This might be a foolish question, but I was under the impression that if you had a strong pin/password and an encrypted device, there wasn't much they could do to get the data off the device, no? Won't modern phones (I have

Fake backup, not fake device. Specifically, I think they meant that you backup your device to the cloud, then wipe the device and restore using a backup of bogus stuff that they will believe is the real device. So you are taking your real

My thoughts exactly. We're skipping fake news v2 and going straight to 3.0. Fake news has just entered a rapid release schedule. Brace yourself.

This sounds like the description of a drug dealer.

Not sure I agree that "agreement on important issues" should be on the "things that don't matter" section. I know that stuff in particular matters big time to me, even just for friends. My closest friends tend to s

Exactly. That's the same mentality people have when someone solves a complex problem with a simple solution. E=mc^2...so obvious, duh! It's like saying that anything we can observe or intuitively know cannot possibly be accurate

Thank you so much for providing this comment. When I was done reading the original link I was wondering if I had missed the author's explanation as to what the alternative theory was. It seemed they were simply saying, "I don&#x

As a parent of a 3 year old, I haven't yet had to deal with this, but I have thought about it. My view is that a parent is supposed to protect and guide a child to prepare them for adulthood and being self-sufficient once they are of

The memory leaking is a legit issue. I've noticed the same thing. I can close a bunch of tabs and the memory usage will go down but not by anywhere near appropriate. After a long while (days), having just a small handful of tabs ope

It probably won't affect LinkedIn much, even if the courts were to rule strongly in favor of the plaintiff. Reason being is that this guy was using his work account, meaning he directly represented the company. If it was his personal

I didn't mean to imply people were rational. Not only are people frequently not rational, there is also an information asymmetry that is involved with most financial/legal/medical decisions that would make people elect choic

It's not vague anger in the least. From what I just looked up, it seems Canada has ~1.6T in total debt (federal and provincial levels of government) and around the same in GDP, which is better than the US because the US has more than

Unregulated free markets? The banking/loan industry is a heavily regulated industry in both Canada and the US. Yes, predatory lending exists and it may be immoral, but it still requires the other side to agree to it. And keep in mind

Actually, I think it is directly related to the cause of this middle class devastation. It's precisely on point.

" I don't understand how using a persons gender for gauging ability to cope with forceful men isn't sexist. " Yes! That's the entire point I am trying to make. You just said it in far less words.

by turc1656 9y ago
That's a fair enough point. I'll strengthen my position this way instead. Let's assume the definition is garbage and ignore it. Are stereotyping examples things that fall into the category of sexism? I think they absolutel

It may not be the fault of the people experiencing "adverse impacts", but they still make a choice on how to respond to them. The commenter claimed that women find it more difficult to respond in the same way as men. To me, that

Pulled a quick definition of sexism from the web (they all seems more or less the same - " prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex. " And the commenter said - " women often hav

by turc1656 9y ago
Nonsense. By your statement, the reason it disproportionately impacts women is not because of some rudimentary, fundamental reason but rather because they fail to react the same way the men did and speak up. That lies 100% on the women. I

by turc1656 9y ago
Not necessarily. Sure, all else being equal, then yes, I would agree. But I think the point being made here was that there was something different with the woman - specifically, that she is more introverted than the other panel members an

HAHAHA! This comment made my day. FWIW, I did have a great metabolic upgrade in 2013 and 2014. And it was done by cutting down on carbs and eating delicious foods like fatty chicken and beef, cheeses, etc, and cooking with lard whenever p

I realize you didn't intend this, but as I read what you wrote I can't help but take it as supporting my claim. What you said about the USPS is a perfect example of why the government frequently does a terrible job running operat

No, I don't expect the military to turn a profit because the military is not an entity that is expected to be self-sufficient. I included that wording specifically because it is key for the agency/entity being examined. I don&#x

Another thing I forgot to mention - if the expected value of a loan is 99 cents on the dollar, then this is a bad loan to make at the onset. It should never be made, and never would be in the private sector. The core function of the loan a

I have to agree with Marenkay. I left Facebook a long time ago and haven't missed it on bit. There was some minimal value, I suppose, in being able to have anyone contact me if they didn't have my email. And possibly organize i

Haha. I have to chuckle. I'm really curious why anyone would downvote this comment, unless of course they worked for Facebook.

That has not been debunked - I'd say the jury is still out, at best. Many of the studies that supposedly debunk this claim have issues like including suicides, cherry picking specific violent crimes and excluding others, not accountin
