I'm no authority, but as far as I can tell PayPal should be unaffected. It sounds like data was scooped off the front-end of the web site, i.e., from filling out the forms. But PayPal does not fill out forms; it sends data directly. So it should not be affected.
I am guessing also that my card number was not stolen since I used a saved number, rather than entering it in. However, Newegg always has you retype the CVV code, so that was definitely stolen in my case.
I always use paypal when I can- partially for this reason. I hate when sites won't take paypal.
I've heard the terms "a gaggle of children" or a "flock" but I've never heard the term crocodile. But maybe it's used to refer to the snake like form that the groups take when following the teacher...
"Crocodile" is a fun expression in the language, Esperanto too. Crocodile is used as a verb in that language and means to talk in your native tongue rather than in Esperanto.
Crocodiling is frowned upon at Esperanto meet-ups.
2 chiefly British : a line of people (such as schoolchildren) usually walking in pairs
Interesting indeed- I am British and spent my life up unto my teen years in the UK (when my various migrations began); I had either forgot that phrase, or it is regional, or obscure.
I didn't read the article so it might say... but a lot of Universities charge more for people out of state- and even more for people out of country.
Those are called State Universities, the tuition is subsidized by state tax revenues and federal grants.
Rice is a private university.
I went to a private university. In state students paid less than out of state students. Almost everyone paid too much. I had about 75% covered with 3 scholarships and a grant. They rest I worked a full time job for and split the cost of attending with my parents.
Is that university good? No one I know earns $65000/y, a free trip sounds good!
I didn't read the article so it might say... but a lot of Universities charge more for people out of state- and even more for people out of country. This may not be free for people not in the US- but check, you might be in luck.
Nobody wants to watch TV/movie/music award shows anymore because they no longer focus on TV/movies/music. Instead it's a bunch of self-important celebrities whining that they don't like the President.
No, no one wants to watch them because they're boring... I couldn't care less what their opinion of the President is, even if I agree with it.
If the magazine boasted that it had technological measures in place that ensured only men read *could* or *did* it, then you'd absolutely have a legal basis for discrimination.
Theoretically you could create an account and register as a male as a female. I'm not on facebook, but I know three of my family members are and they all use false names. (not false genders though).
Either way though- facebook ad to men only or advertising to a male magazine shows a preference to only advertise towards men. If the job is still open to women, I'm not convinced that is illegal, although I'm open to being convinced that it is if anyone has any examples where a court has decided that it is. As I said, it certainly seems wrong; I'm just not convinced yet that it is technically illegal. I will be interested to see how this court interprets this.
Gamers are a bunch of whores who like getting treated badly. Every time EA releases a game people bitch and moan how terrible the company is, how terrible the game was, and how they will NEVER buy another EA game again. Well six months later some new bullshit game is announced and all those people can't get to the credit cards fast enough to pre-order.
I haven't bought anything from EA in over a decade now. Not because they don't have titles that would appeal to me- but because I think they're scum and I don't trust them.
Definitely wrong; but I see why companies may do this.
If you're a company that is in a male dominated industry with very few women looking for work in that industry. (Say tech work) I can see why a company may want to target the ad towards men, because they're more likely going to reach people who will respond to the ad.
That doesn't make it right, but I can see why companies would do this. Now, is it illegal. It's certainly illegal to only offer the job to men- but advertising... that's a tough one.
Would it be illegal to advertise a job in a men's magazine? Probably not, even though you're more likely to only get men reading it.
I don't know whether this is really illegal, but it certainly "feels wrong".
Is it more important to do something to help the homeless, or to develop a viable use case for blockchain?
Solving the problem of homelessness is very hard... (well, very hard to find a solution that would be acceptable to the government and most tax payers at least).
Name one job that doesn't use a machine? Sure, most require a human to operate machines. A computer is a machine, a can opener is a machine, a typewriter is a machine... almost every job already requires a machine.
Now, automated machines is a different thing- they might not have replaced humans yet but even coopers and blacksmiths in ye olde medieval Europe used machines, Machines have been around since man put a stone in a sling.
They're idiots, all. It's not a "headphone jack," it's an analog audio jack. It works with headphones, but having bluetooth headphones doesn't help with connecting a phone to an older car or a stereo.
Exactly- the average car on the road is now 10 years old- they're lasting longer these days. I have a 6 year old car- I intend to keep it at least another 6 years (3 average phone lifespans for most people). It doesn't have Bluetooth. I use my analog out every single day.
I applaud a better battery- I'd applaud even more if they made the battery bigger without taking away a headphone jack. Make the phone 2mm thicker or give a bezel- that's a better trade off than removing the headphone jack. How much space does a headphone jack really take up. I'm sure this is more about the pointless "who can make the thinnest phone" dick swinging match than it is about needing space for a battery.
Um, the politicians that will actually be voting on the law have the desire? Not sure I agree with that conclusion.
Unless it impacts their family directly, they probably wouldn't care all that much- unless it was a big voting issue. Call me jaded; but, I don't really think politicians really ever do anything "for the people" unless they think it would help themselves personally.
Why would someone build robots to build other robots to help you with nothing in return?
In order for this utopia of no work to begin; someone (many people) has to be willing to be giving something very valuable away for free. The resources to build the robots- the raw materials have to come from somewhere too. The people that own the iron mines aren't going to give iron away for free. Unless there is some world-wide revolution where people take over and force a communist utopia.
I reckon the same logic can be applied for taxes for this company too. It's a moral requirement for the federal government to make money.. by jacking up your corporate taxes by 400%.
The government cannot target a business for taxation....it's against the law for the government to single out a business and tax it differently than other businesses.
I understand your sentiment, but this one isn't a solution.
Government can and sometimes is sneaky about things like this. They can't say "let's tax corporation 'x' by 'y%'; but they can write some laws that directly impact one company more than others. They could find a way if they wanted. Now- government probably doesn't want to, and it probably isn't the correct solution for them to do so either... but they can be sneaky if they need to and the desire is there.
No one wants to walk though your cloud of second-hand blueberry fumes!
No they don't, but I don't want to listen to someone's rap music playing out a car window, or smell someone with BO, or taste ketchup that was put on my burger.
Not wanting to experience something that other people do want to experience is not reason for it to be illegal. Banning flavoured vapes because some teens are getting it illegal is not right in my opinion. Target people illegally selling it, or giving it to kids if you want. Tax the stuff if you want.
I don't like smoke or vaping- but I'm not for making it illegal. If they do it in the privacy of their own properties and don't expose others- and are well-informed of the consequences, then people should be allowed to smoke or vape if they want. I don't approve of banning things just because they're unpopular with the masses.
One day, something I like doing which is unpopular with the masses might be next on the chopping block. Let people have their vices if it isn't hurting anyone else. And yeah... do things to keep it out the hands of underage teens who have not yet reached adult age.
Actually, the real problem is the time it takes to refuel; compare to filling your tank with diesel, which takes only a minute. I think most of us could live with a range of only 100 miles, if you could go an fill your battery in a minute or two. Apparently a flow battery offers this advantage.
Most electric cars already have far in excess of 100 miles range- I think all the Teslas have way more than 200 now. The range of an electric car (for most people) will work for 99% of their needs; for the remaining 1%, when you go on long trips or vacations... well, you can rent an internal combustion motor powered car for your trip with the savings on fuel if you like and still come out ahead... plus not putting the miles on your own vehicle. An EV doesn't have to meet 100% of your needs to be better for you- it just needs to meet your daily needs.

