That said, the actual article doesn't have a question. But they've been saying "Fusion is Just Around the Corner" since I was a kid so a solid "No" is probably applicable.
That often happens rapidly, and in many cases putting the Alzheimer's patient in full-time care is the only option -- even with a caring, involved spouse.
I watched my grandfather go from a slightly forgetful goof to confused, violent, and impossible to manage in <3 years. My grandmother, not doing so well herself, struggled to keep up but after a couple years putting grandpa in a facility was the only real tenable option.
What would this offer that a well-backed-up N++ doc doesn't? Sell me.
Also didn't realize he sold the Acadami/Xe/Blackwater group, and is now beholden to Hong Kong financiers:
> Prince sold Blackwater in 2010 after it was hit with a string of lawsuits. He is currently executive deputy chairman of Frontier Services Group, which provides integrated security, logistics and insurance services in frontier markets and is backed by Hong Kong investor Chun Shun Ko and China’s CITIC Group.

Due to an amendment in December 2018 of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act in Japan, certain gaming-related activities and services have now been declared illegal. This includes:
- Distribution of tools and programs for modifying game saves
- Selling product keys and serials online without the software maker's permission
- Game save and console modding services
As such, sales of products such as Pro Action Replay and Cybergadget's "Save editor" have been discontinued.
Here is a (Japanese language) page describing the new restrictions:

As well as a general news article on the topic:
In the future, our enemies will be Anonymous GANs, or GANNONs
For a while, that was true.
Now 95% of my work is webex or hangouts or go2meeting, etc. If I need physical goods somewhere quickly then flying is a must, but doing business across the wire is much easier.
Forreal. As someone in Canada watching the weed thing play out, my prediction is that Cali would legalize and then utterly dominate.
Like the medical and recreational stuff is there, the weather is great for growing stuff, including weed, and with 40 million people -- more than all of Canada -- there is a huge base of investment capital and consumers to pull from.
Why isn't California DOMINATING the global weed trade?
Firefighters have above-average rates of cancer, including lung cancer. This suggests that inhaling lots of smoke from ANYTHING on the regular isn't good for you. Example: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cancer/cancer-biggest-killer-...
Same general idea as the Old-Money Boston-Brahmin or NYC types, just with better marketing.
Man, this, 100%. We have solid communication as a team, lots of slack or hangouts/webex/skype/go2meeting/whatever, but no one really interacts in a social sense. All communications feel like talking to a customer, and there is a constant CYA vibe that makes routine questions feel like walking on eggshells.
HR meanwhile keeps blasting us with emails about the Ugly Sweater parties or bake-offs in the HQ office that doesn't apply to any of the technical teams. Only reinforces the disjointed feeling, tbh.
...but ended up creating 2 accounts for businesses in ~2015-2016.
Still on linkedin, reddit, HN, twitter, and tumblr. No whatapp or insta.
That is just simply not true. The largest part of the US budget is ~1.25 trillion USD spent on Social Security and Unemployment, after that it's ~1 trillion on Medicare & Medicade, and ~600 billion on Defense.
Make no mistake the US spends wayyyy too much on the military, but it's not #1
To speak to the parent's points -- WW1 happened and the League of Nations failed to prevent an even worse conflagration.
Say what you will about US v USSR, or the post-Cold War US hegemony, there has been no WWIII.
If your hours + declared tips were less than minimum wage then they had to pay you minimum wage. That only happened at one large chain I worked at but not at the local, one-off places. Tips were large enough on weekends that it didn't matter much, or at least not enough to risk your job complaining.
The locally run bars I worked at didn't care about tip ratios, but the corporate chains expected you to average 18% tips and would penalize you if you were pulling less than 13% for several weeks -- cuz it either meant you were absolutely terrible at your job, or else you were lying.

Alcohol is tied, heavily, to crime. As much as 70% for domestic abuse issues, and closer to 30-40% for fatal accidents, assaults, etc. The stats below are from the 90s, but a similar, if slightly lower, correlation is still true in more recent statistics [2]
> "A discussion of the sources of data on alcohol and crime encompasses the National Crime Victimization Survey; the Uniform Crime Reporting Program; the National Incident-Based Reporting Program; surveys of probationers, jail, and prison inmates; censuses of prisons and jails; and the Fatal Accident Reporting System. Regarding the role of alcohol in crime victimization, approximately 3 million violent crimes occur each year in which victims perceive the offender to have been drinking at the time of the offense. Two-thirds of victims who suffered violence by an intimate reported that alcohol had been a factor. For about 1 in 5 violent victimizations that involved perceived alcohol use by the offender, victims also reported they believed the offender to have been using drugs as well. Approximately half the incidents described by the investigating officer as alcohol-related were between offenders and victims who were intimates. Data show that approximately 7 out of 10 alcohol-involved incidents of violence occurred in a residence. Among the data on drunk-driving arrests and fatal accidents are the number of such arrests. A trend analysis shows that over the last decade rates of intoxication in fatal accidents have declined across every age group. Data on the use of alcohol by convicted offenders show that among the 5.3 million convicted offenders under the jurisdiction of corrections agencies in 1996, nearly 2 million (36 percent) were estimated to have been drinking at the time of the offense. Alcohol use at the time of the offense was commonly found among those convicted of public-order crimes. "[1]

But it's a hard diet to maintain, both in terms of managing cravings and consumption, and also because we put carbs (corn syrup, et al) into bloody everything. I found cheese/yougart, ketchup, and salad dressings to be the worst offenders.
Hell, you can make a prima facie argument that this is totally true just by looking at the massive riots happening all across France.

Donald Trump, if his public finances are to be believed, would have roughly the same net worth had he just invested the money his dad gave him in mutual funds. Instead he managed to create a series of failing companies and questionable ties... but managed to live the high life and stamp his name on bloody everything.
