That's right, backpedaling scumbag, move those goalposts and change your position on what unemployment means.
Ah yes, when you lose an argument, resort to ad-hom.
Unemployment, as defined by BLS, means people who are seeking work but don't presently work. That is the same definition I've always used, and the same one I've used here, so nothing has changed.
Those lazy basement dwellers are just plain inept, dude. They be living on Basic Income or some made up shit that doesn't even exist, straw man like whoa bro!1! All them losers should be more lucky and get jobs like you did. All they have to do is: be lucky!
Aww...did I strike a nerve? Well, from your moms basement, I'm sure you feel very empowered because nobody can touch you without going through your mom first.
TFA isn't clear on whether this is a Microsoft statement, or their own, but it seems to say that ransomware won't work simply because it won't run on the OS without being signed.
Good grief, why wouldn't you just FedEx the boxes to your new house and then drive there? That should have easily cost you under $800 even if you were moving from one coast to another.
Or even better, you could have carried those boxes in your car and spent under $400 for gas.
What, did you move your stuff by helicopter or something? For the sake of the world, don't ever give out business advice.
You first have to understand what that means, and what unemployment rate means.
People who are disabled and/or are otherwise on a dole system, people going to college, people who are retired, and people who aren't looking for a job at all don't count towards unemployment.
For the first part, over the last 30 years, the percent of people claiming disability has gone way up, even though we are now objectively healthier than in the past, we have better medical technology, and employers can't discriminate against disabilities.
And if you're paying attention, the boomer generation is reaching retirement age, so you're ending up with many retirees compared to other points in history.
And then of course, we have the basement dweller population, which is roughly 40% of the young adult population, and is currently at a 75 year high:
That's interesting, because I live and work in Phoenix, where all of the offers happened.
What's more, if you look at the BLS figures, out of the 388 major cities in the US, 308 fall at or below the natural rate of unemployment, and should therefore qualify as a so called hot spot.
Some of these cities are in the 1% range, which means there's a serious labor shortage in those areas, and none of them are the three you mentioned, in fact those three areas don't even make the top 50. And while the average wage in these cities isn't as high as the ones you mentioned, the cost of living is considerably lower, meaning that your purchasing power is very likely higher than those areas.
Just to give you an idea, Phoenix is roughly comparable to SF in terms of employment, and 100k a year is considered low income in SF, whereas in Phoenix 100k a year basically means that money is not at all an issue for you.
At any rate, I don't know about you, but I think 308 out of 388 being at or below the natural rate of unemployment isn't very few, rather it's a big majority.
Uh...what? We're currently below the natural rate of unemployment. If you can't get hired in this economy, you're obviously either looking in all the wrong places, or you're just plain inept.
I'm a millennial, and in my case, I got laid off from my last job a year ago, and I got three job offers within a month of being laid off, all three of which offered much more money than my previous job. Why? Low supply and high demand.
External changes in terms of where fatty tissue develops, chest and facial hair growth, height, and other gender defining outside figures, yes, absolutely before puberty does make a huge difference. However, the musculoskeletal system remains very much intact.
I don't think this is why Google releases beta software to the general public. The reason they do it is so that application developers can begin learning new API changes and additions, begin testing their own apps against newer versions of the OS, and if something that their app does triggers a new bug that was introduced, they can report it to Google for a fix before it goes live, and applying a fix becomes more difficult. (Google can't possibly test every single scenario that every developer encounters.)
I like how Microsoft labels win32 as legacy, yet even though their app store is 5 years old now, nobody uses it or the crappy apps it has. Likewise, Windows 10 S will surely flop because Microsoft's crap app ecosystem is wanted by nobody.
Microsoft also stupidly assumes that no zero-day exploit could ever rootkit the OS, whereupon it can execute any program it wants. Why do I say stupidly? Because in the last year alone, four exploits have done exactly this with Edge, which runs on Windows 10 S.
Right. When it's the content of a private meeting between the chief of the executive branch and the chief law enforcement officer, it's BUSINESS, not PERSONAL, and it is not Comey's memo to release.
Sure it is. When I make private business conversations, I'm allowed to talk to other people about them so long as it doesn't harm the business (i.e. divulging trade secrets, security posture, etc.) What Comey leaked did none of the above, and it wasn't classified either.
Does it make the president look bad? Yup, but that's not a crime by any definition.
I've watched BBC content before and I'm not really that into it, which I guess you can attribute to cultural differences. Meanwhile, domestic content here tends to be quite good. For example Game of Thrones, Lost, Married with Children, The Walking Dead, Black Sails, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1, Firefly, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Silicon Valley, are all among my all-time favorites.
No, we rejected the concerns because they were bullshit. We also pointed out that Gamergate's participants comprised of a large group that were harassing, at various levels, from dogpiling and other Internet obnoxiousness, to death threats and SWATing, women on the Internet, and then lying about it and pretending it wasn't happening.
What the fuck are you talking about? Brianna Wu was caught numerous times fabricating harassment against herself/himself. For example, he/she was caught red handed creating a sockpuppet steam account to harass and denigrate his/her main account to try to prove that gamers were bad.
Anita Sarkeesan wasn't much better, and her major crime was making a big shit about everything that was un-PC about gaming, in addition to way over dramatizing the actual threats made against her. Why do I say over dramatizing it? Because the FBI identified all four (yes, four) that made the vast majority of those supposed threats, and after their investigation they felt it was benign enough that it didn't warrant any arrest. And even if you want to argue that the FBI was just biased, she could have always filed civil charges against them, and civil charges have a MUCH lower burden of proof than criminal charges.
In addition to this, a few homosexual and feminist journalists (who themselves would have been just as big a target of gamergate) actually came forth on youtube and said that when they tried to investigate this for themselves, both Brianna Wu and Anita Sarkeesan started blaming them for being part of this giant conspiracy, and put their fans up to harassing them.
That said, both of them strike me as being just like the lady that harassed Hugh Mungus, and they're both just two assholes trying to assume some kind of moral high ground.
And I don't know about you, but every time I see females playing FPS games and MMOs (and believe me, I've seen hundreds, especially in WoW,) the male gamers never threatened them or made death threats even one time. Do they hit on them? Absolutely, but not because they're gamers. They do it because most of them are basement dwellers and think that because a female has something in common with them (gaming) that they have a good chance of finally meeting a real female.
Either way, this behavior isn't even slightly unique to gaming.
None of you had even watched a single episode of Tropes vs Women in Video Games
I did, and it was a huge orgy of pedantry. Essentially she argues that 8-bit games which wanted to tell a story with very limited resources available were evil for adding things like lipstick and bows to say to their audience that "this is a female". But this is because otherwise most people (even women) just assume that it's a male unless they see clear cues of otherwise. By the way, even female game developers did exactly this. The only way of avoiding these assumptions is to put specific cues in the games. Early games had no or very little story dialogue (you were literally controlling a low resolution sprite the whole game) so those cues were quite necessary. Even for later games she mentioned, like Angry Birds, also have a lack of dialogue, so they needed to add cues to specify gender. In other words, all of this isn't a form of bias, it's just done out of necessity.
Just to give you an idea of what I mean, have a look at pretty much any Anime cartoon. Notice how all of the characters appear white and have round eyes like Caucasians? Well when Japanese people watch these shows, to them the default person is a Japaneses male, and so even though these characters look Caucasian, the viewers in Japan see Japanese people. When they want to override that assumption and have their artwork say "this is a Caucasian", they make the character's nose look really big. Why? Because to Japanese people, white people have really big noses. For a domestic example, consider The Simpsons. Do you know anybody who has dark yellow skin? Even people with jaundice don't look that
You appear to be in violent agreement story of part of my post while ignoring the point in the first half. Would you like to try again?
No, I haven't. What I'm getting at is the term progressive is really vague, and ultimately labeling onesself as progressive is for one single purpose: Telling others that your opinions are unilaterally better than theirs because they are progressive, which I might add is perfectly consistent with the behavior of prohibitionists and nazis.

