The Netflix streaming started as a free bonus, too. We've had Prime for a while and are just starting to actually use the video part here and there... we tried out HBO Now and it was nice, although we cancelled after GoT was over. The catalog is a bit thin to subscribe year-long, especially since you can binge through a show pretty quickly. The binging thing Netflix has encouraged certainly seems like an interesting wrench in the gears of normalcy for the 'old powers' to deal with.
If the studio doesn't want to sell Netflix DVDs to rent out, they can buy them at Walmart and pay the compulsory licensing. Not so with streaming, hence the disparity.
I've worked in a food quality assurance lab, and one interesting test is called the 'water activity test'. Moisture level of the food is tested after it is produced. If it was made to spec, it will be dry enough that there isn't enough free water for it to spoil. If it is too wet then they test that lot more heavily for spoilage organisms. Most high acid foods won't grow pathogens, so it isn't a safety issue, just a taste and stability issue.
Heavily salted or sweetened foods have low free water, which is why historical techniques for preserving food involved large amounts of either, or both. It's why if you have fresh berries they don't last long, but preserves last a great long time, and dried berries last even longer.
Sounds pretty likely, you can set up parental features that let you track your children and so on. Not sure how much granularity there is to it, but probably pretty fine.
This can be especially frustrating for what would otherwise be basically unbranded goods. I was looking for beeswax, but the reviews ranged from perfect to "not really beeswax" with little way to tell what vendors were selling good product. I suppose it is better for the local economy I got it at a local farmer's market instead, but certainly Amazon and any reputable sellers trying to sell on Amazon were disadvantaged by the disorder.
The Saudis will continue to have "assets, power in the world, and religious influence in the region." Maybe the royal family there could get the axe from a populist movement, but as a whole they'll never recede in prestige. Look out how Christian fundamentalists millenialists talk about Israel.
My understanding from John Oliver's show is that one reason there isn't good data on gun violence is that the CDC is not allowed to fund studies pertaining to it. The parties with private money to put towards research are probably few and biased one way or another.
Yeah I was confused... a drum magazine versus a bullpup... different textures... maybe a computer artist can chime in with how one could look stolen from the other?
I wonder what the median would be... we usually watch about an hour in the evening once we get the kids to bed. I can't imagine watching 4.5 hours. Even when we had a newborn and no energy to do anything but sit in front of the TV, 2 hours (or a little over for a movie) was about as much as we ever did.
But as the post you are replying to indicated, it can be seen as problematic in how to describe history other than as a series of dates. If we want to go into more detail for the American Civil War than "this happened on these dates" then we will be describing opinions as to why. Some states will be fine with describing it as the "war of northern aggression" others as "the war to liberate the slaves" and others in between.
You're just using the virus as a big syringe, you don't make it such that it can replicate itself. The patient won't be able to transfer T-cells to anyone with a competent immune system. For those compromised enough to be colonized by foreign T-cells... they're at death's door anyhow.
It is still potentially falsifiable, though. Since these formulae are all interrelated you can corroborate that the model matches for related phenomena. Then you can look for edge cases where it might break down and then further refine things.
This is about Craigslist, which is essentially an electronic newspaper Classified section, so these are private persons interacting with one another. So credit cards are out, and due to the prevalent use of those, most people rarely carry enough cash on them for the sorts of large purchases these scams target, like vehicles. A check can be cancelled, but if you show up to shady guy's motorcycle ad with $6k and he holds you up and steals it, then you've a lot more trouble ever seeing that money again.
The benefit for me for the streaming is that the algorithms find me music I'd like so I don't have to make any effort into finding new bands. I came across Clutch this way, who had not gotten much of any radio airplay in my area (at least prior to when I stopped listening to radio much, anyhow). I then bought a bunch of their CDs as I found myself wanting to listen to them more. Other more ephemeral songs that lose their interest to me I would've regretted buying so I don't mind if they vanish in the ether.
I use Slacker and Youtube. The former since I could cache stations for offline listening, although I believe others do that now, too. So perhaps just inertia. It was the first free streaming site I was introduced to and has the cheapest subscription. When I'm home and want a specific song I usually just use Youtube since I'd need the more expensive Slacker plan to pick any song at will.
I still give and receive CDs and DVDs as gifts. They become MP3s/MP4s easily enough and feel more tangible than e-media gifts. I have given and received e-books since it is harder to digitize books oneself.
As far as I know there are laws regarding repairability of cars and non-exclusivity of parts. On some models you have to do silly things like take the front bumper off to replace the headlamps, but I've heard that Europe is going to pass laws about how the bulbs and batteries will need to be user replaceable with minimal effort. For examples like your fridge, generally the diagrams and parts are readily available. My washer and dryer would be in a landfill somewhere by now if not for diagrams and parts being available, with labor costing what it does for them to be repaired by a professional.
If the diagrams were not available for appliances you'd probably see similar calls for legislation there, and in many cases the electronics are more costly than the appliances.
If the AIs can communicate with one another they could coordinate such that gridlock rarely occurs. Although that might open more attack vectors for malware.

Since I've had children I've come to realize that being able to be bored is quite a luxury.

I did find it odd that the selected quotes were both wrong in important ways. I suppose he's having fun playing gentleman philosopher.

I suppose he ought to have pulled a Youtube and shared the ad revenue with the copyright holders...
Mecca is there... it's kind of a big deal in Islam.
That was Socrates, Greece as a whole never had an empire as such, and their influence certainly didn't collapse a generation after Socrates.
Did Whipslash personally review your comment for copyrighted content before it was allowed to be posted?

Unless these are particularly rare cancers they are going to treat there should be enough data to establish a baseline for comparison.

The cognitive dissonance may also be why he consented to the interview.
