They're all entertainers. I don't see the difference except Taylor Swift has a day job.

I thought the same as you, but it seems it's not so bad. You can vote after a felony sentence in the US, but maybe not right away and sometimes you have to settle court fines first.

Guns take longer and maybe never if your crime was violent or involved gun laws.

For passports, it seems most certain to be a no if your crime involved trafficking, smuggling, or anything to do with another country.

I think this guy can expect these rights restored after his sentence. But you're still right that the conviction will likely be a continuing problem in other ways. I doubt he could be hired as CPA or anywhere else involving confidential records.

500 million tweets per day in 2013 So, yeah, that's only 10,000 per minute per moderator for an 8 hour shift. I've doomscrolled pretty hard, but not that hard.

What my boomer dad doesn't get is that so much of corporate enterprise, like even the thing they are ideally making or doing in the world, not just the working conditions or profit sharing, is not unquestionably good for us. He's an engineer from a time when it looked like technology would save the world. My zoomer kid feels conflicted just starting a hobby thinking of the consumption and waste it requires. If they could believe the companies they work for shared their values I think it would go a long way, but i don't see that happening very quickly.

I'm reading this right now on pixel with latest play services update and have no problems using the phone. I'm not saying no one is having problems, but I wonder what the statistics are.

A better article that links to the law and a more extreme alternative law yet to be debated. Also, I believe it has only passed the house, so if you have sometime to say to your state senator, say it.

I don't know, but last month three people in my family, including one who is on immuno blockers, caught swine flu from 2009 (verified by PCR) and did have cold-like symptoms, but no hospitalization or other complications and no longer than a week. We got it tested because one sick person is non verbal and has a history of pneumonia, so whenever she gets a bad cough I take her to have someone listen to her lungs and this time they opted to test for the strain. I kind of wish we could do that more often as it's very interesting to know and see these things come around. They all had this year's flu vaccine, which every year includes some h1n1 variant, as had everyone else in the house who didn't get sick at all. So anecdotally and unscientifically, I would say Spanish flu is not a threat, especially if you've been getting flu vaccines every year.

long blurry clip, but same basic message

I think it's not cool unless it's funny. I'm trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don't even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.

Pump up the volume? If a school principal is a rich person.

I think Mauritius' flag 🇲🇺 is the closest. I could learn to see it as a pride flag.

I think what we lack is the understanding that just knowing the right thing to do doesn't make it happen, individually or collectively. Because if you look at any of the issues we face you can find people talking about it a hundred, three hundred, a thousand years ago, but it's like the solutions only get traction under some special lightning in a bottle circumstances. So you have to keep up the consciousness and the effort and especially creative inspiring things, and know that the failures are to be expected and the successes are so rare they need to be celebrated even when they are imperfect.

I don't understand how this is even in play. I thought the point of immunity was to prevent active members of government being arrested or prevented from doing their duty by minor or spurious charges while in office. The example was a congressman being pulled over on his way to an important vote. Trump doesn't have any duties anymore. The nation doesn't give a shit if he's in court or prison or whatever, so why should he be immune to anything? Now seems the perfect time to find out exactly what he's done.

Apart from that, it looks like they tried to park the garage in the garage

In a practical sense, I can tell you that in mobile apps, some parts of gdpr are implemented based on phone language settings or in the case of websites, the domain suffix of the page (.fr or .de, etc). I'm guessing this is an interpretation of the section described here:

strong indications that a non-EU business is intentionally offering goods or services to data subjects in the EU and may therefore be subject to the GDPR:

• Use of the language of an EU Member State (if the language is different than the language of the business’ home state);4
• Use of the currency of an EU Member State (if the currency is different than the currency of the business’ home state);
• Use of a top-level domain name of an EU Member State;
• Mentions of customers based in an EU Member State; or
• Targeted advertising to consumers in an EU Member State.

Most people seem to be leaning toward just applying them to anyone as that's the way things are headed and once you've figure out how to do it technically it's easier to just do it all the same way. Also, the EU is doing it's best to set precedent for a broad interpretation.

That looks cuter than our experience. Got a mini cat to be "friends" with our original cat and had to give it to a neighbor after two weeks of non stop fights and peeing on things.

Yeah, I would count that as ready to math in real time. I don't trust myself to do much in my head anymore.

Can you be fined for underage drinking in another country when you return to the US? Is this kind of law valid that things you do in another jurisdiction where they are legal can be prosecuted at home? I'm really curious.

I've heard complaints of senior software engineers who, though they do all carry calculators in their pockets and even usually have laptops open in front of them in the meetings, avoid doing math of any kind (simple order of magnitude multiplication, for example) in front of other people. Which makes group decision-making super obtuse.

So, maybe there is something for teachers to do along the lines of let's get confident and quick at doing this math however you want to do it. I hope things are changing in this direction.
