Yes.

If you think you say them the same either you are unaware of the subtleties of your own speech or you speak very strangely.

There are very obvious differences in tone, spacing, and emphasis between "back up" and "backup". "up" gets the emphasis on the former, "back" gets emphasis on the latter which is much shorter without a pause between syllables. I don't know that I agree with the parent about back-up.

There are significant differences communicating through writing, communicating by voice only (phone), and communicating face to face.

Both writing and in-person communicating add quite a lot of bandwidth for information compared to voice-only. Face to face there is a dynamic conscious and unconscious physical communicating going on, and writing – similarly – adds nuance with language features that are either very subtle in speech or not present at all.

Speech isn't the language standard that writing aims to copy – they're separate and there's no requirement that each have every feature of the other.
I'm neither for nor against gun ownership, but I am against blatant misrepresentation of the facts. The facts are:

- 1 : home invasion is incredibly rare

- 2 : injury and death by firearm, intentional or otherwise is incredibly high in the USA.

Professor Harold Pollack, who (among other things) co-directs the University of Chicago's Crime Lab: [1]

"...the everyday risks of injury, accident, domestic altercations, and suicide. The relative risks matter. And the fact is: lethal home invasions and burglaries are incredibly rare. You might not think so, since dramatic cases stick in your mind and tend to receive disproportionate press coverage. These cases are rare nonetheless."

"I had the Chicago police run the number on homicides. In 2011, precisely one homicide listed "burglary" as the motive. Nationwide, there are about 100 burglary-homicides every year. When you compare that to more than 18,000 gun suicides, the conclusions seem pretty obvious."

Enjoy your guns all you like, but be honest, they are a dangerous hobby and the statistical likelihood of you or a family member being harmed or killed by a gun the family owns is far higher than the chance that

- you will ever be the victim of a home invasion

- you will get the chance for a high noon shoot out with a "bad guy"

What's interesting is that Bollywood stars whose names were in

Those Bollywood stars are the ones who (1) own huge stretches of agricultural land posing as farmers, (2) own benami properties.

Perhaps publicly supporting anything a ruling government says is their way to demonstrate support towards the government and avoid any scrutiny.

Part of what the article is saying is that spending isn't a great proxy for cost.
Look at Gloucestershire UK a few years ago. They had flooding. That overcame flood defences at a water treatment plant, and that caused havoc for weeks.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/floods/

some places went without water for some time. 135,000 homes went without water for upto 17 days. Each person requires 10 litres of clean water per day.

http://www.floodprobe.eu/partner/assets/documents/Floodprobe...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_United_Kingdom_floods

Some bits of the planning failed - the water treatment plant should not have flooded, for example. But some did work - vulnerable people who needed medication mostly got it; and people did get 10 litres of clean water each day.

But it's that event that made me keep some bottles of water, and to keep some stocks of tinned food.

from a personal standpoint i often skip preventive care even if its free. I am either just lazy or scared my doctor will tell me something bad.
My mom was born around 1951 in San Francisco to parents raised there and in the central valley. My dad was born around 1946 in San Mateo to parents from Iowa and I forget. The ancestry is Catholic from Ireland, Scotland, Germany, and similar.

The engagement ring is fancy. The wedding band is plain. The wedding band is always worn. The engagement ring could be worn, but that is optional. My mom wore hers often enough that it and the wedding band ground each other away and eventually had to be soldered together. So you don't have to always keep the engagement ring in a box, but you might, and wearing it is totally optional. The wedding ring pretty much never comes off.

I don't see how it would be any different than traditional lineups, where if a witness selects one of the foils, they've just failed to select the police suspect. Police don't just stack a lineup with potential suspects in order to decide who to investigate.

Without trying to sound like a complete schizophrenic, I feel like I am me, but when I read about something like your post and I actively think about where my ideas come from, I feel like the person suggesting them is just ahead of me and that the act of trying to observe my own thoughts sees him duck down faster.

I can only liken it to trying to catch yourself looking to the side in a mirror in front of you. Clearly impossible but as a kid I recall trying this. Tantalising.

These are all better and more knowledgeable points than my own! I definitely only speak out of an abundance of caution having known people whose bad electricity and habits have damaged property.
Let me take to an extreme:

You can say anything you want in public. And someone can still run you over with a truck if they don't like it. They would go to jail, of course.

I see a lot of young people out there saying and doing really dumb things. Yes, you do have freedom of speech, but it isn't a Captain America shield that will protect you from the consequences of what you say, where you say it and to whom you said it.

