So if your card is stolen and charges were put on it. You are not responsible but the bank needs to deal with the theft of their money.
It's even easier with pin and chip. Now if a card is used without the pin, the merchant is on the hook for the charges. That's a big change, and it makes buying with a card even safer.
As an aside, my local credit union is amazing. I can dispute charges in a matter of minutes, and I can drive to any branch and have them print a replacement card on the spot. I can set up an auto-pay for my credit card charges too. It's hard to favor cash with service with that, except for places where cards are inconvenient, such at food trucks with flaky Square card readers plugged into a phone.
My major issue with the hyperloop is that it overlaps with planes and trains in all the wrong ways. It requires a fixed path like a train, but that path requires an order magnitude more materials and engineering to construct. Why not just lay rail? It is as fast as a plane, but constrained to its path in the tube. Planes can go to any airport, as needed. And that infrastructure is already built, along with the connection infrastructure to get people to/from the air hub.
It would be far, far cheaper to just lay high speed rail instead of the hyperloop. All the tech is available, well tested, and much closer to mass production. If you can't do HSR/bullet train and turn a profit, I don't see how you do so with the hyperloop. Sure, it's far, far faster, but the design, manufacturing, testing, certification, and implementation cost of what is essentially a giant pipeline with a flying submarine in it vs HSR is so much higher I can't see the ROI making the hyperloop worth it.
Your solution depends completely on how simplistic the math is that someone happens to be using. I worked in Matlab all of the time in grad school, and a lot of what my classmates and I did was come up with elaborate workarounds to implement the math we needed. There is plenty of math that you can't write in Matlab or Mathematica because they lack the symbols or the syntax.
And that's not even counting more than one schema for representing a given mathematical concept. The math I used for my grad school work is all on Wikipedia, but it's in an entirely different notation style. The concepts are the same, but how they are written make them utterly indecipherable to me. Even if a program handles one branch of math well, there's no guarantee that it will use a schema that a given student might be using.
Yep. They don't really collect ratings and publish them. As I posted above, they ignore anyone that they don't feel is the right demographic engaging with the right products in the right way. It's not data collection at all - it's a curation of people who will produce the data they need to support their business model and keep their customers happy.
No reason at all to point out that their customers are gaming the system - if that makes them happy, great!
Only a select audience of empathic TV viewers get to play the game and then the entire populations viewing habits are based on this group.
I was sent the Nielsen notebook and asked to record our household's viewing habits. I gave them two weeks of data, and they never contacted us again. Why? Because we don't watch a ton of TV. And what we do watch is not the profitable stuff.
I sort-of figured that dumping us would happen, but at the same time, it really reinforced how much of a scam the entire TV market is. If you're going to base your decisions on carefully curated data, you might as well just not use data at all. Just make it all up, and stop pretending that you're doing any sort of research.
Us not watching anything on the major networks during prime-time is really important data. It tells advertisers and the networks that for our demographics, what they're doing is not going to get our eyeballs. Looking at what did get our eyeballs might be informative, should they be interested in growing their market. But they didn't want to do that. Either we were invested in the prime-time networks, or we we weren't. And if we weren't, we weren't useful to them. It's that sort of head-in-the-sand thinking that is killing TV.
...you may be screwed if you don't think about them until the 30 day transition has passed.
That's not my experience anywhere it matters. If it matters, they have customer service reps that routinely help old people who just lost their AOL email address or threw out their computer because it was infested with spyware. Changing email addresses will likely require some time on hold during business hours, but it's not the end of the world.
The places where I've found it impossible to update an email address without access to the old one are always free or very cheap internet services that don't have customer service staff. And most of those places you should be able to just open a new account without losing anything but some internet points. I'd be a bit surprised if this guy wasn't able to pretty seamlessly purchase his house, even with a change in email address in the middle.
Has anyone here ever received anything of value from a class action lawsuit?
I might have gotten $150 from one. Still unsure about that. At one point in my life I was keeping my eyes open for class action lawsuits, in part because I was following the DRAM legal saga. I think there was price fixing for monitors as well, and maybe something else.
Regardless, I filled out a handful of claims, and got on with life. Moved to another state. At some point the lawsuit was finally settled, and it was a per-person award, money/people who signed up. Apparently not a lot of people did. I had moved on and they didn't have an address for me, so it went into my old state's unclaimed property bin. A relative was looking through the list, saw my name, and let me know. I filled out the paperwork, got it notarized, with no idea what I was claiming. There was no amount, no indication who it was from. Two months later I had a check for $150 and change. Strange as all hell. To this day I don't know what the money was for, but my best guess is from one of those lawsuits.
