This has to a be fake: Everything loads too fast. There's no way it could be faster than today's modern software and hardware...

Since I can't reply to a dead comment: As long as people are respectful and follow the guidelines, sure. Edit: your other replies are not respectful and seem to violate the guidelines. Edit 2: Anyone can be respectful to anyone else re

Does it do turn-by-turn? I currently use Google Maps on my Android phone for its navigation. That's important to me, but another user is saying there are Linux apps that do that already, so for me, that's even better!

Just running uBlock Origin, the pictures did not load for me either. I imagine that website is doing something that I wouldn't approve of.

The people that don't care about Climate Change will still be having kids. Raising kids and teaching them well is one of the best hopes humanity has.

Is (1) a by-product of (2), or is (2) a by-product of (1)? Some people are arguing that hollow points were designed for (1), causing the most damage, and that (2), stopping in the target, is just a side-effect of its true purpose.

I had to do an internet search. It was Pearl High School, and it looks like the principal only stopped the subject from leaving the school grounds. Who knows if the subject would have killed more elsewhere, the subject had already killed

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. I think I agree with you: It is difficult to identify between good and bad guys. A kid with a gun might be a good person making a terrible mistake which is why I wouldn't want t

> has there ever been a case where a teacher successfully shot a school shooter before any innocents could be harmed? I don't think there ever will be. I would probably not shoot a kid that I only suspect would shoot someone. I

I edited "stop" to "prevent over-penetration" before I saw your reply. I meant about the bullet not going through anything and hitting someone unintentionally.

Yes, designed to expand in order to stop, not designed to expand in order to harm. I do feel for the teacher; the situation is not ideal and I wouldn't want to have to shoot someone I'm supposed to take care of either. I think it&

"hollow points, rounds designed to swell upon impact to ensure maximum harm." My understanding is that hollow points were designed to prevent over-penetration rather than to harm more. How does the author know it was designed to

Yes, I am one of them. They are not a fly-by-night company with a random Kickstarter. Of course it was a calculated risk, but it was worth it at the time, and it seems to be panning out in my favor. If you consider everything that people

Do you have a source? They said "confirmed". Of course you could say everything is an estimate up until the point it actually happens.

Yeah, that is a bit disappointing. I would probably be irritated if it went into Q4, but considering I wouldn't know where to begin if I were to build a phone from scratch, I can't complain... too loudly.

I wonder how many people pre-ordered the phone. It might be a small-enough order, that they don't need to reserve parts with any one supplier as any decent supplier could fill the order on short notice. I'm hoping the experience

I don't see any damage control. It's odd to me that people are nitpicking the negative news rather than the positive news. They're making progress towards a privacy-respecting phone. I'm excited.

They wrote "the previous Q2 estimate is now confirmed for Q3 product shipping." I haven't gone back to see what they said/estimated in the past, but going from an estimate to a ship date that's only off by 1 quarter

I just looked at the reviews on Amazon. One reader wrote, "If you're looking for everyday examples of the felonies you and I unwittingly commit each day, you won't find them here." I guess I won't be buying it.

Considering the US has states that are larger than those countries, can 4th year students from those countries fill in a map of all the US states?

> there's a complicated bidding process to even attempt to sell them to the school! Did he mean complicated process for the school to buy them, or was he making them and selling them to the school himself?

I highly recommend Marine Engineering at a maritime academy if mechanically or mathematically -inclined. You get a four-year engineering degree and a license from the US Coast Guard as an Engineering Officer. You can easily pay off your st

That feels like a ridiculously low number to me. Not all subs will be underway at the same time. 70% of Earth's surface is covered in water, and they only need 66‽ Though is it 66 more, or 66 total? If it's 66 total, that'
