I doubt it. The GDPR would protect from most of what oc is saying about it, or would fine the company to the ground. GDPR violations are based on turnover, not profit. So if a ticket seeks for â100 plus â2.50 handling, the fine is based on â102.50, even though â100 is going to the concert venue. There are lots of provision in the GDPR as to what you can collect (typically data that you must have in order to do business with the customer, and no personal data, like religious view, sexual orientation, etc), who that data can be shared with, under what terms the data can be shared (is. Compatible terms to your own T&Cs), etc etc. It's quite strict and comprehensive.
It seems to imply that she is going through the process of refining the Standard Model and Quantum Mechanics in octonion maths, but isn't fully there yet. Some of it is done, but there is more to go. Perhaps once done, predictions will be made. Although it's does already seem to predict that there is nothing beyond the Standard Model, with a magic number being 8.
It's also interesting that the equations could be changed that way. Maybe that works between all of levels.
Here's the Unified Theory of Everything in octonions using x formulae that explain everything.
Now that that's done, we can simplify them into the fewer equations in quaternions.
Now that that's done, we can simply again to fewer equations in complex numbers.
Now we have something that's much easier to understand, but to properly appreciate it and work with it and expand upon it you need to go back to the original octonion. Then resimplify.
Unfortunately I think it's already dumbed down.:-( I think the graphic about half way down does a great job of explaining the 4 systems, though. At least at a basic level.
However, the article is written at a level for most people to gain some understanding. Adding in the exceptions would just needless complicate the article, and take away from the points he's making.
It's because of the environment they are both stored in. Honey is sealed in wax in a hive, and this has no access to air. It does have a natural anti-bacterial agent in it too. No oxygen and no bacteria means it can't spoil.
Jam, when made, is stored in air-tight sterile (boiled, typically) jars, typically while the jam is still very hot (so it can be poured into the jar before it sets). Again, no oxygen, and no bacteria, so it won't spoil.
Leave a jar of jam open out of the fridge and it'll spoil in a few days. Similarly with honey.
Do they comment on the use, or non-use, of anti-bacterial soaps? Various sources say to never use anti-bacterial soap (including Dr House!), but I'm not sure if I've seen a definitive study on it. I tend to use whatever is sold in the shop (which, for liquid soap at least, is likely anti-bacterial).
How many times have you gone on holiday, opened your case, and found you didn't pack your charger? If you were lucky, you packed a spare cable, so all you needed was something with a USB connection and you could charge your phone. At worst, a trip to a shop that sold cables.
Remove cable charging, and now you're needed to buy a full wireless charger. Or visit Starbucks every morning for 2 hours while you slowly sip away at a long-gone-cold coffee.
And then what about those people who still use wired headphones using the adapter that comes in the box... oh yeah, sorry, I forgot that you sell expensive wireless headphones that you want to force people to have to buy also. Silly me.
Copying data to your PC? Or another phone? Getting a charge boost from another phone (like you can [seemingly] on USB-C devices)? In-car adapters? Peripherals?
My last few phones all had wireless charging. I rarely used it. Lately I was even thinking about why this tech is added to phones as it just increases the cost and provides, at least to me, no benefit. I'm not sure I'd like being forced to have to only use wireless charging. Plus you know that they'll change the wireless charging technology in 2 iterations time, making those 2 spare charges you bought when on holidays useless.
At least you can buy another one on your next trip away...
Can I physically turn Alexa off in my room for the duration of my stay (as in, completely powered down)? As far as I'm concerned, it's a privacy invasion in my room, having a device always listening.
I prefer a 16:9 phone over an 18:9 phone. I think the 18:9 (or taller) on a phone is a poor fit, and really want to have phone manufacturers start to bring out 16:9 premium phone. I really really really really really hate the screen on my Samsung S8+, and the only reason I have is because there was no other screen choice available with the phone features I wanted (the Samsung won out because it had a headphone port).
