They are using snap! an apparent derivative of Scratch. Seriously?

The course sounds exactly like my six graders middle school course. Well the six graders did read Hacker News, so I guess that is what makes it a College Level EE course (eyes roll).

Anecdotally evidence: I've been backpacking for 25 plus years and am an avid filter user. But I have met dozens of people who do not, almost all on the AT (where I backpack the most). In the 90's it was quite common to find thru-hikers not using a filter. I have never met anyone who got sick from unfiltered water.

Will this change my behavior. Probably not. But I will stop treating my contaminated side of the filter like it it covered with ebola.

This is exactly why the NTSB was created. They need people to tell the truth to understand why accidents occur. Pilot here. When the FAA calls you lawyer up. When NTSB call you talk like normal people.

And what penalty will the company suffer? Virtually none.

No we will just devalue the currency. There is no reason to default if you can just print more.

“Almost”? It absolutely is designed to abuse workers.

I think the larger bathrooms is an interior config. The airline can design the size of the bathroom.

The batteries are not free. How about a user replaceable battery design?

What about those of us that already paid to have the battery replaced? I was having the automatic shut down issue and Apple was telling me the battery was just fine. Since they refused to warrantee the battery I just ended up paying for another battery.

This was before the issue was really well-known. They were acting as if I was making it up. But yeah, anytime the phone was below 50% battery life I was in danger of having the phone immediately turn off. In my line of work this is not acceptable. Above anything else I need a working reliable phone.

Think of who is remembered from the years around 1000 AD. Basically war generals and scientist. So my top contenders are Einstein and Hitler.

No way Obama is remembered. He is too insignificant. He did noting that will impact life in 1000 years. You are viewing the future with 21st century rose colored glasses.

Can you post a few links of websites that are painfully slow on low end machines? I would like to test with my Son’s $64 Android vs my iPhone X.

Good. The phone is too damn expensive.

My middle school son has a $64 BLU phone. It was subsidized by Amazon in return for ads on the lock screen. Non-subsidized price is around $100. Last week we went to a theme park with a lot of waiting for rides. He played plants vs zombies and YouTube videos non-stop while we waited for rides. I occasionally surfed the web on my $1049 iPhone X.

By 3 PM my iPhone battery was dead. His battery ... 64%. I’m hard pressed to justify the $1000 price tag of my phone after seeing his in action. Yea it takes better pictures and the screen it a little better. But is that worth $1000 premium? Oh yea, my Son’s phone is over a year old. So compared to an iPhone 7 the differences are even less.

Wouldn’t it be if you are dark skinned not faired skin?

I find Alamo service slow, food poor and the seats are not that comfortable. Have you been to the new recliner theaters? They are a much better experience.

The author does not understand Net Neutrality. He gives Netflix as an example of a stock which did fine without it.

The author fails to understand Netflix will benefit if Net Neutrality fails. Customers would not put up with Netflix being blocked or classified at a lower tier. So ISPs are unable to touch it. But a new and upcoming Netflix competitor would be at a disadvantage.

Reads like an advertisement for Cloudflare with minimal actionable info ... except buy Cloudflare.

Not true. Apple pays on the profits made in the US. The trick is to move the patents overseas and charge a lot to use those patents. Thus the US profits are small but the overseas patent royalties are huge.

This. 20 years from now you will be happy you have the best possible pictures of the kids.

I don't understand why they did not put the touch sensor on the back.

But in reality how many times do you unlock your phone and not look at it?

IOS on the 7 has been rock solid. What is wrong on the 6s?

I think a reasonable outcome is free credit monitoring for LIFE. I don't understand how these companies get away with only one year of service as if the information will be removed after that year.

Books can be more hypnotic.

College football is more popular than the NFL. Every game is critically important in college which adds to the excitement. Pro's you can lose a few and still make the SuperBowl.

The RedSkins can't fill their stadium in a major market. Try to get Alabama tickets ... or NotreDame ... or Penn State all in minuscule markets.

"We guarantee software updates for 2 years"

Damn you Android guys have it bad. Apple pushes the software updates down your throats years after purchase.

App developer here. It is impossible to build an app for the original iPad. Apple tools will not allow you to compile backwards compatibility to iOS 6 (or is it 5?).

One US aircraft carrier has the combined fire power of all of the other world Navy's combined. And we got 11 of them. That is how superior the US Navy is to anything else I the world.

Two days is not enough. Try being off it for a week. I bet you will feel terible on day 4.
