Once you translate a LONG text , then YES it means you have soemthing. but analyzing a few words / a single sentence ? Time and time again we get news somebody found out the code on the infamous manuscript, and it NEVER pans out. Heck, if they got so much success for 1 sentence, WHY oh WHY there is no report on translating a whole page which would be a good evidence ? Instead we get this report about one sentence. Reproducibility is key to demonstrate that the manuscript is translated. If they got a page call me. Until then raise your skepticism shield, this is research result N+1 into pretending they found a solution.
"Let everybody pay for their own insurance, and pensions, and other "fringe benefits", and you eliminate the problem of "pre-existing conditions""
no you don't eliminate this with private insurance. They have no reason to keep people insured which have such pre existing problem. The only way to eliminate this is to have a fix sum of money to be paid by everybody thus the healthy covering the sick: in other word UHC. Whether you want it governemental, or private due to the american allergy to some words, is up to you. But at least governemental UHC is a proven conept. Private HC without U, is a broken concept as the US prove times and times again.
No, the initial name was "tard" as in "retard" but later was changed to "tardar sauce" due to people raising eyebrow at the initial name. Frankly I am betting that's just for documentation and get ride of pestering idiot, and the cat is/was still called tard privately.
Uber does it pretty much nicely itself. There is enough article out there showing how bad they are, how bad they treat people, and are skirting laws on subcontracting and employment, putting potentially people at risk by not checking their driver, not imposing minimum pause, they tracked law enforcement and tried to avoid them with their app (that last one tells a LOT on whether a company is legit IMO) and in some country tried to bypass insurance law on driver in a pretense that since they are digital they don't need to do anything. And even with all those shenanigan, they still LOSE money. And I pass many others. I can't speak about lyft, but Uber ? They are bad.
I was saying if you are property owner, to get a representation of the plight the renter suffer in the bay area, IMAGINE that your house cost (property tax, reparation cost etc...) went from 600$ to 4000$... Are you getting it now ? It would make it unlivable and you would have to sell. And no buying a new one would not help if it has the SAME 4000$ price tag. You would be out priced for housing and pushed outward... which is what is happening for a lot of folk. And quite a lot of people on slashdot are hard at grasping at that.
You are making a bad joke at the expanse of those folk living there... But the reality is that *inflation adjusted* rent and house price are insane. e.g. https://medium.com/@mccannatro...
It is CPI adjusted so reflects indeed an appreciation/gentrification rather than inflation.
Even if you are house owner you can easily understand what this means : imagine your house which had a monthly cost of 600$-700$ (inflation adjusted cost) now has a monthly average cost of 4000$. Would you be able to keep it ? no ? Well that is what is happening to some people, and those with the weakest salaries are pushed further and further away meaning their cost increase both in time cost (travel time) and in transportation cost, or go in worst neighborhood if you can.
Basically I forsee a wall coming to SF bay area, something will have to break.
"While we have far more protections for small voter blocks" I would argue with the electoral college, that you went a step too far, and that at least for the current set up of presidential election, you have a tyranny of the minority. In most place of the world where a president is decided by election , 1 person is 1 vote. But with your electoral college, this is not true and small state people count for more than big state. In fact I can't think of any other democracy where that happens. The result is actually that the minority can decide election against popular vote. And that's royally screwed from a democratic point of view IMO.
See , removing people making a single error from chain of command or skilled work, means your hierarchy and your worker NEVER learn from their error. The one replacing them will have heard of the error, maybe laugh at it, but most of the time they did not LEARN of it, The one which got burned by it, on the other hand, will remember a long time. Experience is also learning from error. By cutting out people which did error, you are not enhancing your process, hierarchy and worker, on the contrary.
Signing means only somebody need to know your signature and imitate it, and as far as I can tell it isn't for fraud and signature comparison, as yourself can fake a signature, no this is about accepting the sale as a contract. The CC company does not care at all about comparing signature for fraud as it is utterly stupid (Not difficult for most people to imitate it, especially that you are supposed to sign your card in the back, therefore signature CANNOT be a security device , as it is known by the card holder). Stealing pins and the attack mentioned OTOH ask for a big sophistication. So for your "way too insecure" I think I will trust chip and pin any time of the day over signature.
What about the officer which shot first , like a proper cowboy, without assessing the situation ? He pretty much share the responsibility and his a disgrace to "protect and server"... Scott free like any shooter like him ?
"highlighted the immense legal risk borne by news outlets already facing a precarious financial reality in the digital age." No it highlights that contrary to what shithead blogposter thimk (gawker people are not what I would call journalist or even news) privacy protection DOES exists even in the US and the web is not a free post-it-all-for-money, there are consequences. Gawker be damned they earned their happenstance.
