The second time is the best time, simply because you know why that scene is that way. Wait, I'm thinking of the "STAY" scene earlier. That other scene too is just heartwrenching.
You know I kind of hated Professor Brand after that. Understood why he lied, and he knows he did a terrible thing, but still. Had Coop known it was all for nothing he definitely wouldn't have gone.

I read it more as Winston's internal diatribe as told in the third person, so each detail had a meaning to him, just like my memories have random, small details. Haven't read A Brave New World, so I can't compare. If I ever have enough time to read again, I'll check it out.
Hmm good point, I see what you mean. I don't read books very often but A Brave New World is definitely worth the time and it's quite a short book.

how is double the speed = four times the data? are they talking about compression?
Double the data rate of the Thunderbolt 2 technology, quadruple the data rate of USB3.1 cables is what they mean. It's marketing speak though since the speed and data rate are two different things. In differential signaling the data rate is twice what the fundamental frequency is. For example, if you have a 5GHz differential signal, the data rate is 10Gb/s. They're mixing speed with data rate. This is why Engineering hates Marketing, BTW.

I could probably have chosen a better word than "Subtle." But if you compare the usage of typography to another comic book movie like, let's say, Ang Lee's HULK, it is so much better executed in this film. The way each letter is animated and seems to occupy three-dimensional space, and how the font and letter positioning changes depending on the sound being indicated - all stuff that rewards repeat viewings. Thanks for watching!
There is definitely a style to the movie that holds the whole thing together in a fun and cool way, whereas other movies that try the dual panels or the visual sound effects tend to make it seem out of place or unnecessary, like it doesn't actually add anything. Wright was able to add a lot to the film with it and I definitely give him props for that. Also for not letting up on it, but keeping the style at 11 the entire time rather than letting it drop off after the first few laughs like a less confident director. Still enjoyed your video! Keep it up, mang.

On the topic of games, Dead Island's trailer was the best video game trailer I'd ever seen.
I still get chills every time I watch the launch trailer for *Super Smash Bros. Brawl*.

No, no. That's Paul's grandfather. Not the one that lives in his house, the other one.
I'm talking about in the Hard Days Night movie. John Lennons real father left him when he was a child.

Don't buy tickets from scalpers. Why isn't the top reply the simple answer? Because no one want to hear it. If it weren't possible to sell them at such a profit, they wouldn't bother. The problem would be self-correcting.
Scalpers these days take advantage of stupid people with money to throw around. Stupid people fuck up everything, man...

My roommate used to listen to these guys. I hated them. Worst band ever.
They are pretty shitty. It's a shame you can't even have an opposing opinion without being down voted.

From Explosions in the Sky, I'd pick out "Your Hand In Mine"
Meh, popular b/c of that football movie. I'm a big fan of Explosion's All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone (Bonus tracks) album.

Charles Soule took over Thunderbolts for a couple arcs. Much better Deadpool in it. I haven't kept up with the Tbolts since Soule left though. I've been meaning to look for any new trades.
Thunderbolts ended really well. Deadpool was a nice blend of Way and Duggan.

Some people also didnt like Sort Round, but I liked the character. I will defend Temple of Doom till the day I die, its fantastic.
Other than the rampant racist interpretations of Asian people. And the horrible lead actress

Busses and shuttles exist now and it just varies in the area on the demographic and people that ride them. Personally, I don't see the difference in a self driving bus or shuttle, since I wouldn't be driving either.
That was kind of my point that there's no real difference. Public transportation will never be phased out as there's still hot spots for lots of traffic.
3,612
I wonder if there's a market for smartphones with 1TB of storage...
Yeah, but even 1TB is denser with flash storage than with mechanical platters. Only advantage HDDs have over flash storage is that they're currently less expensive per GB at capacities of ~512GB and up. Won't be the case for much longer, though.

You get an upvote due to reddiquitte. Having said that, your argument loses any merit it may have had for using the pejorative *cunt*. I'd rewrite it without bias so it will be more receptive to people. As female-on-male violence is quite real. It seems everytime it's brought up it comes from an anti-female point of view, like yours, and that only serves to muddy the waters.
Agreed. I believe in men's rights, but as soon as someone calls themselves a men's rights activist you just think "What kind of hatespew bullshit is about to come out of his mouth?"
3,614
The ending felt flat to me. It could of been done better. I really did enjoy the book overall. The Gone Girl comparisons don't make sense to me besides the unreliable female narrator part. The perspective of the narrators are completely different.
Yeah, the ending felt like good closure, but was kind of anti-climatic.

i haven't read the comics, so take this with a grain of salt, but i've heard batman is pissed at superman because he keeps destroying the city.
Superman also wrecked a Wayne Industries satellite in Man of Steel.

