Well, from a practical perspective, if you have no operations in or other ties to a country, you are not subject to their laws. US-centric sites ignoring GDPR compliance would be one such example.

Even that would be hard to use in real life, as an "out of office message" does not mean that their colleagues can't easily reach them. If you're some outsider you don't know if that person is really unreachable or

All that new construction is constructed to the appropriate seismic standards and they've been doing a good amount to strengthen other infrastructure. They could do more, of course. https://www.pdxmonthly.com/articles

This is very much a college by college thing. Where I did my CS degree, any student in the major was always going to be able to get their core courses on a proper schedule that allowed for on-time graduation. Sometimes that meant the colleg

And people who would do that are a tiny rounding error in comparison to the general market. For 99%+ of the general market, if the update is not available by clicking update in their phone, it doesn't exist and end of support is when

The side effects of many of the medications can be quite harsh and severely affect your mental state when they don't agree with you. The most obvious example of such would be the significant number of people who experience suicidal ide

The study notes a high attrition rate (~45% of those who started this dropped out), and this appears to be a voluntary endeavor. This is significant to me, as I suspect many of the people with anxiety that is significant enough to be diagno

The article points to less easily faked data to indicate the slowdown, not the official statistics that are widely known to have a tenuous relationship with reality.

I'll note that skiers seem have a much easier time learning to handle difficult terrain/higher typical skill cap in that area. I don't see many boarders who can handle mogul fields without looking miserable. Likewise, when yo

PATH's infrastructure is mechanically sound and improving. I would not be concerned about it following in the MTA's tracks in the signal delay/equipment failure sense. Overcrowding is certainly an issue and while I know there

Not really something this dataset (which is just about # of deaths + drug that caused them) can tell you. I'd imagine you'd need some sort of formal study of the data to try to assign why deaths are starting to decline/platea

It's looking like it's peaked, 2018 data is still provisional, but is currently expected to show a modest decline after the final numbers are in. 11/30 article on topic: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business

You are correct that it would be bad to do so to an extreme, but what the poster describes doing doesn't seem like much of an impediment to living a full life other than maybe the fasting if they're being extreme about it.

It's arguably not a model that has actually worked out very well for Canada. They push a significant portion of their air travelers over the US border for much cheaper flights. And they wind up with fewer flights and worse route option

I don't think that it needs the qualification. You're looking at it as either/or. It's unfortunate that there's a decline in the lifestyle choices that will offer you opportunities and much of a future. In the past,

I'll warn that that advice is like "get a therapist". They're weakly regulated/certified titles, and there are many people calling themselves as such offering terrible advice and plans. I don't think they'

I think your whole tangent here is drastically missing the mark, though. The individual concert-goers didn't know there'd be far more people than expected and that local infrastructure and the organizer would be overwhelmed. They

The rich can afford expensive lawyers who require an airtight case to prosecute successfully. They also violate the law in much more convoluted schemes that require a lot of work to be able to piece together a case that a jury will understa

One small note: Every single OEM sends out refurb'd major components, that is not a behavior unique to Apple.

They're currently running a pilot with a couple models on extending repair services to vintage models in all areas, not just the handful of places where it's required by law. Assuming that is continued/expanded in the future,

It's like most things, buy the literal cheapest item you can and it'll probably be shit. Buy something in the lower middle of the price range and it'll probably serve you well for most uses. With bikes, that's probably $

That's mostly a function of the general slowdown in the hardware cycle (for most applications). I have both a Mac and a PC laptop of that vintage and they're both still perfectly suitable for anything short of current gaming or ot

Low volume manufacturers are exempt from a lot of regulations from what I know. So there'll probably always be a space for someone to make a low-tech car, just not to sell it by the hundreds of thousands.

Not so much at the high end (dev/engineer), though. Those $150k US salaries are also going to include generous health plans with little cost to the employee at most employers.

They can be repaired in the sense that everything in them can be replaced. However they've integrated a lot of components so a lot of things that would traditionally be able to be replaced individually can't be. You basically have

Not the OP, but the "standard" electrical connection in a metal shop is usually 480v 3-phase, most tools are going to use that.
