Did you even bother reading these studies before you posted to my reply
Not only did I read it. We discussed all of them at length of Slashdot with plenty more references if you ever feel to look something up. But given you didn't even read the first line of TFS on this story before posting your nonsense I know you won't.
You sound exactly like all those people who claimed smoking was healthy when studies came out saying it wasn't.
Modern devices utilize a much lower range of nicotine from 0-6mg/ml.
Errr modern devices don't "utilize" anything. Users chose what to inhale, they have since the infancy of vaping. That was one of the founding features.
If you go to Vapeclub.co.uk you have a choice of some 300 flavours with 20mg, over 20% of all of the product ranges on sale.
That's unkind. Donald Trump outright lies, where as I have no reason not to believe the CBS spokesman saying they have a record number of signups. They have doubled the number from 1 to 2.
Everyone else gets it through Netflix, presumably with surround sound.
Wow. I was wondering what the OP was talking about because Netflix is almost considered universally better in the USA than anywhere else.... Time to update my assumptions.
Something I noticed - pork in my birth country, Australia, is already low fat, due to selective breeding.
Pork in your birth country is low fat due to selective cutting. You go buy "bacon" in the shops you will end up with a large cut of the loin and middle. You go buy bacon elsewhere you'll end up with the bits that we cut off:-)
As an American you wouldn't. You eat the parts of the bacon that much of the civilised world cuts off.;-)
No seriously though, the UK and colonies tend to eat cuts of bacon with the loin and back, whereas in America and continental Europe they tend to go for the streaky cut. There is far less fat in the loin and it is (in my opinion) more delicious.
Now that anecdote aside, the UK and colonies and eastern Europe tend to also prefer to roast the neck and tenderloins which are also very low fat, but they can't hold a candle to a decent German roasted porkbelly or pork knuckle.
So did I until I had a warranty claim. To be fair I am not in the USA, but since Newegg specifically services and caters for other countries in the local currency and language, one would expect them to offer local warranty services as well. None of this 1 year standard - *in size 2 font* unless you're not in the USA then it's 6 weeks, even for server parts.Their customer service was completely unhelpful directing me to worthless claim forms which ended up in an endless loop of saying that the product wasn't covered by warranty. Finally they gave me an email address for the vendor which was responded by "These contact details are only for use for RMAs in India, please contact the seller for your correct contact details".
Kudos to ASRock America though who from the get go provided technical support despite not being in their jurisdiction and then when it came time facilitated the creation of an RMA that I could use internationally.
No your conclusion is non-sequitur. The story is about people switching to cigarettes. A typical cigarette is equivalent in nicotine to somewhere between the 12mg/mL and 18mg/mL vaping varieties. If we follow your logic then cigarette smokers would be switching en mass to vaping to get more of a hit.
This is nothing more than the anti cigarette brigade getting their panties in a wad over the fact that people flat out love nicotine and want to enjoy it without the bad effects of cigarettes (which are bad).
If that's what you think then maybe you should actually read the article... or the summary.
Better the young'ins be vaping rather than smoke cigarettes.
And if that is where it stopped we wouldn't be commenting on this story.
No. You're right, fulfillment is important. That's why my wife is comfortable teaching, because I out earn her 4:1 she can "afford" to live on a teacher's salary.
Fulfillment doesn't pay a mortgage. Teaching in the USA doesn't either.
So you're agreeing with me then. Google wants people to use it's browser to track their usage and not being a slow hog is part of that. You were born with a penis and a brain. If you want to succeed in life then you need to use the latter too.
LG only manufactures it. It is a google phone otherwise. That's like blaming Samsung for the IPhone.
You're right. Read TFA for links to examples of similar complaints with other LG phones. For YOUR information, LG may make excellent screens overall but they are have an incredible amount of lemon panels coming off their production line. You should touch wood now that you have some of their better quality products. Certainly Apple didn't when they had to repair and change suppliers for a large set of MacBook Pros with LG panels. Apple didn't when they had to halt production of their 5K display due to QC issues with the LG panel. Even after release they never quite resolved the issue which is one of the reasons why it has a very average 2.5 star rating on most review sites. My most recent Asus model with an LG panel is starting to suffer from backlight unevenness issues after only 1 year. The HP laptop I have with an LG display has craptacular backlight bleeding bad enough that I would send it back if it weren't a work laptop.
AMOLED has burn ins.
Yeah after 7 years, not after 7 days.
Samsung cheats by moving the pixels around and doing dithering and flickering
So burnin is something only that Samsung's applications do? That's interesting to note. In the mean time every other program doesn't move pixels around, and the AMOLED displays are widely regarded for their quality which among other things includes no dithering. As for the flickering... you must be tired and blinking too much. Not a single AMOLED screen has visibly flickered in all the ones I've sever seen going right back to their first generation.