The fact they hid it, and never left it in user hand is suspicious, especially since they DO have a mechanism that at 20% you battery you can switch to a low power mode. They could have it pop up like "your telephone is discharging rapidly we will put you in lower power mode". But no, they hid it. to me that is an evidence they were well aware of potential backlash.
Look getting ur-old information and touting it as if it was recent is about as misinforming as it goes. Yes there were democrats clansmen, just like the slave party was democrats more than 150 years ago. But that does not mean it has ANYTHING to do with democrats of today ! In fact 1) Byrd denounced his KKK affiliation long ago. And since the 60ies there has been the "southern" strategy where the republican simply scooped up all the racist disenfranchised and abandoned by the democrats. Really, who is more to blame , those who supported racist 60 years ago but then saw the light and abandoned them with the civil right events, OR, those who decided to scoop those racist up and build a political force on their resentment to win up those southern state ? As for trump being considered racist before he ran for president, he was a BIRTHER. That is nuff said. Whoever modded you interesting is trolling.
Also keep in mind the ocean surface varies more than ocean depth which stays relatively unchanged during the year. AFAIR everything below Bathic depth is at 2-4ÂC roughly.
I will assume you are not pulling a poe, and are asking an honest question.
Look it is cold in winter, and from a year to the next there are variations. The missing heat is accumulating in ocean. That does not stop winter being cold. look at this serie :
* 10 then -8
* 11 then -8
* 8 then -5
* 12 then -8
* 9 then -5
* 12 then -7
The "high" have not much of a trend, the last high is nearly as big as the first. Neither do the "low" show much, there is evevn a "low" dip at the end. Yet the average increase in the whole serie nearly linearly of 0.5 per points pair. Same with ocean temperature and warmth. It varies being slightly higher in summer (north hemisphere) and slightly lower in winter with year to year variation , but the trend is that the total warmth trapped in the whole ocean get higher with years on. That still does not stop winter being cold.
Some firm never make a profit. Some stays in the black, barely. A scheme of taxing gross revenue would kill such fledgling firms and increase considerably joblessness by making those not viable anymore. A regressive consumption tax predominantly hit those with the lowest income, they are like VAT tax , tax on sales, and making them progressive tax makes it difficult to implement, possibly adding infrastructure which do not exist today, adding a burden on the state. Really, there is a good reason to avoid consumption tax and gross tax as opposed to revenue tax.
I would rather leave a pile of assets to my next gen, than a pile of virtue which will count for NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. Sure , don't leave a negative legacy behind you i.o.w. don't be a murderer, or a rapist, or a scammer, etc.... But virtue left to your kid/grand kid ? Pah. That sure as hell will warm their heart when the bill comes to be paid, or will help them scale social ladder.... not.
You better give a link, because googling vitam fraud (at least from my region/user) does not give the results you are speaking of. It does give results about *herbal* supplement being fraud having none of the annoucned ingredient, but nothing about vitamin product, frankly most of which are actually sold for a few euros here around in bottle of 30 or 40 (and the ingredient lsit is not advisory for those AFAIK), and are sold by the mainline producer, and since they are mostly mixing up different (relatively cheap with respect to the quantities) chemicals in different proportion rather than complicated processes, I would wager there is few if any intentional fraud. OTOH this is an interresting read : https://www.alternet.org/perso... (there are more traditional sources if you prefer them).
Ever heard of Bayer ? Or Merck (I am speaking of the german one, not the US one It was a german company before the nationalization of 1915) one of the biggest pharmaceutical company ? And yes it does research all over the world, include Darmstadt near where I live. Whoever modded you insightful has no fucking clue and just acted out of the stupid US ideology that the word socialism is bad and an insult, when in reality the US practice some form of socialism, they jsut don't recognize it.
1) not all addicts will start getting addicted if they know in advance the odds.There are various degree of addiction, some can't help, some just need a little bit of proding, not all are helpless. Addiction does not imply you cannot stop, addiction at its core is that you engage into an action in spite of knowing it adverse consequences. But every year people stops smoking. Knowing the odds could help this. 2) it may bring everybody including non addicts to recoil at the real odds. Especially if it is expanded to other medium like pc. It could essentially kill overnight the loot box startegy "what BS is that, I am getting 0.1% chance of getting what i want ???". 3) it is a step forward. What do you expect ? banning lootboxs outright ?
It simply shows that since 1637 nobody learned anything, and this was confirmed with the various pyramide scheme scandal from the last decade, with one of the most well kniown being bernard madoff. People never learn, what we are seeing is not a shift in trust , what we are seeing is sheer speculation on trying to invest and cash in before the others.
France has a few oil well, but they are producing next to nothing. So they can happily state they will produce no more *OIL*, while happily importing crude and refining it to FUEL (or Plastic whatever). As said, it is symbolic.

"Its impact can be severe if undetected." if it is undetected then people don't feel it anymore and have coped... So why would it even be severe ?