Like the guy who brought out a "Never Trump" sign in the middle of a Trump rally. He got roughed-up good. And, of course, this wasn't right. The people who attacked him need to be charged with assault. And he needs to truly reflect on the idea that if you do something like that you could very well end-up in the hospital or worst.

In other words: Freedom of speech doesn't mean someone can behave like a class-A moron. Well, actually, no, they can, but they better be ready to face whatever the consequences might be.
> A majority of Indians don't have access to banks either.

Forget banks, many don't have ID. Ration cards exist, but those are tied to your household so you may not easily be able to get access to your ration card (say if you're in a city with family -- and ration card -- back home). In case of estranged women it's even hader.

Without ID they can't exchange larger amounts. It's also hard to create a new bank account on short notice without this.

My mother once helped a young woman set up a bank account. She had come to Mumbai to find work, and used to live at her aunt's place, and her aunt would hold her money for her (but skim off it). Most such people keep their savings in cash someplace "safe", though some use post office accounts. Anyway, the process was arduous. Her name was garbled on her family's ration card, and they needed the original, which was back at the village. This took forever to sort out.

This is going to be hard to work through for a few. Especially those with lower income who keep most of their life savings in cash.
the people who die, i assume are the ones that cant afford that care and need to knoww beforehand its going to be completely covered?
We have fairly comprehensive building regulations for all new housing. Our new house plans were rejected because we didn't specify strong enough straps to fix the hot water cylinder to the wall. The straps they insisted on would withstand 10 times the force experienced in the Christchurch earthquake, which was one of the most violent in terms of acceleration ever. When the big one happens, our house may be destroyed but by god the hot water cylinder will still be attached to the wall!

New Zealand in general is very quake-prone - our nickname in Victorian times was "the shaky isles". In fact our country owes it's existence to a particularly nasty intersection between the Australian and Pacific plates, with the Aussie plate slipping under the Pacific in the South Island, and vice versa in the North Island. You might think that the bit in the middle would be particularly dangerous, and you'd be right. Now guess where we built Wellington, our capital city?

Finally, there was a nice anecdote about some US hotel guests standing in the cold and dark after being evacuated from their damaged hotel. Asked if this had changed their mind about moving to NZ, they replied "Hell no, Trump is a far worse disaster than this!".

The BBC is always like this. You should have seen the bias in the 2014 general elections, they did not want Narendra Modi to win and become the prime minister and they made that very clear in every article leading up to the election. He did end up winning. When India successfully sent a probe to Mars the BBC suggested the money could be better spent elsewhere. I would not rely on the BBC for India news, or even United States news for the matter.

If you relied on the BBC for India news you wouldn't ever want to visit because you'd be afraid you would get raped as soon as you step out of the airport. In the case of the USA, you wouldn't even make it out of the airport, you would be shot dead at the baggage carousel. What annoys me most is I am forced by law to pay for such news reporting.
I think the BBC has completely missed the sentiment on the ground. There is widespread support for this. Every single person I've spoken to in the long queues near ATMs have expressed that they don't mind the inconvenience because it will help the country.
I don't disagree with the analysis on how free parking makes things more expensive, but if you carry that argument forward, it gets kind silly.

Credit cards make everything more expensive when the poor often can't use them due to bad credit.

Putting grocery stores in really upscale areas makes the groceries cost more (across all stores), even though the poor don't shop at the fancy stores.

I'm sure what this article is arguing for.
The argument is ridiculous because it's saying that people had no sense of self and identity until mirrors are invented. This is plainly false to anyone who is a human being. It is also plainly false with a cursory look at ancient literature, which is full of characters with strong egos.
The Conversation About VR Struggles to Get Real
You seem to have some firsthand knowledge of the situation, maybe you can help me with the question I posed earlier.

This medical center in Texas seems to be providing a great level of service. I am wondering why patients need to attend directly to get this level of care. I thought that medical findings were published in journals and shared among professionals in the field.

If M.D. Anderson has a dozen (or a hundred) doctors that are experienced in the treatment of certain diseases, why aren't they sending half of those doctors out to other parts of the world to spread that knowledge?
Just like it has become socially unacceptable for the wealthy avoid tax? Or to burn coal for energy? I'm not sure I believe that. Might be good for the planet, but it very much sounds like wishful thinking to me.

There are many more possibilities.

Another is that we are late. The universe has already been bum rushed by von Neumann probes and other such things. This happened a billion years ago. The cowboy era of the cosmos is now over.

