Oh if your flying floating fishy thing was lurking at the bottom of say... the Taiwan Straight or the South China Sea, waiting, just waiting; and had a choice between making an arial or subsurface - let"s just call it activity - that might be VERY interesting to the US Navy.
Wait! The conspiracy was successful in that it achieved its purpose. It had a good 40 year run of secrecy, until LBJ's tapes were released. It did not remain secret forever; however despite the low number of conspirators.
If they can get any of these guys (if any are up for re-election) to say it on camera...
30 second ad of normal people frustrated by the load screen while their streaming video has frozen, juxtapositioned with Senator X saying that they don't need faster broadband.
This case is about the share button, when you buy something and the court is getting its knickers in a knot about nothing.
In German culture, it would be crude and crass for someone to put that into their social media feed or send an email. The number of people who do this kind of thing is astonishingly small. That they actually felt the need to forbid it is the odd part. Then again, it should not surprise me that they'd mandate social norms. You are not allowed to give you kid a nontraditional name.
Let's presume that your editor is not doing something stupid and is configure to use a fixed number of white spaces in tabs and you are not doing something stupid in your git commits.
You've written an algorithm that does X. A year later, when you are no longer on the project, I have to look into that code to fix a bug or add a new feature. Or... a year later, you are still around and have to do it. Before making any changes, that maintainer is going to have to read through the code to understand what it does and how it works. If you used significant - and consistent - whitespace indentation to enhance readability, the maintainer has to devote fewer "brain clock cycles" to understanding your coding style and has more to devote to understanding how it works and what needs to be done. This means that the change gets done faster and with less risk of regressions or other bugs.
- If you are using such a style anyway, then semicolons at the end of lines are moot.
- If you are using such a style anyway, then curly braces don't add much either. At best, they are irrelevant. At worst, they get used to space out the algorithm in such a way as to make it less readable and increase cognitive load.
If you are not going to bother to write code that is easy for humans to read, then I don't want to be one of the people who has to maintain it. I'll take easy to read code over clever any day of the week, because at some point in the future - be it days, weeks, months or years later - someone will have to go back through that code and try to understand what it does.
Over the years, I've seen too much code where nobody understands how it works and won't touch it. Nine times out of ten, it was because of "obfuscation through laziness".
I thought Instagram is the duckface selfie social network. Facebook is where your old high school acquaintance posts his daily deranged political rants and slowly kills your faith in humanity and democracy, a little every day.
Ahhh... raging against the beauty of the free market! Its quite simple. Service is a transaction and the server makes a calculation of their time against the likely payoff. If you are a cheap tipper, then the time spent serving you forces them to incur opportunity cost; as they can't be serving a better tipper in that time. Your average waiter or cab driver may not use the language of an economist, but you can rest assured that they are making that calculation.
Or to take a game theory approach, with reviews, tipping is now a repeated prisoner's dilemma affair. Without reviews, the only strategy that the server can take is to cooperate and the customer is free to defect. With reviews, you are playing a repeated prisoner's dilemma with a generic waiter/cab-driver. It is well known what people do when playing a repeated prisoner's dilemma against habitual defectors; the only rational strategy is to defect.
Either way, it sounds like you are going to have to be less of an asshole to people in service jobs.
Pour vinegar into a bowl. Add a bit of liquid soap, to lower the surface tension. Place it next to the place where you have your fruit fly infestation and wait a day or two.
We're talking about the same country who got its ass kicked by vietcongs for at least two decades (while using Napalm). Ass kicked in Afghanistan by people using weapons the CIA gave them back in the late '70s when Brejnev invaded their country and IEDs..
Interestingly, this is is a time honored methodology for fighting against a much stronger force and is exactly how I would fight against the US, NATO, Russia, China, etc. if I were in a small country. Take to the hills, don't expose yourself to pitched battles that you will lose anyway and subject your opponent to death by a thousand paper cuts. Americans themselves successfully used this methodology against the British between 1775 and 1781.
The only real ways to fight against it are to either make yourself more popular among the populace than the resistance force (VERY difficult to do) or go full Ghengis Khan.
but was the only one to use them... Twice... Hiroshima August 6th 1945... Enola Gay...Little Boy...Gun Type 16kT. Nagasaki August 9th 1945... Bockscar...Fat Man...Implosion type 21kT.
Other designs were planned. We're talking about weapon testing... If the war wasn't over back in the old countries, they would *never* have dropped a nuclear weapon in europe.
So..... its the summer of 1945. YOU are Harry Truman. The war has killed, what 50 million people so far. The battle of Okinawa has just finished and it killed.... oh about 200,000 people. (about half being soldiers of the two side and the rest civilians). That was essentially the dress rehearsal for the invasion of Japan itself. You've just been told about these new kinds of bombs. What would you do? Try to finish the war off by using them and then bluffing the Japanese by saying you have a thousand (you don't. you have two) or go ahead with the invasion?
Slashdot was the place to get modded down for going against the hive mind, before Reddit made getting modded down for going against the hive mind cool.
This does not refute the GP. All of those 50 bling buttons are like a honey pot for bad designers. And if MS did not offer them? People would whine about them not being in.
I'm a product manager for an IDE. The tool offers no component for adding gauge graphics to the app being built. What do customers ask or? How do you think they'd react to "gauges are chart junk and you'll just use them to create design abominations"? So yeah, gauges are on the roadmap. *sigh*
Why should it be free? The infrastructure costs money and they have a right to make a profit on it. TV is not a necessity - if anything, its a vice - , so you can't even make an argument that it should be subsidized for the poor.
Nothing is free, ever! Even things that may look free... like say roads, schools and clean water, cost money. People like me pay for them. I pay a mountain of taxes; much more than I eve get back. I'd rather do that than live like a king in a third world shithole.
It is probably more insidious, given the nature of the allegations in Germany against the BND. Suppose you are a spy agency and want to spy on your own population, but are thwarted by laws about that pesky due process? No problem! Simply cut a deal with other spy agencies. "You spy on our people, because spying on foreigners is your job. We spy on your people, because spying on foreigners is our job. It all goes into the same database and no laws were technically broken".
Seriously, if I have a project where I can reduce development and maintenance costs OR use efficient design methods, then those efficient methods are not so efficient.
What about those of us who live in Germany and like it just the way it is or was.
I lose if Facebook ceases to operate here. I have friends and family spread all over the world; Germany, Sweden, the US, India, etc. and it was always a lot of work to keep in touch with everyone. Facebook makes this easy.
I also lose if people started to use pseudonyms. Have you ever tracked down an old friend, or been tracked down by an old friend via Facebook?
I think you are partially right. I’ll presume that when the insurance company manages to rid itself of the bottom half of its driver pool, its payouts decrease more than its collected premiums. In effect, the insurance company is defecting against its competitors by sticking them with the higher cost customers.

That's actually more mundane mechanics. ;-)

I use a German QWERTZ for everyday use, but when I'm writing code, I use a QWERTY as not having to use alt keys is a big bonus.

Somehow, I recall the deep ocean manganese fad in the 70's was a cover for snatching a sunken soviet sub from the Pacific floor.

Parent beat me to the comment. TEMPEST has been around since at least the 80's folks.

I suspect that the floor is for official marketing and the ceiling is the real marketing.
Since teenagers don't use Facebook anymore, because all of us old farts are there, this might be a way of trying to get the teenies back.

Setting egg timers and alarms. For that use case, I can skip over a lot of menu taps. For just about anything else, its useless.
