The configuration should be yes/no and always-ask/never-ask with the default being no and always ask.

Most of these products are vanity items that we should not even bother producing. For my part, I still purchase Gatorade in powder form. 8 gallons for $10 save both money and plastic.

I provided context for this, WW2. The Allies were cut off from the natural rubber supply of Southeast Asia at the beginning of the war. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_rubber

I heard something related to this recently. The development of synthetic rubber meant we did not need to control regions with rubber plantation. This was mentioned in association with World War II. Another interesting point discussed was that in order to send secure communication by wire you had to control the land the wire traversed to prevent disruption of the communication. The invention of wireless communication meant that you only had to control the terminals of the communication.

This reminds me part 1 of the 2 part "Reconstruction: America After The Civil War," airs tonight (April 9 and 16).

The licensing of DVDs versus Streams seems to be out of wack. How is it that Netflix can license so many more movies to distribute through their DVD service than they are able to license to distribute through their Stream service?

Or not at all.

How much of the wealth will make it's way to drivers?

Where are they going? Instagram? This is not leaving Facebook.

edit: How do you down-vote the fact that Facebook owns Instagram?

I'm confused. China is not America.

China is not a democracy. You have the rights the government says you have.

If this guy is guilty of DUI, what does this say about the future of autonomous vehicles? While I expect autopilot is less sophisticated than autonomous vehicles, he wasn't given the opportunity to violate the "sophistication" of autopilot. I expect his vehicle would have remained under control of the autopilot on the freeway until he woke and disabled autopilot. He may then have been legally DUI, but if we trust autopilot, then he wasn't DUI at the time the police disrupted the autopilot.

“at this time, no foul play is expected", but is it suspected?

Haven't read the book, but there was definitely something off about the Netflix series. It was good and worth watching. While Samin is a wonderful, jolly personality and a large brained chef, she is not interesting enough to carry the series.

Of course they did. Time to bring back the pager.

Snoop Dogg is weed.

One thing I wish was configurable is how the ominbar now shows both titles and links. I navigate by link and would like to disable the presentation of titles.

This may be from another article, but I would like a formal definition of what "in a state of undress" means.

This isn't limited to Amazon and Twitter. I see similar "pleasantries" posted about Netflix on Reddit.

Life goes on.
