If we start to suspect they are shilling or lying then we move on to the 1 million other choices.
The problem, of course, is that most people don't really move on because they're worried about shills or lies, but because they feel the source doesn't align with their worldview. Now maybe too many big lies will contrast with the view of how things show be, but in reality they're more than happy to accept a bucket of half-truths, clickbait, and general b.s. so long as it supports their entrenched position.
I agree to an extent that it seems we are often reticent to address the actions of individuals in a group for fear of being called "biased" (racist, sexist, etc) against that group. Certainly that seems to often be the case where police are involved, as any mistake my the authorities is amplified over the conduct of the individuals they are dealing with. That said, there's a reason that things like warrant-less searches, unreasonable detention, etc have traditionally been grounds for dismissing cases, so we also need to consider that one of the reason we focus on the activities of our authorities is that we WANT to hold them to a higher standard.
But beyond all that, perhaps this article from Canada might surprise you. It did surprise me in that they are willing to identify - with photos - people who were behaving suspicous in a mall *and* that they looked "middle eastern." Now despite the naysayers, it's the latter part that is really unusual. It's not actual that untoward for authorities to be concerned with a group that is taking unusual interest in non-photogenic egress/security points of a public space. The more common concern is criminals potentially "casing" an area for security, a quick exit, and entrance points for the authorities prior to a robbery etc. The middle eastern bend makes it likely that the primary concern in this case is terrorism rather than theft.
What I meant is that calling them "humans" means to many "Homo Sapien" or a close ancestor, but it's possible that it was a further branch of the species or an alternate branch which has died out. I suppose it depends on what you define as "human" though.
But it's not to say it was from anything quite like a modern human. Maybe our more primitive ancestors were better with tools. Heck, maybe they were more like chimps.
Food supply is a big reason, and infrastructure. Now if you want to completely revert to a hunter-gatherer society, where do you think we're going to find enough food for everyone? Neither hunting nor scavenging is going to do it. Mass-production is where it's at.
Oh, and shelter? Sorry, but a tarp hanging off a tree probably ain't gonna cut it for most people. Especially if it's cold and winter'ish.
Cities are generally built around resources. This can include minerals, water, food sources, or access. Even the stuff we can make ourselves doesn't spring up overnight, and things like water aren't as readily available everywhere as you seem to think, or at least not in quantities needed for any modern sized civilization.
I believe it's called the same here. My main concern with such lists as they could be used by unscrupulous persons (scammers, phishers) to find targets within a company.
I think some of the most useful - and oft overlooked - advances are in records-keeping and information-sharing. Unfortunately, it also seems that in general there is often a poor track-record of security when it comes to keeping such things private, but it's a trade-off. I'm Canadian, so my experience is going to be different than the U.S, but here I can a) Go see my doctor's clinic, which recommends an X-ray b) Go to a hospital, where they read my script but also can get more details on the request/history from my medical log c) Get the X-ray, which gets stored in the computer system both for my doctor to access nearly immediately, but also potentially for any future physicians/specialists d) Get a prescription based on the results of the above, and see a pharmacist which checks the current prescription against the records of anything else I may be taking (or known allergies) to prevent dangerous interactions/conflicts
The system isn't perfect, but technology saves a *lot* of time shuffling paperwork between physicians/locations and can save lives by revealing potentially life-threatening drug-interactions or previous medical history/conditions
There was actual a recent article citing that - while major medical cases involving children have generally gone down - there has been a major increase in cases of panic attacks, anxiety, etc. Experts are starting to correlate this "over protectiveness" to a lack of social development, which later leads to issues such as anxiety or a generally poor ability to deal with stress, conflict, etc.
And instead he's assumed to be a perp. "Why are you with this child who doesn't know you"
Good luck with that. I WORKED in a school district, and even then I wasn't allowed to take children up the road to the next school when they missed the bus.
Yeah, I hear that. As I write, somebody is trying to schedule a "follow up meeting" for an issue. Since I'm pretty much booked up with actual work all day, her answer "oh, can we just schedule it at 12:30" then.
Yeah, the answer to me being too busy for more meetings is to schedule one in my lunchtime, because apparently my calendar is open there...
They work in the opposite way. If you don't do what they want, then they blackball you and f*** you over as much as possible, even going so far as to trump up some charges for your CEO after they do everything they can to bankrupt you.
