why? cuz smoking is gross and nasty and smelly. I want to actually enjoy the food that I'm paying for, not to have everything taste like an ashtray. The same goes for both tobacco and MJ.
We're in an era of rebirth, where we have finally liberated our noses and taste buds from 300 years of oppression of somebody crumpling up a plant leaf and smoking it over your dinner plate.
remember when they used to allow smoking on planes? I do? they did it on international flights. The last few rows were "smoking rows", and they even put up a handy plaque to denote the dividing line.
For instance,/r/math is for the discussion of mathematics, not for getting help with your math homework. Posts asking for homework help should be removed, and those posters directed to/r/learnmath or/r/cheatatmathhomework.
OMG this brought back some good memories. I used to participate in the yahoo questions boards. Many questions were kids who were just posting their math homework online. I used to give them thoughtful thorough write-ups that resulted in the wrong answers. Man, I had a lot of spare time...
How is censoring them holding them accountable? And on a website where there are subreddits specifically designed to let women attention whore their bodies for men?
what is the name of the subreddits of which you speak?
Regardless of your obvious bias against Uber, if said non directly employed third parties and/or passengers enter into agreements (e.g., TOS, etc.) and then purposefully violate said agreements, Uber is justified in trying to combat said violations.
the gp isn't arguing against uber trying to combat the fraud. s/he's only suggesting that we all tamp down on the moral outrage, especially considering that uber itself has been known for its rapacious practices/"disruption".
I don't have the necessary data to say if the Chinese are or aren't more unscruplous(or, as an intermediate possibility, have a different distribution of unscruplousness, so westerners are surprised to be shivved in the back by manufacturing managers rather than financial services assholes, say)
I think this is the key point - many throughout the world and throughout history would be shocked at the Gordon gecko-like avariciousness of demolishing a company to sell the bricks in the wall, or bankrupting an entire country in order to profit off the spread, or other acts that we consider not just "just" but also "necessary for a functioning economy."
if another culture is applying the same maxims in different areas of business where we are used to a more collaborative or respectful approach, then maybe we should cut back on the moral outrage.
I had also have significant experience (PhD researcher) in some narrow topics that are frequently discussed in ask science. I've never been forceful enough to get banned, but I did stop contributing because the 6th grade understanding always trumps the nuanced answers, often in a rather hilariously aggressive way. I see that a lot here as well. Non experts also generally fail to understand the dynamism of their topics. I deal enough with this in the real life, what is the purpose of further subjecting myself to this in an environment where I have nothing to gain?
I dealt with a similar thing on Wikipedia. a couple of the articles are within my domain of expertise. on one or two occasions I attempted to invest a little bit of time in making the articles better through additional text, citations, corrections, etc. Everything was immediately reverted by others. I could go to the mat on something, and argue in the talk pages on why my content is valid, but why bother? I have actual stuff to do.
(caveat - we already do https and IPv6 so it's not a problem, but might be for others like John Hopkins)
I don't know who John Hopkins is. Does he work at Johns Hopkins?

yes, the os is free, but you can only download it by buying a computer or having owned a computer. then there's lock in because anything you do in el capitan also needs to be done on a computer

here's a refinement: they finally fixed the shift key in ios9. by default, all the keyboard letters are lower case. when the shift key is engaged, all the keyboard letters are upper case. makes sense! this was sorely needed.
My fear is that they keep adding complexity of different offscreen features and gestures. A big point for ios was that it didn't come with a user's manual because it was so simple and intuitive you didn't need one, but I feel like we're a stone's throw away from the dummy's guide for ios.
I thought they made a really compelling argument for Apple Radio. They are pushing on the idea of a distinction between radio and algorithmically-driven playlists. Of the role of a djay in curating music and placing it in a cultural context. On the very notion of pop music not as a pejorative term but as a dimension of our shared experience.
Ok sure, I'll bite, at least for the trial period. $10/mo sounds expensive, tho.
It is not used interchangeably. In informed debate, the proper usage dwarfs the improper usage. I'm merely doing my part to keep/. a place for informed debate:)
How is it different? Other than the fact that the people whose criminal actions he exposed have the ability to kill anyone they want without consequences.
Severity of the crime, for one. Severity of the punishment, too. One is a civil offense and the other is a criminal offense. Pound-you-in-the-ass prison.
i didn't try the second one, but I tried the how old and it was pretty neat. MS has some smart people at microsoft research, and the PHBs seem to be doing the right thing and giving these people latitude to do their own thing their own way.
It depends on if you prefer to listen for the hottest artists are you prefer to listen for the back catalog. I do a lot of back catalogue genre and live music listening, so the ebbs and flows of hot artists to hot services don't really impact me.
btdubs, TS didn't pull from Spotify to go to tidal, she pulled from Spotify in order to boost her CD sales and other paid channels. She had wanted to do a deal with Spotify where her music would be available on the paid service but not on the ad-supported service, but they didn't go for that.
I think apple is a little late to this. They tried apple radio a couple years ago and it didn't work. insider interviews confirmed that the point was not to get people to listen to the radio, but rather to convert people to buy the songs from itunes. this was patently transparent. At the time I started using pandora and paying $4 through the app store subscription. I have a dozen really cool stations that I have curated through dozens of thumbs up / thumbs down / song seeds. I would need to see something really compelling tomorrow if i'm to be convinced to try something else, let alone in addition.
I rip my CDs to a non-DRM digital format. I can play them on my phone, on my computers, on most DVD players from either disc or from flash, and even on some car stereos that support mp3 from CD or from flash.
some cars even have built-in cd players so you can insert the entire cd instead of needing to rely on a flash drive.

of course they'll bill for the trips to the john. I'm a consultant, and I do that all the time. You think I have a billing code for "trips to john"?
I prefer the rooted Android solution where ads are blocked in the hosts file.

He didn't violate ann da, he violated laws about leaking classified information. Big diff.
No, we outsourced Otto our besties - GCHQ, Canada, Australia, NZ -- the Five Eyes -- as well as Israel. We then trade info, and it's all good.
