people who were exposed to coal smoke for long periods
Or, better yet, second-hand smoking?
There are several locations (my office building entrance, and in couple of corners around my location) where you cannot pass by without getting a nice dose of second-hand smoke.

Maybe they already changed it to say "actually, all your base are belong to us". Is it really reasonable to ask users to compulsively check the agreement in case they changed it?
Apple Developer's EULA requires our confirmation when rules change, but since they change every month or so and present you with 50 pages of new rules, only companies that have a room of of lawyers on retainer can possibly keep up.
Obama probably privately approves of what Snowden did at this point in time..., but politically he isn't going to get involved....
What makes you say that? I am very curious about people who say "Yes, Obama/Trump/Clinton is doing bad things, but in private (or secretly!) they actually mean well. It's all politics."
Based on what was done and said, the more likely interpretation is that Obama does not approve of Snowden.
This is the real tech world folks. Keep your kids out of it unless they absolutely love it on their own. It is an ageist world which has no loyalty to workers at all,
So, which industry can't be described with those words today?
Some industry that shows loyalty to workers long-term? Doesn't suffer from ageism?
That's because 90% of everything is crap- always has been, always will be.
But the old 90% of crap is now gone. What old things remain in the present are the good 10% that survived. That's why people get confused thinking about "good old days".
Be responsible.... I can't believe any mods have modded this up as "informative."
You have conveniently ignored at least one item from GP posting. Specifically, that claim:
the definition of 'alcohol related accident' meaning ANY person involved having a measurable amount of alcohol (including passengers and pedestrians) leads to the inflating of numbers and 'proof' that we need even stupider laws.
(If true) that alone seems like a problem negating ANY meaningful statistics on a number of "alcohol-related" accidents.
The vast majority of software will run under Linux in one way or another.
Linux did not gain more ground precisely because of this. I believe the devil is in the one way or another part. You probably can get almost any software to work, but it is not a "double-click this" level of effort.
I usually forget what software I started to install (on CentOS, typically) by the time the 5th library had to be added.
The only major exceptions are games, and even many of those will work.
Do you mean natively or through Wine (or such)? With all of the fun of determining the required configuration settings online?
The user interface in Ubuntu is "good enough for grandma".
It is really time for someone to do a proper study because I have difficulties believing that statement -- but that's all too anecdotal.
Couldn't you just go to the library and get a desk and computer for free?
Yes, you could, but that's not going to generate a $16B valuation out of thin air.
A more interesting question is why do they need over 1000 employees.
That. So much that.
How much money do they really save on removing a few cashiers? I won't go to CVS anymore, because it is always an obnoxious experience.
A. Useless project (backers know what they are buying)
B. Failed project (people tried and backers knew there is a risk)
C. Embezzlement (no one actually tried to do the project)
They run 24 hours a day, and all areas of a city have a chance to get service.
Have you ever tried to find a taxi (or even call a taxi to) "all areas" of a city? You might have a chance, but that chance can be extremely small.
In NY (at least) it is also common for the taxi driver to drive away if they don't like your destination.
Uber has all sorts of problems, but taxis are a horribly broken system that is far from working remarkably well.
Hahahah.
A lot of Russians may well approve of Putin. But this report could just as easily say 75% or 99% or 117% approval.
Not "maybe it is biased in some way", but you cannot trust 1) anyone answering a survey, 2) anyone doing a survey and 3) you certainly cannot trust a person doing a survey and discussing it (non-anonymously!) with a reporter.
"You don't have to have the multi-million dollar budgets to make great games -- I've seen a huge amount of evidence for that tonight," said Sean Brennan.
I think that used to be true. In the 80s and 90s perhaps, you could start small.
The "evidence" we have here is if you started in the 90s and were popular, then you can have the necessary multi-million budget to make successful games now.
A quick google search places Fallout 1 estimated budget as $3M ($4.5M in current money) and Fallout 4 at anywhere between $150M and $250M (or possibly even more, this is not the highest estimate I saw).
used a video camera to document street-level and forced prostitution, and human trafficking.
One of these is not like the others.
I doubt he caught a lot of human trafficking or forced prostitution on camera. The article certainly doesn't mention any.
TSA confiscates your drinks, while the airline sells you drinks at insane margins. More profits for airlines.
I think that is still the airport's benefit, not the airline's. It is always hilarious to trash my drink while a guy with 10 cases of water bottles is waved through security right next to me.
Water/Soda bottles are now at least $3.5-$4 each, but I think almost all are bought in the airport and not on the plane.
the real reason for TSA is to increase airline profits.
It does not increase airline profits. I think airlines are suffering with us (and $85 over 5 years is trivial money)
The profits are for the contractors, most notably the ones who sold the scanner machines to TSA. First they sold the "unsafe" (1st generation) machines. Then they admitted (after years!) that there may be actual bad radiation and again sold the "safe" (2nd generation) machines.
I am waiting for sudden realization that the 2nd generation machines can give people cancer as well so that they can be phased out and replaced by 3rd generation machines at a great profit.
Notably, 1st generation are "officially" recognized as unsafe (you can get a lecture from a friendly TSA officer, when opting out from a scan, on how the "new" machines are the "safe" kind of radiation), but no one went to jail for imposing the "bad" radiation on so many people.

deep-cover slashvertisement
deep-cover?
I think slashvertisements stopped being subtle a long time ago. Some are too much for an actual commercial ad.
Couldn't you just go to the library and get a desk and computer for free?
Yes, you could, but that's not going to generate a $16B valuation out of thin air.
A more interesting question is why do they need over 1000 employees.
Fight with the self checkout lane.
That. So much that.

Most "Kickstarter" Projects Just Useless Crap
I think you are missing the difference between
A. Useless project (backers know what they are buying)
B. Failed project (people tried and backers knew there is a risk)
C. Embezzlement (no one actually tried to do the project)
in the US our education system is horribly underfunded and under supported
The underfunded part is not actually true though. US ranks 5th in spending compared to other countries! http://www.theatlantic.com/edu...
there's such a thing as a "sex in moving cars expert".
There isn't.
This expert is the very first self-taught scholar from the rather large community of "sex in parked car" experts.
He died doing what he loved.
Trying to quickly take over the wheel in a self-driving car?
Proving that AI is not ready to be "self-driving"?
Causing a very complex death liability lawsuit?
Debugging car AI for "unusual conditions"?

I once transferred money from my savings to checking account and wrote 'supplies for meth production' in the optional for section and it was rejected.
Aren't you glad that your money was not confiscated?
when hearing 83% of Russian approve Putin
Hahahah.
A lot of Russians may well approve of Putin. But this report could just as easily say 75% or 99% or 117% approval.

they need that clause to transmit your user-generated content without it leading to copyright infringement.
I am not a lawyer, but why do they need this part?: fully sublicensable (i.e. we can grant this right to others).
Also, is "waive-your-right-to-trial" now considered to be boilerplate?

Attractive women are quite dangerous, it turns out.
Prosthetic devices and the people who wear them are also quite dangerous.
It's willful, deliberate incompetence to implement a program
It's almost like there are no performance metrics or expectations to meet!
Like no one cares if the program is implemented well.
Undercover teams smuggled banned items in 67 out of 70 cases during an internal test. It is a unique operation indeed. Where else is less-than-5% success rate is a perfectly acceptable performance?
the real reason for TSA is to increase airline profits.
