My Prius Hybrid (first actual automatic I've owned) has "B" gear for this (which, in cruise control, switches on regenerative *and* connects the gas engine without turning it on- no fuel usage at all and gas engine used as a vacuum pump for braking- at least until the batteries are full, then it starts using the radiator to dump waste heat)
Basically, it is the difference between Deism and Asmovian Atheism.
Theologically anyway.
It is either "God created the universe and all of its physical laws in the planck time following the big bang" or "All intelligent life will eventually evolve into God and learn to reverse entropy".
I can't imagine either scenario making any difference to anybody at all, except for maybe the Pastafarians, Hindus, and actual hard atheists.
The real problem is that the innovator who really stole all their ideas from other people, has failed to realize that their own User Interface has become a mature technology, as familiar to most people as "gas on the right, brake on the left" in a car.
Except mainframes died in the mean time that you've been in your stasis pod- these days you're talking about millions of potential computer cops in every vehicle.
It is geek blackface precisely because Jim Parsons is not Sheldon Cooper. Sheldon Cooper is a stereotype of people with Asperger's. Better than most every other one on TV today, but still, just a stereotype.
We don't need censorship. But a hint to the next Nancy Lanza- IF your child is diagnosed with a mental illness AND plays a lot of violent video games, perhaps you should think twice before giving him a gun safe, guns, and ammo as a present.
Hawking’s argument basically comes down to the observation that in the quantum realm, ‘empty’ space isn’t empty. Down at this sub-sub-microscopic level, it is in constant turmoil, with pairs of particles and their corresponding antiparticles continually popping into existence before rapidly recombining and vanishing. Only in very delicate laboratory experiments does this submicroscopic frenzy have any observable consequences. But when a particle–antiparticle pair appears just outside a black hole’s event horizon, Hawking realized, one member could fall in before the two recombined, leaving the surviving partner to fly outwards as radiation. The doomed particle would balance the positive energy of the outgoing particle by carrying negative energy inwards — something allowed by quantum rules. That negative energy would then get subtracted from the black hole’s mass, causing the hole to shrink.
Why would the doomed particle be treated differently by gravity than its partner in the pair? And without this effect, why would there be a firewall to begin with?

If the particle and anti-particle are affected by gravity the same, wouldn't both members fall into the hole at the same rate and recombine on the way down?
And without this effect, why would there be a firewall?
Creating apps is easy- making money at it is hard- and that's the reason it is a bubble. You need a LOT of volume to make money off of 99 cent applications.
This was a joke, but suggests that we need a few control experiments to make sure we're not mixing causation with correlation. I suggest a series of such double packages- some decorated with "Atheist" tape, some decorated with "Christian" tape, some plain brown, and some decorated with "Happy Birthday" and "Happy Anniversary" tape, and some of course decorated with Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu symbology.
My alternative hypothesis is that *any* sort of decorative tape is going to mess up the aging automated scanners, thus causing delay as packages need to be routed by hand.
The point being though that students such as you were a depressing minority - who usually also had parents who were on the upper end of the income scale.
There was a reason for Perkins Loans and other such programs.
"College students are capable of paying for it themselves "
You lost me with this. Even when I was in college in the late 1980s, this wasn't true- most students relied on loans and subsidies to get through. Only a very small percentage are able to go to school, work, and afford a $50,000/year tuition.

I still hate the ribbon. I don't know why ANYBODY would give it an award.

Yes, but the problem is, they started by changing the paradigm.
What was so wrong with Windows CE? At least it had a start button! Even my Android has the launcher.
A good option is when you go to ninite.com to install your freeware, install a bit of freeware called "Start8".

Nothing like having to pay for training for the rich to demand taxpayers in India pay for it instead.

You got 1.5 billion tickets in the last second, because you went 1.1 MPH over the speed limit.
Yeah, that will go over real swell.
Especially since, much easier would be to add a routine to the smart cruise control to never exceed the speed limit to begin with.

Especially if you plant a lemon tree.
Not to mention the delivery methods are not very good or useful.
21 year old adult in this case had the emotional maturity of a six year old. My comment stands.

Then why would the particle be affected differently than the antiparticle? Why wouldn't *both* fall into the black hole equally?
Why has nobody considered the idea that Stephen Hawking might be wrong, and gravity might affect antimatter as much as matter?

12 generations to legs- that's pretty swift evolution.
Yep, can't disprove the Silurians.
Yep, the real skills gap is that employers do not want to pay for skills.
