I don't want anything to do with the cellular companies.
What I want is a wifi touchscreen that connects to my desktop computer. Something thin, light, that has great battery life, has a cam and mic and speaker so i can use voip wireless around the house/office if I want to.
I've had a similar experience, however I came to the conclusion that the races involved were irrelevant.
The underlying causes are socioeconomic and CULTURAL.
For example, one neighborhood I lived in for a few years differed from others in the following ways :
Loud all day and night-long birthday parties for very young children where the adults drink heavily and generate enough noise to be heard blocks away inside homes. Adult, grandfather-aged men urinating openly in the street, and watching teen-age boys removing street signage accent to their own homes without saying or doing anything about it. People not saying or doing anything about people lighting an oil fire in the middle of the street, just sitting on their porches watching it burn. People neglecting their pets, people keeping roosters and chickens in relatively high density residential properties not zoned for it, people renting-out storage buildings as residencies.
How are children going to study under such circumstances ? How are adults with decent jobs going to even be able to get enough sleep at night to preform the kind of work that requires skill and concentration necessary when you can not even get enough sleep ?
Poverty is a culture, and some cultural attitudes and expressions foster poverty, but that's a big elephant nobody wants to discuss. To do so is to openly invite being accused of harboring racist attitudes. All solutions that avoid admitting the underlying cause exist for one purpose and one purpose only - to exploit people based on their own bias and ignorance under a guise that hurts everyone.
For example, the revolutionary work on the human microbiome / microbiota has the potential to revolutionize modern medicine.
The world in on the verge of a global economic revolution, the old ideas and old politics are all that's really in the way.
Recognizing the obstetricals is just one step, figuring out how to get around them is the next. The things that make it possible for humans to discover intense interests in looking creatively and differently at how things are interconnected and interdependent are what matters.
If "science" seems to have stagnated, it's because we've created a situation where kids don't have the access to play with the really cool things they used to play with. Really cool chemistry sets, really cool model rockets, exciting and stimulating stuff that runs contrary to sitting with your face glued to a screen all damn day...
To be fair, the Babylon series clearly shows the idea of a Utopian future was just like our present day world, with the typical politics and secrecy and hidden agendas.

When was I asked to support drones, or the ever increasing militarization of our police ?
Just because you call it "Democratic" does not mean you have "overwhelming public support".
..when Amazon is both ?
Just shut-up, Meg.
By the time people start wondering that about a bubble, it usually means the bubble has already burst.
Sorry to be the one to tell y'all.

They don't like it because they love to exercise.
They like it because it's something, a technology, that's new to them that does not exist in nature.
What this tells me is that animals will explore whatever technology they have access to that they can interact with.
To me that's far more fascinating and profound than merely concluding they like to exercise.
And the source of that little stat, statisticbrain.com doesn't indicate where it got their stats from.
/. articles these days !
And they have no obvious method in place on the linked page with that stat for correcting their misinformation.
On the other hand, not all LEO's are traffic cops, and Federal agents write traffic tickets how often ?
This would be a decent article if it wasn't inflated and deceptive. But then again, so would most of the
Yes. Because the truly willfully stupid do deserve it.
Somebody else can wake you up, but only you can get yourself out of that death-bed.
is much more common than people supposed.
The dystopic future in the series Continuum doesn't look so very far-fetched to me.
We're already a third of the way there !
All those old slow unusable computers have to go somewhere, right ?
âoeEssentially I am in trouble for posting all of the stuff on Twitter,â
Yes, that's true, you're in trouble because you announced it to the world, like duh, Beckie.
Scientifically, bluefoxlucid isn't a thing. There's no proof.
This is not a good study.
Having driven in Boise, Bakersfield and Sacramento, I can say with all honesty, using simple city size comparisons is a fallacy.
To put it more clearly, the car drivers and bicyclists are very different in Boise than they are in California.
You're just safer in a vehicle and on a bike in Boise than you are in California.
What a great deal !
Because anyone with a used car will tell you, they're real reliable and you don't have to spend anything to constantly repair/maintain them !
The Commander's advice doesn't carry much weight.
Then again, he is making it clear what priority theft has to the LAPD.
Which is exactly why people confront the thieves themselves.
This one is exaggerated troll-bait.
The "problem" is the arrogance and delusion of people who believe they CAN drive and use the phone safely.
There is no technological solution to self delusion.
Only an evolutionary one.
It's not a gift so much as it is the usual graft and corruption.
Correlation is not causation.

I think the phrase "not rely on futile individual volunteerism", and all of its implications, IS as much the problem as anything else.
Your Geek Persecution Theory has as much merit as "Christians" saying that they are being persecuted because gays can marry in some places now.
And you must be joking, calling a Google Glass wearer a "Geek Hobbyist".
BS.
Two false options, and both are unacceptable.

So everybody should pay 16,500 a year in health insurance premiums ?
At some point people need to look at the system we have and recognize a rip-off when they see it.
It's not the greatest country in the world and our medical care isn't the best in the world. It's jsut the most expensive.
We're the stupidest country in the world because we accept it.
