It's not a new state between life and death; it's a new state between death and decomposition. Cells, tissues and organs have a "life" of their own and can continue "living" after the organism dies given the right conditions (as organ transplants prove).
The saddest part is that one group of billionaires can lay smack on another billionaire, and the po folktake up sides on it.
I'm actually somewhat encouraged that the 1% suddenly seem to care what po folks think of them. This is a big change from corporate attitudes just 10 years ago during the Occupy Wallstreet movement.
The Linux user interface blows because it's not consistent.
Tell that to Windows 10, Windows RT,...
Exactly! When Microsoft got rid of the Start menu in Windows 8/RT, there was a user revolt that was swift and vicious. So much so, that they quickly put out an update (8.1) to bring back the Start menu, and pushed up the release of Windows 10 which returned the Start menu desktop to the default state and made the tablet-style RT menu just a bad memory. A big corporation hasn't reversed course that fast since New Coke. The lesson here is that for typical users, a consistent user interface is one of the most important things an OS provides.
"Owning" company stock via an index fund or ETF or mutual fund does not grant you voting rights. You have to actually own individual company stock in order to vote.
Monotype isn't into the whole "giving things away for free" bit (Helvetica Now is $42 for each version). If it's in Linux (legally), it's not Helvetica.
From the description, it seems like it's counting buildings rather than people. While buildings certainly imply human habitation, there are so many exceptions (farming/retail/industrial/utility buildings, abandoned homes, seasonal homes, homeless people, nomads, migrants, refuges, homes with more or less occupants than average [and how do you determine average]) that the results would be next to useless.
When you ban a weirdo, he gets driven to a smaller website of other banned weirdos
You say that like it's somehow a bad thing. Getting the weirdos out of mainstream channels and into their own private echo-chambers means vulnerable people (teens, mentally challenged and unstable people, etc) aren't exposed to their weirdness and are far less likely to join them.
Trump's tariffs and "trade wars" are the reason why many companies are moving their production back to the US.
You mean companies like Harley Davidson who are cutting production in the US because Trump's tariffs hurt their European sales (where all the growth is)?
The economy goes in cycles. We're overdue for a contraction.
That's certainly true. It's been over a decade since the last recession, so one is likely on the way in the next 6 to 12 months. Trump's tariffs, trade wars and general instability certainly haven't helped, but a recession probably would have happened anyway. The real problem though is that the tools government normally uses to help ease a recession (cutting taxes and lowering interest rates) have already been used by Trump early in his term in a vain attempt to boost his popularity. Taxes can't be cut any further and he stopped the fed from raising rates during the boom so there's no room to lower them during the bust. This is going to be another bad recession with another long, slow recovery.
Companies all over are scaling back their fixed costs because they know another recession is coming in the next 6 to 12 months thanks to Trump's tariffs/trade wars/general instability. It'll be a bad one too, because the tools government normally uses to fight recession (tax cuts & interest rate cuts) have already been used by Trump in a failed attempt to boost his popularity.
Not storing passwords in plaintext is Computer Security 101. Even companies with atrocious security histories like Yahoo and Microsoft don't do that (at least recently). Sure a hacker can eventually break a hashed password, but at least it takes time and resources meaning the users with bad passwords get hacked first. But when passwords are stored in plaintext, tR0b4dOr&3 isn't any safer than PASSWORD123
A freaking socialist wants to break up the companies that give the US a competitive advantage over China and Russia.
When are people going to wake up and clue in that socialists are un-American traitors?
Yes, Warren is just like the original trust-buster, that well-known un-American socialist traitor, Republican president Theodore Roosevelt. It's quite revealing of how far the Republican party has fallen that all the things Teddy's presidency stood for (trust-busting, regulation, environmental protection, expanding Federal government) are now viewed by his party as "lefty" and "socialist".
Wordpad is not a text editor, it's a very basic word processor which uses Rich-Text-Format (though it can save in TXT by stripping out the extra formatting). When looking for "more" in a text editor, it's usually features like syntax highlighting, macros, CR-LF conversion, etc.
We can't rely on natural selection to solve all our problems. For one thing it takes too long and there's no guarantee that the stupid people will get a preventable disease that kills them before they pass on their stupid genes. Secondly, it mostly doesn't even effect them, just their children and other people's children. Thirdly, as the brave young man in the story proves, stupidity seems to be transmitted mostly by memes rather than genes, so natural selection doesn't work on it at all.
In order to qualify for the Oscars, Netflix does release its movies in cinemas (which disqualifies them for Emmy consideration). Spielberg's argument is disingenuous. It has nothing to do with preserving the "cinema experience" and everything to do with preserving the Hollywood studio system and it's arcane release windows. It's a system that encourages big budget blockbusters (the kind of movies Spielberg makes) and hurts low budget niche films (the kind that Netflix makes).
Proxies take time and resources to set up, which is likely why the disruption happened on election day and not weeks before, so they wouldn't have time to respond.
In addition to being cheaper than mobile phones, they also make more efficient use of radio bandwidth, have better reception (with fewer transmission towers) and have a battery life that smartphones (hell even feature phones) can only dream of.
Starting earlier this week, a certain section of the internet -- for whatever reason -- decided to start filing fake negative reviews in an attempt to purposefully lower the film's Audience Rating.
The reason apparently is a toxic mixture of misogyny and fanboyism.

I guess the UK doesn't need the EU. They seem perfectly capable of creating their own internet-destroying regulations.

Actually, a big part of cutting the cord (to "oldskool" cable TV) generally includes free, over-the-air, antenna-based TV (i.e. "very oldskool" TV).

Nothing in the article you linked to contradicts anything guruevi said. Maybe you should read it.

Hmmm, maybe the Terracotta Army is actually some ancient, failed, rent-a-statue business venture.
