Exactly this! Sunshine is free, right! But blind people can't see it, so the real world is not ADA compliant. Perhaps the courts will rule that we need to destroy the sky, because if the blind people can't see the sun, then no one should be allowed to see it.
Yep, and we should get rid of cars too. Blind people can't drive them, so they must not be ADA compliant. If the blind can't have and drive in a car, then no-one should have one.
You're right, I said that wrong. I think I may have read about another aproach some genetics labs are using with mosquitoes that is slightly different. Even in this case, it isn't complete sterility, or the female would not have eggs to lay and would try another male. I think they create eggs that don't develope. So, they can impegnate the female, they just can't have offspring.
Like getting to the end of a race track cannot ever happen. To get to the end you first have to get 1/2 the way there. To get to the half way point, you first must get to the 1/4 point. To get there, you must first get to the 1/8 point. You have an infinite number of steps to get from the start to the end so there are always more steps between and you can never complete it. This is one of Zeno's Paradoxes and it is shown to be false basically because of calculus.
So saying you cannot complete an infinite number of steps in a finite amount of time is wrong!

They use the Lightning connector (not a 3.5mm jack), but it won't make much difference unless you need to charge at the same time.
Because, who would want to listen to music all day while working, right? And if you can't charge and listen, then you only have the time the battery lasts to listen to music. And then after that, you can't use the phone for anything else until you charge it up again.
I know all that, and doesn't contradict the fact that sterile females are a better idea if you want to wipe out a population.
Except that the remaining fertile females will still produce another generation of males and females. So you release more sterile females and you continue to get fertile ones mating. With sterile males, every female that mates with one will have only sterile male offspring. So there are fewer and fewer fertile males and the females cannot fine any fertile males to mate with. Big difference in the way it progresses.
My daughter has lived her six years with no cable television so far. While watching the Olympics last year on over the air signals she found the commercials to be her favorite part. When you never get to see them they are new and cool I guess.
If the cop is not acting lawfully, then I am within my rights to kill said criminal in self defense. The fact that cops have so often acted unlawfully and as a group they are close to being a criminal organization gives me fear of them and I have the right to defend myself against anyone in blue who looks at me funny! They all deserve to die just for deciding to take the job and the fact that they haven't ratted out the corruption in their ranks makes them just as big of criminals as the "bad apples" that everyone likes to talk about. And the saying is actually "one bad apple ruins the whole bunch" not the way the police like to turn it around where it doesn't ruin the bunch. If you have ever had a pile of apple you know what one bad one can do.
And you can go to the computer store to try out the HTC Vive. Same thing. I saw the Vive set up for demos at the Microcenter near me a few weeks ago. I have also heard they have them at Game Stop stores and possibly Microsoft stores.
Yeah, this! Without the motion controllers, VR would be like an improved 3D movie where you can now look around. When you add the motion controllers and room-scale it changes things. Now you can reach out and pick up the object. You can turn it over to look at the underside and pass it from hand to hand to check it out at all angles. In one game I even picked up a had off of the coat rack and put it on my head. Everywhere I walked in the room, I had the brim of the hat sticking out over my vision, at least until I took it off and through it across the room. The motion controllers turn it from looking at something cool, to being in another place entirely.
But then again, why gamble when you can have other people take the risk for you and still reap the benefits if it goes well or even if it doesn't go well.
It isn't worth the switch back and forth. When it gets really hot and humid we turn on the AC. Before then we enjoy using the whole house attic fan to push out the hot air in the house and draw in the cooler air in the evenings. After the heat drops off for a few days, we don't usually turn the AC off and go back to the house fan because the humidity is the real killer. If the AC has been running all day to get the house cooler and dryer, if you open the windows up at night you undo all the work that went in through the whole day. You might be pulling in cooler air at night, but the next day when it gets hot again, the AC will have to work extra hard to get the humidity out of the inside air again. It works better if you just stick to the AC until the fall when you can turn it off for good.
Well, the 10K is for people getting killed by a gun, so that is bad and we must stop it! And the 116K is for people defending themselves from other violent people by using a gun, and that is bad and we must stop it. Only the police should be allowed to stop violent criminals. And they can stop by after they finish their donuts. And when they do show up they can shoot you or the neighbor and that is ok, since they are not a violent criminal or a self-defensing home-owner.

In real life, Google has already seen a variation of this. When the car follows the rules exactly other people take advantage or don't understand what the vehicle is going to do and cut in front of the car. The example I am thinking of is how the car's actions had to be changed at stop signs. If it stopped completely and waited for it's turn the other people on the road would go instead of waiting. Instead they had to program some aggressive behavior that would creep the car forward when it felt it was it's turn. This is how people drive and how you communicate to the other people that it is your turn. If someone is staring at their feet instead of driving through the intersection, then I am going to take my turn first, but if they show they are ready to go when it is their turn, then they can go.
Somehow I doubt that sending thousands of videos a day showing other people cutting your turn at a stop sign would get much action from the police or the licensing departments.
Snowden was a contractor as had no whistle-blower protections at all. He did try to notify his superiors of his issues, but they were ignored, much like how you are ignoring all the facts that have come out about Snowden and his revelations.
This may be unusual, but it is still less of a difference than the difference between driving and manual and driving an automatic.
If it was very different there would not be the same problem. If you had an up and a down button rather than a shifter it would be much more clear that you need to do something different from what you are used to doing. It would also be much more clear that you need to check the indicators to see which gear you are in. The fact that they made the gear shift look and feel like the older style makes your muscle memory act like it does in all the other cars you drive without thinking about it.
And for the people that are talking about getting used to it, that isn't as easy as you imply. My older Jeep has the electric window buttons in between the front seats instead of on the doors like most cars. If I am driving that vehicle regularly I get used to it. But if I drive the Honda for a few days, with the window switches on the doors, I then find myself reaching the wrong way when I am back in the Jeep. I see the sense of putting the switches in the middle, there is fewer of them needed and the passenger can operate all four widows when the driver is busy, but it still is confusing because the muscle memory means you reach to the door when you want to operate the windows. And muscle memory is probably the biggest point in this being a bad design. It isn't that people can't learn that it is different, it is that when you reach down to the shifter your arm does the motions you have learned without you even thinking about it. When that motion completes as expected you will not think about whether the desired outcome has been achieved. If the shifter moved left and right rather than up and down it would break your muscle memory when you tried to shift all the way up to park and it didn't move. Then you would need to actively think about the action rather than just doing it on autopilot.
I don't ride, but isn't the 1N2... pattern a bit silly? When you get rolling, you have to tap the lever twice to go from 1 to 2 - doesn't that make it feel weird?
The N is actually half way between the 1 and 2. You have to gently push down from 2 or up from 1 to get into N. Going from 1 to 2 or from 2 to 1 is very easy to do and is the same motion as any other gear change, ie. 3 to 4.
You might think that, but we just had an article about a robot that has tried to escape its lab twice in two weeks. That sure sounds like an obsessive robot to me.

50 parents. We are not told how many kids were in the study.
Just go back to the days of AOL and Compuserve. If their list of sites is filtered for safe stuff, then you just stick there and you see only that!
Why don't you look at what happens to the taxes that a government gets when the population fails to have a next generation.

We call it "interrogating" here in the USA, not torture.

Right! And what we call light bulbs are actually dark suckers. They suck in the dark so you end up with light left over.
But then again, why gamble when you can have other people take the risk for you and still reap the benefits if it goes well or even if it doesn't go well.
Fixed that for you!
Too bad they can't get Miracle Max to help them out. Nobody has seen him around these parts for quite a while.
