Did you not understand something about the words "data" or "study", or are you under the misapprehension that the plural of anecdote is data?
I understood it perfectly. I carefully chose to present some data, based on personal observations. It's just too small a data set for a proper study or drawing any general conclusions. It is no more or less invalid data than my observations that rain falls, sunshine heats, stars move in the heavens, etc.
This is a fraught and complicated issue, which suggests taking some hard looks at hard numbers. To me it's unlikely that being homeschooled is any more influential than any other social institution in human history. It's clearly not a universal path to -- I mean, whatever, pick your favorite bugaboo -- so to anyone claiming harm, it had better be measurable.
Well, there was "home schooling" for millennia, and it didn't do well for humanity as a whole. Since general public schooling began less than 200 years ago, look at the progress that has been made. I think denigrating public schooling should be looked at harshly. Now I'll be the first to agree that not all public schools are good, sometimes due to teachers, sometimes funding, and sometimes just the makeup of the student body (whether it's politically incorrect to say so doesn't mean that this doesn't have bearing on a school) In the US until recently your options largely were moving to a home served by a better public school or private schools, both of which only the more well off could afford to do. For some schools, home schooling would be seen as an improvement. In general my personal opinion is that home schooling should be governed and regulated no less than public school - meaning holding and maintaining teaching certificates and attending teacher workshops, state oversight, and state tests. This ensures that all children have at least a minimum common education.
I don't listen to talk radio and never have. You know, dripping with hate and condescension is no way to treat your fellow Americans, but we've long past that point, haven't we? You're just going further and further left, and leaving the rest of us in the dust.
What's funny is I was a solid conservative, and then the Republicans moved so far to the right.... (Hint: my core positions on a lot of things haven't changed, others have, naturally, no one is a rock unless they have challenges of various sorts)
Donna Brazile said after Seth Rich was killed, she kept the blinds down to protect from snipers, possibly Russian.
I'm sure you have that quoted from a reputable source?
Obama knew Russia was engaged in bribery ($500,000 to Bill Clinton), kickbacks ($145 million to the Clinton Foundation) and extortion in order to gain control of North American atomic resources â" yet still approved the 2010 deal to give Moscow control of 20% of America's uranium. FBI Director at the time: Mueller.
They don't have control of 20% of America's uranium, but 20% of the then active refinement capacity. A slightly different thing. Want to tie the rest of your assertions to facts and some reasonable facsimile of a coherent thought process. Just throwing a bunch of unsubstantiated statements against the wall to see what sticks is a pedestrian Trump tactic and in past was automatically a sign of desperation.
The DNC/Clinton machine paid for fake Piss Dossier which was used as justification for FISA warrant to spy on Trump/campaign. Also, Manafort worked for the Podestas in helping seal up the Uranium One deal, and the Podestas worked directly with the Russian government to do it. The smoking gun.
A) Apparently the DNC (haven't seen proof of Clinton yet) paid for additional work on a dossier started by Republicans. Have to hand it to the sellers, they sold the same work twice. It should be noted that the Dems didn't use it though, so did they really pay for it or was it some conspiracy to tar and feather them? As several DNC personnel questioned about the dossier stated that if they knew about this dossier, they would have used it.
B) Ooo, you have a link to potential proof that the Podesta Group worked with Uranium One. Great. What's it prove since as much was already admitted?
C) You provided no proof of Manafort working for the Podestas, the Podestas working for the Russian gov, nor that said dossier was used for anything FISA related. In fact, FISA warrants were already out for tracking various foreign nationals, and Trump's campaign was captured in that net because they communicated with those under surveillance. The Trump campaign itself was never the subject of any FISA warrants.
You're obviously eyeballs deep in misinformation. Before you respond, you should definitely get some citations from reputable sources to back your claims, because right now your assertions are almost wholly unsubstantiated falsehoods.
So they found a bootleg copy on the internet. That is illegal.
Actually it isn't illegal, what is is the person that posted the illegal copy. Check your copyright law, it pertains to creating and distributing copies. Not buying/obtaining one.
Funny admission, all my stuff is posted via Apple or Linux as well. However, grammar/spellcheck is disabled across all devices because that's easier than training each one for my specific usage, of which/. is a minor minor part.
do you have any data/study that demonstrate kids exposed to social world of a real world community, including among other things, "church, sports, and social field trips" etc, are less exposed to reality
For data, yes, I do. I have 2 sets of neighbors that home schooled for years. Their kids are having difficult times adjusting to and integrating with society as they leave the safe zone of their cloistered nest.
also , given the snow-flaky behavior of kids coming who come out of public schools, who loudly, and sometimes violently, demand they want to to be protected from ideas that conflict with dominant establishment "liberal" ideology, there is enough proof, that contrary to what you say, brainwashing and inability to deal with reality is definitely a public school thing. whether it is also home school thing is yet to be demonstrated.
And yet the overwhelming majority of people with influence in the public sphere are not home schooled. In fact, a shocking number are not even liberal. Both proving the lie to your unsubstantiated assertions. Are there kids coming out of public school that are woefully incapable of dealing with life in society? Of course, but they are in the minority of those graduating from public schools.
