Nope. And cigarettes have never been proven to cause cancer, yet I believe that as well. There's at least reasonable evidence for those, even if the studies are flawed.
This is a case of someone deliberately doing a flawed study to find the opposite of "common sense" in a appeal to get punished and get attention from morons, like yourself.
Criminals usually use stolen guns. This makes them "untraceable". It also means that if you stop regular people from getting guns, you cut off the #1 source of guns for criminals.
And "organized crime" is shooting cops? I thought cops were shot by Black thugs, and that's why cops need to shoot all Black people first, for self defense.
organized crime is different than unorganized crime. Organized crime does things differently. The bodyguards for mob bosses are all "clean". They pass background checks, they buy legal guns, and they would survive police scrutiny if the police harassed them while driving around with Mob Boss in the back seat.
The study didn't isolate one, but mixed it in with other things. Yes, that was the only variable, but a variable in a field of confounds that weren't corrected for. You have to fully identify confounds and correct them. This study obviously didn't, thus is irreparably flawed, thus gives no useful information.
Solve the replication issue, to eliminate replication errors, and you'll eliminate cancer. As "aging" is linked to telomeres, solve the replication issue, and you might solve aging as well.
That's because cancer is a side-effect of living. When you can figure out how to prevent mutations in cell division, you would have cured cancer, but that same tech also gives immortality.
The study was about people with "behavioral counseling [increased] physical activity and reduced calorie intake" with and without trackers.
Without, someone might push harder, with, they may quit an activity sooner after hitting some goal. Or they are ignoring the counseling and trusting the tracker.
The study doesn't have enough groups to be "valid" to discuss the validity of fitness trackers.
Where is the group with a meal plan and a fitness tracker? Not there. How about a group with no plans, goals, or direction? Is the "control" group for weight-loss professional counseling, meal plans, and physical activity plans? How about a control group that's "lose weight, 'cause you should" and see how they track?
A control group C1 that has no plan or tracker, group E1 with tracker only, group C2 with paper plans handed out at the beginning and no counselor, group E2 with a tracker and paper plan, E3, with plan, tracker, and counselor, and C3, plan, counselor, no tracker.
Comparing all the groups across would give a better idea of the impact of a fitness tracker in multiple scenarios.
You can "solve" cancer by DNA checking every cell, and destroying those that aren't a 100% match to the reference cell. Though, we don't know if that would also kill the host, but it will 100% stop the cancer. What I've not seen studied is whether the mutations that commonly happen are in such numbers that cleansing them all would have any effect in a healthy person.
Or would that depend on age? Cleaning cells at age 12 would have little effect, as mutations are fewer, but in 80+, it would result in death, regardless of the presence of cancer. Genome mapping is not practical. Certainly not enough to map the genome of 95% of the cells of a person and comparing them all.
More likely is solving the problem by mapping the human genome, then re-designing DNA to replicate more relaibly. Solve the replication issue, to eliminate replication errors, and you'll eliminate cancer. As "aging" is linked to telomeres, solve the replication issue, and you might solve aging as well.
Easy big fella, I never said that. having a felony kidnapping charge will complicate your life,
You didn't "say" it, you assumed it. That it would result in a kidnapping conviction. Fine, you never said it. Then you went off on an non-sequitur. Then attack me for pointing out you silly non sequiturs and absurd assumptions.
Someone with more experience with the family court system than you.
Also, since you seem quite slow: A legal guardian taking their child back isn't kidnapping. https://www.theguardian.com/wo... Even in a foreign country, usually harsh on foreigners, a mother trying to kidnap her child was not charged. Rarely would such a charge be laid.
But if you want to argue that Lebanon is more rational than the USA, and the reasonable result of "arrested for kidnapping", being "released and told not to do it again" would never happen in the insane USA, then go for it. Similar examples are harder to find in the US, because the parents wouldn't have been arrested in the first place, but if you are so certain find an example. Go on, I dare you. Show me a single example in the US of two parents, taking their child from anyone and being charged with "kidnapping". It's legally impossible. But you know more about everything than everyone else combined. We should just call you Mr. Trump.
