That depends. Some religious zealots believe that a fertilized human egg before its first division is a "human baby" and is a "life" -- they might well also come to believe that a fully formed human body is also something more than just a collection of cells.
Presumably by then, the immune system will be better understood and she would be given the treatment (such as vaccines whatever replaces them and/or returning the immune system to its "just born" state boosted with a starter of [fake] mom's immune system and/or) necessary to protect her before exposing her to the unfamiliar pathogens.
Why would they care about how useful their technology when applied to someone frozen with 300 year old technology? They will care if its useful when applied to someone frozen with what is then relatively current technology.
If they really want to go into the revival of dead bodies preserved with old technologies, they would go back at least as far as Egyptian mummies and revive them (if, nothing else, for the humor value of watching someone from that era "awake" in a futuristic world - it would make a great YouTube video).
It would also need a powerful speaker so it sounds like a sports car. Perhaps you could pick from what vehicle you want your car to sound like. Maybe on Monday you feel like a LaFerrari while on Thursday 918 Spyder seems right. Might as well toss in Atlas 5 or a Falcon 9 (with explosion option) in the mix as well.
For adults, that's certainly true for consumer washer machines because adults exceed the load capacity.
In high capacity consumer washing machines, however, you can wash most babies under about one year old.
Just remember to look up the weight capacity of the washing machine and weigh the baby every couple months to make sure you're not exceeding the machine's capacity. Be careful because if you exceed the washing machine's capacity you will void the warranty on both the washing machine and the baby.
If the people in the market were screaming, they must have seen me and it's their responsibility to get out of the way of my Tesla -- just like bicyclists and ICE powered cars are expected to do.
The summary makes it clear that it only determined a correlation between Facebook usage and longer life, not a causal relationship. One doesn't need a control group to reach that conclusion reliably. For example, I can reach a reliable conclusion that Male humans are, on the average, taller than Female humans just by looking at a representative population.
(Of course, the reason may be that people who are unhealthy just don't have the energy to use Facebook or are spending their time on medical sites instead of engaging on Facebook).
"We need to go into space if we want to continue growing civilization,"
The real question is do we want to grow our civilization and, if so, in quantity or in quality or both? Obviously if we breed beyond replacement levels we will eventually overpopulate any fixed finite space. It's not clear that optimizing for the maximal number of humans is the best outcome. I think we should instead be focusing on reducing human population to managable numbers while advancing social structures and technology to have better human lives rather than just more human lives. One could eliminate about 80% of the people on Earth and have little negative impact on the human race.
Generally agreed. However, past expenditures on a project like the F-35 have some relevance to the extent they have reduced the number of unknowns with continuing the partially completed program vs. scrapping it and starting a brand new one which has not been designed, let alone implemented, yet. A much larger risk adjustment factor should, of course, be added for accounting purposes to the projected cost of the of the "new" program than to the cost of completing the established program -- however, we are notoriously bad at estimating the future cost of large and technologically advanced projects that are paving new ground so that's hard to do with reasonable accuracy.
If one gets the "risk adjustment factor" wrong for new programs, one can easily end up for decades "starting over" spending vast sums of money -- and never get anything to solve the problem you are targeting.
Leaving keys in the ignition of decoy car is not "entrapment" in any way. The law doesn't say that you are allowed to steal something just because it's easy to take.
The 18+ year old decoy seems a bit more problematic. After all, at least in the US, it's not illegal for some middle age creep to fantasize about sex with underage individuals and it's not illegal for them to play out that fantasy with someone who is actually over 18. This is the case regardless of if the other party is aware, or unaware, of the woman's fantasies about underage sex partners or actively participates in the fantasy aspect of their relationship. So, if the decoy is actually 18+, the target could actually believe (correctly) that the decoy IS trying to look younger than 18 but is over 18 and assume that the decoy is also into "age inappropriate" fantasies and enter into what is a perfectly legal consensual adult sexual relationship even if both parties play the fantasy aspect to the hilt. That could be entrapment -- but shouldn't even be prosecutable (no crime occurred).
