Sure. The real question is: what is the operating point (detection vs. false alarm, or false positives versus false negatives, or ...)?

I imagine that the cost of mailing out pregnancy coupons, both paper costs and PR, is low enough to tolerate a lot of bad guesses.

You think that text is more precise than voice for communicating ideas?

Riiiiiiiight.....

There's a "lite" version (also v2).

Do you both have rights to them? That's the whole point of the question: who "owns" the intentionally-shared "mutually"-created data?

And all those family photos on the media server connected to the TV...?

This implies that your spouse is OK with the idea of making these backups in the case of potential divorce.

Implying that it could/might happen is dangerous, my friend.

Profiling is only bad if it disproportionately targets particular groups or labels.

Shahidka are a vast minority of modern-day terrorists. That, plus there have been no reports or confirmed shahidka terrorist activities in the USA.

Is it too crazy to expect that sampling for security should match the actual observed distribution (with a uniform prior)?

Is this a bad thing? I mean, romanticize how you will, but is it really better to put human (or even robot) footprints on Mars than to push the telescope programs? 225,000,000 km or 2.25 x 10^20 km - we can't live there (yet).

Had to go with "housing" on this one.

After all, there are only so many video games one person can buy....

Paying twice as much now and the same later sounds better than normal now and 10x later.

You are going to be one of the few not screwed when the dinosaurs start running out. And they'll be closing those dirty plants down the way when coal is more expensive than gold. Isn't this still a good outcome long-term, even if it costs now?
