Even the LHC is tiny by comparison to the proposed tracks, and it has suffered many leaks. It also is located underground and further temperature controlled giving it a far more stable heat expansion of just a 1mm, but even that they have to be careful with. The hyperloop propose is in a completely different ballpark as far as technical issues. Even if they could solve thermal expansion, tectonic plate shifting, vacuum maintenance, etc, they still ultimately have the biggest issue, the tube is SERIOUSLY dangerous if damaged as it has an absolutely insane amount of energy potential in that huge vacuum and the passengers are fundamentally right at ground zero of that danger.
Regressive can be very accurate. Campaigning against free speech, yep, regressive. Campaigning for segregation, yep, regressive. Campaigning for doubling standards based on things like race, yep, pretty racist and you know regressive. Advocating violence, not in self defense, but to silence, yep, pretty damn regressive there too. Yeah, I think the regressive label is pretty well earned. They will of course try to explain it away in the usual love is hate kind of way, but if you look through that BS defense it is pretty obvious. Honestly I wouldn't say tolerance is their issue as they are only selectively tolerance as is convenient for there activism. They totally flip their tops on other topics regardless of how mundane or minor.
Watched enough Mayday to know that traces of explosive doesn't ultimately mean much. Other sea crashes have had similar issues as there is sometimes explosive residue in the water that contaminates the crash. If they didn't find any other signs of an explosion that's probably why they aren't putting much stock in the residue.
It can be if you are the only market through which to sell. In this case it gets complicated, Apple sorta is, and isn't at the same time. There are obviously Android phones with their own markets, so in that way they aren't the only seller. However, within their product they are the only seller. This will be interesting as it may well impact the like of the consoles for instance as they use the same model. MS, Sony and Nintendo all have similar walled gardens to sell to their base. Apple may even be in a bit more trouble as they have a clear history of blocking competing software, whereas most the other instances of this walled garden stuff don't do that. I suspect in the end it won't go anywhere, but should be interesting nonetheless.
Screw XM... most unreliable radio I've ever had. Next to a building... no signal. Going down a rural road... no signal. Maybe it is just my area, but god no.
Yeah. As a bit of a writer, the different standards of various web sites is a real pain, so you end up cutting back and back and back to the very basics to avoid any issues when transferring. Curly quotes actually were one of the better ones as at least most sites had the ability to translate them to straight. But then you get other things: can they understand symbols like % and which ones. Do they do proper bolding and such. Do they understand line breaks. Oh, and my true favorite, which is still a major piss off, do they understand tab or do implied tabs, or neither. Google docs for instance REALLY annoys me with that one. Half the time does tab, half the time implied tab. ARGH!
And how exactly would they do that? PC's don't generally have 1 set of full graphics card memory. Nor do they generally run the OS of a Playstation Station 4. Now, if you mean Playstation Now, the streaming service, sure, if you want to stream your games, I suppose that could happen, although you'll be paying monthly fees plus game fees for an inferior experience, but whatever. Even Xbox One, which is far closer to PC still requires different code running on both platforms.
Seriously? Trying to say X is a good portrayal of anything seems like a completely subjective thing to me and further practical impossible on any single element. Any portrayal can potentially be bad if it is overused, while at the same time any portrayal can potentially be fine so long as it is used in appropriate balance, but you can't determine either of things looking at an individual production. Likewise the standard for what exactly is a good or bad thing are basically totally subjective, especially in fiction. A complete cold bloodied murderer can be an excellent character, while a total altruist and general humanitarian can be a terrible character.
Frequently run into it, where I have a data set that is small, but difficult as hell code in such a manner as to go through efficiently. So, I can spend many hours trying to get the efficient code right, or just use the much simpler more brute force approach which will still get the task done just a quickly to the user's perception.
Yeah, that. It is often a real pain in the neck to deal with a heavily normalized DB, where a few simple pieces of denormalized data would help you out immensely. "Bad" idea, but definitely works at times.
While trolls suck, they always had them. What they haven't had is inconsistent and overreaching policies for fighting these 'trolls'. We've seen in again and again, certain groups get free passes to say whatever they want, other groups say stuff even slightly, through a distorted lens, might look kinda trollish, banned. Get your current policies straight and consistent!
If it does remain static, it definitely will die a quick death. However, if they keep up with updates in both content and gameplay, then it may well have substantial legs.
I'm not so sure it is frivolous. FB opened this can of worms itself by engaging in censorship and control of its pages. Now, if they can prove in court that it is just a false perception of censorship and control, they can get away with this. But, if they are filtering their content manually at all, they become legally responsible for all of it.

I am a programmer after all... why the hell would they bother with a robot when an AI program would do the trick.
WTF?! Something is obviously wrong with their methodology.

But we need to know how badly we are F'ed.
It's just a rounding error in the universe. Nothing to worry about.
What were the exact posts? Unfortunately the article doesn't seem to have them.
My Poe senses are tingling... but unfortunately I do know people this stupid actually exist so I'm not sure.
It is for the wide number of un-pressurized plane pilots so they can have an extra altimeter.
And how exactly would they do that? PC's don't generally have 1 set of full graphics card memory. Nor do they generally run the OS of a Playstation Station 4.

And I had just broken out my "All hail our Alien Overlords!" signs. Now I have to put them back... argh!

Of course it is possible. Now, if you wouldn't mind stepping over here for your strip search...

Not like anyone won't try to accelerate just that extra bit sooner... of course, I suppose they already do that currently... right, carry on.

Samsung got caught up with their protection mon-... I mean brib-... I mean lobbying. Yeah, totally legal lobbying, yep. :)
