The unemployment rate in America is 4.6%, which is "full employment". In Seattle it is 3.1%, and businesses are struggling to find enough workers. So if Amazon employees don't like their jobs, there are plenty of alternatives.
Nice "Alternative Facts." This is the often-parroted line. First and foremost, the availability of other jobs is not an excuse to treat employees like shit. 4.6% nationally and 3.1% in Seattle (numbers that are extremely conservative and obtained from methodologies that are suspect) can not be described a "plenty of alternatives".
Now go back to handwringing about how your boy Trump is being mistreated by the Fake Press and their Fake News.
The real problem here is not two-factor yadda yadda, it's that this is implemented on a sub-$1000 phone . The device itself and almost certainly whatever algorithms they are using cannot possibly be as rigorous as, say, the biometrics used to access the anthrax lab or the room President Trump keeps his Russian cypher equipment in.
Also, free air disrupts the sale of bottled oxygen. Free water from drinking fountains disrupts the sales from nearby soda machines. The sun disrupts the sales of light bulbs.

it was someone that had an old smoke detector in their backpack that they brought from home that they forgot about.
They brought an old smoke detector from home to their job at Hanford. Well, they "forgot" about it. Hmmm.
1. ) Why was it in their backpack in the first place? 2. ) They work at Hanford. They know that smoke detectors contain a very small amount of radioactive material. 3. ) They brought it to Hanford, where radioactive material is handled, tracked, and detected.
I'm not saying that they planned to do anything shifty, but this just doesn't sound "right".
I'm not an expert in web site security, but I thought SQL injection had ben delt with, with minimal input validation and prepared statements? I guess if they are still using MD5 hashes, the code is probably pretty old.
Other than that, I love DuFont, that's where I get all my fonts, though I never saw a need to get an account...
This doesn't mean impenetrable to spacecraft or asteroids, per se
Does it or does it not inrefear with spacecraft or asteroids? If not than what does it interfear with? Anything? Space whales? Potentially?
but rather to potentially harmful particle showers created by turbulent space weather.
Well, does it or does it not? From the very minimal Vice "article":
Next, scientists are figuring out whether the VLF bubble can be used to purify the near-Earth environment from charged particles, which would make humanity a little safer. Well done, random radio-induced space cocoon.
OK, so this is all just wild speculation, and there is no real evidence to suggest this "space blanket" interfears with anything. But for sure if it doeas, we will find out because certinly that can be "weaponized".
Stanford University economist Tony Seba forecasts in his new report that petrol or diesel cars, buses, or trucks will no longer be sold anywhere in the world within the next eight years.
Itâ(TM)s a stretch to say this for passenger autos, and maybe even busses that already run on alternative fuels. I donâ(TM)t see this in 8 to 10 years for heavy equipment and trucks. As well, there are many more things than cars, buses, trucks, planes, and heavy equipment that run on fossil fuels, oil producers will have business for a long time to come.
They will switch en masse to self-drive electric vehicles (EVs) that are ten times cheaper to run than fossil-based cars, with a near-zero marginal cost of fuel and an expected lifespan of 1 million miles. Only nostalgics will cling to the old habit of car ownership. The rest will adapt to vehicles on demand. It will become harder to find a petrol station, spares, or anybody to fix the 2,000 moving parts that bedevil the internal combustion engine. Dealers will disappear by 2024. Cities will ban human drivers once the data confirms how dangerous they can be behind a wheel. This will spread to suburbs, and then beyond. There will be a "mass stranding of existing vehicles.
This is going to happen within 8 years? It will still be a dream in 8 years, closer, but still a dream⦠Pie in the sky from egg-headed Chardonnay swilling Stanford quiche eaters. Also from the actual article:
The long-term price of crude will fall to US$25 a barrel.
To me, this is a lot like publishers that demand Google pay to index them, and when Google says, OK, it's opt in, you see publishers fall on their swards when their traffic dies. If Facebook pulled out og the EU for even a week, public outcry would be enormouse. Seriously, anyone who doesn't understand what's going on with Facebook and FREE consumer accounts is a moron.
So essentially, Carmack will never (or at least until certain patents run out) be able to work on VR again because anything he comes up with now builds on what he already knows, and he knows that stuff from developing what this Z-something now owns? Harsh.

"Whooooosh!"
Last week 3 hours. So no 1.5 hours is not a record for O'hare...
He means "record time" as in fast.
People say they want nicer, but look around - people come to the internet to argue.
No they don't.
Yes, they do.
Moron.

It is more "cultural flavor" and closer to white Southerners being proud of their heritage than a truly distinct claim on ethnicity.
I take it you have never been to the deep south...
It does not surprise me that Spam stored in space shows no degradation.

The world doesn't turn for you.
According to a discussion I was part of in my Philosophy 101 class, indeed the world DOES turn for me.

It's just the Roseanne Barr black hole decloaking for her new show.

You go ahead and keep saying that...

Don't worry about the core, it'll last. It's currently at ~5000K and will be at ~4950K in a billion years...
Wait a second. The core is cooling? Does Al Gore know about this?
So there is this "space blanket", but...

Piracy denotes *illegal* file sharing.
Which accounts for the majority of torrent use. To say different is to lie to yourself.
Speaking of mice, I just emptied the traps in my garage. Interesting how the eyes bulge out.
Enjoy your plush accomodations unter the bridge.
