"You can't hurry love. It's reciprocal. You're not ordering an object. You're not getting a delivery in less than seven minutes." Finding love, she added, takes commitment and energy -- and, yes, time, no matter how inefficiently it's spent.
The complaint, Ms. Hobley, isn't that your site/app fails at finding a match that a person is already in love with; it's that your site/app fails at even finding a match that a person could fall in love with.
Yes, your users have to work at making a lasting relationship. I think there are very few people who don't understand that on some level. But if people are finding your site/app less useful than meeting people through their hobbies, you're probably doing something wrong.
Although, to be fair, I do wonder what the actual "satisfaction rating" among users of dating websites might be.
It doesn't matter much if Firefox 57 is faster than Chrome. What matters is that it is faster than Firefox 56.
Well, if FF 56 was slower than Chrome and FF 57 is faster than Chrome... I'm assuming you learned about the transitive property at some point and can deduce my point from there.
You might want to reread that. They're not saying it isn't true; they're just saying it doesn't matter if it is.
Lower tax rates to make it less profitable for companies to try to off shore profits and they'll gladly take the path of least resistance.
Lower them to what? People keep saying that, but nobody offers a number. Where's that sweet spot that gets the government more money in taxes and saves these large corporations money? Does it even exist? Advocates simply assume that it must, but nobody seems to care to know.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security in May warned that white supremacist groups had already carried out more attacks than any other domestic extremist group over the past 16 years and were likely to carry out more attacks over the next year, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by Foreign Policy.
Even as President Donald Trump continues to resist calling out white supremacists for violence, federal law enforcement has made clear that it sees these types of domestic extremists as a severe threat. The report, dated May 10, says the FBI and DHS believe that members of the white supremacist movement “likely will continue to pose a threat of lethal violence over the next year.”
Can you at least admit that it just MIGHT be what Trump says all this is? That there was no collusion with the Russians and Firing Comey was intended from the beginning (just like he said during the campaign)?
Possible? Sure. Probable? It doesn't seem likely.
How far behind the news are you? Because apparently Trump's tried several times to get folks (including Comey himself) to end the Russia investigation. His attempts are even being described as, potentially, obstruction of justice, and not just by left-leaning Trump critics.
Given such information, your best defense is that Trump might actually be stupid enough to try and cover up a non-existent crime/scandal.
ISIS? They're Junior Varsity, nothing to worry about.
Irrelevant, even if true. Trump claimed to have a "foolproof" and "absolute" plan to defeat ISIS "quickly". He has so far failed to put his plan into action, unless, of course, his "plan" was to tell his top generals to come up with a plan.
But even if ISIS is nothing to worry about, that makes his ongoing failure to defeat them "quickly" all the more pathetic.
THIS is the exact reason Trump is sitting in the White house. It will of the reasons he will be sworn in, in 2020 for a second term. You constantly underestimated Trump from the time he threw his hat in the ring all the way up to election night.
Let's not get stupid here. It's less an underestimation of Trump than it is an overestimation of certain voting demographics. Trump didn't vote himself into office, after all.
He isn't releasing his tax returns because they don't exist in any meaningful sense, and they won't until the audit is concluded. When you are under audit, the IRS is saying that the documents you submitted are not your tax return, and they are going to use the audit process to create your return.
This is incorrect. The IRS has officially stated that there is nothing preventing Trump from releasing his tax information:
In a statement Friday [February 26, 2016], the IRS said that federal privacy rules prohibit the agency from discussing individual tax matters, but “nothing prevents individuals from sharing their own tax information.”
That is not a valid argument. You should always use only space, or have spaces expanded to tabs, because a space is always a space. A tab might be 4 spaces or 3 spaces or 2 spaces or default to 8 spaces (or columns every 2,3,4,8,etc columns) depending on the settings of the editor. If there are multiple people working on the same set of files with different settings for tabs, it rapidly becomes an incomprehensible mess.
This makes no sense. Tab widths aren't encoded into the file; they're editor-specific. Jim could use ts=2 and Bob could use ts=8, look at the same file, and not notice anything screwy; they'll each see indentation at their preferred width.
