Ha, the Ferengi are never really an enemy. They just want that latinum.

All the letter said is that my sample was destroyed.

by mwilliaams 8y ago
That is correct. Of course even if the original sample was returned, a digital analysis of it could remain.

The Constitution mandates that people have the right to bear arms; it doesn't specify about concealed carry or open carry. Yet I, as a Californian, can do neither. Open carry is illegal in California, and only a small few can get a con

I can comment on this firsthand. I was born in a hospital here in California, so my DNA was collected. A couple years ago I heard about this program, which I believe to be a gross violation of privacy and overstepping of authority. I read s

I've been there so many times. Gets old real fast. Many people are simply incredulous that there isn't a "gmail" or "yahoo" etc in my email address.

I was able to obtain williams.blue and it's been pretty great so far. Ive experienced some slight misunderstanding, but its usually easily cleared up. Then there was the woman who heard "firstname@williams.blue. Yes it ends in .bl

I would say I'm in the middle. It depends on how unethical/bad the orders are.

They're just doing their job. It's company leadership that should be ashamed.

Oh that's cool, but I have an Android. GPS drains the battery.

I too choose privacy and battery life over the convenience of leaving location on all the time.

In short, lots of land and resources, and then coming out on top after both world wars.

I just want to add that the car doesn't totally lack hardware controls. There are some buttons and up/down sticks on the steering wheel.

Teslas get OTA updates, so I'm pretty sure they're always connected. A big downside in my opinion

Well, doctors are in charge of nurses. They have superior training. In increasing superiority, you have EMTs, then nurses, then doctors.

A logical and reasonable assumption, and I think probably mostly true, but still unproven.

You could use default parameters in this case. const add = (a, b=0) => {return a+b}

Parent comment said 1Gbit, not 1Gbyte. I too get about 15Mb/s

That is utterly incorrect. I get 15% of that under ideal circumstances.

I think you're missing the bigger picture. I think that for most of these politicians, it's really not about the issue itself (privacy in this case). It's about gaining power for your own party and removing power from the o

I think a lot of it is due to America being so litigious. Doctors and hospitals are afraid of being sued, so they need lots of insurance to protect them, and they order lots of arguably unnecessary tests to cover all their bases. This drive

Is there actually any use to discovering ever-larger prime numbers?

by mwilliaams 9y ago
That really only applies if you have a narrow view of which writers are journalists. Lots of people make stuff up.

Amazon is a lot more than a tech company. Supply chain workers are probably most of their employees. Google would be a better comparison. They have ~60,000.

It's not democratic. It's republican. Remember that America is a republic, not a democracy. Each state has 2 senators/electoral votes because this country was founded as the United States. It was supposed to be more of a coal

That's exactly the problem with politics in today's society. So many people are getting their information from places like Facebook, and much (most?) of this information is biased and/or less than factual. This causes people

Apple is probably going to kill the app. They probably just bought it for the tech.
