California is an "at-will employment" state. That means someone can be fired for any reason at any time. Afterward, someone may sue for things like discrimination of a protected class, but otherwise that's it.
He was oversharing unsolicited details of his sex life with someone he didn't even know. That definitely crosses the line into harassment in my book even without a proposition.
If I keep the original footage, and they don't have a work for hire agreement, I will easily be able to resist those. They don't want to waste money even if they could bankrupt me.
the phone company re-uses telephone numbers when you cancel your account!
And too quickly, too. Especially when they're terminated for non-payment, meaning that the number's owner was likely to owe on collections to a dozen companies or so. I wish you could pay extra to get a number that's been dead for longer.
And if you tell a collections caller that you aren't who they're trying to reach, they're legally obligated not to call you anymore....Yeah, they don't believe you. That's what the person who owes the money would say to get the calls to stop, too.
The data is still your property. They just have an irrevocable right to use and sublicense it. Not much practical difference other than you can still sell your own licenses to it and you can still use it personally.
And it seems to only be possible because people with adequate home wifi are generally subsidizing the rest. And if those people had lower packages available, it wouldn't work.
It's shared among all the devices on the plan. And if you use more one month, your plan only goes up for that month. If you use less one month, your bill actually goes down to the lowest package that contains your usage.
I'd maybe recommend Ting for that too. $6/mo. per line, plus whatever bucket size of minutes/texts you use that month. If you use minutes/texts like I do, but no data at all, that's about $26/mo. for two lines before taxes. With these (and even the major carriers now), you have to buy/bring your own phone.
Before I went smartphone, I rarely used texting - 5-10 msgs per month. I probably did better on Net10. It was $30 every 2 months to top up and keep two flip phones going with 300 minutes per 2 months. Used VoIP a lot more for calling at home then.
They're trying to get every customer on their largest package by playing with the price. I don't need unlimited data. Or 20GB of data. Or even 2GB. I get by on home wifi and 1GB or less away from home. My wife and I pay less than $50 for two phones on Ting.
The whole 'fear of missing out' thing is working for them. I'm just happy to be connected - I don't need to be streaming audio or video over a congested cell tower.
Wouldn't that keep the phone from sending audio out the built-in speakers? Only sounds useful if you're also using bluetooth to send it to a receiver...that might also have FM built-in.
HD Radio (in the US) rides on top of the main analog signal. It does bring some encoding artifacts with it, but it's nothing compared to the cranked up compressor and band pass filters on the analog signal. You generally get FM quality audio out of AM radio and close to 160Kbps MP3 equivalent audio on the FM side. Not perfect, but far from bad - the main problem is that it only gets 1% of the broadcast power of the analog signal, so the range is not so great.
That one goes back to at least 2000. Just because the anti-vax group latched onto it doesn't make the science any less.
Not toxins, though - antibodies intended by the vaccine. Have a look at PANDAS for another as-yet unproven disease that may be caused by ordinary antibodies.
And these predispositions would likely be genetic - clearly you wouldn't eliminate the causative vaccine. Rather, you would do genetic testing before vaccinating - and allow for a medical exemption in any laws written mandating vaccines. That is, if any link is ever definitively established.
I don't think that's the only hypothesis still floating. There are a few hypotheses that autism may be autoimmune in nature, and caused by the immune response to one or more vaccines - where parts of the brain itself becomes a target of those antibodies.
They had wireless earphones to sell. They made a market out of that piece of plastic and it ended up costing less than nothing - they made buckets of money on that.
I don't think the Kyoto goals were guaranteed to fix everything - just a starting goal. As it stands, the US has outsourced a lot of its CO2 production to China, a country that definitely is not meeting any standard of C02 reduction whatsoever.
You can build a wind turbine over 80% efficient out of trash in your back yard.
Does this apply to everyone's backyard? I have a few leaves, half a styrofoam cup, and a large toy inflatable ball that blew in from the neighbor's yard. Please send me the plans at your earliest convenience.

May I introduce you to the Bristol Stool Chart. "Normal" is within the range of 3-4.
California is an "at-will employment" state. That means someone can be fired for any reason at any time. Afterward, someone may sue for things like discrimination of a protected class, but otherwise that's it.

Well that means that the summary didn't summarize - it changed the message.
Why can't they just stitch "I record audio and upload it to the Internet" on a replacement shirt for the doll and call it done?
If I keep the original footage, and they don't have a work for hire agreement, I will easily be able to resist those. They don't want to waste money even if they could bankrupt me.

the data becomes their property

And is smoking just a way of getting nicotinic acid as a byproduct (aka Niacin aka Vitamin B3)?

Any terraforming we could possibly apply to Mars could be applied to Earth easier.
There are a lot of options that would require an entire planet being uninhabitable during the process. How would that be easier to do on Earth?
Maybe he's a chimera.
Or more accurately, symptoms can't be detected until months after.

With terms like "nationwide" and naming several states in the summary, I think it's a reasonable thing to assume.
I don't think that's the only hypothesis still floating. There are a few hypotheses that autism may be autoimmune in nature, and caused by the immune response to one or more vaccines - where parts of the brain itself becomes a target of those antibodies.
A dictionary does not resolve ambiguity. It really wasn't clear.

CO2 targets arent important
I don't think the Kyoto goals were guaranteed to fix everything - just a starting goal. As it stands, the US has outsourced a lot of its CO2 production to China, a country that definitely is not meeting any standard of C02 reduction whatsoever.
