Incorrect; you are confusing an insurrection with a revolution:

insurrection: noun: a violent uprising against an authority or government.
rebellion: noun: an act of violent or open resistance to an established government or ruler.
revolution: noun: a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.

An insurrection can lead to a revolution, as can a rebellion, but it's not a sufficient condition. Planned rioting with no political or social goals is insurrection. Unplanned rioting is not insurrection, it is merely rioting.

Given that these riots were planned via social media, they were insurrection; given that they were against authority, rather than an established government or ruler, they were NOT a rebellion.

You can be those things without rioting. They are not synonymous with "being an asshole", which is what rioting is all about. Wanton destruction of property achieves no reasonable political or social agenda, other than harming people already operating hand to mouth in cash flow businesses, and forcing them into poverty with you.

If you weren't "just being an asshole", you'd be rioting in areas where there would be a net political effect from the reaction in the desired direction. Directionless riots are closer in nature to the 9/11 attacks than they are the Boston Tea Party.

Sorry, that's not a "riot". If you organize it in a premeditated fashion, it's called "insurrection".

Mod parent up.

People stupid enough to riot definitely have it worse off than people smart enough to not riot. Because they're not only in poverty, they are also stupid.

They tend to be rather quickly destroyed by criminals so that there's no admissible record of their criminal activities.

It's easier to have a job (at least, in a manufacturing sector) when you don't approve the Trans Pacific Partnership, or ask for the ability to fast track it. IT's also easier to have a job when your government imposes tariffs on nations like China, based on environmental and labor standards that are enforced locally, such that it makes no sense to offshore the manufacturing sector in the first place.

That said, I think that most inner city teens wouldn't have jobs, even if that discrepancy were corrected, since the value of the labor of an inner city teen is less than the current minimum wage. So you'd hire someone whose labor is equal to or more valuable than the minimum wage for those jobs instead, like an out of work adult.

The article is not about *stopping* riots.... it's about *predicting* them, so you know where to set up the news vans, and you know where to go to be on camera so you can demonstrate that you are a "community leader".

If you actually *stopped* the riots, it'd be a hell of a slow news day, and you'd have to run human interest stories about the baby ducks who've infested some guys swimming pool, or stories about cats.

No. They shine through the pad of the fingertip to the blood vessels there. Otherwise they would not work on people wearing nail polish.

Maybe the paramedics should use a standard finger pulse-ox meter instead of an iWatch.

The iWatch is not a certified medical device. I am specifically talking about standard pulse ox on someone who has done something like this to their fingers:

If people are going to tattoo their wrists and faces, they are sure as hell going to do their fingers.

Thanks!

Brian Webb isn't listing this on his Vandenberg AFB Launch Schedule yet. I think he's going to wait until someone official tells him a date.

With some optimism that might only be thousands of years rather than hundreds of Millions.

But it's only necessary for Earth to be uninhabitable for a short time to end the Human race. And that can happen due to man or nature, today. If people aren't somewhere else during that process, that's the end.

You presume that Disney had only 125 total IT staff in the first place, and laid all of them off. From my reading of things, they laid off only the janitorial service type IT people, and kept the rest of them in house.

If you tattoo your fingers, it will interfere with pulse ox devices. This is well known in the medical community. They generally work around it by using a different model and clipping it to your ear, scrotum, or some other place that doesn't have ink.

If you have inked yourself all over, they insert an optical catheter to take the measurements directly, or resort to semi-frequent blood draws.

This is what you get when you integrate an off-the shelf medical sensor into a wearable device not intended or certified to do medical things, and then don't have alternatives when someone has managed to screw with the ability of the sensor to operate by decorating themselves like a Christmas tree.

Yeah, most capacitive coupling (read as "nearly any touch sensitive device") doesn't work with gloves, unless they are specially made.

It also doesn't work with artificial limbs, which I think is probably a more important issue.

You can modify an artificial limb pretty trivially to make it work, just as you can modify a glove pretty trivially to make it work. I helped someone modify their Boch's artificial arms to allow them to use the touchpad on their IBM Thinkpad (also capacitively coupled). I declined to patent the modifications, and instead disclosed them into the public domain.

How about "Emergency services personnel can't use a pulse oximetry device on your tattooed skin in order to save your life following a car accident"?

The device that's being interfered with is a pretty standard non-invasive pulse ox device that happens to be built into the watch.
