It is believed that he offered a draw in game 12, despite having a stronger position, because he figured a single blunder could cost him the championship if the game continued, and going to a 4 game rapid tie breaker would give him better odds.
Not because someone had placed bets on the very long odds of 12 draws?
Some have voiced concerns that this 12-draws was deliberate, and due to being paid more sponsorship money the more games was played. Carlsen offering remis in games where many thought he was clearly ahead has made some people worry. Personally, I think he's clean, but then again, nothing would really surprise me anymore.
Even worse, that list is probably public record and now websites will list you as a "flagged individual likely to commit a crime"
It's the other way around right now, at least for the lists the TSA use. You can't get taken off the list because you have no rights to know whether you even are on the list in the first place. Even filing a suit to get taken off doesn't work, because you have no standing for a suit unless you can show you're on the list.
No, the word earthquake goes back to the 14th century, a century before the planet was first called Earth. It means ground, not the planet. Which is rather obvious, because the entire Earth does not quake.
They do ask for permission all the time for various things. I have been stopped more than once in my life for speeding and such and police is nothing but courteous.
Until you say "actually, I do mind" and refuse to let them do what they want to.
Nothing odd about it. It costs more, It performs worse
Not always. Modern ECC does the fetch and verification in parallel, negating most of the slowdown. And some registered ECC (which used to be slower) is now faster, as it does pre-fetch before the actual request.
The problem is that law enforcement and politicians would demand a backdoor. That opens up for abuse both by the government, corporations (in the countries where the two are separate) and by other criminals who manage to hack/steal/cajole access from the key holders.
The problem is that you need a CPU and north bridge that can handle it, which adds to the initial costs. For Intel, for example, a Xeon CPU costs (artificially) a good deal more than a comparable speed i3/5/7/9, which is an upfront cost that consumers aren't willing to eat, and they tend to choose either a cheaper CPU or a faster CPU for the same kind of money.
The malware has the functionality to hijack ssh connections to other systems and execute itself remotely.
So you have to have a system that already allows remote root access from other insecure systems, AND someone who invokes that ssh connection from an infected system? That doesn't sound like it will hit very many...
Would Linux users wonder why their CPU is in use more often?
Possibly. Add a comma, and I'd say certainly: Linux users would wonder why their CPU is in use, more often. This is due to all the commonly used standard tools that would give an indication, including but not limited to w, uptime, top and ps.
How about instead if you don't like playing the games, you just don't do it and don't worry what other people are doing.
The problem isn't those who don't like playing the games, but those who like playing them so much that they lose the ability for critical thinking and spend money they can't afford.
Even here in the US, there's protection against that - in many states, you can't buy lottery tickets or casino chips with credit cards, for example. But the video gaming companies accept credit cards.
The immune system is not primed against e. coli because e. coli are standard symbionts of the human intestine system. So? Do you grasp this? Regardless how strong your immune system is, you are always prone to get an "e. coli infection" during travels.
Read what you yourself wrote, and then digest the implication of the last two words. During travels. Natives do not get affected as much as travellers. This is precisely because the immune system is primed to deal with the strains of pathogens that it has already encountered.
So, back to topic, what happens if the 32 patients (or more) lose both their kidneys?
That is personal outcome, not risk. The two are separate concepts. While the individual consequences is enormous to the afflicted, the risk of it happening in the first place is minuscule. The risk of being hit by a Ford F-150 in Texas is much higher, and what happens then can certainly be tragic too. That doesn't imply that Texas should necessarily ban Ford F-150s.
3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the United States
So, it is not true that this is a rare problem
There are over 327,000,000 people living in the US of A, and around 2,800,000 deaths per year. 3,000 is.1% of the deaths, or a.0009% risk of dying from foodborne diseases in the next year.
Can someone tell me why I only hear this kind of "E. Coli scare" only in developed countries?
Part of the reason is that developed countries have more press, all competing for the ad-sponsored audience. I.e. you hear about it more. Part of it is the distribution mechanism, where produce from one place makes it to hundreds of different markets under different brand names. It's being fought somewhat with the "farm to table" movement, which if nothing else helps restrict outbreaks. And part of the reason is that people in developed countries have crappy immune systems, having been overproteced all their lives. The threshold for an infection turning into a disease is much lower if you don't have a primed immune system.
You must be new here. No, not for that reason, but because I don't think many of the greybeards here would ever eat romaine lettuce in the first place.
Alpha Centauri isn't a star; it is a system comprising the stars Alpha Centauri A (Rigil Kentauris) and Alpha Centauri B (Toliman), with the dwarf Proxima Centauri orbiting the two at a great distance. And Proxima Centauri is currently the closest star.

Yes, because they occur on the Earth.
No, the word earthquake goes back to the 14th century, a century before the planet was first called Earth. It means ground, not the planet.

Agreed.
If you're not willing to say Tellusquake, don't say Marsquake either.
Why should taxpayers be saddled with more debt so the nerd class can feel good about itself.
Because without the nerd class, you'd still be driving around in a horse-and-buggy, without nifty things like mobile phones and GPS.

I don't think so. Which states allow the use of deadly force to protect property?
Colorado, at least.
https://www.nytimes.com/1990/0...
Different states interpret the castle doctrine differently.
The thief is a criminal sure, but they don't deserve to die just because they took your property.
You must not live in the US. Even a threat to property can be met with deadly force in some states.
It would be even more interesting if the terrorists hacked the cars and told them to drive into a tree at full speed.

When you call the police, they ask your permission for a "takeover,"
They would ask your permission? In what universe do you live?

One may gobble up all resources on a system, rely on privilege escalation, hide logs, and be very hard to get rid of.
The other one is just malware.

3,000 is
So no, it's not rare. It's very rare.
Wrong. Food safety in Europe is proactive
Last I checked, Europe was considered an area of developed countries.

closest star is Alpha Centauri.
