If only we had a number representative of a thousand trillion...
FTA:
With the two Chinese supercomputers and one Swiss system occupying the top of the rankings, this is the second time in the 24-year history of the TOP500 list that the United States has failed to secure any of the top three positions. The only other time this occurred was in November 1996, when three Japanese systems captured the top three spots.
Dateline has exactly zero trouble enticing otherwise upstanding citizens to date a 15 year old... over and over again
They run the same honeypot trap around where we live a couple of times a year on social media with no shortage of arrests at the end of the investigation.
If you're looking for something illegal on the internet, try to remember that law enforcement is, too, and their budget & experience likely top yours.
But they can be held legally responsible if they knowingly help criminals use a "security" front company to collect blackmail money and kidnapping ransoms.
Like how Western Union and Moneygram are held responsible when a mark sends money via their network?
The civil liberties committee of the European Parliament
should be making recommendations for legislation like this.
Getting the entire wishlist passed into law may be unlikely, but at least they're having the conversation. Naturally, there will be some dissent from other factions of government, powerful business interests, and the "if-you-have-nothing-to-hide" parrots. Still, this is a representative committee doing the people's business as it was intended to function.
It's refreshing. Far too many government oversight departments have been hamstrung (and empowered) by the whim of the party in power.
It's an interesting study, but ATFA, human trials were administered on ten healthy males for eleven days. By delaying the mealtime routine, blood glucose levels were affected... not exactly startling.
If it's true the people already affected by a lifestyle that conflicts with circadian rhythms are not typically pictures of health, we probably need a larger sample that includes overweight, jet-lagged, burnouts with dark circles under their eyes.
There seems to be enough evidence that routine within the many thousand year-old light and dark cycle is the healthiest lifestyle, but since somebody's got to man the late shift, tweaking the biological clock may be a great second option.
It should be interesting, if nothing else, since the new Overlord is an ATT competitor, and Verizon has been recently in the news shuttering up their own email activities.
One of tThe key differences between totalitarian societies and free societies is the rights of individuals are not compromised just to make things easier for the State.
A right guaranteed by a constitution may be a hindrance to those elected to conduct the people's business, but it's one that must remain if the society is to remain free.
Winning the hearts and minds of the populace has always been a dirty business. From Machiavelli to Goebbels to the more recent trend of powerful men buying up newspapers that are not profitable in the traditional sense.
When paying for influence goes on sale, does it not lessen the importance of the elite?
Because Tertill's approach is height-based, put one of the provided plant collars around short plants until they are tall enough for Tertill to recognize. When Tertill approaches the collar, it will recognize it and turn away.
In the past, when weed and collar were used together, seizure was typically close behind.
I like the idea that the State's have some independence from federal rule, and I am also fond of the notion that the Federales have the power to intervene in some cases where the States' have their heads up their arse.
The more checks and balances there are, the greater the probability all solutions to the proffered problem will be considered; and if we're lucky, the most extreme will be discarded.
It's not the lawyers, it's the families. Many of them struggle with technical issues, and almost all of them struggle with cost issues. Many inmates rely on their families to send them the money to make calls to maintain family ties. This makes that much harder.
At a minimum, the people in jail for pretrial detention deserve access to their families and support system at a better rate than $3.75 for a 15 minute local call.
Post-conviction, you maybe have an argument for gouging. Maay-be.
You make a great case for unions for short-sighted, younger workers who have a difficult time imagining they will age like the rest of the population.
As a government employee, though, you are working outside the effect of market forces on positions in private industry. A unionized work force is a thorn in the side of a company that has to constantly report better than average quarterly earnings to renew credit obligations by powerful lenders.
If a market is beholden to use union workers because there are no satisfactory alternatives, you are golden. It seems like that would not be the case in tech, given the predisposition of companies to outsource internationally.
The intelligence and skill level necessary to work most tech jobs places employees in a precarious position.
Unions are a difficult sell to employees who consider themselves tough to replace, and without that little bit of arrogance, it's unlikely an individual will excel in a challenging field.
It is the belief that unions only protect the below-average worker in a room full of exceptional individuals that will keep organized labor out of tech.
If we operate under the assumption that it's normally not okay to reveal the details of an investigation of the executive branch, there are no guidelines in existence to govern the exceptions.
Conversely, if all the branches of government conducted the people's business honorably, the exception to the rule would be a rare withholding of information for some aspect of genuine national security.
There is a group of dyed-in-the-wool gypsies that come through our area once in a while, who visit small businesses, and present them with suits for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) noncompliance. They operate with a complicit attorney, and they usually extort the offenders with a smallish monetary settlement.
It's not malice. Discriminating against our disabled countrymen is no one's goal... (okay it's probably someone's goal, but that sick fucker had a clumsy babysitter) perhaps it's just the increase in probability of a code violation that induces the bias.

Call me wierd. Been called worse. I like discovering a new function after having a phone for awhile... an easter egg hunt for the big kids.

I see what you did there.

Sure, but doesn't ugly decrease the level of difficulty of at least one of the other prerequisites?
There must be at least one more step.

Right back at you, conspiracy theory.
Smells like a byproduct of the predisposition of legislatures to be well represented by those with legal degrees.
