Presumably the IDF had a high degree of confidence only Hezbollah members would be carrying the targeted pagers (with unique digital IDs) on their person in the middle of the day.
Why would you presume this? Because they are the 'good guys'?
Not sure I understand either, they say this is about "inclusivity" then mention women mentioning family but if you aren't sexist and are inclusive, a man will be glad to take care of the kids during the week-end when the woman attends the conference. Anyway, not sure I understand either, maybe they are referring to same sex women couples? The world is getting to complicated for me to understand I guess, then you have families where parents are alternate genders etc.
Unfortunately most of the world is sexist and isn't inclusive. Even in the places in 'the west' that claim they aren't sexist and are inclusive, most of the actual childrearing work is done by women.
It seems like used a lot of custom parts and offered service under warranty. The custom parts were too expensive for them to make a decent profit margin and so unreliable that their service costs rocketed.
Allegedly.
The linked article suggests that they have thought of this. The first sentence of the article reads, "giving every young person in the country €20,000 (£17,000) to be spent on study, training or setting up a business once they reach the age of 18."
I guess they left that out of the summary for clickbait.
Microsoft is buying a video game company. Is video gaming some kind of crucial industry that the government needs to be involved in? Why should they care about "World of Warcraft" or "Call of Duty" or whatever?
To protect consumers from monopolies with higher prices and less choice. Almost every country has competition watchdogs.
Well paid, I mean, played, sony.
Why pick which corporate behemoth to white knight? More competition is generally good for customers. The UK competition watchdog will probably roll over in the end. But this ruling seems a good one to me.
It appears that some people fundamentally don't 'get' crypto-currency.
Honestly, I think it is you that doesn't get crypto-currency. It is a successful get-rich quick scheme for a small number, a questionable and maybe failed, get-rich scheme for many and a multi-million dollar scam opportunity for a tiny number. The whole decentralized, autonomous, mathematical stuff is just the marketing for the investment / ponzi / scam.
>> a document reportedly produced by British spy agency
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??
I means that the document appears to be produced by a British spy agency, specifically GCHQ, but this cannot be verified with certainly.
>>A follow-up by the BBC indicated that the document was legitimate
Who is following up on the BBC to see if *they're* legitimate, Or are we supposed to take this government media arm at face value now?
Everyone needs to make their own assessment of the accuracy of news outlets. I see no reason to doubt the BBC on this claim i.e. that GCHQ didn't explicitly deny the document.
I'm not really sure what point you are making. Why would the BBC lie about this technical and, to my mind, plausible report?
IMO, there's not enough samples to produce this study. The rate of use of marijuana while driving is still statistically -- and radically -- low. As use becomes normalized (in other words, accepted), you'll see abuse while driving to increase as well.
But, let's say what this is really trying to do: push the Legalization activist agenda. Sorry, pot is as much a drug as meth. So is alcohol. It's disappointing to see my tax money going to support the use of either.
So you don't agree with the conclusions or methodology of a study the results of which don't fit your political agenda.
What the hell is up with the title of this article? Nowhere did I find any indication of anyone being "scared" or "frightened."
The threat that the article explains is that cheaper, better batteries makes going off-grid easier. Of course, electricity utilities aren't going to release a press release stating that they 'are afraid of this new technology and will try to kill it'! You may have doubts about how much of a threat batteries are to electricity companies and how that potential loss compares with the gain from electric cars, but the article is clear on the risks, in my opinion.
