I had the opportunity to compare backup cameras in a 2014 Subaru Outback vs. a 2014 Honda Odyssey. The Honda's was overwhelmingly superior: larger display monitor, far higher resolution, MUCH better night vision, and the ability to switch between three separate camera views, including an "over-the-curb" camera that let me accurately measure the number of inches between the rear bumper and obstacles near it.
If I had only ever saw Honda's backup camera, I would have assumed that all backup cameras were awesome. If I had only ever saw Subaru's backup camera, I would have assumed that all backup cameras were built in the 90's.
Ask any/. member who's not a parent - they'll tell you that what you're doing is BAD parenting!
You need to be watching every second of every minute of what your kids are doing. What if one of the kids uses the remote to change the channel? You need to make a custom remote for them that only has one button. What if your kids have a question about something they're watching, or oh my gosh, what if they misunderstand something or misinterpret something? You have to be right there, hovering over their shoulders, to make sure they don't turn into terrible people. What if your neighbor sneaks into your house and slips some adult-related content onto your flash drive? You wouldn't want to subject your kids to that, and we all know how many predators there are hiding in every bush and just waiting to permanently warp the minds of your precious young children.
Better yet, why are you letting your kids watch electronics at all? We all know that's the tool of the devil, used to churn out lazy, mindless morons who don't contribute to society, or worse yet, watch too much PBS and become SJWs. Why not make your kids read a book? But not the wrong books, you should look over their shoulders and read every page they're reading, to make sure they're not putting a "My Little Ponies" book cover over a book with more salacious themes. But wait, why are you letting your kids have any entertainment time at all? As a parent, you should be supervising your children 24/7, and you need to make sure they're doing something productive like homework all the time. As any non-parent/. member, they'll tell you how to do it.
Amonst other things, Danmore said that women in general are more prone to neurosis.
You will disagree, because that statement is politically incorrect. It does not matter what the actual evidence is. We deny what we do not want to hear.
Conversely, how would you feel if someone stated, "Scientifically speaking, people who espouse the same ideological ideas as demonstrated by the/. post history of aberglas tend to have lower IQs, a more feeble grasp of abstract logic, and the tendency to introduce deficiencies at work by performing their jobs in a manner deemed as substandard."
Even if the general statement above about probabilities related to your specific qualities were true, would you feel comfortable about someone bringing it up in a large group of people with whom you worked? Would you not develop a tendency to think that maybe everyone would start to dismiss your accomplishments, and instead focus on your faults, because of the perceived "science" that demonstrates your probable inferiority?
I think it's important to demonstrate that they have no superiority over you.
Cops absolutely DO have superiority over you. They can "interpret" your act of putting your hand into your pocket as a material threat to their lives, if they choose, and not be punished for killing you in response. Hell, I'm sure they could even claim they thought you were trying to pull a gun out of your nose, if they had to.
Their board of directors will launch an inquiry to find out why that one sale was lost, and then subsequently modify all of their future business plans and product roadmaps to never lose that one sale again. Or, at least that's what I would do, if I was a multi-billion dollar international powerhouse.
"Used responsibly, age-based targeting for employment purposes is an accepted industry practice and for good reason: it helps employers recruit and people of all ages find work"

"Used responsibly (theoretically, and at the discretion of whomever is paying us to target ads), age-based targeting for employment purposes is an accepted industry practice (but we won't tell you whom it's accepted by) and for good reason (at least for us): it helps employers who wish to discriminate based on age to recruit, and people of all ages except for the discriminated age ranges, find work."
Wow, I never knew that translation technology could make it so easy to understand executives!
That's actually not true. For example, see how the DRD4 gene could impart a propensity for risky behavior. This study was performed almost a decade ago. I have no doubt that further studies would reveal specific genes that could be manipulated to entirely change the behavior of a person.
I tend to view news of such "wonderful and exciting" advances through the lens of wonderment, tinted with cautious fear. Can you imagine that through an IV, someone change the fundamentals of who you are, perhaps against your will? Someone could kidnap and drug you, and months after you wake up with an IV bag attached to you arm, you literally start becoming someone else.
Are you too rebellious and anti-authoritarian? Here, have a timidity cocktail. Are you too smart and logical, and impervious to manipulation via base desires? Here, have the Trump cocktail.
And voters are in control. All of the lobbying in the world is useless in the face of sufficiently-focused voters, and massive unemployment and underemployment will motivate the voters.
Awww, that's cute. Almost as cute as ponies and rainbows.
Oh my gosh... I had lived most of my life without any regrets whatsoever. Now that I know about the tragedy of Apple Newton not having free software, it will haunt me to my dying day, being the biggest regret I will lament upon my death bed.
But even that small difference in the "uncracked" protection window can be important for game publishers, who usually see a large proportion of their legitimate sales in those first few days of availability.
"Oh, I was going to find a cracked version of this game on launch day, but because I can't find one, I'll pay the full retail price of $40 to $60 right now, instead of waiting a few more days for the cracked version", said no pirate ever.
Maybe, but clearly not as stupid as you. I guarantee you that if you create your Google account name with dots, those very same dots will appear in your gmail address. In fact, when you create a new Google Account, the tooltip that appears when specifying your new user name is "You can use letters, numbers, and periods."
What kind of weird version of Gmail are you using? Gmail has supported dots in account names (and thus, email addresses) since inception. The rules are very simple:
1. You can enter any number of dots anywhere in your Google account name when signing in. The dots get silently discarded when Google authenticates you. Thus "foobar" is the same as "foo.bar" is the same as "f...o.o.b.a..r".
2. Your email address only contains the exact dots that you specified in your Google account name when you created it. If you specified your account name as "foobar", your email address will be "foobar@gmail.com". If you specified your account name as "foo.bar", your email address will be "foo.bar@gmail.com".
3. When people send email to your Google account, once again it strips out any periods when matching your account name, and then replaces all variations with the exact account name you specified when creating it. Mail sent to "foo...bar@gmail.com" will properly arrive to Google account "foo.bar", where it will show up in headers as "foo.bar@gmail.com".

knowing that fingerd has an exploitable buffer overflow bug.
OH MY GOSH, time to stop using finger, and migrate to Facebook instead!
I don't want my data on somebody else's computer.
Oh my gosh, can you enumerate over all the terrible ways that Apple could misuse your family photos in furtherance of their own profit?
I'm extremely curious, because I've bought a new tinfoil hat and I'm desperately searching for any reason to use it.

_ALL_ads are annoying!
This ad isn't annoying - it actually just demonstrates how insufferable most entomologists are.

I'd rate AAPL a "sell, now", starting with the day Jobs died.
AAPL's stock is up 130% since Steve Jobs died. That's a "sell, now" in your book? LOL

And I'm getting really tired about being told how all my problems stem from my inability to get over my candidate losing over a year ago.
Guess what - nobody loves to bring up Hillary's name as much as a Trump supporter.

It's just a reminder to sit back and enjoy the shit show.
He must have been too busy complaining about SJW, political correctness, and how Obama was going to take all our guns and make women equal to men.

Was this back when YouTube used separate user names from Google, prior to using Google Accounts for all Google services?

It's really not that confusing.