Brewed cat water would still taste better than Folgers.
If scientists can't agree on this will it be a cat fight.

Interesting, had to look that up:
2 chiefly British : a line of people (such as schoolchildren) usually walking in pairs
Interesting indeed- I am British and spent my life up unto my teen years in the UK (when my various migrations began); I had either forgot that phrase, or it is regional, or obscure.
Would you prefer bananas of children ? Snakes of children ? Cluster of children ? Gaggle ?
I think I would have gone with "rabble".
Teachers herd crocodiles of small children across town without the constant fear that one of them will stray into traffic.
Is that really the correct group name for children? A crocodile of children?

See. There is the problem. Should've stay with the 0 kids.
Perhaps that would have been wiser... but if everyone had 0 kids who would fund your social security and take care of you when you're old.

That seems strange to me.
When you have three kids; even in a low-cost-of-living area... it's a tight income.

I haven't tried that brand, but I did try another brand and it didn't work very well.
Of course. Bluetooth also means extra battery drain too and possible security issues
OnePlus is now off the list.

Thanks parents for (lack of) raising such a shitty generation.
The next generation doesn't do things like I did them. The world is coming to an end. They must be bad people- only my way of doing things is correct.
There is nothing wrong if kids want to text rather than speak. If that's their preference, so be it.