Get caught, then permanently lose custody along with felony kidnapping on your record?
I know plenty of felons with custody. that you know nothing means you should keep your mouth shut, not play Trump and assert that you know the truth because you are an "outsider" with no knowledge of the situation.
So leaving their child medically abused was better than breaking a bad court order? Sometimes you have to break the rules to do the right thing. The parents should have done that before the hacker did his thing.
Yes because everyone has the resources or wherewithal to make that happen.
What, there are people out there who don't have a phone? You can get a cheap mobile plan prepaid for under $20 a month, on a sub-$100 smartphone. Based on the circumstances described, the parents were capable of calls or emails to the local news stations.
kidnapping is usually a far less desirable action than hacking whatever the cause.
You can't kidnap your own child. If there was sarcasm, it was in the use of "kidnapping" to refer to a rescue, but you obviously can't even consider it.
Have the update shut down charging above 10% and shut down all functions and features other than 911 and display a warning every 30 seconds, if found to be defective.
They are treating the hazardous devices as if they are 1/1,000,000 chance of a problem. If that's the case then the differentiator they are using to separate the good from the bad isn't very useful.
I bought an external drive. I rip DVDs and such occasionally, and a PC is still one of the best ways to play 4k/3D movies. The software updates to allow playing the new features are first in PCs (then consoles, and last, dedicated players, if ever). If I had an internal optical drive, I'd not have bought an external. But both my and the wife's laptops have no optical drive, so the external drive was required.
Azure is insanely expensive for VMs. Azure is MS's cloud play to extend Windows developers into the cloud. A hosted API is cheap. A hosted VM is insane (and not portable). With most hosted VMs you can use an OVA or other container to move seamlessly between platforms. With Azure, you can't even move seamlessly between Hyper-V and Azure, and they are both MS VM platforms. You develop for a Windows box, but rather than running it as a.NET on a web server, you run it on Azure. If you want to run a windows-only service, Azure may be reasonable. But certainly not for "hosting" VMs.
That makes it easier to flip up the "Out of Service" sign in a blizzard rather than keep giving rides at the fair weather rates.
That loses them money. The cab driver paid $1000 (or whatever) for the car for the day. If he flips the sign and goes home, he loses lots. Instead, one of the major complaints in NYC is that the medallion cabs stick to lower Manhattan, for the more profitable routes. This behavior is so bad Green Cabs were set up because there was no competition with medallion cabs. When Manhattan is a mess, the medallion cabs become green cabs. They make more money by cherry picking, same as why the boro cabs were needed.
An actual free market requires payment for the empty leg back in to ferry people out. When that happens, people complain about paying the cost of their trip. If it was such a high cost, you could have found an alternate transport.
The market (as defined in the regulated market of taxi cabs) demands. That you are assuming some unrealistic "free market" when I'm talking about the actual market, as it applies to Taxis in NYC (as defined by the government) doesn't make me incorrect. It just makes you obtuse.
Customers wanted thinner, stronger, and water resistant. Three things all aided by removal of that jack. Customers asked for it, but just weren't clear about what they were asking for.
The VPN ban wasn't their idea, but their effectiveness in doing it is. In one of the many trade agreements, NAFTA, TPP, TTIP, etc., someone should have put in wording to ban region coding. How is it "free trade" when artificial technical barriers are erected to replace physical ones?
There's not a way to see the video. Looks like it's designed for corporate use only. I'd like to see some action in a lightning scene. In OTA digital, that always leaves a pixelated mess, as the CBR is overwhelmed by the percent change between frames. Though the same scenes on Netflix are fine.
Ban guns, and an organized criminal will have them anyway,
Ban murder and criminals will do it anyway, so better to make murder legal.
Nope, that logic doesn't hold up to any basic tests. Organized crime gets their guns legally. If they were illegal, then they would get caught and thrown in jail more often. So by all means, take the guns from criminals, most of them got them legally anyway.
