That's self-defeating. More people renting botnets leads to higher demand for botnets which leads to people creating more botnets because it's lucrative. While there is a theoretical limit to the amount of hardware out there that can be recruited into botnets, we are pretty far from that limit so things can get a lot worse.
It's the same reason any civil society should ban paying ransoms to terrorists etc. While you may personally benefit, society loses because you are funding the problem.
"The numbers also were striking for their newborns - 92.4 percent of African-American babies and 66.1 percent of white infants were found to have insufficient vitamin D at birth." Source
It affects all mothers, but black mothers more. Scientific research supports that conclusion. I'll admit it was odd in this context to single out black mothers in the GP's comment (the schizophrenia link to vitamin d deficiency was the interesting part), but you'll have to provide an argument as to why it's racist.
These arguments are ridiculous. At a national level, doing or not doing many things will have at least some (mostly very minor) effect on death rates. That you can point to one particular area and say that a lack of regulation here leads to more deaths does not rationally promote the idea that the government wants their citizens dead.
You have no logical explanation because you assume your premise is true despite the plethora of more rational explanations which better suit the evidence. Immigration is allowed because the entire global economy is based on growth, and a shrinking population leads to an inefficient economy. Pot has been a cultural taboo for decades, but is becoming less so as more people become educated about it, and so restrictions are loosening. Tobacco has been a cultural norm for decades, but is becoming less so as more people become educated about it, and so restrictions are tightening.
TL; DR - Death is by design, backed by policy, because every government has a responsibility of resource management.
+4 interesting? Wow. So you're implying the government is killing off the locals to keep the population down? If that's true, why does the country allow so much immigration?
(2) You have small children or are accompanying a person who can't take care of their own stuff for some reason, so you're juggling a huge number of bins and bags and trying not to forget anything, while also trying not to hold up the line.
So much this. Friend of mine had an infant and a 3 year old along with carry-on bags. The infant was secured to her chest in one of those cloth-wrap things, happily sleeping. Upon arriving at the checkpoint, she was informed that she would have to remove the baby from her person so they could ensure she didn't have anything hidden between her and the baby. Utter fucking chaos ensues. Mother starts difficult process of removing the baby while also trying to keep track of her items which were coming through the scanner. Baby starts crying and she's then forced to place her on the floor since there is no where else, meanwhile the 3 year old is getting tired of waiting and starting to whine but the mother can't do anything because she's forced to stand there and be patted down. After that's all done, she still has to re-wrap the baby to herself while still trying to track all her things and the 3 year old. Very easy to forget something.
but he has thousands of followers and some of them are off the chain. Between the ones spewing all kinds of anti-muslim slogans and then the haters that come there to bitch and moan to Trump like he even cares what they have to say.
This seems to be true of most public figures with enough importance. Even Justin Trudeau's tweets are followed by many replies as described above. Twitter seems like a great place to make public announcements and inquiries, but any actual important discourse is guaranteed to attract more trolls than anything else.
Personally I wait until a game has been out for 15 years and is well reviewed before making a purchase. Currently I'm enjoying Everquest, now on it's 23rd expansion.
Would you rather they made easily disprovable claims that they can have it all done in 4 years? Changes of this scale don't happen quickly, and it sure as hell can't be paid for with only 4 years of government revenue.
We're all quite sure many advisors told him it was unwise because the information would hurt his campaign. Trump lied by either explicitly or implicitly stating the audit was some kind of impediment to the release.
Seems to me the main difference was that Sander's camp responded to Snopes' inquiry about where the numbers came from, which they looked up and generally agreed upon his overall point. Trump's camp did not respond to Snopes' inquiry, so they essentially had to guess on where the number came from and decided it was a misrepresentation of that data.
Actually, the geologists weren't predicting the earthquake, they were DENYING the earthquake.
Speaking of fake news, that is incorrect. The geologists were predicting the earthquake, and they said it was improbable but not impossible. A government official said there was "no danger" in an interview before actually meeting with the scientists, and the public accepted that statement as being the scientific consensus.