I think it's fair to compare the 330i as an entry level sports sedan. Audi has competitors, and possibly Mercedes in this class, although for Mercedes that would be for the individual to decide if they really qualify as sports sedans. Sporty sedans, sure. For a domestic if you similarly stretch the sports sedan qualification, you could possibly pick a Ford Fusion Titanium (also clocking in at near $33K base) The Toyota brand ceded the sports sedan market to Lexus, where it'll cost you more than a BMW in many cases. Nissan/Infinity/Kia/Hyundai/Genesis really don't have anything in the sports sedan entry level category worth talking about that compares to a 330, or even a 320. (There's a reason BMW has its reputation and everyone compares their cars to BMWs - their maintenance and repair history post 50K not withstanding) That leaves GM and Chrysler products, none of which hold a candle. The rest are left out because at best they have sedans with sporty exteriors.
Note that you're comparing to a Model 3, so whatever you choose should be comparable, otherwise you might as well compare it to a GMC Yukon for all the validity that comparison will have.
Credit unions and the like are your friends, in these cases. I actually utilized an old account in a credit union completely separate from my main banking needs for Paypal. There's 0 possibilities for Paypal to tie into any significant amount of cash. Note that with a run rate of more than $1K a month on average, you should have at least 4-6K in the bank anyways for emergencies. So if you create a secondary account for Paypal, most banks will not charge you extra fees for that account, as long as it is not underfunded for when you do purchase something.

The problem with windows is that it makes this type of attack trivial once the basics are worked out. I'm pretty sure last I checked that Linux is a much more heterogenous system even within the kernel itself, and that no bets can be made with any one piece of information about the installed OS to own it whereas with Windows - hey, write a small DLL here, inject into System32.DLL there and insert into the registry file under the run once key - takeover complete, and you have 80-90% of the desktops in the world at your bidding. It really is almost that simple. Now you have enough computing power to go after the real targets. It's absolutely scary how simple it is to own a windows system.
I generally hold all EULAs/License terms of this type that restrict right of First Sale to be in violation of that right, and therefore subject to the exclusion clause found in most of those types of agreements (should anything be found to be in violation or unenforceable, the rest of the agreement holds...) and merrily go about my set by precedent legal activities, no matter what those terms say. It's why most people never bother reading EULAs, because they're technically nothing more than CYA toilet paper for the seller. In fact, the only place that I've seen EULAs really have any teeth is in protecting the seller from legal action, and then only in certain cases such as in the commonly seen "this product not suitable for use in critical applications" clauses.
Personally, I view anything that's not signed by me as unenforceable on me in general. So, unless you have proof I agreed to something, I didn't agree to it, no matter what is said and so far as I know the US legal system agrees with that view in 99+% of the cases.
The phone "app" IMNSHO should never be active unless I activate it by calling someone or receiving a call. Same with Messages, as both rely on OS level connectivity, and the OS services those apps when something inbound happens
iOS may service those apps but, then, it's taking on the same role those apps perform for themselves on Android. Those apps have to listen to the radio for incoming calls and messages, so they will use power even when backgrounded; and even if the OS is listening on their behalf, whether or not the OS lists that usage under the app.
This is going to be interesting. The phone "app" is the app that allows you to dial, etc. The cellular radio connection is held and maintained by the underlying OS, in both iOS and Android. The apps merely register and call those APIs. I am assuming the phone app does this also, because that's how all other apps communicate with the cellular functionality and, at heart, that's all the phone app is really doing. The only difference is that the phone app can be activated by an inbound call, hence the monitoring piece, but that should be a callback into the app at worst, and a launcher/activation call at best. Messages should work the same in Android (SMS being a feature inherent to the cell tower connection itself) and for Message (FaceTime/iMessage functionality) it is a data driven connection that runs on network connectivity by preference with a fallback to cellular connections, if allowed. Inbound would either require the OS to maintain and monitor the data connection or do some interesting management of radio state. I'd vote for the latter, but that could also have some bearing in areas such as mine where we have multiple overlapping towers in a weak area. And that just indicates that Apple or Verizon's cell tower connection management software may be crappy.
In IOS with Messages there's slightly more going on, because a connection is made to the central server that stays "alive" to indicate you're online.
If we weren't talking about a service meant to support full-time connections, I'd say the keep-alive was necessary but, for this use case, it's just silly....When network conditions change, the phone would reconnect on its new network and the old connection would then close; the phone could even close the connection to Messages before turning off radios, so Apple's servers wouldn't have to maintain the connection.
That sums it up pretty precisely, although the notification for turning off radios is a pure send, as there's no guarantee that there's an actual connection available. Apple's servers have to already do everything you say.
In general, though, I think we're in agreement that both major mobile OSes are choosing not to honor certain settings which prevent them from monetizing us like they want to. And think about it, before you say Apple doesn't monetize location data: why would they ignore your choice to not provide it to them if they weren't?
