Atom is amazing. Better than Sublime Text. Install the emmet package and never look back.

The campaign is in slow-mode right now. Right near the ending of this year and the beginning of 2016 is when the political season ramps up. The media will begin tearing into whatever they get paid to report.

As for why people don't think they can stand up to Hillary, it's because she's a household name. We've been seeing her face on screens and in print for a very long time. This gives her a huge advantage. I hadn't heard of Sanders until the beginning of this year.

Although it is all far off from reality still

I wouldn't be so sure. Between the Tom Clancy style mini-biographies (God I hate them) the article mentions that this could be worth billions, and they are right. This means genome research gets done quicker. This means new crops are developed faster. Human genome editing will come much later. The ability to do research that is already being done with more precision is what's important. Money is the great motivator.

We have large fission reactors that are completely safe and environmentally negligible. But cars still use gas, industry still makes emissions.

I live in an area in the U.S. that is very right wing. Our publicly elected sheriff burns a cross before election season.

Normally we have a very wet spring. It rained twice this spring. It rained once again in June, and again a few weeks ago. We have had record breaking temperatures all summer. Where we normally have several feet of snowfall, this winter we had inches.

People complain about the weather we're having and I look them in the eye and say, "Climate change." Then their eyes widen and they look scared and don't say anything. Not a single one. They know it, but they can't accept it.

I would argue that the availability of uranium ore and obscure books matters only when a person wishes to purchase uranium ore and obscure books; the rest of the time they're buying on price and convenience.

I can't tell you how many times I thought, "I'll go to store X and see if they have item a. But maybe they don't, I should probably go to store Y because they also have b, c, d, and e. I don't mind paying a bit extra for availability."

Granted, I don't do it as much with online shopping, because I know how to online shop. My mom, however. If she doesn't find it in a store she goes to amazon because she knows Amazon has everything. Needs a gardening tool they don't have at the hardware store? Skip the hardware store's website, go straight to Amazon.

I'd argue having uranium ore and obscure books does matter to the customer.

This is a perfect example of a technology that will not catch on, at least not in it's intended way. I'm not the only one who read the article with a sour taste in my mouth.

The whole social aspect will take on a google glass effect. It's uncouth and incompatible with how we act. I wouldn't expect anyone to have face to face interactions based on proximity notifications. We don't meld digital socialization and real socialization like that.

>For instance, a consumer subscribed to a social gaming network would get pinged whenever another gamer walks into the same room, allowing them to instantly set up a face-to-face match over their smartphones.

No. I don't like the sound of that. I don't want to interact with a stranger that way. Awkward and ham fisted seem like good descriptors.

>Devices using Wi-Fi Aware will intermittently scan the vicinity for other Wi-Fi gadgets.

This is what it will be used for. Collecting big data. It will go on that long list of permissions that people blindly accept. Facebook will know who you spend time in rooms with. They will know who didn't come to the family reunion. LinkdIn will know who you work in the same building with, who you commute with (If their development team can figure it out since they seem to be stuck in 2003).

Excellent reply! Having enough surface understanding to be able to apply common sense to a subject is literacy. Knowing about it enough to teach it is mastery.

The more people know the better, which is why we need to try harder to perpetually achieve a higher standard of education. Not just in the U.S., but in the third world as well.

I'm not totally new, but kind of new. It really depends. Everything tastes totally different. If you have a friend that's really into beer, they could probably give you a taste or two, possibly guide you. Try a whole slew of types! Then go back to the beginning, try everything twice.
