There's no whoosh. Even if the EU had complete control over everything Facebook did, they'd still have no control over America. It's simply a dumb idea.
Vinegar Joe was saying that the EU is trying to control former colonies (such as the US) by regulating what US-based companies must do.
Not that I'm a fan of Facebook, but, dead people don't use Facebook and view advertisements, so I don't see what value Facebook gets out of maintaining their profiles. Even living people, FB has no actual obligation to host their content and profiles. They do so because they gather the advertising dollars and sell the consumer analytics.
My father passed away 2 years ago. he had a shared Facebook account with my mother (still living and primary heir of his estate). We've maintained the Facebook account because it documents his life. My dad literally touched tens of thousands of lives. We've downloaded what we can, but his account is still active and serves as a memorial. My grandmother passed away 1 year ago (in fact, it was on the 1 year anniversary of my dad's death). My aunt (the executor of my grandma's will) maintains the Facebook account as a memorial.
Facebook is based out of California. In 1821 Mexico (including Alta California) gained its independence from Spain. In 1846 Alta California rebelled against Mexico and formed the California Republic. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) granted ownership of that land to the USA (which was an English colony before declaring independence in 1776). California gained statehood in 1850.
#6 plastic is recycled where I live, but straws lack the mass to stay on the conveyor belts used to separate recyclable materials and transport them into separate piles
So, what you're saying is they automatically separate themselves from the other stuff as they're being conveyed?
I wonder if there's a way that could be a feature?
Utah has blue recycle bins where we put all recyclables which the recycling company accepts (NOTE: glass is not accepted in these mixed containers). The contents of these bins are put on conveyor belts where they are first sorted by magnets and other automated means. As a last resort, actual people line the conveyor belt and separate paper from plastic, etc. Because of the conveyor belts the recycling company does not accept small pieces (they might blow off the belts or stay in the bales they create). American English is my second language, so maybe my post didn't make it crystal clear.
Almost everywhere. Straws are typically made of polystyrene (#6 plastic if you go by the numbers). Very few places will accept PS for recycling.

Here the Google translator never, ever gets Brazilian Portuguese (or even Portuguese) right. he is unable to understand the portuguese verbal agreement, the correct order of verbs, and sometimes simply invents expressions that have nothing to do with the original text, to be left alone in the most obvious problems. As a Brazilian Portuguese speaker I have to first "translate" what I mean in the most basic and simple possible way or the translator will completely fail to execute the translation.
What do you expect? Look at how many words have multiple meanings! Is [i]canjica[/i] sweetened cream corn with cinnamon or a dessert made of hominy, coconut milk, shredded coconut, and cloves? Is [i]bomba[/i] bomb, pump, or a pastry in this context? How should the English [i]to be[/i] be translated in this context (ser, estar, ficar, passar)? Is [i]manga[/i] a sleave, mango, or Japanese art? Is yucca called [i]aipim[/i], [i]mandioca[/i], or [i]cassava[/i]? Are you talking about a computer mouse ([i]mouse[/i]) or the rodent ([i]ratinho[/i])? How many Brazilians drop the 'r' at the end of infinitive verb forms. Human language is hard for machines to get 100% correct 100% of the time.
They will be much better taken care of when bused to San Francisco.
I'm not sure if they still do, but Las Vegas used to bus them to Salt Lake City.
Half of Utahns are Mormons, and Mormons are well-known for their charitable donations. As someone who lives in Silicon Slopes, I can attest to the large number f pan-handlers near our on and off ramps and Walmart parking lots. A local channel did a story and discovered some pan-handlers made a 6-figure income.
Do not give pan-handlers money. Instead, take them to take groceries, food, or the bus ticket they always claim to need. Pan handlers in need will accept your generosity while those only wanting money will get the hint. BTW, it is illegal to pan handle or give money to pan handlers here. I donate to the Road Home and other charities who are better suited to sift out those in need.
Your Comcast remote is only outputting codes recognized by your tv, bd, receiver, etc; it does not send a signal to your cable box saying it is turning on another device. Research how universal remotes work.
