And my documents/presentations/spreadsheets are going to be cross-referenced with Linked-In? Sounds like a mechanism to put me one click away from accidentally sending sensitive info to someone working for a competitor.
Nothing about this sounds "delightful" to me. It sounds intrusive and risky.
> Great news unless you are living in a village near the tigers.
This fear that people have of nearby predators is, in fact, a real problem with conservation efforts to preserve those predators. David Quammen addresses this aspect of conservation in his book "Monster of God". He believes the fear of predators is more deep-seated in our psyche than most other fears.
I suspect your 100-250 number is high (perhaps way high?) but it only takes one in a village where everyone knows everyone to ratchet-up fear. If a neighbor kid were taken by a bear, I'd sure want the authorities to do something about that bear.
Just trying to figure out the circumstances where a bear could "take a child" that don't involve some serious negligence on whoever is supposed to be responsible for the kid. I grew up in a part of the US that is rife with bears and spent my childhood running around in wild areas with coyotes and rattlesnakes and never had any sorts of issues.
They have almost no reds which is the dominant power of the solar spectrum or any other black body. But aiui this discussion is about UV not IR and you can make LEDs with impressive UV output.
It certainly is the trend here in New England, where winters are reasonably harsh. And the new outdoor malls aren't very walkable, either. They're separate stores, or sometimes chunks of stores, that you almost have to drive between. With an Olive Garden or an Applebee's in the middle of the parking lot.
I see those in California too. I really don't understand the phenomenon; my best guess is that there is some sort of incentive from the developers or city zoning for shops to open there, but nothing as cohesive as an actual mall.
It'll happen soon. Sears just announced the selling of 200 to 300 stores to a REIT, which will own the property and lease it back to the retail stores. This is pretty much how Sears will die.
Going by wikipedia stats (us population of 131 million, 420000 wwii deaths), and assuming 3 years for heavy US troop involvement in the war (say mid-1942 to mid-1945), it looks like war would have accounted for about 107 deaths per 100,000 people for those years.
I don't know why this is so hard nowadays. I administered a large VMS system in the 80s, and we regularly changed usernames (and email names, which were the same thing in those days) for women who requested it. Contrary to another replier, I never received a request to change someone's username to something inappropriate.
