No. Traffic. Is. Traffic. The person requesting the traffic wants it asap all the time.
Not true. If I am audio chatting with a friend, I want packets delivered in milliseconds. But if I am running a torrent in the background, anytime in the next hour or so is good enough. It would be nice to be able to set my own preferences.
You are often asked for your real name, address, email, phone number, etc. If you type that information into the little text box, and click "submit", then you are consenting. If you click "Login with Facebook" then you are consenting.
If you are under 13, they are not allowed to ask for that information, and you are not allowed to have a Facebook account. My daughter has had a Facebook account since she was 8, but she lied about her age.
Fucking horseshit. I don't want to be tracked. It shouldn't matter how old I am.
COPPA doesn't say you can't be tracked. It says personal identifying information cannot be collected and stored. So if someone is under 13, a website cannot ask for their full name, their home address, their phone number, etc.
The reason this doesn't apply to adults, is because if adults don't want them to have this information, they (presumably) have enough maturity and judgement to NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.
Have emergency room admissions also fallen? My neighbor is an ER physician assistant, and she said that about 10% of injuries are Pokemon Go related, mostly from people running around without watching where they are going.
Actually, no, that is not "evidence". It is opinion, unsupported by data. Even the title of the article, "Is fructose bad for you?", gives the game away. Why is it phrased as a question? If there was supporting data, the title would have been: "Fructose is bad for you".
Even the article itself admits there is no data: Experts still have a long way to go to connect the dots between fructose and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Higher intakes of fructose are associated with these conditions, but clinical trials have yet to show that it causes them.
In summary: 1. Fructose, including HFCS is bad for you. 2. Sucrose is also bad for you. 3. There are some good reasons why fructose should be worse than sucrose. 4. There is no actual evidence that #3 is true.
people eating shitloads of HFCS for their body size are getting a variety of extra health problems on top.
Can you point to any actual evidence to support this assertion? Excessive sugar is bad for you, but I am aware of no controlled studies that have found that fructose or HFCS is any better or worse than any other sugar. The common belief that HFCS is worse than sucrose is based on conjecture and superstition, not data.
Guzzling soda sweetened with HFCS is bad for you. But guzzling the same amount of soda sweetened with cane sugar is no better.
Because Congress Cut their Budget and will not spend any money on computer upgrades that would save money in the long run?
No, because Congress gave them $8B to upgrade their software, they hired Oracle as a contractor to implement the upgrade, now all the money is gone, and nobody knows why.
As if millennials are working on or with printers...
Indeed. My daughter is a millennial, and the only time she ever printed anything was for school assignments. Then her school figured out web submission of homework, and even that stopped. Now we only use our printer for printing crap to mail to the government, so some bureaucrat can read the form and manually type it into their computer.
You hand an opened phone to a cop to show your drivers license...you've also just handed then your phone
Obvious solution: Keep your physical DL in your glove compartment with your registration. But use your phone DL at the bank, or anywhere else you need an ID. No need to hand your phone to a cop, and still no need to carry a wallet.
It would be pretty slick if they could detect when a person or vehicle was in range of the streetlight, and turn the light off when not needed. That would save an enormous amount of power if deployed on millions of lights. Astronomers would also love the idea. The justification for street lights is that they improve safety and reduce crime, but there is little evidence that they are effective at either.
It is still simply easier to swipe a card or pay with cash.
... until you have to do a return or get your taxes audited, and you can't find the paper receipts. With digital wallets, there is no paper receipt. It is emailed to you, and they archive a copy as well.
Some shops, including Home Depot, will email you a receipt if you use a CC, but that is not common, and you have to set it up with them for each CC. With a digital wallet, it just works.
Several states, including California, are close to adopting digital drivers licenses and state ID cards. If your DL, credit/debit, and family photos are all on your cell phone, then what is your wallet for? In a decade, wallets will be as obsolete as buggy whips. Same thing with keys. I can use my cellphone to unlock my car and open my garage. My front door has a smart lock with a keypad. I normally carry no keys.
They may not have a choice, is it still acceptable then?
Why would they not have a choice? The only reason I can see is if no one else was willing to pay them more, in which case they aren't worth more than $10 per hour. And what the hell do you mean by "unacceptable" anyway? Do you mean it should be illegal to pay "Oracle Certified Database Managers" the same as a burger flipper? Who is going to enforce that? Are we going to have special payroll police, with a list of professions, qualifications, and certifications, with a minimum salary for each?
Most land based predators and birds teach their young how to hunt in a similar way
No they don't. You obviously didn't watch the video. This isn't mommy teaching baby how to kill, in a one-on-one lesson. It is an entire group performing a complicated coordinated action, to teach another group.
The donks might actually replace her with someone who isn't entirely vomit inducing.
Most likely that would be Tim Kaine. If she dies before the election, the party can select a replacement, most likely Tim. If she dies between her election, and being sworn in, then it would automatically be Tim. The rules are not entirely clear, but this is how they are currently interpreted.
Personal opinion: I would prefer Tim Kaine over either Hillary or Donald. It is pathetic that someone like him cannot win in our dysfunctional primary system.

You could have told you mom that yourself, just by yelling up the stairs.
No I can't. She keeps the door locked.
But we are never asked for consent.

So setting my birth date to something like 2010 is all I need to do to keep those web and app trackers off my back?
Correct. The tradeoff is that most websites won't let you create an account or use their site.
With Snowden, he has told Terrorists how to hide from western detection
He also told my mom that the government was reading her email.
He is a hero.
He is a criminal
Those are not mutually exclusive. Why can't he be both?

That won't be doing that for long. The radiation from these spy devices will zap their sperm to death.
Unlikely. THz is about 300 um. The most it is going to do is make you feel warm.
This looks like a transaction that should not be approved.
In this case, a monopoly may actually benefit consumers, since at least the ink cartridges will be interchangeable.

I'd still not use it.

Not so sure if I would want the light outside my house turning on and off all night.

They didn't just exclude people of color. They also excluded people of gender.
Maybe the whole thing should have been Irish.
Do you know what language most Irish people speak? Hint: It is not Irish.
They may not have a choice, is it still acceptable then?

Which is why a moderately large tech company in Seattle thinks that US$10.00/hour for an Oracle certified database manager is an appropriate wage.
If someone is willing to accept the job, then it is an appropriate wage.
