It's winter here. I could produce heat via a heater, or I could keep my feet warm with my graphics card instead. One of these options costs me money, the other earns me more than it costs.
"It sounds a lot like they took a self-selected list of target accounts that they selected (or. People they personally chose to try and censor) and had a bot continuously spam any place those people tried to speak."
You can see this a lot on every post that President Trump posts. There will be five or 6 posts from the same bot posting pre-formatted replies against him before anyone else has had a chance to post anything.
You mean the Sweden which is currently going down the shitter due to mass immigration of young wifeless men mostly from a religion that considers raping and murdering infidels not only ok but GOOD?
Veganism/vegetarianism is a viable dietary strategy for humans, but it requires a lot more knowledge of nutrition in order to get all the amino acids we require than is required by just eating a steak every once in a while. It also has much less calories by volume than a diet with animal derived proteins and fats.
The only non-meat complete protein I can think of off the top of my head is the native American combo of corn beans and squash, and even with that the corn has to be nixtamalised in order to free niacin and prevent pellagra
Just remembered, it was called a Beyond Burger. And according to the googles it's actually a lot more expensive than I remembered, so fuck that. $12/lb is not a good price point for competing with beef, although I think it's probably tolerable for catering to the vegans.
I was given a sample of an incredibly ok faux meat at whole foods a few months back. I don't remember the name of it, because, well, I eat real meat, but it was a very decent beef imitation, and if they can bring the cost down to less than real meat I could see myself eating faux-burgers from now own. (Unfortunately it was like 1.25 times the cost of actual ground beef FROM WHOLE FOODS, which is already an inflated meat price compared to other grocers)
Ha, I tried it just now and was wondering where the fuck the volume was. That is an unacceptable lack of an extremely basic feature. See, on a PC, I have different programs which may be producing noises at the same time. If I turn up the system volume it affects ALL those programs at once. That is not an acceptable method for changing the volume on a FUCKING MUSIC PLAYER. I shouldn't have to blast my ears into deafness from notification dings, bleeps, clangs, and plarbfts in order to turn up the volume on my music.
"They'll issue a retraction, half the people will hear that, then half of those will remember there was a retraction."
The thing with this is that if it was an occasional error, it could conceivably be a mistake, but when, as it is now, it's a consistent reliable pattern of behaviour, it is pretty clearly a method of propaganda.
Step 1: Tell a whopper of a lie. Let it get in everyone's minds. Step 2: Issue a retraction that 20% of the original group will see, if that. (And let's be serious here, your estimate of 50% is preposterously optimistic.) Step 3: The other 80% of people that didn't see the retraction (or wilfully ignored it due to previous examples of this technique influencing their internal narratives) use this whopper to fuel the fires of hysteria and reinforce their pre-existing biases.
So, what's the goal here? To introduce biases into people, and reinforce them in people where they exist already. Where do we most see this shit going on? Personally, I see it the most in anti-Trump "news", especially in the Russia collusion BS.
Er, pretty sure that homonyms aren't well covered by phonics, what with phonics being about sounding words out, and homonyms being words that sound the same despite having different meaning.
They never got a free wire. Never. Know why? Because I paid for it. Every single netflix customer already paid their ISP for Netflix to use that wire.
They're not trying to get justly compensated for Netflix "freeloading". They're trying to double dip on what we already fucking pay for, and make Netflix seem like the bad guy if they have to jack up their prices.
Then when Netflix goes out of business because customers aren't willing to pay the ISP twice to watch it, guess who's sitting there in the wings with their own shittier streaming services? THE FUCKING ISPS!
Tell you what, you give us voter ID laws, we'll give you automatic registration. Compromise! And it's not like plenty of first world countries don't already have voter ID laws in place with no issues of suppression resulting. Those kooky Canadians for instance.
So assuming each extension runs its own miner, that seems like a pretty bad idea in terms of resource drain, especially for power users who run lots of extensions. If we assume the browser runs one miner and each extension gets a share, what determines that share? Does a simple extension like DNS saver deserve the same share as something like NoScript? What do you do about extensions trying to game their share or disable/break other extensions?
I think it'd probably be easiest and smartest to just stick to asking for donations or payment.
I apologize for being that guy, but it has apps! It's revolutionary! Revolutionary apps for your revolutionary paradigms that allow you to synergise your technology enabled lifestyle! Now with integrated fitbit support so you can burn off that candy bar as you eat it! Eat it on the go to keep up with the fast paced modern world! With apps!
Opera was the best browser around through version 12. It was when they turned into a chrome clone that they turned into shit. Maybe Mozilla could learn a lesson from that...
Hmmm, you missed the part where Muslims would be unable to commit terror attacks in the west after they all get deported and some Trumpian walls get built.
Actually, the supreme court has repeatedly affirmed that the right to anonymity is an essential aspect of the right to free speech. See McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commision (1995) for a famous example.
Also, suck it.
If you think you can cover up weed stink you are sadly mistaken. I can smell a stoner within 10 feet on a bad day. Closer to 50-100 sometimes.
And no amount of air freshener, baking soda, or febreze is going to hide that smell.

SystemD actually does that?!?!?! I would be so incredibly fucking full of rage if my tmux session got killed when i logged off.

It's kind of entertaining.

I think your example kinda sucks there, bub.

$6/lb, sorry. I could have sworn there was an edit post button here back when...

There's also the national concealed carry reciprocity. That was a petition along with repealing the NFA.

Because the barrier to entry is so high not even Google can afford to do so in most cities.
No, he was required to appoint a Republican. He didn't have to choose an ISP mouthpiece/lobbyist as the one he appointed.
