Space isn't an empty vacuum, but that's tangential. The expansion in this context is metric explanation, which just means things are getting further and further apart between two points due to space "expanding" between non-gravitationally bound objects. The explanation for "why" is sort of "we don't know". AFAIK, the leading theory is a combination of momentum / inertia from the big bang and acceleration from dark energy. Which we also don't know a lot about.
One of my CS professors had us writing papers, and we got extra points if it was in comic sans. I had to specifically install a ms fonts package for it. Ever since I've liked it, but don't actually use it. I think the whole thing surrounding comic sans is incredibly strange and I'm pretty sure I'm missing some context or something.
Unless you're just hiring people for the sake of employment to do things that don't need done. I've read China's housing market is in a bit of a pickle due to this. Course they also apparently have really clean streets.
Maybe google just licensed or asked to use it as a part of an undefined April fools joke, and she / they assumed Google wouldn't do something irresponsible?
Almost certainly not. Most likely no one in the world has that capability, at least as far as I can tell. It would be extremely surprising if any government somehow broke AES without researchers around the world figuring it out within the same general time-frame given some new advancement.
If you start a graph at like 50 on the y axis it's easy to make data look more pronounced. The official graph showed they dropped to "zero", presumably a bigger difference than 50%. Like it would look like the line dropped to zero, but really the graph started higher than zero on the y axis to begin with.
Yeah, foam doesn't really "soundproof" anything. Foam is normally for sound treatment, so you get less interference when making music for mixing / mastering / recording purposes. You need extra drywall / more insulation / sheetrock / mass loaded vinyl / wall decoupling to actually block sound.
The distinction is important because people in government and people in corporations usually have different motives than people in general. (Particularly people in leadership roles within these org's)
That's the problem, where is the line? Because there barely seems to be one. Shuffle a few laws around and whoops, authoritarians in power have infrastructure to do as they please.
They may not "have everyone's data", but they have data on most Americans in one form or another. Presumably pretty extensive data. You can claim the NSA has data on the majority of people and still recognize the FBI doesn't need to have access to the drives of whatever mobile devices they are able to convince a judge to let them into.
I wonder if it's a matter of apathy or if they genuinely like that idea. Most people I talk to about this say "I don't even want to know" or "who cares". They just find the whole thing difficult or painful to even consider as they're so attached to the technology as it is. They don't want to do anything differently when it comes to privacy.
Too simplistic, regional arrangements don't necessarily mean everyone in said community follows the ideology of that group. Moving outside of the realm of abstracted ideological thought experiments is kind of a difficult thing. So how do you handle folks breaking your version of human rights in separate groups? Just ignore it? How's that much different from nation states?
I'm just kinda reflecting what I read about a book called "bullshit jobs", where he gives examples like telemarketing and a lot of paper pushing admin positions. Basically anything that society as a whole wouldn't notice disappearing. I've heard criticisms like there's less bullshit jobs than he says there is, but still.
What if the value to someone is keeping people busy and thus not challenging the status quo? Or what if the job is useless to society but still makes some money?
Ya, but we don't even know if the racial disparity and gender disparity are affected by the same factors. I'm not arguing they don't exist I'm arguing for comprehensive evaluation instead of assumptions based on incomplete information. We can do better than a survey.
I'm not really trying to make a judgement on the moral aspects, I'm just a fan of accurately representing the situation. What if a disproportionate amount of the applications are from women? That'd be a societal thing and not necessarily the direct fault of hiring managers. There are a lot of important factors that need sussed out to make good decisions here.
OK, but like 63% of the U.S consists of whites. If it were an even distribution it would be disproportionate. Whites are somewhat over represented based on your numbers, but not as much as you seem to imply.
My kneejerk reaction to this is to panic about the opposite of what the concern here seems to be. Seems to me like ubiquitous surveillance via any and all available technology is a bigger threat than "going dark" would be. I know encryption can provide an obstacle for law enforcement but my inclination is to worry about privacy in society over potential lawbreakers.
That's anecdotal at best. According to a good deal I've read, the "new generation" actually does have quite a few problems previous generations never had to deal with. My father was able to buy his parents house after a few years of work. Anecdotally, I've been working full time and going to school and I can't even put much of a dent in my loans. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/01/09/the_mos...
In most places it's much easier to get some heroin than psychedelics, in some places about as easy as getting weed. There are delivery services in major cities. People don't see its ubiquity but from personal experience, it's there.
Eh, I work in the service sector and when everyone was bumped to 9/hr I got bumped to 10. It wasn't a 1 to 1 bump but only like 2 people complained. Not sure how financially viable this is for other companies, but we're a median sized grocery chain. At any rate isn't it a little weird that it feels so bad that other people start at a higher rate than I did? Kinda like how some people have rich parents and others don't... Maybe there's a comparison here. Course if prices adjust this is null, but I don't think small min. wage bumps will cause prices to adjust.
