They all have nearly perfect teeth. And the shape of the two front teeth is really similar between all people that show their teeth. I don't think these are real people...

My guess is he is hoping Apple will just send him a bit of money to go away so they don't have to deal with the news of this. I expect Apple won't do that, but I bet that is what he is hoping.

I use thunderbird as well, and multiple email accounts. I also use the web clients you mention. What Thunderbird gives me, is a single place for all my email accounts and emails I have received from all of them. If I delete an email from gmail, and Thunderbird downloaded it, it stays in there. It is like a big archive for all my email and a central repository to go to for searching across all email accounts (it is easy to forget which account you dealt with a subject on). My iPhone mail app is unable to look back very far, and each gmail account can only look at itself via the website, so this searching through all my emails comes in pretty handy.

I believe it is the Great Red Spot, and not the Big Red Spot. While it may not matter much for the story, seems like an obvious thing to get wrong...

I have been seeing this a lot lately for some reason. The i7 6700K runs at 4.0 ghz base clock and turbo's up to 4.2. So it will be quite a performance beatdown by Skylake if clockspeed instead of threads is important.

I am interested in how this private company gets away with leaking this footage to the press to shame this woman. While what she did was not great, there should be some expectation of privacy in ordinary life. Obviously if this woman knew the footage was going to be public she may have behaved differently, but the company taking a private rude conversation public for all to see, should be liable damages to her reputation. It is not illegal to be a bitch, but she is suffering very real consequences.

True, bot correlation does not not equal causation either. It is very likely CO2 concentrations are causing global warming. We don't have another planet to test on, but we know CO2 is a green house gas through experimentation. It is not now required to do so on a planetary scale, we've already proved they trap gasses. The authors interpretation of science might require you to test this on a planetary scale, but that is ridiculous.

I guess all we know about the sun is not scientific because we didn't do experiments on the sun and another star that is approximately equal....

If stiff sentences were an effective deterrent then the US would be the safest country in the world. This is what I call governing by one's gut. It seems like it should make sense it would work that way, but the science doesn't support it. It is just a big cost to everyone. 22 years is likely 1/3 of his life.

I find it a bit appalling that this guy got 22 years for robbery. Had he killed the guy, he would have got only a little bit more time. This sentence is disproportionate and does not serve the public at all. Now the tax payers are forced to support this guy for the next 22 years at a ridiculous cost. When he gets out, they will likely have to support him some more given the lack of training in prison, and opportunities afterward. If this guy had kids, this sentence could potentially alter the children's lives toward a life of crime too (though that is speculation, but statistically supported). Why not put the guy in prison for a year, with intense training, followed by 5 year years of probation. After leaving prison, his record will be sealed, and if he is well behaved on his probation for 5 years, cleared. Something a bit innovative. No one is being served by this guy going to jail for 22 years for a simple armed robbery.

Move is possible with international corporations. People cannot just move to another country. It takes years to immigrate to another country, possibly your prime earning years. If my job is outsourced to India for 20% of my pay, I cannot simply move to India to take up that job. And I can't really take an 80% paycut and continue my job here. It just doesn't work. The free market needs to start thinking more protectionist, or there will be a revolution if what is predicted by Bill and Alan comes to pass.

Not everyone can evolve like you say. Some jobs will be gone and people will be left behind. What we do about those people is what needs to change. Right now they are left to fend for themselves because we accuse them of not seeing the writing on the wall so it is their own fault. But the people at the top are very smart, and they are actively working against the people at the bottom to increase their profits. If the people at Ford could replace their skilled manufacturers with robots that cost $250 grand a piece, they would hop to it in an instant. That could be a virtual overnight change in manufacturing in the entire country if robots could be made dexterous enough to replace humans. We are probably only a few years away from doing that. Those people cannot all be left to fend for themselves, and upgrade their skills to do something else. It is beyond scale that is possible.
