1) Not all the k-cup brands are the same. Some are much better than others. I'm partial to the Barsita Prima brand, but YMMV.
2) The smaller cups (not the karafe ones) are all designed for the 10-12oz serving sizes and tend to get too weak if you go larger. If you're trying to fill a travel mug, you should use 2 k-cups instead of trying to use 1 k-cup twice like some people do.
Hey, fuckface, what does that have to do with anything that I'm saying? You can store electricity. You've been able to do that for decades and decades now. Wise the fuck up.
Obviously you'd roll out in stages. Something like this couldn't happen overnight - it would probably take decades. Ultimately it may (as you say) not scale well enough. However that wasn't my point.
The point is that your statement that you "can't store it" is complete and total bullshit. It makes me think you're an idiot with exactly zero knowledge on the subject.
All-female services are sexist. They presuppose that all men are evil rapists, and then they go a step further to exclude them entirely. I wonder if a man applying for a job could file a gender discrimination suit when they tell him they won't hire him because he's a man.
Probably because he's doing preventative maintenance by replacing key components before they fail instead of after/during - something most people don't do. This is the smart move if you want your vehicle to retain as much of its value as possible.
No, you won't be selling it for any appreciable amount. What will actually happen is they'll give you a small fraction of what the battery is worth - maybe 5-10% to recycle it if they give you anything at all. People won't have the means to dispose of these things on their own, so they will be at a disadvantage. We see the same thing with every form of recycling - someone is benefiting from getting all the raw materials but the consumer is never really rewarded for it. In the most likely case you will be required to put down a deposit on a battery that you'd get back after you returned it.
SteamOS will never be mainstream. It's a half baked idea they'll eventually decide to stop throwing money at once they realize the majority of people in the world don't give a shit about the OS they use as long as it's easy for them to use.
People seem to forget that the gaming industry now makes more than all of Hollywood. Gaming is never going away unless a medium shows up to supplant it, which seems doubtful at least for the foreseeable future.
Right. The problem is they're not going to get their equality if all it means is that people who aren't black and/or female are suddenly treated like the enemy who has to feel guilty for crimes they had no part in.
The cycle of idiocy ends when everyone stops perpetuating it on both sides. Currently the ball is in the Black/Female court, but they don't seem to understand that what they're doing now by treating everyone else like they were directly responsible is just as damaging as bringing back apartheid.
If we're so hell bent on equality, why is it necessary to write an article that specifically extols the facts that she was black and a woman? If we want to get to where equality is actually achievable we need to stop seeing gender and colour as such a big deal and focus specifically on the accomplishments of the person.
Here's the breakdown of my level of care over tech workplace gender equality:
0%
Women who want to work in tech are not prevented from doing so, which is evidenced by the fact that they do happen to work in tech. Progress past the mythical problem already - it doesn't actually exist.
It's convenience. Buying a book digitally is 99.999% faster than buying a physical copy. Then it can go anywhere with me, along with the rest of my library.
The life of a kindle is very long. I have a second generation kindle that still works well and holds a charge. It's about 4 years old now.
Yes you can sell your kindle. All you need to do is unassociate it with your amazon account.

The two things I've discovered about Keurig:
1) Not all the k-cup brands are the same. Some are much better than others. I'm partial to the Barsita Prima brand, but YMMV.

"The problem with wind is that you cannot store it. Not really anyway. "
I don't know what rock you've been living under, but batteries have been a thing for decades now.
Probably because it's not a fact. They have over 200 billion in liquid assets.
Apple could fail for the next 10 years and still be floating. You seriously underestimate how much money they've accumulated.
...overpriced garbage. However it's Apple - they've been selling you overpriced garbage for so long now that it wouldn't make sense to change.

Yeah, because heat is so very hard to come by.
The IQs around here are dropping so fast it's practically palpable.
This is like leaving my bank PIN number and bank card on everything that I touch. Do. Not. Want.
It's still pretty good value for what you're getting. I have no problem with this.
...advertising for techcrunch? Have you really sunk this low?

Except the markup on an iphone is astronomical. It costs them less than $100 to make one.

That's just an incredibly dumb statement with no actual basis in fact.

I gave up on Torvalds a long time ago. He's more like an abrasive blowhard these days than a serious community leader.

E-ink beats a tablet display for reading any day of the week and twice on sunday. In addition, you simply can't beat the battery life.
