That's just the nature of it and Apple, being ONLY 55% white and 60% male has done something remarkable with their diversity.
I think those numbers are skewed because of all of the retail locations that Apple manages. All of the people working there are considered to be Apple employees. Any time I've been in one of those stores there are definitely several women working there, but those jobs aren't the same kinds of jobs that Google or Facebook have when they talk about how the overwhelming majority of their workforces are men. Apple still said that 80% of their technology-related jobs are filled by men, which is in line with your own experience.
I'm not sure what the point us, but yeah, that's right. Your option is to be recorded on the phone. I haven't heard about any laws that require companies to provide phone support that is not recorded.
It looks like one of the acceptable means of notifying parties of recording is to play an audible beep at regular intervals. I'm not sure I would associate that with recording, but apparently (some of) the courts do.
For instance, if someone in a "one party notice" receives a phone call from someone in a "two party notice" state, and has an app on their phone that automatically records all calls... what happens? Which set of laws apply?
Depends where the court is where you're being sued, and whether they want to apply the laws of the other state.
Does it change if the "one party notice" person is the one originating the call?
It seems to matter more based on the state in which the harm was done to the person suing you.
Does it matter if the person knows the laws of the other state?
Does it ever?
Does it matter if the person doesn't even know which state he's calling?
What do you think the court would say?
There's a reason why companies start their calls with "this call might be recorded" without bothering to check which state you're in first. It's the prudent thing to do. If you are in doubt, and you're trying to limit your legal liability, then notify the other person.
If they notify you that the call is being recorded then that's all they have to do. If you don't consent then hang up, that's the purpose of the notification.
I can recommend the movie. There isn't a ton of footage of exotic sea life, but it's a good story about the process that ultimately brought him to the point in his life where he's diving the Mariana Trench (it talks about The Abyss, his Titanic dives, and also a dive to the Bismarck that I didn't realize he did). The footage of the actual dives is pretty amazing too, he didn't mention it in the interview but they had a separate unmanned "lander" camera platform, and the end result was that they had exterior footage of his sub descending, on the bottom, and ascending. I kept wondering how they were getting those shots until he introduced the lander. He seems genuinely excited to be an explorer rather than strictly a film director, and I think a lot of people around here could relate to his wonder about the unknown and science in general. It was a good hour and half.
And, since my friend and I only had 4 other people in the theater keeping us company, it was very roomy.
Given that sleep deprivation contributes to up to 80% of aviation accidents, it's important to better understand why sleep is so difficult in space, the authors say.
Causes range from slipping the surly bonds of earth, to floating weightless around a space station, to being able to look out a window and see the place where nearly every recorded event in human history has happened from a vantage that you would never otherwise get. Everything from showering to eating to pooping to masturbating is new again!
I would probably have to spend at least a month on the space station before the idea of closing my eyes for an extended period sounded like a good use of my time.
It still might have an edge against fighters, at least for the time being. It sounds like the dual radar systems are being installed on larger surface vehicles, but there could always be a smaller version for fighters on the way. Of course, if the fighters are able to receive targeting data from the ships then it wouldn't matter (as long as that targeting data isn't being jammed).
How can you even tell? When I go to view the power usage details it says "Android System" at about 90%, with all of the games and apps I've installed taking up the remaining 10%. I'd love to tell how much power the bluetooth uses, for example, but it's apparently included in "Android System". The native internet browser is also included there. In fact, pretty much anything I'd like to actually test is included in the big bundle.
They obviously don't care about abiding by the basic rules of society so why should the taxpayers have to pay to keep them around?
Yeah, capital punishment for car theft, that's a fantastic idea. How about drunk drivers, they don't care about following society's rules either, right? Might as well kill them for a first offense. Take care of that problem. Jaywalkers should probably be shot and killed also. And if someone lets their grass grow too long and violates a city ordinance, well, might as well take them out too. The same goes for anyone convicted of a speeding offense, if they can't follow the rules then we should just go ahead and kill them.
The entire program is Windows-only (hence my reply to a guy saying that his text editor strategy breaks down on Windows). The ConTEXT project was ultimately sold because the developer was moving to a Linux environment, actually. The community raised over $10k to buy it from him, we got outbid by a d-bag who swooped in at the last minute (easy to do when our donation total was public), he proceeded to do exactly jack shit with the program, and we gave the money to the developer anyway. It's a fast, lightweight text editor for Windows though, with a decent compare tool. It's my tool of choice when I need to open text files that are very large. Note that version 0.98.6 was not released by the new owner, just re-branded. Every downloadable version of ConTEXT was created by Eden Kirin, regardless of what the About menu says.
It hasn't been developed for 6 years, but I still have it installed just for its ability to open text files of several hundred megabytes in seconds. It's great as a lightweight editor for Windows.
I drove from Baltimore to DC and back with a rear tire flat the whole time (a Goodyear Assurance TripleTred, something actually useful), and then put air in it when I noticed it was flat.
