Yes, because 'an eye for an eye' style revenge on an innocent mistake is the "right thing to do". Nobody will be going to court to fix this, the relevant insurance companies will work that out between themselves on a more civilised manner.
Same physical street, with different street names for different sections. As an ex-taxi driver I can confirm that, regardless of the kind of map you are using, it is very easy to find the wrong address. There should have been a second, more reliable, identifier for the demolition, eg: a demolition notice pinned to the front door.
I've been a corporate plumber for 25+yrs, it's always been like this, even in the mainframe world of old, most coders were employed to do "corporate plumbing", the frameworks, tools and libraries we have today are a direct result of a massive 50yr global effort to automate corporate/government plumbing.
hire people to write a bunch of new bugs on top of the framework that does the actual work.
That made me lol. It holds true all the way from Excel power users to the EEs who design the chip circuits. There's a kind of recursive irony in the fact that the EE cannot design a modern cpu without the aid of modern CAD/CAM tools.
The guy in TFA sounds like an "ideas man", ie: an expert in wishful thinking, exactly who does he think will create his code-less utopian future? Having said that I think he has a point buried under his poor choice of words. There is a tendency for geeks to dismiss philosophy, art, music, literature, as enjoyable but impractical pursuits which is odd since most of the great mathematical/scientific minds of the last 500yrs have not only cherished these things but they have also contributed heavily to their content and growth.
Art and Science are bedfellows that feed off each other, Science itself is a philosophy based on the faith that the real world exists outside of our own thought processes, religion is wishful thinking combined with a lack of imagination.
So this guy is being led to slaughter for a crime that does not exist
UK judges are trained rather than elected, they know the law and will see this for the publicity stunt that it is. Of course the media will have forgotten all about it when they guy walks out of court (if he ever gets there). OTOH unlike the UK, a false arrest suit in the US could make the victim richer than Scrooge McDuck.
"Payroll robberies" were a thriving industry when I started my working life in the 70's, electronic transfers have eliminated that risk and reduced insurance premiums, so good luck finding an employer who pays your wage in cash rather than direct deposit into your bank account.
It also assumes a person is either introverted or extroverted when in reality most people adapt their behaviour to deal with whatever social context they find themselves in.
Finding out and accepting your nanna/uncle/parents are human is an important part of growing up. FB no longer needs to pander to teenage social angst to be popular, it thrives among adults because it is a convenient way to keep in touch with friends and relatives who are physically distant. eg: my son lives 2hrs away, my daughter and 3 grandkids live 2hrs away in the opposite direction, my brother lives on the other side of Australia, best mate retired and moved to a bush town, etc,etc...
It's also full of old memories for greybeards like me. I joined about a year ago as one way to keep in contact with my 35yr old son who was in the US at the time, I also hit like on my old HS page and people I haven't seen since the early 70's started saying "hi". It's fascinating (and a bit weird) seeing photos of 50-something year old "friends" who I haven't seen since they were teens.
FB can provide these things because "everybody" is on FB, in some ways it serves the same purpose as a old fashioned telephone book. It will be very difficult for a direct competitor to achieve a user base of "everybody", that ship has already sailed.
I don't go to the supermarket just to buy bread and milk because the fuckers put it right at the back of the store. Similarly I don't go to FB to browse slashdot. Neither the supermarket or FB are stopping you from going elsewhere.
My grandfather's generation (WW1 era) understood electrical wiring as a kind of plumbing, many never trusted it because early systems had a bad habit of shorting and burning the building down. As recently as the 60's-70's he and many others believed that if you left a wall socket switched on, electricity would leak out and cost you money, or worse still, start a fire.
Replace your mouse pad with rough sandpaper, randomly rotate sandpaper before a new session. The spooks will be looking for a group of terrorists with Parkinson's disease, plus it keeps your mouse feet clean!
Yeah, I'm an 80's programmer, I've spent nearly three decades trying to automate myself out of a job. The definition of "programming" is changing, the coders of the future will have to get used to training and maintaining AI assistants. Professionals from all walks of life who haven't studied statistics will be at a distinct disadvantage when working with the new tools.
The paper is newsworthy in the same way as creationism in science class is newsworthy.
The only significant (and cruel) state sponsored gender discrimination remaining in the western world is against fathers in family courts where the default custody arrangements are dad gets the kids 4days/mth, mum gets the kids the other 26 and dad is forced to foot the bill for her privileged position in the eyes of the law. When will modern feminists stop openly supporting sexual discrimination against dads in divorce court, if gender equality is actually anything more than a slogan why are they actively lobbying AGAINST equal custody rights for both sexes?
If I'm wrong then it should be easy to point to a feminist organisation that has come out in support of 50/50 shared parenting, and yes every feminist organisation in the US has been politely invited to show their support by various fathers rights groups. To date not one of those organisations have accepted that invitation and many have actually responded by voicing their support for the status quo.
The whole premise is that people find some science more credible than other science based on sexist judgments.
Agree, your defense of this paper is pretty conclusive evidence that some people can't tell the difference between a political argument and a scientific one.
If she goes to jail then Powell and Rice should also go to jail for setting the precedent. Either the State Secretary's correspondence is private, or it's not. The republicans can't have it both ways.

Yes, when Brits talk about "The city" they are referring to London's financial district, it's the equivalent of "Wall St" in the US.
insert picture of Trump's fingers.
Government is a business
Yes, keep believing that, and when the US elect Trump as CEO it will finally have the government it deserves.

They tested it on Apollo 13.
They could set the Van Allen belt on fire.
OMG we will all be crushed by Van Allen's pants.

Who let the Trump voter in?
The Jews wouldn't allow Muslims into their country.
Wrong and woefully ignorant
Disclaimer: I do not support Zionists or any other terrorist group.
There is insufficient information since they haven't explicitly marked the right angles.

Casinos are used to launder money all the time, you put dirty money on the table and get back 70-80% of the face value back in clean money.

Not really, "most other countries" in this context pretty much means "the western world". eg here in Oz, Obama would be classified as center-right.