Use only tabs to indent to the beginning of the indent level. Use spaces for all other alignment, including if you want to go a little further in than the indent level for some reason.
It pains me that "tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment" seems to be such a minority. The combination seems to solve nearly every complaint I've seen from both camps.
It's as if the desire for purity is fundamental in human nature, but manifests itself differently in each person. For some it's race; for others it's use of tabs/space.:-)
There is a Navy person who facing 20 years to life for disposing of a phone which had his picture while inside the sub.
A quick Google search tells me that you're not representing the situation accurately.
The sailor isn't facing charges for simply having taken pictures of himself while on the sub; he had several pictures of classified engineering spaces: "The photos that raised red flags at NCIS and the FBI included images of various control panels, a panoramic view of the reactor compartment and a panel that showed the condition and exact location of the submarine at the time the photo was taken." (source)
I trust Wikileaks a whole lot more than the average Associated Press news story full of random bullshit attributed to "sources speaking anonymously because they were not authorized." We're not dumb, we don't want a filter and "think of the children" is how dictators often climb to power.
In situations like this (what looks like a mindless data dump), trust in WikiLeaks is meaningless, and expression of such trust reveals a certain level of, potentially willful, ignorance. It's not trust in WikiLeaks you need here; it's trust in every person that now has access to the personal, potentially private information of otherwise innocent individuals.
Informative, really mods? I can go to ANY right wing site RIGHT now and say "GOP is the rich old white people party" and I will NOT be banned...compare this to how many left wing sites will ban your ass immediately if you talk about how Hillary is a crook that deserves PMITA prison.
They do NOT have a right to sue because it's their own responsibility to build software checks and balances that would prevent cheating...
This is not a good argument. It's similar (similar, mind you) to arguing that you just need to suck it up when someone breaks into your house, because clearly you didn't do enough to keep them out.
The simple fact that someone was able to bypass your security does not necessarily prove you negligent, nor does it absolve the perpetrator of all responsibility for any harm caused by their actions.
The longer the delay in getting guns in the hands of good guys where they could shoot the bad guy the more people died. There didn't have to be a delay at all.
That is simple enough that you should be able to understand it.
The solution to gun violence is not "more guns". Especially in a crowded and chaotic situation like this, where it would be damn near impossible to reliably distinguish the bad-guy-with-a-gun from the good-guy-with-a-gun.
I'm constantly amazed by how many people fail to understand this.
Usually the people claiming it is a religion are religious themselves and do it because they can't handle the possibility of people having morality that lacks dependency on the supernatural.
That may be the reason they resort to attempted insults, but I don't think it's the reason they choose that particular insult.
The reason, as far as I can tell, is that they think (rightly or wrongly), since atheist tend to view religion negatively, they'll shock the atheist into acceptance of religion by labeling atheism as the very thing that atheists view with disdain.
Of course, not everyone has likely thought the insult through that far; to them, it's probably more akin to, "Yeah, well... you're a poopy-head, too!" An implicit acceptance/admission that there's something bad about "religion".
No matter what you think about the civil rights aspect of our surveillance state, it is increasingly clear that it does not not work.
However, instead of calls to disband it, I'm sure there will be calls to make it even more intrusive. And there is no limit to that. If another event happens, we must not be surveilling the population enough...
Like guns and the conservativeness of Republican presidential candidates, if they fail... it's because there wasn't enough.
In the end you are voting for a woman who fundamentally is the ultimate tie-in to every status quo between government and business insider dealing that has existed for decades. Or you vote for the person who is part of none of that existing government/business wheel of fortune.
Two things: 1) If you think real estate doesn't need to get cozy with the government, you're missing something. 2) You don't solve the government-business problem by skipping the middleman and electing the business interest directly to the Presidency.

She would have been all sneaky about it and probably lie about it too. He will more likely be loud and annoying about it.

These aren't equivalent claims.

I can't blame him. I've seen someone describe it as "stepping in shit to dodge a bullet." The "bullet", of course, being a Trump presidency.
