For every application where you will say it is useful over metric, you will only show that you have ingrained the imperial system and do not want to move on. order of magnitude to compare to human size stuff ? metric (centimeter / decimeter / Kg / Tons / liter etc...) gives an immediate gut estimate (i often see the cited example of "it is easier to use 4 foot 11 inches than 150 cm if you were used to it you would say 1.5 meter pronounced "1 meter 50" which is as easy than 4 foot 11 inches and much easier to use if I have 6 yards of clothes how many 5 foot 8 inches guy can I cover ? if I have 6 meter of clothes I just say 6/1.5=4 guys good luck with the example of yard/foot/inches without doing complicated conversion compared to a direct division). Conversion ? metric don't need them as much as imperial. So where the hell does it makes sense to use imperial ? There is a good reason the whole world moved on. The SI is as easy to grasp for people as any other system, but easier to teach, easier to use, and easier to NOT make error with.
So again *WHICH* advantage has imeprial over metric (except that you are used to it) ? before you answer about a particular felt flaw of metric, please google around to make sure it is a real flaw. Good luck on that.
You are using the structure made available with tax and you get a free ride. but i do not accuse the user of tax avoidance, I accuse the government responsible for setting up the tax and letting the whole gaping hole, and never being bothered a second that some big company seems to never have tax report in the same level as their profit. *THEY* , the politician , have a lot to explain. not the company using it.
You missed the point utterly. Atheist *do* have charitable contribution. You pretend that they "don't" but it is untrue. Therefore atheist have the same morality as christian do. You would have a point if religious people were doing something moral that the atheist *never* do. But that does not happen. ALL moral act practiced by religious people are also practiced by atheist. There is NO EXAMPLE of moral act NEVER practiced by atheist. As for being "more" moral religious people commit as many crime as atheist, break mariage vow as much as atheist, when all comfounding factor are counted. What religion help more is not on the morals, but on the comforting zone. But then again in many case a puppy or kitten help even more. That still won't make me start praying to my kitten overlord.
Do you understand now hitchens point ?
Byt the way moral has long been due to be social pressure , it is just in the nature of any animal group stability to not attack or kill each other if they form a community. So frankly I am not sure what you are arguying.
868 people out of 968K comes out at roughly ~0.09% got the cancer. If the heavy coffee drinker had a 50% lower risk then naively we got 289 heavy coffee drinker and 579 non coffee drinker. Or a risk of 0.058% for non coffee drinker and 0.029% for heavy coffee drinker. Put in perspective you have 1 chance of out 1700 to get the cancer, and you lower it to 1 chance out of 3400. Not worth being forced to drink the filthy filthy thing.
That's not me stating that but nintendo europe by restricting the adult content for every user beyond 11pm (when presumably kiddy are in bed) to 3am. Meaning in their mind only kids use those console 3am to 11pm. (what happened to have a parental lock?). Thanks Nintendo I now know as an european I don't need to check your offering , because mostly by 11pm either I am going out, or I am asleep at home. And just a wild stab in the dark, but it will be the same for most adult having a job.
Maybe there is less concurrence, and people are willing to pay more for app, and 5-7$ is the right price points. I recall a long time ago that some of the apple app were highly priced by maybe my memory is bad.
Aren't in the US sick leaves taken from your holiday ? You might then have your response right there. Because in europe they are not, and you are quite encouraged (at least in my firm) to take the day off when you are a virus mothership spreading thema round coughing.
There need to be an evolving of ideology, be it by the party itself, or by having more than one party, with the "progressive" party of the day growing in popularity, and the "conservative" dwindling. Conservativism means stagnation. You can only make progress if you are changing. If you want to stay with the "same old" then you stagnate and aren't adapted to new environment. Ideally you have a few party more than 2 which force the main party to compromise toward progression or toward conservation, so you have not too much progress which disrupt your economy/culture, and not too much stagnation. And if a party stagnate too much and starts to be far away removed from world/culture/economy , then it can dwindle to nothing, and the other party picks up, new party be created which shift the progression/stagnation again to be more adapted to world, culture and economy. Naturally there is a risk that the party is too split to arrive to a majority for decision but 1) it happens relatively rarely so far as I see and 2) from the number of anti gov post I see in such threads, you should all be happy of a governement unable to pass a law like DMCA:P. Just kidding. But that shifting of progressive/conservative allows for the "too stagnating" to get dumped out and still have progress
Now what happens with two party ? Stagnation. Because most likely one party will be ultra conservatist, and the other will likely only have the shine of progressive on it. Sure on a few issue the limitation will be clear, but on many others both party will be conservationist, if only to keep their power. Which is why you will never see any election reform in the USA , even if any one aprty got the super-super majority. Or even a reform of IP law to be more citizen-friendly rather than corporate blow job (OK I should not be showing my bias here, but come on , 70 to 95+ years nearly of copyright ? This is downright insane). Now if the population was much more active, went into the streets a lot, yeah maybe that would for ce the two party to reconsider, but as it is now only natural death replacement of rep and dems will change party line : which is not how you want a country politics to work.
