Chondrolaryngoplasty (commonly called tracheal shave) is a surgical procedure in which the thyroid cartilage is reduced in size by shaving down the cartilage through an incision in the throat, generally to aid men and women who are uncomfortable with the girth of their Adam's apple.
I swear the only time I ever hear about fox news is from people who claim to hate it who just randomly bring it up in conversation. It's as if they watch it all the time so it's always on their mind every time they want to talk about any given subject.
Some meanings are lost in translation because the target language has no analog to what you're trying to say. Not even the best interpreters can work around this problem when it occurs in some cases.
That said, I highly doubt a computer program could either.
To claim that there's a significant number of transgender people out there like this is simply ridiculous.
I've only encountered 3 in my life, and two were from people I know who had the exact situation I described happen. I think for both it was just kind of a date that didn't last longer than a few minutes.
Tip: look for an Adam's Apple.
That's just cartilage, isn't prominent in all men (and is even prominent in some women) and even failing that it's not terribly expensive to have trimmed. Considerably less expensive than a boob job and even less expensive than bottom surgery.
In my actual experience, hand size is the biggest giveaway, followed by voice, and occasionally you see that their breasts look too far away from their shoulders (because their shoulders are too broad.)
I remember going to this bar and this tranny with really big tits walked by, but then he spoke as I watched him grab his drink and my first thought was "no."
Neither hand size nor shoulder width are terribly apparent in pictures though. I guess it's like buying a used car that looks good in the picture, but when you get up close to look at it, it has a shitty paint job.
I'm going to be 100% honest here and say the situation shown in that video has never applied to me. When my phone beeps or rings and it isn't already in my hand, I don't bother with it, even when I'm not driving (probably because 99% of the time those beeps ore rings are events or people that I don't care to deal with right at the moment.)
That said, I use my phone the same way somebody would use a map or a GPS unit that is sold for the express purpose of being used while driving.
So a dedicated GPS unit is ok (I mean shit, they actually sell them as standalone devices intended to be used while driving,) but using my phone for the same purpose is not?
I don't really get this. I'm a heavy smartphone user but I've never walked into people if I use my phone while walking. Is it just that some people put priority of what their hands are doing way above that of their spatial awareness?
I'd venture to guess that it's those people who also get into car accidents when their phone is in their hand. I've used my phone while driving (typically to look up directions) but my eyes never leave the road for more than a quarter of a second (e.g. just enough time to push the voice search button.) When I heard that most people take their eyes off of the road for up to 5 seconds...egad...though I think those people are just as likely to get in a car wreck while trying to tune the radio (and I've watched people driving take about that long to fiddle with a radio, and shouted at them afterwards.)
Unless the "female" you've been talking to is actually a male and has themselves convinced that you'll accept them anyways once you get to know them.
I've seen this happen on more than one occasion, and oddly enough the gender changer wonders why they get a violent reaction because they have themselves convinced that the whole world thinks your actual gender is just whatever you decide it is.
I know what you're saying, I just wanted to rant about gold as an investment. I keep hearing about gold is doing x or y and why it's a good time to buy, but truth be told it's never a good time to invest in gold. You only buy gold if somebody makes it into some kind of trinket (or coin) that you fancy having just to have it.
Other than that, gold is for hucksters and I do my best to point that out every time I hear about it.
Newer versions of Android (I'm wanting to say 4.3 or above, but I'm not certain) allow you to disable those, which includes removing the icon for them and making sure they can't run. Open the app drawer, long press and hold the app icon and drag it to the "app info" (or sometimes just a lowercase i in a circle) and release. On that screen, tap the "turn off" button.
If you want to remove the app entirely (so that it doesn't use up NVRAM space) then you can use something like Titanium Backup, but you have to be rooted for it to work.
You can also remove Youtube and Maps, but doing so will probably break other apps (part of the video playback api is included in the youtube app, and any app that uses map services like Endomondo or Gas Buddy will not work if you remove Google Maps. The same is true of any app that uses the sync service API if you remove the gmail app.)
They have to provide Google with personal information which could have been sold instead.
Even if you play it that way, you're still proving my point. If Google didn't figure you using those services into the price of the device, then they would charge the OEM for licensing the Android trademark, which means the manufacturer would charge you more money for the phone.
Now if you could use the device without creating an account with Google there would be no additional charges.
You can.
When you receive a new Android phone it asks you to sign in, but you're allowed to skip that step entirely (there's a button for it.) You're then free to make calls, run apps, etc. So yeah, you very much can use the device without creating a Google account.
You won't be able to download apps from the Play store, but you'll be able to sideload your own apps if you want (to include downloading the f-droid app store, Amazon app store, etc.)
Because Google provides Android free of charge (including a free device approval process) under the model that they'll make money back from people using their services.
So you are going to bury your money in gold because your paranoid? Congrats, you are now possibly losing the 5+% interest you could have been making in the meantime.
Even shitty investors know that gold is a shitty investment. The only people that make serious money on gold are the ones who pay people minimum wage to spin those "we buy gold/compramos oro" signs, melt jewelry/false teeth/unwanted bullion into other bullion, and then sell it on those gold pimping commercials. And those people only sell it to A) old people B) people who are convinced that the world could very well end any day now and need it "just in case" only to later sell it at basement price.
I've never really seen that. Wall Street lost their ass in the housing crash, and so did the banks. People like me who sold a house during the bubble were the ones that profited (that, and companies who built new houses.)
People who flipped houses during the bubble tended to have lost as well, I personally know of one investor who lost some 6 million dollars buying and selling houses in that time period. Though some came out on top, it was pretty rare.
Wall Street also lost their ass in the dot com collapse. The money went from the Wall Street investor's pockets to everybody who performed services for or sold goods to one of those dot com companies until the investment money ran out.
The tricky thing about bubbles is that they can be difficult to spot, even by seasoned investors.
Though to be brutally honest, I think Facebook is more "overvalued" than Uber. Unlike Uber, they don't have any actual paying customers besides ad revenue. Being an ad revenue only company is what got a lot of the dot com companies in trouble in the 90's.

What are you defining as hackable? Just pulling a string of numbers from it? Because none of these demonstrations have successfully performed a transaction that was capable of bilking somebody out of their money.

Perhaps it's no coincidence then that I have and use one of those. I got mine for about $10 on Amazon.
No, it's not
What?

Oh and you've prompted John Chen to write another letter to Congress.
You just made Steve Ballmer throw a chair in disappointment.

What's difficult is predicting when the bubble is going to pop
That's why bubbles are tricky. Often times you'll see something that looks like a bubble, and instead of popping it turns into a long term trend.
You dont think people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos made that money?
And you know what both of them have in common? They each run at least one business that has a viable revenue model, and a damn good one at that.
I've never really seen that. Wall Street lost their ass in the housing crash, and so did the banks. People like me who sold a house during the bubble were the ones that profited (that, and companies who built new houses.)
People who flipped houses during the bubble tended to have lost as well, I personally know of one investor who lost some 6 million dollars buying and selling houses in that time period. Though some came out on top, it was pretty rare.

Well aware of that.

Good to know.
