I think we haven't done enough to separate these two concepts. We're confusing manipulative lies with opinions incompatible with the worldview of a segment of the population, and it will destroy us.
To a certain point, I agree, however, I think there's been a significant rise of opinion pieces that are passed off as 'news'. I also find opinions laced into articles either through manipulative language or statements not backed by facts (and refuted by other news media articles) on a greater frequency than before. I think media outlets need to clearly label what is opinion versus news (and the best outlets do) and keep high editorial standards around slipping in influential language. The other best way to combat it is to have a heterogenous news diet, being sure to read articles from multiple sources that might be labeled left and right of center (you can avoid the far left or right ones altogether).
I agree with you. But, have you ever thought that it is the type of news that most people want to listen/hear/see? Yes, it is sad but true. Why do I think it is that way? Well, if you look at traditional way of representing news back before Internet booming, news were boring and dry. There was no excitement in listening to news. Now, people/journalists keep throwing their opinion into the story they are telling. If the opinion allies with the readers, it grabs their attention and confirm their bias. Then the readers would want to hear more from the same source. I guess there is no way to resolve this type of problem.
no, these have been going on since algae has existed
imagining "x or y might increase the severity" without a shred of proof is just scare mongering.
seriously, these are natural. they've been going on since algae existed...for *billions* of years!
Read this news. Want more? Here is another one for you. When you said "without a shred of proof," it demonstrates that you are ignorant because there are plenty of "shred of proof" but you aren't trying to even look for one.
I'm glad to hear your low carb diet is working out for you, but there is no such thing as "mostly keto". Your body is either in ketosis or it isn't. Personally, I think you are very smart to not go into ketosis, but please don't pretend your doing something you aren't.
The word keto diet is from 'ketogenic diet', not 'ketosis'.
Except you don't have to bomb the interior of the burned area. The purpose is to CONTAIN the file so the goal is to extinguish the fire at the periphery.
I would agree with you, but the problem is that using bomb is to simply cut off the oxygen (which helps fire to keep going). It does NOT eliminate fire. If you do it around the edge, you can't go back into the area right away (remember the oxygen?). Besides, the fire can still come back easily once the oxygen spread back into the are.
Swedish TFA: "The oxygen from the fire can be removed with the help of a bomb
Now, my question would be how could 100-m turns into 100-yard??? Can't American blogger understand the measurement unit? Simply change the unit from metre to yard is wrong even though it is about 10% different in length. To me, this is an oversimplified case. So I'm not sure it will actually help you control the fire.
American TFA: In Sweden, the shockwave from a single bomb snuffed out flames within a 100-yard radius of the impact point.
Swedish TFA: It managed to extinguish fires up to 100 metres from the target, according to initial reports.
The complaints were that elementary school teachers were failing math testing with questions being at the difficulty of 11th grade math. Why should we expect elementary school teachers to know 11th grade math?
If anyone wants to see what the test is like, here is the link to a practice version which may be what the person was talking about.
To me, the math skill of the test is NOT that difficult; however, their questions are very 'tricky' (especially look at question #6). If you don't have a firm maths foundation, you will not be able to answer those questions correctly. Even though English is my second language, I finished the practice test within the time limit and got over 90% (missed some because I misunderstood the questions/answers). Though, my major is CS, so it could be different.
Could you explain further what you mean by this? Early in the school year, I would read ahead in the textbook between the end of the lecture and the end of the class period. But later in the school year, I have finished the textbook, and this is no longer effective.
Why are you only thinking about reading ahead? To study, you could also revisit what you learned. It helps you to remember what you learned. Unless you think that everything you learned in classes is useless anyway (as many Americans do). To me, everything I learned in class could be used in life one way or the other. It may not be obvious at all, but it is a part of building blocks. What to remember is to "keep in mind" and don't over value what you learned in classes.
In schools in most states of the United States, leaving the classroom during a class period without a hall pass would result in disciplinary action against the student for truancy. Do schools in France have different customs compared to schools in the United States with respect to under what conditions a teacher is willing to grant a hall pass?
Then kids need to learn to behave and stay in the room. Talking to each other during the break is fine as well. That is a way to learn real-life socializing instead of looking at the phone.
Could you explain further what you mean by "the next class"? Do you mean the next meeting of the same class, or the different class next period?
It can be anything. It could be the next class of the same subject or the next class which follows the class which is just finished.
What prevents a teacher from finishing the lecture even earlier than that?
Well, report to the principal? Teachers are supposed to spend as much time they are given as they can to deliver education. Any teachers who leave the class early usually give assignments or something that kids need to do in class. If any teachers decide to leave early without a good reason, then report them. I know, kids nowadays don't care because they behave badly. No disciplinary is very likely to be spoiled. It is a problem involve all parents, kids, and teachers.
Then what should occupy a student while the student is sitting quietly between the end of the lecture and the end of the class period?
Study? Or walk around the school as a type of exercise? Or just sit quietly and prepare for the next class? It's not that long time (5-10 minutes) to control yourself. I did that when I went to school. Stop giving excuses.
I'm way more interested in how the bitcoins were obtained in the first place. How can you access a coinbase or similar account with someone's phone number?
Do you really want to know? You may read this blog about how he lost the control of his coinbase account due to the people in telecom company. 2FA doesn't help if the registered phone number to the account is changed.
Interestingly hyperloop might make a lot more sense on Mars which is where Elon's ambitions lie anyway. Not much atmosphere to get in the way so the pumping costs are lower plus you would actually want protection from dust and other features. Flying isn't really an option and traditional trains probably would be problematic. So while it might not make sense here on Earth in the face of economically proven competitors, it might actually make sense elsewhere in the solar system if/when we ever get there.
