I don't know, when I was house shopping int he early 2000's, it was pretty clear that lower rates caused massive price increases (95-2000 era), rents remain stable (or more tied to income), as lone as incomes remain steady, houses are somewhat protected from price drops (which is why it took other economic drag to trigger the '08 crash) by virtue of peoples' payments still matching rents, and the cost to leave gets high.
Housing prices loosely match the amount of house you can buy with rent *.8 on a 10% down mortgage (if they go below that investors rent them, if they go higher, landlords sell them and increase supply).
I don't know how it effects things, and I have read that there are longer term effects of body response to regularly receiving artificial sweeteners, but I can readily process the taste difference, I have no reason to assume I cannot subconsciously too. I'm not reading the study, just pointing out that to really demonstrate what you're stating, it'd definitely need to use fake sweeteners.
Though this runs counter your comment about dialect, if literacy is a real problem, text to speach software would solve the issu. Perhaps making the phone more, not less, important.
I used it with my friends I chatted with. It was easy to add a photo from picassa.It integrated into thesame place I checked my email. It was fantastic. It tookthe cruft out of Facebook like Facebook did to MySpace. I suspect it could have grown and integrated more, and people would have been happy. It wouldn't have been huge, but probably could have succeeded.
I think wave would have worked if instead of being super real time, it acted more like forum threads you emailed, we tried to use it like thay, but not searching from gmail, and showing half finished thoughts, were deal breakers.
That weakens security. It means the computer needs to store the secret in a readable way, and once readthe secret is known, and the time and hashing simply obscures the sending over the wire. Since the hash is not a shared secret, no extra security is proviDed. Best to have the secret hashed in a non readable way.
Also, they mention the shopping aggrigator, and the flight listing. Google's flight search is so far superior to any other site, that I don't even cross check prices. I'm very happy they popped that up randomly one time for me.
When I see their shopping search I see plenty of sites. I went to Google to use Google. I don't want to see another companies flight results, or shopping results.
I can't tell if you're serious or not. Any men I know that went to school for nursing are doing quite well (same is true for women simikarly dedicated).
As for elementary education, men are pretty much garenteed jobs, and there's bonuses to be had at private institutions.
In education it is an explicit attempt to right the past.
I'm in Delaware for context, I understand that things vary.
Four companies appears to be enough to cause some competition, enough to have dramatic impact.
I'm not a free market extremist by any means, and obviously the competition in cellular is week, but way better than wired internet (where my options have been one since 3mbps dsl hasn't been enough).
My argument is really we have a stark example of limited competition (falling prices, massive inprovement, and yes, I only use ten to eleven gB on my alleged uncapped plan, vs no competition (no price drop, increase even if I want tv, mild improvement. It becomes very obvious there's a need to do somethibg, even without the context of the rest of the world.
My home is 30/6 20ms (recent increase) My phone is 60/20 50Ms (also recent boost).
Was 20/6 and 40/20 pretty recebully. I pay $40 at home, $100 on phone (also get minutes and texts), use 10 ish gb on the phone no trouble, but way more at home I'm sure.
Last I checked, Comcast was close to $100 for 50/25 around here.
Things are so bad with out competition, that wireless availability went from 50kbps to 60mbps in the same time cable went 6mbps to 50mbps.
Pretty strong evidence that competition works, and cable companies suck.
You're paying so that there's a sunk cost if you quit. That's my take away from the summary (how I read the evidence that most people quit MOOCs that are free).
I'd like to see a quit rate for ones that have a fee (not a huge one, but say a few hundred), and actually count for something concrete.
The upside of a college class in today's society is more than just knowledge, and the downside for quiting is wasted thousands of dollars. With that in mind, college classes (and college in general) have a huge quit rate.
I think my vague point was that the free radio offered by Spotify is (usually) better than playing from my (or another's) music collection. The free Spotify radio eliminates the need to buy any music, because it's better than the music one would select and buy on their own.
Unlike radio, which was a way to advertise music to buy, I regularly see Spotify (and even Pandora with it's limited selection) as a substitute for ever needing to buy music, far more often than radio acted that way.
This is leaving aside the fact that Spotify allows for custom playlists, and not just radio from a desktop (for free).
I think really, what the labels should eliminate, if they're that concerned, is the free playlist organization on desktops though, most people I know are still unlikely to stream too much music on mobile due to bandwidth limits (the caching feature helps with this though).
Spotify, even the free version, eliminates the need for a music collection, as it's better than radio, and knows about artists I don't know about, and when picking a specific song I like to base a station on, it does an amazing job of throwing together a playlist.
Having said all that, I subscribe, first to Spotify, to use it in my car, and then to Google Play, because I can side load what it is missing (mostly local bands from my youth).
Which isn't to say that you're entirely wrong, only that the shift for the typical decent person to get so animalistic makes them incapable of bad behavior because of other effects.
And some people are probably more inherently against "bad" actions than others. I'm sure that there's plenty of people that need their higher brain to over ride a feeling of disgust for certain things, that others need their higher brain to prevent (violence being an example of something that can be justified, but some people find absolutely repulsive, and others love), it takes all ttpea. (Literally, for the long term survival of a gene pool)
I've been in plenty of rooms of drunken people. The only two times there were violence were the type of asshole that were prone to violence anyway. Angry drunks are usually angry sobers.
Radio stations based on a song are often superior to my collection. At work it's all we use now, yeah yeah, anecdote.
Radio stations that play what we want are better than Dj ing from our own collection, and way better than the radio.
I was converted to a paying customer to get specific songs when I wanted too though. I think that what they really should attack though is custom playlists on the desktop (to maximize revenue, as a happy paying customer, I just hope they don't kill the concept of music subscription, I don't know how I'd discover new music without one).
That's actually not a terrible point, but would be even better handled with a smartwatch I'd think.
Also, some of us like to know how much longer we'll be waiting, or at work, or etc. While truly not needing to worry about time would be excellent, if I'm just chilling at home, and am meeting someone at 8, I may want to know if I have time to vacuum before I start getting ready or not, I don't see how notifications could tell me that.
But it is so nice not giving a fuck. I carry a purse, and nobody gives me shit about it, because old, and I'm not really even that old at all. I really like that part of life, we're all the cool kids now, we can all do us and nobody really cares.

If the implication is that we should have metal backed currencies, I think this addresses the issue there:

You're assuming they taste the same, they don't.

All work companies do is tax exempt.
Essentially every penny a company spends is a tax deduction, charitable or not, they are only taxed on their profit.

Awww shit, quote was supposed to include the and that's not the worst part bit.
I knew a girl in university who was taking psychology.
Thank you for making something worth reading on Slashdot, even on April first. That SHOULD NOT be an undergrad.

It appears to be working. Globalization means that most Americans are on the losing side.
Yes, it's usually in places that still have the single boiler system here too.
Usually they keep it to a cool but livable temperature for free, and you can spot heat with electric heaters as needed.
It's a deal I'd happily take.
OK, a lot of the converted houses here (Wilmington, DE, USA) have a single central heating system from before the splitting of the units.
There is a "livable" range they have to keep it to I believe. I assumed urban rentals were frequently like that (lacking individual thermostats).
I think they regulate the appropriate temp in rentals, where often units don't pay or have individual control.
hmmm, sleep is good...

Of course it's hurting sales.
