So if potato chip makers 'removed' this acrylamide from their product, does that mean that all potato chips in California without this warning are basically undercooked?

I once used an ambulance in Canada. I understand there's no cost for people in the Canadian healthcare system? For me it was a flat $550 (ish) fee - they explained that the cost doesn't vary any regardless of distance, services or consumables. It was a transfer between hospitals, took over an hour, and I got a few doses of fentanyl during the trip. Good times.
My MIL went to a US ER for a fainting spell, got transferred from one facility to another in an ambulance, the trip took 20 minutes, no other services rendered, and the bill (which she didn't need to pay fortunately) was $3500.
Up until then, scientists had believed small differences would get absorbed away in larger trends.
They do, in nature
Source? My understanding is that small differences lead to huge differences in nature. I'd imagine that a Pachinko game is a good illustration of that - two different balls with minutely different starting positions/velocities will follow significantly different paths eventually. It's only when you look at the statistical averages of significantly numerous paths that a pattern/trend emerges. In this way, nature is exactly like computer calculations.
It's worth noting that the JWST will orbit the L2 point, not sit still in it. The orbit will be 800,000 km in radius, which is larger than the Moon's orbit around the Earth. Anybody out there good enough with geometry to say whether the JWST will be in the penumbra or not?
Saltwater freezes at 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit [noaa.gov]. How did these sharks get so cold if they were underwater?
From what I could gather from the article, the speculation is the three sharks were swimming along in normal temperature waters (whatever normal is, the article doesn't say) then hit a spot of particularly cold water (again, the article doesn't say anything about the temperature of the water) and became disoriented or disabled, washed up on shore, died, and then froze in the sub-freezing air temps (6 F, according to the article.)
It's also possible, I suppose, that the sharks washed up on shore for reasons entirely unrelated to temperatures, where it's not surprising that they then froze in the sub-freezing air. I found some articles from earlier this year stating that there has been a shark population boom in the area.
I would use traditional chemical rockets to leave deep gravity wells with atmosphere barriers (like the Earth), and I would use a ballistic railgun launcher to leave shallow gravity wells with no atmosphere (like the Moon.) Point one railgun towards the Earth to ship home manufactured goods, point another railgun in whatever direction is appropriate to send stuff towards the inner or outer solar system.
Is there actual commerce happening with Bitcoin? That is, the exchange of goods and services for Bitcoin? Or is it all about mining a speculation? As in, it's valuable because people want it and people want it because it's valuable?
And yet he advocates for establishging a "fun money" fund. What is coffee if not a fun daily ritual?
Many people who commit themselves 100% to eliminating debt and saving money find that a certain joylessness creeps in after a while. The same thing happens to dieters who deprive themselves of all their favorite foods for months, and then cave to late-night binges.
That's not a way to live, and that's not what I advocate. Austerity, yes; deprivation, no.
The key is to include spending on fun things in your budget. Set aside a manageable percentage every week in a fund that will let you splurge with cash. Go out for lunch, get your hair done, or use your fun money to go on a vacationâ"do whatever you want, as long as you pay for it outright. This way you can enjoy your splurges without feeling guilty!
Or is he specifically saying that haircuts = good but coffee = bad for some reason?
Can you encrypt the hard disk with a Mac? Physical access to my Ubuntu laptop isn't gonna get you anything if you don't have the passphrase for decrypting my hard disk.
Yes. Apple has what they call FileVault that does whole-disk encryption (minus a boot volume, I think.)
If FileVault is used, Single User Mode as mentioned above requires login credentials.
From what I can gather, the bug is that a non-admin account can create an enabled root account without a password if there exists a disabled root account, regardless of the existing root account's password. And by default, a High Sierra install's root account is disabled, I think.
Google and Facebook are not âthe Internet.â(TM) Multiple hosting companies arenâ(TM)t either.

