The appearance of nepotism.
Nicholas Coppola got cast by his uncle, when any random 15 year old aspiring actor would never stand a chance.
He then changes his name so that other people in Hollywood will (hopefully) not say “oh he got that part because he’s Coppola’s nephew,” even if he absolutely got that job because he’s Coppola’s nephew.
Hey, the Outer Worlds was not “two bit.”
Mulch the rich. They make better fertilizer than food.
If the Swiss government told this magazine about rejecting Palantir, it seems like Palantir should sue the Swiss government because they are the source of the narrative.
Woman: I keep getting catcalled on the street and it’s disturbing my sense of safety.
OpenStars: stop going outside, easy.
Knowing that these sites are bad and the algorithm is part of that doesn’t make “just don’t use those sites” a viable option when most or all of someone’s peers are also using them. That is part of the social media companies’ strategy, to make switching costs so high no one leaves.
Notably there have been almost zero data breaches of large banks, because their requirements for security are significantly higher than most other companies. My original comment was not about banks, they obviously need to retain a lot of customer data, and most of that is not exposed to the internet at all. I was talking about things like a pizza shop or an online retailer. There’s no need for Burger King or a webcomic artist I’m buying a print from to have a login or my email address for longer than it takes me to get my items.
Tax records don’t have to include the customer if it’s retail. If that was a requirement cash businesses would have massive problems, and the rule of keeping those records for seven years significantly predates our current model of credit for everything.
Beyond that, if I go to a restaurant they don’t have my name and address or any other information. Businesses need to keep records like “we bought x from y for $z,” and “we sold x to a for $b.”
And even further, the government could clarify that (if in some countries customer data was part of tax data) that the law was now to protect customer privacy and data.
It’s time for tzatziki sauce on everything
The EU GDPR doesn’t go nearly far enough.
If I order online, my data only needs to be retained until I get my item. A electronic receipt can be sent via email.
Social networks should have human moderation, and not insist on retaining real-world data about users.
These things could be accomplished through regulation, and if enough countries (or US states) put those regulations in place it will eventually be more cost-effective for companies to implement the changes globally.
For decent folks that’s a distinction without a difference. Or at least it can be treated as one. I don’t give a fuck if someone is genuinely a holocaust denier, or if they’re just being “edgy,” either way they’re a piece of shit.
MRIs work because strong enough magnetic fields will interact with any material, not just ferrous metals. This can be impacted by the structure said materials form (stents are a weave like a finger trap and therefore more prone to interaction with magnetic fields than say a solid cylinder) but I’d be inclined to say your friend was lucky. Ball bearings like in the OP are nearly always steel outside of specific high end applications and therefore would behave like they were coming out of a shotgun shell.
I was told that because I have stents (plastic coated with platinum) I can never get an MRI again by my cardiologist.
A friend who makes knives felt the little bits of metal that he’s picked up in his skin over years of grinding blades getting pulled out of him during an MRI.
Maybe aluminum foil in your pocket would only “interfere with the scan,” but those magnets are powerful enough to make any metal in your body come out, violently.
The FBI knew the identities of all the bombers who bombed black churches in Mississippi in the sixties and didn’t say a word until they needed to pressure a guy about another investigation. I am completely unsurprised they sat on suspicions about Les Werner for decades.
The thing they are tracking is primarily money. If people are playing games they already own and spending money on crypto chasing a big win, that speaks more to increased economic desperation than loss of interest in video games.
This is the kind of thing that makes me feel like punitive tattoos should be a thing. The first time this guy left a woman on the top of a mountain he should have gotten that tattooed on his forehead.
Because it’s South Carolina, where the conception of children as property of their parents is maybe more deeply embedded than anywhere else.
Family of Secrets is such a goddamned mindfuck. That plus Chaos (about the ties between MKULTRA and Charles Manson) made my summer a few years back real freaky.
Politico is owned by Axel Springer, a conservative media holding company. Of course they’re going to normalize trump’s lunacy as “joking.”
“No raises this year, gentlemen. And ladies. But hey, PIZZA PARTY!!”
