I have worked with or know senior people who have no need to use email directly. It doesn't surprise me that a senior cabinet level person would have assistants manage their email.

Work to protect my assets from Medicaid.

And these companies provide good jobs to Indian citizens. However once you start fining them the cost advantage of operating in India evaporates.

Google is generally considered to be the most desirable employer in India.

> It is difficult to see what specifically Indian interests are at stake here.

It's the Willie Sutton effect.

Elon Musk = D.D. Harriman, only with bigger dreams.

And not a fictional character.

Huh? The authors of the creation story surely knew how long a day is.

You could not know before the sun was created unless you were God and had a good idea what you were going to implement, but afterwards, not a problem to figure out how long a day was.

Except they did pass a law restricting exports of unrefined oil.

What they should have included in the law is a restriction of anything except finished products.

Dammit Congress.

What is disturbing about the bill is that it applies to women and children only. It does not protect skirt wearing men. The Scottish Clans protest!

Free? Have you seen our defense budget? Spent mostly to defend our trading partners.....

> What's the gain for Ireland?

Seems like they get to host $9B. Now consider the mechanics of fractional reserve banking.....

Normally you address this sort of stuff by locking down the user's desktop.

In some cases you need to know everything that is going out the door. For example if your company is the target of industrial espionage the last thing you want is your trade secrets going out through your firewall.

I would expect a lot of companies are doing this along with other similar measures.

And if I'm not vaccinated because I can't be vaccinated?

Then, somewhat obviously, an exception must be made for you. The same is true for children with a family history of adverse reactions to certain vaccines.

Herd immunity is not overly compromised by the few exceptional cases where vaccines ought not be administered. It is compromised by the viral spread of "popular knowledge."

If you're vaccinated, it's not going to affect you.

In our valley a daughter of vaccination sceptics (i.e. she was un-vaccinated) contracted Whooping cough. She then passed the disease onto a vaccinated child at school.

Given that vaccines cannot confer immunity in 100% of cases, and given that people are not always in the state of health required for their "immunity" to fight off an infection, herd immunity remains a major factor the effectiveness of vaccination.

When you decide not to vaccinate your child, you are making health decisions (potentially life and death decisions) for other children as well.

I think I see why you're confused. The curse was an effective way to kick off the revolt, yes. Not any way to start an earthquake, though. Reality doesn't work that way.
