I'll bet you don't own a TV either.

Not to defend The Goog or anything, but if it's so hilarious, can you please recommend a better option that doesn't sell you out? I'd genuinely like to hear.

iPhone? They talk the privacy talk, but they were recently caught collecting location history despite user explicitly disabling Location Services. So they're out.

What other options are there? Blackberry? A shell of its former self. Huawei or any Chinese manufacturer? Bugged all the way back to Beijing. Samsung? Runs the same Google services.

Gimme a name. And no weaseling your way out of it by saying you don't have a smartphone, like this area man says about TV.

Oh my God, this is you, isn't it?

Close. You just don't set up your TV to connect to the internet.

One novel feature of this new social network is that immediately after you make a status update, a random stranger will pounce on your post and undo your change.

So it sounds to me like the Google folks made a reasonable engineering trade off, where you can have smoother video experience at the cost of battery life, or better battery life by avoiding the additional power drain. They picked a threshold - 75% - could have been some other number, but that's what they chose, as the cutoff.

I'm reminded of the saying "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Sounds like reasonable engineering judgment to me.

Never heard of this organization. <shrug/> Meh.

Using cash at bricks and mortar isn't necessarily anonymous. Pretty much all retailers have cameras on all cash registers, so they get your face regardless of payment method. They are deploying Bluetooth and RFID trackers to trace you around the store, so they got your MAC address, possibly cellular IMEI. So how hard is it these days to correlate any of this back to a person, an address? I don't think it's so difficult.

Ha! How very Slashdot of you. Your advice is worth at least double what I paid for it. Makes me wonder why great minds like yours aren't solving our big problems of the day!

To software people, nothing is particularly hard. Just code, we say.

Well, until you start adding limitations. Limited CPU, limited storage, required performance levels for "burst" sequences, and low cost to stay competitive in the marketplace. Noting the proper orientation and shifting the burden to display device - which may have more CPU and RAM - IS a reasonable solution.

Poor neighborhoods, which have more violent crime compared with more affluent neighborhoods, are also more polluted.

Separately, what is the relation between particulates, ozone, and temperature. It's long proven the relationship between higher temperatures and higher violent crime. Perhaps particulates and/or ozone is just a proxy for temperature?

I don't find 0.14% and 0.30% compelling numbers.

This is one of my biggest frustrations when viewing photos taken on an iPhone on a Windows 10 machine. Pics are 90 or 180 degrees off. Annoying as hell.

Apple's built-in Terminal app crashed a LOT for me. Had to find something more reliable.

• DELETE from conviction WHERE
• SELECT prisioner from jail_population
• WHERE conviction = 'marijuana' and amount

• 1. Sea levels rise due to the melt of ice on land, e.g. Greenland, and this doesn't replace ice on land
• 2. Frozen water floats because it has lower density, i.e. takes up more volume, so actually makes problem worse

Well it does answer the question, but not in the direction that you are going.

When you have to station heavily-armed troops every 100 yards, when you shoot out the eyes of children who dare to venture out of their homes, you don't have sovereignty. Holding a population hostage under threat of violence screams "Illegitimacy".