I recently read about a cool inverted version of this. You put bigass balloons in the ocean down a hundred feet, and use the excess energy to inflate them. When you want your energy back, you are using the pressure from the water to drive the air out and run a turbine. I think it's in testing somewhere, Spain perhaps?
If it's possible to reduce the hours of all of your low-skill workers without impacting your business's competitiveness, then why did so many managers not do so before this?
For lots of fabulous reasons. Reasons like preferring open floor plans to offices with doors that close. Reasons like calling a meeting to determine the agenda for the next meeting that you're going to have. Reasons like asking IT to fix the temperature in the office because the thermostats are technology.
You seem to believe that managers and the C-level and HR folks work on logic and evidence. They have in maybe 5% of the organizations I've either worked in or have become familiar with. (Current one is actually one of those places, and I'm throwing away a fair bit of money by staying here.) How do you calculate the hour reduction? How do you do this fairly without other employees crying foul? How do you do this in compliance with state laws around benefits? How do you fire an employee without a lawsuit because they claim you didn't let them work enough to get their job done? How do you attract employees who are looking for full-time work?
Are all of these easily solvable problems? Yes. But they take effort to solve. And brainpower. And data.
....why did so many managers not do so before this?
There's your problem. My current place wants to see that the work gets done. Wants bodies around vaguely between 10am and 3pm, because that's when face-to-face things happen. I've got 6am-3pm colleagues, and 10am-6pm colleagues. And normal hours ones that go to the gym for an hour in the middle of the day. And some that show up and leave it seems like every fucking hour. But the constant is that they all get their work done, get everything done outside of work they need to get done, get some sleep every night, and are generally the most productive people I've worked with.
I've never been somewhere before where management had the wisdom to be ok with this.
I never had an S5, so I have no idea how much better than the S4 they are. I can say that the S7 is remarkably better than the S4. My wife's S4 is on its last legs now, and when I have to use it for something, I'm amazed at how shitty it is. It's definitely lighter, but that's the only redeeming feature compared to the S7. Battery is less than half the S7, camera is shit in comparison, screen is shit in comparison, charging time is 2-3x as long on a smaller battery, it's slower, laggier, and crashes more often under heavy load.
Yes, it's got a removable battery. She goes through 2 of them while I run down my glued in one. And if I get 15 minutes of the car charger, I can outlast 3 of her batteries. Even if she gets a similar 15 min.
I honestly thought that I'd hate this glued in battery. I was 100% against it. Now I'm kicking myself for not changing up earlier. Charging and swapping batteries and carrying spares is a giant waste of time, and a pain in the ass. I bet you'd do OK with a S7.
I had the S4 all the way into the back end of the S7 era due to reasoning like yours. The charging port finally broke, so I was forced to upgrade. Despite the glued in S7 battery, I went with it. And you know what? It's a damn good phone. Fast charge gives me hours of use after being plugged in for 15 minutes. Wireless charging is super convenient. The power management tools are fantastic, and they can stretch the battery life many times it's base amount.
I get more use out of one charge than I got out of 2 batteries for the S4. I spent all that time dicking around, ripping the case and back off and putting them back on, swapping batteries to charge and replace, and it turns out what I really needed was a phone with a decent battery and good power management.
My assumption is that a truly bad battery will get discovered while it's in the warranty period, and thus replaced or the entire unit replaced. The bathtub curve and all. And yes, at some point this battery will be holding less and less charge, but after 3-4 years, given the rate of decay for the S4 batteries, I'll probably be ready for a new phone anyway if it's not broken by then. Given how long the S4 lasted me, I should be well under $1/day in hardware costs, headed under $0.50/day by then. I can't really get too worked up about that cost, given the benefits a portable internet gives me.
Worse, there's often a wage gap where you make enough to lose your benefits, but not enough to replace them. I know one family that is fairly poor, and was on medicade for health insurance. They "screwed up" by earning $500 too much last year, and now need to buy insurance on the market at $250/month or something.
So earning $500 too much money last year is going to cost them $3,000 this year. How's that incentive to work again?
Why do you think that a half trillion trade deficit is either too much or sufficient? You seem to have decided that that value has some deep meaning. I'm not sure what that is or why you think it. Sure, it's a big number, but when you're talking the US economy, they're all big numbers.
