Better pesticides? Most insects live directly or indirectly off of crops from farm land.
I call bullshit.
I think that Dilbert got it right -
That denialists are a bunch of PHBs?
Not a hoax, it's just not good science. We need about 200k years of detailed temperature data to really see how we're trending.
WTF? That's almost two complete ice ages ago. Not to mention we want to see the change humanity has or hasn't brought since the industrial revolution.
I say this because when I was a kid, the big thing was the coming ice age in our life times preached by the science of the times.
So you are 115,000 year old.
It's also plant food and most of us like plants.
So is water - but that is missing in a drought. Despite all this CO2 "food" plants are looking damn miserable right now in many places all over the world.
Are you going to compare the same time of records (all time versus daily)
Ooops - "type" of record, not time.
Where we have the largest fire in Sweden three fires started at ~the same time.
In Arboga they think 15 fires was started by someone within two days.
Which he couldn't have done if the forrest weren't so dry.
They won't believe that climate change is happening, because their God says it isn't.
Or worse, they believe it helps bring in the Apocalypse - yeah, Jesus time!
It's not, nobody said it was...
This guy said it:

I fail to find the quote you claim is in there - or was that another straw man you just set on fire?
You are wrong, there are new lows, here's from earlier this year:
Over 1,100 daily record low temperatures have been broken this week alone -- over 1,800 in the last 30 days, along with over 1,100 snow records.
Are you going to adjust your worldview now, or just pretend that didn't happen?
Are you going to compare the same time of records (all time versus daily) or are you going to stoop to new lows? Thanks for proving my point.
And yes there are still new all time time lows - it's just there are several orders of magnitude more new all time highs.
But the longer you measure, and we haven't been measuring that long, you statistically expect new highs. That's just how the math works. You need wide-spread and decades-long measurements to make a conclusion.
You know jack shit about "how the math works". The easiest way to tell is that you obviously don't also expect new lows - funny, because the only new lows come from the likes of you, not from temperature.
I don't think
That much is true. Apple of course also updated 10.12 and 10.11.
It's so easy to scaremonger with large numbers.

Go ahead - all it does is prove you're an idiot.

So next year the PC market will completely collapse - like coin mining.
