Carl's Jr./Hardee's has been heavily advertising their meatless "Beyond" burger or several very annoying weeks. Beyond Meats announced the Carl's Jr. deal in January. White Castle (much smaller) has been serving Impossible burgers for some time. Seems like this a Burger King ballyhooing what is really just "me too".
It comes from being a "disruptor". Which is hipster speak for
I'm going to do what I want and I don't care what you think or how it affects you because you are not our target demographic, (even if doing so breaks laws)
Palm Springs dealt with Bird by simply pointing out that they were operating with no business license. They then sent out crews to pick up all of the scooters. Bird was informed that they could pick up their property by paying the impound and storage fees. At last report Bird had not responded. I've seen no recent reports as to whether the scooters have been auctioned off as unclaimed property.
The solution is NoScript. Of course, that also means Firefox,but anyone really concerned about privacy is already running that. NoScript only helps the client, not the server, and it is sometimes annoying to figure out how to get some sites to work on occasion, but if you want the javascript web to work, it's the best answer I have found.
I do see that they have a test version for Chrome, so it may soon be available even for those foolish people
Any gerrymandering (redrawing of voting boundaries) would require redrawing interstate borders - which I don't believe has ever happened to a state after it has joined the union.
Not really strong on history, I guess.
Two states, Maine and West Virginia were created in the run-up to the Civil War. Maine was previously part of Massachusetts and West Virginia was chopped off from Virginia.
I have a friend who is well educated, though in the arts, who reacted very negatively when I made a comment about the silliness of homeopathy. I was informed that in Europe it was generally accepted and had repeatedly been proven effective. He blamed big drug companies for bogus studies showing that it didn't work.
Guess this type of argument actually pre-dates Trump.
You seem to not realize that light trucks are a part of Corporate Average Fuel Economy and that CAFE is the primary reason that Ford moved to aluminum bodies for the F-150. Light trucks are classed separately and do have to meet a lower standard. Current average for cars is 34.2 and 26.2 for light trucks.
It's not Linux, but my laptop has run FreeBSD for six years with no significant battery issues. Battery life is not as good as is claimed by Lenovo, but it's not at all bad and the only thing that does not work is the fingerprint reader. Graphics acceleration works well as does the crypto chip. I get excellent performance playing video from an encrypted partition. Not even close to running out of CPU.
I would not recommend it for gaming, but I would not if running Windows, either.
My only real issue is lack of software support or an adequate replacement for Quicken.
Several years ago, probably over a decade ago, slashdot published an article (that I failed to find) on restaurant noise. Yes, people were complaining about noisy restaurants back then.
To summarize, a restaurant with dining on two floors set up one with hard surfaces, bare brick walls an an exposed ceiling. It was loud! The other was traditional high-end room with wood tables, drapes an other soft sound absorbent surfaces. It was very quiet. Both were serving the same "New American" menu from the same kitchen.
After 6 months the "quiet" floor was closed and refitted to match the noisy floor because the loud floor was booked solid while the quiet floor always had available tables. The hypothesis was that noisy restaurants were perceived as "exciting" while quiet ones were "boring".
The bottom line was that, no matter how much people complain about noise, they prefer that to quiet dining. Loud dining rooms are often very much by design, not acoustic incompetence.
FInnish people: Oh boy, they're basically nothing like the Swedes, Danes or Norwegians. They are very direct (as the article suggest), don't like to small-talk too much, and they are VERY straightforward about basically everything. They're workhorses like NO ONE you've ever met. I've got some Finnish colleagues, known quite a lot of Finns, and you'll be pleasantly surprised that they're just as different from each other as the rest of the population, but they DO share this "seriousness" about them, and in the workplace - this is especially prevalent. Most Finns I've met. are dead serious about their jobs. They don't mind working overtime, they don't mind going above and beyond for what they do - and they aren't impressed by people sluggish or slacking off at work, but they won't say it - not in so many words, but you'll notice that by the people they hang out with, they're usually people who can handle endurance, stamina - and who just do the job without complaining. Finnish SISU is a real thing. Protip: Do not joke with their language, don't mimic their accent, because Finnish is a very hard language to learn, and they're proud of it (with good reason), imagine you trying to learn it, not easy! And they try so hard learning your language. I've had some honest - deep conversations with Finns, and they'll tell you this, if you care to listen - and they like you. If not, you're just making yourself look foolish to them, and will most likely be ignored. Don't go thinking that Finns are boring stiffs, I've known enough Finns to know they have an absolutely AWESOME sense of humor, but it's much more well thought through, and this reflects their seriousness.
Hmm. Does this description seem to fit a certain developer of the worlds second most popular OS pretty well? Only from what I have heard about him.
I might also mention that Finns and their culture descends from Asian migrants and their language is quite distinct from other Scandinavian and Germanic (and, for that matter European) languages.
Why would my post lead you to believe that I am not a Christian? I am simply disgusted by the behavior of the many who make that claim, usually loudly and belligerently, but ignore what Christ taught.
