I didn't really understand your point about watches, something about "bitches" and flipping. Your talk about the nike band...not really a smartwatch really, but http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04... there is talk of collaboration between the two which makes more sense, as they are unlikely to compete in the smartphone market, which is already hitting strides. The moto360 is making waves.

As for switching on games on AppleTV...are those people games buyers or would they have like bought a game console instead of an AppleTV.

As for swift...a proprietary language, other than locking in developers to ios why would anyone care. you can't pull those tricks with a market share of 15% and shrinking however good it is...and the drivers are still slow.

I'm pretty sure the smuggler who figures out how to keep his heart rate low can suddenly be super effective. Then, this will give the incentive to create methods to learn how to control your heart-rate and it will be soon mastered by many smugglers.

It is worth noting that the TSA has a human-powered version of this, they call it behavior detection and they've spent at least 1 billion dollars on it and caught 0 terrorists. Of the people they have pulled out for extra inspection, about 1% end up being arrested for things like outstanding warrants and carrying drugs.

That's a 99% failure-rate in the best case. A technocratic version of the same thing could be 10x more effective and it would still be a profound intrusion on basic human dignity.

You decide who is on the ballot.

Actually, no. Not for the two sides of the Establishment Party, anyway.

First, in 2011, 196 people provided almost 80% of the funding to all Super PACs. The one with the most funding is also often the winner, though thankfully we have a recent case to show there are outliers.

Second, I read an article last year (or the year before) that tried to work out how many people it actually takes to get someone on the ballot. I wish I could find it now, it was incredibly insightful. (My first born to the man or woman who can find it in my stead.) It talked about the primaries, the selection of convention delegates, how people are chosen to run, etc., some of which is controlled by state laws (like having to register as a party to partake in that party's primary.) I believe the final number was something like a few tens of thousands people decide who gets on the ballot in the major parties, leaving the millions of people who staunchly tow their respective parties to have "only" one option (because, what, vote for third party? You're mad, that's just throwing your vote away!)

The problems in our national politics are far deeper than people voting only with regard to "their" party, though if we could at least get them to acknowledge third parties that would be a major advancement.

If what you do makes no difference in the education of the kids you teach then why are you even paid at all? Obviously, there is something you can control, it's just a matter of figuring out how to fairly measure it.

Repeating myself since you skipped it the first time:

Cuz in this universe, the number one factor in a student's performance is the home he goes home to at the end of the day. A shitty teacher in Beverly Hills is going to have better standardized test scores than an awesome teacher in Detroit. But that's frequently a feature, not a bug, for social darwinists.

Which is why you wouldn't make a direct comparison between those two.

Thus the problem in standardized testing and "merit" based pay.

If teachers were less afraid of being measured and contributed to better metrics to evaluate teacher performance then the system would already be much improved.

Teachers are already measured. What they are "afraid of" is nakedly bullshit measures like...standardized testing, "merit" based pay, and the farce of forcing schools to compete for money. All of which undermines the professionalism and compensation of the job - by design.

The GP said "a lot more valuable." You respond by stating the hypothetical that it might be slightly more valuable. Riiight.

Willfully obtuse. Unless you're going to tell me that you tell your supervisors that you shouldn't have raises based on expereince because there's little difference between your work now, and when you entered your profession 5, 10, 20, 30 years ago?'

Riiiight.

If the situation hasn't happened in that first 300 times, then it is unlikely to happen very often in the next 300 times.

Tell that to this girl.

Instead of grossly overpaying for that remote possibility I'd rather hire more teachers which I know for certain will result in better educational results.

Grossly over paying? Please, not one of you Bircher-Baggers would touch a teaching position for less than six figures, so take your cheapsake crocodile tears somewhere else.

but public pensions aren't self-funded, they have shifted liabilities to future taxpayers.

[Citation Needed]

Usually the story of underfunded pensions goes one of two ways:
1. pension contributions being diverted to other purposes
2. overly optimistic assumptions about future returns for the pension's investment fund

if your idea of "the way things used to be" is that a select few lived from the pockets of many, then don't be surprised if that way is now gone.

"Select few"?
Again, you're to slanting your language to make pensions some kind of personal offense.
The reality is that "many" had pension plans and the reason that today, only "a select few" have them,
is partly a result of their unions fighting to retain what was once considered a basic part of the American dream.

My idea of "the way things used to be" is a corporate culture where businesses balance the best interests of their share holders with that of their employees.

Costco's Dilemma: Be Kind To Its Workers, or Wall Street?
March 26, 2004

"From the perspective of investors, Costco's benefits are overly generous," says Bill Dreher, retailing analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. "Public companies need to care for shareholders first. Costco runs its business like it is a private company."

Costco appears to pay a penalty for its largesse to workers. The company's shares trade at about 20 times projected per-share earnings for 2004, compared with about 24 for Wal-Mart. Mr. Dreher says the unusually high wages and benefits contribute to investor concerns that profit margins at Costco aren't as high as they should be.