I've always enjoyed working the day after Thanksgiving. Not many other people are working so traffic is lite. The office is quiet. Few if any drive-by requests happen. Gives me time to get some tasks done, plus hang out in the cafe with coworkers and casually socialize.
"Apple has done this not so well," writes the company. "Face ID can be fooled by mask, which means it is not an effective security measure."
Isn't that true of any biometric-only authentication system? Fingerprint, face, iris, voice... they can all be emulated with enough effort. It's a darn convenient security measure, however, which under the right circumstances is augmented by a strong passcode.
I couldn't find details on the implication of this ruling. Does this mean that if I sign up to be a Uber driver in the UK, I can flip the switch to online, never take a single rider, and Uber is required to pay me a minimum wage for doing nothing more than sitting at my desk doing my regular day job? How do traditional taxi services in the UK handle things? Are those drivers paid by the hour? And if so what repercussions do they face if they never take a fare? Can they be easily fired?
It's one thing to huff and puff, it's another to take action. Did these communities that "rejected Comcast" actually build their own networks, or are they still using the service that they supposedly rejected?
The communities did not reject Comcast - they voted in favor of allowing the city to provide Internet access (alongside all existing providers.) It's now up to the city to put together a plan to fund and provide that access, and get approval for that plan. In Longmont COs case, once the city voted to exempt itself from the ban, the city proposed floating a bond to fund the build-out, which was approved by the city in yet another vote. The city then did in fact built out a gigabit fiber service. And it's awesome.
They can't take what they dish out. What a surprise....yet Musk provided serious answers after having a little fun. He didn't have to provide real answers, but even doing that hurt the precious snowflakes' feelings.
Where do you see that people had their feelings hurt? Muskâ(TM)s comments, both serious and joking, were highly upvoted or even gilded.
TSLA isn't plunging today (as of time of writing, the pre-market has it down less than 2%, and I bet it'll close similar to or higher than it started, because there's a lot of bulls looking to buy on weakness).
Good call. With less than an hour to the closing bell, not only is TSLA higher than it's starting price as you predicted, it's 1.5% higher than yesterday's closing.
Here's my understanding of what the buttons in Control Center now do:
Airplane Mode - same as before, turns off all radios - wifi, BT, cell.
The green cellular lollipop - not intuitively obvious to me that this was for cellular, but anyway it turns off the cellular radio entirely as one would expect.
Blue wifi icon - this is the one with the new functionality. It's a 'disconnect' button now, not a 'turn off' button. The use case, from what I can tell, is for people who want to not use wifi at a particular location (like at a restaurant that offers wifi but their Internet connection is down) but don't want to worry about turning wifi back on once they leave that location. There are some anecdotes on reddit about people who have turned off wifi but forgot to turn it back on once they got home and blew through their data plan in a couple days. Wifi can be turned off entirely via the Settings app like before.
Blue BT icon - again, like the wifi button, it's simply a 'disconnect' button now. I'm having a hard time thinking of a use case for this, however. Maybe some people want to temporarily disconnect from their keyboard, speakers, card, headphones, whatever, without having to remember to turn BT back on again later when they do want to connect...? I only ever use BT for in-car stuff, and never had need to turn off BT.
So I think the new ability is a good one to have, and a good one for the control center, but yeah it's questionable to change an existing button's function without a more clear indicator of what it does. Like a pop-up that says 'This just temporarily disconnects you from your wifi network, instead of turning wifi off. [] Do not show again.' would perhaps have been advisable?

Huh. I wonder how many students used their student loans to invest in Miami condos and Arizona houses in 2008...

Looks like there are a few more differences from Pro, like only being able to join a domain hosted in Azure.

I would use traditional chemical rockets to leave deep gravity wells with atmosphere barriers (like the Earth), and I would use a ballistic railgun launcher to leave shallow gravity wells with no atmosphere (like the Moon.) Point one railgun towards the Earth to ship home manufactured goods, point another railgun in whatever direction is appropriate to send stuff towards the inner or outer solar system.

Having an enabled root account with a non-blank password disables this vulnerability. Does that match your situation?
From what I can gather, the bug is that a non-admin account can create an enabled root account without a password if there exists a disabled root account, regardless of the existing root account's password. And by default, a High Sierra install's root account is disabled, I think.