That's fine, but nobody buys it that way, opting for steam 98% of the time instead.

Potentially, but not necessarily.
Narcissists aren't awesome. In fact, deep down, narcissists such as yourself harbor a lot of insecurities. Hence, you compensate.
Ha. I've never yet seen an OTA update offered for any Android phone I've had.
It's common these days, particularly in Nexus/Pixel, Samsung, and HTC, who all provide monthly security patches.
With that in mind, if your phone is going slow with google applications, then it's probably a really old phone.
What kind of NAND chip do you have? A dorito?

Granted, not all of them don't work, but there's little reason to work if you simply don't need to. (*cough* UBI *cough*)

The actual maximum range for a .50 is more like 10km.
When its fired straight upwards? I really doubt that.

Last I checked, nobody ever guarantees the performance of pre-release software, up to and including release candidates.
Microsoft also stupidly assumes that no zero-day exploit could ever rootkit the OS, whereupon it can execute any program it wants. Why do I say stupidly? Because in the last year alone, four exploits have done exactly this with Edge, which runs on Windows 10 S.

Why do you think so many counterfeit products are sold on Amazon?
You really don't know that, to be honest. Sure, to you maybe, but to the masses? Jury is still out.
I have insecurities? Really. Then why do you always make big posts talking about how awesome you are? Compensating IMO.
Netflix is about $120/year. HBO varies.
