The first few times I tried talking to them, then I tried calling them liars. But I found the best way to deal with them was to just say nothing and mute the phone; it wastes their time, but not mine.
At some point economy of scale and competition may make soylent-meat cheaper but right now it really only makes sense for people who have ethical problems with eating delicious animals, not people in the third world who just want to eat something besides relief agency rice and oppression.
Currenty, you are absolutely right. It's like the earliest hybrid/electric cars (remember the first Tesla, The one based on the Lotus frame?); way too impractical and expensive as a viable solution for the majority, but good enough for enough people to make it possible to build up the economy of scale you need for mass market adoption. We're still not there yet, but I dare say that few would be blind enough not to deny a future of non-petrol cars.
You can bet that the first few artificial meat products will be far too expensive, but that won't stop Hollywood celebrities from buying it, and effectively handing those companies the money they need to scale up and reduce cost for the rest of us. At some point, artificial meat should be able to become cheaper than real meat (it's a more effective use of "ingredients", it's production method that is expensive), at which point artificial will become the norm, and real meat will either become a delicacy food item or go the way of fur coats.
Because you have to put a lot of perfectly good food into those animals to get far less food out of them. Current meat production practices are unsustainable when expanded to a global scale. So unless you want to maintain the first-world/third-world gap, meat production or consumption has to change. Since we all know the latter is not going to happen any time soon, we need to tackle the former.
Manipulating the feeble-minded has always been his business model; it's no accident he uses tricks like these. Just look at his university and other businesses. He even owned a casino at one point.
By the same reasoning, the european court of justice is infringing copyright too, assuming they mentioned a functioning URL to the TPB website. Or are URL's on paper somehow legally different from URL's on a website?
So as a department-head at Google she "designed" Gmail, yet at the absolute ruler of Yahoo, she couldn't make a YahooMail work? Seems that Gmail is good despite her involvement.

There's this farmer in the Netherlands, who has received multiple legal threats from companies for hacking.
The reason? His farm is near the centroid geo-coordinate for the Netherlands. Which means that if somebody tries to look up an IP in a GeoIP database and that database does not have more accurate data than "This IP is in the Netherlands", it will report back the centroid geo-coordinate for the Netherlands. If just happens there is an actual building near this centroid.
Wonder how well such a law would work with dumb companies (i.e. the vast majority) being DDOS'ed with spoofed IP's.
While I agree with you Google isn't authoritative and can see an argument to the contrary.
Google may not be authoritive, and neither may be a dictionary (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/laptop), but it at the very least is a reasonable representation of public opinion.
I can also imagine somebody trying to make an argument to the contrary. That person would probably be egg-shaped. http://sabian.org/looking_glas...
Problem: XML is harder to write than JSON. Proposed solution A: Invent an entirely new format based on JSON and have the entire world adopt it. Proposed solution B: Write a small library that translates JSON to XML and just use any of the dozens of libraries that already exists to parse RSS feeds. Let's go for solution A.
The answer is, with absolute certainty, "Yes". If there were aliens and they could make giant structures and those structures were placed between us and some star, it would surely dim. Whether any of this actually exists is an entirely different question from whether or not it could exist.
The preview images are of an app called Groove. I have no idea what it currently looks like, so I have no idea what has changed. Guess I could start it up, since I have Windows 10, but... meh.
Ironic side note: If net neutrality were abolished, ISP's could legally throttle access to the FCC site, effectively blocking people from posting these comments. No DOSS attacks needed to prevent people from speaking out against ISP's.
Which is more telling; lots of people trying to post comments for net neutrality or some organizations trying to block those people from posting those comments?
H-1B is intended to find workers with skill sets you can't find locally. It was not intended to find workers will skill sets you CAN find locally. Seniority has nothing to do with it.
1. Ban the posts and wait for China or UAE or some such country to sue for similar censorship without having the defense. 2. Don't ban the posts and dump the Austrian market.
Austria can't be stupid enough to assume the first and they can't be stupid enough to want the latter, so what are they trying to do?

But it is a clever strategy
It's also an amoral strategy..

They are feeding off your tribal instincts.
In contrast to every other thing on TV in what way, exactly?

As I understand it, the validation of transactions becomes increasingly more expensive with the number of transactions previously validated.
Selling things is not the same as scamming you into buying things by manipulation and lying..

I guess the question is does laptop imply a physical keyboard
Yes. https://www.google.com/search?...
or merely a size and the ability to type even if it is a virtual keyboard that has relocated the typing surface to the screen?
No. https://www.google.com/search?...

Facebook has two choices.
1. Ban the posts and wait for China or UAE or some such country to sue for similar censorship without having the defense.
2. Don't ban the posts and dump the Austrian market.
Austria can't be stupid enough to assume the first and they can't be stupid enough to want the latter, so what are they trying to do?
You CAN take offense, you don't HAVE to.
