Did you set up a local cached copy of Google Maps too? The last time I was at my doctor's office, the nurse pulled up traffic information to make sure there was adequate travel time between the appointments she was setting up for that same day. Another time was when my mother didn't remember the exact doctor's name she had seen at another hospital, but a quick Google search by the nurse cleared up that question in a few seconds. A third time was when my mom brought medication she had been using in France without the actual box with the scientific names on it. Once again, a quick google search clarified what the active ingredient was in that medication and the American doctor was able to make his own recommendation.

I can only assume that's because they were never given internet access at their practice in the first place, or that when they have a question that requires the internet, they just use their own private smartphone to google for an answer.

They seem to know a lot about these guys.

After all, corporate secrets can be sold for competitive advantages, for financially scamming those institutions or their clients, for embarrassing those institutions targeted, and/or for blackmailing purposes. The fact that they know it's for gaming the stock market implies that they have some evidence of that.

A punitive action can be about deterrence, protection, reparation, rehabilitation, and/or possibly vengeance. Even if we can all agree that "vengeance" shouldn't be a factor in sentencing someone, there is really no objective criterion for it that we could all possibly agree on.

Exceptions? Germany is between so many countries, many foreigners drive through it all the time. Also, the cars that can't keep up with the high speed just have to stay on the right side with the slow trucks. That's what I did when I drove a vastly underpowered car through Germany.

In any case, it wouldn't hurt to experiment with the speed limit in a few select locations. Let's base our laws on actual measurements, not half-baked stereotypes.

Sensors can be, and will be, disabled if the players think it's in their short-term self-interest to do so.

Just see how the workers at Fukushima did that themselves with the tacit endorsement of management.

A far simpler and more effective solution would be to have high school players just play flag football.

That would get rid of 90% of serious injuries at least.

Taxi companies do not need an app to set up the fare in advance, because technically, unlike Uber or Lyft, they're allowed to pick up anyone who waves them down. Also when medallions are scarce, that means there is an over-abundance of customers and an under-supply of taxis.

By over-abundance of customers, I mean that it's usually impossible to catch a cab during peak hours unless you're a super model, or you're coming out of a four star Hilton. An app wouldn't solve that problem for taxi companies, because their taxis are usually full during those times.

Then, good for you, you're probably part of the overwhelming majority. You probably live or work in a city where public transportation goes everywhere, or where at the very least parking is cheap and plentiful. In other words, a medallion where you live probably costs nothing and cabs are easy to catch during peak hours (not that you'd ever need to catch one).

For the rest of us however, probably a minority, we actually need services like Uber and Lyft.

May be for the average Joe, but not for commercial truck drivers in California.

My neighbor for instance, had to trade-in his newer 18 wheeler truck for a refurbished older model in order to save on the huge upgrade cost of complying with the new Californian emissions standard. That combined with the higher fuel costs (at the time) did not make him a happy camper.

Record the drone with your cell phone camera. Call the cops. Tell them you have a peeping Tom using a drone to peep through your second story window.

Cops like drones. They also like to confiscate things. Not to mention, anything they confiscate under forfeiture law, they can resell to their fellow cops at auction for super cheap. So in the end, it's a win / win for everybody. A cop gets a $300 drone for $5 at auction. You get your privacy restored. The police department gets an extra $5 for its pizza fund. And the original owner of the drone is made to understand he's very lucky not to have been arrested and charged for a being a peeping Tom.

That is an oversimplification. There are also people who like to keep tools at their workstation overnight for the convenience, or people who replace tools at a slightly different place where they were originally found, or people who loan out tools they borrowed to another technician/person who might need those tools also.

Even if we assume that you have an OCD employee in category 3 who always replaces a tool at the exact location he found it in -- the minute he no longer needs the tool. I can guarantee you that this same employee is already much more pissed off at not being able to find the right tool he needs when he goes looking for it (because someone else hasn't returned it yet).

Also, it's not just a question of inventory control. It's also a question of inventory maintenance. When a tool is signed out to someone, and let's say that tool breaks, or is used up, as part of its normal lifespan, then the best person to order a replacement of that tool is the last person who used it.

If you're designing new drone prototypes, then yes, they can be weak. That is what experimentation is all about.

But then again, this place will be equipped with a wind tunnel and those can simulate very high winds if required.

A story on the same blog posted 4 days ago shows that HSBC's corporate banking site was jsut blocked because the CDN Akamai got blocked. Apparently, "HSBC uses Akamai as part of the secure login system for clients".

What the blog doesn't say however is that many corporations in China are already paying for proxies outside of China that they access through VPNs, so as to circumvent China's great firewall. And that HSBC probably scrambled to remove the login dependency on Akamai as soon as it received customer complaints about the problem. So I can't say what the economic impact is going to be, but companies are certainly trying to mitigate the effect this has on them and route around the problem.

Also note that Akamai's CDN is also used as a big ad-delivery network, so the economic impact notwithstanding, most Chinese users are now browsing the internet without seeing ads, which for once translates into a much more positive experience for users in China. And the only problem there is that this blockage of internet ads probably won't last very long, because advertising companies will do everything in their power to fix the problem and circumvent Akamai.

Using that word "sluts" to call those women says a lot more about you than it says about me. I assume this means you were raised in a place where most of the people around you still hold puritanical beliefs.

My personal problem with the non-condom related rape allegations is that the women continued their relationships with Julian Assange and even bragged publicly about having sex with Julian Assange.

Now granted, I'm not opposed to reclassifying the legal definition of rape to make it slightly broader than it is currently being enforced, and I'm not opposed to going after those perpetrators internationally through extradition treaties, but my problem comes from the fact that Julian Assange seems to be treated very uniquely in this regard and I just can't accept this as being a random coincidence.

Had Julian Assange not faced this threat from being imprisoned in a US gulag for his entire life, or worse, you and I both know that he would have just gone back to Sweden and been exonerated (fairly or unfairly, but that would have been the outcome for sure). I've been to Sweden and I can promise you it's not the feminist utopia you think that it is.

Diaphragm was actually the word I was looking for.

If allegedly lying about wearing a condom counts as rape after the fact and justifies extradition, then we should designate all women, who ever allegedly lied about not wearing a female condom, or who allegedly lied about being on birth control, as rapists as well. After all, it works both ways.

I guess we'll have to wait until a woman republishes embarrassing US State secrets for that to happen.

Amazon allows you to sell a book for one penny and then make your profit on the shipping charge. For all you know, the buyers were doing the same with PS4s and reselling them at cost + shipping. It's probably a great way to get raving 5 stars reviews from your customers. Also since the customers are locked into the shipping charge with the PS4 itself, you could probably upsell them on extra PS4 cables and extra PS4 accessories at a real monster's premium.
