They have no case, even against themselves. Bernie lost because the DNC rigged the primary - legally. All according to rules.
Except, perhaps, maybe, the Clinton campaign starving his campaign by laundering donations through state committees. But that's an FEC violation waiting only for the FEC to act, as the allegations have been in the public domain for more than a year, and the evidence seems overwhelmingly obvious. Especially to Bernie.
Unless it's very pure, you will deliver minerals, salts, with predictable consequences, not all immediate.
Water will also dissolve and/or deliver contaminants throughout equipment. Again, not good, and the impacts not necessarily immediate.
As a solvent, water is different than many used in manufacturing electronic equipment, so what wasn't a problem before exposure may become later. Even high humidity can cause this.
Pure water should be safe, but it's all the other contaminants that it dissolves and delivers that are the problem. And datacenters are often not very clean, despite looking so.
I wrote tech bulletins and advisories at the 8th grade level. on advice of the vendors.
Troubleshooting and diagnosis guides and general documentation I wrote at the 5th grade level, by request, again by those with long experience writing to technical audiences. Not because they are deficient, or marginally illiterate, but because they pay too little attention to detail, are hurried, and don't really care enough. And to limit the vocabulary to the most commonly shared set. Being clever doesn't serve your audience in these situations, even if they are as clever as you.
Thank you for the thoughtful, thorough analysis. Clearly your grandfather's experience was the definitive one, and my observations are entirely uninformed.
Hardly. Food, water, and shelter impact everything for these kids. But spending $1300 to school 10 kids in a village might not be as productive as drilling a well, putting a roof and walls on the existing school space, even sending livestock if carefully chosen. Books come cheap and can be shared.
Laptops in advance seem not so productive, but of course if everything else is solved then sure, go for it.
Hungry is the problem no matter where the kids are. and food is an access problem, not a supply problem. Some part of Africa can;t get food to kids because the military is either stealing it or intending to starve the undesirable population.
When you anthropomorphize the server, you describe a circumstance that does not exist. The server didn't 'authorize' as you or I might, it responded to the request as programmed, delivering data as expected given the nature of the well-crafted request.
A better analogy might be that you are given a number and are waiting in line to be assisted. You have two questions, however, and since you see no one in line, you offer the next number also, and so get a second answer. And a third. Mind you, the server would happily use the same number over and over to deliver results, but you see the process and take advantage of it to acquire information you ordinarily would need to specifically ask for, and from some other authority than the server code.
And I do think this is an example of poor security and controls, misplaced blame, and possibly even a revealing incident exposing the problems of making private information available to allegedly 'public' requests. If a FOIA request in the US is honored, usually PII is redacted unless it is the point of the request, and then it's not private any more... In Canada, I dunno, but I bet it's similar for similar reasons. And has been well described here, if you're not securing it, you're doing it wrong. Not them. You.
Sure you are. If it weren't for positive cash flow, appreciating resale, and a rising rental market, I'd consider dedicating another synapse to this offer.
I get unsolicited calls on a regular basis that don't ring and leave voicemail.
Currently I get calls offering to purchase property they assume I own. I do, and I know why these are coming, and it's disappointing that so many third parties share data in a way that exposes me to now daily calls asking to buy my property. I tell them to remove me from their list, but so far most immediately disconnect, apparently thinking this shields them from having to honor my do not call request. I'm already in the national do-not-call program, that's not solving this because it's caused by contact with a third party.
I also get the inevitable calls related to my age, and these will only increase in frequency. It's impossible to report them when they change numbers so frequently, and of course VOIP spoofing is trivial.
I don't think you know what the hell you're writing about. A robotic vacuum cleaner might meet the definition of 'single purpose', but what that's relatively primitive. So microkernel should be considered appropriate for toasters, etc?

Yup, as simple as unplugging a power cord because 'everything's redundant, we can cover this'.
You can do that once only.
There are so many reasons to not use water.

"How can you herd them if they are silent?"
You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to cluster
Oh, wait...
This is wrong, by the way, demonstrably wrong.
'Ungood' isn't the exact opposite of 'good'. It may be better defined as the absence of good, which could be neutral or 'bad'.
You started it, not including the sarcasm flag is your fault.

I guess I'll be wearing active hearing protection to the data center from now on, eh?
People leaving the island is a free market working.
it's just that the free market they are migrating to isn't on the island...
Thank you for the thoughtful, thorough analysis. Clearly your grandfather's experience was the definitive one, and my observations are entirely uninformed.
Actually, I suspect we do, right now. We would just have to skip some testing and take chances.
'safely put people in space' is a better goal.
"Don't just drill a well for them, it creates dependency and laziness."
Oh my. The dumb is so hard to overcome.
Foot pumps are more practical. Electricity? Not where you think it is.

She was a music teacher. Ask her kids what sort of monster parents they had.
More helpful advice from the community.
This was a tired waste of time in 1989.
My wife knows it's hard to get kids to sing when they are hungry, or don't know where they are sleeping tonight.
Equally difficult if kids are trying to use some newfangled laptop thing when they don't have clean water, or enough food.
Drill a well first. Engage one of the available nutrition providers. Then put a roof on the school. Then you can teach.

"with the caveat that no history is fully complete"
Yeah, they were (past tense) necessarily writing about how things were (past tense).
Or at least CityLabs tends to look backwards, decry the failures, and then look forward to a Utopian recovery.
Well, they don't have to pay for it, so sure they do. Surely city planners worldwide hang on their every syllable.
Huh? This is an immutable law, or just what you write when you aren't sure what you wrote won't offend someone?
Gawd, now my American History AND World History teachers are spinning in their graves.
You so deserve this cr*p.
It's bad enough the so-called mainstream outlets spew forth so much redundant cr*p, but to go to a third-party distributor?
Nope.
Sure you are. If it weren't for positive cash flow, appreciating resale, and a rising rental market, I'd consider dedicating another synapse to this offer.
Yes. Works well for me, and is more useful than GMail on Android.
Web version, meh.

Tell that one to Apple. Or BlackBerry.
