Too bad they did it in secret. I wrote my senators asking them to reject CISPA, and that my vote would hinge on whether they opposed it. Since everything was done in secret, I can't even remotely provide proper feedback into our broken democratic system. Hooray broken democracy.
Would you believe that there are parts of the world where getting interest on loans is illegal? They aren't places where I'd like to live, but finding interest free loans can be done.
And the reason that number is so small is due in no small part because effective planning on the part of WHO. I won't side with the ridiculous media on their stupid panic-ridden publications about disease, but modern social health programs are a miracle.
See, but that's a positive assertion that's actually quite unprovable. We know there are a subset that cannot operate as we define them today because contradictions would arise, but that's not the same as them. There may be underlying rules/laws to the ones we use today that would continue to make sense under those conditions.
I'm not saying there are, but you're the one making a positive assertion.
Hmm, parts of this are accurate and really not contrary to my point, and parts are downright crazy, incorporating some sort of bizarre nationalism, a fundamental misunderstanding of the scientific method, and directionless babble about how wrong I(or was the GP?) am about something non-specific. I have a feeling that if I could parse your underlying point out from that word-salad I'd disagree, but I can't even say that for sure.
You say "QED" like science is a closed method of understanding like logic is. The scientific method makes acknowledgement that its results are only accurate in as far as the controls we've been able impose in our experimentation and observation hold. We have never tested the laws of thermodynamics in conjunction with a singularity, and thus anything we say about their behavior there is an extrapolation. Extrapolation isn't induction, and what you just said isn't a proof.
Its good that you've recognized the problem. You even have half the target right. However, those rich folks behind this are Republicans. If you aren't going to try to stop them, you should find a nice sharp guillotine.
I think that's a more accurate description of what would begin to address the metastasizing (it was emerging in the 80s and 90s) United States oligarchy.
Having something you already paid for stop working is pretty reasonably within the category of "newsworthy corporate bullshit." If there's any evidence at all that amazon is going to pull the rug out from under me on the things I already bought the moment it becomes profitable, I'd like to know to stop buying the moment it happens to someone else, not when it happens to me.
Yes, but as software gets more advanced, tools to replace the people doing mind numbing data entry will fill more and more gaps. It will continue like that until the whole company is just the CEO with 3 buttons: "screw the customer", "screw the employees", and "screw the government".
We will continue to praise them as a society for just how fast they can press those buttons.
Yeah, the real question is how much more risky it is. Once you can quantify risk, you can know what a sound investment is or not. Responsible, aware, forward thinking speculation can be good for a market, there's just not a lot of it.
My previous employer made me get a linkedin account. It is the single most spammy thing I've ever signed up for. "Do you know former employee of customer of previous previous employer?" Fuck. Off.
dear TheGratefulNet: the world is not willing to acceept your 'always wanting privacy' concept. we are rightfully annoyed at your persistence and insistence that the majority of people Care(tm).
you are clearly trying to incite fears in a populace that is too uncaring to give a shit but let me state again, clearly and unambiguously:
MOST. PEOPLE. WANT.
it was an interesting idea for 'self-aware people' but just not really fitting into what we, as a society, so clearly want.
please just stop trying to force the issue. you come off as jerks when you do that.
With Balmer in charge, the answer is really "developers developers developers". They imagined "write once run anywhere(that's a MS device)" would appeal to UI developers. The reality is that devs don't want to write code for a platform that users don't want to use, and the "old" windows paradigms were more natural to code for in addition to having legacy support.
Well as someone who was in FIRST a decade ago, and is now an adult, it was probably the most useful experience of my pre-college life. Your impressions probably aren't far off.
FIRST was probably responsible for 90% of my most useful education in highschool. It was that and calculus. Learning by making real things produces far, far better results.
Learning about torque in a (sadly) typical high-school physics class: memorize formula and plug values into formula for test. Learning about torque in FIRST club: use torque calculations through various gear ratios to calculate how fast you can get up a ramp and beat the other robots there. You see the value, because you use the knowledge to make something.
Normal schooling in the U.S. seems like an attempt to disconnect knowledge from its value.
You understand that there is a threshold for libel, and that if what you posted is true, your best course of resolution is a legal one, not some arcane amazon process, right?
Now hold on. That's unfair. Higher energy level radiation can be ionizing and thus dangerous. Radio waves like glass puts out are absolutely nothing compared to the staggering deadliness of visible light.

No, he's right. 8 year old me managed separating eggs first try. An adult who understands the process should have zero issue.

Pressure cookers have gotten a bad rap from terrorists, but I'll be damned if you can't get delicious food out of them.

It's the size of peoples' back yards in the case of nukes that make it not work. "Storing nuclear waste? Not in my entire state!!!" goes a little far.

I'm pretty sure when it's financial markets, and you want to leverage you don't deal futures, you deal options. I don't know though,
Yeah, the real question is how much more risky it is. Once you can quantify risk, you can know what a sound investment is or not. Responsible, aware, forward thinking speculation can be good for a market, there's just not a lot of it.
Fine, let me rephrase, most people will want after google advertises it at them through all their various media they have direct control over.
If your contract includes promoting the company as part of your duties, I think you'll find they can.
It was right after I was hired, and didn't think I'd be spammed to hell and back. I've since deleted the account.
My previous employer made me get a linkedin account. It is the single most spammy thing I've ever signed up for.

Thank your for your visceral reminder of human mortality. It's what someone stuck in a energy-sapping bank-office needs to make life bearable.
