Good post. How did you solve the time dilation issue where dates in posts are stretched and reflect relative time of the reader not the actual time of the poster?
He knew that presenting it in a certain way would enable him to sell the idea.
That doesn't make it a crime any more than selling lottery tickets is a crime. Except the chance of losing your money is higher when you play the lottery.
Selling "numbers" is a crime. It's only state sanctioned numbers game called "lottery" is legal.
BTW, you call chemistry "basic"? Why is chemistry of any practical use to anyone but anyone but a chemist? I can't recall a single instance in my life when I had to apply any sort of chemistry-based knowledge....
This whole thread is about "you need to know about computers because they are all around you" - but you can't see the obvious fact that chemistry is the study of matter, and everything is make of it including your computer? That's messed up.
they were certainly created, but they occur amongst BILLIONS of other events. Part of the magic of the LHC is to ignore all of this and focus only on the interesting EXTREMELY RARE interactions.
I wish the interactions of your fingers and the shift/caps lock keys were extremely rare.
+5 funny - people say A/C posts should be ignored. The fools.
K, I'm a big watch geek (I own several dozen watches; from timex marathon to gold Rolex datejust II) and I feel qualified to speak to this - "why offer the edition watches starting at $10k?".
This is apple signaling that they are serious players in the watch space, not just the smart-watch space. This matters because you want a serious presence at Baselworld, articles in "Watchtime" magazine, etc. That is the pathway to get your watches into boardrooms, 19th hole private clubs, and other elite status locals. And they display well, so even if no elite watch buyers opt in, they are still useful marketing tools.We'll see how it plays out, but I think this was actually a smart move by Apple.
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, saw "the wall" in concert in LA (1980 i think it was); but no way that was their peak. "Dark Side of the Moon" was their Zenith; even egomaniac Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull said it was more influential than Zeppelin II.
Back on topic, I think most adults gravitate to the music they listened to when they were younger; for obvious reasons. No need for the snarky "calcify" comment from the submitter.
I know that they are seen as giving the finger to authority, and perhaps the CEO really is an asshole, but taxi systems world-wide prey on those in need of a ride. being able to uber a car for a reasonable price is fantastic, and I personally am sick of being jacked for 125 euro from the airport to the hotel in a lot of european cities.
If you are a local, you know what transit to take or would know someone to call for a ride. But when you are a visitor to a city, you are victim to a lot of abuse, including shitty, expensive cab rides.
So he wants the cost per unit to be as big as his tax attorneys can make it look. All of the "it's so much per house, he's getting a raw deal" posts can stop now.
There are two sides here. The "laid off" worker is still a human being, and it may be that he will have a better career and life ahead than those left behind. To be treated with total lack of dignity at such a moment leaves an indelible impression; I know because it happened to me once.
So, what I am saying is that karma is a bitch, to treat those you are letting go badly will come back on those who perpetrate it.
Correct. The story is using a different use of the word troll as other point out.
I see this in car forums a lot; the troll will post up seemingly naive but insidiously wrong posts, usually with a username and pic of a woman. The old guys in the forum hit that bait like a large mouth bass.
She lost the lawsuit, which if you read the facts of the case, she had only a slim chance to prevail. (She had an affair there, they had senior partners who were women, etc.) Made it look like they let her go so she sued to get even, then lost. Now she applies dumb logic to the hiring process, which some could argue shows that she is the one with the sexist POV. Reddit board should dump her if they get the chance.
Because you are trying to balance reasonable security with some ability to manage all the stuff in your house, including locking doors and closing garages that your kids leave open. If you think of absolute security as a currency, you spend some of it to get the convenience of remote lock/unlock.
Some misunderstanding that I will do my best to clarity:
1. An ounce is that name used for english units of both weight and volume, but they are not the same. I think your second sentence has them confused. (So much better to use metric for these discussions!)
2. The developer claims that one ounce of (typical) booze and one ounce of his stuff contain the same amount of alcohol. This infers that he meant the volume unit of ounce, and that his stuff is about 35% ethanol, which would be the case for typical vodka for example. The balance in vodka is water, the balance in his stuff is some kind of sorbent.
3. Even though I agree the weight savings and concentration of alcohol discussion about this powdered stuff is mostly confusion, his basic point I think is that powder is easier to pack and carry and less likely to spill than a liquid form of alcohol (I don't necessarily agree with him, just trying to provide some clarity.)
Yes, you point out the facts of this; namely that typical strong alcohol at 70 proof is 35% ethanol. The balance is mostly water. This product is about that ratio of ethanol to some sorbent material that appears to go into solution if you add water.
If the legislature of those states who are alarmed just did a little homework, they would realize that this is much ado about nothing.
Common to most jobs etc., but as a read the attachments to TFA, I do feel that Amazon is really being heavy handed here with PT/Temp employees so shame on them. I buy A LOT of stuff on line, and Amazon, I will think twice before my next purchase from you.
A Final note to the "little guy" whom this may affect: these would be jury trials, and the jury would love to deny these BS antics from Amazon, and reward a counter suit for unfair practices with massive punitive awards. So take heart in that.
They would have been so much smarter to work a back-door deal with a partner country like Germany, with public "outrage" statements. Once Snowden was in Germany, they would have instruction on how best to lock down the situation.
You would think that professional politicians would be smarter with this stuff, sheesh.
Agree. I speak spanish and english - have family in Mexico. Whenever I go there, I find for the first couple of days that I'm thinking in english then translate to spanish in my head. After a couple of days I can think in spanish.

He wants to reprise his role as the base player for Spinal Tap.

Only SEEMs bimodal. The vast middle never talked about; only the extremes are commented on.
To all: life is short, so life it to the fullest every day. RIP Mr. Sandberg.

I was modding but your post needs commenting on:

Unexpected.

Very popular in that region.

Except that left-right are swapped in the reflection.
