I want to eat meat. I will never become a vegan, because I need meat (my levels of B12 and iron constantly falling if I don't eat enough meat, and I rather get it from real food rather than vitamin pills). Find a way to make it sustainable then. It's not a solution to telling everyone to "stop eating meat". I rather have free range or wild, sustainable, organic meat, than industrialized meat. But to not have any at all, is not an option.

Youtube said the same thing a few days ago too. Which is unfair to segregate access to your service based on a profession.

I had Firefox mobile + desktop installed last year, tried it for a few months and really liked it - However, their open tab sync service was down far more often than not. That single glaring problem drove me back to Chrome. I used the most recent Opera for a while as well, but Chrome still wins due the enormous ecosystem of very, very powerful extensions.

What's the word? Has Firefox fixed its tab sync problems between mobile and desktop?

Apple is doing their customers a huge disservice. The decision to move to wireless charging places aesthetics before utility in an effort to create a device without ports, connectors or holes in the chassis in what can only be described as masturbatory design.

Nearly all of Apples competitors - Namely high end Android devices like the Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S8 and coming Note 8, LG, Motorola, Sony, HTC, etc - Are ALL using 15,18+ watt turbochargers that can recharge your device incredibly fast over cheap commodity Micro USB or USB-C industry standard cables.

Apple's wireless charging is going to put their customers in a trickle charge hell of only being able to charge their phone on the one charging pad Apple will include with it, or they'll be forced to purchase additional wireless charging pads for $$$$$$$ from Apple for their car(s), their desk at work, and other spots in the house.

There's a reason all the top Android handset designers dumped wireless charging - It's a gimmick. It's far too low power, EXTREMELY SLOW and requires the special mat plugged to a power source everywhere you wish to use it.

But hey, the real story here is that this lets Apple create yet another SKU to sell at the Apple Store at an astronomical margin, and they'll license it to 3rd parties for $$$$$ per charging mat the same way they license the Lightning connector.

This adds absolutely no convenience to anyones' life and should only make Apple shareholders happy. Pretty like like the removal of the headphone jack.

The EU took the right stance. Even Yanis Varoufakis has said that the idea of taxing robots does not work. This is what needs to be done instead: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.weforum.org%2Fagenda...

I personally *despise* the episodic model. I'm all for the serialized one, and in fact, except Netflix's offerings, the serialized versions found on networked shows pale in comparison (in terms of serialization that is). I'm one of those people who really enjoyed the serializing nature of LOST (minus the disastrous 6th season). I absolutely never watch episodic television. I find it cheap, and non-artistic. In a perfect world, I'd like most TV shows (not all, but most) to end in 3 seasons: beginning-middle-end. And each season to comprise from 6-9 episodes: beginning-middle-end. Like a book.

Non-native EMF (such as from devices) is not the same as EMF from the sun.

    If antibiotics fail, the decades of Soviet research (pre and post-wall Georgia in particular) into bacteriophages may prove to be humanities' savior.

  Have a nasty superbug that antibiotics can't treat? Somewhere out there are equally evil viruses that love to hunt and eat that specific type of bacterium, leaving the host untouched.

Discovering and curating them may be crucial in the near future.

There's no reason for people to think so digitally about this. Systems degradation can be important.

They: Cover tank in reactive armor to defeat or diminish missiles.

You: 1 second hose tank with 30mm DU, the wingman 5 seconds behind you takes the missile shot. Your burst rips all the crap off the outside of their tank, the missile penetrates and destroys it. A few thousand dollars worth of ballistic ammo defeats or diminishes their half million dollar deterrence system, allowing your $70,000 Hellfire missile to killshot the tank.

Didn't we learn our lesson? Hell, even a $49 combo toaster oven waffler clock radio coffee maker sold at Sears in 1977 would teach you that "all in one" systems usually perform each role with mediocre quality at best, and excels at none of them.

The F-35 is a giant flying compromise whose most powerful defense system is the anti-cancellation sensor that blows manufacturing subcontract chaff across tens of states and dozens of different congressional districts making a program scale-down or cancellation kill shot nearly impossible.

Apple is becoming the girlfriend who you started becoming disenchanted with a year ago, but keep seeing because you know each other and have relationship inertia, and it's easier to coast than the scary challenge of starting over.