The iCloud has tons of vulnerabilities. Just look at the Fappening. Both platforms can be hacked into, but one is easier than the other due to universal hardware and software.
I cloud doesn’t give you the ability to record in real time. Unless someone is saving secret docs in iCloud, it’s not an issue.

> The Old Man and The Sea by Steinbeck. Didn't Hemingway write this one? It's been nearly 30 years since HS, but I think that's who wrote it.
Damn, I knew there was bound to be an error somewhere. Thanks for letting me know.

Left-wing censorship is preventing known neo nazis from using a platform to harass, dox, and threaten people. Right-wing censorship is destroying education and books so people can’t think for themselves.
It was removed over someone getting angry at the use of "nigger". First, that's more likely to be left wing censorship. Second, can't we all agree that censorship of any kind is bad and destroying society?

Stone Sour, I was at the "Nightmare After Christmas" tour when they came to the Palace in Detroit. They played before Avenge Sevenfold and I'm not sure if i just wanted to listen to A7X but I didn't seem to enjoy their performance.
I can argue that Corey Taylor usually puts on a good show. Stone Sour performed really well when I saw them.

She is tied to this producer and can't make music without him. Since she is accusing him he will not produce anything with her. Therefore she cannot release anything new. Without anything new she can't tour. Without touring she can't sell tickets/merch. If she isn't touring/releasing albums what company would sponsor her? That's the basic gist I got from the article.
Ah, OK. So it seems like it may be contractual that she is not actually permitted to work with any other producers until this is resolved. That would make sense. I was also thinking that people could be hesitant to work with her due to the allegations.
3,621
I loved Hunger Games and Divergent/Insurgent. You should definitely check out *Blood Red Road* by Moira Young, *Dark Inside* by Jeyn Roberts, *Little Brother* by Cory Doctorow, and *Feed* by M. T. Anderson. I read a LOT of young adult/teen fiction, and these are awesome.
For the longest time in Elementary School/Jr. High *Little Brother* was my favorite book of all times. I still think extremely highly of it. Although, it's difficult to recommend to those *not* that open to teen fiction.
3,622
Yea this is pretty good. Where do I recognize this guys voice from? Also, nice graphics.
Thank you! Not sure where you would recognize his voice, this is his first release. I'll pass your compliment onto the drummer, she did all of the artwork.

Flywheels are more used to help balance load and accommodate for a sharp power increase. For instance in illinois there is a decommissioned nuclear power plant, near Zion. While the plant is not online, the turbans are still kept spinning and connected to the grid since they can store a lot of energy that can be put back into the grid if it gets bogged down. But due to friction over a long period of time, flywheels are not substitutes for batteries
But for solar panels, that battery only needs to last for twelve hours or so. Does friction still act on those sorts of timescales?

well, he's got Lawrence Kasdan (screenwriter of Empire Strikes Back) sitting at his right hand, and Han Solo sitting at his left, engaged with him. he's clearly sending a signal that he's got his artistic/craft/fan priorities straight in terms of about made the original Star Wars movies great.
And I don't see George Lucas anywhere. It's a good sign.
3,625
Spoilers galore (if you care about that sort of thing)
What, that they talk a lot and have doubts about their relationship? OH NO! Just like the other two! It's ruined!

It may have been one of those 502 errors. They've been happening a lot, lately.
I get them a lot every so often, but I've learned to check if it's really gone through or not before clicking "save" a second time. It's easy to see how someone who HASN'T realised this might click a hundred times, which is why you sometimes see as much as 8 "double"-posts at a time in some cases.
3,627
How are you liking it? I've read Hosseini's previous two books but I haven't dived into that one yet.
Yeah I've read his others as well. I'm about halfway through this one. It's fantastic! I'm hesitant to say that I like the other two better since I haven't finished this one yet, but The Kite Runner is gonna be hard to beat for me. That's one of my all time favorites. But that's not to say that this is bad at all, I just really love The Kite Runner.

