BTC seems to depend a lot on its brand/image as a cool counterculture for affluent technoanarchists and people who want the aesthetic of being one.. I can not imagine a joint venture with Microsoft and Starbucks will help that image.
Working at a university, I have seen engineering students (undergrad and grad) almost entirely switch over to OSX. It really seems to have taken over for Linux on the desktop.
Nonsense.
Even if bans were being seriously discussed, the goal is to get the majority of firearms out of circulation. The vast majority of people are not going to bother with the expense and risk of black markets, no matter what technolibertarians picture. The cost is generally to high for poor criminals, and thus they become the toys of people with too much wealth to risk with petty crime.
Pretty much every country with a 'ban' still has both legal and illegal ways to own firearms, but the prohibition still does the job of drastically reducing gun deaths.
Let us not forget that this bit of theater started with Defense Distributed being as dramatic and attention seeking as possible. This is one case where both sides found a non-issue to blow up for their mutual advantage.
*nod* which gets into the often hand waved field of industrial engineering. Scaling up to industrial quantities is a whole different bed of nails than producing trace amounts of something in your garage.
That does not make a whole lot of sense. Large herbivores and pretty inefficient, they take far more pounds of feed to produce than the equivalent calories that they eventually become. A vegan or vegetarian diet requires less farming than meat production. The linked piece is based off the increasingly rare practice of just letting animals out to forage, which makes for a nice nostalgic image but is not how modern ranching is done.
I still use a Canon 300D, a positively ancient DSLR, for a lot of my stuff and friends who use smartphone cameras (often with much better sensors) are often amazed at the pictures it can take.
I've seen some recipes from the early 1900s that come pretty close. 'boil everything till it has the constancy of mush and the taste of cardboard so that older more distinguished guests do not have to worry about dentures!'.
I think in general, people who grow up with frequent contact with slaughtering do not mind it, but people who only encounter it a few times but it is otherwise not a part of their world have trouble with it.
It is kinda like, for lack of a better comparison, slavery. People who grow up around slave labor see it as normal, and people who are insulated but benefit from it see it as too abstract but useful to worry, but people who live in countries that do not have it but travel to one that does and witness it tend to come out more strongly against it.
Very few vegans I have met care about engineers plants one way or the other. They mostly just want to reduce animal suffering. I've even known plenty of vegans that are even in favor of things like the vat-grown meat people have been working on.
I already run into problems with one of my NASes. Even if something uses HTTPS, the cert can be old or 'outdated' which Chrome can really complain about, sometimes not even giving you the option to view anyway. Really annoying for embedded devices that you don't replace constantly.
Power users want everything... they want a big drive, lots of ram, powerful cpu, long battery life, thin profile, doesn't heat up, powerful video card, etc etc.
Keep in mind that the workload, the expectations, the things that needed to get done, those did not change. This is a pretty major point since being overworked or not getting tasks completed is a major contributor to stress.

Areas that already have light rail are running well past capacity and are looking to upgrade, and is cheaper to use than driving by a wide margin.
Well yeah, it is Reason.com. 'R'eason is like 'T'ruth for atheists.

oh no, not people making economic decisions based off their particular use cases and amount of disposable income! the horror! the horror!
They have woken up. They then changed their investment portfolio to depend less on having an educated affluent middle class.

Yeah, I never understood why wanting simple tools to accomplish the tasks you are interested in makes you 'dumb'.

Yeah.. a large percentage of 'trump haters' are also gun owners.

On the other hand, most people get their idea of how much crime is occurring from TV. Something becomes a problem because they heard it was a problem.

Yeah, it is really difficult to compete with the subsidies and other indirect economic incentives the cattle industry depends on.
*nod* it all comes down to personal taste and a variety of options.

And Android fanboys just staying triggered.

Since the 90s I've seen my options for broadband providers go from dozens to 2. So yeah, far fewer options.
Since the police had a search warrant, I am not sure there is a constitutional argument to be made.
