Sorry I don't know what these are. Unfortunately due to the sheer amount of gun violence in the US, most of it fails to make the International news.
The point still stands though, how would banning all international travel have helped in the cases of San Bernadino and Paris?
WhatsApp puts a small tick on the message to show it's been delivered, and another different coloured tick if the user has opened it. How is this annoying?
What's annoying is when you SMS someone and you have no idea if they've even received it...
and does anybody actively update their status?
You don't have to touch it. A lot of apps merely signal whether you are actively using the app at the time, or the last time you were online. No effort required.
Another irritating thing with WhatsApp is that I can't even hit send on a message when I'm offline (e.g. underground on the Tube or overseas with data roaming off).
Well if you could hit send on *any* messaging app or SMS, without service the result is the same.
My biggest problem with the default messaging app on my phone (iMessage) is that 1) it's Apple only, and 2) I apparently can't control when it falls back to SMS if the recipient is offline.
I gave up on Apple a long time ago. Too many things you can't do with your own device.
Easy: just like flying cars. And just as realistic.
Agree, and I can't understand how otherwise normal people can believe such bullshit will ever see the light of day.
There are so many unsolved issues with the concept it's not funny.
The human driver also provides a significant failure mode...
And some untested, unproven pie in the sky idea doesn't? You are comparing something real with something imaginary. These things don't exist, and until they do, you can't just assume the best case scenario to make your fantasy sound more appealing.
In fact this is by far the largest market. I needed to cut a steel pipe once. In 45 years I've only ever had to cut one steel pipe, and I'm too lazy to use a hacksaw. So I bought a $20 angle grinder and the job was done in 5 minutes. I'm sure there are millions of others out there like me, which is why there is a large market in cheap tools.
Maybe if Park Tool decides to get their head out of their ass, move tool making back to the US, and expand out of the bicycle market, that would be the ideal thing.
Ideal for who?
These companies do this because they have to survive.
I only use my tools occasionally so get the cheap as chips version (I have a set of $20 powertools that are still going 10 years later). I have friends that are tradesmen, they might have the odd quality tool, but a lot of the time they also use the cheapies, since is less of a hit when they break or are stolen (yes even the best tools still break).
So the market is in cheap tools. You can choose to get in on that market, or you can follow your pride and see where that takes you.
SMS doesn't have features like status, message read confirmation etc, plus Messaging Apps use data which is mostly free (if you find some free wi-fi - quite common), whereas SMS uses the cellular network and is expensive is a lot of places (not ideal for teens and young/poor people).
That only works when the enemy is a country with a standing army. When it becomes a rag tag bunch of civilians that it is now, the solution is not so simple.
The French have always been pro-America since the war of Independence, but this suffered a massive hit due to the awesome diplomacy skills of your previous President. You did say you're an ex-Marine, so maybe you've only experienced the post George W Bush version of the French?
1) Brainwashing is what parents -- and societies -- *do*. It's what makes societies continue from one generation to another.
Doesn't make it right though does it. It's why reasoning works so well, you can apply it to your own cultural norms and see if they actually stand up to scrutiny.
It is why more progress has been made with 200 years of reasoned-based decision making than 2000 years of belief-based decision making.
2) "Supernatural agency" appears to be an emergent property of our large brains. (IOW, it's *built in* to most people.) Religion follows from there.
And what follows from religion is reason. Like a tail, once you've developed to a certain point you no longer need it.
So make that evolutionary leap, or be confined to walking on all fours for the the rest of your life...
Just looking at the price history chart shows a crash at ~$1200 that never recovered, another at ~$900 that never recovered, another at ~$600 that never recovered, and now this week it's recently dropped from about $450 to $380.
I'm not sure if you like your money, but that pattern is unacceptable outside of gambling circles.
There is no hole, you have been brain washed into believing the religious bullshit.
The most moderate people are people who based their decisions on reason, not religion. The more of them the better off we all are.
It's no accident that Christianity got nice at the same time as the Enlightenment. This is when they lost their total power, and educated people started ignoring them.
I can't shake the feeling that the secularisation of society has left a large hole somewhere.
Crap. You've swallowed the moral compass bullshit hook line and sinker. Churches regurgitate the moral compass argument ad infinitum to hijack the moral high ground, but the fact is that the biggest improvement in human morality wasn't religion, it was science and reason.
Prior to the Enlightenment, the church had the same morals as ISIS does now. Even into the 20th century, the church was still committing horrific acts against the people. The Age of Reason and the separation of church and state are probably the biggest contributors to the increased quality of life in the world.
Seriously, fuck organised religion. If you need to believe in fairies to get by then fair enough, but religion as an organisation is just an invitation to corruption and abuse and should never be tolerated.
They help me a lot on other sites. I can't type, so bash away my thoughts on the keyboard, then go back and fix all my mistakes. There's usually heap of them so I invariably miss a couple, and it's not until I have submitted, go back and read my reply in the context of the parent post that I notice the mistakes I've missed.
So yeah, timed edits help quite a bit.

Isn't it? Why can't we just leave them alone and not allow them inside our borders?
Who is "them"? The most recent terrorist events (San Bernadino & Paris) were done by local citizens.

Cars can't really drive in bad weather either,
Have you ever been in a car? I have and they handle weather a lot better than a small drone.
Strange you say that since it is provably better than ever other economic option tried so far...
I might just need it once, or for very light use.

I said, "Yea, it sure would have been better if they just died off as children." sarcastically.
Citation? Seriously, what was the death rate of children from food allergies before every second person became allergic to something?

Will the US vision of a remote war work?
It had better, since the Chinese are already well under way doing the same thing.

Five years ago it was $16.
Two years ago it was $1000. Right now it is at $385
And in the last 3 months it went from $230 to $450 then down to $380. That sort of movement is unacceptable outside of gambling circles.
This is why you're wrong.
You didn't actually explain why this is wrong, you only explained how you plan to roll some dice to try and make some quick cash.
It always recovers, granted, to various extents.

Bitcoin's not going anywhere as long as folks are using it to buy drugs
Do people do this? I mean cash works, why stop using that?
sue the company on behalf of the braindead guy for millions
I'm no lawyer but I don't think you can just sue anyone of behalf of anyone else just because you feel like it...
How many people have died from water? Your argument is just as stupid...
Oh, some people are allergic to marijuana to the degree that smelling second hand smoke can kill them.
You could say something that's not an exaggeration
You should take you're own advice.
