The current average fee is $57 USD per transaction.
Nonsense... it's closer to $6 USD per transaction, and that's because of some users' broken wallets sending more fees than necessary --- Low-Fee transactions are going through just fine. Also Due to SegWit; you can transact with a much smaller fee, and the blocksize effectively HAS increased due to SegWit.
Also, Bitcoin no longer has a fixed blocksize limit; it's "Block Weight".
J-value method supported relocation when nine months' or more life expectancy would be lost due to radiation exposure by remaining
The Life Expectancy is a statistical quantity. Reducing the average life expectancy by 8 months doesn't mean there won't be data outliers, or individuals affected with undue severity, E.G. Individuals whom will die much earlier because of the incident.
This is the problem with using life expectancy or other statistical summary averages ---- SOME people still die, and nobody wants that person to be themselves or one of their friends or loved ones; that might be 1 death out of 1000, but it STILL MATTERS to that person and to their community.
How about discriminatively slowing down the internet of not just the FCC, but also the members of congress, and the whitehouse that have ultimate authority or nominated the FCC members.
Tell him because you work for the FCC or or you're a decisionmaker over the FCC: we're only going to provide you 64K (The equivalent of dial-up internet service) until network neutrality protection is restored..
But to your analogy, it isn't putting it up on a big public bulletin board and shoo'ing away.
It's like having a bunch of bulletin boards hidden behind curtains, and when somebody walks by you lift a curtain that corresponds to the bulletin board with ads targeted to that guest's demographics.
In Facebook's case, the technology is such that just anybody CANNOT see those ads.
It seems fairly far-fetched that a seller announces housing available in Facebook Ads only. This is not a conventional way of finding housing..... usually there are listing services that contain such things, and many websites such as Zillow provide a search feature.
Perhaps Facebook could easily address the concern by making ALL ads that are active on their platform searchable, and if you expose an ad by specifically searching Type of ad, then no targeting rules can apply.
It is an immoral act to let a sucker keep his money.
Then how come we have government assistance programs? If it's an immoral act to let a sucker keep their money, then it's EVEN MORE IMMORTAL to have laws that forcibly take money from non-suckers and then reward it to Able-Bodied people who are probably mostly suckers Or are of the same mentality (couldn't even find/plan/execute on a way to earn a decent living.....)
Also, why don't we do the responsible thing and detect the suckers' and re-allocate their money to a good cause? Proposition: Re-Legalize standard internet gambling with a regulated rate of profit; this should draw the ICO "investors" back to gambling , and have essentially a 45% government tax on each bet.
In other words: you bet $1000 on blackjack --- your cumulative total is a $1000 loss, the house starts with $1000, but has to pay the gov't $450 in betting taxes on their winnings from your bets and gets to keep $550.
If you bet $1000 on blackjack and your cumulative winnings across the games are $1000 --- you get $550, because the casino is allowed to withhold your $450 bet tax from winnings, and then you go home and pay income tax on the $550.
There were as much investors as kickstarter backers are VCs.
At least the kickstarter listings aren't the sale of Unregistered Securities like most ICOs are, and with kickstarter there's a certain level of disclosure and professionallism required to get a listing approved, and finally the expected "return" is for a small token prize, Not an implication that buyers will profit in some manner proportionately related to what the management's business results are.
Sorry.... you weren't acting like investors if you bought ICO tokens that don't even represent legal shares of a business with so little information and so little in the way of business documentation and personal guarantees OR audited financials, and you should have been more careful.
That's just a good ol' fashioned scam; let the ICO buyer beware.
What you describe is just a "general" gun to the head that EVERYONE has. That's not a gun to the head to do THIS contract job, specifically.
That's a gun to the head to FIND AND DO a sufficiently-paying job. Well, guess what.... this one isn't sufficiently-paying, so go look for something else.
If he's an adult working full time at the most sophisticated job that he's able to do, he should make enough for food, shelter, and health care
Sophisticated isn't the right word. There are a lot of jobs requiring unskilled/minimally-skilled labor that pay more than flipping burgers, Or where you can get the necessary training at minimal or zero cost ---- the burger flipper role or retail stockboy role are literally jobs for someone who has no marketable skill AND can't make a full-time commitment due to other engagements AND don't have the life experience/employee experience to plan or organize any kind of affairs, because they're a kid in college or something.
The community should withdraw all support from the SFLC, support the SFC solely instead, and distance themselves from any organization continuing to sponsor the SFLC.
Yeah... that's what I figure they will be like TRAINS / Railcars going down the friggin' highway. To get the maximum numerical benefit; transport companies will want convoys as large as possible.
This means you might get a convoy of 300 trucks tightly locked all departing Hub A destined for Hub B at the same time; jamming each entrance to the highway for no less than 20 minutes as they pass by, since all the vehicles have to wait the entire convoy to pass.
Yes, fast acceleration in a semi would be a game changer. Trucks could mix freely with cars in urban metroplexes without blocking traffic.
