Agree. And if there are different modes that a single tech can run in, make it as compatible as possible but make those modes transparent as the thunderbolt designation did successfully.
Great. Guess we can stop worrying about this then.
You are giving a super sketchy gambling company the benefit of the doubt here? I wouldn't be surprised if their PR people are specifically told to use the word fraction because of the implied double meaning but protective legal veil that it might provide. And everyone knows that this is how pay for play apps work. You aim for mass distribution and hope you get even just three or four suckers like the saps here spending $150k on the app. This is no secret. Between 2 and 20 million people in the US alone have gambling habits or tendencies. You get a few hundred thousand players, you're going to capture a "fraction" of serious gambling problems. It's slimy as hell.
thought about this long and hard and I can't think of anything that could possibly go wrong with this. let's move forward.
Stolen? Does science want those ideas back?
Keep your eyes out for the Lorax - when someone sees that guy I'm really worried.
The standing bear is eating the child. The expected blood and gore is not really Larson's style.
It's confusing because the infection caused by the Corona virus is referred to as the "Kung-Flu"
and everything to do with war. war on drugs.
What's worse than dumb and evil?
Just evil.
Against it here and believe you should be too. Unintended consequences are indeed a law like the law of gravity. Going to happen, going to be bad. It's not the only problem - it's the problem and it's significant enough that it warrants noting giving this stuff a meh, shoulder shrug, figure it out later kind of attitude. Be against it.
that's how long it took for someone to hand them one.
Agree, but how turn-key is your system? I'm not aware of major vendors that are interested in helping / making that sort of system anywhere near as straight-forward as a Nest cam for example. What kind of setup are you using specifically?
This is a much much more appropriate headline.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
