Is there any evidence that there was anything untoward going? Sharing a duration at a university is not a noteworthy relationship and reeks of politicized bullshittery.
No need to personally apologize for our disgracefully inefficient and inane method of protecting ourselves from incredibly low risk threats in our air travel industry. It damned sure isn't your fault.
I think that's a valid argument. However, sometimes when I'm low on petrol I'll pull in to what seems like a ubiquitous gas station and after I enter my credit card, a speaker suddenly starts blaring advertisements at me. I feel like my urge to yank out the speaker wire is justified by the obnoxiousness of the advertisement. I fear something similar is what's coming to shelves near me.
Psychopath is a pretty strong word to describe a minor act of rebellion. I'd say it's "normal" if not rational to rebel in some way against the ever encroaching attempts at manipulation and control.
I love how everyone that isn't required to run the government for a week is suddenly expendable. Shit, I haven't had a fire in years in my house, dunno why I'm paying for a fire station.
it's almost impossible to manage several employees remotely.
I honestly can't fathom how this can be the case. How hard is it to have basic metrics to balance against weekly status reports? I don't see how physical location does anything to create accountability for one's work output, and is no substitute for management.
I think this is a prime example of the vastness of the software development field. When I first started coding, the same argument was made about being able to write a compiler, and yet I'm expected to know this and a litany of emergent platforms, patterns, languages, and development environments. Lets face it, 95% of development is lego binding, and most of the time the pieces just have to fit together well enough. That modest performance gain you will get from your intimate knowledge of sorting algorithms will be much less important than whether your code is functional, concise and maintainable for the majority of programming jobs out there.
That's some fine mental gymnastics. Conflate consumers and customers, equate an personal information to currency, finally pretend advertisers give two shits whether the consumer likes the product. Could you explain how I'm the customer of road advertisements as well?
When you say the FBI "asked" for real time metadata, did they have a warrant?
Regardless, the jump from "you're not doing what we ask" to "we get to install a black box on your network and spoof as you, trust us not to abuse this" seems excessive if not absurd as lavabit's core business is centered around privacy. It would be like a safe company being required to issue a key to every safe they've ever made to the FBI because they wouldn't hand over a single purchaser's account information.
Absolutely agreed on the comment filtering. I instantly left as soon as I realized I was reading every inane comment by an AC and couldn't find a way to filter. That's a dealbreaker.
The problem you mention does not seem intractable. Getting an average of the trades from the last interval would give me a good idea of what to bid/offer on the next round, and some semblance of honest brokerage would prevent the sort of millisecond gaming you mention, a hell of a lot better than the crap shoot I have right now where timing a buy is like pinning the tail on a bucking mule. Synchronized resolution of bids/offers at intervals with some sort of equitable resolution for bids ranges seems quite do-able to me.
I don't think the word start was ever intended to be reflective of all functions of the machine, but rather a starting point for beginners. I've always wondered how people that are troubled by this phrasing manage to close their cereal boxes after reading the phrase "---open here--" on the top.
I watched that video, and Smoot-Hawley most certainly did _not_ cause the great depression, nor did Sowell say that. Most economists seem to agree that the act helped prolong the great depression, but that is a far cry from the cause. The economy doesn't heal from black tuesday after a few months and then suddenly get taken down by an overzealous tariff. Next you'll say that the cash for clunkers caused the recent recession.
that's why you use a short honk for a "heads up" notification and longer blast for "decon 3" emergencies; the same way many cars beep when you lock them but blare when the care alarm is set off.
I think intent and specificity would have to come into play, or providing any service to the public could be treason.
it's easy to give in to vague threats from the govt, but if HSBC can get away with targeted money laundering for terrorists with a nominal fine it's harder to make the case the government would follow through.
However, just to be sure, I'm not paying taxes anymore. I'm feel reasonably assured that some of the tax money will get into terrorist hands, and I don't want to be a traitor.
That's fucking stupid. Is calling someone a dick then a gender specific derision that gets you similarly offended? "Civilized people" (there's a loaded term, hope you weren't saying that to someone of color) don't get offended by what random schmoes (see what I did there?) say on the internet.
If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had he right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony
(3)A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
Regardless, the jury instructions included the specific language of the law, it _did_ enter the courtroom, and may have affected the outcome (though I doubt it).
Disclaimer: this statement does not remotely endorse any of the drivel written by publiclurker above.
It's fairly easy to cherry pick scenarios in most "rights" we assume where the outcome is not what those defending it would prefer; for instance, the right to bear arms and accidental discharges killing children or right to free speech spreading hateful ideas. This hardly negates the underpinnings on why the rights are important, or why they exist in the first place.
I think the most interesting twist on your scenario would be if the would-be mother was strickened with a horrible disease that would cause unbearable pain, and wanted to euthanize herself. Does society have the right to to tell an individual he or she _must_ endure agonizing pain for the sake of another? To what extent does it have this right?

You're mixing your metaphors. You can't eat your carcass and pillage it too.

I really don't get your point on the 2nd amendment. Why are you juxtaposing arms from different eras?

Stock shows to be down 9% since Whitman was named CEO Sept 22, 2011. What are you talking about?

Ah yes, good thing physics is a more pure disciple than math. There's a PE license for software development, in case you really weren't trolling.

Ah, hell, I see what you mean. I never saw the newer statute that was being referred to as the SYG law. My mistake.
It's specific language of the law, full stop, with the defendant's name interjected. From the transcript from the jury instructions as recorded (page 12):
If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had he right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony
The actual law 776.013(3)
(3)A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
