But not as willi-nilly hoping to slow drivers down whenthere is no reason to slow down.
There is a system to that:
1. Center line: This is your lane. The road is wide enough for at least one lane for each direction. Everyone stays in his lane and nothing happens. No overtaking 2. Broken center line: same as above, but may use adjacent lane for overtaking 3. No line: Road may or may not be wide enough to pass oncoming traffic safely. Pay attention, keep to the right and use common sense 4. Double line: multiple lanes for at least one direction available. The lane on the other site is NOT your direction. Imagine this as a guiding rail and never ever cross.
If you now simply remove lines, this information is lost.
And this is even completly ignoring the fact that different speed limits (read: suggested maximum speed) require special lane markings.
SDCard handling in Android has been broken more or less from the beginning. Got worse when the first phones without SDslot mounted part of their internal memory as "external" and I'm not sure if the latest contraptions to fix that fixed anything or just turned it into a different way of broken.
It IS broken when you have GB of free space but can't install anything because some smaller memory partition is full.
We can't use 100% of the chemical energy available in food. So it has to be a lower number. And there is no indication why that efficiency should NOT be individual.
But this leaves us still with the other piss poor (or - learning about its history - rather literally shitty) method used on the other end of the equation: we can't say how much of the available energy (and here the calories are indeed fine) are actually processed and absorbed by the human body as this varies. (Hint: it's not 100% as there is still energy left in the digestive waste products)
Yes. So either Disney never should have been allowed to buy Star Wars, or other companies should be allowed to make Star Wars, too. Our economy is about free market and choosing which company gets your money. That's why we have so many breakfast cereals to choose from. But I can't choose which companies Star Wars movie to watch. That's communism!
It's prequels and reboots, messing up each and every of your childhood memories.
To add insult to injury: the new Star Wars worked because it was a remake. Disguised as sequel. *shrugs* Well it works sometimes. Austin Powers, Blues Brothers
Well, less jobs and money should naturally thin the herd.
#1: Why? #2 How? #3: naturally???!?!
Have you ever seen a natural herd with jobs?
Do you eat money? Do you live in your office?
It's not "natural" to starve in an over-sbundance of food just because you have no "job".
Granted, a job gives you money and money has been a well-tested way to distribute food, goods, "wealth", or anything scarce in general based on how much someone is contributing to produce them. But production is hardly connected to work or effort anymore. That's where this system starts to tear apart.
No. Natural selection would be reducing population to match available resources.
Which brings us right down to the problem: Our system has been working so far because the availability of resources (not limited to natural ones, but including produced food, houses, cars....) was closely tied to the amount of human work put into their production. More resources were only available if more people were working to produce them. Declining jobs in producing resource A (like: corn) have been offset by increasing jobs in producing resource B (cars, TV...) but production efficiency is rising faster than demand.
I'm sure that there are some burglars who would be ok with committing several counts of cold blooded murder for your TV and jewelry, but don't pretend that most people are ok with that. Most burglars leave a house once they discover that anyone is home.
Yes, as long as there are easier targets where TV and jewelery can be stolen without bloodshed. More burglers would take that risk if they had to.
it just goes straight up my ass, the thought of paying someone for doing nothing more than processing oxygen after being born.
Beside the sad fact that this seems to be the only thing some people know to do properly, what is your plan to stop automation that leaves less and less to do for human workers? Reducing population to match the remaining jobs?
But again: the problem is not that a possible intruder would know about weak locks. The problem is relying on weak locks!
It is not quite security through obscurity, but it is the same golden rule that confirms that some cipher is working: Assume every detail about it is public. Following that approach will lead to a secure control room: Assume it is public. Assume everyone would know about the cheap locks. Assume anyone could see your post-its. Simply because outsiders WILL see it. no matter if it's a SCADA selfie, a news team filming the presidents visit (you WOULD give him a tour, wouldn't you?), a janotor or the pizza delivery guy (They even deliver into the minuteman control rooms).
Don't get me wrong: Outlawing selfies from the control room is not wrong (indeed: the less the attacker knows, the more difficult the attack) but it might give a wrong sense of secrecy. If you have something that should not be seen, hide it and don't rely on a "no photos of it" policy.
But it's all about the people there knowing what is a secret and what is not and more important: what is in plain view, is not a secret.
"SCADA selfies" could indeed be dangerous. But not because someone sees the model of the command console or a schematic of the power plant (which will 99% look like ANY OTHER plant).
The dangerous thing is the password written on the blackboard!
Ask TV5. They had their website CMS and social media accounts taken over (IIRC ISIS) after they broadcasted a few interviews shot in their newsroom - with the passwords written on a whiteboard so that the whole digital media team could access the accounts....
I'd like to know that, too. From my last trip I still have a pound or so of US coins that in the end are worth hardly anything.
In the end it's not a problem that a penny costs too much to mint, the problem is, that it simply isn't worth anything!
Add to that an illogical system where a larger and/or heavier coin may be worth less than a smaller one and a very small denomination bill (1$), so it's no wonder that people don't want to use them.
Cracked games were a thing back at the schoolyard, when we could barely afford the blank floppies to copy the 12 discs of "Another world" or so, Fiddling with cracks and P2P to download stuff isn't simply worth the time anymore when after a few weeks, you can get the game at a decent discount at Steam.

How do you define EOL? I have a Nexus 4 and recevied a regular OS update a while after May.
Because lots of our body attributes are individual, height, weight (even with similar diets and workloads).
Ok, not individual as in completly random, but spread out probably in the good old bell curve way.
They apply more than you understood:

being sociopathic is not a crime, so that alone doesn't make those organisations criminal.
I wish it was sequels.

If a criminal trespassing on your property leaves because you're pointing a gun at them, then your gun has successfully done its job.
But if a criminal determined to trespass on your property brings a bigger gun and shoots first to avoid your gun, you've lost that gamble bigtime.
So you're saying, suicide is cheaper than basic income, too?
Technical term for that is "prosumer"

On another level, this is not complete garbage.

There are lots of people who have large stockpiles of small coins they are hoarding.
Because there isn't anything you can buy with even pounds of them.
Excuse me, but what are those paper notes you're talking about?
I'd like to know that, too. From my last trip I still have a pound or so of US coins that in the end are worth hardly anything.
In the end it's not a problem that a penny costs too much to mint, the problem is, that it simply isn't worth anything!
