Forgive me for this n00b question, but what do you get with ProtonMail (with respect to security) that you don't get with, say, gmail?

Greg Cochran, an expert geneticist who wrote 'The 10,000 Year Explosion' has a different view.

Yes this is why it's unable to find any music outside of the Billboard Top 20 chart.

Since this is your first job out of school, this tip won't help you unfortunately. In any case, it's good to keep a buffer of 6-months spending handy in savings (outside of retirement accounts, those should preferably NEVER be touched outside of TRUE emergencies). Having a buffer-fund, you will find, will keep your mind at ease and give you options to walk away from very toxic environments. Good luck buddy!

Yes to your 'EDIT'. If we can't even see increasing frequency of hurricanes, then how can we even begin to attribute things to AGW?

Just one question, have you looked at the frequency of extreme weather events over the last century?

Your EDIT is right! That was my use case. When I got my new Nexus 6P, I saw a nice, well-functioning new Messenger app and danced a little.

What was really horrible and downright ATROCIOUS was the Messenger (SMS) integration into Hangouts. I was jumping for joy when they freed SMS from Hangouts again recently.

Do you know how much is spent on US infrastructure per year? Do you think it's the lack of funds responsible for sub-par US infrastructure?
