If the major media outlets were in the tank for Clinton then they wouldn't have spent so much time on lead stories about her emails, rehashing the scandal over and over and over again constantly. They wouldn't have spent hours talking about her feinting spell, they wouldn't have spent time on the Clinton Foundation...and yet they did.
You're either ignorant or lying about the joke involving gang rape.
This is the joke..."One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez."
The joke was meant to be about Palin's 18 year old daughter, a spokesperson of sorts for teen abstinence and ironically a teenage mother at 18. Palin's younger 14 year old daughter had attended a Yankees game earlier that day or week and the writers mixed up which daughter it was that was there. The joke was not particularly well written but the punchline is that A-rod is so virile that he can make women pregnant just by attending the game - since the abstinence preacher surely wouldn't be having more pre-marital sex.
Tell me how rate hikes are somehow the fault of the legislation and not pure greed on behalf of the insurance companies?
Insurance companies got the biggest handout in their industry's lifetime (Obamacare requiring everyone to carry insurance) and yet they're still raising premiums at a 5% rate year over year.
Now, you might ask, what's the point of suing a fake defendant (to the extent that some of these defendants are indeed fake)? How can anyone get any real money from a fake defendant? How can anyone order a fake defendant to obey a real injunction? The answer is that Google and various other Internet platforms have a policy: They won't take down material (or, in Google's case, remove it from Google indexes) just because someone says it's defamatory. Understandable -- why would these companies want to adjudicate such factual disputes? But if they see a court order that declares that some material is defamatory, they tend to take down or deindex the material, relying on the court's decision. Yet the trouble is that these Internet platforms can't really know if the injunction was issued against the actual author of the supposed defamation -- or against a real person at all.
Remember back in '92 when Perot got 19% of the popular vote and everything changed?
Yeah, me neither...because nothing changed about the party system then and it won't now either.
I won't be voting for either major party candidate (or Gary Johnson) simply because I refuse to lend voting support to any of them - vote your conscience. If you actually agree with Gary Johnson, then vote for him. If you actually support Hillary, vote for her.
I'm going to call BS here. Folders DO exist as object in Drive, they're technically just specialized files with a mime type of application/vnd.google-apps.folder. Every file in Drive has parent(s) - which are either a folder or the drive root. It is very easy to walk the folder object hierarchy listing what files were in each folder and report on the sizes. Just using the public REST API I could write a script to do this in a few minutes, it's not going to be the fastest thing in the word, but it's not hard to implement. There's no way Google couldn't easily do this.
There's a weak argument to be made that since files can technically belong to several folders that telling you how much data is in one folder and you added all your folder sizes together that they wouldn't match your total drive usage (your total usage may be smaller).
It's special largely because of all the possibilities for integration into it with their SDK's and the automation you can very easily add into it that will allow you to build and execute all sorts of custom commands from the interface.
The custom commands are pretty much just HTTPS requests (POST or GET) to any http endpoint, so the possibilities are pretty much endless what you can do with that.
So it's not just a chat platform (though plenty of people use it solely for that), the real value is in it's dead simple integrations you can build with it.
I'm sure there's like 5 other platforms that do something similar but Slack got the investment dollars so that's why it's popular.
In this case, the saying definitely applies...there are a LOT of people who have no business creating code for important production systems doing so.
As scary as it is, there's a non-insignificant portion of workers actively creating software, often connected directly to the web, who have no idea what a SQL Injection is, nor why you need to worry about one.
Asking about what a SQL Injection is is one of my standard interview questions, you'd be shocked at the number of people who don't have a clue, even those who are interviewing for a senior position. Not really related, but I'm also shocked by the number of people who don't understand what an Outer Join is.
How about when Trump said on air in a Fox "interview" that we should attack terrorist's families, which would constitute a war crime.
I've worked in the Supply Chain / Shipping world for over 10 years now and have seen incidents like this multiple times.
One of the more memorable ones was where someone in the container yard in China was breaking into the containers and skimming product from the cartons inside the containers. In order to try and go undetected they were peeling off the carton labels that were printed out from our tracking system and reprinting the labels from a local device to reflect the new unit counts after they stole several items from each carton.
We ended up finding out about this because when the goods were received at the customer's distribution center they were complaining that they were scanning the same carton into their receiving system over and over again. Turned out that the guys printing the labels got the quantities right and the carton numbers correct and aped the design fairly closely, but couldn't figure out how to adjust the barcode on the label so they were reprinting the same carton barcode number over and over.
Even after showing the customer the print logs of the actual labels that were printed from our system (and how the barcodes were not repeating there), and showing them the minor positioning difference in the labels and showing them the actual shipment amounts that should have been in the cartons they STILL claimed our system was printing labels wrong for months. They literally told us that thieves weren't sophisticated enough to do what we were telling them was happening. They finally believed us when they got a batch of cartons where the skimmers got lazy and just pasted their reprinted labels over top of ours.
I would like to have the ability to make my phone beep while on silent back so I can find the darned thing.
All Android phones have this. Yes, the phone still rings if the phone is on mute.
googlebot has actually been able to load and process javascript loaded content for quite a while. They've recently gotten really good at it too with the rise of angular and similar client frameworks.
It's a little more than that, but not much more. They're pushing this tool hard for some reason, there was even a mention in Wired about it.
Basically, it runs two codes paths A) Legacy Code Path B) Code path replacing A. and allows for some way of recording timings on the code paths and recording the return value (or catching errors). It's a nice tool to put in place when you want to try and replace some crufty code and try and make sure you're not going to end up hosing your system with the new code.
One HUGE gotcha with this tool is that the code paths under test must remain side-effect free. Which means it's useless for testing any code that modifies your databases or modifies anything at all in your system.
As a paying user of github, they have a valid point about the "me too"/"+1" type comments users are forced associated with issues they wish to see resolved (the other two points are kinda dumb).
There really should be a star'ing or upvoting system associated with them as a way of noting interest in an issue's resolution rather than forcing people to, essentially, spam the issue comments making them harder to track the procession of actual comments regarding the issue's resolution.
Add to this that most of the time comments on an issue are also being emailed to the assignee or the whole team it can be quite annoying.
That said, in the grand scheme of things, this is a minor annoyance and Github remains the best hosting service I've utilized.
