SSNs are no longer distributed in that fashion. They are randomly assigned since 2011. But they also weren't sequential. They were divided up by regions and doled out to more local areas.

I've read plenty of documents from lawyers I don't pay that were not trying to influence or scare me. It would be really strange to assume their documents were. And when it comes to interpreting legal documents (what is being disc

That starts off with "I'm not a lawyer". So as much as people think they understand it, lawyers have to read the actual text of the entire license and interpret what could happen in a court case. With the vagueness of the l

No it may not be legal. If you continually follow someone, silent or not, it could cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety or to experience emotional distress. There is nuance to this, but just the act of continually following so

My school had donated Apple computers. Edit: And they apparently are even today: https://www.apple.com/connectED/index.html "We’ve donated an iPad to every student, a Mac and iPad to every teacher, and an Apple TV

The no-wifi seems to just be the kickstarter. When I ordered mine a little while back, they had an option for wifi (extra $8-$10, as I recall). I haven't received it yet...so not sure if it actually does.

This goes both ways. Numerous people (companies?) have setup arbitrage businesses. They post products on Amazon at a markup over Walmart and vice-versa. They leverage the APIs to dynamically adjust their prices based on how the prices move

It appears you may not have read the bill either. It does not prevent sexual education to kids (if it stated that, it wouldn't have been that overly controversial). But that isn't what it says. It states it prohibits "discuss

Have you gone through TurboTax's filing process? It starts with ~$149 upgrade for me, I believe. They have countless add-ons that popup throughout the filing process beyond just that (annual audit defense membership, get your refund fa

If we are throwing around anecdotes. I grew up in an east coast city run by the exact opposite politicians and policies you are complaining about. The crime rates and safety in that city was far worse than Seattle's numbers. Even today

> The reality of the world is that a big power gets to dicate what smaller countries can do around them. I don't like that either, but that's how it is and you can find multiple examples of that in the world throughout history.

It is a strange equivalence you are trying to build here. But to answer you directly: the people responsible for the sanctions are the people that enforced them. Full stop. Just like Russia is responsible for attacking and committing war cr

So nothing in your examples justifies an invasion of another country (and coincidentally, leaves out all the acts of aggression by Russia). This feels a lot like the "she shouldn't have worn that" arguments. You appear to fee

I'm really confused on what you are trying to make a point on. Your statement was NATO should have not allowed Ukraine membership based on the threats from Russia of war. NATO did not allow Ukraine membership and even stated as much th

On both my Windows laptop (Ryzen 7 + 1080Ti) and Windows Desktop (Ryzen 9 + dual RX 5700 XT) machines, it is really slow. Dragging windows is unbearable and the other apps are quite laggy (such as switching views in the "media" ap

An opposite statement can be said with the same amount of authority though: There is a common perception that companies only create policies we don't like through accidents and unforeseeable outcomes, not by specifically crafting polic

Google still exists. Facebook still exists. Meta/Alphabet are mainly holding companies. For example, I received reach outs from recruiters for Google and Facebook today. Not from Meta and Alphabet. Maybe once Meta and Alphabet deliver

You'd be amazed how much cheaper it is to have a human do it than pay for automation. But also, law/contract required the data to be accurate (so there were 3 people, at minimum, entering the exact same data and records would be f

I did data entry for a job. In my experience, the numpad was considerably faster and accurate. It has been a long time, but I recall it cutting down entry time by ~5-6x (yes, I finished my daily quota in about an hour or two, instead of all

The actual infraction isn't that important (I just interpreted they meant some infraction), but what is important is that they stated the foul happened after the interception, so it could not be OPI, as that must occur after the QB t

by somethingwitty1 5y ago
I understand what you are trying to get at, but the holding you described occurred after the interception (the turnover). So Team B can accept the penalty and would still have the ball. A slight change of ordering makes your point. Team A d

That wasn't a "coin" in the context of this discussion. As the wiki correctly points out, it was a gift card, nothing more. It couldn't gain or lose value. It was tied to a specific dollar amount.

I'd be curious if it depends on when you purchased the shield. I just tried this on my older shield reverting/disabling worked, but my newer one does not.

No unfortunately that may not work. Even if you revert all updates, the old launcher now has the ad. It appears they are doing this from their service side somehow. I removed all updates and disabled updates, but it didn't work. Mine r

Data? There have been really flawed studies to bash video game playing (just like there was for playing chess...look it up), but I've yet to see any that withstand scrutiny.

No one. They were using an example to demonstrate why you can't compare these numbers. There is missing data.

Uninstalling didn't seem to work for me after reboot. If that doesn't work for you, try disabling it: 1. Install your new launcher through play store. (I used the Basic Launcher as well). 2. Settings -> Device Preferences ->

It looks like some of the core parts aren't closed source (but definitely not open source). For example: https://github.com/WickrInc/wickr-crypto-c