And how many say and believe that they are "good Christians" who never seem to have gottn the whole point of what Christ taught. Among other things you will find Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." (It's also in Deuteronomy for the Old testament followers. I suspect Paul found it there and repeated it.)
People should do at least minimal research before posting fake "facts". One of the first mass shootings of the modern era was from the UT clock tower. There have been many since.
I live within sight of the oldest and at one time the largest windfarm in California. There was a time a few years ago when permitting concerns resulted in a lot of failed, rusting, very old windmills as they were too old and inefficient to be worth fixing but could not be replaced. Then the largest owner and the company that was developing the nextgen turbines went belly-up. The result was a lot of ugly, rusting windmills dotting the hills.
Today those issues are resolved. Almost all of the old units have been replaced, towers and all, with modern, high efficiency windmills that use longer blades and turn much more slowly, resulting a a reduction in bird kills. (The numbers of bird kills is in dispute, so the reduction is very hard to quantify.)
I might add that most of the land where these windmills are located is in hilly areas that have never been farmed and are normally only used for some grazing in the spring when the grass is rapidly growing.
While many SF works have affected me significantly (1984, Stranger in a Strange Land, Fahrenheit 451, etc), no single story has had the impact of Harlan's "Deathbird". It is a strange story that starts with the note that the chapters may be read in any order. While this may be generally true, the last chapter must be the last chapter and is really not true at all as the ordering of often almost unrelated vignettes is not random. It just seems that way. It is not a happy story as it tells about the end of the world.. a bleak, if merciful one.
How can this have impacted you? Time-Warner spun off Time-Warner Cable years ago and it was purchased by Charter and is now called Spectrum. Or does Time-Warner own another ISP I am not aware of?
TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. 1 was my go-to reference, but you might need a less technical reference. The late Richard Stevens did an amazing job of making the tricky issues of TCP/IP implementation and analysis clear.
You might look at the existing Internet BCP (Best Common Practice) docs at IETF. After 6 years of retirement I'm just not sure what is there any longer other than BCP38 which was VERY important to people at network providers and pretty irrelevant to most everyone else. It is still too often ignored. (I was at a very high-end provider with a 100 Gbps national backbone when I retired.)
No, TCP/IP is not working fine. It's broken and is costing you performance and $$$. But it is not evident because TCP/IP is very good about dealing with broken networks, like yours.
Th problem is that doing this requires things like packet fragmentation which greatly increases router CPU load and reduces the maximum PPS of your network as well s resulting in dropped packets requiring re-transmission and may also result in widow collapse fallowed with slow-start, though rapid recovery mitigates much of this, it's still not free.
It's another example of security by stupidity which seldom provides security, but always buys added cost.
Key escrow does not make you more vulnerable to a 3rd party. Sure, you're at risk from the 2nd party (government). But it in no way weakens the encryption algorithm. And the key storage would be as secure as the primary key storage you're currently using, so there is no additional vulnerability there either.
A basic axiom of physical security is that if the value of something exceeds the value of stealing it, your security is inadequate. Security is a constant battle to find "cheaper" ways to steal the item vs. making safes that are harder from which to extract valuables.
If keys are held in any secure place, whether in single key (really, really stupid) or a number of keys, their value is nearly immeasurable, especially as they are not physical items. That makes their theft quite possibly undetected. The money that might be stolen and quickly laundered and hidden would be vast. The security implications of the theft of state secrets might be even more costly. And you can be sure that several state operators would be willing to pay a huge price for it. many trade secrets would be under similar attack.
... Do you want your health insurance provider to know how often you stop at McDonalds?
Hey, I stop at McDonald's almost every time I take bike ride. That's usally 3-4 stops a week. I get all the iced tea I want for $1 and no fat or calories. (Well, maybe one or two from the lemon juice I squeeze into it.) With the temperature at 98F (36C) today, I drank quite a bit of tea for my $1 and my insurer would think it's great. Just don't eat anything there!
And, FWIW, the term "edge" has been standard networking jargon for decades... all the way back to the old ARPANET.
The ruling was clear that it was based on federal law making corporations "people" and that congress was free to modify that law. Until then, corporations are, when not exempted by law, people and, as such, have the same rights to freedom of speech as individuals.
Nothing in the constitution deals with corporations in any way. They exist only as congress has decreed and are a legal means of creating a synthetic person for legal purposes.

Always wished I could win a Mighty Marvel No-Prize when I was MUCH younger. Would definitely have been on my resume if I had succeeded.

That that is also sort of irrelevant since Texas is not an open-carry state.
You're absolutely right.
Businesses should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want with no one ever holding them accountable.

Looks like a typo. I'm currently running mate-1.22 and it's rather old. What version is it actually running?

This was talked and commented to death 15-20 years ago. Let it go!!