Anyway, I rant -- the question here is relating to 16:9 on a laptop. Personally, I'm happy with a 16:9 screen, so long as screen size is adequate. My last few laptops have had 17" screens, and I wouldn't buy smaller for myself. By work laptop is a 15" screen and I don't see the 16:9 screen as being a problem at all. I have 2x21" 16:9 monitors plugged in to the dock at work, though (so I use all 3 screens), and typically use a 21" 16:10 monitor at home with it. But I always use the laptop screen too, though typically just for reading emails.
Depending on what I'm doing, a bit more height would sometimes be nice (when reading code). Or sometimes more width (when having 2 documents open side-by-side on the same monitor). But on the whole, I've no issues with 16:9. I actually seems a good compromise.
I have a 16:10 monitor at home, and I don't really notice much of a difference from 16:9. 4:3, to me, is unusable these days.
(but I still really really want a 16:9 phone 6" premium phone again)
Like I did, 20 days, plus national holidays. In Ireland that amounts to a legal minimum of 29 days. Other countries vary.
And, as many pointed out, it varies by country, company, and job. But the legal minimum is the same across the EU.
There're also legal limits on hours worked per day and per week, though typical averaged over a number of days or weeks. But, yeah, many laws in place to protect workers.
18:9 doesn't make any sense to me. I generally name to turn the phone sideways when reading stuff because the screen is to narrow. Video doesn't fit the screen properly. Not photos, which are typically 16:9 or 4:3.
I've been using an 18:9 phone for many months and I don't like it. I see no benefit to it (to me, at least), and many reasons to switch back to 16:9.
Their website (https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/CRSRA/licenseHome.html) doesn't appear to say. There's a fine of up to $10,000 for not having it. One would surmise the license is cheap enough (in the hundreds of dollars at most), though. Pittance compared to how much SpaceX make in profit pretty launch. But still not zero.
Those images are not in a high enough resolution to cause any such issues for the military. All you can see is the general outline of the large features. The basically send back a HD image, at best. It's not as of they are sending back images that at 10m per pixel, more like 500m per pixel, or higher still.
This is just NOAA wanting more money, because they can.
Agreed. I bought a Samsung S8+ because it was the best phone available that met most of my wants in a phone. There are 3 things I really don't like about it, though: - rounded corners on the screen - on some apps I lose information. You gain looks and lose functionality. And I don't like the look. Give me 90 degree corners!
- non-flat screen - why? Why can't I have a choice of a flat screen? Why do have to have this 2.5D crappy screen with rolling rounded edges the mess with my eyes at the edges of the screen.
- 18:9 screen -- the phone is too narrow for its height. Any time I pick up my old Nexus 6 I marvel at just how much bigger the screen looks, how much easier stuff is to read, and how my eye prefers the look. 16:9 is much closer to the golden rectangle (16:9 is a ratio of 1.77, 18:9 is a ratio of 2, the golden ratio is 1.618). And it's the ratio of my TV, so TV programs are designed to fit on it better.
No, please! I hate that notch. Stupidest design decision ever, imho.
If you need space for stuff up there, put in a thicker bezel, and leave my screen fully rectangular. (preferably 16:9 too -- I really don't like that 18:9 on my Samsung).
For me, the notch is a major reason to not buy a phone (along with the lack of a headphone connector -- I switched from Google's own phone and bought a Samsung, having used Nexus devices for years, specifically because of the lack of headphone connector).

GDPR
It's because of stuff like this that the GDPR was put in place in the EU. The rest of the world really should follow suit.

If the square is negative you're imagining things. A square root being negative is just reality.

That's probably true for all 4 named systems.

I really can't understand how you can think 10 days is a lot. I get 9 days a year just as national holidays
You guys are screwed over!
FFS! and "because apple did it" isn't a valid response.
Try listening to your customers...
Like, LG brought out a watch that has a fully circular display -- no flat tyre. And then they do this...
Unless you happen to view a lot of images, movies, and websites. Then there is.
What do you use your phone for that you don't see these issues?

In other words NOAA have the ability to make money from space launches without actually providing anything except "their permission"...
