There are only three movies announced so far, and if you look at Marvel, a comparable Disney-owned franchise as an example, I think they're going to do right by it.

This is a painful reminder that Stars Wars will be milked to death for years due to Episode VII's success
Soon we'll need more than iconic Star Wars imagery and music to sustain a good movie
Star Wars was already milked to death by the EW. At least it's under control now.

It's basically three still frames with sound effects. Pretty boring trailer.

The idea that progressivism and liberalism are the same thing is the issue. There are progressive conservatives and there are regressive liberals. The popular line about liberals being creative free-thinkers and conservatives being stodgy traditionalists is a farce that both sides espouse to the point that some conservatives use the word "progressive" as an insult and vice versa, when in truth progressivism is about advancing social welfare and morality; conservatism and liberalism explicitly refer to the degree with which the government compels society to change. Liberal progressives see the government as a primary means to enforce social change; the goverment conceives of a change and forces society to comply. Conservative progressives believe change must originate within society, rather than through government compulsion. So while it might make you feel special to tell yourself that as a liberal you're a member of America's club of creative, progressive, artistic individuals, it's really little more than dishonest rhetoric.

""Anonymous"" metadata can include personally identifying information as phone numbers, names, and call data?
The anonymity is derived from being legally protected by a court, not that the data has no personal information.

I'm not sure how it's anything but anonymous. Nobody sees phone numbers, names, or call data until a warrant is obtained.
Do you see the conflict in that statement? If you can discern that information from it, it's not anonymous by definition; it's locked behind a warrant.
I don't see the conflict.

We don't consider artificial organs and tissues in labs to be individuals. We don't consider the brain-dead to be themselves anymore.
It's pretty disingenuous to compare a fetus to an artificial (or natural) organ or brain-dead patients.
Why specifically?
Because "fetus" refers to an entire organism, not a single organ of one.

The point of anonymous metadata is that people don't have access to it, not that a profile can't be built from the information.
That's not what 'anonymous' implies. The NSA knows that.

Take the NSA for example; their system actually is anonymous and requires a warrant to take any steps to reveal identifying information. But things like Google or telecom companies collecting your browsing habits, your social network, etc? Yeah that's pretty ominous.

Impartiality to the result is more critical.
And who's qualified to judge bias? An impartial journal of peers reviewing the research, maybe?
Don't kid yourself, any modern scientific journal wouldn't be able to get away with any anti-GMO insinuations or they'd be taken care of.
Frankly that's ridiculous, insulting, and unfounded, but for someone whose most important issue is banning GMOs you're surprisingly short on research. Still waiting.

Keep telling yourself that. They only create more sickness in the human body, which in turn keeps the populace popping pills churned out by Big Pharma. It's all an interconnected scam. But please, go back to getting your information from Monsanto.com.
I've asked you for research and you haven't provided any.
Any research I'd give you, you'd call illegitimate or not peer-reviewed or whatever. Well, newsflash, the big important studies aren't the impartial ones, they're the ones that corporations like Monsanto buy and sell. People underestimate the power that these conglomerates have in our world by so much.
Peer review is critical in the field of science, but you haven't shown any regardless.

- Eliminating the entire process of genetically modifying organisms through chemical intervention
GMO's are crucial to keeping up with demand, fighting disease, reducing pesticide use, and reducing hunger and poverty worldwide.

Currently running a vulture with class 3 gimballed pulse lasers and a bunch of shield boosters and hull reinforcements. I slaughter everything short of wings of anacondas. Also, Robigo was fantastic. I used a cobra with lots of extra fuel so I could go like 600Ly without refueling. It's like 5mil per hour on a decent trip.

https://fi.google.com/about/Basically they're using other peoples' networks and infrastructure to give you cheap cell service. Only a few Nexus phones work with it currently and the network is absent from a large part of the midwest, but it could still be a decent option for anyone looking for an inexpensive cell plan. $20 for standard calls and texting and $10 per GB of data, with no fees for going over and unused data is rolled out via credit to the next month.

>1/3 of the housing properties are vacant
>Extreme deficit
>Urban decay
It's almost as if crime, unemployment, shit education, and corruption are all symptoms of the things above, and it's pretty amazing that in the entire video there isn't a single mention of the collapse of their automotive industry resulting in the loss billions of dollars and 65% of the population. I'm willing to agree that liberal spending habits aren't conducive to such an environment, but the idea that Detroit's poverty is due to dumb black liberal politicians is just dishonest.

it was actually kinda astonishing how closely the scene with nick trying to buy ice cream mirrored real life segregation
I wouldn't personally know, but yeah. Less "you're black so you're not welcome" and more "this is just for us" sort of thing. A couple lines that stood out were when Hops called Nick "articulate", and when Hops said only rabbits can call each other "cute".

Another quant test: Spoiler Question 1 (Math Pulse trivia category)
Fermat’s Sandwich Theorem reveals what mathematical fact?
A) A function between two others that have the same limit has that limit as well.
B) 26 is the only number immediately between a square and a cube.
C) A bounded increasing sequence has a limit.
D) 152 is the largest number immediately between a prime and a triangular number.
E) Any sandwich can be cut so that both pieces have the same amount of bread and the same amount of filling.
Question 2 (Gardner Greats based on the work of Martin Gardner)
Which of the following must be true about the handshaking that occurred at a recent teachers’ convention?
A) The number of teachers who shook hands an odd number of times is even.
B) The number of teachers who shook hands an even number of times is odd.
C) The number of teachers who shook hands an odd number of times is odd.
D) The number of teachers who shook hands an even number of times is even.
E) The number of times teachers shook hands is odd.
Question 3 (Math Classics, easier level)
Given any quadrilateral, connecting the midpoints of consecutive sides will always result in which of the following shapes?
A) square
B) rhombus
C) rectangle
D) parallelogram
E) kite
Question 4 (Math Pulse pop culture)
Who among the following received a scholarship to study Chemical Engineering with Mathematics at Northwestern University?
A) Heidi Klum
B) Kate Moss
C) Brooke Shields
D) Naomi Campbell
E) Cindy Crawford
Question 5 (From the Finals Round)
Let m be the smallest positive integer such that m²+7m+89 is divisible by 77. What is m?
A) 8
B) 18
C) 52
D) 73
E) 74
I got 4/5 correct when I first saw it but two of those were just dumb luck. I reasoned through 2 and 3, plugged in each answer for 5, happened to know the sandwich theorem for 1, and guessed wrong on 4. Now I might be retarded, but I stand by saying that a middle schooler could solve that. It's just a trick question.
A lot of math/engineering interview questions are meant to demonstrate a logic process, like the question asking, "how many Hershey bars were sold last year?" You're supposed to estimate average consumption for various demographics, be able to state those demographics (i.e., percentage of US population of different races, age, etc), and apply it to give an answer. Just one example is the Navy's nuclear engineering program; the interview is literally sitting down in front of two nuclear engineers and answering whatever problems they care to ask about chemistry, physics, calculus, or anything.

but no. 2 could be answered by any middle schooler
What's the answer?
12:15
15 minutes is a quarter hour
quarter of a circle is 90 deg
or
alternatively
you look at a clock
and see that 12:15 makes a fucking right angle
The hour hand moves slightly with the minute hand. At 12:15 the angle must be less than 90 degrees because the hour has moved slightly clockwise. At 15 minutes past the hour it will be 1/4 of the way to the next hour. 1/4 of 30 degrees (there are 30 degrees between each hour) is 7.5. 90 - 7.5 = 82.5
