I use my tabs as a replacement for bookmarks, for the most part. There are many sites that I simply use often, or pages want to visit at a moments notice whenever I wish. And some i'm saving for later (though I could conceivably use bookmarks for that, keeping it in a tab is just the easier/lazier way to do it).
With the use of several tab management add-ons, like tree-style tabs, extra tab options, session saving, two forms of tab grouping, automatic timed tab suspension to save resources etc, It has become quite convenient to not use bookmarks and have dozens of tabs to access at any time, without them necessarily being in the way or clogging my workflow very much. Granted, if I switched browsers, I would have to deal with using bookmarks more often, and having so many tabs loaded up really slows down my browsers cold-start time. But at the time, there's no way to use the browser any better without sacrificing saved webpages, or taking longer to access sites (which, to me, is the point of a browser).
I may be an uncommon use-case, I recognize that. And too be fair, I do hoard certain tabs that I'm likely to never look at for long enough to be too useful. I could likely cut out half of my saved tabs and lose nothing except that "what if..." feeling. But I wanna get the most out of my experience, and it's a LOT better than hoarding physical objects.
I would not consider something a right unless it can be granted and guaranteed by other people. Nobody can be 100% positive that you will have access to clean water or an ambulance/doctor, even if they sincerely want you do have it. They can however be sure that they won't try to enslave you, take away liberties, harm you for no reason, invade privacy, rob you etc etc. So I guess the distinction for me is, abstract concepts can be made into rights given out by a state. Physical materials or services can not, though they can be given as a basic utility or a baseline of luxury for a given population, if there is an ability and incentive to make that social contract (which I would definitely say there is).
Unless we should say that a government TRYING to grant a right is as important as guaranteeing one. They can certainly try to guarantee clean water and other basic amenities as rights, but I don't know if it holds the same credence. (though they don't try in some cases, like my uncle who can't afford water or electricity, though I'm not sure why he won't apply for welfare, having cancer and all).
You are obviously incorrect about cable being given out for free. But it's true, cable tv isn't a right, even Internet isn't a right. Hell, clean water and emergency care isn't a right. But access to near-necessities is something a government should be able to accommodate, for those who are down on their luck or just haven't had a pleasant life. Especially those who are working or trying to find work, but don't make enough to support themselves. You don't somehow "deserve" electricity, it's a (very important) luxury of modern society that you get to enjoy.
Still, your post does make a point about your world view, aside from the implied racism; What better way to ensure there will always be a lower class to belittle, than to deprive them of the same basic opportunities and utilities you have, eh? Works for the super rich with better jail sentencing and golden parachutes.
And you had better do it! We aren't running a peanut gallery over here, this is goddamn/. we're talkin about! If our scheduled themes aren't in ship shape... Why, we might as well just be posting on an image board! I expect the problem will be resolved by this Friday. Just don't let it happen again, we're counting on you.
I wish I could vote you up but I have commented already. I agree completely. Both of these parties cater too much to the extremes. We need MORE moderates, skeptics, people who see value in different viewpoints. I want an independent candidate to win so badly, but the way politics are set up to make the population want to split and fight each other is not the best way to politic.
I have mixed feelings about the execution, but the concept is top notch! Well done, solid B. Would have bumped it up to an A had the GOP not been framed as an arbiter of scientific fact.
And even if cars were used mainly for their computing and interfaces (which they aren't), and all the things you listed didn't matter, I'm pretty sure once almost every manufacturer started using the same platform (Windows), it started to be about the manufacturer again since the platform is assumed to always be the same.
Which isn't a good thing, but could easily happen again in car computer systems if one competitor "competes" too well. The entire premise of the article would be bunk.
Bah, who needs the Antarctic land ice anyway? Penguins? Screw em. If anything, several people would actually enjoy having the beach move closer to their homes. Less driving when they wanna go for a swim
I think it would be really neat if one day, there are systems and machines that can gather enough data about what's happening beneath the earths' crust, around the tectonic plates (especially high risk areas) that scientists can create models to forecast possible earthquakes and magnitudes for a given area, using probabilities just like in weather forecasting.
It makes sense that earthquakes don't JUST happen out of nowhere; perhaps there are a lot of realistic signs going on that science can use to see the likelihood of a nasty quake over the next n days. It might depend on strain or pressure, movement, how much slipping is happening, etc. If there is eventually thorough and accurate enough measurements available, perhaps then there will be some way of knowing the chances of an earthquake before one might happen. It probably wouldn't be a simple yes or no, but a weather forecasting approach could work. This company may not have enough data or they aren't using it correctly, so we might have to wait a while to iron out wrinkles.
I like the idea that we can be more than chimps, even if we don't always show it possible. Fighting instincts can be very helpful in social situations, when something can be truly gained from it.
This is how I feel about it, really... I agree with the idea of a non-negotiable starting salary. I feel like Pao may be a sneaky little snake and isn't to be completely trusted, but with the proper safeguards in place, this policy could be a welcome change. Safeguards like: A fair salary, can't be lowered suddenly before or after being hired. Salaries of all employees need to be reviewed once a year to detect discrimination No creation of a lower paid "new" position for certain workers (like those on Visa), when the job is essentially the same
Just things like this, to help keep the playing field level, and keep the pay about merit instead of non-related variables like confidence at a coding job.
That's the problem I have with alarmism. It's turning REAL issues into a 'boy who cried wolf' scenario, where facts are twisted, risks are overstated, harm is over-inflated, things are too immediate and too big to hold off any longer. That's not what a lot of people want to hear, especially when the evidence doesn't line up perfectly with predictions or claims. It makes them annoyed with the speaker, makes them lose trust, but most harmful of all, it decreases the willingness to accept and participate when real issues come up and sensible solutions are brought forward. Of course, some people will deny any science or topic regardless of how well-reasoned the argument is. They have someone telling them it is a scam and they don't care how much sense it makes. But still, alarmism hurts the perception of almost everyone, and It happens in everything from civil equality, climate change, poverty, etc to varying degrees. Real issues exist and should be handled with reason and compassion, but some people are constantly crying wolf over a fox, while others think that these particular wolves are imaginary altogether.
I don't totally disagree with Obama in that the climate is warming a changing climate CAN definitely cause big issues (dryer forests mean it's easier to start a fire, even if there's less vegetation to feed it). And mosquitoes, while not totally dependent on tropical climates, do tend to stick around longer where it's warmer. Same for seasonal allergies. I support measures taken to monitor and eventually alleviate issues that arise. But if he frames things in a way that makes it seem more catastrophic than it currently is, it can just cause more disbelief than cooperation.
You're forgetting the tachyons, sir. They know what move you'll make a second before you do, so it actually comes out to a negative latency for the player.
Animals can consent, as can children. Does not happen very often, no. And any consent they grant is almost certainly not informed consent. But it's not impossible for them to agree to things like that. It is still fucked up, regardless.

I prefer to use compressed video measurements.
That would be around 1/10th hour of compressed standard definition video per CSV file per LightSail.

How on earth could they possibly be getting any whiter?

Are those 3 metric dogs? If not, how do we convert it?
And how can we incorporate furlongs into this measurement?
I disagree, and therefore I am correct. Check MATE.
I know that was a stupid pun, but I promise I had a real point to prove. Unity is fantastic for people who's preferences may not mirror your own.
Well, we gotta do something to keep up with ever-improving robots and computers, right?
They would have to admit that the Earth isn't 6000 years old, first.

Are we talking metric Oklahoma's or should I be converting this into American football fields?

Well I heard on the news that we have IRREFUTABLE proof of WMD's, so maybe it's going to be worth it!
