"thigh" is translated from a word that, elsewhere in the text, clearly refers to reproductive organs. It's an abortion.
The ordeal involves taking a brew prepared by the priests. I suspect we have only half the ritual - the other half was passed from priest to priest, saying which herbs to put in the brew.
Only if you stick with the 'on its own.' The age of viability has been steadily creeping down due to improved medical technology. Given enough time it'll eventually hit zero, when we are able to grow placental mammals in jars.
The bible doesn't say anything about gambling at all. Zip. Empty.
It does restrict the charging of interest on a loan though. It's OT law, and it only applies between believers (Originally Jews, later reinterpreted to include Christians before being abandoned). Charging interest to a nonbeliever is still ok.
There's always a period of explosive population growth - after modern medical, food production and sanitation technology is introduced, but before the culture adapts and lowers birth rate accordingly. The developed nations of the world had their growth spurt, and are now past it. Other countries are still transitioning.
It's not just drives. Drives, enclosures, storage management software, purpose-built packet inspection engines capable of extracting information from a multi-gigabit stream, personnel capable of administering such specialised gear, datacenter floorspace and power, legal personnel capable of monitoring compliance and processing requests. It's all going to add up.
If universal, perfectly reliable contraception were available, perhaps breeding would become something like greatly prolonged jury duty: No-one wants to do it, but someone has to endure the personal inconvenience to keep society running.
Or maybe we'd see a sort of cultural Idiocracy? Natural selection in humans would take a very, very long time - but cultural selection can be potentially much more rapid. If the well-educated liberal couples have 1.0 women per child, and the backwards superstitious hicks have 3.0, then it would only take a few generations - a century or two - for the low-birth-rate culture to disappear.
Conservatives do have a solution for single mothers: Incentivise them to get married. Marriages is a magic cure-all. It boost church attendance, improves education, reduces the crime rate, increases income and improves health. But only if you're straight, of course.
There is exactly one reference to abortion in the bible. It's in Numbers 5, and it details the process for performing an abortion if you believe your wife has been unfaithful.
Maybe there is a bias - and it exists because the two political factions are not mirror images of each other. Perhaps one of them actually does buy into more conspiracy theories, or their publications do peddle more lies? It could be that even if you run a perfectly objective fact-checking filter it'll appear to favor one side over the other, because that side is, in general, more honest?
Those 99p headphones have their uses. They are good for travelling, as you don't have to worry about losing or leaving them behind. They are also popular in schools - because you're going to have a high breakage rate, no point breaking something expensive. And popular with students in schools too, because when the teacher confiscates them for listening to music in class you can avoid the shameful process of getting your parents to reclaim them.
I imagine Apple expects some sort of fee for licensing the lightning standard. Probably not much if you're going to be buying high-end headphones, but it would mean no more £0.99 disposable ones from the supermarket.
There were many replacements. That was the issue. You'd write your data to a CF card, take it to your friend, and discover he had a ZIP drive. The floppy was slow and limited, but it was the one writable media type you could be sure every single computer would be able to read.
Don't forget the non-USB flash media. It would have been nice to have one... but we ended up with PCMCIA, compactflash, multimediacard, memory stick, memory stick duo, memory stick pro duo, secure digital, smartmedia, and whatever that weird thing only Olympus cameras used was. Oh, and that thing that looked a bit like a CF but with staggered pins, and was only ever used by sewing machines.
"Microsoft used to pull stunts like that all the time (probably still do) pushing hardware vendors to support broken versions of standards."
ACPI is a common cause of complaint. Windows has a not-quite-standard ACPI implementation, which all hardware is built to fit. A lot of mainboards (mostly laptops) will crash when probed by a proper, standards-compliant ACPI OS, like linux. Usually because there are certain registers for which Windows simply assumes the default values without querying, and which hardware vendors don't bother to fill with valid data. There's a lot of special handling in the linux kernel for specific laptop models to say 'don't try to probe this, it'll crash.'
Try UK law. We have different terms for books, audio recordings, lyrics, plays, broadcast events, sheet music, databases, films and Peter Pan. All have their own rules.
What you propose would be legally difficult, as it violates several international agreements, but as a hypothetical... what would be the effects on music?
Well, music would still be made. Always has been. We're awash in music now - for every famous artist there are thousands of others who are just as good but never got their lucky break. Most people making music don't do it for the money.
It might spell the end of the super-rich mega-star. Those few elites who have both the business connection and talent to sell so much they can actually grow rich of it. I think the loss of the Biebers might actually be a good thing.
The number of performers making a living off of playing live would be very small. Why hire a band when a sound system can play it cheaper? But the world doesn't owe everyone wannabe musician a career. Reality serves to crush people's dreams quite effectively. Only the best and most famous will be able to get a real gig often enough to make a living, though a lot more people might be in an on-and-off part-time band to make a little extra income. Not as their main job.
Just look at their graph. It's a big, uncorrelated smudge of dots - through which they have drawn a line and announced their conclusion. The data is worthless, the analysis is worthless.

Looks like a good part of his career consists of plotting various things against IQ in search of things that correlate. IQ is a dubious enough metric for intelligence already, and there's no possible way to determine a causal link from that sort of quest for interesting correlations.

There's a big difference. If you trade derivatives, you are betting with other people's money.

I've got aim, Skype, Telegram and Retroshare. That seems to cover everyone between them.
Anyone who only uses Snapchat isn't worth knowing.

A lot of people watch the news for comedy, and comedy for the news.
There's no such thing as a natural right. All rights are invented.

If it was about thickness, they'd just move to a 2.5mm jack. It's not about thickness, it's about control.

Then why not just disable fingerprint recognition and require the user set that up again from scratch, rather than disable the entire phone?
Easy solution for that:
"New fingerprint sensor detected. For security reasons fingerprint identification has been disabled. Please enter your PIN or iTunes account to continue. Fingerprint recognition may be re-configured from settings."
Now everyone is happy. The phone gets repaired, and security cannot be compromised by replacing the sensor.
