Isn't this what your emergency contact is for? So they can contact your dad or brother and tell them you've dropped off the face of the earth, go to his house to see if he's dead in front of the computer, pantsdown.
I actually know someone this (similar) situation happened to. Guy didn't show up for work and no one could contact him which was out of his character. They send someone to check at his house and find him dead on the floor of a heart attack. Nice guy too.
The right way to think about cryptocurrency coins is as lottery tickets that pay off in a dystopian future where they are used in rogue and failed states, or perhaps in countries where citizens have already lost all semblance of privacy. It is no coincidence that dysfunctional Venezuela is the first issuer of a state-backed cryptocurrency (the "petro").
They are really using Venezuela as an example? Maduro's government created the petro because he's blown all of their foreign currency reserves. It's supposedly backed 1:1 by a barrel of oil, from a specific region in Venezuela officially. Of course, investigations by reporters have found no investment in or increase of oil production facilities in that area. Oh, and the government, which pre-mined all the coins, hasn't released any yet. And the only hard currency the government accepts to purchase petros is the ruble (all the other options are other crypto coins). The whole petro thing was basically a way to get money from Russia while avoiding US sanctions. Oh, and fun fact, Russia has now started flying nuclear-capable Tu-160 bombers into Venezuela. Hmm, couldn't be because the Venezuelan government struck a deal with Russia for power projection in exchange for cash, could it?
I feel like a state actor such as China would have the resources to simply get someone hired into a position at Marriott who could have access to the data.
Waste of an agent for what is probably a one-time breach. Don't need an agent in place unless you want/expect long-term dividends. Plus it's just a waste of resources to train an agent only to set them up with a hotel chain. Developing an asset that already works at Marriott would be easier, but asset development is a long, drawn out process. You have to first identify a likely target, figure out their motivation, and then groom them over a decent period of time, all the while risking discovery by local counterintel agencies and having the asset flipped or the controlling agent burned. Much easier to simply hack in and take what you want. You might get linked to the attack, but it's deniable because there is rarely any definitive proof.
Nobody would give up a $50-$100K guard job for $2K.
Definitely a stupid tax, just like people who buy lottery tickets.
What country do you live in where prison guards are pulling in 6 figures? Maybe the warden, but certainly not your run of the mill guard, even with the mandatory overtime due to the prison being constantly understaffed?
The latest study says standing desks are no better for you than sitting desks.
I'm currently sitting on a floor with 50 other people. all with adjustable height desks. Only one guy is standing.
The next step is to embrace the green revolution and have desks with treadmills and stationary bikes to both give employees exercise and to help power workstations. It'll reduce both employee healthcare and power costs, and larger companies will no longer need to provide gyms on site.
A lot of cultures have mythologies regarding a large, devastating flood covering the world to lend credence to the idea that there was a significant flooding event at some point in human history. Now, whether it was a global event or just one far enough back to affect common ancestors is up for debate.
Were these atheists raised under a Western culture, where they believed that these rights were "God given" rights, and therefore universal? "God given" isn't just an expression. When these rights were being philosophically debated as universal, being atheist would have had you burnt at the stake. There was no such thing as cultural relativism at that time. There was either the truth represented by God, or something that was false, the devil. If something is universal, that means it represent the truth, which means that it stems from God.
This idea of universal rights, pretty much came from the west, and the US and much of the west until maybe the Trump were basically trying to force these rights on other cultures. It was almost like a political crusade to change the world.
"God given" was a turn of phrase meaning "natural" and inherent. It's not something that was granted, it was something that you always had. The men who wrote the Constitution were deists which means that, while they believe a god existed and created this world, beyond that he didn't have much control. Many deists, especially the more hard core ones, were actually accused of being atheists themselves.
The recent Lion Air crash is a perfect example. Beyond the fact that the plane probably wasn't airworthy the MAX 8 also had the MCAS which Boeing seemingly failed to disclose and therefore pilots were never trained on it. Fortunately for the crew and passengers on the Lion Air flight the day before the crew performed a checklist that involved disconnecting the stabs which effectively disabled the MCAS. The crew of the flight that crashed apparently didn't. So even though no one was aware of the system and the pilots weren't trained for it, Boeing is still likely pushing for a "pilot error" designation.
Pilots aren't really there for perfect conditions. Theres already auto land technology, and most commercial passenger flying is nothing more than the pilots programming waypoints and setting an altitude and speed. Pilots are there for when things go wrong, the weather goes bad, or something breaks. That's going to be the hard part to automate.
The Aussies were there with us too. France was there about a decade before us but mucked it up (not that we did much better). And Korea had a crapload of different countries fighting as well.
Not long ago, I read an article about how Cuban police will sometimes stop buses to search for contraband food. Is it endangered species they're after? Nope, extra cans of stuff we can legally get off the shelf for about $1 in our Oppressive, Reactionary, Sexist Hellhole.
A source for that would be very informative as context would really matter here. Are they looking for brands/foods that cannot be regularly found on the island and have therefore been smuggled in? Cuba is still technically under embargo by the US so its access to goods is restricted: did the government put rationing laws into effect (a reasonable measure when goods are scarce, and one the US has taken before as well) and the police are just looking for goods in excess of the rationing law? Or are the police just being oppressive, authoritarian dicks? Your tone says that you want us to infer the latter, while your lack of substantive evidence leads credence towards it actually being one of the former.
Considering the ammount of damage, targetted destruction, and graffiti left behind, it has absolutely nothing to do with labour, or taxation.
Anarchists, extremists, and just plain old fashioned assholes always attach themselves to large protests because it gives them an excuse to break shit.
I'm impressed that capsaicin of any concentration is sufficient to send someone to critical care, let alone a 9 oz leak hospitalizing 24. I realize bears are tough enough that they do things like eat bee hives without concern for the stings, but if you empty this thing at a bear and end up coughing your lungs out on the ground until the bear recovers then I'm not sure what the product is supposed to accomplish apart from giving you some seasoning for the bear's meal.
I've worked air cargo before and had to clean up after part of a shipment of habaneros broke open inside a can(a container used to load cargo on widebody aircraft). Mainly meant picking up the lose habaneros and sticking them back in the boxes. Only a couple had been smashed and by the end I could still feel my eyes watering and my lungs burning. And this was just from the fumes from raw peppers, I can only imagine what the effect would be from concentrated, processes capsaicin.
Practice makes perfect so if you are going to start making improvements over a baseline then I think it would be logical to practice gene editing on something that isn't human and could really be improved. What fits the bill here is dog breeds. For the unaware, pure breed dogs have significant genetic defects because they are inbred which results in the expression of recessive traits. The current trend of buying cute dogs that are a genetic disaster doesn't seem to be receding so they seem like a prime target for genetic editing. When we've learned some important lessons (or succeeded beyond all expectations) then we should use what we learned on humans.
If you think it's a waste then you haven't considered the annual cost of animal surgeries that are a consequence of a small gene pool.
You make a good point. For example golden retrievers are very susceptible to cancer, and the fact that it is a relatively recent development points to a genetic component(from what I understand there was a huge increase beginning in the late 90s and cancer rates are much higher in American golden breeds than European breeds). Perfecting this treatment in goldens could lead to a drastic reduction in hereditary cancers in humans.
The thieves did not sell the stolen tech to a Chinese company, they gave it to the Chinese government.
Most likely they did both. It is highly probably that whatever Chinese company bought the tech is associated with someone high up in either a major city government, the central government, Communist party, or PLA leadership.