Indeed. I was so crippled by the fact that when I was in school I didn't learn the OS and environment that was most prevalent in enterprise ("glass house") at that time and instead learned "alternative" computers, operating systems, and languages. I had no exposure to JCL or MVS or IMS or COBOL and hardly any to FORTRAN. I was horribly handicapped by that dreadful state of affairs.
Oh wait, later when I was developing system software/hardware that was displacing some of that cruft, I learned a bit of JCL as some of our supported clients were IBM systems. That was horribly difficult [NOT].
I'm hope the little snowflakes can get over the trauma having learned an additional environment. There is some hope as most of them probably learned both multiplication and addition which must have been horribly confusing.
I hate to reply to my own posts, but I realize I left out an important pro tip.
There are some reports that people who have done this had some problems.
Fortunately, I did extensive research and experimentation that reveals that a few people have had problems because they were using inferior drill bits. It's really best to use Monster drill bits -- everyone who uses them has been successful. Yes, Monster bits cost more than Harbor Freight "Warrior" bits, but they are well worth the cost as they insure that you won't have single bit errors on your newly exposed memory. It's possible DEWALT bits would work also, but why take the chance just to save few hundred dollars (pounds for you Brexiting Brits) per drill bit?
Then there was no Fair Housing Act violation on ANYONE's part -- why is this news? I also didn't violate the Fair Housing Act today, but not/. nor any news agency reported this.
No need for a dongle. I don't recall the link, but search YouTube -- you can already find a video on how to add more memory with just a hammer drill, a 1/4" masonry bit, an impact driver, and a 4" x 7/16" lag bolt. The memory is already in the MacBook, Apple just disables it so you don't even have to buy more memory. Check it out -- I tried it on a pre-production model (which was the last rev so it is identical to the production models) and it really works.
If you can't find the video -- it's pretty simple to do so play around with it a bit. I seem to recall you use the drill to drill/hammer a 1/4" hole 3" deep in the middle of the right edge 1 1/2" from the back and then use the impact driver to drive the lag bolt in to the full depth of the hole. Do be very careful not to drive the lag bolt in more than 3" as that may damage the MacBook. You can then remove the lag bolt (who would be crazy enough to want a bolt head/shaft sticking out of their notebook?). This action will have activated the "enable all memory" switch (it's inside an potted assembly so you can't get to it easily -- hence the lag bolt and drill). You may want to buff out the case where you drilled through it so it looks factory fresh. Really, the only trick is to make sure you drill at right angles to the case.
So, it appears ProPublica may have violated the Fair Housing Act by placing this ad. HUD should investigate and fine them as appropriate. I suggest that everyone here file a complaint with HUD about ProPublica's behavior.
The publisher (Facebook) didn't place the ad, the advertiser did.
I'd bet that Facebook has adequate disclosure on its site and in its terms of service for advertisers (although, I've not confirmed this) about the Fair Housing Act's requirements.
The fact that an individual ad is, for example, targeting non-Hispanics in ads they place on Facebook does not mean they are discriminating against Hispanics in violation of the Fair Housing Act. The advertiser may be spending 95% of their overall advertising budget specifically targeting Hispanics in forums (such as Telemundo) other than Facebook and be trying to reach non-Hispanics as well as part of an overall balanced advertising strategy. Facebook can't possibly be expected to know this as Facebook has no idea what the advertiser is doing in other media.
I believe you are reading too much into the reference you cited. The document doesn't declare anything illegal (except to the extent Fair Housing Act that it is based on does). In the case of selective use of adverting, for example, it says the following [emphasis added]:
109.25 Selective use of advertising media or content.
The selective use of advertising media or content when particular combinations thereof are used exclusively with respect to various housing developments or sites can lead to discriminatory results and may indicate a violation of the Fair Housing Act . For example, the use of English language media alone or the exclusive use of media catering to the majority population in an area, when, in such area, there are also available non-English language or other minority media, may have discriminatory impact.
