The data that's available isn't the school, it's student data! The school left the students "cars unlocked" and no one holds them accountable. They just say that people shouldn't steal cars.

The media would have a field day and say that he hacked his school database. It's crazy how so many institutions are doing the digital equivalent of leaving an unlocked car in a bad neighbourhood and no one holds them accountable. Most people understand the concept of an unlocked car, not many understand that he didn't do anything special to hack his school db. He just strolled right in.

Is this in the US? The way you structure your writing makes me think you're not a native English speaker. What you could be describing is either a bias against hiring non-Americans (i.e. they should be cheap labour) or it's an issue from another country.

I'm actually on a final salary scheme but I'm only 33. If I stay in this job for a long time and work for promotions I could end up with a massive sum without even putting anything aside. If I also invest my money into the stock market then I'll be very well off in old age.

I'm Australian and my parents "retired" at 58. They're not quite on cruises and golf days but they're perfectly capable of work even now at 63 if they really wanted. They just don't want. Is it their fault or the governments?

With a blood infection, they won't send you home IIRC. They can be really serious.

I'm not sure, I'm not a doctor. A normal temperature reading isn't unusual after taking Panadol. I'm not going to the doctors for fun, I knew I was really sick.

Ok, thanks. I know nothing at all about Apple hardware. It's still a very daunting decision to make. I like the ability to buy my own hardware, for desktops, and to build what I like at a cheaper price. Apple charges a premium but now I have more of an idea of what that premium will get me.

It would be a huge migration for me. Everything I own is tied to one of a few Gmail accounts. My photo history, my uni work in GDrive, my contact lists, my email history, everything about my entire online identity. I'm just increasingly fed up with how Google approaches privacy.

I've been anti-Apple since I was a high school kid in the 90's. Those big colourful Mac's looked dumb. They're close to winning me over and I'm probably buying a new laptop within 12 months

Surely your parents also wanted to stop you falling in with "the wrong crowd"? I'd wager a lot of people in jail are good people who fell in with the wrong crowd.

I recall having really bad fevers. I'd taken some Panadol and gone to the doctors at work. When they measured my temperature it was at a low point and in the normal range. They ignored my description of how bad I felt and sent me home with a "if you're still sick tomorrow come back". I went home and continued to get worse and worse. I felt like absolute death. The next day I made it back to the doctors and when they took my temperature it was nearly 41 degrees. Turns out I had a blood infection and I had to be hospitalised and placed on IV antibiotics.

They based their initial "he's ok" on a single temperature check after I'd taken Panadol. I get it, when a doctor hears hooves they think horses. It's just frustrating.

If you're interested, the terminology is "independent" events, and you're correct.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that businesses have a legal business name that is registered when you register the business. If the name isn't an identifier then what is?

How is that shower legal in any sense? The "company" which did the work no longer gives a guarantee?

I feel you've made a huge blanket statement here. Militaries are one organisation where the rules have really sharp teeth and it works well enough. In fact, military organisations have had strong selection pressure applied to them over the past few thousand years and heavy-handed punishments are the norm.

Damn, I see my mum sharing all sorts of right-wing stuff on social media that is obviously fake news designed to spread virally. People are allowed to hold whatever political views they want, but the stuff she's sharing is obviously designed to enrage and cause itself to be spread.

Why should it be named uggstralian now? It's an offensive suggestion. Do you think generic American words,like Pickup truck or Hamburger, should be able to be trademarked and then America would need to change the word?

The makers of this game have said how much they despise the money grabbing tactics commonly used. The sequel has a retail price of $40 AUD and doesn't contain ANY pay to win.

It's not even closely related to any brand here. It's completely generic. Most of the time the ugg boots producers are really small businesses and you purchase locally made ones.

His use of loops just seems like an implementation of breaking a problem down into smaller components. If I wanted to learn to learn a difficult skill, such as writing a decent novel, I'd break it down as follows:

1) Research what skills I'll need to develop. At my current stage of learning I don't know what I don't know.

2) Figure out a path to start developing skills. This might be writing a small story every single day while also reading books/guides on how to develop as a writer. I'm still writing daily.

3) As I'm becoming mor comfortable writing anything I now need to develop skills on writing specific things. How do I flesh out a character, how do I describe settings, etc. I'm still writing daily.

4) Once I've figured out individual building blocks I'd then teach myself how to construct them together. What elements do stories contain? How do I flow between small sections to weave a larger tale? I'm still writing daily.

I'm sure as I become a more knowledgeable and skilled writer I'd identify other areas I need to work on, skills to develop, etc. It all comes down to identify small blocks and build from there.

Do most array structures have a pointer to last element? Or similarly useful do they track length?

I had CFS that originated as a post viral illness after Epstein Barr Virus. The kicker is that I was in the military when this happened. By Tuesday every week, after 2 PT sessions, I was on a downhill slope. If I did a third session on Wednesday it was likely I was spending 5-7 days in bed. I'd been hospitalised for exhaustion.

I had every medical test under the sun and everything came back negative except my recent markers for EPV. I was lucky, my OC signed off for me to not to exercise and I didn't do PT for 9 months. During this period my CFS very slowly got better and I appear to be mostly better now.

You don't want to get CFS while in Army

The people with this gene might sleep less but it doesn't really show what the long term health effects on the individuals are. 2 extra hours per day for life but dying 5 years earlier in your 80s might actually be a decent trade.

According to this link[1], you are off by a factor of 10. It lists France at 1692K barrels per day. I wanted to double check the figures because I know how much it costs to operate a car and it's not 1.2% of household.

One of the best things I ever did was stop caring what others think and become more disagreeable. It's sort of ironic that people didn't like the agreeable me (I assume too boring) but I'm far more liked as a disagreeable person. I may also be that I come across more honest when I tell people "no", or I contribute what my actual opinion is instead of whatever is easy.

IIRC there was a study posted to Hackernews about a week ago that showed that humans really prefer competent coworkers over nice ones.

The way I see is that he was the right person for a certain role at a certain company size in a certain time period. That isn't CEO of Microsoft in 2019 but he served his purpose and became really rich through it.

I'm a white Australian from a working class background and my perspective is that East and South-East Asians have integrated into Australian society very well. Even my most intolerant colleagues don't seem to notice that Asians aren't white. It's at the stage I won't be surprised if some of my children or grandchildren have a partly Asian background.

Those small cultural differences will vanish. I feel the days of Pauline Hanson warning of an Asian invasion are truly over here.

That seems really easy for MIT. I'm towards the end of my 2nd year at a regional university in Australia and nothing there seemed that bad.

You said you work for adtech, I'd just like to comment that I personally like targetted ads. Areas of my life have improved from targetted ads, I'm shown things I didn't even know I want until I've seen them, etc. I look at it as a positive.