The walgreens scanners are passive/very close range. They had to shrink the range way down, along with fixing other issues(for instance: scan a hospital ID card and it would process it and approve it, even though its not payment, or the fact that it would display your full plaintext card info and capture information to the cashier). Its all fixed now, go try it. I did it last week(employee discounts are fantastic).
Cool, thanks for the info! They do still take GW right? Cause 7-eleven used to, and now I know why they dropped it--for supporting crapplepay.

For 15 minutes I sat on my couch completely alone, staring at nothing in-particular. I wanted to yell, wanted to throw the book, wanted to even cry, but only managed a breathless *fuck*. Then gathered my things, and went to the gym, until I was ready for inevitable torture that would inevitably come with the next page turn.
I had to re-read that part, and then re-read it. My brain wanted to be convinced that I'd had a stroke and was misreading the words on the page.

Just replaced my burnt out 560Ti with a 970 last month...
Same here, don't feel too bad! I replaced my 760 with a 970 after it died 6 weeks ago. But our 970s will still last us a very long time.

I know what it's short for but what's it got to do with weed?
Back in the day when they first came out, they had tons of "HUSTLE TREES" Lrg shirts, and a lot of other marijuana references. They are super main stream now but back than they used to be street wear and put a lot of stuff on their designs. Nowadays it's sold in shopping malls and such so they don't really go all out on weed references no more. But trust me LRG got popular due to being related to weed. Source: im from Nor Cal, specifically Bay Area. They were popular here, I believe the brand started in LA. They were killing it in sales trumping surf brands and everything else.. for a while.
3,632
You clearly didn't follow the discussion very well... it's about differences in the book and show and also about how the directors didn't identify the scene as rape when it very obviously was.
I followed the discussion fine. My point is that there have been plenty of differences between the book and the show, including other acts of murder and violence. But naturally we're only talking about the rape because *gasp* RAPE CULTURE!
3,633
Nope, I'm American myself. I just started listening to her because this song was in the credits of the Season 2 finale of BoJack Horseman. Her newest release is really good if you haven't checked it out. [Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit] Granted, it's been out for a few months, but I really enjoy it.
Just saw her in Philadelphia this last week. People went crazy for the "do it wrong I was never good at smoking bongs" line.

Yea I'm kind of getting sick of this crap being posted every other week. The meaning of the word "banned" got lost a long time ago.
Snowden, NSA, George Carlin, rah rah rah all the usual shit. Can we go back to talking about books we like?
3,637
It's the same deal in South Africa, with our AIDS epidemic. Our elementary schools have educational plays about condoms. But I still think that orgasm noises are a little over-the-top for a station to which kids might listen.
Are there actual orgasm noises? I've been hearing yes *and* no. If yes, that would be my only problem with it.

How are you enjoying The Dark Tower series so far? I'm only on halfway through the third so be careful with spoilers. :) Second question, do you have a higher res version of this?
And, sure. [I'd be remiss if I didn't plug my shop] but [here's a big version] Use it as you will!

Made all the better by his time as a Scrounger in the Korean War
["He was in a unit that was thrown into the front lines when the Chinese Communists crossed the 38th Parallel in 1951, and his unit was the first thing they ran into, and they were decimated..."] Also cared for a Korean orphan boy during the war.

I would classify Adele more as "neo-soul" than I would pop, but I can see the pop genre as well. This album is good but I was so attached to her first, 19, that I still love that one more. 19 is far less "poppy", and I feel like if I hadn't first heard that album and started with 21, I wouldn't like her nearly as much.
Also I saw her in Houston in 2009, it was in a small venue and I was in the front and I can say that she is for sure the best live singer I've seen. Edit: as in most genuinely talented. That voice is like buttah.
3,641
I didn't like this movie much. But Eric Bana pretty much saved it for me. Every scene he was in, loved his character.
Eric Bana is always awesome and so handsome, not sure why he isn't a bigger star.
3,642
Or, and hear me out on this one, we could not do that, and instead read books that we enjoy, instead of books people tell us we should enjoy.
Nooooo reading should be an act of contrition! Reading books with subject matter we're not interested in gives us worth and social merit! Notches in a bookshelf so to speak... It's a weird culty obsession in this sub. Whether you read enough books... Just read when you want to. Why is that so hard? Why feel guilty about not reading when you didn't want to? That sounds like so much unnecessary stress.

