I love the political and philosophical debate. But aren't he and his family just sitting on all of the dot-si domains? This another way people can funnel bribe money to them. Just wildly overpay for domains he's already out in front of and get favored treatment.

Please, there's no way this was by mistake. It's a hack from the inside. Just like all of the others.

they didn't get all of them obviously lol.

People need to realize that the effects of global warming are at this point unstoppable. No conservation effort and certainly no carbon dioxide removal program could possibly show an effect for decades. At which point the damage will already be done. Money would be much better spent preparing for sea level rise etc than trying to prevent it.
Not to be a downer but the number of people killed by famine, drought, sea level rise, etc will probably be more effective at curbing CO2 output than any policy measures.

doesn't sound crazy, sounds like the money goes out as fast as it comes in. Otherwise any sane person would keep the $180 / year.

Doesn't this really just show how poorly the drivers are doing? Why would anyone pay a fee to get their money now instead of at the end of the week or month? Because they have absolutely no money! Also reinforces the poverty by taking the money from people who have no choice but to pay up.

Its more likely to ask why wouldn't you want a smart tv. Otherwise its one more device, two more wires, one more power brick wasting energy, one HDMI port used and extra complexity for non nerdy gadget types.

The answer is because Smart TV UI's always suck (performance too) and that the tv manufacturers can be counted on to do stupid things no one ever asked for. Like including microphones and cameras (could easily be add-ons for the rare people who actually want it), and injecting ads into tv streams.

Thes extra gadgets only exist in the wake of the TV manufacturers ineptitude.

I guess I was thinking someone could get the thing booted off a linux disk and figure out how to address the various radios. Then build support from the ground up.

the problem with just spoofing the server is that your iphone apps would also have to be spoofed and that might prove to be more difficult. Right? I never owned one but I thought you needed an app to control it.

Someone please correct me (I wasn't worried about that not happening). But doesn't the DMCA allow for a home brew software updates in the case of no longer supported hardware? The Resolv box seems very nice and functional. I am looking forward to a legal home-brew solution to make this a great platform now that google has gotten out of the way...

I don't think an AI would qualify as intelligent unless it can realize that human beings are the entire problem and the world would be better off without them. So its obvious that any AI, advanced enough, will try to kill us all.

The article was about removing Natural Selection from the texts. Anyone who doesn't realize the animals (and corporations and products) are a result of adopting to their environments, is not going to fare well in any form.

Any jobs you know of require an ability to think independently and analyze available evidence? How about an accurate view of themselves and how they relate to the world and living things? My thinking was that I wouldn't want someone that poorly prepared representing my company in any way.

There aren't enough jobs for kids anyway. If one or three states choose (on their own accord) not to prepare their children to compete in the job market the rest of us should be happy. If you live in one of those states, vote the idiots out or move. Case closed.

Braun was out because you aren't allowed to pass a baserunner. So the minute they were in the same place he was out. But Segura thought he was out and started walking off the field. No one tagged him at that point though and he was near ehough to first base that by the time someone figured it out he got there before anyone tagged him.
But then he tried to steal second again and got caught, double idiot

As a programmer I am inundated with people telling me their iPhone/ipad app ideas. Most of them are pretty good, and with enough work could be decent and useful apps. I tell them all the same thing. The most time consuming part of development is figuring out the UI, interactions and workflow. These are things they could do on their own with pencil and paper.

If someone came to me with an app idea and had all of the screens and interactions thought through and designed I would jump at it. Because I could make that into an app quickly and easily. So I wouldn't bother learning coding, learn to do mock ups and design workflows. It is necessary for creating good apps anyway and you already know all you need to for a start.