The document does not claim that such behaviors necessarily are violations of the Fair Housing Act. However, when HUD is evaluating a claim of a violation they are likely to look closely at such behaviors to insure that they don't lead to discriminatory results or have a discriminatory impact.
The word "may" is quite different from words like "shall" in laws and regulations and guidelines.
As well, review the 'Purpose' section in the introduction [emphasis added]:
109.10 Purpose.
The purpose of this part is to assist all advertising media, advertising agencies and all other persons who use advertising to make, print, or publish, or cause to be made, printed, or published, advertisements with respect to the sale, rental, or financing of dwellings which are in compliance with the requirements of the Fair Housing Act. These regulations also describe the matters this Department will review in evaluating compliance with the Fair Housing Act in connection with investigations of complaints alleging discriminatory housing practices involving advertising.
It is possible that he has a locked down computer owned, monitored, maintained, and upgraded by the medical facility he works for and uses VPN. If so, it would be more secure than when you request a DVD of a scan and the facility snail mails it to you unencrypted.
You also have to be careful to use the correct drill bit - titanium nitrite is recommended as it improves the signal quality once the headphone jack has been exposed.
Any drill bit you use will leave trace material on the surface of the hole and this of course effects the quality of the signal (the residue acts as an unpredictable unbalanced shield -- obviously bad news).
Although titanium nitrite bits result in much higher sound quality than HSS bits, some experts suggest using Monster drill bits to be sure to get the best quality sound, Although my experiments indicate this only yields a minor improvement over titanium nitrite bits, the true audiophile may want to make the investment in spite of the cost of the Monster bits. One reason they work better is that Monster bits have a more even proprietary coating on them so it rubs off more evenly and Monster tests each bit using scientific quality assurance methods to insure each bit meets their standards.
I was simply responding to the whining "my neighborhood is great and I like it and I don't want it to change but I didn't buy into a HOA community that could change the rules as needed for my little enclave because I'm too cheap to pay for that". If you hope to prosper by the tyranny of the majority (via bought politicians), understand you may die by the tyranny of the majority as well.
Much of Airbnb is selling inferior goods (excess capacity) - only a few buyers (10%?) would choose the inconsistency of Airbnb over a Four Seasons property AT THE SAME PRICE.
I suspect we are mostly in violent agreement. However, if there is going to be a Four Seasons' property in your city, it has an extremely high fixed overhead that it must cover even if they only have one of 120 rooms occupied. That is quite a different situation than Airbnb - where most property owners are trying to gain revenue from that which previously generated zero revenue.
Over they the years when traveling overseas, I've been in situations where we were the only guest in a twenty or thirty room establishment - but, because it was a place that strove to be pleasant and wanted to maintain their reputation and their Michelin ratings, they lost money every day we were there (if we hadn't been there, they would have just told almost all the staff to stay home and would not have paid them). Admittedly, it has been kind of strange sitting in a big dining room with many tens of tables and we were the only table with people at it and the entire staff was catering to us and using their best silver on our place settings.
But, if you offer the property (and accept renters) for every week with a 60 day overlapping term, the first time someone accepted your offer and discovered they couldn't stay because the prior renter decided not to exercise their "early out" option and stayed for their full 60 days, they will (rightfully) excoriate you on Airbnb and when 2/3 of the people who were stiffed raise hell (in ratings, comments, and w/Airbnb), your gig is over.
Maybe some Airbnb renters plan only two or three days ahead, but I'll bet the majority book two or three weeks ahead.
Of course, that would make it difficult to keep the place rented full time. One guest would decide to stay the full 60 days. The next renter would pay the "cancellation fee" after a week -- and you now have no renters lined up because you couldn't put it on the market until the one-week guy gave you your $20 cancellation fee and left (because you had made a commitment to the full 60 day term).
