Yep. My one plus is still going strong as well. If I bothered to use cases and treat the phone better I'd probably only need to update my phone every 3 years. As it is, wear and tear are the reasons I tend to upgrade. More often that not its the damn micro usb port. Hopefully the type c connectors will be much more durable.
Maybe I missed it in the article but I'm wondering what is this supposed to do send an sms or some kind of ws call with the GPS coordinates that goes to a "call back" call center or something? Does it just initiate a regular call to the local 911 equivalent in India?
That mosquito's range may be slightly extended but we have always had that species here. It has often been discussed how with the same transmission mechanisms in place in the US so few occurrences of dengue fever and other such things are observed in the US.
I would expect that the solitary confinement was for his protection. If one of those had been my child, my only priority would be to get put in general population with that guy.
I didn't mean to indicate that I think you are or in the future will be one of those drains on society that we tend to see caricatured in conservative media. My perspective on disability is colored by my experiences and I grew up in what was pretty much a coal town. It might be unfair to say that everyone I know and encountered that went on disability didn't do so because they couldn't work but that is pretty close to the truth. They did so because they just couldn't find a job. It may be that my perspective is skewed and my experience is far from the majority of cases but honestly I think it is probably your case that is the exception.
All respect dude and I hope things work out for you. It certainly sounds like your situation is what the benefit is intended for.
Disability is the new welfare. It is another place we hide true unemployment numbers. In a time where every business has to be handicapped accessible and when most of us that earn a good living do so by basically sitting on our arse all day in front of a monitor, the term "permanently disabled" with the possible exceptions of quadriplegics and such strikes me as pretty ridiculous.
I'm sure everyone agrees that abuse or stalking is a problem but the biggest concern for me on social media is the tendency to get very offended by a one-off comment someone makes then proceed to ruin their lives. These spontaneous mobs fueled by righteous indignation are much scarrier to me than spam from some bully.
These days it is patronizing but back then I imagine it was fairly remarkable but, maybe not. Looking into this, many of the "computers" back then were women. What I do find slightly offensive is the notion that she was "black". The woman appears more caucasian than african but our society treats anyone with even a smattering of african blood as "black". This strikes me as deeply racist.
Linux binary compatibility? So wait, this means I should be able to take a random simple binary without a lot of dependencies, scp it (yay) to my Windows box and run it?
It only makes sense to use female voices. Women are generally better suited to roles where it is important to feel empathized with and not threatened. Think about it this way, a woman can see that you are tense and give your shoulders a rub and you don't see it as necessarily sexual or intrusive. If your male coworker does this, regardless of if you are a man or a woman, it is shit just got weird.
This is only an issue for people that want to pretend that there is no difference between men and women.
A big part of the problem with public education is people getting degrees in "education". This isn't necessarily the teacher's fault since from what I understand it is a requirement but you have no business teaching a subject if you are not an authority of some sort on the subject. A math teacher should have a strong background and love of mathematics... not "education" or "early childhood development". Same for English, Biology, Chemistry, Rhetoric etc.
I had a collegue that is black in the tech field that moved to Canada. He and his kids were very dark skinned and when I expressed a half serious concern about him moving to a northern latitude and vitamin d deficiency he laughed it off. Still, I think it is strange that someone with a dark skin tone would move north given how much vitamin d from sunlight seems to impact cardiovascular health, bone density and all that. It makes me wonder what the health impacts on those immigrant communities are and the long-term viability for those physical traits in those environments given the limited time modern people already spend outdoors.
That is like saying a politician that wants to close tax loopholes is being disingenuous because they take advantage of them every year in their tax returns. It makes perfect sense that Trump as a business man might choose to hire foreign workers for a position but as a public policy, believe that American's should be given priority over H1Bs.
Take me for example. I have a small farm but am against almost all farm subsidies. There is no contradiction there -of course I take advantage of them while they are around. It would be foolish not to.
I'm pretty sure if I did this there would be even money on me being charged with something. Now, personally I'm all for this sort of thing but there is no way in hell I'd attach my dev account to it with the risk of being labled a hacker and raided by some agency or other. Was this guy somehow already affiliated with Valve beyond having a dev account?
Data crunching is awesome and I'm all for looking for these patterns but they predicting a change in the odds from 1-6 to 1-4 "that a heat wave would strike somewhere in the eastern U.S. during a given week" betwen June and August.. I'm not sure how useful this is.
Personally I'd rather have the build of a plains indian that lived their lives chasing buffalo herds than one of those stunted Egyptian peasants. To be fair though the historically small stature of those following vegetarian diets is probably due to being generally nutrient defficient since not eating meat correlated to poverty. I don't really understand how we can seriously say we're adapted to be vegetarians though. It has been a realtively short period of time in which we've had access to dairy, eggs and such. Cut those sources of nutrition out of a vegetarian culture's diet and I don't think they'd stay healthy for long.
Eh, half the loss was probably Starz pulling out. It is probably more closely related to the fact that other content providers are coming online and many of the content creators have ties to them so no more selling your content to Netflix for a super reasonable price. Netflix's long-term strategy is going to be original content anyway. Even now if you ask people what they have watched that they enjoyed most on Netflix it is likely to be the original content.
IF it is man made, we may have an opportunity to fix it and we should start now because this is literally the only planet we have to support our life. The other case doesn't really matter, we're boned no matter what we do
Just to play devil's advocate (because that's more fun) if it isn't man made then the models are wrong and there is nothing to worry about.

Florida schools average between 6-7k a year cost per student and Orange county has like 400k students? 18k probably isn't a big deal for them.

Well, it would be pretty cool to populate the arctic and I suppose the increase in ocean would be a boon for marine life..

You might have been better off to buy stock in Oxitec if this current situation was your motivation.

Fox News is a lot of things but racist isn't one of them.

This makes me wonder what Windows could be say 10 years from now... Windows 10 BSD with GNU userland?

I've often wondered if it would be better for us to simply annex mexico.

I'd be more interested in a distro maintianed by AMD that would assure me their infinitely more frustrating drivers work without a hitch.