And the problem is how could we transfer or find materials to build one in Mars, let alone find a practical way to build a colony there? I guess in theory, it makes sense. In practice, there are many other issues involved (aside the technology) that would make things impossible...
Just because you change the word "digital media" from "mobile phone" AKA smartphone, that doesn't make you one of the first to study the matter... So TFA is just an advertising for some researchers who want to have some fames.
You can't know that. All we know is how often people get caught - and they only ever get caught by the winning side. Chicago machine politics has been Chicago machine politics for far more than a century.
Because of statistics, we can assume that it is rare. Besides, most humans can't keep secret. If it has been there as such a large scale (big group of people involved in the fraud), it would have been out long ago. Thus, fraud of in-person voting is rare.
You just like to jump into conclusion from pick-and-choose bits of presented information. Actually, the summary gave you the information that completely negates your statement.
Just to point out the information from TFA in TFS, the analysis comes from plugging into the ground to find out the ground sediment layers. The matters they found (e.g. charcoal, pollen, etc.) exist in the layers of the sediment. They could also calculate/estimate the time period from the layers.
If you don't know what process I'm talking about, think of plugging a long tube into the ground, and then pull the tube out which contains the ground layers inside the tube. The layers will represent what have been settled on the ground.
you need to put those growth figures into perspective. The reason they could grow 53% in a year is they basically had less than 2% of the marketshare. Growth stopping at 2% in a market that is several times the size of the US is not good news for them. While the average per capita may be $600 their is a very large middle and upper class segment in india and right now they are choosing Android not apple.
Hmm... Not good news. This is really business point of view. If they can't make money comparable to their competitors, they are doing bad even though they may have plus-sided profits. Yep, It is not about the amount of profit dollars. It is all about market share percentage (which in turn will increase profit dollars even more). That's how business point of view works nowadays.
Underground cables are ALWAYS at risk from any type of water accumulation. Sea level has nothing to do with that risk.
A broken underground pipe can cause the same exact damage as surging water from higher sea level. The risk is from long term water exposure, not sea level.
Sounds like you don't know how the ground works.
Normally, there is a level of water underground called "water table". It is where the water level sits all the time. Anything below the line is submerged. When there is rain, the water line goes up. This water line is also related to the sea level when the area is near by the sea. When the sea level rises, the water line also goes up. So yes, sea level has an impact on water table line specifically the areas near by the sea (coast).
If there's no guaranteed penalty for breaking a promise, the promise is worthless.
Hmm... Even though the promise is worthless, at least the merge should become invalid. Thus, TW can't be merged with AT&T. I still see that it is worth it.
What really boggles my mind is the same people complaining and protesting about police misconduct one day are complaining and protesting to make sure only police have firearms the next.
Errr, they are 2 completely different issues. Furthermore, a viable solution for both issues are also completely different.
The former is caused by the bad ones inside the force. There ARE GOOD law enforcement people, but they will never be recognized because most people think it is "their job" so they must be that way. When there are a few black sheep that cause trouble, news is everywhere and ruin all other's good standing. A viable solution is to weed out the bad one and be more scrutiny.
The latter is to support law enforcement on their job. If the law enforcement people are all good and follow their rules, then it is the solution that only police have firearms. Of course, we aren't living in a perfect world, so it is impossible that only police would have firearms.
In conclusion, you are mixing two issues by over look what the real cause is. You are too bias to be able to reason at each case. Also, your post shows that you do not like law enforcement and government for some reasons, period.
Seriously? Over here you can either take (your share of) the entire estate, including all liabilities, or waive you right to all of it. Are you really claiming that in the US, debt is practically evaporating at death?
It is also depended on the local (state) laws and the kind of debt, but most likely yes the uncollected debt could be evaporated once the debtor is dead (and all the deceased assets have been probated and distributed).
It is a little odd. "Oldest rock color" doesn't really make more sense than "oldest color." What they meant was "the oldest deliberately compounded pigment."
Still, it doesn't make sense. Colors have already been there all along. It is just that they can "extract" color pigment for use from what they found and believed to be the oldest source (but humans didn't exist at the time yet).
If no one can sell any of your data then companies will just raise their prices to cover the full costs of their products and services. Like no more free Strava on the iphone or apple watch. If you want a run/biking tracker you'll have to pay per device. Just like the old days.
Hmm... I think you jump into conclusion. If they don't sell/buy data, those companies can still collect data but would be limited to their own product use. Because you use iPhone as an example, it will not change anything. Apple has been collecting and using the data for years. Do you still think that they need to buy more data to develop their watch? The only difference I could think of is that it could be less free apps you can use. However, that doesn't mean we can't live without. They all are for convenience, not a must or need.
Free Strava? Hmm... I am wondered how many percentages of those who can access it would actually use it. Without it, would that change the world? I highly doubt it.
I live in Europe. I can roam the whole continent and probably a lot further too with the same SIM card.
The whole Europe continent area is less than 10% bigger than the U.S. country alone. Your statement doesn't really mean anything when you are specifically talking about areas because it works somewhat similar to States in the US...
My Volvo (a car, not a truck) has a 100L tank; it also does 4L/100km so you can easily drive from Stockholm to Munich without refueling, even through huge queues. What kind of sissy cars are sold in the US that your fuel tanks are that small? Sedans rather than station wagons, that's why you can't fit anything and need to buy trucks:D
Someone is not being truthful but rather exaggerate the numbers. It would be much easier to "fact check" if a model number is given. I don't see any car that has 100L tank. Also, most of them are using Diesel instead. It is known that Diesel fuel gives better mileage than Benzil. Thus, you are comparing apple with orange.
