After I upgraded my phone from Android 6.0 to 7.0, I discovered that feature of being able to set trusted spaces where the phone would remain unlocked if it had been unlocked in a configurable number of hours. I have my phone set to lock when put to standby, and I don't let it sit running if I'm not actively doing something with it, so I found myself having to unlock it often at home when I was picking it up frequently while doing short tasks. That setting is great. Much more convenient when I'm in my own home and I wont be losing my phone, but once I leave home it goes back into its normal locked down mode.
I am concerned that Google is attempting to act as a gatekeeper and arbiter of truth.
The unwashed masses already blessed Google with that role when they stopped learning how to use the address bar on their browser and just started Googling everything (even addresses).
At the age of 60, men who had children had almost two years more on their remaining life expectancy than those without, at 20.2 and 18.4 years respectively.
Correlation isn't causation.
To me this feels like an extension of those studies we've seen countless times about lonely/socially isolated/people who don't get laid often dying sooner than people with friends/lovers. Having kids is going to much more likely for a person with a strong social network, so it will appear having kids makes you live longer if that's what you're focusing on.
They came at it from a "what respected name will people choose?" Then a bunch of people piled on with screwball names, treating it as an excuse to make a joke.
"Respected" is a completely subjective term. If they only wanted people to pick certain types of names, they should have a provided a list of choices. The problem was the whole point of the naming contest was to get people more interested in scientific exploration in the Antarctic. Spoiler: Most people don't care about polar ocean science, or any Oceanography that doesn't involve studying fish and mammels, so the chances of them picking the "respected" names that were wanted were low -- those people are far from household names. They were more likely to get the boat named after a popular contestant from The Bachelorette than the scientific pioneers they really wanted.
Not seeing a big difference with the Microsoft Account they try and shove down everyone's throats since Windows 8. They already have buddy lists in the form of the Contacts section. A instant messaging/VoIP platform, Profile pages, a news portal with MSN... All they need is a front-end site that is more social-focused and they would be there.
...outage reports for AT&T were clustered most prominently around New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle...
For service to be disrupted in cities all across the country in this fashion, either the 911 systems for AT&T are way too centralized to be safe, or this is a coordinated attack on several regional pieces of infrastructure at once (and it exposes a criminal lack of security I'd say). I wonder which way AT&T will want to go with this.
The purpose of bus lanes is to force people to use public transportation by giving it an unfair advantages by forcing everyone to waste resources so that it can monopolize them, which in turn actually creates traffic congestion. It's a stupid idea by and for stupid people.
There would be less congestion if the road wasn't full of 4-8 person vehicles being used to transport a single driver to their destination.
...or because he decided to release an album upon finishing production on an album's worth of music
No, he didn't. He released the albums one-week apart. That's not even enough time for the production of the actual physical copies, let alone write the songs, record the songs, go through final production and mastering of the audio content, and design the packaging. He would have had to complete the creative component of the second album far before the first album was done. It's impossible for the reason to be "he did one album and then he did the second right after that". The logistics don't allow that kind of turn around.
Nothing in TFS explains to me why, "Music Charts No Longer Make Sense". Is it because an artist overtook himself on the charts? Is it because they've had to change their chart system to keep up with technology?
No, it's because the chart system is not made to deal with this marketing gimmick. The artists clearly had both albums recorded and mastered at the same time, there is no reason they couldn't have been released as single double-length album. He set this up specifically to take the title of "first artist to displace himself at the top of the chart" and get all this free publicity.
...your local radio station isn't being paid to play the Beatles.
How many commercial radio stations are truly local anymore? Most have been bought up by some corporation like Clear Channel on the other side of the country.
Let's say the 6" lift kit and 35" off-road tires are used by > 50% of Ford truck owners. Would it be reasonable to assume Ford has some interest in making it work well with that setup?
Not if they are after-market parts -- you're putting Ford in the position of keeping track of what the aftermarket mod industry is doing. That's a classic case of the tail wagging the dog. Ford builds the truck to perform a certain way as they built it. If the owner adds a bunch of crap to it Ford had no design input on, they can't hold Ford responsible if the truck no longer performs the same.
If that suspension change was so popular, Ford would start offering the truck in that configuration from the factory. That way they have control over what it done and the final result.
But then you would have complaints from people who want a "streamlined vehicle that uses less petroleum resources".
...plus the attempt to monopolize a thing (Uber for driving, Facebook for sharing, OKCupid for dating, etc) that is killing the ability to actually socialize...
OKCupid was never an attempt to monopolize any industry. It was a free alternative to paid dating sites. That ended pretty much when Match.com bought them.
No, spam is UNSOLICITED commercial email. When you did whatever action you did on their site to receive it, you solicited them to send it to you as part of it. True spam is from companies you never heard of and never had a business relationship with.
Most of the spam I see on any given day is legal... Store ads, etc...
If it's a legitimate commercial email from those stores, it's not spam, it's bacn. You signed up for it when you bought a product or made an inquiry on their site and did not uncheck a box that signed you up for them most-likely. If you're still getting it you're just too lazy to unsubscribe.
Outside weather damage? or will they just bill the renter like the rent a car places do?
The car rental shop holding you responsible for weather/vandalism is your failure to take out the proper insurance policy with them when you rented. If you have a comprehensive insurance policy of your own on a vehicle, you may be covered on the rental, too. This would mean making a claim for the damage to the rental car and getting a hit on your insurance rates, of course.
I commute to work and have to park outdoors. There was a time a large hailstorm was supposed to hit us in the middle of my work day. I left my car at home in the garage and rented a vehicle to take to work, taking out the appropriate insurance to cover it if it did hail on it (which it did, but not quite enough to cause damage).
Riiiiight. Because the Right-wing's methods of suppressing protest are completely gentle and humane. It's still violence, even if it's State-approved and/or going on behind closed doors in the future at a "Ministry of Re-Education".
Then quit allowing restaurants to pay servers USD $2.13 an hour and cut the tips.
The Sonic Drive-In burger chain did do this. They added credit/debit card readers to their menu boards so people could use modern payment methods -- but the system didn't have the ability to add a tip to a bill. Since people paying by card are unlikely to dig out cash (if they even carried it) for a tip, now the works weren't getting tips at all. So now the carhops all make a more "normal" wage.
A story will be marked as disputed if fact-checkers find the story to be fake.
Remember when fact-checking was, like, a basic part of writing news stories as a professional journalist? Nice to see Facebook picking up the slack for something "news organizations" don't think is really necessary anymore (because they don't want to pay for the time/resources to do it).

That would totally work -- except so many companies are outsourcing their legitimate support to India as well.
