Or, with all of the screaming of "racist", "fascist", "sexist"... people did searches to see if anyone was actually saying racist, sexist, or fascist things. Since the accusations had no validity in context you just have a spike in search history.
"convinces people to do things not in their best interest by lying to them. He puts on a good show and gets people to have confidence in him, and then produces zilch."
You do realize that portion of your statement thoroughly applies to Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama as well, don't you? Both have proven to lie to the populace for self serving reasons over and over. In the case of Hilary Clinton, it is a 30+ year track record of questionable ethics and lies.
The major carcinogen in cigarette smoke are fractions of the tar included. Somehow I have the sneaking impression that the DNA damage purported in the cited study is of a very very small statistical proportion.
Having actually seen the lab and the protocol where the original "smoking causes cancer" study I remain skeptical. The original study loaded a whole pack of cigarettes at a time and put the effluent of them into a fish tank where lab rats lived. Yeah, the equivalent of six packs of cigarettes a day caused cancer.
As to vaping; what I'm also skeptical of is whether there are any health effects to sucking anti-freeze vapor into your lungs. (Propylene Glycol is food grade, non toxic, anti-freeze used to weatherize RV potable water systems. It can be used in a car as well if you want to pay the higher price for "eco friendly" anti-freeze.)
I have this sneaky suspicion that the survey was wrongly worded. The majority of people have as much regard for Twitter as they do for shoe buttons. People aren't tired of Trump's tweets but are tired of media wonks trying to sell the idea they actually have relevance.
You go to loading ramp check in of electronics. The danger is less of gorilla handling of your baggage and you don't have it in the cabin.
Yep, backtracking to the 90s when a laptop in a bag was a hard fit in the cabin bins, there was no in flight connectivity, and the batteries would only actually last half way through a two hour flight.
The key word and tricky phrase is "employee at will". You can be laid off for any reason whatsoever and it is commonly "reduction in work force". Not it is a "lay off" which can be done at any time for any reason or no reason at all. "Firing" is "termination for cause" and you have to have a legitimate reason.
For the individual suddenly without a job; the difference is significant. If you are "fired" you don't qualify for Unemployment Compensation or government supported unemployment services. If you are "laid off" you get to draw unemployment.
Odd, all the measures mentioned have been in effect if you want to get a work visa for a U.S. Citizen to work in Canada for several years. Why is the media just now noticing that to get a visa for work or education travel you provide years worth of residence information and many more very intrusive hoops to jump through.
90 day tourist visas are easy. But, if you actually want to go to school or go to work; you have to prove you aren't a criminal or nut job.
In 1983; Tandy Corporation (Radio Shack was the retail outlet) had an 80% market share in desktop business computers and a 70% market share in home hobbyist computers. By 1990; they didn't make a computer.
What happened was one huge decision. In 1984; IBM offered the IBM-PC running a new operating system that was a rebranded Q-DOS called PC-DOS 1.0 sold by a new startup called Microsoft. The big boys at IBM actually effec up royally and releases a computer that overheated due to the huge chip count on the boards and an OS that might, if you were lucky, run for 15 minutes without crashing. But, no one ever got fired for recommending buying IBM. A mediocre OS became the standard overnight despite being a marginally performing system. What did Tandy Computers, Inc. do... canceled the TRS-280 project which would have given us a PC-AT five years early and decided to quite using their own design and try to make IBM clones. After a few years; they sold Tandy computer division to Asus.
Along with the decision to make IBM clones the decision was made to quite having other electronics built to in-house design and handle "name brands" putting themselves in direct competition woth K-mart, Sears, and Wal-Mart. And the hobby market was to be de-emphasized and not stocked in stores but available by special order.
Ignore and reject your original core market, quit manufacturing and become just another retailer, get rid of anything like knowledgeable customer service that would justify the higher cost of the business model...... if you are big enough and have actually profitable subsidiaries; it can take decades to kill your business. The Radio Shack franchise is finito. Another factor is the demise of thin film recording tape. For many decades there were only two manufacturers in the world for the actual recording tape media; BASF in Germany and Tandy in the U.S. Anyway, the Radio Shack I spent so many hours in back in the 1960s and 1970s getting pieces parts to teach myself electronics died in the 1980s. The terminal throes lasted until this decade.
A typical gross conceptual error as to time frame. Synthetic plastics became ubiquitous in the 1930s. Plastics from natural sources were made in the 19th century. The first patent on a synthetic plastic, Bakalite, was issued in 1906.