Speaking how (any) remote work, the end effect turns up to be the opposite:
IR light is IR light, no matter what the logo on the remote say.
IR light is only relatively targeted (it's not an IR *laser*, it's a IR *LED*, and its light bounces nicely off most light-coloured walls. Test it : instead of pointing the IR at the TV, you can also control it by pointing at a white wall behind you.
Basically, the device detects undirected IR blinks.)
So as long as the comcast box isn't in an entirely different room, chances are its IR sensor will see the IR light too.
It's only because its a different *code*, the comcast box knows that it's not destined to it.
But to reach that point, the IR light has already been sensed and the pulse-train has already been decoded into a code, which has correctly been identified as a "target device-specific command".
At that point the box know pretty well you've been pushing the "On" button.
It's an information that could be beamed to the mothership if the firmware is designed to do so.
And then there's an entire different beast lurking there :
most of modern devices are linked through HMDI cables,
HDMI supports CEC commands.
Basically:
- the comcast is already aware if the TV is off - as the TV is already saying so over CEC.
- lots of devices are able to forward commands over CEC (e.g.: the TV should be able to ask the Comcast box to turn on if you select its HDMI input) so in fact, no matter how IR universal remotes work, the devices can already send commands to each other on the HDMI network.
My reply was simplistic. Yes, IR does bounce and reflect off things. Yes, all IR aware devices will translate that into a code. HOWEVER, your devices only know if they recognize a certain code; the IR itself does not say which device the code was meant for. You program your remote to send different codes based on the device selected and the button pressed. None of this information is in the cable box. The cable box just knows that it saw a code it doesn't understand. BTW, IR codes are not unique on a per-device basis. The Comcast remote had a list of over a dozen codes to try for my brand of TV. Some codes are shared by the different models while other codes do something completely different.
It would be ironic if the non-carbon impurities in monkeyshit actually made diamonds of a brilliant and exotic color, otherwise unattainable. Think of Kopi Luwak -- maybe they'd be equally valuable.
In the wild, the animals would go after the best coffee berries; in captivity, they eat whatever their owners give them.
You can program the Comcast remote so that it can control your TV as well. More convenient, but also great for Comcast who now know when you power up your TV -- "she just hit the power up all button".

So your receiver then. They can tell when that is off. You can typically also tell when the upstream display device is off even if you go through a receiver.
HDMI (more correctly HDCP) does know if the device on the other end is listening, but I doubt it reports the status of devices upstream except if the receiver is turned on and the HDMI from the cable box is hooked up to a pass through port on the receiver.
The only way I can come up with the average household watching nearly 9 hours of traditional tv per day is by including the families which plop their kids in front of the boob tube. I watch about 90 minutes per night, but my kids probably watch an hour per day while I'm at work. Not ideal, but kids entertained by the tv means my wife can vacuum the other rooms, do laundry, etc, without the kids all over her.
Sure it's for safety. They just trust passengers in business more, so no safety issue with giving them metal utensils
Well of course. Nobody with money ever did anything bad.
Those with money do a different class of "bad" that generally isn't as violent as someone desperate to get money to feed their family (or their drug habit).
Same thing stopping me from bringing reusable bags to the grocery store: the fact that it's not necessary because I can get what I need there without any excessive cost or inconvenience. (Yeah, charge me one or two tenths of a percent of the cost of my groceries to provide me what was free before and see if I even notice or care. You can add some tiny fraction of a percent surcharge to my dinner bill for bioplastic/bamboo/paper/whatever utensils too and I won't care about that either, so long as it's not metal).
I dislike reusable grocery bags because of the microbes that grow on them without constant cleaning. Any environmental benefit is offset by the water, soap, and energy of cleaning after each use. I rarely throw away plastic "single-use" bags, though. They are a perfect size for most of the trash cans around my house. I keep a few in the diaper bag for when I need to change my young sons. When I have a surplus, I take the excess plastic bags to a store that recycles plastic films.
Undoing moderation to say this, but it has to be said. Unless you are naive enough to believe that the U.S. justice system works 100% of the time in capitol cases and always gets the right man, a death penalty by necessity kills innocent people some percentage of the time. Killing innocents is immoral and unwarranted, and by your own terms, murder.
