I do this from time to time myself. I just do the following: # grep -r Pa55W0rd $HOME Note the space before the grep. That way it does not end up in.bash_history and cause an issue there. I have found some from time to time.
I am the only person on my PC, but security is a mentality.
Only part of the time and because I have a pre-paid. Say sta of nanuary I add 25 EUR. When I do that, I can use 4GB data and send 4.000 SMS. What I would need to pay for is calls. I hardly call (VoiP is data). This is valid for 1 month. So the 1st pof befruary I use 10 EUR of that 25 EUR to buy 500 MB for a month. I then pay for my SMS and calls. That I do with the 15 EUR I have left. Even if I would use that all, I would be paying 25 EUR per two months.
OTOH I could take a plan of 25 EUR per month. No extra costs for SMS. The one is 25 EUR per two months. the other is 50 EUR per 2 months.
You really think your SMS are free? How cute. And I do not pay for receiving calls, not SMS and I have free roaming in a lot of countries.
That would mean they have to give up the cash cow that is SMS. I get 4000 sms for 'free' with my pre-paid card and 4GB of data fora month for 25EUR. After a minth I use the 25 to buy 500MB and that is good enough. The other 15 i use for SMS as I have to pay for them. Having that included in my data would make me buy less. That will be their profit that is gone.
Now I pay 0.10 Eur per sms for 120 characters of data. So they already make a shitload on them. Doubt they will drop ot fast.
Well, another person who has no idea how traffic works. Adding more roads to traffic can make it worse. Solving those crossings might bring other problems to the table that are worse than what you have now.
The difference between the app and traffic planning is that the app looks at 1 person. Traffic planning looks at 1.000.000 and they all interact with each other.
If you arrive 10 minutes earlier because of Waze, the rest might be 1 second later each. That is still a loss for traffic planning as a whole.
How expensive are the off-shore politicians? Can we trust them to stay bought over a long period of time? How many parties do we have to buy, because buying two is easy.
Not really. What they will say that the motive is not sexually motivated. The idea that "rape =/= forced sex". The sex is seen as a tool, rather than the motivation. This often comes up if people say "castrate the rapist" as it would not remove the motive, just the penis.
In many cases the rape is to be seen as a power play resulting in sex. So it is a sexual crime causes by power. So the motivation is power, not sex. That makes people think that what is said is that it is a power crime, not a sex crime and that is not the case.
What you need to do is look if people are talking about the act it self (which is sexual) or the motive (which is thought to be non-sexual)
The problem with this is that unless you studied the matter, it is very difficult to understand the difference and the motive of a rapist. So what people focus on is the act, not the cause.
From the discussions I had about this it seems that people who focus on the act are more about punishment (cut of his dick, Rape him some,...) and people who focus on the cause are more about solving it (Give him mental help, remove his willingness of over powering).
As always the truth lies somewhere in the middle and one does not exclude the other.
I have no problem with both the Dems and the Reps being against self employed people like sex workers and making the job safer. (Perhaps not clear in my wording, but I am pro-prostitution. There is a demand, so supply will be given. Better regulated than unregulated.) It clearly shows the downside of a bi-party system. However the "winner takes all" means that the bi-party is the default that will happen.
There are way better systems of voting where a multi part system is a given AND where the majority of people will get what they want. That could still mean that it would have the same outcome, but most likely not as overwhelming ad perhaps with enough opposition to do some serious changes to the law.
Oh well. I just go to my legal hooker if I so desire, so she earns money in a relative safe environment and we can discuss who hates their job more, she or I. (I think I get fucked harder than she will ever be.) Or I do not go like, ever.
It is not the fact that I am a customer that I am in favor. I am in favor, so it will be decriminalized. This will be cheaper in then end, so lower taxes or the same amount of taxes that can be spend elsewhere.
I do not tip waiters either. Where I live they get a wage they can live on. If they do not give good service, they get fired. Do you get bad waiters sometimes? Yes, you do. Just like everywhere else there are goof and bad employees.
What you are talking about is not my expreince and I go to restaurants (with waiters) a few times per week. Both casual and at least once per month high end.
But then I go for the social aspect of it. If I just want to stuff my face, I eat at home. Way easier, faster and cheaper. I have a warm meal ready in about 5 minutes at home. When I go out and eat, I go with friends and that means being at the table at 19:30 and leaving around 22:00 or 23:00. Yes, even when we go for just a pizza.
When I eat lunch, I have an hour break, so I go to a place where I pick a menu and also tell the waiter my time is limited. Never been an issue. And I still do not tip. I just ask the bill, they come with the CC machine, I enter my card and my PIN and leave.
If I ever would have a restaurant where they did not do it that way, I would not go back and they would loose business fast.
The removal needs to be done by a third party for the magazines and newspapers. Technically possible. Not realistic.
Or to say it with the words of Banksy:
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them.
Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
This. The furniture is also desined to be able to fit in a maximum sized and weighted box. That way no extra equipment is needed. That is why some furniture comes in two or three boxes. That way it is not to big or to heavy.
Big mattress are an expeption as well as some other things they can not cut up.
Actual waiters will still exist as they deliver a human factor that computers can not do. Bit like bartenders and hookers. The socoal contact is part of the reason we pay for them.
