The local police here bring out helicopters for less. I'm not sure what "military" means in this context, but probably the helicopter was there for surveillance or pursuit. If they think he was producing the stuff, or there are multiple people involved, people likely to flee, in a remote rural area - helicopter was probably the best option.
It seems the film industry takes care of this by using "profits" on specific films - numbers that they manipulate however they want - to set pay rates. Seperately, gross revenues are used as the popularity ranking method. I'm sure it makes the accounting more complex, but it seems like they still turn healthy profits with that overhead.
Doing the charts by revenue is actually a great idea, don't mass market movies already do the same? Also, I feel like these plays are no more fake than a DJ hitting the Shuffle button on a playlist that Clear Channel mandates, which has been a part of the charts for decades. At least this new method is crowdsourced, not dumped-on-crowd.
The "professionals" that LinkedIn targets probably spend more than $30 a day on lunch, and these features might lead them directly to extra commissions/referrals/hires, far in excess of that value. If you aren't in that kind of position, they assess you would cancel the subscription anyway, being that it's useless to you. Making things affordable, for mass market, is not always the most profitable option for various business and psychological reasons. (See Apple and other luxury brands)

Do you have any statistics to back this up? The US is becoming more of a safe harbor for scammers and spammers by the month, with the FCC and other regulatory apparatuses having been decapitated. Why the dramatic rise in the past couple years? I don't think it's gotten any easier to scam on the Indian side, they remain at the Rock bottom levels of accountability they've always had.
The telecoms (and thusly the FCC, due to the cronyism of Ajit & others) profit marginally from fake calls by charging customers for them. But it wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that there's payola going on beyond that, direct between the scammer and the boardroom.
To counter the typical Slashdot anecdote, in the absence of good stats, I will provide my own experience: Of the scammer calls I receive almost daily, none of the recent ones have been related to IT, and none of them had Indian accents.
I'm sure there are still Indians hard at work with Remote Desktop, but the bulk of the *new* volume would seem to be Americans trying desperately to catch up with India.
The fence doesn't facilitate the discussion. The fence doesn't blast the conversation out to a million people. Facebook, unlike a fence, is composed of sentient beings who don't *have* to relay messages that incite violence over patent falsehoods.
Shittiest analogy on Slashdot so far today. If we must make an analogy here, which I personally wouldn't, it's more that Facebook is the police department, since they have the ability and authority to moderate clear disturbances in the public square.
Because Apple is playing the long game. Their bet here is that the cheeeto's tantrum ends before long, so why make the "investment"?The reason for it might well evaporate before they could even spool up production.
If your goal is for it to last longer and hit harder you'd be using a bong. Then you still get the flavor of the weed.
Joints of course win in portability, but in recent years the market has been flooded with new kinds of portable vaporizers. Not to mention new kinds of cannabis preparations to use in them.
Locally anyway, smokers who want a slow burning mix with tobacco just reach for a blunt. But with legalization, weed is so cheap and high quality now, I see no reason for me to try adulterating it with anything going forward. I haven't willingly smoked Mexican brick weed in years. It's no longer cheaper. Smoke local...
Presidential staffers don't exercise the 25th ammendment, that is Congress. They have thus far failed. No surprise there. Possibly these fundamental failures writ large will bring a wave of positive change in the Congress by next year. I'm sure these staffers will be leveraging their rights in that regard.
You fail to understand, at a fundamental level, this is not "a job", it's "public service". Their purpose is to serve the common good, or the country, if that other term scares you.
The agreed upon rules include things like campaign finance laws, registering contacts with foreign governments, etc. much of which was ignored. "The rules" went from bent to broken.
On radio, the industry still gets to control the playlists, and through that, availability. Not so much on a site where you can pull up any track ever, on demand.
Most heating applications are more efficient with natural gas, I thought. I'm not sure how the gas infrastructure there is, but in the Texas suburbs most homes have it. Ovens, stoves, water heaters, and central heating all use it. I use an old style whistling tea kettle on the gas stove top.
It's not about asking, it's about being told. Telling you that if you haven't doubled your pixel count within the past couple years, you are falling behind. Its about keeping people spending thousands of dollars a year on consumer electronics.
"Why spend the extra $3000 on a new TV if it's not any better than the old one?" is a great question to ask, but to get to that point, you first need to be thinking, asking. That's not what we have been conditioned to do. We have been conditioned to purchase, consume, keep on the upgrade treadmill. Always remember to shit on the other guy at all costs - this is the way to win. It doesn't matter if you can't see the difference on your 8K TV, because using the TV is not the point. The point is that now you get to show it off.
Considerations like these drive a huge portion of our economy. It's just one more example of the illusory nature of so much of the economy... transactions entirely predicated on deceit (by them) and greed (by both of us). That 3 grand doesn't do anything worthwhile for anyone. You know the workers in China don't see it, and the oligarchs don't need it... Meanwhile, that 3k could feed someone for a year. It could buy a fine set of tools, a used car, or training for someone to conduct their trade. That is to say, it COULD add real value to the economy.
It would be sad if this resulted only in society spinning its wheels and going nowhere. But on the scale we see it today, it is actively ruining our environment. It can only go on for so long before the whole house of cards comes down.
Resolution is the number of pixels, the whole number of pixels, and nothing but the number of pixels. Interlacing complicates this by only updating every other line on each refresh/scan. In 1080i there are still 1080 vertical pixels displayed at all times, but each refresh only updates half of them.
On CRTs that natively interlace, this isn't even much of a problem, as the phosphors on the screen fade gradually after the beam scans each line, leading to the frames blending fairly smoothly - as each new set of lines is scanned in, you still have the afterglow of the previous set, gradually darkening. There have been a dozen different deinterlacing filters devised to try approximating this for LCDs, but none of them have quite the same effect in my experience.
I'm paying attention to your words but there is no content in them. You tell us we are ignoring the real issue and conveniently never go over what that issue is.
More smoke and mirrors than Justin Timberlake collaborating with Snoop Dogg.
I'm sure Monsanto has lots of money to fund a study aiming to prove that glyphosate doesn't cause cancer. I'd go so far as to say it's their duty to fund research on these things, since they are voluntarily choosing to manufacture and market them.
The big question then becomes how to decouple the researchers from the funders to eliminate bias. The easiest, actually the only way I could think of, is for these companies to be mandated to provide the funding to a third party who then administers it. I think, since they are currently in court regarding this, it would be appropriate for the order to come from the court.
Ideally, we'd have a proactive system to address this, but a court-ordered, reactive approach might get us to the same end: figuring out if the stuff causes cancer. But there are broader problems that won't be addressed without a proactive regulatory framework going forward: Restoring trust in the research community. Restoring trust in science in general. The entirety of Monsanto's assets and discoveries pale in comparison to that.
Disposing of them properly is great, when they are no longer usable. The entire issue here, which seems to have completely wooshed you, is that the parts are being made incompatible deliberately to create an artifically high demand for new chargers.
The solution to our ecological problems is encompassed by "reduce, reuse, recycle". Out of those 3, recycling might be the least important. Conveniently, it's also the only one that doesn't cut into Apple's bottom line.

Also keep in mind a portion of the berg is above water when it's solid. Even if the volume stayed the same, melting would still raise the sea level.
His "negotiating" seems to be working out more like an episode of Maury than disciplined businessman.

Good interview maybe. The big question is, is it good weed, and can you pass it already?

Not if they start using the Tesla Flamethrower for pipe welding.