It sounds like Convoying has huge % benefits to costs, so companies will definitely want to use it and maximize the size of their convoys for greatest efficiency.
Convoying will definitely affect traffic; Think of having to wait for a tightly-locked convoy of 150 trucks to pass in order to merge onto the highway. This causes what in networking what is referred to as Head-of-Line Blocking Your BULK movement lands in the same path across the road network as your desired short transactions (Just get a small car through); Once the CONVOY is going it generates a continuous stream of LONG vehicles that completely fills all the capacity along the path, significantly increasing the amount of time to get that one small car onto the road and greatly increasing latency delays and trip times across individual vehicles (Even though it's definitely more efficient in the aggregate in regards to amount of Stuff being transported down the road).
If you jam the WiFi to disable the camera after you open the door with the one-time key, you're (at a minimum) an EXTREMELY likely suspect
Suppose you're not the delivery person, BUT some criminal who was following the delivery person. You see the delivery person open the door, so you immediately activate your jammer to stop the camera, then you ninja quietly sneak in the door and hide: waiting for the delivery person to drop the boxes off and leave, OR you stick something in the door that will stop the latch from securing, so when the delivery person closes the door and drives off: you have free reign.....
Oh, but what if you were the delivery person? The possibility of this happening provides a potential way to deny having done anything wrong "The camera must have malfunctioned, but I didn't take anything....".
Automatic spell-checkers which can be set to different national varieties are likely to play a part in keeping the two varieties fairly distinct.
In the defense of writers they should just avoid the pretence of localized spellings and simply accept both spellings as valid for those cases where there's a British spelling; both flavours are legit, and they're both English. This is just a case where automatic spell-checkers are harmful.
Like I said. Antivirus software detecting malicious binary software code payloads used for spying and doing exactly what it should do --- submit samples to HQ for analysis --- doesn't matter that the malware executables were confidential NSA materials.
Shutting down these forums in shameful; the cost of running the server aspect of a community-moderated forum site of this size is practically Nil, likely doable for less than $100 a year, otherwise they'd have been turned off long ago.... I can see from some samplings of the the Linux forum that this thing is actually still used, And it looks like a pretty decent Forum system -- likely better than PhpBB bloatware.
Clearly Oath are just being corporate b***trds, otherwise they'd find people in the community to take over the site.
Sorry, but all evidence shown so far seems to indicate Kaspersky software works just fine, Not caused system compromises, AND any case where Kaspersky "exposed" or "leaked" secret files were Kaspersky working like it's supposed to --- not Kaspersky violating any privacy expectations; you just don't get to run "secret" potentially-malicious programs on desktop computers without the possibility of malware samples of your suspicious code going to the AV vendor for analysis.... I can accept that, and I think most people SHOULD accept that with zero objections.
Vogue is not a scientific journal peer-reviewed by scientists, so it's not a scientific theory, and they misuse the word "theory" in general, because the word theory refers to philosophically a contemplative or speculative rationally justifiable understanding ("hypothesis") regarding natural things.
To be scientific; there must be specific predictions arising from the theory that can be proven false in order to invalidate the theory. To be rational, evidence from a logical proof or induction is required, not merely a subjective assertion or belief.
Merely THINKING you are a Guy or a Gal does not make you one, much the same way as THINKING you are Aristotle or an Elephant doesn't make you one --- you must show something tangible for a theory such as "more than two biological sexes".
Nope. If the theory disagrees with experiment, then it is Wrong. It doesn't matter how many voices sign the petition for the theory; it must still be rejected.
mail servers, for instance, eventually wound up migrating to Microsoft Exchange
WTH? E-mail is one of the easiest systems to NOT use any Windows-specific software with --- in fact, the more mature implementations of SMTP and IMAP servers run on Linux and much more robustly, than those pieces of shit called 'Exchange' and 'Outlook'.
"Users were unhappy and software essential for the public sector is mostly only available for Windows," she said. She estimated about half of the 800 or so total programs needed don't run on Linux
Seriously.... 800 "Needed" Windows programs? WTF. I call BS. How about supplying a list. Part of migrating is CHANGING which business apps you will use, to focus more on Web-based solutions, and replace Windows client apps with substitutes that provide the necessary capabilities.
By the way, Linux or OS X should be EASY to adopt on 100% of endpoints, even with specialized software, even if some legacy apps are still required; thanks to Terminal Services or Citrix-based solutions, specialized published apps can execute from a more limited number of machines.
Your idea leads to tariff wars where other countries implement your ideas.
An intellectual property/licensing tarriff-war would be a very interesting thing, but fortunately the countries involved would be ones that could not damage the US by tarriffing in the opposite directions, and the US could very easily exempt highly-developed countries that the US DOES export to ---- the US is IMPORTING the results of all this work, not EXPORTING.
Also, this is not just for Outsourcing..... this is a corporate Tax Avoidance method used by large companies such as Apple; who "License" their IP from a foreign company incorporated in some ridiculous place like Ireland or some small island nations; anyways by Tarriffing IP licensing, the lost tax $$$ could be recovered.
