The 4 dead service members from last week and the absolute cluster fuck that resulted in their deaths... but at least we are on top of this... thank god.
But then what you are saying is that the status quo is, in fact, honest and ethical, which the GP clearly dissagrees with. So do you have any evidence that society as it stands is honest and ethical or is it just that you identify with the status quo and believe that anyone who disagrees with it is dishonest and unethical?
Tickets to see the new Bladerunner movie in IMAX were 20 bucks last weekend at my local theater... 3D non IMAX were $19. The cheapest option was $14 and all of that is before any fees you might pay for buying your tickets online (which you probably want to do for a reserved seat show).
No I mean more like the amount of benefit that San Francisco would see in getting the HQ vs say, Denver. Property values can only go up so much, eventually the cost of living would drive out smaller employers, even in tech (I think you could already argue that this is happening in the valley which has lead to other cities becoming startup hubs). In Denver I think you would see a much higher upside to bringing in those 50K good paying jobs which might make it worth bending over backwards for Amazon where in another part of the country it might make less sense.
Yeah but you do have to figure that that helps some areas more than others. Places that already have high property values and high rates of tech employment might not see as much benefit as other locations. On the other hand, locations that stand a to gain the most from that bump in employment are more likely to give the best tax breaks.
So you are telling me that somehow, you manage to have a phone and it doesn't completely control your life? that you manage to get all the advantages you want out of a phone without giving it any more attention than what YOU desire?
What is your secret because from what I read on the internet (including this particular summary) what you describe is impossible. The phone upon purchase is surgically grafted to your hand and your eyes are pried open in some clockwork orange way an forced to look unblinking upon whatever the phone decides to show you next.
The world needs to know your secret... you should write a book! Not that anyone reads them anymore.
yeah because a lot of people who are on the fence about carrying even a phone never mind a smartphone really are just dying to have all the features that you or I might add to a rooted phone.
And if they did buy a helmet there are a million other accessories to market them... maybe a bluetooth headset, or a phone holder... maybe some other gear since half the riders I see on the road seem to think a helmet will protect them when they ride in tee shirts and shorts.
no more so than thumbprints are really but people are far more likely to lock their phone if they can use a quick biometric test rather than typing in a passcode. Its certainly a lot more secure than unlocked. Lots of people just didn't lock their phone before biometrics were an option
Actually you have a limited time between unlocks until it requires a pin and with the new OS that this will ship with, tapping the power button a few times before your police encounter will disable all but a pin based unlock. Maybe not so useful for a no-knock raid but certainly something you could use at the border, or when you are pulled over.
Normal apple stock behavior, it goes up in anticipation of an announcement and then drop a bit when folks are selling off at what they expect is a local maximum (and it usually is). Its been like this for a long time
Almost certainly it was by an electric toothbrush company pissed off that these guys were selling compatible cheep brush heads rather than forcing you to buy their incredibly overpriced brush heads. Those brush heads have a markup that would make traditional razor manufacturers blush.
Actually I suspect that you would find that the reason this is as low as it is is because there are actually a lot of tech jobs outside of the valley, NYC, Boston, Seattle ect. Places were making 90K, or even less, leaves you with considerable disposable income. The averages in the higher price areas are probably higher than the national average (though in some cases, maybe not enough above). Admittedly there aren's salary surveys that I know of that adjust all salaries to some geographically neutral baseline but that would be pretty interesting.
I would do what any sane person would do if they don't like what a company is doing. I would cease to give that company any money and move the fuck on. And if its so important to you that a company host this site you are more than welcome to pull all of your sites from any company that rejects the business of storm front or whatever other group you like.
He certainly has the right and if he cannot afford a lawyer one will be appointed for him... chances are one of his worthless confederate terrorist brethren will end up providing him representation pro-bono. He has the right and he will be represented but that doesn't mean that a fund raising website has to facilitate that in some way.
Except no such thing ever happened. BLM never called for the attack and issued a statement condemning it immediately after, something our bullshit president couldn't even do after a shit stain terrorist in a charger drove over a bunch of innocent people.
No, I did not feel that way because I was raised to be mature, kind and compassionate. My point was that the poster thinks that somehow his is the first generation to have to face people criticizing insitutional racism and sexism and the fact of the matter is that it isn't. My generation faced it just as much, and while some people in my generation did feel that they were being blamed for society, those of us who practice compassion took the time instead to look at the complaints of various groups and think "You know, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if we tried to address these issues.
And if you really think that somehow the criticisms are different now than they were then you are a fool, there were both serious legitimate and serious hyperbolic claims made... ESPECIALLY in the early days of the internet. I'm telling you right now that, while the phrasing may have adapted slightly over time, nothing you are hearing now from marginalized groups is any different from what was being said back in the 80s and 90s.... people like to believe that things change so quickly but they don't they were just as prevalent then even if you were not in a position to notice.
Minorities certainly face much more difficulty than I do in my industry, as do women. I have absolutely seen people of high skill underpaid because of gender or race, or discounted in hiring by managers. I can certainly understand why minorities and women struggle at times in the tech industry, it is in many ways, set against them.
But other white men? That I have a much harder time swallowing. I have worked at companies owned and run by women and I have never once seen a white man passed up for a position if he had the qualifications. When I hear a white man complaining that he can't get ahead in his career due because of affirmative action then all the evidence I have in my life tells me that that man probably isn't as good at his job as he thinks. I interview people all the time who are not nearly as good at what they do as they think they are, in this case, that seems the most likely scenario... or at least much more likely to be the case than a highly skilled, high performing white man being laid off from a firm.
You seem to think that this is a new phenomenon... that the idea that we should treat women and minorities decently is somehow just coming up... or the idea that equal representation might be an important thing for minorities, or that you shouldn't sexually harass co-workers....
All this stuff was around in the 90s, most of it came into being in the 80s. You might believe you are the first generation to be held to a higher standard, but thats simply not true.
As a white male... getting jobs, keeping jobs, getting good performance reviews. I have a great job at a major company in a seriously competitive area and for some reason I never have any trouble keeping up with the various women and non-white men in my workplace. I never see competent people of any color being let go in my work environments, only the low performers.
I guess when you just can't hack it as an engineer you have to fall back on the court system to prop you up. I'm not sure its going to work out that well for these folks.

Movie theaters have gotten pretty damn expensive
freight isn't in a hurry

yeah but best to drop it in there to make it feel relevant

You you are thinking of a puffin, a boffin is one of those guys who died trying to get the plans to the second death star.
Almost certainly it was by an electric toothbrush company pissed off that these guys were selling compatible cheep brush heads rather than forcing you to buy their incredibly overpriced brush heads. Those brush heads have a markup that would make traditional razor manufacturers blush.
I had to jump through hoops to go from being a Mac developer using XCode and objective-C to being an iOS developer using XCode and objective-c.
