This effect is not new nor a new discovery, it is very well-known and the cure is regular exposure to full-spectrum light. This is very deeply rooted in the limbic system and evolutionary history, essentially, since there were parietal eyes.
Who the hell uses cell phone gadget programs (apps) in a life-critical situation? And why are troops in combat carrying cell phones at all? Both are ridiculous security risks, cell phones shouldn't be allowed to be carried at all.
I think you can get maps for free at a Texaco station - but perhaps I am dating myself.
It's almost inconceivable to go out into the middle of the ocean with *no charts*. If nothing else, put the charts on a backup iPad or something at least good enough to find a safe port.
This is excellent, and it's just a shame no one bothers to teach Civics in any sensible way any more. And very sad and very necessary for our little echo chamber to hear and understand. Much of what has been said here about NN is the product of the bizarro world.
Everyone should *want* rules/regulation/laws *voted on by elected officials* who can subsequently be made *accountable* for the results. Not by fiat of a President, appointed functionaries, etc. It is *supposed to be* very hard to pass laws and *supposed to ensure* that only laws with widespread general agreement get passed and that *individual elected officials* have to go on record with their votes.
The intention of the constitutional arrangement was to preclude the development of a semi-permanent unelected "civil servant" class as in European countries who become the true power in the system, with the representatives acting as temporary figureheads, and no one is accountable for their actions. When Trump, for all his faults, talks about "The Swamp", that's what he means.
The system operated at least somewhat according to the design until 1933, when a radical exploited a panic to implement the concepts of the Three Letter Agency, created ostensibly to develop regulations that are "too complex" for the Congress to work out themselves. The far more relevant side effect is that it also isolated elected officials from accountability for their actions. They voted to create the various agencies and gave them the power to make "regulations", which are de facto law. Of course you have to man these agencies somehow, and Congress couldn't possibly vet every employee, so once they start, they are both essentially immune to politics or the will of the voters, and no one can ever really pin down which elected official to tag for something they don't like. Of course, the same employees work there for years, they write the job requirements in such a way that only career bureaucrats can ever qualify for the leadership positions, so it becomes a self-sustaining "civil service" class. Of course, no one can ever *get rid* of one of these agencies, if you do, then Congress would be held responsible, which is very dangerous for the elected officials. So it only gets larger and larger and more and more dominant and monolithic.
Most slashdotters were perfectly happy when unelected officials instituted net neutrality in a unilateral manner with no popular support or any accountability, because you got what you wanted and didn't care about the fact that it was done by decree. Now many of the same people are upset that it was also undone by decree, and suddenly you want to follow the constitutional process - which is very likely never going to happen because *no one cares about it but you*, and therefore *should not be done under any circumstances* because it has *no popular support* on either side of the fence.
You want net neutrality - convince a lot of people that its important, and that your solution is best. If enough people care, then you will get your law - otherwise, if you haven't defined the problem in a way that people care about or if you haven't convinced anyone that Net Neutrality is a good solution, then *there should certainly not be a law about it*.
Pence and Trump are going nowhere, the losses are among the lower for first midterms, and Kavanaugh will be hearing whatever asinine challenges your side comes up with.
You are beyond delusional - get out of the echo chamber, you are not getting good information.
Apple can sell these for more money because everything else is treated like a knockoff. They are the dominant player, everyone knows that, and no one checks specs since they are all close enough to each other that it doesn't matter.
I know we can expect a raft of posts to follow that explain the important technical and religious differences, but the vast, vast majority of the people buying these just don't care about that stuff, they want to have what is socially considered the best.
Education costs are out of control because of the existence of the student loan program. They couldn't cost $60000 if the individual was paying for it, that is entirely and solely because people can get a loan for that much.
The single dumbest Star Trek premise ever, this one makes even less sense that the one where Paris and Janeway turn into salamanders for no adequately explained reason, mate, and then the kids get left behind with no further thought.
"Macro Virus" - get it? Just like in Word 6.0 documents...
It seems to make good sense to put in some protections against register or other bit flips, they do happen from time to time. He probably meant cosmic rays instead of gamma rays, but that definitely can happen and i have spent many, many, hours of my life putting things in software that detect these and recover properly. I have one processor type that has something like this about once a month, very consistently, over several decades.
Not to mention that *it is a violation of Federal law*, and is also a violation of Federal Acquisition Regulations. The states can play like it is legal but the supremacy clause definitely applies, and if you violate federal law while working under a federal contract, you *will* have consequences, period.

Your screen is spectrally deficient.

This thread of screed from a bunch of computer weenie neckbeards who post from their mom's basement.
Spent $400 to get 1200 cans of grape soda? And Amazon is the sucker in the story?
It will work fine, you just have to make it larger - say, 186,000 miles in diameter. We have documented evidence of functionality.

I am sure he gained great face with the company.
The USA is 64th in the world in frequency of mass shootings per capita.

But they aren't worried about hordes of "immigrant" dedicated to destroying their cultures and replacing it with a death cult?

If you try to apply logical and rational thought to a vegan die-hard, you are going to be really disappointed.
Some as big as a bacteria! Not exactly "Night of the Lepus", not even "The Crawling Eye" (guess what the monster was in that one...)

The word "mobile" is not a noun.

Everybody's an expert, except the people who actually design/build them.
As usual, socialists are showing their true colors.
That's swell, however, no one permitted to but them if another seat is $1 cheaper.
Make gasoline cars instead of diesel smokebombs?
They aren't, for the most part. It's just that people do not pursue the other options, possibly because they don't know any better.