Since hospitals quit having formulating pharmacies and went to outsourcing for common stock items like sterile saline, sterile bicarbonate solution, and sterile distilled water; they have been at the mercy of third party suppliers. Such common items are really a low profit item for suppliers that they don't stockpile such.
The trend to outsource instead of having employees and equipment to do things in house has been working its way into industry since the 1970s. And a hospital is very much an industrial installation when you get down to daily operation.
Someone goofed pulling an instrument package out of the methyl ethyl nastiness of the tank farms and someone is surprised? Why do some people want to portray usual business at a cleanup facility as some sort of world devastating crisis?
Acid rain has been discussed as a problematic issue with air pollution since the 1970s. Nitrous Oxide and Nitric Oxide react with water in the atmosphere to become Nitric Acid. One of the huge objections to the first catalytic converters on automobiles was that while it removed the partially burned hydrocarbon fractions it increased the amount of NO2 that was put out in exhaust.
Vancouver is not a year round port. The Keystone XL pipline will tie in pipelines comeing down into Illinois with pipelines coming up into Oklahoma. Canadian companies want to foot the majority of the cost as it will give a year round market for their shale oil. It gives the U.S. oil companies access to more feedstock for the refineries.
Yeah, Canadian companies what to sell their product all year long rather than having to stockpile in the winter months.
And the tendency to conflate "degree" with "competent" has become a pervasive recipe for failure. A lot of that has to do with dumbing down public schools to the point that fast food franchises look for 2 year degrees to be assured that the employees can count change.
On the flip side; there are tons of jobs that do not require a college education to perform but only about six months of on the job training. But, in the last two decades; human resources departments have been requiring a four year degree even to get interviewed.
In the actual work environment; a new hire with a 4 year degree may take up to two years to get up to the level a non degree employee with five years on the job will have. And the 4 year degree person will require a higher salary due to the crushing debt load from the overly inflated charges for formal education.
What made the "verified" tag a derogatory one was when Twitter started pulling the verified tag from accounts for people who didn't follow mainstream liberal party line. It is almost like you have to be a rabid SJW to get and keep a "verified" tag. Whether an account is verified to be coming from the person they claim to be should bear no relationship to what is said on the account. Yeah, when being "de-verified" is a punishment for having counter culture opinions; it becomes a derogatory term.
Who would bother with Windows 10 mobile after the debacle of stopping support and and effectively bricking Windows Mobile 5 devices last decade. The seamless synchronization between Windows Mobile 5 and Office XP was wonderful. So they broke it.
I'm one of those curmudgeons that blocked flash for years. Flash was an excuse for eye candy masking bad html code. The demise of flash was really all the malware that used it.
Misconception... Costco does not make ANYTHING. The Kirkland brand name is based on locating competitive manufacturers that will make items at a discount for the Kirkland marque. The manufacturing company would be the one that infringed on patents, if any. But, as the manufacturer is probably in a third world country with very low labor costs and no reciprocal patent law; good luck finding anyone to sue for the actual infringement. The best to be expected is a court order banning sales of infringing goods.
Freedom from censorship by government is a right. Freedom from censorship in a social setting is a U.S. cultural meme that gets many people angry when it is trampled on. Corporations that try to squash free speech outside of their own workplace often show fiscal losses when it becomes public knowledge. When you denigrate the cultural values of your customer base; you pay... often you pay big.
I can see that shopping list of companies pulling adverts from YouTube. After all, most of them are companies that have been slam-dunked for regressive political support and anti employee policies on YouTube videos for quite a while.
Having advertising seemingly randomly assigned to videos does make for some hilarious juxtapositions... Like a Chevrolet Truck commercial that played on a video of the CEO of GM stating that now 7 out of 10 Chevrolets are made in China.
A vehicle mounted water cannon for non lethal riot suppression with an integral bullet shield to protect law enforcement officers and a flex seal at the bottom of the shield so that anyone on the ground cannot be carried under the vehicle..... only a total idiot would call this a "kiildozer: as it is visually obvious that this was designed from the beginning to be a non-lethal solution to major civil disturbance while protecting law enforcement.
Don't bait the clueless; they tend to throw tantrums and throw things and break ATM machines and store windows.
Instead of a reality check on whether traffic light cameras actually provide value in traffic safety the politicians that think they have some inherent right to the contents of your wallet lament lower numbers of fines. Typical.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, the cheap knock offs of the safety cans used at industrial sites leak and break very damned easily

High school math class uses algorithms.
Kind of time to check your definitions.