The fat kid from Superbad. Then I saw "Cyrus". And I still hate him.

Dude canceled the week of the AT&T Cowboys Stadium concert. They were already building the stage and had removed the grass surface from the Gold Cup. That's a massive venue, and the 3rd biggest source of revenue for Legends Hospitality this season. Can you say millions lost? It's not like he canceled a backroom bar gig, people are gonna lose their jobs over this that aren't apart of Justin's crew.
I understand when someone is depressed or not feeling mentally calm they don't want to work, but when you've got people's jobs and millions of income on the line, you gotta think about what your actions of not going into work mean. The hitting that guy with the car incident isn't an excuse honestly when he knows and everyone knows that guy was at fault. I'm not a Bieber hater but he's gotta take some responsibility, he shouldn't cancel such a big venue like this. Unless someone can give me evidence he's not just feeling under the weather I'm gonna stand by my point.
3,645
Antarctic or Wakanda? Antarctic vibranium will liquify every metal it comes in contact with(including adamantium). Wakanda vibranium is just pretty god damn tough but not tougher than adamantium(all forms from proto to secondary) also has other effects like causing mutations and amplifying psychic powers and shit. Capts shield is made out of Vibranium. Of the wakanda variety.
Judging by the presence of Klaw and the announced Black Panther movie, I'd say there's a high chance it's Wakanda.
3,646
It was negative. Positive would have been something like: "Arcade Fire? I have never heard of them, but I'll give them a listen" or a congratulations. Her Tweet was more of a "who the fuck are they?".
When i read her twitter it seemed more like just a surprised that some band she never even heard of had won. Not so much that she was pissed off that some band she never heard of had won. I think that it was lumped in on that who the fuck is arcade fire tumblr is what gave it such a negative context when really it was just her randomly tweeting her reaction.

What's telling me to stay away from this device: 1. I cannot find if the software is open source. 2. In the comment section, the answer to a question about how the device can be updated they say, updates won't be possible (for security reasons) \- however if there's ever a bug found and you have no way how to update/fix you just throw it away to a rubbish bin
Wow. I suppose that would simplify security issues and probably lower hardware costs by having read-only firmware. That still seems crazy to have no updates on a hardware based wallet. Oh well, I guess it'll be a lesson for future product creators.
3,648
Chrome for Android bitches about security all the time. Nothing to worry about...
Fair enough, just thought to do my civic duty to mention it.

If I was a kid in 1977 I would have been seriously freaking out over this trailer. It makes me want to see the movie badly!
Accurate. I was a kid in 1974 and I was seriously freaking out to see this movie.

