Maybe it was a joke that someone used back when she started the job 50 years ago. I could see it being a metaphor for something like the stone tablets that ancient texts were written on…or if she started more recently than that (or the company adopted computers by then), it could refer to information that wasn’t digital.
Donate to companies like Planned Parenthood who help women access resources for reproductive health and services.
Something like the Internet Archive would also be incredibly important for preserving what politicians and organizations have said (so that they can’t claim they didn’t say something and try to have it erased off the internet).
If money isn’t your strong suit, then I don’t know – I’m not American. But I’ll still comment for the above, and to hopefully help boost this post.
They get a lot of workers from places like Indonesia
I think the issue is that most people live in cities, where populations tend to me more diverse. Then most polls probably also end up disproportionately asking cityfolk. So the polls ask people who live in areas with disproportionate numbers of immigrants (relative to non-urban parts of the country), and they forget how many non-immigrants are outside the cities.
You could have a list of Harris’ lies.
No one could compile a list of Trump’s lies. It’d be much more reasonable to compile a list of truths he’s said.
Man, I wonder how many people answering this question “need to” have coffee every morning
Fun, sure, but not an experiment that would actually be meaningful.
The data from your phone’s microphone doesn’t magically appear in Google’s advertising servers. It would have to go through a lot of steps before it gets there, and one of the first steps is in your home (if you’re on WiFi). One can analyze the traffic/data that leaves their phone.
It’s good to be cautious, but worrying about your phone’s microphone is potentially like worrying about your windows while leaving your front door open.
Yet again, someone mistakes an anecdote for evidence. And evidence is also not the plural form of anecdote.
I’m sure we have people here who are tech-savvy enough to have actually examined the kinds of data that their phone is sharing.
If you have something like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, then yeah, those would be sending voice data back, and yeah, they could probably use it for advertising. But as far as I know, there is no evidence that phones are “always listening” and “always sending information back” when they’re idle.
Haha thanks for taking it in good spirits!
Eating a room sounds expensive. Not just in terms of the materials required, but also paying for the aftermath.
There are a lot more poor people than there are rich people. It’s a game of numbers, and a slight increase on the middle class would often bring in more money than a substantial increase on the top percent.
Rich people also have a lot more loopholes they can abuse to pay less in taxes. Closing these loopholes could also potentially/occasionally disproportionately hurt lower or middle class people. They are possible to close, but (A) there’s always more to find, and (B) lobbying means there could be political incentives to not close them.
There’s also the arguments about raising taxes leading to innovation stagnating, or rich people moving to countries with lower tax rates. I’m not sure how much I buy those arguments.
That said, I’m not condoning these. In my country, I think we need to introduce more tax brackets. A doctor making less than $300,000/yr shouldn’t be in the same tax bracket as a CEO making an over $800,000/yr salary before bonuses. But they are in the same tax bracket. That doesn’t feel right to me.
Then it’d just look like a generic building or something! Haha
If that one person dies, then there’s no one with a stake in enforcing the copyright.
9 years also seems really short. There are sequels that come out far more than 9 years after the original work.
So if you want the copyright of a work to expire, you need to arrange for the death of the sole copyright holder
A collection of humans could form a company for ease of managing and sharing the copyright.
“oh, I think my dad’s old computer had a hard drive. I’ve got an SSD in mine, I think, but I just put everything in cloud storage.”
“To make it more modern, we could make the save icon a CD!”
What’s a CD? Oh, wait, that looks like…do you mean a Blu-Ray? Nobody uses Blu-Rays anymore.
When did this tempature based popularity start?
It’s been cool for a long time
I recently had someone explain to me what “And that’s where I came in” meant.
I expect to explain to people why we say “roll down the window”, or what the save icon is, lol
Yeah, I think it’s the really the Gambler’s Fallacy, even if OP doesn’t describe gambling. It’s the idea of “It’s my turn for success to come soon – I’m due for my turn!”