Are they actually gathering data? Are they ignoring your choice? If you turned on Find My iPhone, location data is on by necessity, but I haven't confirmed whether data is being sent back continuously or if there's some real time tracking algorithm. It probably is something I should look into one day, but right now being able to find my phone if I forget it somewhere (happened once within the family) is more important to me and the time is not available. I can think of several ways the system could do function and still maintain privacy. I also know that Google tracks you.
As ac above said, if you're serious about security, you have FileVault enabled. With FV enabled you get no access to the file system until you properly authenticate yourself. If you've gone that far, you probably have set the root password also.
Things like phone and messages I would expect to run in the background regardless, but I would also expect to see them using less than 1% battery if you haven't used them. Of course, I've never really looked at the IOS battery usage menu that closely, as my iPad all last days, with the one I use as a Chromecast remote lasting weeks between charges; does IOS not list the radios separately from the apps using them?
iOS only lists battery usage by app. The usage also doesn't equal 100%, but is merely representative of percent of battery usage by app. So background connectivity at the OS level is not included. The phone "app" IMNSHO should never be active unless I activate it by calling someone or receiving a call. Same with Messages, as both rely on OS level connectivity, and the OS services those apps when something inbound happens, or you activate them yourself. In IOS with Messages there's slightly more going on, because a connection is made to the central server that stays "alive" to indicate you're online. My thinking is the ping rate is set too high or whatever they're doing, and they could significantly lower the battery draw by making it passive and utilizing the SMS path for activating Messages.
Regarding iPads, multiple things are in play here - I can actively use an iPad for 10 hours a day without recharging, far more than any iPhone I ever owned with comparable use which movies and games. There's no cellular phone draw on mine anyways, and messages appear to run on a very low power wi-fi ping. The nexus tablet I have works about the same near as I can tell so Android/iPad battery performance is roughly on par based on the 1 Android tablet I have for comparison.
All I can say is I forgot about the LSE/WPBT paths. It was mentioned long ago, and was another reason I tacked onto my list of why to never install Windows on a system, but the reasoning behind the "it's effectively a virus" listing was forgotten.

I'm doubtful you can get any meaningful data service in a metro area. I'm fortunate if I can get 10Mbps download speeds over Verizon's LTE in any of the major metro areas, except maybe at 3am on a Monday. During normal business hours forget about it.
I believe that the OS no longer honors the settings you set. Certain things that you were able to turn off in iOS no longer seem to turn off. If I select no background processing, that means mail should never be active, yet, somehow, it sucked 20+% of my battery in the last 24 hours, in background processing mode, no less. Phone is listed as 30+%. The interesting thing is, I hadn't used my phone that particular day, meaning it is most likely the weak cell reception where I was and whatever algorithm it uses to connect to the tower. iOS 11 is much more aggressive in attempting to connect, as iOS 10 would last 2 days in the same location under the same use case and the drop in battery life happened the same time as the upgrade to iOS 11, except then it was really bad, with the phone lasting maybe 7 hours without recharging. I'm now up to maybe 14, but can't for sure say that the phone is in the same state as pre iOS 11, since the battery charge/recharge cycles were greatly accelerated and another few months of (ab)use can add up on an already heavily used 3 year old phone.
ZFS, yes, you can seriously chew up resources with that one, for good reason though. Would I want it on my dev box in that capacity? I prefer a lean dev box that's easily replicated. apparently different strokes.
As for the century mark - it's only in relation to Chrome that there's issues. I have my browsers tuned to minimize excess crap, so hitting 100 open pages uses quite a bit less memory and CPU than they would otherwise. Not using Chrome is #1. Killing prefetch is the #2 CPU/RAM saver, uBlock #3, a few other settings and tweaks remove a whole crap load of other things in my case.

The interesting thing is, I hadn't used my phone that particular day, meaning it is most likely the weak cell reception where I was and whatever algorithm it uses to connect to the tower. iOS 11 is much more aggressive in attempting to connect, as iOS 10 would last 2 days in the same location under the same use case and the drop in battery life happened the same time as the upgrade to iOS 11, except then it was really bad, with the phone lasting maybe 7 hours without recharging. I'm now up to maybe 14, but can't for sure say that the phone is in the same state as pre iOS 11, since the battery charge/recharge cycles were greatly accelerated and another few months of (ab)use can add up on an already heavily used 3 year old phone.
This just indicates that someone was very very sloppy. Sloppy like MS coders. ;)
I just had a fun set with him. He's not bad at trolling.
In my case - I have background processing turned off. This still doesn't stop a 50% increase in battery drainage.
ZFS, yes, you can seriously chew up resources with that one, for good reason though. Would I want it on my dev box in that capacity? I prefer a lean dev box that's easily replicated. apparently different strokes.
As for the century mark - it's only in relation to Chrome that there's issues. I have my browsers tuned to minimize excess crap, so hitting 100 open pages uses quite a bit less memory and CPU than they would otherwise. Not using Chrome is #1. Killing prefetch is the #2 CPU/RAM saver, uBlock #3, a few other settings and tweaks remove a whole crap load of other things in my case.
good tip on the membrane, probably works on tenderloin too, provided you don't buy them already peeled.
Does KFC even have a website? Can you call KFC for takeout? I suppose you'll let us know.
That's a set of funny comments. Thanks.