Well there is another question to be asked. How does this guy have a following when his music is so shit? Edit: Im partly joking for the butthurt fans
Not liking a certain genre or artist doesn't make their music shit. Chris Brown was widely recognized as a greatly talented artist before we all discovered he was subhuman garbage. Hell, he probably still is. I just refuse to do anything that might financially support him and that includes listening to his music.
3,651
Trade shows are notoriously stuck in the 80's and still don't *get* the Internet.
That may well be true, but it's not the reason why business cards persist. Apps are finicky. You don't know if the other person has the same app as you do. You don't even know what platform they're using. Probably iOS or Android, but which flavor of Android? And maybe they're on Windows or BlackBerry. Business cards are a lowest-common-denominator data format. They're like ASCII.
3,652
Yup, we can hit our 5GB limit in mere seconds instead of minutes.
Well that's part of the point, either current providers will have to completely restructure their plans, or a new company will take advantage of the new speeds or something. The point of the article is that this isn't like 3G -> 4G "oh I can download apps a little faster", it's a really significant change, or at least it has the potential to be. I mean "change everything" is a little much, but it's just as stupid to read the headline and say "cell companies suck this will be useless".
3,653
what's clear is that they can shoot him or not shoot him, ie it simply doesn't matter because they have utterly defeated him (ie he is and will never be a threat again). The point I am trying to make is that anyone who feels they won't shoot him because there is no longer a justification to do so misses the point that is explicitly stated in the book, power is gained and used purely for it's own sake, and what could be more expressive of that than killing a man for no reason (like a child crushing an ant).
This was how it struck me. That it wasn't enough that they kill Winston, they had to change his mind first. An ultimate cruelty.
3,654
Really? We're ignoring how the Russian roulette of deregulation, weak and unregulated underwriting, predatory lending, and the clueless financial "innovation" shot everything to pin it all on the low interest rates?
We're not talking about actual, free-market deregulation though. All the way through, this was a failure of crony capitalism and selective deregulation, not of free market economics and "markets gone wild." Not to mention, the solution to this was to let the market correct and allow some of the companies involved to fail. But again, when it came time to let the market have its way, well, we all know how that went too--crony capitalism at work once again.
3,655
I agree with your point, but only when the girl in the center thinks of herself as a plain jane, ends up attracting two handsome guys, an whining about it. I think it would be interesting to read a novel where the girl is actually actively fliring with the two guys with the intent to use them.
You're right. That would be better. You write it. :p Romance isn't my forte. ;)
3,656
Because he plays prearranged sets on one of the numerous DAWs out there. Also, in the music industry he'd be known as a producer
PL is a DJ and producer. Those two terms are not mutually exclusive. He does not normally play pre-arranged sets, if at all. Sometimes he's scratching vinyl or playing with a live band. He actually performs his sets.
3,657
I think the fact that there are only a handful of real novels from that era is the main factor. With the exception of Dickens I personally consider most early Victorian era novels to be sub par with Pride and Prejudice peaking at mediocre. With Victorian literature we really see the rise of the novel as a form of popular entertainment but the selection is still very limited. My opinion is that with so many more novelists appearing later into the 1900's that if Jane Austin were to attempt writing even 50 years later her works would probably never have gained the popularity they did at the time.
Good point. Even if her work seems shallow and formulaic in modern context, she was an early enough contributor to actually be part of defining that formula.
3,658
But the lower classes in Brave New World are engineered to be happy in their station. The epsilons are happy because they don't have to work as hard as Betas, etc. You can be brainwashed enough to be happy in any situation. And Bernard is miserable as an Alpha.
Bernard is miserable because he doesn't feels that he belongs among the alphas. He wants others to recognise him as an individual rather than the guy who had alcohol injected into his foetus. Everyone is happy because they lack individual identity in BNW they only have collective identity and are content with their station and they're condition to accept it. But such a life is dreary and as John puts it we humans sometimes demand the "right to be unhappy".

>Use a vibration style generator, not depression style. Which style? Can you please point to an actuall working example of what you are taking about? How much power does it produce? How long does it last? Will it produce enough energy to pay for itself? Who makes these? >The robbed energy is primarily energy being absorbed by the ground as a byproduct of driving. The effect on gasoline consumption would be negligible. #WRONG. What evidence to you have that any energy is being absorbed by the ground? What kind of energy is it? How much is being absorbed? You seem to be making a *LOT* of assumptions with *ZERO* evidence to support your claim.
I'm sorry you don't know that driving on a road causes vibrations into the ground. They don't do very many studies on this because it's pretty obvious to anyone that has any contact with ground near a road. I suggest a 2 second good search or going and standing by a road. Either way.

You said: > that is the point of this article. But that only applies if you're syncing using the agilekeychain format. It has nothing to do with the local data, which is fully encrypted.
As the article said, it still uses the agilekeychain format by default, and requires coercion to switch to OPV.

Dreaddit gave it some love the other day. It looks fantastic, IMO. True horror is knowing no matter how fast you run, you can't get away. Even if the thing is walking, you have to sleep eventually.
/r/Dreaddit... not what I thought it was going to be.
3,662
I didn't hate it, and I can see why Tolstoy is among the literary greats. I just personally don't like literary realism (which I found out thanks to that book). I much prefer Dostoyevsky, I feel like he delves deeper into the character's souls. By the way, how do you like *The Brothers Karamazov*? :)
I haven't read Karamozov yet but I love Crime and Punishment. I read that one in Russian though so the feel was different, I'm not sure about the translation.
3,663
Exactly. I'll still listen to Lostprophets, but I still think Ian Watkins got off light with only 35 years in prison. Total piece of shit; great band.
I was amazed at that light of a sentence after reading about the horrendous shit that he did. It makes me wonder how the people that fought for a light sentence sleep at night knowing they justified a baby raper.
3,664
> They are toxic and politically radical. Don’t use Facebook ever. I like this sentiment. Unfortunately for small business' and stuff - it's a *must* these days to be on these social platforms. I have a friend personally who owns a small business - if it wasn't from people contacting him via facebook, his business would be cut in half.
Yeah but that is mainly in response to an existing user base as well as a platform is easy to use and interact with. If people stopped using facebook, small businesses wouldn't, save to prevent fake pages.

