I am by no means an apple fan boy, but I think the most important aspect of what Apple did was to disconnect the cell phone from the carrier. It was their way or the highway.
Umm what? You've always been able to get sim free/network free phones direct from the manufacturer or stores, Apple just charge more.
Whatever happened to eating a balanced diet and getting exercise?
Define balanced diet precisely and universally, Einstein.
You aren't a very good source of wisdom if you don't read anything but the headline.
What I don't get is the people that eat 3 full meals a day, go to work and sit down all day then come home to sit down all evening and then wonder why they get fat.
What I don't get is strawman arguments. As a person who has struggled with keeping my weight in line most of my life, what I don't get is people like yourself thinking it's oh so simple. My metabolism doesn't handle carbs well, my lowest adult weight was achieved by running several miles a day, bicycling 25 miles a day, another half hour of weights, and a half hour of other exercises. And around 800 calories a day. That's a guess, because I only ate one meal a day. That got me down to 185, which was considered borderline obese for my height. Incorrect of course, because I had almost no body fat.
So here ya go Einstein - Where was I going to remove more food and get more exercise? I was basically working, or exercising. TV consisted of watching the evening news before bed. Awaiting your calculations.
Couple that with say, my wife who is model thin. She ate roughly what I ate, is about 3 inches taller, her exercise was horseback riding, but she weighs about half what I weighed.
There is all manner of parameters that go into a person's weight. Body structure, metabolism, and the gut bacteria thing is very interesting. Moderate food consumption and sufficient exercise is always indicated, but if there is one thing in likfe I've found about weight it is that most people who think it's really simple are those who don't have much trouble keeping a good weight.
Balanced diet = A good mixture of foods. Meat and 2 veg so to speak. What it isn't is pre-processed crap for every meal. Rule of thumb, if it's cooked in the microwave, it's crap. If it's 20 minutes in the oven to heat, it's crap. It's not hard or expensive to eat reasonably well, it's the people who's fridges are full of ready meals who have the biggest problem.
You may have had issues with weight and sucks to be you, for some people it's more complex. Note I said 'the people who...' implying the ones who do that, not all of them. Can't speak for eveyone but if someone thinks they're too fat, eat less and exercise more. Most people can't be bothered with that though. If that doesn't work look at what you're eating. Some people are just genetically fat and there's really not much they can do about it, most aren't though. Most people don't naturally gain weight, they do it because they take no notice of what or how much they put in their bodies and then they sit around doing fuck all. So there you go Einstein. Doing as much exercise as you said and eating as little as you said you're obviously not one of the eat loads and do nothing types but one of the ones with a genuine issue somewhere. So, what do you want? A sympathetic pat on the belly? There there fatty, it's not your fault it's your genes. Might be true for you but for most it's not.

The quarter of a million price on a medallion smells like a price that opens up for corruption.
You think this is bad? NYC medallions are routinely valued at around $1M each.
And no, ShanghaiBill, the average driver doesn't own their own medallion, at least in NYC. That's owned by a conglomerate and the driver has to rent the taxi, medallion, and everything else from that company.
That sounds like a really bad deal. How are there so many taxi's in New York then? (Note I've never been so all I have is TV telling me the streets are chock full of taxis in NY)
Muslims shouldn't be forced to accept teachings counter to their faith. Nor should Jews or Christians or athiests. It's not about correct or incorrect.
I know this is a day late but, that's exactly what it's about. You can't go around teaching people nonsense as truth because that's what ancient goat herders believed. What gives the christian creation story any credence over any other religions creation story? Absolutely fuck all. What give evolution credence above any creation story? Loads and loads of evidence supporting it.
You can't just let people believe and teach whatever they want with impunity. There has to a point where enough is enough. If you want to try and teach your own kids any kind of crap, tell them the earth was shit out by a giant space badger that feeds on the fifth dimension, then fair enough. But when that unsubstantiated nonsense is getting taught in schools to a group of children that may or may not be part of you space badger cult then correctness and incorrectness is absolutely all that matters. In a subject like history that might a little trickier but scientific things are either correct or they are not, if you think something is wrong you should be able to design an experiment and prove it repeatedly, and if you can't it isn't science. If only the respective religions could keep their 'teachings' in their own church so the rest of could try and make some progress, that would be great.
. The lack of accents in the English world is what's limiting.
Limiting those that rely on them maybe. It doesn't take a great amount of mental dexterity to figure what word is meant, even when they are spelled exactly the same.
"The title is pretty honest: this is early evidence of war."
Maybe it is because English not being my first language but I don't see this as war. War is a long winding use of violence between two parties. A premeditated violent incident between two groups when only one party knows what's going to happen is an ambush; if both of them know it, it's a battle. You usually see ambushes and battles in war times, but neither ambushes nor battles are wars on their own.
English is my first language and I thought the exact same thing.
Out of all the babble does seem to come one gem of an idea.
So, let's lower it to a much lower rate, one that competes with the rest of the world, but at the same time...cut out all the deductions and loopholes. You pay x% on profits after your expenses, period.
Nah, make the tax on pre-expense revenue otherwise expenses will be artificially raised to reduce taxable amount.
Let's all drop everything and listen to what this person on the Internet has to say because this person is obviously smarter than someone who figured out how to apply Quantum Mechanics to a Relativistic problem!
The guy is super smart to be sure but that doesn't mean he's a font of all knowledge. None of his recent 'predictions', that AI might not be the best thing ever etc don't take a genius to realise but because hawking said it some people seem to want to take it as fact.
Keep the footage on file for 2 years, then release it to the general public. Want it before then, file a request.
After 10, the requirement to keep it on file goes away. If someone else wants to archive it, go for it.
Footage get lost? Officer forget to turn on their camera? The information on footage and on the paperwork is public, so if the cops aren't doing their duty, then it becomes a big news item that they are hiding misconduct.
Now that's just way too reasonable and sensible to ever happen.
And that's after identifying the correct 190 hours amongst a much vaster archive of footage.
So you're not expecting any kind of time stamping or organisation of digital files? These aren't like video tapes shoved in box pushed into an overflowing room of boxes of videotapes. It should be fairly trivial for someone to get the footage from officer x at time y on date z.

it just works.
I no longer differentiate between those who are idiots, and those who merely want to seem like idiots.
Who wants to seem like an idiot? Most of the time you can tell the idiots because they want to seem smart.
(inside which, depending on who you ask, the lost tribes of israel and/or the nazis that didn't end up on the moon or in south america, reside).
You denier! It's where the lizard people live. The need to be inside the earth to warm their cold blood, yes that makes sense.

If we had a voucher system in my Bible Belt area, EVERY school would be teaching bible nonsense thereby negating the usefulness of vouchers.
What are these vouchers I keep seeing mentioned?
but it has taken me ages to get used to coding on it.
Why not just have one keyboard for typing German and another for coding?
Question: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris from invasion?
Answer: I don't know.

... tax... which Tim Cooke has said is a driving force for Apple to make their products overseas.
Citation? Because I don't think he ever said that.
I highly doubt they do it for the build quality.
Raise taxes on manufacturing outside the country seems practical!!! How? How on earth would a gov't do that?
Increase import taxes on new manufactured goods?
Are you kidding... for a free blowjob, I'd vote for someone...
Fine, but it's from a toothless badger. Gotta read the small print.
