Sure, except this is the first time in my life I've seen the term "pulse" used for a vegetable. And, honestly, only in the last 10 years have I been hearing the term legume in common conversation. Grain is definitely the more common term.
Not who you are replying to, but I think mass surveillance is bad and evil, period. So, any person or company contributing toward mass surveillance is bad.
Most bad things have some good part you can point to. Mass surveillance and all of the other police and government aiding technologies usually point to improved conviction rates or something similar. But making police more efficient at convicting people isn't the only goal of society. That's only one part of what makes up a country and it's society. And, as the saying goes: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
I'm not exactly a windows lover, but what are you people doing to your windows installs to get so many notifications? I get nothing at boot and the only notifications I get are from when windows defender blocks something and I need to add an exclusion.
What edition are you using? The home edition straight-up has pop-up ads[1] for random Xbox games, even on a clean install with all notification settings turned off.
One time I had the misfortune of installing the free version of Driver Booster. After that I think I spent the following 15 minutes closing ads and uninstalling all the bloated apps it installed alongside it.
I actually thought it was a virus until I discovered people actually pay money for it.
That was really common back in the day. AdAware and SpyBot Seek and Destroy came around just to remove the junk that was bundled with other software we forgot to uncheck. You didn’t always want 32 browser toolbars you never asked for.
It was never part of the OS until these last few years.
void callNumber(string phoneNumber);
void associatePhoneNumber(string phoneNumber, Person person);
Person lookupPerson(string phoneNumber);
Provider getProvider(string phoneNumber);
I pass in "555;324+289G". Are you putting validation logic into all of those functions? You could have a validation function you write once and call in all of those functions, but why? Why not just parse the phone number into an already validated type and pass that around?
PhoneNumber PhoneNumber(string phoneNumber);
void callNumber(PhoneNumber phoneNumber);
void associatePhoneNumber(PhoneNumber phoneNumber, Person person);
Person lookupPerson(PhoneNumber phoneNumber);
Provider getProvider(PhoneNumber phoneNumber);
Put all of the validation logic into the type conversion function. Now you only need to validate once from string to PhoneNumber, and you can safely assume it's valid everywhere else.
The only time I ever hear something about vegans or crossfitters are from people complaining about them. Rarely to never do I hear something from them.
> In the context of investing there is a correct price for financial assets that is given by trading everything back to dollars in the present.
This doesn't make sense though. The only reason I would buy an investment is if I believe it will grow in value from the point that I bought it. That means I'm pricing it at its future ccost.obviously other people are doing the same, so the actual cost of the investment will always rise above current value if people believe its a good investment.
Take a person who has marginally acceptable eyesight, who never drives, put them in an emergency situation where they need to drive and you've got a recipe for much higher odds of having an accident.
Given that getting a license is an option, and it conveniently doubles as a photo ID, and there's really not a reason to not get one.
