The Portland Metro officials have been saying that they have been bending over backwards (and maybe forwards too) to get Google to start building, but they aren't really getting any traction. I'm wondering if Google did a build out in a few initial cities to prove that they are serious, but now they are just threatening to go into other cities to force the telecoms hand to do their work for them.
The main thing is to keep multiple copies in multiple locations as easily as possible. I have all our important files on one drive at home. This drive is auto cloned each day to a different drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. About once a month I copy the newer files to an external hard drive. I take this drive to a different location where I copy the files to a different drive. That drive is also cloned each day using Carbon Copy Cloner to a different drive. In addition, all the contents of that offsite drive are copied to the cloud using CrashPlan. A separate copy is also copied to the cloud using another data backup site. Everything is pretty much automatic except for putting the files onto the external drive and moving them to the other location via sneakernet. I'm sure I could come up with an automated way to do that as well, but frankly I haven't felt the need to do so in all the years I have been doing this.
Along with the right to make choices, we need to emphasize the obligation to take responsibility for the consequences of those choices. You can choose not to vaccinate, but the consequence is you can't send your child to public school (or ideally to any public location, such as the library, though that would be difficult to enforce; hmm, no library card without an immunization form?). If you are willing to accept that consequence then go ahead and choose not to vaccinate.
Last night my 17 year old daughter comes home and announces that she wants to learn to code. I'm astonished since I have been trying to get her interested in coding for years. I, of course, ask her why. She informs me in excited tones about the Google giving out stickers and bracelets and a website called Made with Code. But especially stickers and bracelets. It would never have occurred to me, but maybe giving out trinkets is a way to get girls interested in coding.
I knew which one was accurate because I experienced the events first hand and I knew that when I read the US papers on the one hand and foreign papers on the other hand, one aligned with what I knew to be true and the other didn't.
This was 20 years ago so I don't know if I could find specific news stories today, but I had been in the middle east and the things the US papers were reporting about the Palestinians were flat out lies. I was frankly astonished. Before this I was naive and believed that newspapers were reputable and reliable.
I once spent six months in a foreign country. Upon returning home I was amazed to read major American newspapers and to see for myself how drastically what they were reporting was different than what was actually going on. I knew what I had experienced first hand, and I knew that what the American papers were reporting was flat out not true. (I still don't know what to make of this since it wasn't just one paper, but all the ones I looked at. I'm no conspiracy nut, but how does that happen?). However, the foreign news such as the BBC was reporting the news accurately. Since then I've not trusted anything reported by American papers, after all, if I know that they were mis-reporting something I knew about, how do I know the truth about things I don't know about first hand? I stick to foreign based news nowadays. Fortunately with the internet that is easy to do.
That's a foolish argument. I could name any number of crimes that affect.01% of people, but if mentioned most people would consider it worth the money to go after the perpetrators. There have already been accounts of people being killed by those stoned, I would therefore classify this as a real and worst crime.
Suspicion of religion by the common man has been traced to their lack of understanding of religion, and that they view religious statements as coming from just another authority figure, equal to a politician or scientist or any talking head nowadays.
This. I remember a story about a group of physicists working at a lab around the 1950s who were talking about particles that are too small for a human to see without access to specialized training and expensive equipment. A janitor came in and after hearing what they were talking about proceeded to inform them that he knew they were all liars. His reasoning was that you can't believe in anything that you can't touch, see, etc. Since these particles they were talking about could not be seen, they did not exist. Of course he could have exercised a bit of faith that the scientist were right, went to school to learn physics, then get a job at a lab that had access to the necessary equipment to find out for himself. Or he could have just believed in the authority of the scientists that they were honest and what they said they had experienced via their experiments was real and true. But, he chose the path of doubt and disbelief.
I'm not sure I'm following. I assume you are using the term Dualist to refer to those who believe that people have both a body and a spirit (I've never heard this term used with this meaning. Is this something new, something you came up with, or something specific to a particular field of study?)
The only thing I can come up with is you are saying something like the following: There is a certain subset of the entire human population who believes that people have both a body and a spirit, there is a certain subset of that group that believes the spirit continues living after death, there is a certain subset of that group that believes that ghosts are a manifestation of spirits of those who have separated from their bodies, therefore this finding will convince those people that they are wrong.
If that is what you are saying, then won't their rebuttal be something like "It may be true that a certain percentage of ghost sightings are caused by something going on in the brain (internal rather than external), but this doesn't prove that all ghost sightings are internal constructs. Therefore, ghosts."?
But the people who strap their butts to someone else's bomb aren't being forced to do so. Surely those who pay $200,000 to do this would be considered to be in control of their own fate. I think the Everest analogy is a good one. It is expensive to climb everest and has a high likelihood of resulting in death, but nobody is forced to do so.
I think every few years is a bit of a stretch. I have a mac from early 2008 that I upgraded to Yosemite (the version of OSX that came out recently) and it works great. This of course depends on your definition of "few". For myself, 6 years is more than a few.
Mists of time? Legendary? Now I feel old. I clearly remember reading his articles. And I clearly remember all the complaints about his articles in the comments. Some things never change.

transliterations? I don't think that word means what you think it means.
If pallets and ice were so revolutionary, just think of the synergy that could be created by combining the two! Pallets of ice!

My 4 year old wants to be a ninja. Thank goodness social conditioning hasn't deterred him from that admirable career choice.

I've changed lanes thousands of times without losing control. Of course I've never tried changing lanes while stoned.
1 is too many. The rate of alcohol deaths has nothing to do with it.

I'm seeing a lot of comments about iOS, smartphones, Android, etc. This article is about the Mac app store (for OSX, NOT iOS).
