It's like being on Oxford Street and being able to work out everyone around you who was in debt. According to the financial charity, the Money Charity, the average UK household debt (including mortgages) was $76,000, in June last year. That's a lot of notifications.
Because everyone, or even the majority, of people on Oxford street would be 'average' and 'from the UK,' instead of, say, those who work in the City, or tourists?
Since it explains the reasoning why that code is there.(Since another developer could come by and wonder why that code is there.).
But... the code isn't there. The code itself was commented out shortly after.
What's more concerning is why the commented stuff was actually left in there, since I'm presuming they had source control even back then.
And "in case someone put it back in later" isn't really covered since the same sort of code could conceivably be put elsewhere in the code without the programmer seeing this bit of code.
Then, a few months before his death in 2005, he published a study based on 23 years of data which replicated the results of his previous studies while disproving the sick quitter hypothesis by comparing lifelong non-drinkers with moderate drinkers. The latter had lower rates of heart disease and lower risk of premature mortality.
[...]
The sick quitter hypothesis was repeatedly tested and found wanting. The protective effect on the heart was repeatedly shown to be real and not the result of unhealthy former drinks in the non-drinking group.
And where, prey tell, is this 'free money' going to come from?
Oh - from those actually gainfully employed. Via tax.
Or by increasing government debt. Upon which the gainfully employed will be paying their taxes to pay the interest for. And their children to pay the principle off.
What you're asking for is not a new word, but for the public to understand a nuance of something they don't frankly give a shit about.
We already had a word for what 'hack' means these days - "crack", but because the aforementioned lack of giving a fuck, the good connotations of the word 'hack' got lost, and it basically became synonymous with 'crack.'
The article didn't indicate if these users were already smoking traditional cigarettes
Nor, had e-cigs not been a thing, they would have been smoking anyway, and the presence of e-cigs merely delayed the takeup of normals cigs (rather than being a gateway, as these sorts of studies tend to proclaim.)
some have suggested that the Mobile Data Always Active option is to blame. You can access this setting by enabling Developer Options and flicking the toggle to the disabled position. In previous versions of Android, the Mobile Data Always Active option was disabled by default, but is enabled now in Oreo.
In 2012, LinkedIn was the victim of an unauthorized access and disclosure of some members' passwords. [...]
Yesterday, we became aware of an additional set of data that had just been released that claims to be email and hashed password combinations of more than 100 million LinkedIn members
The number of U.S. adults who had at least one same-sex partner since age 18 doubled between the early 1990s and early 2010s (from 3.6 to 8.7 % for women and from 4.5 to 8.2 % for men). Bisexual behavior (having sex with both male and female partners) increased from 3.1 to 7.7 %, accounting for much of the rise, with little consistent change in those having sex exclusively with same-sex partners.
Well, that's because tobacco products cost society a huge amount of money in health care costs
If you're going to cite the costs of healthcare while they're still alive, you're going to have to net off the savings made by them dying earlier and not incurring the health costs of looking after long-lived dementia sufferers and government pensions not paid out.
People who live longer cost "the health system and taxpayer" more than those that die earlier of $SIN_DU_JOUR.
Moderate drinkers are less likely to suffer from an early death or various diseases, and it's not until you get to around 80g/day of ethanol (8 UK alcohol units, 4.6 US alcohol units) that you are back to the same risk level of a tee-totaller.
On Nov. 18, Maria Hasankolli of Wallingford, CT, came home in the early hours of the morning after visiting a relative at the hospital. She overslept while her 8-year-old stepson got himself ready for school — and missed his bus. The boy, Lucan, decided to walk to school on his own, two miles away, and was about halfway there when a business owner spotted him and called the cops. The cops drove Lucan to school, then went to his home, woke Hasankolli and clapped her into handcuffs.
She was driven to the police precinct, had her mug shot taken, and was given a $2500 bond. Her court date is this Wednesday. The charge?
Trouble is, this idiot and her daughter were in one of the 51st states - the UK. (Not that it's illegal in the UK, just addressing your presumption that this sort of ignorance is restricted to the US.)
But biometrics cannot, and absolutely must not, be used to authenticate an identity. For authentication, you need a password or passphrase. Something that can be independently chosen, changed, and rotated.

I thought it was more conventionally used the other way...
Because everyone, or even the majority, of people on Oxford street would be 'average' and 'from the UK,' instead of, say, those who work in the City, or tourists?
Money Charity clearly shroud-waving here...
... couldn't they simply split their users up into, say, 24 groups, and reduce the load that way?

Below 35 miles per gallon?

There is no 'free money.'

When the editors themselves deign to read the articles before posting, so they can come up with the questions to be asked.
May also improve the editing process as a pleasant side effect.

Why is a study about homosexual and bisexual behaviour actually being on the increase (eventual source of the 'story',) that doesn't mention abstinence in it's heading or abstract being hijacked into a news story about something the study wasn't exploring?
(emph mine)
So let's see, where does the UK make most of it's trade? Exactly: With other EU countries.
"Most" there implies a lot more than 50%.
Nowhere near: https://www.uktradeinfo.com/St...
And it's only imports that ever get over 50% of trade from EU. Exports are hovering around the 45% being to the EU.
...I need to ... what? Chop a leg off? Move house?
Sounds like another version of "use something you can't change as a password, rather than as a user id."

So does drinking in moderation. Google 'alcohol j-graph'.

How can Bittcoin become a successful currency if it can't break a pretty meager Transaction Per Second barrier?
5 transactions per second should be enough for anybody....
No, if that were the case they would instead repeal the old law.
Which they're not doing. A recent case: http://www.freerangekids.com/m...

Zip *tie*, not zip. You probably call them cable ties.
Once again a company decides to use something that should be equivalent to a user-id as a password and gets it wrong.
This is the same deal as it is with using fingerprints as 'passwords.': http://blog.dustinkirkland.com.....
