Given that he took his own life, while we can't be sure about his mental state it's likely that he was under considerable stress and suffering from mental health issues. Thus failure to remember to send the draft is explainable. In fact he may have hesitated to do so, not realizing the legal ramifications, for fear that the message would cause the recipient to call the emergency services.
This is a civil matter so the burden of proof is only the balance of probability, not beyond a reasonable doubt.
So given that he wrote the draft, probably supported by other evidence of his relationship with the individuals involved, is it more likely that he intended that to be his will or more likely that he didn't send it because he changed his mind?
Not sending it could have been because he intended to amend it, not because he didn't want them to inherit his stuff.
I think you would have a hard time convincing a judge that on balance it's more likely he didn't intend for that message, or something close to it, to be his will.
I wouldn't underestimate her. Trump lies habitually without really thinking about it, but Conway's lies are purposeful and part of her long running post-truth mission.
When she coined "alternative facts" it was a slip - in the post-truth world you pick the facts that support your position. She's good at it too - Trump won, after all.
I'm surprised that this Javascript can make any money. When I visit it's usually for just a few seconds, often following a direct link to the content I want (via Google or a TV calendar). I click on the magnet link to start downloading and then close the site.
Is that even long enough for the miner to get initialized or do any useful work?
The Republican party is split at the moment. You have the traditional Rs, the conservatives, and then you have the new alt-right, where Trump's administration came from.
The battle between the two factions is why the Republicans can't get much done at the moment.
It's like the early days of home computing all over again. Rapid product updates, and if you had the old hardware you were probably stuffed... At least now there is mostly backwards compatibility though, so your older hardware isn't unusable for most modern applications.
Since 99% of the content on PornHub is infringing copyright, maybe that's their ultimate goal. Kinda like Uber, start off ignoring the law and hope to develop something legal before you get sued and regulated into oblivion.
4chan et al. have been doing this for years as a way to harass and dox people. If they can't find anything they just post someone similar looking and claim it's the victim.
Surprised there have not been more lawsuits yet, over firings for misidentification.
I predict the supply of amateur porn will dry up fast too. The promise of relative anonymity and obscurity will deter people.
Right, I bet the shareholders are just lining up to demand that Google gets a new CEO after a disastrous 29% increase in profits last year. Clearly Google is dying and in need of a rockstar CEO to save them. I hear Melissa Mayer is available.
Nissan removed the 80% charge feature years ago, because it turned out to be pointless. Those taxis I mentioned get multiple rapid charges a day, then a 100% over night.
73 miles range is a joke, you would have to border it like crazy to do that badly. I used to do regular 65 mile trips in a 24kWh car in the cold with heavy rain, uphill, and arrive with over 20% left without even really trying.
Anyway, around here you can easily get a used Leaf or Zoe with minimal degradation for under 10k.
I don't know why prices are so silly in Canada. In the UK £5k for a Leaf is not uncommon. Who cares if the battery is out of warranty, they are good for at least 200k miles anyway. Typical Leaf of that age with say 100k on the clock would be looking at around 90% capacity remaining, so maybe 80 miles for the old 24kWh pack.
Having said that my old 2 year old one, again top spec, sold for about $15k CAD with 16k miles on it and no noticeable battery degradation.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. You could write to them withdrawing your consent for them to hold data about you, but all that would do is damage your ability to get credit.
I agree it's a really bad situation. Taking the data off them wouldn't really solve the problem, just hand it to another bunch of idiots. The core of the problem is relying on such databases to determine credit worthiness.
North Korea's plan is to develop a nuclear defence capability and thus ensure they are not invaded by the US.
Trump has been assisting them with this through his threats and name calling, and general weakness. It's given NK more justification to protect themselves, forced China and Russia to warn the US to back off, and further weakened Trump because he can never follow through on his threats of violence.
Everyone is taking maximum advantage of Trump. NK, Russia, China, the EU, even Mexico...
North Korea's plan will involve China. China doesn't want US troops on its border. It doesn't want millions of NK refugees flooding in. If the war turns hot, China's response will be a key part of the NK plan.
That's one reason why nukes are out. Nuking NK will result in the US being nuked in retaliation, so basically WW3.
NK must also be factoring in SK's strong desire to avoid the very large number of casualties and massive damage that would result. It doesn't so much matter if the artillery is ineffective against advancing US/SK forces, it only needs to hit Seoul.
And that's not even counting the possibility of NK using its own nuclear weapons when there is no hope left for them. They can definitely hit SK and Japan, and maybe the US. It's unlikely that SK or Japan would be willing to risk that.
"Delivery boxes" like that are not uncommon in Japan. Panasonic make them, among others. You can get ones with a camera built in so you can see the person putting stuff in there and the contents.
You can't punish Equifax too harshly because if they collapse they take millions of people's credit history with them. If, for example, you years of on-time mortgage payments are logged by Equifax and their records go away, all that information will be lost and your perceived risk to creditors will go up.
For Equifax to lose their licence what they did would have to be worse than the consequences of those records being lost.
However...
3. Forced to provide lifelong free credit protection services, including alerting them when people run credit checks against them or attempt to access their records. 3. Forced to disclose, completely, in 100% detail, every last scrap of data held by Equifax against every UK citizen. If necessary, to offer to explain to the person what has been taken and how it could be used, to educate their victims and help them defend against identity theft and fraud.
Those should be mandatory for all credit reference agencies anyway.
The flaw in your conspiracy theory is that battery electric vehicles are costing manufacturers a lot to develop and cost more to manufacture right now. They also need to get the batteries somehow, which means building new battery factories or doing major long term deals with existing manufacturers.
Given the choice they would prefer to carry on selling the same cars they already sunk vast amounts of money into developing.
Interesting, around here no employer in their right mind would demand you come to work through 50cm of snow because even if they managed to open up themselves they would likely be liable for any accident that befell you. We have quite strong health and safety rules and expecting employees to travel in dangerous conditions is not looked favourably upon.
So I guess the conclusion here is buy a self-driving car with manual mode, and learn to drive it in extreme conditions.
Having said that, if the snow is say 50cm deep is it really a good idea to drive through it? Assuming you have a suitable vehicle, you still can't see what is under there and are risking either hitting something or falling into something. On the extremely rare occasions when it happens around here they close the roads until they can be cleared for this reason.
Seems like an extreme edge case to me, and presumably the only person who would buy a self driving car with no manual mode is someone who can't drive anyway.

Waaaaaah! Stop caring! Your investing large amounts of money in clean energy makes my coal rolling look bad!
Actually there is probably a good economic reason for doing it. Renewables are now the cheapest form of electricity.

That site makes no sense. He lost 2 of 12 bars but 50% of his range?
The GOM isn't very useful for this kind of comparison. Where are the Leaf Spy logs?
Lots of taxis with 200k miles and over 80% left.

Have you looked at the prices of 2011 model Leafs? They are a lot, lot less than $11,000 for a top spec one.
