Did you actually read the submission/question? Does it discuss one's every conversation? No it doesn't. It's talking about 401k, mortgages, bank accounts, insurance policies. Things that fundamentally are trivial and are part of everyone's life. Are these not things that a spouse should know about? So the question becomes is there information that one's family/spouse needs to know when one has dead that they wasn't relevant to them while one was alive? If it's something they need to know after your dead but "cannot" know before you're dead, then it's not privacy or secrets, rather it's just that your a douche.
Finally, if anything said here is exposing a lack of life experience it's your "cool headed" comment. One's 401k doesn't need to be attended to during moments of high grief. Nor does one's mortgage or insurance or email or laptop. They can all wait a few hours until your emotional state returns a little more to the mean. You'll remember to do all sorts of things that are part of life. Laundry and grocery shopping for example. You'll feed your pets. Because life goes on, even when really bad shit is happening.
How about you don't keep this secret life you apparently have? Just include your family in your life. It's kind of the point of having a family isn't it?
Who is comparing people to cars or houses? Not me. I pointed out that people do not have to buy care insurance, they merely have to demonstrate that they have ability to cover the damage they cause to other people and their property. This is normally done through liability insurance but could be done by placing a particular amount of money into escrow or establishing a bond.
Then I went on to point out that what the ACA has done is to turn insurance companies into cost shifting companies. Under the act you can pay out of pocket for annual checkups. Then when you find you have something that is going to be expensive to treat you go and buy the product formerly called insurance and then they are obligated to pay your bills. You don't even have to pay the tax as the IRS has no remedy for collecting the tax (no levies, no criminal sanctions.)
Is HCR the ACA, aka. PPACA, aka. Obamacare? If so then what you say is incorrect. If you do not qualify for a subsidy and you choose not to buy "insurance" under the act, then you are assessed a tax. That tax does not pay for your care. It goes to the government, not the "insurance" companies. If you become ill you then go and purchase "insurance", get treatment and then cancel your coverage until next time you are ill. If you have a medical emergency you just show up in the emergency room and get care just as you would have for the last 50 years.
No you don't. If you can demonstrate that you have the ability to pay in amounts similar to liability requirements you do not have to buy liability insurance (comprehensive, collision, etc. insurances are not required by the government but by your lender if you have one.) It's called self insurance.
Effectively what has happened here is that medical insurance has been removed from the USA and replaced with a third party administered government plan. Insurance is based upon risk and that has been eliminated by the ACA. In other words if you can buy it after you're sick/house has burned down/car has crashed it's not insurance but merely a cost shifting system.
What you're describing is tacky conspicuous consumption.
That's true. Us truly wealthy people prefer our consumption inconspicuous. Now that Larry has Lanai, I wonder how much the Big Island is going to set me back.
It's clear you've not even a passing association with the logistics industry. The shipper/buyer says "this is going to prohibited country x" and that's the end of the story. The item doesn't move.
If you have a problem with this then you should go talk to the US State Department, the White House, the governments of most western countries, and the UN. Don't bitch at someone who has to abide by the rules.
I have one of these and I installed boot camp. Once booted into windows and installing all the drivers, I find that it plays the games I want to play just fine. Supreme Commander runs O.K. at 2880x1800 and runs well at lower resolutions. Quake 3 runs absurdly well (700 FPS @ 2048x1536, trilinear filtering, etc.)
I know these are old games, but to suggest that it's completely inadequate is dishonest. It's about half the speed of a GeForce 560ti. Which is actually pretty good for a laptop.
I don't compress all of them right away because it's a pain...
You know, we have these things called computers. They are well suited for doing batches of repetitive tasks. Why don't you just have a directory where you drop your uncompressed content and have a script that, say during whatever times you are typically asleep, starts transcoding your content? You just rip it and forget it and a day or two later it shows up in your compressed video directory.
How do you know it's not, as it's definitely possible for software to break hardware by programming poor settings into the devices. Back in the early days of XFree86 it was possible to destroy monitors by improperly configuring your screen timings. It wasn't that long ago (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2008-09/msg00017.html) that a bad linux driver was killing intel e1000e nics.
Of course that means that you have the unencrypted password on the server side in order to compute the one-time salt+word concatenation. Not good practice.
So there's a list of 10 steps to install zfs and that's it? Didn't do anything? zfs/zpool upgrade -v? zvols? zfs send/receive? snapshots? rollback? Scrub? Performance tests? Compression? Encryption? Can I export my pool from my Solaris 11 SPARC system and import it into linux, make some changes and then move it? L2ARC support? Separate ZIL support? Case sensitivity?
I know this isn't exactly a great comment, but is it at all possible that someone make a judgement as to the value and truth of a submission before putting it up?