To put it simply, a constant energy input does not lead to a constant acceleration. For that you would need a constant force applied, but the energy required to apply a constant force increases with velocity. Or to put it another way, Energy(Joule) = Force(Newton)*Distance(Meter). As velocity increases, the distance you need to apply the force across increases.
Any reactionless drive is going to have very general problems concerning frame of reference and acceleration.

It seems like it would have to be pretty close to your eyes to need 10k PPI. A 3840x2160 (4k, UltraHD) resolution on a 3 inch screen is about 1,500 [PPI] "good enough" on a mobile phone is generaly considered to be around 350 PPI. There is a common formula that people use to calculate PPI based on distance but I do not know it, I am wondering what the traditional "retina" display calculates out to at oculus rift viewing distances.
Yeah... VR displays *are* pretty close. Like, about an inch maybe? Also PPI is not based on distance, when you add in the distance to the screen the width of a pixel makes an angle so it's PPD.

When I first heard Seu Jorge play Bowie songs from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, I fell in love. A combination of Bowie melodies, acoustic calmness, and that 'summer' feel. On warm nights, I'll sit on my porch, smoke a joint, and listen to the Life Aquatic Studio Sessions under the stars.
I've been hoping for *years* that they end up pressing this album on vinyl at some point. Wes Anderson really knows how to score a movie, and Seu Jorge was just a perfect fucking pick to guide you through the weirdness of The Life Aquatic. And oh man, [Queen Bitch] oh man.

I wouldn't mind at all if it was a big box installed in my yard like a household propane tank. It could be the size of a full car for all I care, just less for me to mow! Bring it in as a single box on the back of a crane truck, and when it drops below a certain threshold have the same truck come with a new one and swap them out! That plus cheap solar and maybe a windmill and I could totally go off grid
This terrifies energy companies. Industrial companies negotiate their rates and could engage in arbitrage with the batteries if they cant generate everything on their own. Couple this with the small nuclear reactors hitting the market over the next 12 years (you can bring the whole reactor assembly including case in a truck) and the growing solar and wind trends, coal's days are numbered.

Isn't that her whole character? Someone trying to be a ruler, but not really sure how to be one.
Yeah, but I just felt like her manner of speaking was a lot different in previous seasons. Like she was unsure, but she didn't speak in short little sentences all the time. There was a bit more of an elegance to it rather than just a "you should fear me because I am a god" kind of vibe to her speech. Idk, I might just be crazy.

> But after a full day of working you just want a machine that always works. Like having to figure out why windows keeps powering your mouse off while you are using it. Edit: Or like my friend who has USB headphones and windows keeps removing power for a second randomly, which also screws with sound settings.
Has never happened to me in windows, but did happen in lunux tbh. I REALLY want to use linux as my main, but I get much greater performance for games on Windows and less bugs. Also, I don't want to try a wine installation for every Windows program I need for school or to help my family. Dual booting isn't a good option either, because I don't want to constantly switch OSes.

It's the same guy in this very scene. As the American planes start attacking he turns around a corner in which 5-6 German soldiers surrender including the same guy, who gives a slight smile. He then shoots him there. Very powerful scene.
It's not the same German soldier, it's one from earlier that surrenders (when they take the radio tower). The one who was singing the American anthem, talking about betty boop.. They make him dig graves and let him leave, blindfolded, on the condition that he surrenders to the next Americans he sees.

You would go through the event horizon just fine, not like it's some impenetrable wall. You'd just keep falling until the tidal forces become so strong that you are spaghettified.
I always thought I'd be crushed by the tremendous gravity way before even crossing the event horizon.

You gotta admit that the credits sequence was pretty dope though
Damn I walked out before it played out. What was it like?

Exactly. It's not just the book as a whole but single paragraphs, sentences, and "aphorisms" that can stand alone as great works of writing. Lord Henry is easily my favourite character of all time.
I'm glad to see Lord Henry's character so revered. Dorian is quite obviously no more than a "canvas" (in more ways than one).

