I have a computer I have been unsuccessfully trying to not be updated for years because every time it does it causes grief. I was always quite annoyed that they force the updates. Good riddance to updates.

AT&T has more than cell service, and some of those services have separate record systems. Over the years I have used AT&T for cell, tv and internet. For each one, I had a unique e-mail that only that service was provided. The e-mails I used for tv and internet showed up in the breach, the one for cell service did not.

As far as SSNs, they used to use them to verify credit worthiness. They may not use that method anymore.

I would guess that the city offers some sort of tax incentive to the company and that they were leveraging against that.

I would also guess that the primary purpose was to be at a public forum to get attention (which they did). Thought that does make me very suspicious as to the timing of when they were fired. That feels very staged.

While we understand what they are trying to convey, technically, shrinking by -7.3% is the same as an increase of 7.3%.

Still waiting for Apple to bring back Touch ID. I have negative interest in Face ID and it has kept me from getting the Pro. Keeps me on the cheaper iPhone as well.

It's not a trap, it's propaganda.

They know exactly where it is, but they are trying to convince our adversaries that the stealth tech is that good. And convince the public it is worth the price tag and issues.

Ocean Acidification is already a known issue (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Foceanservice.noaa.gov%2Ffacts%2Facidification.html%23%3A~%3Atext%3DOcean%2520acidification%2520refers%2520to%2520a%2CCO2)%20from%20the%20atmosphere).

So. Yeah. As a scientist, I would have to say it is already researched. They can try to look at ways to bind/reformulate carbon in the ocean so it is not acidic, but it would also have to come with a breakdown analysis to make sure that compound doesn't just naturally revert to a simpler form.

What I find disturbing is how 200 is somehow considered a significant enough sampling of the scientific community to be taken seriously. We are talking a fraction of a percent. But I guess that is the level of scientific scrutiny they are looking for.

Please tell me they test all of their visuals for motion effects on the audience. I can only imagine the horror of being in such a crowd if everyone starts puking.

A bunch of comments berating this comment for not knowing that they had rescinded the Facebook account requirement seem to be under the impression that is the commenters responsibility to repeatedly check in to see if the requirement has been subtly dropped after being alienated. If Meta wants to get those potential customers back, they need to make the effort to make it known, loudly. But they don't want to be obvious about it because that would let more people know it is optional. Meta instead relies on people trying to shame those people into not knowing every changing detail about a product that Meta alienated them from.

Or...

As a result of these systems, the servers no longer have to deal with people who insist they can customize the menu. And no longer have to deal with people who blame their mistake ordering on the server mishearing them. Or having to deal with someone snapping their fingers at them because they want attention... now.

The ordering process is only a percentage of one's interaction with a server. And while I can see the potential for abuses, it also removes a lot of the toxicity servers can be exposed to.

I agree. There is a lot of money at stake here. I would want a financials check on the board members prior to allowing this to proceed.

The short time period of the analysis is problematic. Especially when that span covers such a significant global event. While the data does show a trend, one has to ask if there might be other mitigating factors. Might the drop in physical releases be due to less people doing things in person, delays in releases due to disruptions in manufacturing, etc. Might the jump in digital releases be due to people having lost jobs venturing out to make games. The analysis would be better served if it included additional years. The failure to include earlier years triggers my concern that those years might not have supported their assertion, so they left them out.

What this article and many proponents fail to acknowledge is how this type of project significantly impacts the ability to monitor and maintain theses canals. It makes inspecting the canals more difficult and what would normally be a simple patch repair becomes a much more involved operation. Having extra water doesn't help if you can't move it anymore.

I'm not saying don't do it, but the impacts need to also be quantified and discussed.

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Most people don't fly for entertainment. It is usually due to need. I can still enjoy a concert, even if I can't see everything. And I actually have enough room until the person in front of me reclines (the airline gives another person the option to take away my needed space).

If seats had always been that way, I might agree, but this has changed since I first started flying, and while I now expect it, when I first came across the issue, it was a shock. They never warned me about the change and discovering the issue for the first time on a 10-hour flight was not pleasant for me or the person in front of me. And even now, the issue varies even with the same airline. I have to go to third party sites to see if there is enough legroom because they deliberately withhold that information. If they were transparent about it, I could use that information to choose between airlines. It's why, if I have the choice, I use Southwest.
