My experience on the Nexus 10 has been the opposite. KitKat was so bad that I had to go back to jellybean after a couple of days. Lollipop, on the other hand, has been smooth, light, and rock-solid; no issues at all. Best release for this device ever.

Every Nexus back to the Nexus 4/7(2012) has images for 5.1.0 or 5.1.1. That means, every Google released device released in the last 3 years is up to date. You can argue about whether 3 years is enough time to support their devices, but they are supporting their own devices. Devices sold by manufacturers, instead of Google, are not Google's direct responsibility for upgrades. At least be straight forward about your claims. Google's devices are Nexus devices. GPE or whatever it is you're talking about aren't Google devices. They're just not manufacturer themed. The updates for those devices still originate from the manufacturers and not Google.

Indeed. My Nexus 10 dating from 2012 is running better than ever on 5.1.1. If Apple had other companies selling iOS devices, I doubt they'd have done any better at preventing fragmentation.

Now if your company policy says "50% must be of minority" you end up hiring the top 5% of white and top 50% of minority. Of course the new white employees will outperform the minority ones simply because you got crÃme-de-la-crÃme of the whites and merely "above average" of the minorities. And of course the disparity will cause frictions, rift in the team, disparity of handled workload and worse code quality on the average. Oh, and the company policies will protect the minority employees, punishing the whites who confront them for worse performance.

Perhaps this is the price society must pay until the historical consequences of white supremacy are reversed?

Now that would interest me.

My wife does every this every night, yeah!!

I've even seen indications that you could use osmosis as a power source for reverse osmosis, so that you could desalinate seawater from the power of the salinization of the wastewater.

Perpetual motion machine!

Something like 50-75% of global food production gets discarded in landfills thanks to cosmetic defects - lumpy potatoes, bread crusts from sandwich factories, spoilage at the store, etc

That is astounding. Citation, please?

Killing MRSA is easy. Trivial, even. You can do it with steam, alcohol, or dozens of other disinfecting agents.

Any info about the prophylactic dosage there?

dunno about that. many people want to APPEAR good and decent there. TOO FUCKING BAD LYNCH MOBS AND DENYING TRIAL is pretty fucking far from being decent. yet statistics and probabilities say that some people in the lynch mob were rapists too. so yeah, they got a lot of work ahead of them in being viewed as fair and civilized society.

Yeah, why don't the fuckers just follow your shining personal example?

I lost all my Google Health data, my Google Wave data, my Google Buzz data, and my Google reader feeds

So, you're the one!
