The real illusion is to believe in the paradigm of hierarchy and security clearances. The social class system is based on the level of information made available. The ones on top are liberated, and they most likely want to keep it that way. The funny thing is that it's all based on nothing, because everybody can act however one likes regardless. The system is build with sand, which can be blown away without any effort. The scariest thing is how much real iron the illusionary system has accumulated for protection and how the physical means act as a catalyst for more power, reinforcing the emotion.
Well, surely lives should not depend on unverified and non-peer reviewed research as the summary sensationally implies. Because of the due process the falsified results were revealed before any actual danger. Most likely the falsified results were also publicized for immediate consumption well before any verification, which actually created new ground for false hopes.
In 1984 popular culture was generated by machine algorithm, and people happily hummed along with the nonsense. I think it's a bit late already to prevent that from happening...
Isn't the main reason to not store money at home the protection against inflation? The value of cash will erode over time. Banks mainly provide facilities for handling the money, and some plans reward the customer with an interest rate that beats the inflation. Besides at the moment having Bitcoin savings at home seems the least riskiest option...
Playing Spy vs Spy with the government is a form of democratic control of things related to you. That control has been lost to agencies and bureaucrats. There should be a trusting relationship, but the trust is broken. The trust itself is based on an empty facade, which was effectively proven by Snowden (and others..). The power is an illusion. In the end an individual can independently act regardless of the conditioning.
Phones capable of running Android are their major target. Interview of the CEO from today:
In addition to applications, Jolla exploits Android’s ecosystem also in another way. Jolla’s Sailfish operating system works in almost any Android device. Due to this Jolla can subcontract its devices for a reasonable price from any smart phone manufacturing company in Asia. .... One more plus for Jolla is that the Android compatibility makes it very easy for other smart phone companies now using Android to change their OS to Jolla’s Sailfish. .... According to Pienimäki, Jolla is also planning to let individual users to download Sailfish operating system into their Android-devices.
Traveling doesn't require much intelligence, basically it's just walking unless one happens to end up floating on a piece of wood. It's more about hunger. The basic needs drive innovation. Energy returned of energy invested has to be kept low (no use in running after the pray for days), which leads to more effective methods.
I thought Slashdot was the place for rational individuals. Instead many of the posters are simply in denial what's happening. Of course AGW is being exploited, but the change is still real, and the humans have changed the Earth's atmosphere and the capacity to react to such sudden changes. What's happening now on the global scale is a natural feedback for the historically sudden input by one species and its technology.
If you still don't find that logical - taking into account simple physical phenomena known for over 100 years (and direct observations) - imagine this:
Alien race starts to pour greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere. Who do you think is guilty of the resulting warming? What if the alien race starts to chop trees and rain forests, and - gasp - what if they actually maintain billion head cattle population (responsible of major chunk of the greenhouse gas emissions)?
The cattle population for example would be at its natural level if we stopped feeding it, letting the cattle to find its own food.
It's amazing how denial can work, isn't it? It's natural however - the first phase of confronting something uneasy - but it's still there on the path to understanding, so don't worry you are well on your way.
The polygraph adds stress, and it becomes more difficult to lie in a coherent manner. Of course the test can be beaten, but if the operator is observable and skillful the signs can be picked. So it's not so much (or not at all) about the actual graphing. Staring at the machine will not yield any usable result. The eyes are on the one being tested.
Could that be possible? To build a particle collider in the orbit (or at a Lagrange point). Focusing of the beam wouldn't be easy, but it would be certainly doable. I'm thinking a straight collider or a giant laser like setup. I wonder how protected the system should be of outside interference?
The cosmic rays themselves probably randomly collide too with each other and create exotic byproducts. I wonder what's the actual chance of a natural head-on collision...
From our small indie label recent listings: Spotify stream play unit compensations go from $0.0004 to about $0.009. Spotify easily creates most of the plays however. Imagine artists who get only fraction of that because of royalty agreements... Spotify is a great site for music discovery.
The best option is to completely disregard advertising.
The facebook will still have a nicely tracked trail of your behavior, and the advertisers made you participate in some way. Your actions may be visible to your friends, who are so also exposed to the same advertisers by you. Now you are almost naming the companies and brands even, so that's only a continuation of the campaign... With a cunning strategy and successful execution the overall visibility grows huge.
Solution: robot children and pedestrians. Anyway, wearable computing will make the garments aware of the surroundings. Trying to cross the road? Your pants know better!

The news is that the astronaut, the artist and the US government are together in a some kind of hot water arrangement, presumably since then.

Not necessarily. Apple is the profit leader of the whole industry.The market grows faster than Apple can deliver, but money flows in regardless.
Tis' a great blow for object oriented programming.

Must have been quite a night!
Google play and services can be installed on Jolla (and other devices too?).

With a pinch of salt?

Nothing inadequately conventional?

Therefore, they don't NEED nuclear.
Sure, let's keep burning those fossils fuels to the bitter end.
So it's an advanced, immaterial sex doll. Probably the adult industry will move on to employ similar creations in live web shows.

I'd guess that would happen if the NSA etc operations begin to worsen the actual user experience.
