Yeah, I know that most of the jobs are warehouse type jobs, and they don't pay much.

On the other hand, at least until recently, working with your brain at Amazon seems to have its own challenges -- Amazon promises to change its 'Hunger Games' employee review process. Don't know if things are any better yet. I'd make a President Snow -- Jeff Bezos comparison joke, but the hair is all wrong.
If you were to take apart a lithium-ion battery, you'd find a positive electrode called the anode and a negatively charged electrode called the cathode. There's a thin separator that sits between the anode and cathode. Everything else is filled up with liquid, or electrolyte. Charging the battery causes positively charged ions to flow through the liquid from the negative side to the positive side. As you use the battery, the ions flow in the opposite direction.
Dear Editors, Thanks for explaining, on a tech site, how, basically, every battery works.
... saying the plaintiffs didn't show "concrete" harm from the way the gaming company stores and uses their biometric data.
Since the current and future potential problems are not known and biometric data can't really be changed, seems like it would be prudent to want to protect your biometric data *before* something bad happens, and not wait until *after* something bad happens -- you know that "concrete" harm -- that cannot really be undone.
Problem is Sprint uses the same technology as Verizon.
On the other hand... I use Ting with a CDMA phone (Kyocera Hydro Vibe) and the underlying network is Sprint. However, they also have a roaming agreement with Verizon for out-of-Sprint coverage. Also noting that you can get GSM phones from Ting, which (I believe) uses the T-Mobile network.
I'm not a heavy phone/text/data user so Ting's block pricing works well for me. So far, the coverage seems to be pretty wide and reliable. My monthly bill seems to alternate between $13 and $17 (and change). My highest bill was $24 when I first got my phone and it did a firmware update over the air -- I didn't have WiFi at home at that time.
Nobody has to be trampled by the jackboots of your authoritarian scientific "facts" anymore, Bill Gates! People are free to choose their own facts in Trump's America!
And... Trump brand Jackboots are fabulous -- seriously, the best -- though they're made in China.
Since you can't seem to make an argument w/o resorting to name calling...
Obama didn't demote the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence. In addition, previous to her appointment as National Security Advisor, Rice, among other things:
served in the Clinton administration in various capacities: at the National Security Council (NSC) from 1993 to 1997; as director for international organizations and peacekeeping from 1993 to 1995; and as special assistant to the president and senior director for African affairs from 1995 to 1997.
was appointed U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in 2008
Steve Bannon worked at Goldman-Sachs, produced a few movies and ran a right-wing newspaper.
Not a single American was killed on U.S. soil by citizens from any of those countries between 1975 and 2015, according to statistics tallied by the conservative-leaning Cato Institute.
However, the same set of statistics show that nearly 3,000 Americans were killed by citizens from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt in the same time period - with the bulk of those killed being victims of the 9/11 attacks. Yet, people from those three countries are still welcome to apply for U.S. visas and travel permits.
In a striking parallel, Trump’s sprawling business empire — which he has refused to rescind ownership of — holds multi-million dollar licensing and development deals in all of those countries, raising potential conflict of interest concerns and alarming questions over what actually went into the decision process behind Friday’s executive order.
... Trump has kicked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence off the National Security Council and installed Steve Bannon in their place.
“Well, he is a former naval officer,” Mr. Spicer said of Mr. Bannon on ABC’s “This Week.” “He’s got a tremendous understanding of the world and the geopolitical landscape that we have now.”
Bannon was an officer in the United States Navy for seven years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, serving on the destroyer USS Paul F. Foster as a Surface Warfare Officer in the Pacific Fleet and stateside as a special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon.
Makes him *way* more valuable than the, "four-star general who heads the Joint Chiefs, Joseph F. Dunford Jr., who rose through the Marine Corps and served in Iraq and Afghanistan." who was on the NSC. (from the NY Times article above)/sarcasm
At least with Trump, this will be a HUGE shit-show, the biggest, best shit-show...
Apparently, most of that money went toward ammunition for actually trying to shoot the Moon, until someone Googled "moonshot". After that, they also Googled "moonshine" and then sold their stock in rock polishing products.
Not everything one doesn't like, agree with or understand is "fake news". And unless you're severely impaired, you must realize that there are other slang and common usages for words, like lemming and ostrich. And... I was replying to someone throwing around words like "snowflake" for "liberals" -- which is especially ironic (for lack of a better word) as Trump and is cabinet seem prone to throwing toddler temper-tantrums at the slightest slight, push-back or fact-check, which often and also ironically are composed of pointing out things he/they actually said, tweeted, etc... or are easily, objectively proven contrary -- apparently Trump doesn't understand how video/audio tape works.
But I digress. A common non-literal usage of lemming:
lemming
A member of a crowd with no originality or voice of his own. One who speaks or repeats only what he has been told.
Of course, it can be argued that there is a bit to a lot of this across the political spectrum, but it seems like Trump supporters and the Conservative news outlets, like Fox News, are especially prone to it.
True and those sources also contain fiber, which slows the digestion/metabolism of the sugar.
Not much. White bread has a glycemic index of 75. Whole wheat bread has a glycemic index of 74. Both higher than table sugar at 65. You can also test this yourself. Each a few slices of bread, wait an hour, and measure blood glucose. It will be up sharply, meaning that the glucose is already entering the bloodstream while the fibers are still in your gut.
Most white bread has zero (or almost zero) fiber and most whole-wheat bread isn't much better. And hunter-gathers don't really hunt/gather bread. Most fruits, nuts and vegetables have lower glycemic loads. But to support the initial statement, from Dietary fiber: Essential for a healthy diet (and other places):
Benefits of a high-fiber diet
Helps control blood sugar levels. In people with diabetes, fiber — particularly soluble fiber — can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels. A healthy diet that includes insoluble fiber may also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Also, we're talking about adequate fiber in the diet, not just 3-6g. From the second page of the above link:
Fiber: Daily recommendations for adults:
Age 50 or younger, Age 51 or older
Men: 38 grams, 30 grams
Women: 25 grams, 21 grams
You should watch the video I originally referenced, it's from the a lecture series at UCSF and is pretty interesting - though it's also 90 minutes.
Hunter-gatherers ate quite a bit of sugar, that's where the 'gatherer' part comes in. Berries, fruits, vegetables - all of these contain sugars, and sometimes in great quantities. Did you perhaps mean to say 'processed' sugars like glucose?
True and those sources also contain fiber, which slows the digestion/metabolism of the sugar.
I recommend this video Sugar: The Bitter Truth by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, about how sugar is metabolized (in extreme detail) by the body.
Ubuntu only requests reboots if the kernel changes, and that's rare.
I don't know about requesting a reboot, but after updating from the command-line, apt-get displayed a message saying a reboot is required to replace the running dbus instance, so it can happen for more than just a kernel change.