You can drive from Baltimore to DC and back without noticing that you have a flat tire?
I've driven over 800 miles across six months on a tire that was completely flat
You never notice the tires when you're getting into or out of a car? What the hell?
I didn't realize it had exploded
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
As far as I can tell, tires just blow up when they feel like it.
How do you know that? I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that you did not inspect the tire to see what kind of condition it was in before it blew, and probably not at any point for months before that.
Active Lane Assist is where the car corrects the steering to keep it in the lane. In the video in the article he looks like he's just going straight, but if you watch the wheel closely it will turn occasionally to keep the car in the lane. The driver never has his hands on the wheel. The Mercedes will use radar to sense and maintain the distance to the vehicle in front (not the best around motorcycles, or when going around turns), and lane assist will keep the car in the lane as well.
The goal of NASA is worthy, but the reality is a little off. The people working for NASA are intelligent and capable, but management is a major issue. Not the management at NASA, the management of NASA. There is no reason that politicians, including the president, should have anything to do with assigning the projects that NASA works on. They should just give them a budget and let NASA manage their goals and spending. I can't imagine how demoralizing it is to spend years working on a project that would ultimately succeed, only to have the project canceled by a politician somewhere. The government only needs to look at a company like SpaceX to figure out that they need to get out of the business of managing what NASA does. Politicians are proving that a privatized space program is far more efficient and effective than a government-run program. That's not the way it needs to be, but that's the way it's going to be if people in Congress and the president keep interfering with what NASA works on and how they work on it. Imagine what would happen if the government gave SpaceX $12 billion dollars to develop a rocket by 2017. The rocket that SpaceX came out with would be able to land on Mars and take off again for Earth. NASA can't even get the thing into orbit on time. That's not the fault of the engineers working for NASA either.
Find some more feathered fossils and conclude that ALL dinosaurs probably had feathers.
It makes a little more sense to conclude something like that when the fossils are very old and of a different lineage than other feathered dinosaurs. The Guardian article does a much better job at explaining the reasoning than the NatGeo article.
They're equally scummy because both of them are willing to sacrifice whatever ethics and morals they claim to have and will buttfuck the public whenever they get a check that is big enough. It doesn't matter who started this, or who continued that, it doesn't really matter who was at the plate when the check came in. Neither of them are willing to stand up to corporations and actually have the integrity to say, sorry, I can't accept that money because I have an ethical problem with it, and I'm also going to tell everyone that you offered it to me. That's why they're equally scummy.
I hope he got a lot of money from the lawsuit. If he didn't, then it sounds like it is mostly due to that pre-existing condition and not the fault of the doctor or equipment.
Your distance vision will be clearer. You may need stronger reading glasses though.
What happens after the 3rd or 4th redo?
I highly doubt that most doctors will perform a 3rd or 4th operation on a patient. The procedure involves removing material. Obviously, there is only so much you can remove before the integrity of the eye is put at risk. That's one of the reasons I didn't get it a second time. I was a perfect candidate initially, but by the time that I needed adjustments came I considered the risks unacceptably high and went back to glasses and contacts. It was really great during the years when I could wake up with perfect vision though, I wish I would have waited the first time until my eyes really stopped changing.
That's what actually happens. They use suction to make your eyeball stick out so they can work on it, and the explanation I got was that you lose vision when that happens because the eye stops getting blood.
I actually fainted during the initial exam, prior to surgery. My doctor was using a little yellow tool to poke my eye, and every time he poked it my vision went blurry and a machine went "BING!" I don't know why, maybe I was just holding my breath, but I went right out. Woke up to my doctor laughing.
The surgery itself was no problem, I was more interested than nervous. I could see the laser getting closer and shooting a purple beam. They sucked my eye out and I could see the vision slowly fade to black as the blood drained, and then watch it return then they were done. It was an interesting experience, I wasn't scared at all by it.
That little yellow thing though, that thing got me. Another in the list of amusing times when I've fainted.
That's what happened to me. I got the surgery when I was around 23 or 24, and yeah I had 20/15 vision for at least a year, but my eyes kept changing. After about 7 years I went back for glasses and to talk about doing the surgery again. I was advised that 7 years between surgeries is risky, because the original cut portion would have healed and they would need to cut it back again. Additionally, the possibility of complications had risen, I had something like a 20% chance of things going wrong like my lens collapsing from being too thin after 2 surgeries, things that would be fairly serious for my vision. 20% is a fairly low chance, but I considered it unacceptably high when dealing with my vision. My doctor also said that, as my eyes are now, I won't need reading glasses when I'm older. I opted to just get contacts and glasses again. I went back for contacts again recently and my eyes had only barely changed from the previous prescription. If I had waited until around 32 or 34 to get it done the first time then it probably would have stuck around a lot longer. It was really great while it lasted though.

She told me she had no one to work with because no guy would go speak to her lol.
Why didn't she go speak to anyone else? Was it everyone else's responsibility to include her, or was it her responsibility to include herself?
