If only there was a way to set display hours and set the device to turn off, say, during the times the room is not used? You could maybe rig a motion sensor to over-ride screen shutdown if there were people in the room outside the frame's normal operating times... but naw, it's impossible...

Please, tell me more about these full-color, 4K resolution e-Ink displays that consume NO power until the image changes... and please, provide pricing info also...

Well, let's see, your counter-product relies on special, loss-leader pricing which occurs once a year, and you gloss over the need to collect the artwork, prepare it for display device (oh, I'm sorry, are all your images proper even fractions ok your devices 4K resolution?), and some sort of computing device to store and serve-up the images, with the requisite hacking/programming to make all work seamlessly... I'm eager to learn about your woodworking/frame making skills to house this collection of pieces, not to mention how you're going to integrate streaming and cable TV reception into the unit.

Perhaps penny-pinching über-geeks from Slashdot aren't their target market for this museum-quality art displaying product?

But, but, it worked so well for Bud Light and Jaguar!

He simply cut funding, they were free to solicit donations from viewers.

The media marketplace has changed/evolved since the CPB was created, how has it changed/evolved?

I don't want govt owned/funded broadcasters, why do you think it is important for there to be state-funded broadcasters?

My point, we are giving poor people free access to the internet, why are we subsidizing broadcast pbs? Is there a gov't program to give TVs and free antennas to poor people without broadband access?

FOX is self-funded, it goes away the moment people stop watching it.

Well, it's a pretty sad state of affairs if children have to watch PBS after taxpayer-funded K-12 education just to learn to "literally fucking read"

It's a taxpayer-funded shell game.

Gov't funds CPB, which in turn funds public tv stations, who in turn pay PBS for the shows the broadcast between fundraising drives.

Sesame Street is a profitable operation, they sell merch, have a theme park, and collect huge fees from pbs stations to broadcast their shows.

We could cut out a lot of the expense if PBS just went to a streaming model, stop with the transmitters and over the air broadcasts.

I'd be curious to know, what percentage of pbs viewers watch it on over the air broadcasts vs cable tv?

Every American has or can have access to the internet thru various free/subsidized broadband access as well as free/subsidized smartphones, and even internet access subsidized in schools and libraries.

I don't think there is a problem for anyone to get access to PBS/NPR content - is there some benefit to watching PBS/hearing NPR off the public airwaves, or is streaming either acceptable.

The CPB money went to buy programming and run transmitters/studios, that's about it.

I setup a spare computer to pull my emails down via POP3 as a sort of backup, it's a trick I first heard of during Weinergate, when Ms. Weiner had a laptop backup all her emails in the background.

The article is about New York City, not the U.S. or the world, and it has literally nothing to do with Imperial vs Metric units of measurement.

Go ahead and mock the Mars rover(?) that slammed into the surface of mars, but be sure and include all the ESA probes and rovers they've sent around our solar system successfully...

Uh, to be clear, the current administration is stopping the practice.

How about foreign nationals living in ANY adversarial country (including China) not be allowed to work on anything related to national defense? If they can't even bother to move to the U.S. let's keep them away from our defense systems? OK?

The Waymo parked for 20 minutes, left the spot, and then an hour later another Waymo parked in the same spot... so what?

A car parked for 20 minutes in a one hour parking space... then it left, leaving the spot open for a period of time approaching an hour and another Waymo parked there... again, so what?

Why does a Waymo have lesser parking rights than any other car? The Waymo obeyed the 1 hour limit, and anyone could use the spot before the next Waymo arrived (Waymo's didn't coordinate to monopolize the parking spot).

Honestly, the Waymo is more likely to respect the time limit on the free parking than a human driver.

And who did RFK, Jr replace? Xavier Becerra, a lawyer and politician whose only qualification seemed to be that he was the first Latino to hold the position.

At least RFK jr read some medical journals before heading HHS

The CDC says Texas had over 800 cases, as for the travelers bringing the virus home from overseas, I don't have an answer

Canada had 3x the measles case count in a country with 1/9th the population compared with the U.S.

That's a comparison that merits attention, not dismissal - it means a person in Canada is 27x more likely to get measles than someone in the U.S., and this is despite Canada's single-payer, better than the U.S., healthcare system...

I'd be curious to know the trend in Canada over, say, the past 5-10 years and compare it to the trend in the U.S. over the same time period, if both spiked at about the same time, then it's doubtful that anything occurring politically in the U.S. this past year was to blame.
