Ya...you might have too optimistic an opinion of how governments operate. Governments are...well, government operations. Lowest bid succeeds, and all that. I'd be willing to bet that the data is incomplete, spread throughout at least a dozen different databases and technologies, with random redundancies and inconsistencies, all of which are wrapped up by some fucked up oracle license which would necessitate the sacrifice of a country's first borns to access.
Whereas logistic companies actually need the data to be accurate, streamlined and accessible or their profits take a hit.
It's interesting that they call out technology companies about this, and never mention logistic companies who, arguably, have a far better data set because their business so deeply relies on it.
Spoofing has a number of legitimate uses. My company uses it, for instance, to paste on the main # of all outgoing calls, regardless of what line is in use. I don't want my patients to see the random number of the line I'm currently on, I want them to see my main number ( all goes to the same place, mind you ).
As long as there's a way to do this going forward, I'll be happy with this change.
I can't be the only one wondering about the nature of this miraculous product which uses no chemicals, yet somehow manifests in the material world as a coating.
Ah, we're playing semantics now are we? Count me out. The moment we start playing the semantics game the conversation is over; it's now a game of egos.
Well, ok, "Freedom" as a concept is quite a bit more complex than that, and something I was trying to avoid in making my point that "concern" over trolling is contrary to freedom in this context.
We all give up measures of our freedom to participate in society; that's the cover charge, as it were. At it's most basic, this can be considered a viable definition of "evil" btw; the deprivation of freedom. No one would argue that we should all have absolute freedom, of course, which is where the notion of "necessary evil" comes from.
That said, I get extremely weary when it comes to applying restrictions on freedom of expression of thought, regardless of the reason. I've seen examples of fake news that were more dependent on the interpretation of the content than the actual content itself. Freedom of speech has been universally recognized as being so critical precisely because of the damage curtailing it causes to society's health.
That means "fake news" must be allowed, even celebrated, in any society who holds freedom of expression and thought to be a high ideal.
Their concerns over "fake news" seems contrary to the notion of "freedom". Freedom means the ability for anyone, anywhere, to do what they will regardless of your opinions.
Their concerns undermine their credibility, although I do agree that the lack of net neutrality and continued surveillance are concerning.
They offered no proof, story kept changing, and showed no interest in our answers unless we could validate their theories," Jassy wrote in a tweet on Monday.
Kinda sad this got modded as "Funny" ( as of right now anyway ), it's more +5 Sad because you know it won't happen. Men and boys are expendable, they exist to support and provide for women...and that's precisely how society views them.
Welcome to the "patriarchy".
As an aside, I'm conflicted on encouraging more people to go to college. Funding is already a shitshow ( student loans being guaranteed, colleges having blank checks ), and the indoctrination environment on college campuses aren't healthy for people to be subjected to. That said, I would absolutely love to see programs aimed at boys for the trades ( construction, plumbing, electrical, machinists, ect... ).
I'm glad they're doing something, because their delivery service is horrible right now. Missing packages, packages that take a week to have a status report, drivers who couldn't find their ass with both hands, nevermind a condo. Amazon instantly went from my #1 stop for shopping online to last because the only delivery option in the area seems to be their shipper. It's so bad that if I can't find it anywhere else ( including venturing outside, which tells you how desperate I've become ), I seriously wonder if I need it over ordering it from amazon.
Was anything released incorrect? Were the emails false, for instance? Was her insulting a sizable portion of the country Russia's doing? Was Russia behind her corrupting the DNC primary process?
Is Russia's biggest crime, in fact, that it did the job the media might have done in past generations? Today's media was all about helping Clinton to the presidency by almost any means necessary, and let me tell you; ironically that hurt Clinton more than it helped.
Trump just happened to be in the right place at the right time, with the right attitude to get the job ( loud, amoral and full of shit ).
Look, if you actually call in to those kinds of conference calls, you deserve it, don't you?
My inbox is full of what can only be called "optimistic" conference call organizers, but I'm wise to their game and simply don't bother with it. I'm the one doing the work, so they can blather on all they want, I decide what gets done and how. If they're curious, they can read the emails I send out about it. If they have some input, they can even respond to those emails and get a response.
Colleges and the government have effectively conspired with each other to transfer vast amounts of wealth from A to B, leaving C holding the bag. While the adult students are stupid for accepting the terms, the colleges are taking advantage of their immaturity to write a blank check for unlimited funds..so of course the price of college skyrockets. Why wouldn't it? They've been given a license to print money, and it's assured because the government presses teachers and other educations to espouse the values of college degrees.
I don't know how this carousel stops, but it's going to violent and messy when it does.
This implies that attending college is a stupid decision. However, there is significant evidence to the contrary. Is there, though? What we have evidence for is the massive student debt problem across the country. Colleges may provide a boost in income, but apparently it's not enough to offset the cost; ie, they simply aren't worth it anymore.
That's what we have evidence showing. What were you suggesting?
Help me out here; people accepted these loans, having access to the terms ahead of time, correct? They were adults, presumably, who made these commitments, right?
Why, then, should we be looking to forgive them for making bad choices? Stupid decisions should be painful, so as to teach people not to do them anymore.
I say this as someone who will be paying off his student loans for at least the next 20 years. I made a remarkably stupid decision and I'll own the consequences.
Which is fine if that's your passion or you want to try to make it work, but don't then whine to everyone about the financial burden you agreed to to get your questionably useful degree ( which is a popular pasttime for humanity degree holders ).

Anyone know why you'd want to script CAD documents anyway? Honestly curious.
He's not wrong; iPhones are a luxury item. If you can't afford the hike, you shouldn't be buying one to begin with.

Plus credit unions are "Buying locally", which helps your immediate area far more than shipping the cash away to somewhere across the country/world.

Is there anything news worthy about the notion that our models might be incomplete?
Spoofing has a number of legitimate uses. My company uses it, for instance, to paste on the main # of all outgoing calls, regardless of what line is in use.

What do they consider "moderate"?

Wait, that sounds familiar.
We should sentence the Finnish to telepathy.
When time comes for me to buy a new TV, if I can't find a non-smart, non-camera equipped TV then I'll forgo the purchase.
Too much nonsense in modern TVs, too much crap I'm being asked to pay for that I don't want.

Any professor dumb enough to do this deserves whatever they get, particularly if the student is female.

There's plenty of contempt to go around.

Not inferior but certainly not as useful.
