Because the manufacturer of the device cheaped out, and didn't give each device a unique serial number. The OS can't really tell the difference between different devices.
Of course they're not 100% safe! Nobody with an ounce of knowledge and honesty ever claimed otherwise.
The well documented claim is that *vaccinating is better than the alternative*. Seatbelts aren't 100% safe either, but you'd have to be pretty stupid to use that as an argument for not using them.
They are *NOT* misguided. There is simply too much easily available, high quality information on the risks, the benefits and the working of vaccines.
These people are *wilfully ignorant*, and their actions put *other people* in danger.
If anti-vaxxers only risked themselves, no one would care. It would just be a particularly stupid pastime for them. Instead, anti-vaxxer *children* are first in harm's way, and right after that is basically "everyone with a compromised immune system".
They can continue to spew their stupidity if they want, but the rest of us sane people are perfectly justified in pressuring companies to kick that shit off their sites.
But anti-vaxxers aren't refusing to take the vaccine - they are refusing to have it administered to someone else. There's no 'right to self determination' going on here, only the right of children to be treated as people and not property.
Society (properly) defers to parents in any case where harm is not immediately apparent. However, children are not owned, they are *entrusted* to their parents, and if the parents fail to provide, then society steps in. Then the standard is 'in the best interests of the child'.
Outside documented medical exceptions, vaccines are in the best interest of the child. Why should we let *anyone* prevent that?
You have to remember that the people deciding not to vaccinate are, in fact, complete sociopaths. A common 'rebuttal' to your line of reasoning is "I will not set my child on fire in order to keep your child warm." Yep, they actually think that the vanishingly small chance of an adverse reaction outweighs the substantial chance that measles would be a *death sentence* for cancer patients - the death rate among cancer patients catching measles is about 50%.
OR, maybe suicide prevention isn't an innate skill, and people who are trained to dispatch first responders may not actually be the best first line contacts for suicidal people.
If someone suicidal has managed to reach out, you don't want them hanging up because the respondent isn't trained to deal with them.
By all means have 911 forward the call if they receive it, but if that's all they're going to do, may as well go directly to the experts.
Permanent block may not work well - if they are faking the number, you've now blocked a third party (or an unused number) that had nothing to do with the spam.
- out of manoeuvering fuel, so it can't point the radio dishes properly. - a fault could develop that could leave the transmitters screaming into the void, damaging or blinding other probes or earth based DSN dishes.
The article you pointed to doesn't explain why I (running a Canadian website) should care in the least about what the EU says.
GP's point is still valid. If you don't have a presence in the EU, there is absolutely no reason to think their rules apply, no matter what the EU says.
The airline fought to *have* this ID requirement. It prevents ticket re-selling, all booking changes go through the airline and they can charge you for it.
If you are trying to refute the GP, you are doing so very, very badly. The G.P. is correct, and nothing you said actually contradicts him. The only thing he said incorrectly was that the craft will orbit the point - it doesn't, it orbits the sun, but it does move around the Lagrange point in a semi-stable manner.
Orbits are, *of course* curves described by parameters. It so happens that in the co-ordinate system centered on the Lagrange point, and aligned to the sun, that the movement of spacecraft around the Lagrange point is, in fact, described by a Lissajou curve.
Since this isn't a scientific paper, I'll direct the curious here: That wiki thing
I don't think the parent was trying to say anything about the profession - it's the *evangelicals* who have the problem, but gave 45 a pass. I believe he is commenting on the hypocrisy.
Very sure. If distant clusters were anti-matter, at some point there would be a boundary. Annihilation at the boundary would be crazy obvious, like "outshines entire galactic clusters at x-ray wavelengths" obvious.
Knock on effects. Oops, missed your connecting flight. Oops, flight crew is now over hours, have to get another one. Oops, flight didn't make it, so the flight out of the destination is hooped as well.
Because it was engineered for spot welds, and certified as such. Your type of repair is neither tested nor certified. It would cost more to *certify* the fix for 290 cars than the cars are worth.
But the CO2 is released by heating, so in addition there's the CO2 from the *kiln*. Current kiln's are probably burning natural gas, so until they are replaced with electric kilns running on renewable power, cement production will still be a large producer of CO2.
Because the people driving cars do not have the same level of training as the people piloting planes.
There's more a name than the activity level. The name is about communication, and the general public simply does not have the training to makes those distinctions. Thus, since the *audience* is qualitatively different, using the same name is a mistake.
Overnight charging is an excellent use to pick up extra capacity in baseload generation. However, that extra capacity is there precisely because baseload has long response times, and so is hard to throttle. It doesn't really do anything to reduce needed generation the next day. As someone else noted, solar is daytime, and I think in most areas wind generation works better during the day. Tidal generation though is pretty much time independent.

If they don't have rights then neither do you.

Previous shut-downs locked the gates to the parks. Those optics looked bad, so the gates were left open for this shutdown.
Way more people in the parks during this shutdown, and there's nobody there to stop them from doing dumb and destructive things.
A minor nit - only fresh water is densest at 4 deg. Salt water expands from its freezing point upwards.

Then it's *still* irrelevant, because fire-fighting is not law-enforcement. What are they going to do, arrest the fire and send it to jail?
