Lots of claims in this article, yet very little to substantiate the claims, or any counter arguments regarding them. That's not proper journalism at all.
Idk...the article starts with talking about the history of Google Maps, then talks about Apple's Maps, and then complains pretty much at what looks like desktop features based off the snapshot in the article. Maybe the setup is different on iOS vs Android?
When I use Google Maps in my car, it doesn't pop up all these different places...it asks me to input a destination, and then it gives directions. Granted, I don't use it to include walking or other forms of transportation. The CarPlay interface has options to find gas stations, hotels, restaurants, etc., yet it doesn't clutter the display with those when I'm in transit.
I'm in agreement that the desktop version has a lot of clutter, no doubt. As far as my experience, the mobile app doesn't have a lot of issues where I use it the most.
Good article. I also posted an article from The Verge that mentioned a few other details including ease of manufacturing the material easily and cheaply to be effective if the research pans out and positively identifies K-99 as a true room temperature superconductor.
So all this is exciting, but everyone still needs to take the news with a grain of salt. Don’t get discouraged though, it’s a serious breakthrough if the material is truly replicated.
Yeah, he’s liable alright. Planning a giveaway without permitting with the city is pretty huge. I’m fairly confident that given the supply chain issues with the console, and the fact he wanted the event to take place at one of the busiest locations in NYC, the city might have denied the permit outright.

"It's only a game. It isn't revenge [against boats], it isn't climate change, it's just a game and that's it," said Dr Renaud de Stephanis, a scientist based on the south coast of Spain.
It's only a matter of time some low-effort studio makes this into a monster-of-the-week horror movie for the Syfy network.
I'm looking at you The Asylum, who made that horrible movie Atlantic Rim. I'll never get that 85 minutes of my life back again.
The point still stands. The Japanese didn't have to bomb Hawaii, yet they still made that choice. Regardless of complications around trade, embargoes, and peaceful alliances (all of which are peaceful tools nations states use to fulfill their best interests), the Japanese were the aggressors in the Pacific.
I'm not trying to sound callous in regards to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because unfortunately the reason the U.S. used those bombs was to avoid a land invasion at the cost of thousands of more lives of their soldiers, not Japanese. I hate to say that dropping nuclear bombs on an enemy was due to estimates of casualties in either scenario. Math determined that dropping the bombs saved more lives than invasion through conventional means.
IN any other timeline, the bombing of Tokyo alone by the U.S. would be considered a war crime. Even more so the nuclear genocide in Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Only the fact that The Allies were victorious kept the U.S. from facing war crimes.
I would surmise that Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow has somewhat altered the main timeline, and there could be some minor adjustments with the characters to accommodate the story that showrunners want to tell.
I'd consider the Pike/Kirk relationship to be a minor thing. If they meet again, I'd be okay with it if the story broke some of the canon. I mean, they already changed the timeline of the Eugenics War, so is it a huge deal if Pike and Kirk come face to face a couple more times throughout the series?
I like it as well, yet I didn't find a place in Trek forums until I left Reddit last month. So this is new territory for me. Take it in stride, there are other Discovery fans out there.
Former Navy here. My experience was kind of opposite, however I knew when I rose my hand the first time it was bs. I told my recruiter I wasn't going, and he said that that oath was solid, and I called him on it. I eventually went and spent nine years.
The oath was the only time my recruiter lied to me, but everything else was honest. I'm not saying he didn't paint a rosy picture, he did, yet he told me not every day was going to be like that. I caught up with him for HARP duty, and he let me know how much he hated recruiting and wanted to go back out to sea (this is saying something because shore duty is supposed to be the shit for a duty station...I spent mine in Key West). The last time I saw him was in Norfolk on Pier 12 as he was making his way to the USS America, and I was making my way to the USS Enterprise.
There's a lot of pressure to fulfill quotas, and a recruiter's advancement is dependent upon making those quotas. It's a lot of pressure for someone to have when the two to three years you spend on shore duty is classically supposed to be better than spending your time on a ship (or boat if you're a submariner).
I could only keep drawing parallels in Babs' performance to Jamis in Dune. It's like he brought the tension in that fight scene with Paul Atreides to the entirety of this episode. He is an amazing actor, and I love how he brings this mystery to M'benga, and how writers continue to peel his layers away as the series progresses.
I would like to see an Otegas focused episode though. While there was some focus with her in this episode, it was definitely overshadowed by M'benga and Chapel.
I agree with you, it seems very short-sighted of the CDE to block information by researchers.
“What are state officials afraid of?” Jacobs said. “That their performance in running the school system during the pandemic in fact aggravated the achievement gap? That notwithstanding their protestations, they haven’t done enough to address that problem?” (bold added by me)
I think the CDE might be afraid that there will be political fallout from the opinion I put in bold above. I think everyone can say that children at home during 2020 and 2021 didn't receive the best education they could've received at their respective schools, and it's more than likely it affected poor and minorities over white children. Yet that seems to be universal.
It's easy to blame teachers and administrators, but I think they were trying to do the best they could given the direction they received from their boards, state, and federal officials. That children received education at home during a pandemic is a phenomenal feat, given that you couldn't have done that effectively a decade ago. I firmly believe that educators and policy makers should use COVID19 as a lesson, and move on.
They could use a thesaurus from time to time. Slam, is overused.
