I am a physician, and I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
My office sends out about 20-30 prescriptions a day. Unless it's for a controlled substance (ie: narcotics), there's NEVER a call back to the office to check if a script is legit.
And even if it is a controlled substance there's no call to the office unless the script comes in an unusual format (ie: a printed out script rather than an original signature of the provider).
I have security cameras being installed in the near future. (I bought the Lorex system and am waiting for the installation to complete.)
I'm putting up several cameras around the perimeter of the house but also putting up a few internal cameras. Ones to catch the entrances to the house, one for the basement window near the power mains, one to cover my bar, and one for the entrance to my master bedroom.
I figure that if someone breaks in when we're away those are the areas that would be targets. The bar one is for when the kids are older and have friends over. I want there to be no question if someone started drinking when they are not supervised.
As for recording when someone is (hypothetically) renting the house, I would certainly keep them all on. What if someone breaks in while the renters are away for dinner?
[...] They go to conventions to [...] feel like their lonely hobby isn't quite so lonely.
And there's actually nothing wrong about that. I collected comics as a kid. I loved going to a comic store (Commercial! Sacrilegious!) not just to see what the newest titles coming out where but to just be around others that at least understood something that I liked (and by extension, understood something about me).
My kids love comics. They're now 11 and 14 years old. I'm happy that comic characters (if not collecting comics) are becoming somewhat mainstream. We've been to a couple comic cons (Tampa and Philly) and they enjoyed geeking out around adults who love what they love.
My kids are 11 and 14. My 14y/o just got her first smartphone last month.
It's a couple year old iPhone 6S and it's locked down. Adjusting parental settings allowed me to prevent certain websites and totally removed the app store.
Yes, it's actually locked down more than I would like it to be. But I want her to get used to it as a locked down device with the opportunity to increase her permissions in the future.
Next year I'll probably let my 11y/o get a flip phone.
It's an open secret that when an iPhone installs an iOS update it erases the search database on the phone (Sherlock?). It can take several days to re-build that database and during that time the device does act sluggish and hotter than normal. Then things go back to normal.
That's why there's a rash of complaints every time the OS gets updated that the new version makes it slower.
When I lived in San Diego, my biggest complaint about In-N-Out Burger is that they never have enough parking spaces and their drive through line is so long that it also blocks parking spaces.
Now they are taking their limited parking and giving spaces to Tesla-only car charging. Own a Chevy Bolt/Volt, Ford Energi, Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, Fiat 500e, Nissan Leaf, no charging for you.
I suppose Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, Fiat, and Nissan can team up and by a slot on the same side of the street as In-N-Out?
Frankly, I can't remember ever seeing a branded charger from any of those manufacturers.
Tesla paid to put it up. Tesla can (and does) make it car specific. Capitalism at it's best.
Does anyone believe that a single policy will stop global climate change?
The Paris Climate Accord was a step in the right direction. If Trump wants to say he's taking a different step in that direction, fantastic. On the other hand, if he's saying that climate change is a Chinese conspiracy (or a normal fluctuation, or due to solar flares, etc.), that's another matter.
Is this something that's easy to set up on routers now? Both wired and wireless subnets?
Mine certainly doesn't make it either easy or obvious. I haven't upgraded my router firmware in quite some time, but if this is a thing, I'll certainly do it.
You do realize that "science" isn't just one guy. It's a large number of research teams that come out with competing models. Just like there's a lot of medical research that we shouldn't follow until there's a consensus statement from a governing body (ie: American College of Cardiology).
If you look at the IPCC (or other consensus groups) predictions, they conform fairly closely with reality.
If you find one that doesn't, please provide a link.
1 - I'm a relatively short guy. The Model S is a bit big for me.
2 - Newer tech. Want the autodrive features and everything else that's come out since early 2014 (ie: LTE cellular instead of the 3G in mine)
3 - Something different. I know from past experience that after ~5 years I'm usually ready to trade in to something newer. Since I can afford it, why not?
If Tesla no longer exists, I'll have to find a different electric car manufacturer. I know I'm not going back to an internal combustion engine. Filling up gas in the cold is for the birds!
Got my Model S in 3/2014 and hope to trade it in for a Model 3 with similar battery size in a couple years.
80k miles on mine so far and still loving it. Battery acts just like it did on day one. I had two proper services so far and took the car in for two other minor issues (a tail light went out once, and the wind shield wiper fluid didn't eject once). Original brake pads but third set of tires (both of the first two sets got changed under tire warranty at my local BJs).
Does great in the snow so far (in North East Pennsylvania) on standard all-weather tires. It's rear wheel drive. Wondering how much better the four wheel drive models could possibly be.
I never had range anxiety and my wife got over it within six months of owning the car. We take it everywhere and she only takes her SUV when my car is unavailable.
Like many companies, the one I work for monitors their employees' internet usage. One thing they track is employees hitting job listing sites during work hours. No linkedIn or HiQ or anyone else involved. How hard can it be?
In fact, it's a well-known trick in my company: if you want a quick raise, hit those sites regularly at lunch time, even if you're happy with your job and your salary. Do that for a while, and HR eventually calls you to propose you a better pay package - as if they magically knew you're not completely happy with your current conditions. I've had two pay raises that way, without lifting a finger:)
Interesting.
A friend of mine told me that their employer blocked access to the job sites at the router level, forcing people to use their phone minutes. When he complained to IT, the IT guy told him it was a service to the employees so that management wouldn't bother them because they were looking for other jobs.
I just got the iPhone 8 (my daughter is old enough to need a phone so she got my old phone).
The touch ID on the 8 is finally good enough that it doesn't slow down usability.
My hope is Apple perfects finger scanning off of the single piece of glass on the front of the phone and uses that as an option in future iPhones. Or, of course, continue the same style as the iPhone 8.
I love System76. Bought a desktop and several of their net top computers. In fact, by shear numbers I own more System76 computers than any other brand.
But why couldn't they just make a deal and take the Linux Mint Cinnamon DE and just add a few desktop images and screensavers and call it a day?
That being said, I keep one macbook at home for presentations (it's the only non-linux computer I own).
I haven't tried Impress in a while. Maybe it's gotten better.
But Keynote has drag-n-drop videos, beautiful master slide sets, pretty transitions, and supports multiple monitors with the ability to show one slide on the projector while previewing the next on the laptop monitor.
Now, do the shiney and pretty effects matter during a presentation? Absolutely. I'm not generally giving presentations to a bunch of tech guys or PhD candidates. I give them to adults with (at best) a high school diploma. And they like things with a little pizazz.

Why not just get a bluetooth keyboard? What way you keep it in the pocket and only take it out when you have to type?

Anyone know if XMarks works again? It's been bugging out the last few weeks.
I suppose I can switch to the Mozilla bookmark saving tool.....
I thought that was obvious.
That's why I chose the iPhone 8. TouchID is fantastically responsive now. Hope they keep the button in future spins.
Hint: Bitcoin and other Blockchain-related coins are not regulated by anyone.
Not only is currency manipulation not considered illegal when associated with these instruments, but insider trading can be legally done as well.

Who has jurisdiction?
NY State Police? NYC?
Which federal police? US (FBI)? Russia (KGB)? Chinese?
but I don't see them declining
