You're exactly right.

Which is why Hillary should be in jail and Comey shouldn't be.

The reason governments are attempting to ban cash worldwide is exactly because it's so hard to do exactly what you're describing.

Why is this on Slashdot? Is it because the 3D render looks pretty?

I prefer all the "concept vehicles" in Star Wars, personally.

And there are sketches on DeviantArt that are more detailed.

Most geeks who are in the market for a Pi have several bluetooth keyboards, mice and other accessories laying around.

But the point isn't to use it as a computer, as much as it is to use it as a component for which you might not need any dedicated accessories.

This is exactly the kind of thing that logically challenged policymakers will mistake for a causality.

Next thing you know they'll be buying blocks of IP addresses and waiting for GDP to rise.

... and that, as we all know... is transparent aluminum.

If you want to know what the precursor to deflation in a sector, or the broader economy is, it's referred to by economists as an "overhang in productive capacity".

It's when there's more productiion than demand. And .. it's bad. Really bad.

It's an indication that an industry or a society has jumped the shark, and investment has crossed the line into mal-investment by exceeding consumer demand.

That's where we are now.

We have too many app developers. Too many coders. Too many UX designers. Too many entrepreneurs seeking first-mover advantage on new platforms.

Along comes the Echo and *bang*... there's a glut before there was ever a "thing".

Historically and mathematically speaking what comes next is a withering of said capacity. It's not going to be fun.

There are plenty of dry valleys in Antartica that have far more in common with Mars than Hawaii.

If the reasoning behind the choice of "Hawaii" is cost then.. yeah. That's an even better parallel then.

1) iPad Pro: Meh.
2) Apple Watch: Meh.
3) MBP 2016: Meh
4) iPhone 7: Meh
5) Airpods?

I'm going to go with "Meh".

We already know what works and what doesn't work in VR.

In general, vehicular games are awesome. Flying, driving, magic carpets, etc.

Running games are pretty weak as it never feels like you're running.

And worst of all are "twitch" games which involve high velocity turns and mouse-looks.

Doom 3 is a twitch game, and a running game. It's a terrible idea for a VR port.

What? Someone apparently needs a civics lesson. That's not how our democracy works. We have a "democratic republic". What you're referring to is a "direct democracy", which we don't have (for good reason).

As a test though, I suggest you take a vote and ask how many Americans want free housing, free food, free education and free Netflix. Then come back to me and tell me how well your juvenile "Winner takes all" voting is working out.

Seriously. Did you read the article?

This article says that it's the hottest in 20 years.

Do you understand how patently *meaningless* that is?

We're in the middle of El Niño right now. Take that away and it's the hottest in 20 years. That's it. TWENTY.

That is nothing. It's not *remotely* relevant data for any legitimate form of long term climate analysis. It's a tiny movement over a fraction of a nanosecond of geologic time.

This is fear mongering and weak science.

Do polling results that give Clinton an 86% chance of winning the election just one day beforehand count as fake news?

Will the NY Times be on the list of publications prohibited from running Google ads?

It's either manipulated data, or it's grossly flawed and incompetent. Pick one. I would think either fulfills the criteria for "fake".

Someone hasn't been reading the news lately.

From the article:

"155mm LRLAP provides single strike lethality against a wide range of targets, with three times the lethality of traditional 5-inch naval ballistic rounds".

The really disturbing part is that these $800k shells buy us a whopping THREE times the lethality of a traditional 5-inch round.

Just. Wow.