Is there really a use case for having data while in a phone call?
I imagine the practical use cases are few, but I have seen a co-worker use Google Maps while on a call productively.

Of course you did. Cheers.

Let's ban the internet and lobby congress for more DRM.
And that would have worked under Hillary with her cozy Hollywood relationships.
Under Trump, Hollywood can go pound sand.
One fun thing Trump could do to get back at the screeching entertainment industry going after him; halve the current copyright expiration period.
Not to worry, Trump will ban the Muslim Internet. :-)

The two don't exactly compare.
You'd spend your days more profitably worrying about whether you'll choke to death.
So true. President George W. Bush was almost taken out by a pretzel: President George W. Bush fainted after choking on a pretzel in 2002
Pretzel's are sneaky and dangerous little fuckers.

... Trump has kicked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence off the National Security Council and installed Steve Bannon in their place.
That's because Trump Administration Defends Bannon’s Role on Security Council:
“Well, he is a former naval officer,” Mr. Spicer said of Mr. Bannon on ABC’s “This Week.” “He’s got a tremendous understanding of the world and the geopolitical landscape that we have now.”
And I sure that vast experience from his 7 years in the Navy from the late 1970s to early 1980s:
Bannon was an officer in the United States Navy for seven years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, serving on the destroyer USS Paul F. Foster as a Surface Warfare Officer in the Pacific Fleet and stateside as a special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations at the Pentagon.

I think John would say to today's politicians. 'The problem is, young warlock, that you wish to talk but you don't wish to listen.'
Any politicians in particular, like maybe the one in the US doing the homage to his role as High Chancellor Adam Sutler?
