Although if, as Wikipedia indicates, these are basically a bunch of independently run operations with no central authority... I don't know how you'd get a handle on that except to cut it off completely.
"Artsanal miners" are doing what used to be done by people called "prospectors".
Amazon is apologizing for the disruptions to its S3 storage service that knocked down and -- in some cases affected -- dozens of websites earlier this week.
What am I missing here? Is there a way to "knock down" a website without affecting it?
Here's the thing. Police are allowed by law to lie to, play tricks upon, and intimidate persons of interest in the course of an investigation. Persons of interest who use those tactics on the police, on the other hand, are in violation of the law. It's not symmetrical, so saying, "It's only fair to turn it around" is not true, and if it's a joke it's a poor one.
Even with their body cameras ON they only show THEIR angle of story. We all know how it is the perspective that makes the story.
The obvious solution is to have everyone everywhere recording everything they do, all the time. Wait, wasn't there a Black Mirrror episode where they did that?
Have you ever wonder why so much of the misconduct allegations have not been proven? If you are predisposed to think ALL the accusations are false, and ALL the police officers are saints ALL the time, you are biased.
I saw no such predisposition. Ponder the difference between "rare" and "non-existent" or "so much" and "all".
The person was talking about drivers licenses, not taxi licenses. You don't need to speak English to drive in the UK.
Yes, and the GP was talking about literacy, not language. This is all off-topic anyway; the original article was about taxi (including Uber) drivers' ability to speak English. The UK requires that all licensed private hire drivers are able to communicate in English at an appropriate level. Drivers need to be able to communicate with passengers to discuss a route or fare, as well as read, understand and respond to important regulatory, safety and travel information. More here.
The first time I looked at that URL (all lowercase, as in TFS)
Domain names are not case sensitive (RFC 4343). The remainder of the URL may be (and frequently, not not always, is), depending on the host software. This is also true for SMTP addresses.
It's a sad commentary on the current state of/. that you felt compelled to explain what should be (and would have been just a few years ago) common knowledge to the site's readership. Here's the reason I mentioned the casing of the URL as presented in TFS: as you may have noticed, domain names are frequently presented in mass marketing with casing in order to clarify/emphasize what the site is about or to make it easier to remember what may be a long string of characters. "IsItDownRightNow.com" and "ISitDownRightNow.com" are both easy to remember, but lead the average person to different conclusions; "isitdownrightnow.com" leaves it to the parsing peculiarities of the reader.
Tragically, I'd say upwards of 80% and possibly higher of US internet traffic users utilize only a few large websites so most people won't care and won't notice.
4 years is going to be very painful for a tremendous number of people in this country, whether they want to admit it or not.
So I guess that the 20% of US internet traffic users who will care and will notice is a tremendous number, and the other 80% is what? Yuge? Or were you referring to something other than network performance that's going to make it very painful for a tremendous number of people?
Bingo. ublock blocks the extremely annoying, content-covering, page-jump-inducing add at the top of the page, and an average of 13 other adds per page.
The first time I looked at that URL (all lowercase, as in TFS), I read it as I Sit Down Right Now. I'm sitting down right now, too, so what's the big deal?
Invalid whoosh. Cab drivers need to communicate with their customers in order to provide a minimum level of service. Teachers don't need to be able to drive in order to provide a minimum level of service.
Although I agree with you jail these days is for hardened criminals and training of them
No. Jail is for drunk drivers, shoplifters, wife abusers, and prostitutes. Prison is where you find the hardened criminals, though they may spend some time in jail while awaiting trial.
Jail quality really depends on your state. Where I live, a 30-day jail sentence is just really boring. In other places (e.g. California currently) it could be very dangerous.
Unlikely he'd spend any time in jail for this in California. We don't even keep violent felons in jail for long these days. And in LA, when they get out we thank them for their service.
Its not free. The price of the insurance is added to the purchase price of the car if you select it. And it probably isn't cheap.
TFA says, "It's unclear how much the lifetime insurance and maintenance bundle costs. We reached out to Tesla for clarification, but have yet to hear back." So cost unknown, but probably comparable to what you'd pay for a standard policy. The fact that it's added to the price of the car at purchase means that if you're financing the car, you're also financing the insurance and maintenance.
Although the TFA doesn't specify, it's a pretty safe guess that this insurance is liability only, at state-mandated minimum levels. If you want to cover the cost of repairing the car in the event you cause an accident, you'll have to buy that coverage separately.
We need to organize and seize the assets of the top 400 people who own the United States, returning the assets back to the workers and communities as a network of independent worker cooperatives. It is likely the reason for the surveillance state and the neoliberal goal to disarm the public.
The average net worth of the 400 wealthiest persons in the US is $6 billion (according to Forbes), so the total wealth in that group is $2.4 trillion. If you distribute that evenly among the 324,118,787 people in the US (2016), it comes out to about $7400 each. Enjoy it; you can only do this once.
I'm concerned that my job will be lost to... Indians, automation and age discrimination. However, in no way shape or form do I "experience fear about losing their job to a robot once a week."
Same here. I'm pretty sure that if it happens, I'll only lose my job to a robot once rather than 52 times per year.
my: of, belonging to, or associated with the speaker or writer (me).
That "my job" means "the thing I do to earn money", and not "a piece of personal property" is understood by everyone with the possible exception of you; I suspect that you understand it as well but are just acting like an idiot for reasons that aren't entirely clear.

Have you not seen the movie "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"???
Yes I have. But I found "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" more terrifying.
Nobody's ever flown a train into a building.
True. Also true: if a plane explodes in flight, the airspace it was flying through doesn't need expensive repairs before it can be used again.
Everybody knows, "the Cloud runs on Intel."
Friggin magnets. How do they work?
From TFA: For those who aren’t aware, Cobalt is essential for the lithium-ion batteries found in smartphones, tablets and notebooks.
I thought that was a bizarre term as well; but apparently it is a thing.

Just another tragedy of the commons. It works fine for me; who cares if it tears up the infrastructure?

Of course, proven police misconduct is so rare
Have you ever wonder why so much of the misconduct allegations have not been proven? If you are predisposed to think ALL the accusations are false, and ALL the police officers are saints ALL the time, you are biased.
I saw no such predisposition. Ponder the difference between "rare" and "non-existent" or "so much" and "all".
If they got nothing to hide they have nothing to worry about.
Really? Keep that in mind the next time a law enforcement officer asks you to unlock your phone.

If you do have a battery issue with 6s you can get it replaced for free at an apple store.
Any idea why Apple wants you to do this before they replace the battery?
Curious sig. Do you live in a swing state?
Michigan.
Still can't blame you, unless you voted 10,000 times.
