Agreed. I currently drink tea daily, and with no sweetener. Why? I find sugar masks the subtler flavors, which can be really enjoyable, especially in oolongs and the greens.

Uh, there's more to that story. Here's what the FAO has to say about it.

When emissions from land use and land use change are included, the livestock sector accounts for 9 percent of CO2 deriving from human-related activities, but produces a much larger share of even more harmful greenhouse gases. It generates 65 percent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2. Most of this comes from manure. And it accounts for respectively 37 percent of all human-induced methane (23 times as warming as CO2), which is largely produced by the digestive system of ruminants, and 64 percent of ammonia, which contributes significantly to acid rain.

I believe they announced Assistant back in May at I/O 2016. It seems like a rebrand with additional functionality tacked on.

I've played Ingress since early beta phase, and have seen many people leave, and then many more come. For instance, in beta there were only 8 player levels. People got to 8, realized there was no real endgame beyond that, and left. And then Niantic added levels up to 16, added missions, First Saturdays, events, lots of new game concepts, and so on, and years later it's still really active. In the earlier days Niantic was really underfunded and was slow to market for new features.

hover.com/tucows is another that has come out against SOPA. UI is decent. $10 to transfer a domain. No upselling.

Is this another "study" that doesn't include any clicks to the service from the black Google bar, or from within the service itself, or from mobile devices, or based on counting only public posts? Meh. Next.

Really? Which device and firmware do you have? I'm curious.

Bookmarked.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Android has been doing this for a while, choosing at runtime which resources to serve up based on DPI. The source tree of an Android app has 3 'drawable' directories under res/ (drawable-ldpi, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-hdpi) and it picks the best one for each situation.

Not to mention, the spec for JSON fits on one side of a business card, readably.

Games on G+ can also reward you for spamming/recruiting your friends. Angry Birds on G+ for example will keep levels locked until you and your friends have a cumulative total of stars to unlock them, so naturally you want to get more people playing. Another game lets you ask for hearts to continue gameplay and equally you can donate hearts. The difference here though is people in your circles will not see all this game stuff unless they are also in their games stream.

There are many I've found who use G+ as they use Twitter, IOW all public posts, like a broadcasting station/soapbox. I find what you say to be generally true of most other users though (including myself). I post daily but you wouldn't know it from my profile.
