A very interesting way to use the word ghetto. I even had to google just to make sure that it wasn't an obscure academic term, that the author wasn't using ghetto in its slang form for an article headline for a Forbes blog.
Think of it this way, a CPA audit is like using a condom
that you poked with a needle.
In theory, it’ll protect you from most of your problems, but not really.
This also had to be one of the worst analogies I've ever read in regards to the purpose of public accounting and audits. Audits are not to prevent fraud -- they are to detect fraud and also give assurance. It is not a condom, it is more like a medical check-up so you can tell the world that you are healthy.
I think this is definitely not a good first impression of Google Wallet. It was my first time using Google Wallet and I think it was for many others as well.
Nope, “witch” can apply to men just as well as women and always has. In fact, you’ll find several dictionaries citing Malory’s “Le Morte d’Arthur” (1485) as an early usage, where Merlin is referred to by some as a “wytche”.
It’s also the standard academic term across gender. If memory serves, it’s used this way in the groundbreaking study “Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande” by E. E. Pritchard, which set the standard for the anthropology of witchcraft.
It’s also used for a man in the television show “Futurama”, for a more contemporary colloquial reference.
Self identification is a ridiculous concept if it's not based on fact. They put people in the nut house for proclaiming they're a farm animal or Teddy Roosevelt.
Phobia? Hardly. You don't call an ftp client and ssh client do you? Likewise you would and should never call a man a woman, unless you're tying to insult him and vice versa. It's called logic and not some ridiculous concept of accepting a mental disorder as something to be celebrated.
Actually, It's called not knowing what the fuck you're talking about
The logical thing to do would be to educate yourself.
P.S. trans people's brains objectively show non expected neural activation. And this is just one of the many ways for people to understand trans. It's a real thing and you need to EDUCATE YOURSELF instead of acting like bill oreilly. Ignorant asshole.
It's what's called a defect such as when a system doesn't perform as expected. Sorry. No amount of emotionally supported bullshit is going to change facts.
No. Males are witches as well, Warlock translates to oath breaker, and is not considered with the pagan community (at least the parts with which I have interacted) as a male term for witch.
Yes and it's the 50th most common surname in China, the Chinese word for spirit/god, a character in a pletora of other popular games and fiction, etc etc. Got any other random associations to share with us?
In my google search for 'shen', the language homepage is on 4. position. That's pretty well for an obscure programming language imho. LoL character has 2 results and one video in the first page, so it's not really overpowering other Shens.
Errr, in the search I just did it's #3. But I guarantee you that has a lot more to do with Google's knowledge of what I search for and am (potentially) interested in than anything else.
As a result of Swartz's conspiracy to release JSTOR articles to the public, it led to the company making many articles free for public for viewing. A lot of good has come about from what Swartz did, even if the morality of his illegal actions are under dispute. There has been a lot of recent criticism against academic journals and their publishing companies whose business model is keeping all science and research behind gated walls and away from the public. Even if the research was funded with public money!
They've decided to make pre-1923 articles from American journals, and pre-1870 articles elsewhere, available publicly (w/o any subscription or even a free account needed): http://about.jstor.org/service/early-journal-content-0
Their original FAQ on it used to have a question about whether this was related to the "Swartz situation", where the answer could be paraphrased as "no but sort of yes", basically that they had been planning it all along but may have moved up some initiatives in response to the publicity. Doesn't seem that their current FAQ has that question anymore.
Why does it take a story to make it to front page Hacker News to get attention, to get a "direct channel" to the executives when things go wrong? It ignores the all the horrible complaints and stories from everybody else. It's inequity in itself when the only way you will get attention from big companies is from making posts on Hacker News.
Why are they not paying attention to their other day-to-day customers? What kind of business do you intend on building?
It seems Google is trying to break into the consumer hardware space to compete against Apple -- Chromebox + Chromebook + Nexus (and likely Motorola developments)... I'm not sure how I feel given they haven't been blockbuster successes thus far.
See http://coralcdn.org/ - they provided a caching mechanism that I've been using for what seems like a decade or so - you add .nyud.net to the domain part of the URL and you get their cached copy. Hence, this provides a short term mirror of the OP's link:
"Because of unsustainable subscription prices and conditions, the board of directors of the mathematics department has voted to cancel all of its subscriptions to Elsevier journals by 2013."