One store near me even has do-it-yourself conveyor belt scanners, so you can do a full cart at a time. If you shop with someone else, one scans and drops on the belt, the other bags at the end. They keep an extra cart at the end too, so you bag and drop into the cart, and leave your empty one in its place when you leave. I think our average checkout is about 1/3 of the time of the cashier's, with bags packed properly, and even ordered somewhat by where things are going in the house.
Holy shit. You're just figuring this out? Let me guess...you're 20? How did you get such a low userid? I ask, because McAfee has been fucking terrible for a decade at least. (Not as bad as Norton, but that's a low fucking bar.) Seriously. Go back a decade and look through/., and I bet you can find AV horror stories just like yours. Hell, some might even have my name on them.
I did a quick dive, and it seems that this is a new plant, not replacing an existing one. However there are existing plants that employ another 2700 people, with another 300 working in shipping and logistics for materials. (Population seems to be in the mid 4,000 people.) If the 2700 employed in the older plants are replaced by automation like this one, there won't be much left to do, it seems.
So no, no data point for the "they'll find other jobs/they need UBI" debate.
I think the concern doesn't quite lie in this area. The issue isn't that the device is going to cost more, it's that it's going to cost less. Why? Because they're going to mine your data for profit and show you ads.
So a few manufacturers start making internet connected toasters that burn images (subscription or one-time-purchase?) into the kids' toast in the morning. Those get popular. Then one of them has the bright idea to burn an advertisement on one side, while burning the Disney characters on the other, while selling the toaster for less. The rest of them get on board, and now when you go to buy a toaster, you've got mostly internet connected ones, with tiered subscription plans.
As an analogy, I fucking detest the giant display screens they slap in cars now, where the radio and climate controls used to be. But it's becoming harder and harder to find cars without them. The last time I looked at a model I might be interested in buying in a year or two, I asked if they came without the giant screen. Nope. Standard feature.
So now my options for a new car are limited, if that's a deal-breaker. Sure, you can return your toaster if it doesn't work without wifi. But if the only other ones available are cheap pieces of crap that burn your toast and fail after a year, what are you going to do? Hopefully the market recognizes that there are people like us with very strong opinions about design and implementation of tech, but that hasn't seemed to be the case in a number of market areas.
Why? I've got a Galaxy S7 with a non removable 3000 mAh battery, and it's been an awesome phone so far. With great power management tools and fast charging, I run out of power far, FAR less than I did with my S4 with an extra battery on hand. The fast charging means 15 minutes plugged in and I'm good to go for a couple of hours, at least.
I was in your camp until I broke the charging port in my S4, and was sort-of forced to switch to the S7. I am far happier with this phone than I ever was with the removable batteries of the S4.
Now, I do sort-of get the complaint about the SD card slot. I at least get one of those with the S7. Granted it's in this weird sealed compartment that requires a long thin piece of metal (included, but a toothpick would possibly work) to get at. But the extra storage is nice, because this particular model only has 32gb of onboard storage. The OnePlus starts at 64gb and goes up to 128gb, which I think reduces the pressing need for an SD card for most people. If you're storing 128GB of stuff on your phone, that's a little extreme. And in that case, you're limiting yourself to very few phones on the market.
But the battery being glued in? That's really a non-issue, in my experience.
Option 4) Use any of the above options to open a terminal, run your *nix search command of choice, find where Safari lives, and launch it from the command line.
I was recently handed a MacBook for compatibility testing of a web site with Safari. Only problem? How the FUCK do I launch Safari?
At least the GP seems qualified to do compatibility testing.....
These laws that ban sex offenders from social media effectively ban them from society and participation in it.....
That is so much bullshit. I agree with this ruling, but stupid hyperbole like this really doesn't make a good case for why this law needed to be struck down. This is about the only social media I engage with. And even then it's not really often. I am not banned from society. In fact, the reason I'm not really on social media is because I'm way too fucking busy for that. And no, I'm not in mom's basement. I'm flying around the country on business. I'm doing shit in my community.
Anyone who thinks that social media is required for participation in society is fundamentally broken. Go outside, and say hello to society in person.

That is so much bullshit. I agree with this ruling, but stupid hyperbole like this really doesn't make a good case for why this law needed to be struck down. This is about the only social media I engage with. And even then it's not really often. I am not banned from society. In fact, the reason I'm not really on social media is because I'm way too fucking busy for that. And no, I'm not in mom's basement. I'm flying around the country on business. I'm doing shit in my community.
Anyone who thinks that social media is required for participation in society is fundamentally broken. Go outside, and say hello to society in person.
