That isn't the best of all worlds, it's the worst! That's four years of debt to skip an apprenticeship and maybe some journeyman stuff vs. four years of earning a good wage going through the apprenticeship, at which point they can start working on the engineering degree at night and pay for it out of pocket instead of taking on debt.
I had a similar reaction. I haven't had problems like you describe, at least not lately, but I hate Apple Update. Stupid thing is always popping up at an inconvenient time and getting in my way. Plus it insists on trying to get me to install iCloud, which I don't want to do.
If I install it through the store, maybe it will silently update and leave me the hell alone until those rare times when I need it. That's my hope at least.
I thought I had mentioned that I saw room for maybe two to survive the inevitable crash, which would fit with your points, but I guess I was too sleepy to get around to it.
And why do people expect them to hold value? There's too many for any to be accepted as payment, so it's just a game exchanges are playing with each other. It won't turn out well.
Screw mileage, it hurts safety. In my compact sedan I can't see dick if there's an SUV or crossover in front of me. And I don't want to drive one of those. Probably because I'm already tall and so I don't need to make myself feel big artificially. Nor do I have kids to take to soccer practice.
Elephants, hippos and giraffes also live in the places where humans have been the longest. If we were going to eat them into extinction, it would have happened thousands of years ago.
There's a paywall, so I can't read the thing to see if there's anything actually new in there, but from the abstract it doesn't look like there is. I'm pretty sure we already knew that humans ate almost all of the megafauna, but if they came up with some interesting model to describe it that's kinda neat.
What isn't neat or interesting or meaningful or even valid is the silly prediction in the title. Here's some reasons why:
1. Most remaining megafauna is found in places where humans have been the longest. If we were going to eat all the hippos, it would have happened a long time ago.
2. You can't assume that trends based on what prehistoric human tribes did will continue over the next few centuries.
3. We stopped hunting megafauna for food when we figured out how to domesticate animals. Cows are the biggest thing we eat.
I didn't know banks charged for cash deposits (ridiculous), but I do know that the likes of Visa and Mastercard charge transaction fees. That's why your local convenience store probably doesn't accept cards for purchases under $3.
And while I realize it's easier for someone to point a gun at you and take your cash than it is to steal credit card transactions, how often does that really happen to the average restaurateur?
The audit began in February 2015. In 2014, Facebook changed their API to remove the feature Cambridge exploited. In late 2015, Facebook realized what Cambridge had done.
So it doesn't look to me like the auditors weren't doing their job, it looks like they did their job, helped uncover what happened, and were still able to give Facebook the thumbs up because they had already fixed the problem months before the audit began.
Everyone that isn't a Western democracy that is. I don't see any Russian or Chinese companies listed, just the ones that could help us fight back against them. Whose help we may desperately need.
That would be awesome, but I don't think there's a way to do it without a powered receptor and emitter setup, which just won't fit into contacts yet. You'd need a material with nanoparticles that fluoresce when exposed to IR, but only when there's very little visible light. It might be a little easier with UV if there's a material that could slow down the incoming waves enough to red-shift them into the visible spectrum.
Vinyl is the best analog format around, but what's the point when it's the only analog component? Everything between the mics/instruments and the vinyl is digital, so is there any real advantage?
Southeast from Tokyo, East from the next closest part of the archipelago, but yeah it's pretty far out.
The worst situation would be if the find was in Japan's part of the Sea of China as China has claimed all of it and would try to exploit the find. That could get out of hand very fast. With the find being as far as it is from anything China has tried to grab, I expect they'll try and get permission for one of their companies to mine it, be denied, and eventually try to buy whatever company or companies do start mining it. In some regions that would work, but I don't expect Japan to allow it.
I had a similar thought - if Japan found rare earths in the Sea of China, China would claim them and things could go downhill rather quickly. However, Minamitori Island is over a thousand kilometers to the East of Japan, putting the find well out of China's grasp.
Could be worse, my mom took a copy of Blood Sugar Sex Magic that I had borrowed from a friend. He got it back in the end, but it was very embarrassing.

Short people.
I mean, it's an April Fool's gag, right? It's too absurd to be real.
For example, putting anyone who uses the phrase, "life hack", into a coma.
Does that bypass or defeat DNSSEC?
Hooray for this story! Now, it's time for my morning dump so I'll be proving them right.

Or do they get a pass because nobody cares?
I believe the relevant term is "caveat emptor". It has been the guiding principle of commerce for millenia.

Great idea. I'm sure it can only turn out well.
It may be a bit off-putting to see someone's irises turn black, no?

Well, I finally beat Skyrim so I couldn't use it as the direct example anymore. That said, Fallout is great, you suck.
Right?