They won't sell them directly to consumers, at least, not in the near future from what they have been saying. They will offer a rideshare service with them. They've already announced that they're testing it with their employees. This announcement actually does mean something, the factory has already built 50 of them. You, as a consumer, just can't buy them yet.
They already built the ones they'll use for their own rideshare. These would be additional units they say for fleets. It would be nice if other companies tried these out.

Gotcha. I watch on my PS4 in the US so I'm not interested in other regions.
Interestingly, you can spoof your DNS settings on your router to make it seem like you're from any region. So you can watch UK Netflix on your PS4.

It sounds like you are just repeating shit you heard from CGP Grey.
A little bit, but I also did a lot of research on the topic afterwords.

And how does your system prevent other people from buying your vote and voting in your place?
I'm not so sure this is a new problem. Today, someone could vote in my place by simply giving the poll worker my name and address. They don't even ask for a photo ID. I guess the only difference is that with e-voting, this could be done *at scale*. Someone could write a little application that pays you a few dollars in exchange for your voting token.

1. Magstripe credit cards. 1. Those forms you fill out to enter the US on an international flight (replaced by the kiosks). 1. Google Hangouts. 1. Snapchat. 1. $60 videogames.
That's list is delusional. Magstripe cards is the only real possibility. Hangouts exists on every google account, every android smartphone, zero chance of dying. Snapchat is extremely popular with the young people. $60 videogames, well, that's not going anywhere.

Cars has more merchandising opportunities so got a sequel no one wanted.
> Cars has more merchandising opportunities so got a sequel boys aged 2 - 10 wanted. FTFY. I love all Pixar films apart from Cars 2 and Brave (and to an extent Cars), but those films aren't really aimed at me. And that's ok. I'd have loved it if those movie to have more for adults, but then maybe my son wouldn't have enjoyed it as much... my son has watched Cars just about every week and has little interest in seeing Up & Wall-E again (sadly).

Are there noise-cancelling headphones that work well? I have a sensory disorder, and the best active noise-cancelling headphones don't seem to do any better than two layers of traditional hearing protection (in-ear plus over-the-ear).
Noise cancelling headphones only really work well with long drawn out sounds like planes vacuums ect. Short bursts of sound can't be picked up, processed and cancelled before they stop.

It's designed not to have accidents right? Take a truck that looks like one of those roadside assistance vehicles, block the car in, make it pull over, slash a tire or two, rip out expensive components, leave.
That sounds way more complicated than just doing that to a normal parked car like all the other car thieves.

Darn, I forgot my petty cash envelope. Let's see here, would you accept that in either *The Tears of the Innocent* or *Hobo Blood*?
Actually if I could get that in *The Hopes and Dreams of Six-Year-Olds*, that'd be great.

Personally when I go to a sequel I watch the previous films days prior. Big fan of Barbershop, the second one is OK. I'd suggest watching both films.
Thanks, I decided to pick up Barbershop 2 from the library tomorrow morning - thanks for the advice :)

Some might say EME was pretty much embrace & extinguish.
how so? allowing closed source DRM in webbrowsers isn't a great idea, but it's not adopting a standard so you can kill it.

[Junior Sisk and Rambler's Choice] [Del McCoury/The Del McCoury Band] [The Steel Drivers] (You'll notice a trend in subject matter, here ^ ) [Steve Martin] [Allison Krauss and Union Station] For less contemporary and more classic: [The Osborne Brothers] [Ralph Stanley] [The Stanley Brothers] Bill Monroe (I can't post a video because all of them I find have the audio removed over copyright stuff) And of course, the masters: Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. [Exhibit A] [Exhibit B] [Exhibit C]
These are so nice! Thanks a lot. I love this Del Mcoury guy's voice. It's like someone's grandpa got up and sang in the middle of a wedding. Also, HA! Steve Martin's talented! It looks like I'm going to be a bigger fan of "classic" stuff. Thank you so much!

[This]@@._V1_.jpg) "There Will Be Blood" poster. It's also the current IMDb cover pic for the film, while [the previous one]@@._V1_SY1000_SX750_AL_.jpg) was one of the best film posters I've ever seen.
I don't actually mind the new one. The old one is amazing though.

