Apple has had a policy of putting stores in more affluent areas pretty much since, well, always. Attempting to make this a racial issue is absolutely retarded. Along those lines, leave it to someone from the state with the second-most number of Apple stores (21) in the entire country to complain about not having one more. Several states (e.g. Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, etc) only have one store in the entire state! Maybe we should have an investigation about whether Apple is anti-agricultural?
What's interesting is that the "publication" where this "investigation" is being reported (yes, those are sarcastic quote marks) seems to have only one sponsor, Macallan's, and only one product being advertised, Macallan Rare Cask, which is priced in the over $200/bottle range. You think they (i.e. the publication) give a shit whether they are fairly serving a non-white audience?
Maybe they should investigate why so many minorities are trapped in poor neighborhoods?
There's probably lots of "Windows for Dummies" type of books out there, but something specifically for Mac users is what you're asking for. Actually, a quick search just now uncovered dozens of books and articles for Windows users moving to a Mac, but almost nothing in the other direction. Hmmm? I did discover THIS article, however.
In their minds there must not be much of a difference between women and robots. Now that they actually allow women to drive, this probably seems like a logical next step.
Researchers discover that people don't really enjoy binge-watching shows that they're forced to watch, especially ones they're not that interested in to begin with.

Obama, from what I understand really overstepped his constitutional powers by enacting this in the first place.
I understand his heart was in the right place, but I believe this was an overreach of his powers and should be rescinded.
If the US wants it as part of our Law...then congress should be the ones to enact it.
If Obama, as president, doesn't have the authority to create laws, how does Trump, also (apparently) a president, have the authority to "unmake" them? Or in other words, if making law is the job of Congress, then unmaking law should be their responsibility also. It sounds like Trump is committing the same crime. Does nobody see that it's just as wrong when he does it?
Also leads to the counter-argument:
"If there is no difference between the way women and men think or operate, then it is wrong to claim that diversity would improve a company, or have any effect on business"
If women bring nothing unique to the table, then diversity becomes solely a placating effort.
I don't think the point of insisting on diversity is to improve a company. No one gives a rat's ass about any company, other than the one they work for. On the other hand, I'm fairly sure that the goal is to improve society as a whole by improving the lives of those who have been treated the most unfairly; which is to say, to put an end to gender and/or race-based discrimination in terms of hiring, promotion, and compensation.
The number of people in the UK who died an alcohol-related death in 2015 was 8,758, a more or less typical year.
The number of Brits who died in automobile-related incidents in 2013 was 1,713, but that was the lowest number since they began keeping records in 1926 (just ten years earlier, in 2003, the number was 3508).
The total number of terrorism-related deaths in the UK since 1970 is 3,395. That's an average of approximately 72 per year over the last 47 years.
Over the last ten years, the number of terrorism-related deaths in the UK is roughly the same as the number of deaths from bees and wasps.
Given these figures, it would make more sense to take away their right to drink and/or drive.
Note this passage on the serial comma from Wikipedia:
In American English, a majority of style guides mandate use of the serial comma, including APA style,[5] The Chicago Manual of Style, The MLA Style Manual, Strunk and White's Elements of Style,[6] and the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual. In contrast, the Associated Press Stylebook and the stylebook published by The Canadian Press for journalistic writing advise against it. It is used less often in British English,[7] but some British style guides require it, including The Oxford Style Manual.[8] According to The Oxford Companion to the English Language, "Commas are used to separate items in a list or sequence... Usage varies as to the inclusion of a comma before and in the last item... This practice is controversial and is known as the serial comma or Oxford comma, because it is part of the house style of Oxford University Press."[9] Some use it only where necessary to avoid ambiguity,[10] in contrast to such guides as Garner's Modern American Usage, which advocate its routine use to avoid ambiguity.
Note that the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual is one of the style guides that mandate the use of the serial comma. So maybe the state of Maine simply hasn't done its homework? And yes, I would have to agree with the truckers, especially since delivering milk for a dairy is NOT one of the seasonal jobs that the law was designed to account for. Just try to tell a herd of cows that they have to wait until spring to get milked. You'd have, I can't help saying, a moo-tiny on your hands.
Exactly. Back in the '80s my prof at university told us that was one of the ways he used when dating North American aboriginal sites. The idea was you could determine where magnetic north was the last time a fire ring was used (and thereby calculate a fairly accurate date range) since the iron in the rocks/earth in the ring would align to magnetic north when heated to a high temperature.
UCSF has also been in the news recently for treating it's janitors like crap and firing them when they complained, and for raising the salary of their medical center's CEO to over $1 million (on top of the ~$550,000.00 he gets from being on the boards of several vendors who sell to UCSF).
Their best chance of success would be to put a flag on a pole and fire it at the moon from the world's biggest cannon. Maybe they can hire Wile E. Coyote as technical lead for the project. Of course they shouldn't let him actually light the fuse himself... unless they're into fur-less, burnt, blackened coyote, that is.
Wild claims of association with opposing "extremist"groups + known history of violent and homophobic behavior = hate crime.
Doggedly extrapolating terrorism from above + claims of radicalization through the internet with no reason to think so = typical government tactic to use tragedy to achieve powers no competent organization would need, and that no benevolent regime would even think about.
Proper training? Educating them that they are NOT at war with everyone "not a cop?" Maybe waiting to actually SEE a gun before firing their own? I'm just sayin'...
Various members of the tech sector are busting a collective gut to provide us with self-driving cars, which given the enormous number of variables involved with navigation, collision avoidance, etc. one can't help wondering if it's practical, or even possible. But at the same time the relatively simple systems required to make rail transport the safest mode of transportation on the planet (ignoring plain old walking, of course), are so expensive and/or troublesome to implement that we think that a bunch friggin' cameras are a more effective and/or reliable solution to the problem?
To be clear, it has to be the "geographic" North pole because your walk has to follow actual lines of longitude and latitude, which, if I remember my high school Earth Science class, are oriented with the geographic poles and the equator, or, more precisely, with the Earth's axis and the equatorial plane. The magnetic poles wander around quite a bit, A quick googling shows that the magnetic North pole is currently located around latitude 73 N, longitude 100 W, which is hundreds of kilometers from geographic North.
For instance, did they study how many of these "searcher" users accidentally deleted truly important emails because they couldn't easily tell them apart from all the other crap?
No, relying on search alone to make your mountain of email data a useful resource makes about as much sense as keeping a watchdog that performs acceptably even though it really does eat your homework whenever it can...
How does that saying go? Two peoples separated by a common language?
Now if you could tell me why my comments invariably receive a score of zero, I could die happy.

Oooops. That was supposed to be "2018."
Just when I was thinking that 2019 HAS to be better than 2017 was. She will be missed.
Only in silence the word,
Only in dark the light,
Only in dying life:

On the empty sky.

Actually, killing off the bees would be worse than this
Yes, but that was the joke part of the post...
Here's some facts to consider:
Given these figures, it would make more sense to take away their right to drink and/or drive.
Or, at least, get rid of the bees and wasps...
Maybe Facebook's business model is based on patenting ideas stolen from dystopian literature (e.g. 1984, Farenheit 451, Brave New World, etc.)?
Because we're idiots.

Wikipedia lists Bernie Madoff as one of the university's notable alumni. Discuss amongst yourselves...
