What are they starting to do that is shady and why do you think don’t respect privacy? (I couldn’t see anything on the document you mentioned)

Yes, many. In most cases a trained doctor has a moral, and maybe contractual, responsibility to help some one, not a legal one. There is no law that says ‘you are trained doctor, you have to help fix this broken leg’. Now if you egregiously refuse the various medical licensing authorities might take a dim view and you might loose your license to practice, but that’s not the same as breaking the law

Why?

I’m confident it’s not 1 in 3 customers, rather “most customers who are also young women”. You should be able to order a pizza without being hit on, especially as they now have your contact details

It’s a beautifully paced cartoon, shame to loose the other two panels

A brave woman doing her very best in very difficult circumstances

I nearly threw out a pixel 3 thinking the usb c port had worn out- in fact it had just got gummed up with fluff. A quick dig around with a pin (no shorting risk - checked) got it all and restored the port. Phone still going strong, but I do need to that about once a year

It’s about the market I’m afraid - someone with the attributes necessary to be an effective politician is likely to be able to use those skills to get a top management job in a big company and earn > 200k easily. If the gap between that and the politicians salary is too great then the only people who become politicians will have other strong other motives, which may be noble, but are often narcissistic or corrupt.

Not a good summary

Because it’s reassigning someone’s gender - e.g. making a female body look more like a man’s. We don’t have the technology to change someone’s biological sex, but we can help them by giving them a body that more closely resembles their gender identity.

Madness!

I have family members who suffer from several mental health issues - depression, anxiety and related. They have all found exercise helpful. Doesn’t really matter what kind- yoga, cross fit, swimming, running - just establish a routine, do it a few times a week. It made a big difference for them (or going for a walk - what ever works for your fitness/health level)

I’ve had the same experience - make sure they don’t get hot (or are rated for it)

If you’re using a webpage JavaScript can see your mouse cursor and anything you type. But only if the browser has focus. So if you’re typing in another window it can’t

Agreed- the series is massively overrated

Points for reading!

Except, it seems, in Brazil. You learn something new every day

And some times people die because of it. What a world

Agreed - though does the topless thing happen a lot in Oregon? Just asking for a friend

I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. I hope you’re not. The fact that you’ve made two scientifically verifiable errors, gender = sex, and asserted it’s only a binary scale, suggests to me you’re not, in which case you should rethink joking about this - not everyone will get it.

Rich people don’t like wars or climate change, they like stability and maintaining the status quo

Very informative- thank you

Thank you for the perspective - I’d never have guessed.

Night’s Dawn Trilogy, Peter F Hamilton. Better than his later stuff in my opinion

Jagged Alliance 3 - very good sequel to JA2, more of the same with enough tweaks to make it fun and the campaign has thrown enough curve balls to keep me interested. Like the original it doesn’t hold your hand, which is good. Strongly recommend if you liked the original

Yes, it’s good. If you liked JA2 you’ll like this.

I’m sorry you haven’t met one (or recognised it when you did). They exist

Just not helping

Right click Onedrive Icon, settings, sync and backup, Manage Backup, turn off what ever you don't want backed up. At that point all your desktop / document content will disappear (looks like Microsoft linked the normal and Onedrive folders, which is a useful trick occasionally) so move everything out of Onedrive back into your normal folders

Trickle down is complete BS and the many ways to avoid wealth taxes are part of the problem with them. You need to properly tax income and capital gains and close as many of the loopholes around each as possible. Then add a proper estate tax as well to reduce inter generational wealth

I think that’s exactly how it’s going to work - you can’t force all ‘fake’ sources to have signatures- it’s too easy to make one without one for malicious reasons. Instead you have to create trusted sources of real images. Much easier and more secure

Starfield - the first game I’ve felt really excited about for a while. I’m assuming it’ll support mods as well, so will basically last forever too

Completely agree!

Also require greater transparency around money movement and proper auditing. Governments need to spend more on auditing.

Rather sadly the only things that have ever significantly reduced wealth inequality are wars, revolutions and plague. All of these affect poor people much worse than rich people. If you’re interested in making people’s life better it’s most effective to work on policies that make the worst off better off (like immigration and trade)

WH40K Rogue Trader. It’s pretty good if you like that kind of thing. ‘Campaign’ bit of the campaign is significantly better that WOTR in my opinion

Exactly - it’s the calibre and competence - and implicit in your comment is the idea the person from India isn’t as good. This isn’t my experience- I know plenty of amazing engineers from India. And it’s not outsourcing if they’re employed by the company- it’s just the job currently done by you.

It’s not outsourcing if they’re employed by your company, just remote working - they’ll be the employee and the company can care for them as much. They’ll just be more productive because of lower cost of living where they happen to live. If your job can be done fine 100% why would they ever change it back? Remote working isn’t the same as insource/outsource

And that creates a loophole that is trivially easy to exploit, which is the problem. I simply wrap up any asset I want to hold onto into a fund or trust that stops me doing the above…