Now lawyers and docters will still be there, but less of them will be needed.
If you have an AI that can do the diagnosis of an ilnes better or faster than a doctor, it wil mean you need less doctors. Instead of 100, you might only need 80. So they will be earning less or there will be some that earn the same and some that will earn nothing. Trash collecting can be automated as well. Not talking 100% at first, obviously.
You already seldom see a trash collector lifting the bins. They have a machine for the lifting. That works more efficient and cheaper. You need less people.
Things is that the jobs will not go away over night. It will happen slowely. If you write a script that saves you 5 minutes per day, you do not go home 5 minutes earlier. If 100 people do a thing that saves 5 minutes per day, somebody will be out of a job. Instead og 100, you only need 99. That is 1%.
You also could pay people 1% less and keep everybody working 5 minutes less. I have seen strikes talking about 1% more or less pay.
I mean that is why it is called an experiment. You see if it works or not and not just talk about it. This is the scientific way to do things.
You have a theory and then you test that theory. If it proves that the theory works: good. If you prove that the theory does not work: also good.
So it is good that they tried it and respect the outcome of the experiment. Much better than those where e.g. Mary-Jane is proven to not be dangerous and still politics do not change according to the scientific proof.
What they did is the way it is supposed to work. Or in words of a more famous person than me : Science, bitch!
This should be a standard and has nothing to do with distrusting each other. My sister and her husband are divorced now. They still are friends. Becaus ethey had separate accounts, the breakup was even less painfull. OTOH I often see people, especially elder people who only have one account on both of their names. One person dies and the account will be blocked for 2 to 3 months. This till the heritage is done. In that time grandma can not pay anything. Money comes in, but nothing can go out. Companies start calling as they want their money. So on top of the stress of losing your long live partner, you have to deal with that shit.
Having a separate account would have seen to it that not only do you not need to pay heritage taxes over it, but you also have enough money to get through to that few months.
I see also the same where people take a customer credit together (e.g. a credit card) They do that, because if the com pany looks at 1 income, it isn't enough. (I am from Belgium. Giving out credits to people who are not able to pay for it results in the company being responsible and those people do not need to pay it back). After two years they break up. Credit still in both their names. One takes all the money and the other needs to pay for it.
Having two different contracts would mean that this would have never happened. And yes, if they are divorced, it will state that one will pay everything. That ONLY means that the one person can force the other person to pay. It does not mean that the company can not collect their money by either of them. The contract is still valid.
So I absolutely agree that money should not be shared, unless really needed for whatever reason.
Everybody is joking about it (including me) and when you look at what robots do in a car factory, this does not seem to be such an effort. You place the things on the ground and the robot the does pre-designed movement. Done.
But what I think is interesting that the planning is done as well by the robot. I wonder if it uses the manual or just figures things out like a big puzzle, then programs itself to do what need to be done. As the main article is paywalled http://robotics.sciencemag.org... We can only guess. My guess is that it looks up what fits into what and that there are no parts left. As it takes 8 minutes, I am guessing it uses brute force. e.g. It starts with e,g a plank. That has 4 holes in it. It then takes another item and see if that fits. If not, go to the next piece. At a certain moment it will find a plank and a screw. That till it find 4 screws that fit. Now you have a plank with 4 screws sticking out of it.
Take the next object and see if that fits. At some point it does, And then at one moment it has either holes left, or items left that do not fit, so the calculations start from the beginning.
I can also imagine that the reason it can do some, but not all furniture is because it has no idea what to do if there are holes not used. e.g. as they are intended to connect a second part of a bookcase to it.
Thanks to the fact that it is paywalled, no idea if that is correct and we just make a bunch of jokes about it, instead of thinking about it.
In Belgium it is illegal to change the number to anything else but what you own. So if you have a range of 100 numbers, you can onlty select one of those. When you use an external call venter, you can saynot to show their number (and pay ffor that) or use their number. So here the law is already in place.
That is called a monitor. Crazy but thing is that you often pay more for a monitor than for a tv. I just use a smart tv as a 55 inch monitor. Never conected it to anything. 500EUR 4 years ago. Now Icould get 4K for it, but no need for now.
Manytimes a tv is cheaper att the same screen resolution. Iam not a gamer nor a movie maker or photographer, so no need for high end stuff.
The reason I imagine they do it is to captivate people to stay longer on their site. The monger they stay, the more they sell. What they are selling the user is ads. Bit like trying to keep people as long as possible in a brick and mortar store. The longer people are there, the more they buy (Ikea is great at that) This will drive some people away. The thing is that it is a numbers game. If they have 10 visitors who, as a total, bring in an income of 1.00 USD and they lose 1 customer while the income goes to 1.01 USD, They have made more monies.
If that is the best financial way to do things, I do not know and I doubt they will tell us.
They are in the business of selling ads. The news part is just a way to lure people.

If your power goes down that often that this becomes an issue, perhaps the powerdown is the issue, not the move to VoiP.

On the other gand, if it were possible to block the ads in magazines, newspapers, on billboards, clothing and on every item i buy, I would.
I already black out or remove the branding on my monitors and other things if possible and buy clothes without branding on them.
More sites are doing that and blick content if they notice adblockers.
