But he's a Democrat, so nothing matters. Different standards. It's so important that he be judged by different standards the media won't even give you the information you need to make any other judgement.
Someone told these kids a story about the future and they believed it. Childrens' belief in stories about the future is not a reason to do anything one way or another.
People should stop pretending they know the future. They don’t.
A portion of stores I do business with are cashless.... All supermarkets I go to have cash free lanes with the option of a few select slow lines where I pay cash.
Apple could do more toward their own goal by easing up a little bit and using those resources to create a cheaper low end model of the phone. Have people buy a 95% purity-test phone instead of whatever Xiaomi or OnePlus are selling.
No amount of effort will get environmental zealots' approval anyway.
You want me to use clean water...which is scarce enough that it has its own problems...to wash my garbage so someone can make money off of it by selling it to China? If you want to sell my garbage, you find a way to clean it yourself.
Recycle water from the toilet to wash your plastic. It's your green obligation. The Earth thanks you.
Controversy and disappointment for another ritual of the green religion today. It's almost like these schemes designed by people with a deep emotional need to feel good about themselves are all completely pointless.
These guys keep saying "open" and then they keep complaining about what others do with the source. Open means you don't get to control what other people do.
Google has been using this model for YouTube for over a year now. Twitter and Facebook too. Blacklists are back around the world as a way to exercise power.

But somehow, the cops get it wrong again and again, with the result that they shoot innocent people again and again. Why are the cops held to a lower standard than the rest of us, when they have such a higher level of power and authority? That's ass-backwards.

You can see it starting already. (I won't take the Portland extremists' side in this, but I won't take the police side either. If police refuse to reform themselves then they should be disbanded and replaced with a new force organized to actually protect and serve the people.)

If he was a Republican, you'd be hearing:
- He's the son of a judge
- Went to boarding school
- Dodged burglary and DUI charges
- He married into a Billionaire family
But he's a Democrat, so nothing matters. Different standards. It's so important that he be judged by different standards the media won't even give you the information you need to make any other judgement.
They'll sacrifice you and your lifestyle, as long as they get to keep theirs.

It would be on demand and casual rather than "set aside an hour for a focused lesson" sitting at a desk.
Where’s the interactive, conversational app that teaches me Chinese by talking about current events and correcting my pronunciation?

What country? Not the US.
Here's how you predict things correctly:
1. Start with things as they are
2. Predict they will change only a little.
That's how you get correct predictions. Nobody wants to publish them though.
The big changes that would be interesting enough to publish in an article are too few. You won't guess them.
Being angry at someone because he likes his laptop.
Agreed. No amount of effort will ever satisfy critics. No one should bother trying. Just ignore them.
What about [made up story]?

Old man yells at cloud.
What did they expect?
To feel good about themselves on a budget. It succeeds perfectly.

Trump doesn't seem to like the NSA or FBI very much. That could theoretically be a false flag, but I think they actually just don't like each other.
Obama liked it fine. Good thing we have Trump now.
Because authorities are mostly useless and only exist to collect paychecks.

Agreed. Anti-vaxers are wrong, but book burning isn't the answer.
Computer chips are tech, tortilla chips aren't.

Nothing can ever shake the faith.
Are all NYT reporters this full of themselves? Or is this particular person just pretending because it makes for a more dramatic essay?

Because they don’t give a shit about the safety of non-police.
They don’t care because they don’t have to.