So you just need to scale up the F-22 to carry 100 people!
Would still be a cheaper program than the F-35
I wouldn't buy a used hammer. What possible reason could someone have for returning it other than it was defective?
They found their other hammer that they thought they lost in that one drawer in the garage that they didn't check because why would it be in there?

The military and tax cuts for the wealthy are what are drowning us in debt. Not Medicare and social security.
They came up with the "enemy combatant" term to specifically get around the Geneva convention.
Like with the ballooning national debt with his 1% tax cuts: he wont be here.

It spawned remakes and follow-up games, its own movie (don't bother)
Was I the only that actually enjoyed the FPS sequence in the Doom movie? The rest of the movie was "meh" though.

Not what the public school unions taught you ?
No, but this kind of thing is Jack Thompson's wet dream. Authoritarians are going to be authoritarian no matter what their motivation.

In the US some companies got caught bottling tap water and selling it as "spring water".

everyone steals tech, they have done this since the dawn of their 'industrial revolution'.
FTFY. Every country tries to steal tech, both commercial and military.
The thieves did not sell the stolen tech to a Chinese company, they gave it to the Chinese government.
Most likely they did both. It is highly probably that whatever Chinese company bought the tech is associated with someone high up in either a major city government, the central government, Communist party, or PLA leadership.
