He still would have to have been standing *in* the flame. They aren't planning to bomb parts of the forest that aren't already burning. The whole point is that it snuffs out the flame.
It's odd that you don't see that it would still be the same study. Men survive more than women if the doctor is male, and women survive more than men if the doctor is female. There's plenty for both party's fanatics to be butt-hurt about, I guess you just decided to pick one.
Talk about a headline that's spun all to hell. How is that any different from "Men die more from heart attacks than Women, unless the ER doc is male"??? It's the same damned fact. And yet I don't see anyone else pointing this out. I'm depressed at the state of/. commentators these days.
A better, Slashdot oriented headline would be something like "Heart attack mortality rate bears correlation with gender of patient vs. doctor" but I guess less of you would click on it if it said that, eh?
Deliver stuff to where people work. Most businesses get a lot of deliveries anyway, and are often located close to other businesses and delivery locations.
Not a bad idea at all, although in the US probably a lot of folks would assume that means their employer will start to monitor and/or censor their purchases. There's not a lot of trust in this country.
I don't know -- Amazon loves to show me ads for things I already bought *from them* right on their front page. They call it "Inspired by your shopping trends" and "recommendations for you" but both of those sections show products similar to items I have purchased through them recently. They should be pretty sure I bought it already at that point, since I bought it from them.
That said, maybe the sales/ops department and the marketing department are disconnected from each other, the way departments at any dysfunctional fortune 500 get disconnected...
My wife and I used it for the first time last week (complimentary month, courtesy of a friend). It was not a great experience, mainly because while my Android app stopped me from checking in while we were too far away, her iPhone app did not and when we arrived at the theater her card did not function at the cashier. So far, it's understandable. She figured "it let me check in so I'm good" but the rules state you have to pick up your ticket within 30 mins of checking in. Chalk that part up to "users don't read info messages" which any developer already realizes.
The bad/stressful part -- certainly dealing with the card not working at the cashier was not the most fun but TBH the cashier was great about it even though they don't work for MoviePass. We ended up paying for her ticket out of pocket and the movie was great. After that, my wife contacted customer support, and I would have expected them to say something like "Hey, just so you know, here are the rules... but we'll take care of you this time." Instead they basically said "go suck an egg" and she immediately canceled as a result.
Getting back to your point, if things go smoothly it can remove the relative stress of high ticket prices, but if they don't go smoothly it actually adds a lot more stress. Customer service matters! It always has, and when a customer's first experience makes them feel bad -- even if it's ultimately their own fault -- they won't want to be associated with that product anymore.
For the 1% of geek iPhone users, you can sideload if you have Xcode. Most of the 99% of iPhone users who aren't geeks would rather be able to download any app safe in the knowledge that an expert has checked that it's not going to hose them.
Exactly -- and Xcode requires an apple computer. That indicates more of the same monopoly.
Also, Apple's walled garden is vastly different than the majority of corporate private networks because it's not a private network.
I get what you're saying. I guess it's just sad to me that we have to write laws & rules for everything these days, and you can't just expect people to have a reasonable amount of respect for those around them.
Watching on from the other side of the world, it is sad to see America reduced to tribalism in their political and judicial decision making like this. Everything has become about supporting the home team, and sticking it hard to the opposition.
It's sad to see from within America, too. Politics is not sports, stop acting like it is!
I agree with you about it being annoying but not as 'horrible' as real smoking. One counter, though, is that people vape in places they'd never smoke (in this day and age). I had a colleague who was vaping in our board room during meetings. To me that's a bit overboard, not just a little annoying.
I'm still with you though, I think vaping is helping far more than it is hurting. I just wish a certain subset of its users would have a little more tact.
Maybe you should learn to read, I said nothing about them being at a light. Also, no, I don't ever intentionally impede other drivers in any way. Don't be a dick.

So you could call them.... "Just fluff, no stuff"
Did you just offer a strawman about strawmen?

When I first read this, I tried to figure out which party was which. Then I realized it doesn't matter. Great quote.
Haven't you ever heard of a sea horse? Where do you think they come from?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this!
Bingo -- and I realize the I am included in that.

Except, maybe, software developers who make up a large portion of this community -- because the first set of 10 would be 0-9, not 1-10...
For that matter, even the gas planets *could* support life (or maybe previously could have), perhaps in a different form than we currently understand.

Well, it's on the internet now, so no longer rare, right?

You need to do a conversion from Americans to American Households for that to work.
Because they went to the zero case to RECEIVE a reward, which is the opposite of the instinct you described.
P (entire comment):
Sometimes the example just show themselves I guess.
Newsflash, webdevs still make these same mistakes. Often times there is little or no distinction between a "web dev" and a "mobile dev" in reality.

Today's "us vs. them" is literally everything. We can't even agree on "yanny" or "laurel" when one of the two isn't even a word.
