reminds me of automation of the early 1900's.. I mean real auto-mation. Back then you needed horseshoers, and people to do feed and tack. You had to have someone to help get the horses bridled to the cart before you even started your delivery run. Then cars came along. The amount of people that lost their good paying horse related jobs is probably staggering but it happened.
meh, as an avid scifi reader this one is easy to field. The aliens are using quantum communications to talk to each other. They are obviously part of a vast empire that has ruled the galaxy for eons. In this case they are sending out signals to ensnare young civilizations into responding to the messages. That way they can easily find any potential species that may later become upstarts and challenge the hegemony.
Not to worry though, we are not yet sophisticated enough te even read the messages let alone respond to them. We aren't even beyond the desire to wipe our species out phase of space travel. Give it another couple hundred years and if there are any of us and/or our civilization, they may take the time to come down and enslave us. But until then we are pretty much good to go:)
This is what the next pixel should have been. Everything is there to make a great modern phone, resolution, dual camera, no bezel. The only weird feature is the ability to use addons, and that is only if you opt to do so. A great phone for VR if you are into that.
the new pixel is being made by HTC and the whole idea of a squeeze phone to activate things annoys me to no end. As if I didn't have enough problems with phone activation in my pocket. The home button on my Samsung galaxyX phones would turn my phone on in my pocket and even bought me a German pickle helmet once (before I disabled one click purchase on Amazon). I recently had to buy a cheap phone temporarily to replace my broken note5. I ended up buying an LG stylo2. It's awesome feature is that if you tap the screen three times it turns on. Like that can never happen in your pocket. So the idea of a squeeze activated phone just ends the entire conversation for me.
less than 2% of the population rape children. If the other 98% were willing to die in a prolonged war defending child rape I still wouldn't be cool with them putting up statues to glorify their effort.
He fought for the right to own humans. That is the core of the issue. He cannot be anyone's hero without explicit understanding of that fact. Not a lot of black americans idolize Robert E. Lee.
I'ts been a long time since AMD has released a competitive product. Intel in a show of appreciation and friendship has decided that the best way to help them along is to assure that unlike the new series of ryzen processors coming out theirs will not be backwards compatible with the hardware you buy. Why else would they restrict the pcie lanes in their top of the line chips by price and lock out features unless they were trying to help AMD along.
capitalize first happened I think much farther back than 6k years. More likely when Og realized that being bigger than anyone else in the tribe, he could get more meat from every shared meal and more women if he beat the crap out of every other male in the tribe. Thereby Og provided a "service" by not beating the crap out of people in exchange for getting what he wanted. Capitalism works the same today for the most part. Bullying people into paying an extra share of whatever for whatever you have if you have the bigger club.. you get more.
There are a lot of people that are freaked out about the idea of facial recognition but the reality of walking through the airport without having to show a boarding pass is going to win this argument in the end. People don't like the idea of having a wire tap in their home either but how many times a day is someone, somewhere saying "hey wiretap, can cat's eat pizza?".
honestly.. I don't know about Ontario but here in Seattle the place is flooded with high wage earners. Places can and will raise prices to accommodate the wage increase and not one person will care one bit about it. When kids are leaving college and coming here for 120k per year starting no one cares if their beer is a buck more or their burger is 50 cents over the national. Seriously.
Hmm.. Well personally I'm not trying to push a liberal or conservative agenda at all. The first most important thing to understand is that Russian meddling is not pro conservative or liberal. It's all about destabilization. Helping Trump is far less important to them as was the destabilizating rhetoric that they could push onto the American public.
The US is already setting the Ukraine up with a distribution deal for US natural gas so they are going to be just fine financially. Russia has already annexed part of their country or did you forget that they don't need to convince us that Russia is hostile to them. If you are so willing to blind yourself to any external threat just because it disagrees with your political views I have very little hope that we will survive this.

There is a lot more than just this but I'm at work. Anyway even this is a waste of time because it wouldn't matter. Even the fact that Putin himself claimed that it may have been "loyalist Russian hackers" couldn't convince you that Russia was involved so I'm sure that pages of evidence would make no difference.
Also the fact that leaked emails from the Democrats had been edited using a Cyrillic version of MS office and the changes where direct cut and paste from Russian propaganda sites like sputnik...
Mom and Pop places are not required to pay the new minimum wage in Seattle. That is the problem with the study. It doesn't include employees actually making the new minimum wage. Seriously, SlashDot used to be a place for intelligent discussion.
This is only one of many studies done. It hit headlines because it's conflicting results are good clickbait. If the only employees used as data in this study don't even make the new minimum wage then how can the study be relevant?
Here try this one. http://irle.berkeley.edu/files...
There are more studies like this that include all minimum wage earners not just the ones that don't get the increase.
Ya as a person who has lived in Seattle most of my life. Teenagers don't work at McDonalds. Young adults and people trying to support themselves where there are no other opportunities seem to fill those roles. I'm not just being anecdotal here. Literally if you go to a fast food joint in Seattle you will find immigrant labor and old people.. people with not many skills and not a lot of choices. Meanwhile the median income in Seattle is $80,000 and the average cost of an apartment is $1500 per month. Oh, and BTW "then seek raises or new sources of employment at wages commensurate with their now increased experience".. because flipping burgers or stuffing lettuce into a taco is really going to get you moving towards those high paying jobs. Don't give me some kind of abstract about the value of work increasing your value. We have kids moving here to work for Amazon starting at 120k per year. there is little to no space in between those wage groups.
Let's not also forget the fact that the humanity is headed toward a self induced extinction event. When people are willing to spend trillions killing each other a few million to try to expand humanities horizon is nothing if not necessary. If we cannot learn to live outside this planet then we are all doomed to die together on it.
Meanwhile China and the EU will make sure that there are incentives in place to promote renewable energy and emerging technologies in renewable energy. While the US gets to add a couple hundred low paying coal worker jobs the EU and China will be adding thousands higher wage jobs in the form of technology that the US is leaving behind. Technology that will be used through out the world as it gets cheaper and easier to maintain than any other existing method of power production and it will happen. We'll just be buying it from the Chinese like any other third world country.
ya having worked for years with composites I can see your POV. Autoclaved CRP is inherently porous, The difficulties in sealing it for this kind of purpose is well known. Under low pressure loads you can depend on the secondary sealing material applied to it after baking but it does leave a lot of potential holes in the matrix.
f you look at the history of the RD-180 engine you will realize that the engineers where already out of a job long before the Soviet Union fell. The original RD-180 engines tested in the US were pulled from an old warehouse and dusted off. The entire RD-180 program was built on desire of ULA to purchase the engines.

Robert E. Lee fought for the right to own other humans. If that makes a hero to you then you are proclaiming your own views by defending him.

hmm.. sounds like someone has read Foundations of Geopolitics ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... )
Since the subject of this thread is the FCC and title II. We can safely say the last administration. Tom Wheeler did not obstruct or hide things.

Honestly there are places I can't use my passport and places I can't use my drivers license. Really the whole thing is redundant and stupid.

One more scenario is if the third booster were to land across the Atlantic ocean somewhere dropping the boosters short.