Plus it's not particularly reliable and only supported on a very small handful of cards. For example vmware 4.1u2 does not support passthrough of an nvidia geforce video card. That is, you can certainly configure it it just doesn't work in the guest. Things go very wonky.
The CO2 in our blood doesn't come from the atmosphere. It's a by-product of our being, you know, alive and moving and what not. The early astronauts (Gemini & Apollo) breathed high-oxygen content air for weeks at a time. I'd say 100% oxygen because that was the only thing they carried with them to breath, but as pointed out above, every time we exhale we add CO2 to the air around us.
His statement shows that James G. Beldock is either ignorant of his company's own technology or attempting to "dumb down" the description of the technology to avoid scaring the common folk. Either way, it says nothing good about him or ShotSpotter.
Or he knows the equipment and when he says "recording" he's talking jargon about the device that is understood by the company the built the device and probably the people who work with the device on a daily basis. And it says nothing good or bad.
Losing on your purchase is a risk you take. Having the exchange disrupt the flow of trading and pick which orders to honor and which not is not a risk one takes in the stock market.
If it takes an analogy, here's one:
You walk up to the black jack table and put down your bet. You then sit there and watch the dealer deal out hand after hand without ever putting cards in front of you. After several hours the dealer takes half your money and says you lost without ever having let you actually play a hand.
Did you even read my post? Your suggestion that I didn't execute my deals fast enough implies that you didn't.
I'm not complaining about gains or losses. I'm complaining about the fact that the exchange didn't execute trades promptly, didn't send confirmations and ignored cancellations. I submitted my cancellations over an hour before the trade was executed. I have a hard time seeing how that is my fault. Additionally when I finally did receive confirmation, I note that they executed the limit order at my price point, not at the market price at the time that the trade was executed. (Limit orders specify a boundary and should get whatever the market price is even if the price in the order is greater than the currently tendered offer to sell.)
I'm curious though, how long do you think a third party should be able to withhold trade confirmation and force me to hold a position? One hour? One day? One year? One decade?
Per Robert Greifeld (CEO NASDAQ OMX):
“We saw on a real-time basis, obviously with the pressure of the world upon us, that this was happening,” Greifeld said. “We then manually intercepted this cross,” he said. “That manual intervention said we had to ignore the cancels that came in between the raindrops as we were processing the trade.”
Additionally:
Customers of London-based Fidessa Group Plc, which helps asset managers track transactions, weren’t receiving confirmation of Facebook trades, according to an e-mailed statement. Michael Cianfrocca, a spokesman for Charles Schwab Corp. in San Francisco, wrote in an e-mail: “There are currently industrywide delays in reporting trade executions. These issues do not appear to be unique to Schwab."
Per my broker:
Trade confirmations were still being sent by NASDAQ through the weekend and into yesterday (Monday), which is why your trade confirmation time may be when the market was closed.
My gripe isn't that I lost money. It's that I had no ability to control how much loss I experienced. If things had been functioning properly, my order at $42.00 would have been executed within a few minutes of the opening trade and I would have received confirmation within a few minutes of that. Then throughout the day on Friday I could have chosen my time to sell. The exchange wasn't functioning properly and I shouldn't be penalized for that.
The SEC and FINRA are both investigating the IPO for reasons much beyond the complaints about withholding material information.
You're kind of ignoring the fact that the regulations require that companies make their financials and relevant information available so that people can do their research and make informed decisions. Exactly as in your car analogy. The complaint here is that they didn't make the relevant information available and thus people were unable to make informed decisions.
Personally I will consider a lawsuit over the FB IPO but not because of any disclosure issues. Rather it's about how NASDAQ completely screwed up the trading, ignored cancellations and failed to send out trade confirmations in a timely fashion. There were still people who had bid prior to the first trade on Friday who had not received a trade confirmation until Monday afternoon, effectively locking in over 10% loss. And for people who are waiting for NASDAQ to get their shit together and figure out which trades will be broken (due to ignored cancellations), those people are sitting on unwanted shares that have dropped 25% from the $42 secondary market opening price.
I placed limit orders on Thursday at $40 and $42. On Friday morning when the initial trades were delayed, I reconsidered and cancelled both orders. Come close of business on Friday my broker was still showing open orders. Saturday night I received one cancellation and one confirmation. The confirmation was executed two hours after I submitted my cancellations. If things had been working properly the $42 bid would have executed early in the trading and I would have been able to bail out when I reconsidered. Instead I had Friday's $4/share loss locked in.

Finally!!! My plan to create pop-corn-on-the-cob is coming to fruition.

That's why I said "third party". The third party is the companies that used to sell insurance. Now they just shift costs.
No you don't.