Now some people may be ok with a "small" number of innocent people being killed for no reason, I am not. Supposedly about 1 in 20, subject to locality. I wish I could find a link but I saw an interview with the former pro-death penalty D.A. of chicago who's mind was changed when a DNA evidence review law was passed and almost half of death row inmates were exonerated. (I hope I am not mis remembering details there).
In any case, a country that concerns itself with justice would never take from one single man that which it can not return without just cause.
As I said, mistakes are made. I don't know what percentage of death-row inmates are eventually cleared. You realize it normally takes decades between a conviction and an execution to allow proper appeals? A conviction in the US does not mean 100% absolute certainty, just "beyond a reasonable doubt." I have not argued for or against capital punishment in this thread because it is too nuanced. The lawful execution of someone convicted of a capital offense but posthumously found not guilty is classified as "wrongful death" and not "murder".
According to DeathPenalty.info, 162 death row inmates have been acquitted, had their charges dropped, or received a "complete pardon based on evidence of innocence" since 1973. DNA was a factor in 20 of these cases.
A report from 2014 which looked at convicted death row inmates from 1973 to 2004 found that 1.6% were exonerated; another 35% were "spared from capital punishment, but remained incarcerated".
you may as well just be chopping off heads with a sword in the public square.
Considering the death penalty is supposed to be a deterrent, this sounds like a much more effective approach...
Punishment should prevent the guilty from repeat offenses as well as serve as a deterrent for others. Some executions are because the criminal poses too great a risk to let live.
Of course. The United States is not short of ways to deliberately murder people. It's just short of ways to do it that involve convincing themselves that they are not deliberately murdering people.
Murder means the death is immoral or unwarranted. Even bad guys might be convicted of "man slaughter" instead of "murder". We deliberately kill people found guilty of certain crimes; we don't deliberately murder them. We are short on ways to humanely end a life.
There are three ethical sticky points on capital punishment. Mistakes do happen, so any execution must take place after sufficient time has elapsed to discover such grave mistakes. Secondly, the execution must be as humane as humanly possible. We will not do death by a thousand cuts, for example, because that would be too cruel. Thirdly, some people argue that any execution is immoral.
"But we had one certain thing about a human language, - that the words are separated with a space, with one space."
I hate to break it to you.... people (like myself) were taught to use two spaces after a full-stop for DECADES. The predecessors of ubiquitous computing were all taught like that as the only reference was typewriters and which were often taught to double-space.
I was taught to use a single space to separate words, but two spaces after a full-stop. I suppose it helps to determine if a period is part of an abbreviation or the end of a thought.
HTML condensing all whitespace, so you can't put two spaces after a full-stop with resorting to non-breaking spaces or other tricks. Since people spend so much time online, a single space is what people ae getting used to.
Volcanoes are almost a measurement error these days.
I think he is referring to Kilauea, which is only 20 miles from Mauna Loa, where these CO2 measurements were taken.
But Kilauea wasn't erupting much in April. The new vents are not in Kilauea's main caldera, but are another 20 miles east in Pahoa, and the prevailing winds blow from NE to SW, which is out to sea, not up the slopes of Mauna Loa, which towers more than 9000 feet above the summit of Kilauea.
Kilauea has been erupting since 1983, just not constant gorgeous fountains. I grew up on O`ahu and still remember warnings about acid rain and vog.
Hurricanes don't happen to Hawaii. Hurricanes are specific to the Atlantic. In the Pacific they're called typhoons.
Ewa and Iniki were called hurricanes, though it might have something to do with Hawai`i being part of the USA. Hurricane Iniki still frequents my dreams.

No, the better solution is to reduce the amount of garbage the sweepers have to handle.
It's not an "either-or" situation. We should reduce as much as we can, but have an adequate system for what is left.
Washing out and reusing soda bottles is actually worse for the environment, because of the harsh chemicals used.
And the line goes "reduce, reuse, recycle", in that order.
They've added another step: reduce, recycle, rot (eg. compost), recycle. Where I live, there's a lot of food waste going to the landfill.
