Amen! Given the Google's level of customer service for wallet (the only freaking way you can GIVE them money), I would not trust them with anything significant.
If it was, would you trust it? I mean, people haven't been using it during their daily routines for years, so it is definitely not at super reliable level. Sure, they should be able to do it in case of emergencies, but under normal conditions it is much safer to just ground the flights.
While they keep fighting their own customers, Indie artists and movie makers are slowly eating their market share. Seriously, even these days I can find enough quality shows and even movies to watch on YouTube. Give it another XY years and Hollywood would be squeezed into some small niche market only few people will care about and I will not be one of them.
Some have argued that this gap is genetic (and we certainly cannot rule it out); however, there is no conclusive evidence to support their claim that the IQ gap is genetic.
Well, the claim that IQ gap is genetic is easy to prove: you just have to find the genes responsible for that gap. Then, find subjects of multiple races with and without those genes and demonstrate that they have statistically significant difference in IQ.
Until they have done that, claims that gap is genetic are unscientific. Period.
In any case, I'm pretty sure that the genes that make you "black" are not the same genes that make you "smart". I can buy an argument that there can be some correlation (which also can be cultural), but our understanding of genes is pretty far from the point where we would be able to make such claims.
I think this is a primary role of the government: supporting society by supporting those who for historical reasons got left out. Be it age, natural disasters or other factors.
I thinks in general just being more conscious about what you eat will give you good results, regardless of which diet you choose to follow. Well, provided that diet is at least somewhat sane, of course.
Chances are that your credit card does actually have a PIN. Or, at the very least, it takes one phone call or visit to the online banking to set it up. I was surprised when I found this out about my cards.
I remember when we just moved here and my wife wanted to buy a sour cream. With fat-free obsession here most stuff is very low on fat, but we wanted it with "normal" percentage of fat, like we used to. Basically we were looking for the one with the highest percentage of fat and so for each can it was: take the total mass in ounces or pounds, divide by the number of servings = mass of one serving, convert to grams, divide the fat per serving in grams by the mass of the serving to get the percentage. Do the same thing for the next can and compare.
I hear people measuring distance in feet and miles all the time. Heck, my navigator, when giving driving directions often says something like "in a quarter of a mile..." and then "in 500 feet". I still have no clue how different "quarter of a mile" and "500 feet" are. And then, when you think you almost got it, there are yards...
P.S. I was raised with SI units and moved to US not long ago and this is my perspective.
Only because you are using Imperial system and your pancake recipes list crap like "one third of a cup" or something. Look up the same recipe in metric and it will just list grams or milliliters.
The everyday need to divide integers into thirds, fourths, fifth or whatever and get an integer as a result has long gone.
Of course everybody wants more money. The point is -- and this is what important for employer -- are you willing to work harder for it? If your salary is 100K are you going to work twice as hard for 200K? Unlikely, but the employer would have to pay you twice as much.
Alternatively, will you drop your job near your house that provides meals, transportation, etc. that pays 100K in cash for the one far from your place that provides none of the perks, but pays 150K? Also not a given.

Reddit comments are exactly of OMGWTF kind.

I think it is actually higher in Bay Area. http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/0...
The problem is, many people say that. Virtually none of them do.
Yeah, well, I guess a flame war is better than a nuclear one.
Who the fuck has the time to look through 100 FB stories a day???

My thoughts exactly.

Don't be so sure, it depends on how close FB's ties in Washington are.
Only purist libertarians honestly want the whole government small.
Except that definition of "small" seems to vary greatly, depending on the agenda of a particular libertarian.

Don't know what you are talking about. To me bananas in the US look the same as bananas in Europe.
Hit the nail on the head there.

Yes, we did get some weird looks.

Nowadays IBM is just an IT consulting company. Good for them that they have realized it fast enough and got rid of all the ballast.
Christian origin vs FSM -- that is the debate I would watch!
Insurance companies will tax you instead.

If only we can build enough of these, so they would cool the earth down and thus solve the global warming problem!
What exactly does this have to do with anything (including Ghandi not getting a Nobel Peace prize)?
I would *definitely* watch that movie!
