search Bing for whatever porn you want, let's say tentacle henai, then click on the "Video" tab. It will pull up lots of videos of tentacle hentai. Also you can watch these videos from Bing search results without going to the video's originating website (which can be very sketchy and full of malware)
he needs mental help. Supposedly he was diagnosed as a schizophrenic in childhood and been on psychiatric drugs ever since.
How about if they change "Let's raise money for James's legal defense" into "Let's raise money so this loony can be locked up in a proper mental asylum and given treatment", maybe it won't be so objectionable then.
Pound is just as good as kilograms. Only fuckups that have happened were because there are two competing standards and somebody got the two mixed up.
There is nothing universally good about the number 10, we only think that because our monkey ancestors gave us 10 fingers. A more advanced alien species might have 12 tentacles and think our base10 system is retarded.
Both cards, however, are more power-hungry, louder and run hotter than NVIDIA's high-end GeForce GTX 1080.
I have a GTX 1080 and it runs pretty damn hot already. Whenever I fire up the Oculus Rift, the graphic card's auto fan kicks in and I can feel the many thousands of btu's of heat emanating into my (non-air conditioned) basement.
It doesn't help that my computer has vents on top of the case, so I can just move my hand slightly over to the right from my sitting position and feel the heat.
I'm starting to think the Fed is largely responsible for fueling the current bubbles, including Bitcoin. Artificially low interest rates, expansion of the money supply, Quantitative Easing in its various iterations (version 1, 2, 3, and now 4 coming).
Ever watch the movie Big Short? It explains the 2007 housing bubble but puts the blame on evil bankers and their subprime loans + mortgage-backed securities. Well yes the bankers are greedy and probably evil, but the movie misses the point -- the ultimate driver of the bubble was Fed flooding the market with easy money. If the cheap money wasn't there, bankers wouldn't gamble so recklessly. Then once the housing bubble took off and home prices just kept going up, loaning more of the cheap money to low-income people with no hope of ever paying it back seemed OK because house prices were rising so fast that the equity in the house would cover everything. Of course they didn't consider the possibility that housing prices might fall...
Fed should not have the power to set interest rates, interest should be determined by free market forces. Note how they *never* set the interest rate above what would be a reasonable market rate, it's always below.
If you're 45 year old white/asian guy trying to get a SV job, just wear a dress and a wig and talk in falsetto and claim you're a Trans. You'll get hired right away.
Just remember to sit when you pee in the gender-neutral bathroom.
Every 5 years the Chinese Communist Party has a big meeting and various leadership positions get shuffled around. It just so happens that another one of these is about to happen in a few months.
Xi Jinping came into power in 2012 and it's widely believed that he will renew his position. Regardless, Chinese government always cracks down on various channels of dissent just before these meetings, or some other big event (such as Beijing Olympics). It usually blows over afterwards and things go back to normal.
So if you wrote a memo saying "I believe men and women are equal" and your company execs disagreed with you and fired you for writing that memo, you would be totally okay with that? You wouldn't raise a stink, you wouldn't talk to the media, you would just go away quietly and look for another job?
Nikola Tesla's life obsession was wireless transmission of electrical power. A company that actually makes devices running on wireless power should be called Tesla!
He didn't give a shit about battery powered cars btw
I'm a native English speaker and I can't understand a damn word in most Youtube aviation videos. Seriously, go watch one with radio chatter and see if you can make out what they're saying. It's like listening to Greek.
So unless they make the control tower AI also, or have the air traffic controllers issue computer-friendly text instructions, there is no way a computer will be able to fly all by itself.
Among the western community of astronomers there are also questions about the scientific purpose of the FAST telescope.
I recall reading something about giant skyscrapers and economic bubbles. The construction of the world's tallest building is usually followed by an economic bubble bursting.
The argument I believe was, very tall skyscrapers are actually not economically efficient, because more and more internal space needs to be taken up with elevators. Also at some point the added cost of building higher and higher becomes greater than the cost of simply buying another lot and making another building there. Therefore whenever you see a new #1 tallest building in the world going up, that's a sign of economic excess and status-seeking ego, rather than an efficient allocation of capital.
Anyways it makes me wonder if this #1 gigantic radio telescope (which western scientists say is not even that useful) is another sign of China's economic bubble about to burst.
TRUMP: If you don't start making iPhones in USA to Make America Great Again, imma tell all the Breitbart readers to sell AAPL. Then your stock price will tank and you'll be sorry!
COOK: If you do that I'll dump all my US treasuries, interest rates will go up and tank the economy. Then you'll be a one term President!
People bringing with them cold hard cash, and spending them in USA = boon for the economy
People bringing nothing, and actually sending whatever money they make back to their original country to feed their relatives back home = drain on the economy
People with skills who produce wealth = boon for the economy
People with no marketable skill who collect entitlements = drain on the economy
So if I find a vulnerability in Acme Corporation's custom in-house application, that exists nowhere else, and write a tool that specifically targets https://acmecorp.com/ and downloads their entire customer database, and sell it to someone who uses it to hack them, did I commit a crime or no?
After all, I only wrote code and sold it, I did not personally hack their servers.
if you don't have a computer to plug your VR kit into, 2500-3000 is the price tag you're looking at
Prices dropped since the last time you looked. Oculus Rift is now $399.
I was a skeptic like you. Surely it's just a fad like the 3DS and 3D TV. But after checking out the demo at Best Buy, I changed my mind. It's a fundamentally different experience from any of its 3D predecessors. It's just WAY better. The technology is finally here that delivers the real goods.
I think we might be at the iPad phase of VR. Tablets have been around for a long time before that (Newton, Palm etc) but they were all lame. So when iPad was announced people laughed. But 2010 was finally the year that had all the pieces align to give us a good tablet.
Yes there's still the chicken-and-egg problem of not having AAA titles and studios not making them because there's not enough VR units sold yet. I think Sony and Facebook and HTC should band together and develop a common interface thingie so if you write a game for Oculus, it'd be trivial to port it to Playstion VR. The total number of Oculus and Playstation VR and HTC Vibe sold so far is pretty substantial.
And don't forget, Minecraft VR edition is out. Minecraft all by itself is a pretty big deal.
CA gets more small and medium earthquakes like the 1989 Loma Prieta and 1994 Northridge earthquake, but Seattle area has more potential for mega earthquakes of biblical proportions.

less than a 10 percent battery efficacy drop over 60 discharging/charging cycles of 120 hours
How does this compare to current lithium batteries? I thought my phone's battery was better (I heard like 100 recharges without any significant drop)

I mean, it can't be any worse than inviting "Clock Boy" to the White House, right?

That means Netflix should be able to stream the next two Star Wars movies, but it'll miss out on the new trilogy's final installment.
and nothing of value was lost...
Tesla's gotta be better than mortgage-backed securities, right? And Bernanke/Yellen bought plenty of those.

No doubt so they can reboot Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!
