If google doesn't have plans to sell lens-fittable versions to optometrists' offices, they're missing out on some easy cash. Unlike you, I've had better than 20/20 vision my whole life, but I can't help but imagine my eyesight will go downhill as I age, and I'd still want smart glasses then.
I think you misunderstand what that means. It means directX has moved from a versioned API with new features all the time, to a stable API that they feel safe tying to the OS and pushing updates for through windows update. It's like when an open source project has reached the point where its no longer worth it to pull the latest from git. It's "done".
You're clearly not making the market. DirectX has been the "talking to the graphics card" layer for years. I think the summary is actually right in that the past 5-10 years, developing your own graphical/physics engine is dead. Unreal, unity, havok, source, whatever, it's all cheaper than developing something from scratch and building in the DirectX/openGL core features of the latest generation.
Yeah, you still write shaders, do optimization, whatever, but how you do that will depend on what Unreal supports, not on what bleeding edge directx features are.
Not to mention that liberty is just one aspect of an ideal society. We teach children(in the united states) that freedom is the single most important thing in the world(and it might well be), but this informs a whole swath of adults that it's the only thing. You see this in every political debate in the U.S. that there's someone claiming encroachment on freedom, even when their position is one of denying someone else the right to choose to do something(and if you can't think of examples, you're crazy).
It's really a mass psychosis we intentionally induce as part of our national identity. It's weird to me.
Look, you won't find that because by-and-large the United States is a conservative nation, at least as far as regular voters go. Democrats skew conservative, and republicans skew crazy. This is amplified by a mixture of natural(your self-reported cynicism probably won't let you believe that) and intentional gerrymandering. I would take something like a 65% democrat voting country to make real progress on social and economic issues from a liberal perspective. You will never find your "great liberal hope" without a more substantial shift in population.
What is quantum entanglement denial? I mean, I understand people will believe lots science to be false for a ton of stupid reasons, but I haven't heard of this one. Could you explain their position?
(Just talking discretionary here) 1. Not true. It would actually account for ~70% of the deficit(and 30% of the entire budget) 2. "One year's deficit" is a completely absurd misnomer. It would affect every fucking year's deficit. 3. You could cut literally every other agency's discretionary budget to nothing for the less savings. Do the math yourself, please
Now, I'm not denying that you could cut social security and medicare and medicaid for a lot of savings, but the fact that you're lying ought to be made clear.
Forget a fortune, as long as they think they'll make any profit at all, they'll continue. The really sucky thing about the tragedy of the commons is that it's not even necessarily all that good comparatively for the participants.
Meanwhile, in spite of these "cost-cutting" measures, tuition continue to skyrocket. I wonder if this problem exists in countries where schools are publicly funded.
I don't think practical fusion technologies are as far away as you're acting like they are. If you've been following fusion news, there are several projects that are getting pretty close to scientific net+(my favorite is the Focus Fusion experiment).
And if the fuels take more energy to prepare than they yield when reacted(tritium is one such fuel), then they're not very useful for energy production, but very useful for energy storage.
This is factually incorrect. You could hypothetically make a star wars game, acquire the licenses to the trademark and universe copyrights and sell it, but anything with the word "Star Wars" on it can get you sued otherwise.
I think the trademarks are entirely retained. Presumably, they'll have to go out of their way to keep from using the trademarks "Star Wars" and "Jedi" in any forked productions.
I can. Not for the harassment, or the "hacking" of their social network pages. That's an almost inevitable consequence. I feel bad for them because they were doing their job of prosecuting a law that shouldn't exist. Nothing says prosecutors have to agree with the law.
Yeah, that's definetly a right-wing-authoritarian perspective. To the GP there's an in-group, whose good, righteous, and under attack, by the wrong, weak, and powerful out-group who are always wrong. It's called "right-wing-authoritarianism" because aspects of it (like the most likely targets for the out-group) cause a predilection towards right wing philosophies, but people who show signs of it will lean towards whatever philosophical perspective authority figures in their life exhibit.

Here's a first pass:
What do you get when you cure brain disease?
No more windows 8.

Are you saying you use weather, news, and everybody votes? I get that there must be somebody who does, but do you?
I think his eye might have been drawn to the "anonymous reader" part of the summary to fill in details. Mine was too.

They still have plenty of Korean War Era artillery.

You want to find aliens without a military? You'll be sorry when xenobacteria are shooting laser beams at your family.
Oh, sucks to be English then.
You misunderstood. I meant whether the vanishing professor problem happens in, say, the U.K.

A headset isn't the reason why you look stupid.

It's almost as if the word "like" means "similar to" and not the exact same person.