We are now in an era when mature highly advanced beings have some system of governance in place. This includes a kind of prime directive for simpler newcomers to protect them from premature contamination.

We don't see these beings because our solar system is a nature preserve (due to our biosphere being in it), and their surveillance takes such advanced unobtrusive forms that it is undetectable to us.

Radio silence in this scenario could be explained by distance, the use of cellular and complex modulations over inefficient broadcasting, or the discovery of something much better than radio that renders it obsolete.

Perhaps intentional high amplitude signals toward naive worlds are illegal, as is detectable visitation.

The only bugaboo with this speculation is where the megastructures are. Maybe highly advanced means so miniaturized and efficient that such big iron is pointless. The benevolent space brothers are immortal quantum computer brains at liquid helium temperature that consume a few watts of power, and space flight is done using low energy slow methods because when you are immortal who cares how long it takes.

I'll call this one the wise old universe hypothesis.

All those animals were domesticated for very different reasons. I've spent a lot of time with horses, my family had three, and they're great animals - but they don't come anywhere close to dogs when it comes to trust and the ability to read people. I've seen dogs trained with nothing more than praise - the desire to please is that strong for them. That doesn't work for horses.
>>I do accept this fact. Is there better option?

Which fact do you not accept? Do you believe every person in India has a bank account? Every person has credit cards? Debit cards?

Do you believe purchasing chain from production to end consumers has infrastructure for electronic transactions? Or that there is a way to make the economy run when close to 80% of the money is taken out of circulation?

>While I agree that the President is just one person, what bothers me is that I can't ever remember having someone elected to the highest office in the nation without any experience.

Trump aside, experience is overrated in politics.

Fresh people get elected to major positions all the time. For the main role of being a President, few things can prepare you. And for all the details, there are tons of advisors etc. to help you.

Whether Clinton, Obama, Trump etc, they are all clueless to the most pressing issues of today and especially tomorrow (with respect to climate change, technology, jobs, etc). Heck, most are clueless even after having been Presidents. At best, they are at the mercy of their advisors and policy influencers, and the best we can hope is that they have good intentions.

I also think it's best to have a wide angle view of society and the world from different aspects (not that Trump has that), than to have experience in backroom discussions and Washington dealings.
I think the argument is that city planners (the State) requires a minimum amount of parking for all structures, thereby raising the price of all goods. It's not that expensive things are bad, but that maybe the State should focus on affordable housing for the poor.
This happens to me regularly when I go back home (to a foreign country not the US). All the sockets have ground but the ground doesn't actually go anywhere... So you still get shocked. My solution was a bit lazier: plugin my MBP only when I'm not using it...

This does not. You've transitioned to talking about averages for some reason.
They're not arguing against free parking, just against regulations that require certain amounts of parking to be built

The ISM is not charged. Most of it is ionized, however.

The jet itself has a magnetic field that is largely parallel to the jet, though it gets tangled up in the "bubble" that the jet blows in the ISM. The bubbles can be quite large (comparable to the size of the galaxy itself), but are usually outside the galaxy. I don't believe that the jet much changes the magnetic field of the ISM anywhere away from the jet.

Yes, it can embed the cost. However the problem solving approach should be social one; more tax from who can afford, which means in this case, the car owners. Without social, community based approach, the solution surely become less protective and more discrimitive to poor people.
I can relate to the author.

As I'm getting older, I find myself having much more empathy for other people. It's almost overwhelming to think that all the billions of people on earth have just the same kind of stream of consciousness that I have, each feeling their setbacks and happy moments with just as much importance.

Definitely not - but in cases where healthcare is involved, especially cancer, people are motivated to travel to what is considered the best. In cancer's case, it's the big three: MD Anderson, Sloan-Kettering, or the Mayo Clinic.
Unfortunately insufficient parking is also a big issues; one in which these regulations are an attempt to solve. One could prevent less parking to be built but that would put more pressure on public roads. If you've ever been to an area with insufficient parking, it's pretty horrible. More so for people with cars but it affects those without cars as well.
I don't disagree with the numbers but you could make this same argument for literally any feature of a business that has the affect of making that business more attractive to customers with Y quality (where Y is not something all customers have).

Let's imagine that the parking lots of Walmart, $localSupermarketChain and other stores is cut to 1/4 it's present size. What happens then? I suspect the inability to draw wealthier customers from further away (because "why shop somewhere you can't find parking") would cause a price increase.
