Anything that passes with unanimous support is generally about as good for the public as the DMCA and the PATRIOT ACT. Hey, guess who introduced the Sonny Bono Copyright Act to Congress (wherein it passed through the Senate unanimously)? It was Orrin Hatch...
The 'Average' category was criticized by some of the authors for being 'weak', as it's the largest cluster yet not particularly descriptive. It has yet to be proven that these 4 categories actually correlate with anything important, although follow-up research is checking if Role Models have greater career success. Also, these are just clusters, individuals can fall outside of these combinations. One bright spot is that the clusters were named after they were found, rather than before, so they weren't trying to hammer data to fit preconceptions of personality types.
The only people who watch broadcast nowadays are those who don't have cable or satellite. Or want to watch the local news. Viewership is really high on broadcast channels, relatively, but their content is low-effort crap. I haven't watched a broadcast show since Lost ended. They seem to be targeting people who can't afford cable or satellite, and thus know they can produce the cheapest content possible and don't need to compete with those services. Once the switch to ATSC 3.0 happens, and a new round of converter boxes are required (there's no planned subsidy for them, unlike the last time), lots of people are just going to drop broadcast entirely.
Another way of looking at it is that broadcast networks are like the Hallmark Channel: they're stuck in a morass of vapid family-friendly content, and can't do anything controversial, which is where all the awards are going.
Concerns in this area have manifested themselves in controversies relating to skin betting, loot boxes, social casino gaming and the use of gambling themed content within video games available to children.
There's nothing special about children when it comes to gambling. It's not like adults aren't affected by the same psychological mechanisms. Knowing that something is addictive, and being wiser, doesn't make it less addictive. There's no reason to bring children into the conversation, gambling is just as manipulative of adults.
Indeed, it'd need enough additional fuel onboard to do that maneuver. However, if it was holding onto 1km/s delta-V anyways for a powered descent to Earth, then it'd already be there, and thus no additional fuel launch costs.
So they could put a refueling tank (perhaps with attached lander) in lunar orbit, and for a low, low additional in-flight purchase, you can choose (once there) to add a landing to your itinerary. I'm sure lots of people who intended for a flyby would decide to splurge on the landing once the Moon is... right... there...
Finishing engineering, building a factory, and bringing a car to market in only 2 years seems overly optimistic, as well. By then the Tesla Roadster 2020 will be out.
In other news, Android users are mysteriously finding their Location Services and Google history settings turned to the 'on' position, even if they had previously manually turned them off./s
It is the same team, led by Hideki Tanimura, and the same technique. Presumably it just took a year to publish the paper, and then Slashdot covered it again even though it's not new information.
Indeed. My mom uses an Alexa app that lets her ask for a recipe for X, and it'll say recipes for that. Very convenient if your hands aren't clean. I agree that places like Whole Foods are encouraging people who can afford it to eat more at home. There are higher-quality prepared mixes nowadays that you can just throw in a skillet, heat, and eat. That said, brick and mortar retail sales are also going down steadily, so that raises the question of where people are buying their food (maybe grocery stores are bucking the trend?).
Back during the Great Recession, I recall a survey that asked people what they'd cut back on in order to make ends meet. Right at the top of the list, people said they'd eat out less at restaurants. People are feeling the squeeze economically, so fewer people are eating out.
'You walked in front of the screen and a 10-year-old in Wyoming shot me dead so now I'm taking the house'
Pretty sure it's more like "you spend more time yelling racial slurs at 10 year olds than acknowledging that your spouse exists." Fortnite could be Madden, Call of Duty, et cetera. They were called 'Everquest widows' back in the day.
If he's making $1300 every week he'd have no trouble getting a credit card. I've seen many people on food stamps who have 2-5 credit cards, I'm sure he could get one unless he's going thru bankruptcy proceedings. Businesses have lines of credit to cover this exact scenario of temporary cash flow problems.
"We still can't access the money.... We're in a situation where for a lot of us we have bills every day, we pay tolls every day, we pay gas every single day."
Aside from gas and tolls, what 'bill' would he pay daily? Also, there's this new invention called a 'credit card' that can smooth over temporary lack of access to cash.
The implications to Determinism should be interesting; it could either put a huge hole in the concept, OR provide an explanation for the 'uncaused causer' aside from the traditional solution of 'God did it'.
Moreover, I'm REALLY wondering why this effect was never previously noticed in transistor logic; it should apply to electron signals, not just photon polarity. I wonder if it could be utilized for some kind of quantum-scale out-of-order execution.
Summary contradicts you. There were measurable improvements to their lives. Promises of future money can be used to obtain transportation away from the ones stealing your money; or bodyguards to protect you from them. Digital wallets can be used to prevent graft, rather than sending paper bills.
This reminds me of how it was found that when poor Africans were given mosquito netting to help combat malaria, the netting was was used as fish nets instead. Presumably they wanted fish to eat/sell more than they wanted to avoid malaria, which is probably reasonable if they were undernourished. If cash were given to them, they'd have bought (more effective) fish nets in the first place instead of mosquito nets.
Indeed. An FDA safety study comparable to those done on pharmaceuticals should be required for food/beverage containers and their interior coatings. Banning an individual chemical years after someone gets around to doing a study on its effects is just whac-a-mole; it shouldn't be used unless it's already proven safe.
The turnstile was technically unnecessary since thieves would just hop it anyway. Presumably a stolen phone wouldn't help much since it'd be locked and you'd need to unlock it and go into the app, and the phone you're about to steal might not have the app installed. I'm skeptical the attendant will be of any use, since there's already a standard technique for dealing with that: have an accomplice tie them up with customer service questions. I'm really wondering what happens if you pick something up and hand it to another person. Who gets charged for the item? If it's the person who picks it up, then that opens up "can you lift/reach this thing for me? I'm short/have a bad back/etc." problems/scams.

The iPhone Xs notched 11,420
I see what you did there.

Unless the Van Allen belts sterilize all of a woman's eggs. We've never sent a woman to the moon so the fertility effects are as-yet unproven.

They swore a solemn Oath to the people, that their Yahoos in IT will spend the rest of their days hand-hashing Dogecoins for all affected.

I used to get emails meant for a 'Mrs. HRC', but deleted them all because they appeared to be marked as Classified. Wonder what that was all about.

Wonder if it was Satoshi. If he's really Japanese.
Wasn't the first private passenger to the moon supposed to be on a SLS mission?

They had to make room for the notch.
