If you want to have ethical journalism, how about not starting out by taking other people's money away to fund your own pet project? And how about reporting facts instead of speculation as news? How many times have we seen during the entire Mueller Russia hoax sensational headlines and "bombshell" statements from anonymous sources, with most stories ending with "So far no evidence of Russia collusion has been found." Apparently being ethical to these guys means writing all the agitprop that's unfit to print.
I'm west of Detroit. I'd prefer dark in the morning when I'm driving to work than dark at night when I'm driving home. Even after falling back, it's still dark in the morning eventually.
But going forward, more and more politicians will have the same thing apply - people will judge them based on what they have actually said and done instead of what the media claims about them. You can even see that with newer politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - she gets a lot of flak from the right, but you can watch a lot of video from her that is fairly reasonable, so the calls that she is crazy do not really stick.
Not sure who's calling her crazy, but from what I've seen, she's pretty dumb. I think she gets a pass because she's fairly attractive, and a useful idiot for their agenda. For instance, there's this gem: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrong on several counts about unemployment
There are dozens of similar claims she's made like this. As Murray Rothbard said "It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance."
That was just an example. Which one are you stuck on?
He incapable as a human being of being.. [expletive deleted] I don't even know the a good word to use... decent?
Do I think Trump's decent? Not really--I wish act more dignified. From what I've seen though, it's usually the left that is behaving indecently, whether it's the women's march, the histrionics over the Kavanaugh hearing, or some of their upstanding elected officials. You can't claim the moral high ground here.
Trump is a lying SOB.. anyone still in denial is a moron. He is likely the worst human being that we've ever put in a federal position.
Trump's lies are largely inconsequential. Does it really matter if he claims he has the largest crowd at his inauguration? By contrast, FDR put over 100,000 American citizens in concentration camps.
I have a 17" MBP too, and have refused to even consider buying a new one with the current sizes. I like some of the suggestions you made, however, you seem to be mixing software & hardware features together.
perhaps a touch screen
Gimicky & would run up cost. There's no real advantage to a touch screen on a laptop, it is an inferior method of input compared to the keyboard & mouse.
true function keys - if you want add a glowing touch bar on top of it, I don't mind
I have a touchbar on my 2018 15" MacBook Pro at work, and don't find it useful at all. Just function keys without the touchbar would be preferable.
perhaps: display the content of one window on a external screen/projector (I have dozens of ideas like this and wonder why no one does that)
It can already do that, unless I don't understand what you mean.
When I was a lowly stock boy at Kmart many many moons ago, I had to listen to the same loop of music and advertisements for hours on end.
I was once a stock clerk at Kmart too. It seems to me there were 10 songs on the loop, and I didn't like any of them to start with. Crap like "Once Upon A Time" by the Moody Blues and "Tender Roni" by Bobby Brown. After a few weeks, I loathed those songs. At least most of the stuff they play at Starbucks when I go in there is unremarkable background noise jazz.
If you don't believe Stefan Molyneux and folks of his ilk were chiefly upset about TFA because they felt it was feminist propaganda, I'm not sure what to tell you.
Maybe it's a lot of people reacting to this. I can't find the original quote, but this was from some random website:
Now, as you may have heard, Brie Larson recently said she wants to make the movie's press tour a little more inclusive so it's not just middle-aged white guys. In other words, the actress wants more women and people of colour in attendance. But her remarks have been taken out of context, and some fans believe that she's saying she doesn't want them to see the movie.
I remember reading the original quote, thinking it was a bit hostile toward white males. I think the text above waters it down a bit. I'll probably go see Captain Marvel, since it's part of the larger picture, and because I'm not thin skinned. One of the privileges of being a White Cisgendered Male, I guess.
I love meat... But I'm not sure I could go 100% meat, I mean cheese is pretty good too.
Forgot a >. Here's the link I meant to include: Ketogenic Diet. It's actually the fat that helps. Carnivore is also a high fat diet, even though it's only meat.
I love meat... But I'm not sure I could go 100% meat, I mean cheese is pretty good too.
Keto? You can do meat, cheese, lots of vegetables, etc. Like the Carnivore diet, it is also supposed to help with autoimmune & inflamation, as well as diabetes. My wife & I have been doing it for about a month now. We aren't super-strict, but have greatly reduced our carbs. I've lost about 4 lbs per week, she's been losing about 2. The great thing is we're not even tempted when coworkers bring sweets to the office. The first week can be kind of hard, but after that it's easy.
It's arthritis, and not the kind you get from old age. Thanks for trying to diagnose me over the internet though, obviously I never bothered to see an actual doctor about it.
Have you ever head of the Carnivore Diet? Supposedly it is good as an anti-inflammatory/auto-immune diet, even better than Keto.
Valid arguments against basic income are economical, not moral. There is legitimate concern about the inflationary effects of society-wide basic income.
Is forcibly taking money from one person who works and giving it to someone who doesn't is morally acceptable?
Seriously, folks, when you see a story too crazy to believe, that's probably because it's false. Please don't be so gullible. This goes for you left wing folks too, unless it's something insane that Trump or Steve King supposedly said/tweeted. In that case, well, experience shows it's probably true.
I'm a libertarian, so I don't trust any of them. However, I often find the accusations of what Trump said/tweeted is mischaracterized. Take for instance the time he asked Russia if they could find Hillary's missing emails. It was clearly a joke, and anyone who claims to not understand this is either lying or stupid. They're the same ones who will mod this down to maintain their narrative.
This just in, Apple has handed over iCloud data over to law enforcement. Same Apple that said they never would, that refused to help the FBI get data from a mass shooter's phone in California. They now turned over data with a simple single request.
The Gateway Pundit article is misleading. Apple refused to unlock the phone of the shooters, but did turn over their iCloud information after being served a warrant. Same as they did with Stone. AppleInsider's story is more informative:
The information provided on Stone is the same type of information that Apple provided from the San Bernardino shooter's device from 2016 after a warrant was served. Unlike the San Bernardino iPhone 5C, a device unlock has not been requested for Stone's devices, nor has one been performed.
People should however demand higher standards of the software they buy to entrust with critical aspects of their lives. But the fact is people are willing to accept poor standards in software, and make that choice on a regular basis.
We have the unfortunate situation where software developers can't predict every possible way things could go wrong, and many bugs tend not to surface even after testing. If Apple shipped & knew this was a problem, that would be one thing, if they didn't it's another.
Yes. To get up and running with learning the basics, it is, especially since it's syntax is very similar to many other programming languages, like C and C++. That's the biggest reason I'd choose that as a learning language over Python. You can learn conditional logic, loops, arrays, strings, variable scope, functions, order of precedence, etc., without having to worry about learning strong variable typing, memory allocation, pointers or advanced data structures. Those subjects are all important, but they're just not necessary to learn the basics.
I loathe Java only slightly less than I loathe Visual Basic. I just wish they hadn't changed the name from LiveScript to JavaScript for marketing purposes. Like any programming language, it has it's good points and bad points, but IMHO, it's the best language for learning programming fundamentals. All you need is a browser & a text editor.

Censorship of any kind is wrong.
So you read /. @ -1? I know I don't unless I have mod points.

Yep, just like Reagan somehow "was" both an evil mastermind and an imbecile, all at the same time.
The imbicile part was all a ruse.

I use that combo at least 100 times a day. And Ctrl-Tab for web browser tab switching.
I've found myself using Windows-Tab more often now since it uses Task Manager. Often times much quicker for me than Alt-Tab.

It seems like real propaganda sites would be much more effective than fake ones.

It seems like you could throw this off by simply putting a lift on one shoe, walking with your hands in your pockets, etc.
