He might have had those reasons at the beginning, but by the time the 2016 elections came around, he was, wittingly or not, a stooge with a grudge. He exposed himself as the corrupt, incompetent political hack when he went spouting conspiracy theories abuot Seth Rich.

Interesting. Noon is when the sun is highest. I had fun explaining time zones to my son the other day. I think he got lost in my train analogy: If the train travels around the earth at the same speed the earth turns, then it's always noon on the train.

narrator voice: they all used apple infrastructure.

No company should have the power to tell another company that they must split up into separate entities.

I really wanted the company to be called ",,," when i read: "This medium post is about a project by three comma employees"

Reminded me of This article from a few years back. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2014/jul/...

A bit more pop-sci, but i found this book a great read about how we went from simple on/off relays to full blown microprocessors.

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold

"About a year ago in iOS 10.2.1, we delivered a software update that improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE. With the update, iOS dynamically manages the maximum performance of some system components when needed to prevent a shutdown. While these changes may go unnoticed, in some cases users may experience longer launch times for apps and other reductions in performance." https://www.apple.com/iphone-battery-and-performance/

Unexpected shutdowns vs. longer app launch times and other reductions in performance. a compromise.

Dolphins put half their brains to sleep at a time.

Apple started developing the Newton in '87 so it's not that surprising to see touch screens in a prototype from around that time.

I think it's about 400 years late to be asking if Muslims are a good fit for US society. Some estimates put the first Muslim in America on the Mayflower, others say 17th century slavery. Either way, Muslims have been in America for a long, long time.

no, and i seriously doubt they were every going to. the list of conditions to be met was long.

Thanks for the memories. it never worked as well as you imagined it would. there are plenty of videos on youtube of it. just search for 'baking soda sub'

yea, but he is right that logic and reason are quickly thrown out the window by many people when the suggestion of either terrorism or child porn are brought up. I've experienced that in person while serving on a jury.

These stats[1] are form 2013, but i always find it interesting that just over 1/2 of the suicides in the US are from self inflicted gun injuries. 1. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm

Damn your duty, I have bills to pay. Point is, why risk my job when my boss wont have my back?

Avoiding the pitfalls of blind nationalism. again.

Geoff Manaugh has an amazing blog about architecture, space, the city and just about everything in between. his write up on his NYT piece. http://www.bldgblog.com/2016/03/panopticops/

"...and for a period of time was part of Microsoft’s Softimage arm, which later became Autodesk." Weird phrasing. Softimage was aquired by Microsoft, then later sold to Avid, which then sold it on to Autodesk.

There is an interesting documentary series based on that quote. Started in 1964 and every 7 years after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_Series

Why is it certainly false?

As a freelancer, the cost to cover my taxes/social security will be calculated into any offer i give. I am in effect employing myself and you are contracting out an employee of my company. The rate given will need to cover the costs of my employees taxes and social security. True i can contract out myself to multiple clients per month and lower my rate by splitting the SS taxes between them. but, in Greece, you run a high risk of work being canceled/delayed and exposing yourself to tax liabilities. Don't get me started on companies that want you to cut an invoice then pay you months later. Putting yourself into a situation where you have income on the books, but not in the hand is a bad idea.

soccer is just slang for "association football" and this whole soccer/football debate is a very modern contrivance.

Adding an extra log line is a bit different than custom tailoring a hardware id check that can't trivially be reverse engineered by a highly motivated party.

interesting stuff. I'd also add that light bulbs got deliberately worse for a while. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel

You are not voting for POTUS. You are voting for your candidates chance to chose your states representative to the electoral collage. it's a state election. not a federal election.

So only the rich will get patents?

The iPhone was a successful diversification.

Duct Tape spotted! Zarya module. look up! three hose fittings? covered in tape. I think i'd live in constant fear of bumping the wrong knob/pipe/lever while floating from one module to the next.