So, Apple continues to offer less value to consumers yet demands the same, or higher price points. With customers locked into iTunes, locked into iMessage, locked into the app ecosystem on both mobile and desktop, this is a calculated gamble that they can put ho-hum parts in a box on your desk and you won't ask them to get their shit boxed and moved out by the weekend.

And I'm keeping the fucking dog and the espresso machine.

Ego drives Apple.

You'd never guess from their slick video presentations at the yearly press conference that everything in their phone is made by, was invented by, and was assembled by dozens of other companies. Their processors are fabbed by other people, the camera module was created by other people, batteries, wifi & bluetooth radios, batteries, dozens of other parts other people. it's really unclear exactly WHAT Apple makes aside from software and advertising.

The brilliant Israeli engineer behind the A series mobile processor designs? Worked at Intel and IBM before Apple poached him. All three parties were sued by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation over significant processor design patent violations - All of which WARF won, or were hastily settled before trial.

I take that back. It's clear what Apple makes. Apple makes desire. They manufacture wanting.

The passage from Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography where he explains how Jobs spent a few weeks in Paris, walking the streets in the luxury goods district, carefully examining the store interiors, signage, display hardware, merchandise, and speaking with employees - At luxury brands like Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Cartier and others - All companies that take inexpensive materials and through the magic of design, advertising and strategic marketing create luxury products costing huge multiples of their material costs - That passage was extremely telling and greatly helps explain how Apple turns ~$200 worth of components into $650-1000+ devices that people shit themselves over.

According to Wikipedia /2006 data, there were 1.8 million operators of heavy trucks in the United States alone. That number does not including the dispatchers, logistics and other office staff that works to support the huge number of drivers.

All those men and women, working quietly, almost invisibly plying the roads and highways of the country to get your ice cream, flat screens and blue jeans to stores.

The trucking and logistics companies that employ these drivers must be positively salivating at the prospect of firing 1.8 million truck drivers that can each earn potentially $50-70,000 per year with owner-operators earning close to six figures after expenses. Truck drivers that can only legally drive N hours before Y hours DOT mandated down time. Truck drivers that fall asleep, fiddle with the radio, talk on the phone, and through statistically unavoidable human error cause terrible accidents. And this is what the industry will sell America when explaining why they are causing one of the single largest layoffs in American history, throwing the economy into recession as a significant percentage of the American workforce finds themselves unemployed at ages, and without skills allowing ready transition to other employment.

No, it will be about "improving highway safety" and "relieving workers from the tedium of bad jobs." What!? You claim this is about saving money? No salaries, no benefits, and we can run twice as much freight in the same time period because the automated trucks never have to sleep? Why, of COURSE NOT. This is about SAFETY, folks!

The large companies that already run hundreds or thousands of trucks will fire all their drivers. The most successful automation systems will be those that can be readily retrofitted to the existing livery of tractors. They will add additional fuel tanks to the trucks to extend their range. A network of terminals and warehouses will spring up around the major interstates. Trucks will platoon two meters apart at 50 miles per hour for maximum fuel economy and drive non stop on Interstates criss-crossing the country, only pulling off into freight yards in the countryside to drop their trailer, where a human driver will do the last-50-mile delivery to the customer. These last mile delivery truck drivers will become lower paid, poor or no benefit package monkeys earning a fraction of the salary that current OTR Over The Road drivers are paid now.

The problem gentle reader isn't that technology is causing jobs to be replaced by automation, but the PACE of technology replacing jobs by automation is increasing far faster than society seems capable of finding new avenues for those affected to support themselves in comparable, meaningful and fulfilling work.

The President will go on TV to announce a toothless jobs bill earmarking hundreds of millions of dollars for terminated drivers to attend community college to retrain for "exciting careers as solar panel installers!" when most will, in all likelihood, end up working minimum wage jobs at the nearest Autozone parts counter.

Capitalism the Machine(tm) will not stop until absolutely everyone in the United States sits in a cubicle 10 hours a day pushing pixels in Microsoft Office 2035 and all industry and service work has been replaced by foreign manufacturing, robots or exploited immigrants.
