And then there's Dungeons & Dragons Online, which blocked 'penetration' despite having an item suffix called "of Spell Penetration". Yes, every time an item with that got linked in chat the filter obscured it to 'of Spell #%&/(#&%'.
It's really no different from saying, "Oh, I see you've lived in the same house for more than five years. We want applicants who are willing to uproot their lives at the drop of a hat."
Keeping your email address is no different from keeping your phone number for as long as possible - it saves on forcing people to update their contact lists and means you can still be reached if people see something relatively old you've posted somewhere.
If the algorithm looks for having, as an example, both 'Trump' and 'Orange' in the text in order to give it five extra points, that's bias.
If the algorithm looks at how many times other pages link to the page, as we are reasonably certain is how Google works, then it's content-neutral and only biased towards "stuff liked by a lot of people in the demographic that uses the internet and frequently links to things they like". Whether or not that demographic leans left, right, center or slightly askew towards C'thulhu's home in the depths is up for debate.
It's also worth noting the differences in the kinds of mass shootings in US and Europe. The US has a lot of cases of students shooting up their own schools to get back at bullies, while Europe has issues with extremist terrorists. Utøya in Norway and Bataclan in France in particular.
And if everyone has a gun the perp is just gonna shoot you in the back before you realize he's there, whereas the guy with a knife is gonna take your wallet and run.
I think you are forgetting in your first example that people can play games in different ways. I play Candy Crush and Farm Heroes, but not at all in the same way I play WoW or Fallout. Candy Crush and Farm Heroes run on a tablet that gets taken along to the bathroom or to bed to unwind - and in those cases, having a limited amount of lives is actually beneficial because there's a very distinct cutoff that says to put the game away.
Maybe I'm missing the point entirely, but when Ed told me that Joe almost certainly hadn't created a perpetual motion machine I started getting curious.
As a member of the Indiana National Guard, isn't he technically part of the authorities in case of any weapon-requiring emergency situation, eg. a zombie outbreak?
Let me give you a very specific example because I saw it just the other day.
In Denmark, 6% of the population is of foreign ancestry. Immigrants, fugitives, all mixed up like that in the "Not originally Danish" column. In Denmark, 23% of rapes are by offenders not originally from Denmark; group rapes have become a thing when it wasn't originally.
Now, you'd think that people would be able to say, "If 6% of the population accounts for 23% of a crime something is wrong with those 6%!" but no. People actually DEFEND IT and say that because natively Danish people account for the remaining 77% that's a lot more and is where the focus should be placed. There is no understanding of percentages.
I would post citations for the numbers but I can't find the article right now.
How many jobs can you name that fit your description of jobs that didn't exist when you were born, AND that can be performed by people of average skills and/or intelligence?
No, but I heard that some people have claimed Miucin copied a Polygon review of Bayonetta 2. He apparently also quoted (without attribution) word-for-word from a NeoGAF video, as well as posted a bunch of videos himself where he just read bits and pieces of Wikipedia articles on Shantae: Half-Genie and Super Mario Odyssey aloud. He even went so far as to copy an article from an IGN colleague on Octopath Traveler, to that writer's great dismay. His LinkedIn article is no better as it seems to be copied from a job template website.
See how easy it is to make it difficult to detect that you just plagiarize everything?
You can get near to a whole lot of things without actually getting it. If someone says he NEARLY won the lottery, would you stand there looking confused because he's still poor?
What about the point at which your heart has stopped beating but there is still brain activity - as is required for any attempt at bringing a person back to life?
So I should have one car for when I go grocery shopping alone, another car for when I'm just picking up a friend at the train station, and a third car for taking the whole family to the movies?
I can see how that is totally a reasonable thing to do and not at all cost prohibitive.
Google is storing this information so they can SELL IT to someone else. The FBI can't just call up a grocery store and say, "Give us all your apples!" If they want apples they can buy them like any other customer.

Is that where Trump is from?
I'm sorry, it was too good to pass up.

They've done worse than attacking videos.

I can't get that mental image out of my head. Curse you, olsmeister! Curse you to a hell full of naked Trump lookalikes!
That depends on the algorithm.

They paid for UNLIMITED data, that's all that matters.

Maybe SCO will sue them both.
Yes, in a state of sleep deprivation I misread a comment on Slashdot. I'm sure there'll be an article about it soon.
Near DEATH Experience, not Near LIFE Experience.

It's kind of how like countries that put 'Democratic' in the actual name of their country are anything but.
They may not work for you, but not everyone thinks like you do. For the 95% of the world that are not Americans, these cars could be useful.
1) I live in Germany.
2) The American population is not 95% of the world's population. Check your math.

Well, no they don't.

You mean the wi-fi enabled thumbdrive I accidentally lost over the edge of a cliff into a canal can still be recovered? AWESOME!
