To help cover the expense, Price cut his own pay from $1.1 million to $70,000. He’s also sold all of his stocks, drained his retirement accounts, and mortgaged two properties to pour $3 million into the company. He’s vowed not to fire employees, raise prices, or cut executive pay further to make it all work.
Once the media attention propping up his numbers dies down this stunt is likely doomed...
Ubuntu around 2004 (warty) was were I began and even though I'd played around quite a bit in years past with Linux, where I finally took the plunge and went with Linux as my only OS. Thinking back on it, it was probably equal parts the community which was great at the time in IRC and the distro. My first experience in IRC in #debian a few years earlier... did not go well.
He wasn't accused of being a "t'rrist" he was accused of intentionally contructing a fake bomb in order to troll the school. At no point did the administration or the police think it was a bomb. GIven that his sister was suspected of previously making fake bomb threats and his father a well known activist who has participated in the past in stunts designed to garner publicity I'd say their response was measured and thought out and possibly correct depending on the kid and his family's true motivations.
You can't reasonably take a population say 90% cultureA and 2% cultureE and then claim that because cultureA constitutes 60% violent incidents that cultureE is being stereotyped unfairly for being involved in 30% of incidents.
This is a personal email account. It shouldn't matter all that much that it was hacked unless he was using it for the people's business when he shouldn't have been. Well, other than the fact that some stoner kid was able to get leverage and personal info on the CIA director.. but if that is the case then we should assume the russians, chinese etc. already had such access.
You're assuming that a militarily strong US hasn't been a source of stabilty for the rest of the world and that without it the number of total causalties would be less the total number you quoted -so any deaths from any US military action are more that would otherwise have occured. Many would argue that a strong US (perhaps demonstrated by the last decade of weakness from the USA and current state or world affairs) generally means good things for the world at large. Personally, I'm not sure where I come out on that. I will say that it is certainly disillusioning given how often people have criticized the US for supporting dictators in the middle east in the 20th century to see what those countries make of themselves without said regimes.
"Potential" or innate ability from what I've seen are directly correlated to home environment / parental involvement. It isn't something you can "fix" in school though very early pre-school might help a bit For example I have someone in my family with 4 kids. He is an extremely smart guy but paid zero attention to the them. Those kids could barely talk at 6 and 7 years old... they just hadn't developed as well as the others in the family. If you come from a disadvantaged family then you will be significantly less likely to do well in life or score well on intelligence tests meaning you are likely less intelligent.
I agree with the op. The only bias here seems to be the reality that poor families are more often subpar environments to grow up in and likely fail to nurture intelligent children by a very statistically significant margin. Seems to me they should probably have chosen someone more intelligent themselves to evaluate the program...
Maybe I'm getting old but yeah.. "eh". The big bottlenecks for me are always RAM and storage IO. I don't really care these days about CPU performance for phones other than for battery numbers. It isn't even like Apple is pushing any sort of cool VR solution that could justify some technolust over CPU specs.
I don't buy that. It is all about putting in a little effort and having a good work ethic. If you have a good work ethic you are more hirable already than 60%-80% of the current work force. There is work for anyone that is willing to do it. Even discarding all corporate jobs, I don't currently pay someone to mow my lawn because to me it isn't worth $30 lost when I can do it myself. If however a person walks up offering to mow the yard for $5-$10 then I will likely pay them. There is always work for people willing to step up.
Though you can probably find anything you want in the bible I'm going to call for a citation. I remember things like: "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat." Personally I might feel morally obligated to grant him a quick death but little else.
Hellman's is probably the most purchased mayo in the US. I just looked up their ingredients and they contain eggs. Even their "light" mayo contains egg yolks.
Sounds like you either need the school at the administrative level to have a policy that students need to have a cheap laptop (not unreasonable) provided by school or parents or you need to let your english students use their pencils and papers. I would think that reasonably legible handwriting would be a good skill to have and if they are going to learn that anywhere it is in english class.
Buy every industry in said town. Give loans to desperate people that you know they can't pay back. Buy up all the politicians and the realestate. Become sheriff because that is where the real local power is. Make subtle changes to the town and architecture giving everything a creepy southern gothic kind of feel. Slowly tighten your grip year after year. Ah, it would be heaven.
That is like saying social media isn't a useful tool to combat abuse by authority because the real solution is for those in authority not to abuse anyone.. I don't find "the real solution is for the problem to not exist" a compelling argument.
Food is primarily the problem. Empty calories that end up making you just want to eat more empty calories are indefensible. Modern food is typically a simple carb or protein (processed chicken breast in some form) with some compounds added back in to make them palatable.
Bear in mind that Phili isn't representative of America. I always cringe when friends fly from overseas into the Phili international airport. They are a loud, angry, rude and inconsiderate lot when compared to most of the rest of the US population.
Russia does targetted killings in other first world countries and we do wetworks in places you wouldn't believe as well. However I still agree that assassinating a high profile US citizen isn't something the the intelligence community or the executive would put in the "good ideas" column.
The problem was that China used a cheaper technology to flood the market, rather than Solyndra not actually producing a viable product
If you don't have a valid business plan then you don't get a loan. At least, that is the way it is supposed to work. If you know you can create a product for 100 dollars that is currently being imported for 20 from china you don't have a viable product.
Trump has plenty of qualities positive and negative but thin skinned isn't one of them. Obama is notoriously thin skinned... everyone has weaknesses this is just one I'd tend to assign to him.
It isn't like we have a good understanding of the mechanism for consciousness or even memory. I'm reminded of the experiments where they train rats to know a maze then start chopping bits of their brain away and no matter which areas the they remove they aren't able to isolate the memory.
I was taught that the naming of Greenland vs Iceland was a contrivance to increase immigration to that particular (less desirable) landmass. A quick google search indicates this is the case and is recorded that way in the Icelandic sagas.

He didn't say "Diseases of Civilization" he said "Diseases of Western Civilization". As in the modern late 20th century American diet.

That principle is also in the bible,
