Tinder sucks. No way to know more about a person than pictures and brief one-liner.
That's probably part of the success. If you think someone is interesting beyond a picture and one-line-description, you have to TALK. Like normal people, you know? But as I understand tinder, that happens only with people who find your picture at least mildly ok, too. So it's basically old-school flirting, but lowering that entry bar of that embarrassing "first step"
Also easy enough to create throwaway accounts. OKCupid and similar free dating services keep the bar higher than a gallery of random mugshots.
Pay attention. "EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE" means it is not a real message.
Except for that part that said "This is not a drill" that means exactly the opposite.
OK, I can see now where you're coming from. You're saying that the "Excercise"-intro should put the user into excercise mode and process the following instructions depending on that "mode"
Word of advice from a software developer: Don't.
Yes, it works, but every programmer can tell you that functions that behave differently based on some external state are prone to bugs. That's why functional programming was invented.
Here's what you really don't understand. Any real request for supplies will be signed by an official that can authorize that request.
We're talking about a phone call on speakerphone here... Your whole "excercise header" may get lost.
YOU don't know that, and that's fine. YOU are not the intended recipient of such messages. YOU don't get to tell the experts how you would do it based on your ignorance of the process.
Does that make it clear now?
Yes. It's absolutely clear to me what kind of "experts" were designing that process. Probably they do need a clue on how to do their job.
If you're told in the same message that it's a drill and it's not a drill, then there is a misunderstanding.
No. It is STANDARD PRACTICE to use the phrase "exercise exercise exercise" to indicate that no matter what follows, this is an exercise message. This is not something new.
Do you believe that an exercise message that reads "exercise exercise exercise please send 500 gallons of potable water to the Waimea rescue shelter" should actually result in 500 gallons of water being sent? Of course not. "Exercise exercise exercise", words repeated three times so they are not missed, means the rest of the message is not real life and should be treated like, umm, what's the right word for it, oh yeah, an EXERCISE.
Meeep. Wrong example. Or rather an example done right, because it
a) contains indication that is an excercise AND b) does NOT contain a confirmation that it is a real order.
Let's turn your example into an example that followed tha Hawaii-missile pattern: a) contains indication that is an excercise AND b) DOES contain a confirmation that it is a real order. but use your wording and we get: ""exercise exercise exercise please send 500 gallons of potable water to the Waimea rescue shelter. This IS NOT an excercise. I repeat: This is NOT an excercise"
And a message that contains the words "This is not a drill" is clearly a real event no matter what someone might be able to broadcast befor or after the recorded non-drill alert message.
Well, actually sending out the emergency alert and people actually diving for cover is part of the real emergency too. The similarity to an actual emergency has stop at some point. I suggest that point be before it causes confusion and mass panic.
So it is manually "corrected" input that produces that result.
Yes... that's the best. After all, with carefully "corrected" input you're able to craft world class conspiration theories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
To show that this is a valid approach to decode the document they have to be able to decode larger parts of the text to something that make sense. That of course doesn't mean that it isn't a valid approach, there may have been deliberate misspellings by the writer before encryption and similar things.
Doesn't Hebrew have those Tetragramm thing where they leave out vowels
But unless they can produce longer readable texts IMO they haven't proved anything.
it's that the U.S. government could have helped coordinate disclosures to ensure that enough companies had fixes in place.
With all the NSA disclosures of the last years, the US government did not exactly proofed themselves as more reliable when it comes to fixing things as compared to keeping them private and using them to spy on others.
Please note that I'm NOT saying Chinese, Russian or any other government would be trustworthier, so skip those replies
That is a good point why facebook is dangerouis. But again, that does not explain how this is more evil than taking away the water from people and selling it back at them: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt20...
A few years later I was flipping channels and saw this same movie reviewer on one of the second tier stations. I guess Star Wars wasn't his only mistake.
I agree that almost-monopolies are not good because of reasons, but why these?
I think it's much worse that one single company is controlling half of the worlds beer market or that companies like Nestle have the food market cornered. And even if we restrict us to tech companies: Has the Microspft OS monopoly changed since everyone was concerned about that?
One is left to wonder if the fan base is supposed to (or actually does) fantasize about having sex with a battleship (or a carrier, or a destroyer).
*Facepalm*
OK everyone. Ready? 1. 2. 3! *Over a city sized megaphone*: "Rule 34!"
And it's a good thing. Whatever it is, you can either make fun of it or , well..., join. I will definitely have a look at the battleships. The cryptocurrencies look like they have huge moustaches so "Ha Ha!"
Of course they do, and yes it *does* exist. (Actually Identity death, and corruption seem to a theme with this one. No bleeping clue why though....)
Back to TFA though...
Why is this on/.? Yeah it has a theme of cryptocurrency, but that's the extent of it. A theme. If the performers had chosen anything else, we wouldn't be talking about it here.
Yes. We are talking about it here, because cryptocurrencies are
a science/IT/"news for nerds" related subject. Seeing what the "muggles" take away from those subjects, is an issue. Do they embrace it, do they make fun of it,
do they get the concept at all? Are we heading to a new buzzword round where every remote file store will be titled "cloud"?
They didn't say it is screwed, they said it is unstable, which, at least at the moment it is. How can you use a currency to price things when the value changes dramatically daily, even hourly? You can't.
Not quite, as you can use it easily.
It's just the risk that is on you if you accept it.

"public policy" could be meant literally: The Zoo can do it because it posts all prices at the gates

It is the result of decades of experience of people who do this for a living

Compared to that, facebook and Google are blips on the radar.

I guess that's what they are doing at the BER construction site....

And they should NOT disclose which customers were affected by the data demands!
How would that look like?
"These users were suspected by federal agencies of drug trafficing resulting in subpoenas for their data:" and a long list of names?
*Facepalm*

No, no trolling here or I'm and lots of others are being trolled too
Got the link from a news article what today's new idea for Blockchain is.
They're probably the only company now who hasn't done "something with blockchain" yet.
I mean: https://legalfling.io/
really?
But they don't claim that Monopoly money is superior to real money either....
I think you would get along with my wife.
Well... if you knew....
*ducking for cover* :-)
I love the US Dollar and the banks holding on to my money for me.
Me too. I like shopping in USD when it's down again compared to EUR.

It may risky or stupid to do, but you can.
Well, I got both as a present, so at least I won't be trapped in only one ecosystem.
Well... probably a second person got a parking ticket this month making the crime rate rise by 100%....
Well then probably that's the point that should be worked on.