So where the F*** is the anti-trust or class-action class on this. I personally know at least three people whom a Windows 10 installation has boned the computer of. At least one of those was an I'm-going-to-install-without-asking-you upgrade, and they all fail in their own unique and not-so-fun ways * Broken hardware drivers/support, USB won't work, etc * Corrupted software repository (can't uninstall, needed fresh install of Win7) * Ate the bootloader, blowing up both Windows AND the Linux install on another partition * Didn't complete install, wouldn't roll back.
Ditto here. Or rather, I do have feeling, but it's a whole lot less. Our bodies are built to (in general) make sex an enjoyable experience. With a condom you're getting some of the thrust and friction, but missing out on a bunch of the rest
Define harm. I've been part of a few class actions where vendors colluded on the cost of hardware (monitors, RAM, etc) to inflate the price, and received a cash settlement.
It could also be that these aren't exactly A-list games (regardless of how much they might want to hype up "Just Case 3"), so there are less people working on a crack.
Not all of us want six kids (or to abstain for the rest of our lives), especially when we're hitting over forty or fifty. In most couples I know of it's a mutual decision.
P.S. This would also be great for shared devices/media. If I want - for example - authorize a music or movie purchase for the family while I'm on the road, etc. I somewhat do this on Android already as I have an account that's shared between my phone and TV box (just purchase it on the phone).
On newer Android versions, you can have multiple accounts on a device. Personally, what I'd like to see in general is a "restricted" account that is tied to a master. In the restricted accoint, kids etc can see and play their games. If they want to install something, it sends a request to the master detailing "Timmy2005 wants to install game 'Jurassic Pork' on device 'family tablet'. Rating PG. Cost $0" or "Timmy2005 wants to make a purchase via app 'Jurassic Pork' for $50, details: upgraded tyrannosaurus"
At that point, little Timmy can't complete the transaction until dad authorizes it via his account/device (with password etc).
WHO demanded fee-to-play (they certainly aren't free) games? Nobody I know fucking did, and most I know hate it. First they took local LAN play, so you could only play when online. FTP is basically just a scam to hide the real cost of a game, be it free install or otherwise.
On tablets etc, games didn't *require* paying of course, unless your actually wanted to progress beyond a certain point.
Meanwhile on PC/console, we got unlockable "achievements", which was kinda cool until those became necessary to unlock items in the game. Then off course, came the ability to "pay" for unlocks, so you had the ability to play 10,000h for a sniper scope or pay in order to compete with the fucking rich kids who bought them at $50
Back to tablet, oh now we're not charging you money, you get game "credits" (which of course your can purchase) to obfuscate the cost of things further. Lastly, let us not forget DLC. What used to be legitimate add-ons a year or so after release became 0-day nickel-and-dime cash grabs to get a full game.
Tell me, when did we ask for this shit? Because it seems to me that as soon as the industry see dollar signs, every fucking game went there. EA was the biggest sell-out, but with them and other big names buying out any game studio that produces a decent product, your choices are pretty much limited to whose dick you want to take up your ass, and with how much lube (lube available in micropayments of $5/application).

"You only have to clear the buffer once on exit."
One of the cases I've heard of this is during a crash. In that case, you may have no clean exit in which to clear the buffer.
I believe it's called the same here.
My main concern with such lists as they could be used by unscrupulous persons (scammers, phishers) to find targets within a company.
In my province (Canada), they post details for gov't employees over a certain pay grade (I think $80k).
I think some of the most useful - and oft overlooked - advances are in records-keeping and information-sharing. Unfortunately, it also seems that in general there is often a poor track-record of security when it comes to keeping such things private, but it's a trade-off.
I'm Canadian, so my experience is going to be different than the U.S, but here I can
a) Go see my doctor's clinic, which recommends an X-ray

I like the beep idea. If the switch is on the (sperm) enabled setting, a gradually increasing warning tone.
Beep. Beep beep . Beepbeepbeep, beebeebeebeeeeeeeeeeeee.... (aaand I'm spent).
You do realize that ads are one of the more common vectors for drive-by malware these days?
I've found that a proper "QA" group is also pretty good at discerning bugs VS features.
Thanks for the informative response. I haven't used iOS in awhile (well, newer versions) so it's cool to hear about what has been added.
P.S. This would also be great for shared devices/media. If I want - for example - authorize a music or movie purchase for the family while I'm on the road, etc. I somewhat do this on Android already as I have an account that's shared between my phone and TV box (just purchase it on the phone).