"A large earthquake along the lines of the 1703 event is improbable in the short term," said Enzo Boschi a member of the Italian Serious Risks Commission, during the meeting. "But the possibility cannot definitively be excluded."
After the meeting, the government held a press conference in which it told Italians that a major earthquake in the region of L’Aquila was improbable. And in a television interview, government official and hydrologist Bernardo De Bernardinis said that "the scientific community tells me there is no danger because there is an ongoing discharge of energy" during the seismic disturbances. That interview, however, was actually taped before the meeting on March 31st, and the statements made by De Bernardinis were false — tremors don’t release energy that would otherwise be implicated in an earthquake. But given its airtime and De Bernadinis’ authority, residents of L’Aquila who saw the interview were given the distinct impression that his comments were representative of the scientific meeting.
I believe that the coins can be purchased from EA directly (in addition to being slowly earned via gameplay). The "black market" is black because it's against the TOS for the game, and essentially means that EA loses money when players get their coins from that market rather than from EA (there are apparently dozens of sites out there). If the black market undercuts EA too much then EA loses more sales, and flooding the black market with millions of ill-gotten coins likely leads to undercutting.
This is just based on limited research... maybe an actual player could clarify. So is EA losing money? I would guess that the $17M could represent lost coin sales, since somebody paid those guys for those coins that they may otherwise have bought from EA. At best it is unauthorized use of their servers or possibly a breach of TOS, which I guess in the US is equivalent to whatever crime the writer of the TOS wants.
From a player point of view, having automated generation of in-game currency leads to market inflation and essentially leads to items being priced out of your average player's range. However since EA is selling the currency themselves and making the goods scarce (it seems that certain player purchases used to be auctioned) I don't feel bad that someone is pissing in their pond.
The Liberals never planned any surplus if they came to power, their campaign firmly stated they would increase short-term spending. The fact that the Conservatives campaigned on their intent to have a $6B surplus doesn't magically mean there was $6B on the table that the Liberals came in and swooped away. Also that $6B figure also included amounts that didn't exist in reality, like legislating away public service sick leave (which would have gone to court) and claiming it magically put hundreds of millions of dollars in their pocket.
Yep, I agree. The concept is interesting, though the fact that it's a kettle puts it on the lamer side of voice assistant topics, but it really is the article itself that is awful.
I was mostly annoyed because I took the headline literally. I assumed there was some kind of hilarious bug and his kettle wouldn't work and he woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of his kettle whistling. Or something. But no, he just spent 11 hours coding coding support for something. Honestly I really like the idea of voice assistant products and the kind of things that people might do with that, but this article (not the original tweets) just has the lamest spin.
That's interesting, I had a rather opposite opposite experience with a doctor. Last year my infant son was diagnosed with strep (after throat swab) and went on antibiotics. Three days later, my wife and I went to the doctor because we also had strep-like symptoms, and the doctor had us take throat swabs also. My wife tested positive, I tested negative. So she got antibiotics and I got nothing. 2 weeks later my wife and son are healthy, and I am still suffering from worsening strep-like symptoms. So I went back and saw a different doctor, and told him my symptoms and my family's diagnosis. He didn't even bother examining me, it was fairly obvious to him that I had strep regardless of the original lab result. I got my antibiotics and was healthy several days later.
Sadly it's not just Americans either. This started up in Canada a few months ago. The fact that people were getting duped was all over the news, and in some publicized cases they actually got a person to do it multiple times.

Stevia's taste is only awful if you compare it to the real sugar it is replacing. It is far better than aspertame.

She shouldn't be thrown in jail anymore than the senders of those emails.
So you agree that they should all be tried then?
Cue Hogan theme song... "I am a real American..."
or if I wanted always winter I'd go to Canada.
If you want always winter, we don't want you up here. We hate winter. It's why we're so nice - we use up all our hatred on the weather.
Too bad you don't live up here, you could have had one of these.
