The day after the game came out, a coworker said to me "I caught a pikachu coming out of the shower" which was immediately alarming for a moment until I got the context sorted out in my head.
If news helicopters are flying that low, they are violating FAA minimum altitude regulations anyway (91.119).
(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
(d) Helicopters, powered parachutes, and weight-shift-control aircraft. If the operation is conducted without hazard to persons or property on the surface—
(1) A helicopter may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, provided each person operating the helicopter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA; and
(2) A powered parachute or weight-shift-control aircraft may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section.
They didn't mention the time because it depends where you are located. The article says the planets will be ~5 deg above horizon AT SUNSET and of course the sun sets at a different time depending where you are on the planet. It would have been nice if the summary had mentioned timing with the sunset, though.
Also, Western is capitalized because it is the proper name of a direction.
I learned long ago to keep my media sound turned off on all my devices. Facebook is certainly not the first site or app to want to play sounds without your explicit permission, but you control the hardware so if you must browse Facebook, you can at least turn off your sound and simply turn it back up when there's something you really want to hear.
I know it's not an ideal solution but sometimes you have to live with the solution that you can actually control. Bitching about the ideology doesn't help as much as most of us wish it would.
I agree that the "team sport" mentality has been nothing short of insane, however the GP clearly did not state nor imply that he supports either 'team' and your schoolyard insults say far more about you than anything in the post you're replying to.
I think the point my AC friend here is trying to illustrate is that so much of our country is lost in this same mindset as Trump. Clinton (and really any democrat, or even most of the republicans for that matter) is seen as nothing but the enemy to them.
What's interesting to me is that most of my Democrat friends seem to actually support their candidate (Bernie or Hillary, but not both) and most of my Republican friends seem to oppose Trump but not actually support anyone. To me, the latter is impressive given the fact that they had so many people to choose from. My personal opinion is that no matter who wins, it will be another 4-8 years of not really doing much because congress and the house will continue to oppose the president strongly no matter who they are -- which may actually be our saving grace.
Just peruse the comments on any article like this one on any US news website and see how many people are attacking each other (very offensively and aggressively, I might add) to see what is going on here.
I read "Surveillance Nightmare" and though -- well that's good, I don't want things to be easy for surveillance. Boy was I wrong when I realized they meant it's a nightmare *because* of all the surveillance it makes possible!
Gun articles get clicks. If you look at how many comments Slashdot articles have around this one, you see: 44, 50, 21, 17, 9... but this article has 382. It is in the best interest of Slashdot itself to post articles that get clicks (a lot like Buzzfeed) rather than caring about what the content actually is. The real problem this causes is that we become more and more polarized, which you can see very clearly in the comments on this article, which causes all of us to take extreme positions. That prevents us from being able to fund *real* research so that we can even look at the stats to answer questions like yours: "Who are the dead people?" -- we (the citizens) are so busy spinning everything in whatever direction we already believe that all the media can do is try to keep a step ahead so we keep clicking their links (and seeing their ads). Guns are not the problem. Gun control is not the problem. American culture is our problem. It has always been both our strength and our weakness, but lately it has been a clear weakness and the rest of the world sees it.
Yes, that was actually my question -- can your software be 'riddled' with one bug? I have never heard the phrase twisted that way but I suppose that doesn't mean it's technically incorrect...?
I'm with you! Not to mention the "I may only need one" comment -- as though the money you're paying for the 'cloud' doesn't pay for all the manpower they need to manage all that storage. Yes, it is their core competency and they can do it better than you, so they very well may be able to do it cheaper than you can in-house, but pretending it's whittled down to one person is ridiculous.
Um, this article is specifically about the government in the Netherlands and how they finally decided to protect their constituents' privacy in this way, so you are very clearly wrong when you say:
It hasn't taken governments so long; there are other governments who do have stronger privacy protections (e.g., the Netherlands). It's American voters who are the problem.
It literally *has* taken the Netherlands government this long to do this. The article isn't even about America, and neither is the comment you replied to (at least not stated).
I came for the Republican bashing, but if we're honest with ourselves it's pretty clear almost every candidate on both sides would do the same thing. They may say they won't, but they'll still do it.
He means socialists get the blame for the bad regulation, not for the crony capitalism itself. The distinction doesn't really matter though, it's just a distraction to keep most of us arguing with each other about capitalists vs. socialists while a few individuals keep making their billions off of us.

Watching TV is a choice. No, I'm not the guy who has no TV, but I do at least recognize that I've made a choice by having one at all.

All the conspiracy theorists are planted by the government in order to keep us distracted from what's really happening in the world! Wake up, sheeple!
Careful not to burn your mouth drinking your coffee before it's cool...
Unless it's slow by a minute, then it's wrong all day.

Middle ground is considered a weak position in America and has been for at least the last 15+ years.

Welcome to the 'gig economy' -- in this gig, many people do the work but only one gets paid!
Agreed, there is lots to be outraged about in the world, we really don't need to make stuff up.
I don't see how economic policy plays in to this.
Well, I guess this is my chance to... wait... why am I here again? What article were we talking about? Meh, guess I'll have a snickers.
Yes, true, but EVERYTHING in today's world is hyped to a laughable extent.
I came for the Republican bashing, but if we're honest with ourselves it's pretty clear almost every candidate on both sides would do the same thing. They may say they won't, but they'll still do it.
Are you using a six sided coin?
I love that this is marked informative.
