The Nexus 6 is just one of many Android devices, with a specific feature set. If you want an SD card then choose a different device.
On the other other hand, changes to the Android OS can limit every device by every manufacturer. I'm really glad Google is reverting the badly considered restrictions from Android 4.4.
This leaves many colleges favoring achievement robots who excel at the memorization of rote knowledge...
This is also how most colleges go about evaluating their students! SAT scores and high school grades are actually the perfect metrics to use, because they match up with the way that colleges are run. If there is any hope of changing this, we should start by actually valuing creativity, curiosity, and open discussion of ideas in college.
Typical colleges will throw a mountain of work and an onerous set of rules at their students, and then see who can survive. This works because anyone who can handle it will also be able to handle an employer's demands.
To get that "banned book" feeling with To Kill a Mockingbird, try reading an illegally downloaded copy. Don't do it because you're cheap, do it because applying copyright to a book written over 50 years ago is just as egregious as banning it for content.
This post sums it up pretty well.
Physical locks still need to be broken manually, one door at a time.
When it comes to https, all locks can potentially be opened at once, remotely, with the click of a button, and with no sign of intrusion. It's hardly the same.

I hope you are right! I haven't seen that stated anywhere else.
If you are right, then you should really complain about the original submission, which states that Amazon "now has exclusive rights" to the domain and that there is "no word yet on Amazon's plans for the new domain suffix." That certainly reads like they're getting it all to themselves.
Wikipedia states:
ICANN's primary principles of operation have been described as helping preserve the operational stability of the Internet; to promote competition; to achieve broad representation of the global Internet community; and to develop policies appropriate to its mission through bottom-up, consensus-based processes.
This auction is a blatant contradiction of these principles. An auction does promote a narrow sort of competition, technically, but anyone who didn't have millions of dollars to spare had no opportunity to participate. Now that Amazon has won, the competition is over, and the global Internet community can go broadly fuck themselves.
We should expect much better from the non-profit organization in charge of the world's domain names.
It's telling that the article doesn't mention one practical application. Intel's next step for 2016: Attempt to create demand for 3D scanners in consumer tablets.

Apple was in the right place at the right time to introduce iPod and other devices. But today, the market for pocket-sized electronic rectangles is pretty well saturated, and Apple's competitors have caught up in terms of design quality.
They aren't going downhill, but they are desperately searching for a new hill where they can be king again for a while.
I did have first-person shooters in mind, since that's the type of game I always seem to encounter others playing. I've only had a couple of opportunities to play co-op multiplayer games, and those were far more enjoyable.
I've always enjoyed single player games as a sort of kinetic puzzle. Even if the action involves racing away from the cops or jumping across platforms, a single player game rewards the ability to learn patterns and find weaknesses in the enemies and rules of a closed system. It's both relaxing and rewarding to master the mechanics of the game.
Multiplayer, on the other hand, is a spastic experience which seems to be dominated by obsessive players with endless time to practice. The reward for the average player is not mastery, but rather learning to die a little less often.
I've been watching storage price trends for the past five years.
Cost per 10TB of storage:
SSD progress has been amazing. The price for SSD storage is now 10x that of platters, compared to 37.5x in 2009. The cost for a platter drive today per TB is 50% of what it was five years ago, but for an SSD it is only 13%! Does it look like SSDs are about to take over? Not so fast. The rate of advancement has been slowing every year, and meanwhile platter drives are adopting major new technology this year.
Using a simple historical price model, I don't expect we would see price equivalence by 2020. However, by the end of that year SSD's may only cost 2x that of platter drives, and platter manufacturers will be very nervous.
Cost predictions per 10TB of storage:
I was reading about the project to put these lectures online. It's amazing how well these lectures have held up over time.
This excerpt from History of Errata is quite enjoyable:
It is remarkable that among the 1165 errata corrected under my auspices, only several do I regard as true errors in physics. An example is Volume II, page 5-9, which now says “no static distribution of charges inside a closed grounded conductor can produce any [electric] fields outside” (the word grounded was omitted in previous editions). This error was pointed out to Feynman by a number of readers, including Beulah Elizabeth Cox, a student at The College of William and Mary, who had relied on Feynman's erroneous passage in an exam. To Ms. Cox, Feynman wrote in 1975,3 “Your instructor was right not to give you any points, for your answer was wrong, as he demonstrated using Gauss's law. You should, in science, believe logic and arguments, carefully drawn, and not authorities. You also read the book correctly and understood it. I made a mistake, so the book is wrong. I probably was thinking of a grounded conducting sphere, or else of the fact that moving the charges around in different places inside does not affect things on the outside. I am not sure how I did it, but I goofed. And you goofed, too, for believing me.”
