Please stop using the word "facts" when responding to right-wing trolls as it triggers their delicate sensibilities. Trolls require a safe space to protect themselves from their own snowflake's sharp corners.
Is it any different from Netflix showing you recommendations based on your past viewings and ratings?
* Google learned about the movie and that is targeted at kids. This is probably the subtle Disney ad ("be our guest") mentioning letting partners provide data, but they could also just have scanned movie listings like everyone else.
* They probably sussed out that you have kids.
* They recommended it based on these facts.
It sure would be nice if you could turn these recommendations off, though. It's more bothersome because it's audible, delays the content you really want, and can't be easily ignored like an image off in the corner of a browser.
Up here in Canuckistan we're generally not allowed to probe too deeply into prospective employees' personal lives, but when I'm doing an interview, I ask the question "Is there anything that would interfere with you performing the duties detailed in the job description?"
It's the same in the U.S. You can't ask even simple things like "Are you married?" or "Do you own a car?" as these could be used to discriminate. You might assume their answer would interfere with their work performance. And that question you posted is exactly what's recommended here as well. All employees must be able to perform their duties. It's up to them to deal with their specific circumstances to do so. When they cannot (as in your example), it's their responsibility to speak up.
But to the original point, given that it's illegal for companies to ask about such issues and BAE didn't in this case (good!), was it disrespectful for the guy to wait until his first day to bring it up?
I would definitely have discussed it with my supervisor once I had accepted the position and signed the paperwork, but that's usually handled on the first day in the office.
Why does the U.S. allow India and China to continue leading in deaths from air pollution? We need to bring those jobs back to the U.S. Get rid of the EPA! More air-pollution-related deaths in America now!
It's a reservoir to hold water long-term and supply it as-needed. During heavy rains, it fills to avoid flooding downstream since the rain will supply the water necessary. During the dry season, water is released downstream for supply.
There is a separate mechanism that releases water when the reservoir gets full. There's only so much flood protection you can provide with a fixed-size reservoir and massive rainfall.
It's almost like people have multiple—often competing—priorities that they have to balance when voting. Certainly, life can't be that complex, right? Can't we just keep assuming every person can be pegged to a single issue that decides everything in their lives?
To apply the patch, you have to twist the patient's nipples in opposite directions to the beat of the music that plays when Darth Vader enters a scene.
Holy shit, baking soda (trona ore) really is mined! Yes, in that case, it would offset some of the energy used to mine the ore. And as that PDF lays out, there are many other uses for baking soda. I knew of some (deodorizing, leavening, buffer) but not as a grease/electrical fire retardant. Pretty cool stuff!
Now if only we could turn it into solid rocket fuel! Just add vinegar?
So, if the bank robber is eventually released from jail after serving their sentence, then they weren't ever captured.
We've already thrown logic out the door by comparing CO2's effect on the atmosphere to a bank robber. But yes, if that bank robber immediately began robbing banks, I would consider him to have been only temporarily captured.
How temporarily equates to never in your mind . . . I guess, education fail?
When the cops announce they've nabbed a bank-robber, do you only consider him captured if they killed him in the process? Your standards seem either not well thought out or simply unrealistic.
If the cops nab a bank robber and then release him, I don't consider him captured. Jail would suffice; I don't see that execution is necessary.
Are you inhaling the baking soda? Is it floating in the atmosphere helping insulate the planet?
Carbon from fossil fuels is captured only if it is prevented from entering the atmosphere. If the baking soda is used for, y'know, baking—and then those baked goods are eaten—the carbon will end up in the atmosphere. In other words, not captured.
1. taking a third (or more) of his paycheck
2. taking out credit in his (and everyone elses) name, leaving him and the rest of society with the debt and compounded interest
3. regulating his speech
4. surveilling his behavior

Holy crap, I had no idea service dogs were so versatile!
I understand how ads could emit these sounds, but how do advertisers install apps on your device to pick them up and phone home? Is this capability built into iOS and Android, or do they work with handset manufacturers?
I think it's dangerous that the masses are being told that we should believe climate change is caused by man simply because the "consensus among scientists" is pointing to that direction.
You shouldn't. "Scientific consensus" is misleading because it's the wrong phrase. Scientists didn't get together and agree that green is the best color. That's utter nonsense and shouldn't be accepted by anyone. Rather, climatologists have arrived at a consilience of evidence. Many varied experiments have converged to the same result, over and over and over again.
* Green paint in hospitals correlates to faster healing of patients.
* Students in classrooms with green chairs achieve better test scores.
* Football teams wearing green jerseys win more games.
* Tax forms filled out in green ink are audited less often by the IRS.
* Moths with green spots on their wings produce more offspring.
* . ..
As the evidence from more and more experiments point to the same conclusion, we don't need detailed models of how many points green walls will shave off the recidivism of parolees—and if the model predicts 2.1729 but we measure 2.1726 it's wrong. Rather, it has simply become utterly clear that green is the superior color. Not because painters took a vote but because the evidence is overwhelming.
As an aside, the model for the strength gravity will only be accurate at one specific altitude, and even then will vary across the surface of the Earth due to the thickness of the crust and the density of magma beneath it. Your exacting requirement for proof of climate change would stop you from leaving your house in the morning if applied to gravity for fear of spontaneously flying off into outer space.
Putin and his sanctions-busting minions are out in full force today, which makes it like every other day. Who needs fake news when you can instantly blackhole rational discussion?
Insightful snarky comment? Gotta mod that shit into oblivion before it catches on! When I comment mid-stream, I easily earn 15 mod points for insight. Post first in a discussion on climate change? Instant karma destruction. This is why I rarely bother commenting anymore.
It isn't Slashdot's fault—though poor summary editing doesn't help inspire discussion. It isn't even the fault of regular commenters. The old crew is still here and trying our best. No, the fault lies squarely with the paid trolls. If you dare seek the truth of the scientists paid to deny the science of climate change, cancer from smoking, the ozone hole and more, watch Merchants of Doubt. Where you suspect the scientists studying climate change of being a secretive society bent on profiting from false science, you'll find a true industry paid to flat out deny actual science without evidence. But it's not even their fault. They were sold on anti-Communism and are acting out of a belief that addressing climate change will kill capitalism.
1. Trump references the Wisconson website and takes credit for fixing climate change in a 3 am tweet.
2. Kellyanne Conway goes on Sunday talk shows to deny climate change exists.
3. Trump doubles down and claims the Clintons created the problem with all that darned economic growth in the 90s.
4. Putin publicly thanks Trump and Exxon for helping him annex climate change.
5. America is somehow great again.

Shiva Ayyadurai will certainly have something to say about this!
Or invite over a few friends and split the cost. Oh, wait . . .

You don't know what you're talking about. We're at war with Eastasia. We've always been at war with Eastasia. Eurasia is our eternal ally and friend.

According to Mavroudis, the mobile phone must have an app installed that has embedded one of the many advertising SDKs that include support for uXDT.
I guess advertisers probably pay app developers to include the toolkit. I really hope it's not in the OS.
