I don't think there is much of a taboo on discussing climate engineering. It's just that all of the proposals I have heard about are just stupid / won't work / would screw up things more, etc. Then there is the "what could possibly go wrong" factor.
It's fine to discuss climate engineering but they'll have to come up with something much better than anything now out there.
I have never "tweeted" but I do follow a few blogs, individuals, events, etc.
The twitter feed itself doesn't provide much information but the links are usually valuable.
They don't seem to have any problem finding customers at that price.
I personally am not interested. I just don't see myself walking around wearing this thing. Not sure what I would do with it. It seems really nerdy and creepy. However, if I had a specific application in mind... something like recording surgery, automobile repair (or service and repair in many industries) then I could see it.
I do have a Google Chromecast which is really a beta device and has been a disappointment due to very limited functionality. They are slowly adding applications but still very much a walled garden. Hopefully it will be more useful some day. I only spent $35 on it so not much risk there.
Google (and many other companies) do this with their beta products... you know... because they are "beta" and they want to limit the number of users to something they can handle.
For instance, Gmail was limited access at first and you had to be invited to join. I see that you are using a gmail account.
That is true.
However, a complication is that people do move about in the short time before they become incapacitated.
Plus, we really don't understand well how it is transmitted and where the natural reservoirs exist so it's hard to find the source and eradicate it.
The Fire "marketplace" is a pathetic second to just about any other marketplace. I'm sure their phone marketplace will be the same.

Free to use... but limited.
Walmart and Amazon honorable?
AFAIK both of these companies abuse and underpay their employees. No honor in working there. No honor in buying stuff there.
Unless you are on a military "cost+" contract. Then you have a license to print money.
It's hard to find out exactly what he said since all I can find are news stories, many which repeat the headline. It would be nice to have a transcript. I'm sure what he said was more nuanced than what is being reported. The "Can't teach a coalminer to code" looks like it will live forever... at least in the Twitterverse.
Anyone have a link to an actual transcript?
I don't think the elite would approve of investing that much money in the education of coal miners. They are just viewed as "dumb labor" and it would be dangerous to educate them.
Sure, coding is not for everyone but it just shows the arrogance of this capitalist pig Bloomberg when he assumes that coal miners are stupid and can't be retrained.
Coal miners as a group are probably just as smart as the entitled 1% who had education opportunities. So yes, you can train coal miners for other jobs (including coding). It's just elitist to assume otherwise.

Not sure what the High Speed rail bond issue has to do with the definition of "political campaign" since that term is not anywhere in the article you referenced. It does talk about politics and campaigns but those two word are separated by a lot of other words.
Just a few tips on using Google for the naive: If you are looking for a term consisting of more than one word, put the term in quotes and you'll get better results. You can also use the Google "define": To see a definition for a word or phrase, simply type the word “define” then a space, then the word(s) you want defined.
I guess you couldn't comprehend the sentence where I said I looked up the definition(s) of "political campaign" and all of them referred to people.
Your definitions for "politics" are interesting but they are not definitions for "political campaign".
Try a course in "reading comprehension". It's the next step where you put "words" together to convey "ideas".
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