:-O I consider myself young and I was 14 when Episode I came out. We all went to see it, and afterwards on the car ride home we were trying to find some redeemable quality for it. But then after a few mumbled statements I went "Was....was that really that bad?" And the rest of the car exploded with "Oh my god yes, thank you for saying it, that was terrible"
Star Wars was the movie that got me into movies; TPM nearly got me out of them. Luckily I saw The Matrix later that year, which got me back into them again.

What is the legal source for your statement? I've seen nothing that supports your view nor is there any record of anyone ever being charged with using this device. Saying something is illegal with not even one legal case anywhere of anyone being charged in conjunction with physical obstruction laws being clearly defined makes me question where you read otherwise.
> What is the legal source for your statement? From: >"is illegal to mount license plates frames, colored glass, plastic **or any other type of covering** on your license plates that alters or obscures the letters, numbers, decals or the state where the vehicle is registered, and when the registration expires. I bolded that part for you. This device falls under "any other type" of covering, even though it is using light, it is using that light as a cover to do exactly what any other physical cover or obscuring device would do, which makes it fall under the same category of device types.

Expect this more and more. Now that neural interface technology has been developed into a reliable form, mechanical/technological replacements will be sought after more than biological solutions.
Nah man. We don't deal with NFT's. We thought about it but instead we went after something much more cost effective and tangible. Instead what we are focusing on is obtaining data from the wheelchair and the user to better their lives of those in the chair and caretakers.

It would be a little weird to sing "Imagine there's no countries" when hosting a competition between countries.
It's not a competition of countries, it's a competition of the *athletes of the world*

But windows prompts you to install another browser, even if its prompt leans towards recommending Edge. When was the last time Chrome's splash page gave you a Firefox link?
Not in the US. Only in the EU. The use allows the invisible hand do it's work.

that's actually amazing. for our population, that's huge. i've always been so fucking proud of our history in the world wars. we fought fiercely to protect the sovereignty of our friends, and to put a stop to the fascism that was nazis
There is a reason that in the first world war the Germans likened the Canadians to their own Sturmtruppen. And without the Canadian navy Britain would have been wholely unsupplied until the Americans got heavily involved in the Second.

Performing better isn't the question. Apple's all about the better overall end user experience for normal people, and ubiquitous wireless headphones are that. It was the same way with the Ethernet jack removal on notebooks. WiFi never performed better than Ethernet, yet it was removed at a time when pressure for WiFi to become ubiquitous was important. At the time, people complained about needing a dongle to get network access in their office / bedroom / doghouse. Years later it's clear WiFi is the better overall end user experience, and we don't even discuss it any more.
Bullshit. Wifi is easier to hook up but is far worse in quality. More users and/or routers in the same area degrade the quality. Yes its nice to just connect but it doesn't matter too much if the connection is shit. It'll be worse the more bandwidth internet services demand which is on an upward trend. The multiple users trying to use the same bandwidth will magnify this problem.

Airplane mode would obviously be circumvented in a future update if Google or Apple were compromised. The only really effective way to circumvent it would be to remove the code from it in a kernel patch.
It's already been circumvented. I forget the thread and (ironically) can't search for it since I'm on my mobile, but someone who works in the hardware and chipset industry verified that all new smart phones have cellular CPUs that are independent of the OS and can be in operation even when your phone is off "off". There's been evidence for a while now that it's technically possible for your phone to act as a "hot mic" even if its turned off as long as the battery remains.

People in this thread are complaining about that story always getting reposted yet I've been on reddit for years and have been a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for over a decade and this is literally the first time I've ever heard this story. So thank you for posting it instead of alluding to it in a complaint like everyone else has. That is a sad fucking story.
I think the story was on here once, about a year ago. But really, don't come here and share information... How dare these nice people talk about the song, and the meaning behind it!! Can we keep the discussion about Rampart, please and thank you?

Well as an example, captains wages from 2012ish can be seen here. Electricians, Mechanics, etc are likely to be making about the same, since if they screw up, boats tend to not get to where they're going. My neighbour was an electrician for the boats where I live and he was making no less than $250,000/year by the time he retired. $1.5mil / year / boat in salaries isn't exactly difficult to get to with tradesmen, and having to pay people to work 24/7 for month(s) on end. I'd not be even a little surprised if that number is quite a lot higher.
Given the volume, that's not that much money. Imagine the same amount in any other context outside of low wage workers. That could easily be 20 or so employees.