10 years later and you can still read similar complaints about Costco.
As a whole, America used to be more like Costco than like Wal Mart (2013)

THAT explains why there are no accidents in California involving taxis.

Oh, wait there's this one in San Diego, and this one also in San Diego, and... oh, never mind.

Either California issues driver's licenses to COMPETENT drivers, or they do not ... they pretend that there's a point to issuing licenses to drivers and pretend those licenses are "good enough" (even for people carrying a car-load of children) but then mysteriously pretend that a taxi driver needs a special license to carry even one consenting adult. Either California's insurance requirements and vehicle inspection requirements are good, or they are not and the state should stop hassling average citizens with them; it's a JOKE to say the insurance and vehicle inspection for driver "Joe" are adequate (even hauling passengers) but that another set of rules are needed for for the very same guy in the very same car and hauling the very same passengers ... IF HE DOES IT FOR MONEY.

It's a scam.

In most places with taxi regulations, the rules setup a limited number of authorized cronies (to artificially-inflate and protect prices) using some scheme like "medallions" as a totally-artificial market manipulation.

This plague tends to occur in big cities where [a] lots of money is on the line and [b] "big government" Democrats have a death-grip on the political machine (think: Chuck Heston with his NRA rifle), and will therefore never get voted-out over it (because their base voters will support them no matter what they do as long as they support gay marriage, or food stamps, or whatever other social "causes" are the "wedge issue" of the day)

1: Get a 2006 model. 2: Get a 2007 model. 3: LOOK AT THEM.

From your armchair position, it's easy to say you could easily tell. Do you know how many parts go into a car? Also the part change in question involved changing a spring to be 1.6mm longer. So you're telling me this would have been easy to detect. I call BS.

The other thing is that in retrospect it was a faulty part that was changed. However the investigators could not have known whether a process had been changed either for example how the ignition switch was installed might have damaged it and a change in the installation process on the floor might have made the part less susceptible to torque.

Beyond that, for every single fucking part on your assembly line, you're either making it your fucking self or ordering it from someone else. Look at how you're building the new fucking part or look at what shows up on the fucking invoice from the company you ordered it from.

Do you know any details about this case? In this case, the switch was made by Delphi for GM. The actual change was inside the switch. Someone inspecting the ignition switch from the outside CANNOT tell the spring was changed. Since the part number was exactly the same, why would an QA inspector, worker, purchaser, etc. know any different. Nothing would not have triggered a closer inspection and disassembly of the part.

Greater efficiency with the same resources to support a bigger population is pointless, it achieves nothing. Here's a good article on the topic:

1.4 million reasons you are wrong, idiot.

shill for me more, monkey. you are NOTHING.

You do realize that there's no angels who come down to heaven and smite countries that let you fly without the proper paperwork? So if Putin just told his airline that they "accidentally forgot" to scan Snowden's passport Ed would be in Cuba today?

Nice squirrel, but that does.....what to prop back up the Big Lie that Snowden chose to end up in Russia?

Nothing.

This particular post isn't intended to prove anything about Snowden's choices.

It's intended to prove that Putin is as much to blame for Snowden being stuck in Russia as Clinton is.

In other words Clinton may have signed the paper Putin used to rationalize keeping Snowden as his pet, but Putin's the one who decided he wanted a Snowden pet.

Ah, "pet". You forgot to include "traitor" in the list of required junk authoritarian talking points. Short of Putin putting Snowden on a Russian navy fleet chartered for Havana, it's going to be somewhat difficult for him to get to South America when the U.S. has shown how far it's willing to go to get him. But I'm sure Puting declining to spend tens or hundreds of thousands to fly Snoden pro-bono is still Snowden's fault. Somehow.

So, have you always been a fan of corrupt hypocritical authoritarianism, or just since Obama was elected?

And now, since you have no idea how to respond to a post that indicates the United States is not the only evil country to ever exist, you insist I must be "authoritarian." As countries go we're far from perfect, but we're a lot better then most.

I haven't said anything about Snowden's choices in this post. A "pet" isn't necessarily happy about being held captive, that's why they escape. Whether he likes it or not that's what Ed Snowden is today. And it's what he'll remain for the foreseeable future, because Putin clearly wants to keep him.

As for Putin's choices, you do realize he has the second largest navy in the world Navy? Including carriers? And that it's very difficult to stop a commercial aircraft from flying through your airspace? Especially one that doesn't need to stop to re-fuel? What are you gonna do, kill 150 innocent passengers to skoosh Ed Snowden?

Snowden's problems with using Morales' plane were two-fold:

1) Bolivia is poor, so Morales plane did not have the range to go all the way in one go. He had to stop in Europe to refuel. Italy, Spain, and France all refused permission. If it had simply been a matter of airspace Spain would have been irrelevant, because you can't get to Spanish airspace from Moscow without going through Italy or France.

