Likewise. It would be interesting to actually analyze the "ads" that Facebook has actually removed. My bet is they fall into three categories; thug life types passing around $50 zinc belly guns, the fabulously stupid, and all of the above. Competent gun owners don't resell guns on fucking Facebook.

Anyhow, precious few of us will be the least bit upset about Facebook's little manufactured controversy. Corporate anti-gun grandstanding is about as novel as Guardian stories on Israeli "crimes."

The two are basically the same, or so the physiologists tell us.

Foxconn is Apple morality. They've made exploiting Asia so profitable they can afford to green-wash their domestic operations.

If it's good enough for commercial aircraft it's good enough for your car.

They'll have to fund some R&D instead of padding TEPCO retirement portfolios. Not the worst thing that could happen.

That's why they put words next to the pictures.

The "small spoonful of frozen orange juice" is too ambiguous to use directly, so I'll just fill a teaspoon with solid lead. Given 5.014×10^34 atoms of water in 200x 2.5E6 L Olympic pools (Wikipedia) and 1.62E23 atoms of lead in a teaspoon, you have 3 atoms of lead per trillion molecules of water.

Sure to panic homeopaths everywhere. The EPA actionable drinking water limit for lead is 15 parts per billion; three orders of magnitude higher.

Weapons from Holders anti-gun gambit have turned up as recently as 10 weeks ago in major shoots-outs with Mexican authorities. The gift that keeps on giving has the ATF issuing another statement accepting responsibility for their "mistakes" and "errors" funneling rifles into Mexico to create a gigantic stink over US firearms.

The Model S has electrically pumped hydraulic brakes. Regenerative brakes can't apply enough force in all cases.

There are other fluids as well. The sealed gear box has gear oil (both 1.0 and 1.5 versions.) The batteries, motor/PEM/inverter and cabin are all cooled/heated using antifreeze with the requisite pumps, lines and heat exchangers in three fluid loops. The AC system also has fluid to exchange heat.

Your point is valid and very appealing; electric vehicles have fewer failure modes and maintenance issues. But these are still a complex machines.

Because wellhead fires, explosions and dead workers are entirely unique to fracking. Nothing like that has ever happened in the oil/gas recovery business ever.

In my case Netflix performance problems (via Comcast) were certainly happening before the ruling. 18 months ago Netflix was responsive; video started quickly and never stalled during play. During the last year there is usually at least one interruption during any given hour when the steam runs dry. It hasn't gotten noticeably worse since the ruling. Claims that the ruling created these problems seem like hysteria to me.

As for the "Super HD" and 3D video theory; that seems plausible. It seems like it's Netflix servers that struggle, as opposed to network congestion; streams stall and then suddenly recover and work fine as if their system is overloaded and shifts clients to usable capacity.

If high definition video is a contributor then this is self inflicted and deeply stupid. Cord cutters aren't trying to improve their media fidelity. Why compromise the performance of your service by overloading your system with HD content when your customer has already proven to be largely indifferent to HD? In all likelyhood the typical Netflix subscriber is the same person that still hasn't bothered to get a Blu-ray player.

That's certainly true in my case. A name-brand blu-ray is what? $50-100? It's not like I can't afford it. I could have a tower of the things if I wanted. I just don't care.
