I don't work for a company with over a million employees but I see this happen frequently. People reply all out of rote habit, not even consciously. It's so annoying. I know one company who customized their distribution of Outlook to not have a reply all button. Short of that, my recommendation is to either protect the large distribution group so that only a select few can email it and/or making use of BCC for that group when original emails are sent so that even if people do reply to all there is no further waste of time. I tried individually shaming people when they did it for a while, sending them dumbass instructions on the location of the Reply button versus Reply to All, but that had a limited impact other than for more people to know I'm an asshole. Oh well...
One thing they still have yet to perfect is English. Maybe they know they're doing it but English language manuals from Chinese manufactures are still barely comprehensible. Would make sense that they don't really know how the position of English alphabet letters work.
Hey, if this leads to a breakthrough in antigravity tech, I'm all for it. But more likely it will use a conventional method for defeating gravity as your aforementioned options note.
I'm not sure how Toronto got into the original explanation, but Seattle is closer to the north pole than Toronto. If you drive 300 miles north of Toronto and then west, you'll hit seattle. If you drive 300 miles north of Seattle and head east, you'll be 600 miles north of Toronto when you occupy the same Longitude
Perhaps he registered for another site with his email address and mobile number. Said site either used that info for no good, sold it to people who used it for no good, or was hacked by people who stole it and used it for no good. Taking his phone number probably put them in a position to be able to get to something more important like his bank account. Or the bank account of his elderly mother who is very concerned that her son texted her or called her saying he needed her to wire him 600$.
On the other side of the coin, I find joy in endorsing my friends in the most random weird things I can find in LinkedIn's pre-built list of endorsements. Did it enough that LinkedIn temporarily suspended my ability to endorse...if only one friend had accepted the "Breastfeeding" endorsement.
I know many IT Recruiters who use it, and have been solicited by a few good IT recruiters that way along with a LOT of not so good. I think IT is its primary use.
I found this out on a high school trip. I knew that disposable cameras just had a regular film canister inside them and one of my friends didn't believe me so I took to opening mine once I was done with it. It was the model with a flash and as I used the metal pocket knife to pry the plastic case open my whole right arm up to my neck suddenly convulsed involuntarily causing me to drop the knife and camera. I generally knew about capacitors but really didn't know enough about them to think about the possibility that it would be waiting for me. After a bit of surprised cursing, I picked up the camera and looked at where I had the knife and saw two the two leads going to the flash. Using the knife, insulated by something this time, I touched the metal blade across both leads and was treated to a loud pop and flash of light from the arcing current. The knife blade, much to my friend's chagrin, had two divots where it had arced. That was without the battery in. I then used this knowledge to add wires coming out in the shape of a taser like device and though it didn't have nearly the power to arc like a taser, it did very well to cause not-quite-skin-damaging pain to various friends at school. We had a lot of fun with that for a couple weeks.
For 99% the of driving I do they will help. And any additional data my self-driving car can get to increase the likelihood that I make it to my destination alive I find useful. Especially once these self-driving cars become self-flying.
But with all that free time and no worry about distracted driving you'll appreciate being able to look at the smart billboards switch to Viagra ads every time you drive by.
You know...when I watched TNG when it originally aired, I didn't recall it so quickly focusing on Wesley in a Star Wars/Luke Skywalker-esque sort of way far more often than seems reasonable. Rewatching it on netflix I was like...dang...another wesley-centric episode...oh and now he has magic control over warp fields and subspace...ok...oh wesley saved the day again...such a weird focus...
While a cool project for the nerd world to enjoy, it is basically a full size version of a McDonald's Happy Meal tranformer. A far cry from the original hasbro toys, and obviously nothing ever approaching the complexity displayed in the movies. We can wait to welcome our new robot overlords, this one isn't a concern lol.
I really despise people who think they have a right to not pay for stuff that other people create and work for...I don't hope you get ass cancer, but I do hope you have to pay for your testing, because these things cost someone money, why not you?
I don't think this law is a good idea, but Google does stretch the meaning of a snippet with some of their smart search results. They literally keep me from having to click a link in many instances by giving me the information I need within the first part of the results. The website they pull that info from is losing out on my "business" as a result. If it was just the link/title/abbreviated unformatted first 200 characters of the page that most google results show, then I see absolutely no trouble. It's that part where they intercept the viewing consumer prior to them leaving Google that feels a bit shady.
This completely ridiculous law is merely to stick it to Uber while assuring the voting public that he's not trying to hurt them. Completely unenforceable and therefore it is just lip service for the sheep to believe.
Sweet mother of pearl...if people can't afford stuff because there are no jobs where the freak will the funding for UBI come from? Communists like to pretend like the money just magically appears when in reality it necessarily has to be taken from productive individuals and given to less productive or non-productive individuals. People adapt. The machines take away jobs and new ones get created. Nobody is safe from automation and therefore everyone should be ready and willing to step up and figure out a new trade when necessary. If automation were ever to get so utterly ubiquitous that this really started to become a problem you'd have likely entered the post-scarcity world of Star Trek where basic needs are provided for free because they cost little to nothing. And at that point who cares?

Sorry I don't own this distribution, please contact someone else.
The batteries that exploded were made in China. Though they swear that their battery isn't at fault.
Net worth 3.7Billion. US. That puts him pretty firmly in the billionaire club. Whoever you are I understand why you post as AC.

because it's a well known fact that democrats are pro-slavery.

fairly certain these three posts are all the same person.

netcraft has not confirmed it. Neither has any media outlet.
Except perhaps if you are above people....like a loop or one of those tracks that goes over the waiting crowd lol

equally available, yet more expensive?
Their definition of fair is that they get what they want. Their definition of justice is that the law sides with them. Etc.......
