You clearly haven't seen two or more deaf people in public.
Plenty of people sign. Heck, plenty of hearing people sign.
Conversations (deaf-deaf, hearing-hearing, hearing-deaf) are all much more natural face-to-face where you can interrupt, show expressions, assign nuanced gestures or tones to words -- all things that are not well suited for text.
There's a lot of contextual clues necessary to understand sign language. Most conversations would seem "faux caveman" like to the outsider - a lot of Noun Verb Noun going on...
I'm going to have to watch the video from another machine, but I'm more interested in the bumper at the bottom that has realtime English/Chinese translation in your own voice...
When you look at the list of the flags, there's a great deal of them that would just happen naturally in net-conversation. They could get 5+7 points for finding out if they had a cafeteria and then finding out who does the food service. That's the sort of thing every idiot on Instagram takes a picture of every morning while they're blogging about their breakfast. Feel free to get 5 "free" points from Linkedin if you get an employee's name. Get a few more points he shouted "Payday, bitches!" on Facebook one Friday afternoon.
The threat is relative. The points assigned to each were subjective.
...but a good deal of the flag points were given for gathering OS, service pack, browser, mail and PDF program/version information -- which I'm going to guess was a probably a given at Apple.
35M is enough that someone internal is going to pay the price -- and by price, I mean leave his executive position and go to work for another tech company in high management for a similar paycheck where he'll repeat the process.
What death and destruction do you think "disasters" have wrought in Phoenix? We don't have "disastrous" flooding, drought and heat. It's hot. It floods a little when the monsoon is in town.. Sometimes water is low. Those aren't disasters.
Every once in a while, we flood the ground floor of a home in a wash or ravine, close an airport runway, or wash out a bridge. Sometimes a moron drives through a wash and needs rescued. 33 years ago, we blew out some old bridges... In short, it rains here every once in a while, sometimes it doesn't rain for a while and that's it.
Heat on the other hand is real.
Immigrants die in the heat sneaking across the border in droves. 70-some-odd deaths per year are attributed, or had a helping hand from heat here with non-migrant Arizonans as well. They include gems like an 86 year old guy overheating on his roof (!?!) and infants left in cars by morons, but do include the occasional middle-aged heat stroke victim. In a city of nearly 4M, I imagine 70's pretty low. People have to die of something....but none of that is abnormal. It's normal to be 110 here for weeks at a clip, and data centers here are built with exactly that in mind -- since it was 110 last year, and the year before, and before, and before.
These "disasters" aren't. We regularly have flooding (localized, due to rains, not rivers or levees), excessive heat (110+ for weeks straight), and drought. That's normal here, benign, and we're not doing anything differently because of disasters elsewhere, because we're mostly immune from anything other than what passes for a curiosity story on CNN/Fox when we hit 118 in the summer.
...with the exception of literacy and infant mortality (which I assumed was listed backwards -- I mean, is "#1 in infant mortality!" good or bad?), the top of the list is all pretty close, and you can likely find some list that matches those numbers.
There's 242 countries if you count dependent territories and if you go as far down as the Pitcairn Islands, Coco Islands, and the Vatican City and only 188 on the infant mortality list. It's not just missing dependent nations on the 188 list - since other non-dependent islands like Nauru aren't on the list. 40th is believable depending on the list and order you use...
Will McAvoy:[Looks at Jenny] And, yeah, you... sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know.

We're 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number 4 in labor force and number 4 in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real and defense spending - where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined, 25 of whom are allies. Now, none of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the worst period generation period ever period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the FUCK you're talking about!...

Yup. Many signed phrases are just noun, verb, point, noun .

That information there (OS+ver, Browser+ver) = 50 points.
"Do you have a cafeteria?" come in 3rd.

That's the point.
We've got disaster plans for all sorts of things, but they're all just things we live with every year.

Here's the skinny on what actually happens here:

So, uh, I live in Arizona, so we're pretty much still not bracing for any sort of natural disaster other than it being hot again this summer...
Sorkin likes to kick off his shows with these speeches.
I'm probably more partial to Judd Hirsch's Network-esque speech at the beginning of Studio 60.