2) The French are (as pretty much always) playing a double-game. Publicly they'll condemn the hell out of the NSA. Privately their industrial policy is based partly on strategic industrial espionage, their foreign policy is based on having intricate (and intimate) relationships with a dozen or two former African colonies. This means they do a lot of fucking spying on fucking everyone. But they are also the designated America-skeptics, so last July they condemned PRISM. The day before Le Monde revealed that France had it's own PRISM program. This was all pretty embarrassing for the French, and it was July 4th or so. Morales plane had problems a few days before that. The French had to know Snowden's revelations would spread to their DGSE, so they had to be very unhappy with him.

Generally the way the US abuses it's relationships is not by forcing countries to do things. They generally simply say "fuck you US" on principle. The way the US abuses it's power is by doing things, and then daring anyone to call us on it. This pretty much our entire relationship to Pakistan. OTOH, the French generally work indirectly through their allies. This helps them sometimes (ie: just try getting a non-French oil company into a former French colo

The "it is no surprise the NSA does X" line is just a way to let them off the hook.

It is exactly the short of thing we should expect from an organization charged with saving society by undermining it.

Remember what Osama bin Laden said in his only post-9/11 interview.

"I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed," bin Laden said as the U.S. war on terrorism raged in Afghanistan. "The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life."

Applying general demographics to a targeted job applicant pool is very misleading anyway. We can't expect Google to hire 51% females when females only make up 13.4% of CS undergraduates.

And what if they do? That means, naturally, that they took more than their fair share of female applicants and now there exist fewer female applicants for other companies to choose from. And then we get articles like this, except moaning that Apple now has fewer females than they should.

Data seems to back this up. According to a Computing Research Association study in 2010, only 13.4% of CS graduates from American universities (that have Ph.D. programs) were female, and only 4.2% were African American. You also have to factor in the demographics of the Mountain View area, where as of 2010 only 2.2% of the population is African American.

What they're saying is they've made the first initial steps with this technology. And initial results in a flight simulator are starting to look like they might be able to make it work.

If the government wants to stop Chinese from hacking US companies, it should limit the number of Chinese students studying Computer Science in American universities. That would cut the number of skilled Chinese hackers, and would increase the number of places in American universities for American students. ( See the article "Chinese flock to elite U.S. schools". ) Of course there are worldwide MOOC classes, but limiting access to classroom Computer Science education would help.

Of course. Because no one else, anywhere in the world, knows how to hack. Or understands computer science.

Yes, but where is that money going?

Winston Brooks, superintendent for Albuquerque Public Schools, makes $250k a year as of 2013. APS teachers averaged closer to $43k last year. According to CNN Money the poverty rate (lowest 15% of income) in 2013 was on the order of $51k nationwide.

Um, according to the article you cited, $51K was the median household income in the US in 2013, not the poverty line. FTA: "Those making $23,492 a year for a family of four, or $11,720 for an individual were considered to be living in poverty."

According to CNN Money the poverty rate (lowest 15% of income) in 2013 was on the order of $51k nationwide. Granted there are some areas that bring up that average, such as Washington DC, New York and California. You can look into the salaries for teachers and assorted staff, but it still doesn't seem to add up to the overall funding line. Money gets tied up into standardized tests and the bureaucracy in managing them. Similarly to large corporations, education systems can (and sometimes do) get top-heavy with assorted C-level personnel that demand an unexplainably high salary for being little more than stamp jockeys.

Yep. 6.2G/300K = 20.7K police officers. Somehow I think there are more than 20,667 police officers in the US.

Maybe they meant state highway patrols? The page on statistics brain says the source is "U.S. highway patrol" which is funny since last I checked the FBI has never issued a speeding ticket. Maybe park rangers issue tickets, but otherwise highway patrols are state entities. So, is the $6.2G only the total of tickets issued by state highway patrols? I haven't gotten a lot of tickets in my life (last one was 7 years ago) but more than once they were on local roads issued by local officers (you know, doing 50 in a 35mph zone). So, I'm really uncertain as to the accuracy of any of their numbers.

That aside, who cares? Not every state/local govt is Hampton, FL. http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/09/...

Speaking of math, U.S. state governments combined spend about $1.5T a year. (http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/) So $6.2G is less than 1% of just the state budgets. Not a big deal.

So, ask yourself, would you mind paying a few cents more per gallon if it meant NEVER HAVING TO PAY A SPEEDING TICKET AGAIN?

All in all, a tempest in an, ahem, teapot.

Note that medical care in the USA is pretty good - we have a lot of experience with GSW Gun SHot Wounds, so that 100 deaths is likely from 1500-2500 injuries. Shooting yourself with a .22, which is smaller than your pinky nail, won't kill you unless you are:
