From the text, it looks like the critic's whole job is to say that the performance was flawed, no matter how skilled it was, in as loquacious a manner as possible.
Perhaps, but if you don't get the flu shot, you're not only a higher risk of catching the flu, you're at a higher risk of transmitting it (by virtue of being a higher risk of catching it). Especially if you're a hero-worker who heroically goes in spread your mucous around.
Most of the flu hysteria I've seen has been more anti-vaccine than anti-flu.
Then pronounce it Coke instead. English is pretty malleable, so if the pronunciation catches on, it'll be the right one. There is a lot of history of the sounds of words diverging from their spelling. I mean, seriously, draught is pronounced draft? WTH? How am I supposed to remember that after drinking a few of them.
The problem is that neither priceline nor its competitors offer leg room, personal volume, seat width or any kind of comfort score as a metric that you can sort or filter on. I find this odd, because I'm pretty sure that people (myself, at least) would flock to such a service.
Perhaps the information is difficult to wrest from the airlines, but I'd think it should be possible to guess the configuration based on airline, seat count, and aircraft type until the airlines start publishing the comfort metrics.
Also odd that the aggregators don't have a field for number of bags you'd like to check, so that can be added into the prices before sorting. Or.. is it only the no-frills airlines that include a bag check in the ticket price any more?
The founders were aware of your concern about times changing and rendering portions of the Constitution inadequate or unjust. They included a process of amending it: Article Five.
If you are worried about guns and free speech or anything else that you think the constitution is not working for, then you should propose new amendments to grant the government more power in those areas. The worst thing you can do is to simply ignore the amendments or articles you don't like. That sets a precedent for ignoring other ones, diluting the protections of the constitution.
I'm interested to know in what way you think the first amendment is inadequate (either too constraining or not constraining enough) for dealing with the internet, though.
The comic does tread each word as a symbol, which is why it only claims 11 bits of search-space per word, which requires a dictionary of only 2048 words, and there are way more than 2048 words that are long enough that the fact that they're in a dictionary is the limiting factor. It's already accounted for in the search space estimate.
The claim of the comic hasn't been "debunked" because the claim isn't that you can use words to have a lot of characters in your password, it's that we've been focusing too much on getting the most search space out of each character when the thing we want to optimize is the total search space per password that a person can remember, and the word technique sacrifices a lot of character efficiency to result in better overall passwords.
Your hypothetical user isn't choosing between four words from in a 10k word dictionary and a 16 character password. The fully random 64-symbol password of equivalent memorability is probably quite a bit shorter than 16 characters. I wonder what research has been done on this; I'd put my money on the equivalently memorable password being closer to 6-8 characters.
It only takes nine words from a 10k dictionary to beat a 16 character (64 symbol space) password. It also only takes 21 lowercase letters to beat your "complex" 16 character password, and I know which one I'd prefer to actually have to type regularly. More symbols per element is only a benefit when it increases the ability of the user to actually use stronger passwords.
The claim that they're granted with a similar algorithm to titles of nobility and are only useful to the rich or well connected due to the associated costs?
To be fair, the purpose of a manned mars mission isn't really science, and the propaganda effect is more than a little undermined by starting out by telling half of the population to give up on the dream of even having a chance at being part of the mission.
You should be able to do this, but politics gets in the way. People have an idea of what a bag of ice is "worth" and may be willing to wait hours for it, but won't adjust their internal valuation without long-term pricing pressures and will react strongly to the idea that they're being "ripped off."
It's easy to forget that you're not buying ice. You're buying ice in a remote location in the desert where a lot of other people are also present, but no appreciable infrastructure is in place
If that's the case, then the workers are poisoning the business and preventing it from reaching it's full profitable potential. The hourly wage should be scrapped in favor of a share of the the revenue.
Never been to burning man, but why so many different products? I'd think that single bags of ice would be suitable for pretty much any purpose the ice is needed for even if not ideal for some purposes. Why not just sell singles and one size of bundles.
Slashdot Mirror
With the gun club and United States references, surely he was referring to well-known Bad SF.
Thanksgiving is coming up. If you visit with your extended family, try floating the idea of abolishing the TSA and see what kind of responses you get.
What, you can't build rail overpasses in your allegedly economically busy city?
Which should be folded into the cost of those supplies rather than the cost of something else.
Then.. what's the fear here?
If uber can come in at lower cost without subsidy, then the question, I think, is what is public transportation doing wrong?
You can't deduct your commute, which for many people is the largest cost of having a job...
And how does a falling price during a D administration help R's gain support?

Uh.. what do you plan to do with the oil you extract?
So.. you want someone to invent LabVIEW?

Also, please see the pronunciation of Coq au vin
In fact, given that they're both french, are you sure that you've been pronouncing it right all this time?

But funding NGO's is how we do this kind of thing in the US. What would you have us do? Conscript doctors to send them over?
Is that true? The bills say they're legal tender for all debts public and private.

It is good business to try and retain a customer. It is terrible behavior to hold someone's property ransom to force them to listen to your pitch.
Depending on how quickly word gets out, and the reaction, the second may not be a productive way of trying to achieve the first.

Can't.

Why not just bring more ice, then?