I don't feel very cheated to not have a problem with my phone after 7 DAYS!
It did nothing of the sort. Adoption by other OSes started AFTER the source was closed.
not the least of which was macOS
MacOS didn't adopt it for the same reason the Linux mainline kernel didn't adopt it, licensing. The license for ZFS predate's Oracle's acquisition.
then why oh why does MacZFS/OpenZFS still have SO many fairly serious bugs
Because some people are too stupid to know the difference between a bug in a code port and a feature complete project on another platform. As for "fairly serious", OpenZFS has been stable and been used in enterprise applications for over 4 years now. The vast majority of the "bugs" on the OpenZFS tracker are management based pull requests along with minor annoyances at best.
I didn't say bank. I said it's been a while since I've paid that much for anything. There are many alternative to banks that are far cheaper and don't have the insane rigmarole involved with cryptocurrencies.
It is so painless
You sound like you've done this before. Compared to using traditional brokerage services for the first time, using bitcoin has an incredible learning curve.
UAC warnings are pretty much non-existent in Windows 10. Everything requires manually setting permissions through a control panel. There's no more simply "click yes to screw yourself" button.
As for privileges, this isn't about ACLs on the filesystem. Think of it like a virus scanner. The virus scanner doesn't care if you try to execute something as Administrator, it still gets in there first. Only rather than looking for viruses in this case it looks at which process is trying to access the disk and blocks if need be.
Most normal users will access their documents with a limit of: explorer.exe, word.exe, excel.exe, powerpoint.exe, and some image editor. That covers 90% of users out there.
My opinion would have been a heck of a lot more useful for Microsoft to roll out a versioning file system.
They did that with Windows XP SP2. However it would be far from useful for every change to increase the amount of disk space used.
NTFS + Volume Shadow Copy, ZFS, btrfs, they all have one thing in common here, I disable the versioning on all of them. Backups are for backups, clouds are for clouds, git is for versioning, snapshotting / versioning filesystems are for wasting diskspace as quickly as humanly possible.
So the issue now becomes a question of how ransomware authors write ransomware in something like Flash or Chrome, which the average user would always enable.
Err why? No really think about that. What usage scenario would Flash or Chrome have that requires writing to e.g. Documents directory?
It seems like they haven't fixed the fundamental, underlying problem of users running untrusted code
No one has. It's kind of fundamental to the operation of the computer that the user has the ability to a) run code, and b) have that code access files with their permissions.
Windows has taught them to think there's something "wrong" with their computer if JavaScript is disabled.
And there would be. One should not disable the scripting languages that render webpages, but rather sandbox them into places they become harmless. We want to do more with our computers, not less.
The irony of this is that the NTFS filesystem has had fine-grained permissions for 2 decades, but Windows never exploited it until now
Windows has exploited all the permissions since they first came out, the user defaults were just sensible enough that users never changed them. They are not unlike the Linux default permissions. Furthermore what is happening here has nothing at all to do with the filesystem or NTFS permissions. And speaking of Linux....
Why does Microsoft always get the usage model wrong?
How so? What they effectively have now is a copy of Unix permissions with SELinux bolted on top.
Banks will charge 5% or more to convert your money from one currency to another and wire transfers are a pain and usually cost $10. Other money transfers often come with 1 or 2% fees and banks in some countries are corrupt and incompetent
It's been a while since I've paid 5% to convert anything and there are many alternative services for transferring and converting money that don't rely on the absolute garbage that is trying to use bitcoin. Speaking of transferring, what do you think the exchanges that actually convert your money to coins run on? Good will and altruism?
As for transfers costing money, only in some countries. I can't remember the last time I paid anything to transfer money to someone (ebay Paypal purchases excluded).

obvious hogwash
Most people said the same thing about the first studies that said Cigarettes are unhealthy.
News flash: doing new things to your body not previously extensively studied may have unintended consequences.

This study showed its the other way around.
Vaping by itself is completely harmless with nicotine being on par with caffeine in terms of harm and effects.
No
it's
not

And if that is where it stopped we wouldn't be commenting on this story.
And? That doesn't mean that a person will go out and seek other sources of it when they already have a steady supply.
No. You're right, fulfillment is important. That's why my wife is comfortable teaching, because I out earn her 4:1 she can "afford" to live on a teacher's salary.

The article is talking about burn-in after 7 days of usage. This isn't so much a technology issue as it is LG having absolutely horrid OLED panels.
Actually you'll notice that the new device is slightly blued (done on purpose). :-)

Substitute "technology" for physical and unique coins. Has anything changed? No.
also why is anyone listening to one of the biggest criminals in history
This is anti-intellectualism. One of the biggest criminals in history certainly qualifies as an "expert in the field".
