In addition, I am not sure what industry you are in, if they give out any sort of performance awards, literally no one cares...except the people in your industry.
In Hollywood, not only do the people in that industry care, but tens of millions of people care who watched it.
This has been gone over quite a bit in the past few days.
1) The Academy, not PwC, designed the cards (or contracted out the design). They used a different design house than in years past, ostensibly for cost reasons, but my suspicion is that someone higher up pulled some strings to get a new designer for whatever reason. 2) The #1 issue with the new design is not the typography, which is an issue...it's the contrast. The old design had gold envelopes with black lettering. Why is that important? So you can clearly see the lettering backstage where it may (or may not) be dark. In that way, the accountants might have been more easily able to see the lettering on their envelopes and more quickly corrected the situation. It's still their fault, but the Academy shares some of the blame, because they were more concerned with things like "How will this sexy envelope look when it's opened on TV" rather than "How easily are people able to read the outside of this envelope under pressure backstage."
I like them simply because they have a mustache for branding, and since I like mustaches and have one, it seems like a good idea to use their service.:-)
Seriously...I would suspect this is due to an attack of some sort. Just a hunch. And if so, isn't it the case that the larger the company, the bigger the target? Why not use smaller services? What's the real benefit of using AWS when you could use someone smaller that may be less likely to be a target for an attack?
These were found using the transit method, which measures a star's reduction in it's brightness as something passes in front of it.
They know that these sorts of occurrences are not things like sunspots because they can follow up using measurements of the wobbling of the star due to the gravity the planets exert on it.
Combine the two and you have a reasonable inference that there are planets orbiting this star.
If these are not planets, given the above two types of evidence correlating with each other, what else could they be?
You don't get to be free from the consequences of your speech. Free Speech only means the government can't (or legally shouldn't) censor you. It does not mean that if you speak Nazi-like remarks that you won't get a fist thrown at you.
Why is this so hard for conservatives and Trump voters to understand?
Because online poker companies around the would would love to get their hands on the software and plug it into their system, so that you'd never know if you were playing a computer or a real person. If you were playing the computer, you'd always lose.
Of course they could program their computers to simply know what you have in your hand and bet accordingly, but still..
A lot of this is based on how modern web developers build sites. Currently, and for some time, the mantra is "mobile first", which means you design and build a website on the assumption that most of your users are on a mobile device (essentially, any non-desktop device) and you modify the layout accordingly.
This often means that many websites have way too much white space and too little information because many folks have large desktop screens, and they are seeing a site that was optimized for a phone or tablet, and little to no attention gets paid to how it looks on your gigantic monitor.
Ideally you want to design for those situations, but its a truism in a ton of web-based industries that most eyeballs on a regular basis are people using their phones or tablets. It;s most important that it looks good there, and if you have the resources to design for a gigantic screen, you design for that too. But often that doesn't happen.
The difference between them is at least Pence is competent. They are both horrible, but one is much less likely to lead us into a war with another nation because of his inability to control his mouth.
No, he won because there's a whole swatch of pout and out stupid people in the middle of the country. People who couldn't see that he was and is a con man, and that he bullshits his way to the top. He's appointed people to agencies who literally have no idea what the agency they are appointed to does. He has turned ignorance and malevolence into a virtue, and then idiots like you accuse the left of being divisive?
The fact that there's a whole shitload of stupid people out there doesn't change the fact that those people are wrong.
I am not mad at people like you because Clinton lost. I am unconcerned that we have different politics. And I don’t think less of people like you because you vote one way and I vote another. I think less of people like you because you watched an adult mock a disabled person in front of a crowd and still supported him. I think less of you because you saw a man spouting clear racism and backed him. I think less of you because you listened to him advocate for war crimes, and still thought he should run this country. I think less of people like you because you watched him equate a woman’s worth to her appearance and got on board. It isn’t your politics that I find repulsive. It is your personal willingness to support racism, sexism, and cruelty. You sided with a bully when it mattered and that is something I will never forget. So, no people like you and I won’t be “coming together” to move forward or whatever. Trump disgusts me, but it is the fact that he doesn’t disgust people like you that will stick with me long after this election.
If it wasn't done to help Trump, why is there evidence of extreme elation among party operatives in Putin's circle when Trump won? Why is it so hard to believe that Russia preferred someone who would cause them less problems than someone who would cause them more , such as Clinton?
You are more likely to have that mindset if you are rural, though. There's lots of benefits to living a rural lifestyle, but for me the main one is the lack of interaction you will have with a diverse group of people. You aren't likely to understand the issues faced by an inner city black male if you can't talk to them, for example. Your worldview can easily become myopic and lead you to do stupid things like vote for Trump.
I understand that they are making these primarily for cars, but does Tesla have any plans to make consumer-friendly Lithium-ion batteries for general use? Seems like they could easily make these, and drive down the costs of these things pretty dramatically. Looking quickly on Google, general-use batteries seem to run hundreds of dollars. I'd be interested in one for various purposes if it dropped down into a $50-$100 range.
At the end of the day people vote. It doesn't matter if the party machinery is neutral or not; she won fair and square. It's not like the party machinery could count the votes for her twice and Bernie once.

You! You and your facts! Get out of here with those!
But they will see the film now.

Moron and stupid
Mean the same thing, you know.
Don't be redundant.

You could go for a run while you wait...

Unlikely, but possible, I suppose.

Except I'm white, born here, and a (not so proud) American.
No, it's actually pronounced "dumbass sister-fucking toothless Trump-voting cracker." FTFY.

As well you should. You supported a man who openly supported racism and misogyny and war crimes. You should be disavowed.
They are all true statements. I wouldn't expect Trump voters to care much about the truth though.
No, he won because there's a whole swatch of pout and out stupid people in the middle of the country. People who couldn't see that he was and is a con man, and that he bullshits his way to the top.

So you are saying you don't like the political discourse here? You don't like one side complaining about the politics of your side?
Maybe you need a safe space...

And those crowds mattered as much to Bernie's final tally vs Clinton's as Trumps large crowds will matter in his final tally vs. Clinton.
