The parents ought to go to prison if that happens. If an outbreak causes death or disability, then all of the parents who refused vaccinations should go to prison. That ought put a stop to this BS. Just figure out the total prison sentence for all of the injuries, and divide it equally between all of the parents of unvaccinated children at the same institution. It's not a perfect plan, but I think it would be effective.
I block most everything by default and have gradually learned exactly what scripts to allow in order to access the content I want. It's a little tedious but I'm completely used to it and don't have to think about it. Of course, remembering which sites to temporarily allow googleapis to run on would drive many people nuts.
It's funny that a lot of people who are against regulatory systems, support the free market, and so forth, are all for districting. In a totally laissez faire system, cities ought to dominate, because the way people live in rural areas, especially in the US, is egregiously wasteful compared to city dwelling.
The *only* reason to offer some sort of price promotion later instead of just giving you the discount up front and making you sign a contract (even for three months of service) is so that they can roll the dice on customers signing up after being enticed by the promotion, and then not claiming the promotion. Rebates work the same way.
Partly agreeing with others here have said, I can think of two other reasons. One is to get customer information. The other is to hold money a little longer, so that there is more money available for the company to use.
Everything else is like alms, except for attention instead of money. The amount of vitriol directed at people for putting on a front to get noticed a little bit, is silly, when you consider what really matters in life. It might seem like a geek's pipe-dream, to think that the day will come when people are defined by what they do instead of what they consume. However, the truth is, that this day has already come, and in fact the (tiny) amount of attention we collectively pay to people for how they dress or spend their free time is just a pittance that we put forth to keep the world from being a very very hard place for most people to tolerate. So, I like hipsters a little, but mostly I am just concerned about myself and what I am doing or can do. I would probably espouse some hatred for their ilk conversationally, but I don't really mean it.
I'm still in university, and I might want to do grad work in semiconductors. I hope I don't need special permissions to get a hold of gallium, which is a pretty innocuous material (unless you're an aluminum can).
After all, serifs were inherited from Roman techniques for carving letters into giant stones, not in writing: I doubt Roman sculptors would have added things that seemed to decrease legibility to monuments.
I can think of some analogies between chipping away at stones and pushing pixels. Not the least of which is that I it often seems just about as tedious.
Daario is secretly making friends with the dragons locked in the dungeon. When Daenerys dies (in an unrelated and surprising way), he's going to unleash the dragons and take over.
I have read a good bit about this. I found that server farms have a lot of problems with it, but I think the problems are mostly connected to the limited number of flywheel systems that have been made. I suspect that this will become increasingly viable, even maybe the dominant technology, in coming years. But limited engineering, production, and deployment have not favored flywheels yet. So, right there with ya.
You can get to your job, for a while anyhow. I bicycled to my poverty wage FT night job, all winter last year. 12 miles away. In the rainiest metro area of the contiguous US. I took the bus sometimes, but preferred not too, since the last bus dropped me off an hour early, and I had to wait 2 hours for pickup on Sundays. Overall, it made me wonder how compassionate people are. By the end of it, I had gotten my driver's license and a car that worked for 3 weeks. I lost that job when I could no longer stay away awake at work. I still don't have a car, but I'm a great cyclist!
I think this story, overall, is about people who think they deserve more money than they already earn (the financial institutions that encourage predatory lenders), and people who don't have the time or resources to keep cheap cars working (people who work FT like me).
And if you're really in medical need, ambulances will come pick you up.
Hmm, should I pay $300 to take my daughter to the hospital and subsequently have my car work for another month, or $600 for one ambulance ride? Hmmm....
You just get to decide if you are the random unknown civilian who has a car crash during his morning commute or the famous whistle-blower barricaded in an embassy.
Can't wait for in-brain DRM. "Sorry, you're not allowed to see The Eiffel Tower without paying for a Paris Sightseeing Trip package. Would you like to view options to purchase one today?"

Why didn't they put three crystals in the handle to produce a V-shaped hilt, with the beams all emerging from the same point?

If you live in a small space, maybe bitcoin mining could be a little closer to profitability if it heats your space.

Residential broadband networks were never engineered as video delivery systems.
Damn the cell phone networks for needing to be upgraded to accomodate people who quit using landlines!

It's spelled asinine, which is weird because MW says "from asinus, ... of or like an ass."
Poor people have tons of computers. I help at a soup kitchen. Many have newer smartphones than I do (but I'm not a early adopter).
If you ever took this unseriously, you disrepected the FBI, in a very personal way.
If that's what their low-level circuitry can do, think of what their brains are about.

Everyone I've known who's had solar has had a decent bank of batteries. Shoot, if my neighbors had solar we could go in on them together.

I'm not sure you get to pick.
Then again, Hastings might have died of paranoia.

I.e. if it works on Linux... I can pirate it.
...getting spew from a bunch of guys who think they are super clever.