If you taker packet from somebody without knowing the packet content, hide it on your person or car, then bring it discretely to somebody else, are you a criminal ? In the juridiction I know of, yes you would be seen as a complice of the crime, imagine for example that you are raided while delivering the packet and it turns out it is cocaine, good luck trying to use a defense of "but I did not knew what was inside".
"Those mid-red light runners completely missed that there was a redlight there at all! They didn't run the red-light because they wanted to, they ran the red-light because they weren't paying attention."
Driver which decide that because it is night, right of way,s tops, and red light are fully optional. I have been nearly killed by enough of those idiot, compared with day when it happens exceedingly rarely. Now red light camera could be useful at a few intersection i know of, where fucking driver thinks that because there seem to be no driver on the other side then it is free for all despite the red light. And I am not even counting the idiot which think because I am on two wheel , right-of-way & stops suddenly stop counting.
The intensity of nearly all signal we put out outside diminush so rapidely as to be non differentiable from galactic noise, within a few AU, maybe 1 LY at most. The only signal which has reached a few dozen LY was the one sent (when was it ? 70 ies ?) from a radio antena a very strong pulse directed at a place far away, and it was 2 times a one minute or two signal.
The rest ? Street light ? radio ? TV ? All noise beyond 1 light year.
1) somebody buy some pink sheet stocks over quite some time for a cheap price
2) spread rumor as to make the price spike.
3) profit. There is no "????".
Heck some even attempted to use spam to spread pink sheet scam, attempting to sell those as good sale.
A postcard must be read and OCR program aren't that good or quick, whereas an email you can automate it and are directly in something a computer can read.
Not so long ago I went thru algebra at a pretty advanced level, and we never needed a calculator. Solution to equation we could draw ourselves. So why do you even need a calculator in algebra ? That is the worst palce to have it make for lazy student. You need a calculator in classes like physic, or chemistry, but algebra you shoudl not have to.
They are candy which have many form and content. The most wide spread is the ovoid form with almond in it, the other sort with chocolate. There are other sort but those are the crushing majority. The majority come in flat void shape but some come as metallic looking round and small, mostly in confiserie. You offer them (the almond or choco one flat ovoid one mostly) mostly at christian communion, confirmation, mariage, bapteme. And yes refuse whatever skipkent is offering;)
You can probably find them if you have access to various journals. Those are not priamry source but report in general press. If you don't take the time to look it up yourself, I don#t see why I should. Example :
A big cardboard left , right and above the main viewer, face mask which are vertical plane, and the kinect detect only a single person, from the other guys in the room.
That said I have a much easier solution: do not buy such a system. When it is out commercially, tell everybody why it is bad.
As long as any replacement isn't fully anonymous, I will be a luddite on principle on matter of money. The potential for abuse and tracking are too great.
The airline are printing the baording pass, and they always did it unencrypted, for cost reason, and because some of the CKI system are old legacy system which would not support any modern encryption. So. Yeah. It is a non story.
"One, you've obviously never visited Google News and just talking out of your ass. The snippets there are 1-2 sentences long."
Read again : I am saying that for many of us, 1-2 sentence is enough. We don't need the in depth analysis. Either because we don't care, because it would go over our head or because we have no time or because we make a conscious choice or because we know more than the journalist or...or.... Bottom line is that we don't need more.
"The snippets there are 1-2 sentences long. There are also no ads on google news page." There are (sometime but not always) advert when you search for the article on a subject in google (note : not google news) which is the part which get dropped in case of removal from indexing. The part people keep saying "drop them".
"Two, if you wouldn't read those articles based on titles, what difference does it make where you've seen that title? Naturally, you read news only on topics you find relevant, what does news aggregating have to do with this?" That one is even easier : if there is no news agregator I am forced to find my news on the web site of the news purveyor which WILL have advertising.
It is quite easy really. Google news dropping all french journal snippet will not be bad for journals because there won't be an alternative rather than going for the source. And dropping from indexing as many poster says bring the same problem. Basically the end game is google serve no news whatsoever in their.FR domain. And french are forced to go to the journals. or Google keep them in news and in index and journals get a cut.
And you are wrong. It does not matter how much content they add. Look, most of the news, many of us (and I would dare , the majority) do not care at all about the detail, the title line are enough. "PSG win 1-0" "Hamas put a bomb in tel aviv" "Obama announce a new tax". "greece economy sink even more" they are news for which i will look at the title , may even skim the summary, then not even *bother* reading the in depth article.
As such the newspaper are right. I read google summary and the newspaper, despite having done the job of putting the article, will get nothing, whereas google will simply copy a few summary paragraph and get the doug.
Now you could argue all the way that the type of viewer like me is rare (I don't think so, from my colleague i know a lot of "skimmer" like that) but the bottom line at the end is google taking a *bit* of content from the newspaper, get advertising money potentially, and the newspaper *nada*.
Now it could be that if google drop the indexing of the article of the newspaper , the newspaper suffers in readership, but I am not sure of that. If I can't skim off google, I would be forced to go for the real source.
