And I will stop reading slashdot because of this crap. I don't want to read Ars SJW / Liberal bent garbage on Ars, and now slashdot is full of what else? Ars SJW Liberal bent garbage, from Ars no less.
Good by.
In this paper, we investigate the impact of the minimum wage on restaurant closures using data from the San Francisco Bay Area. We find suggestive evidence that an increase in the minimum wage leads to an overall increase in the rate of exit.
This paper presents several new findings. First, we provide suggestive evidence that higher minimum wage increases overall exit rates among restaurants, where a $1 increase in the minimum wage leads to approximately a 4 to 10 percent increase in the likelihood of exit, although statistical significance falls with the inclusion of time-varying county-level characteristics and city-specific time trends. This is qualitatively consistent but smaller than what Aaronson et al. (forthcoming) find; they show that a 10 percent raise in the minimum wage increases firm exit by approximately 24 percent from a base of 5.7 percent. Differences in sample and specifications may account for the differences between our study and theirs.
As this is something that I've thought about for some time. I believe the big reason here is not that people are stupid, or uninformed, I think it's more a matter of where they fall for the fuzzy decisions in life, either on the more logical side of things or emotional. Generally humble, quiet, non abrasive types tend to not evoke the same kinds of emotional response that you would see with charismatic narcissists. A fantastic example of this was the 2012 presidential election, emotions ruled.
I sure hope so, the new UI barely functions for me on the latest FF and if the goal is to be more like fark, well, fark is a fail onto itself. This UI (color schema and design) makes the horrible mobile interface look half way usable.
Sorry but no. One persons speculation isn't proof that nn did anything here. More than likely what killed the deal was the fact that it would allow a shithead company to continue to grow and become an even bigger and more destructive monopoly
I charge my Oneplus 3 once a day, usually around midnight or later, and start the use cycle again around 7 AM in the morning, everyday. I use the phone nonstop and have no problems with battery drain. Building a smart phone that's useful, with good battery life apparently isn't that hard for the motivated companies.
How is what you've said not completely bigoted? Blanket attacks on a group of people who you don't like for whatever reason. How do you think your sentence would read if you replaced "conservative republicans" with "african americans" or "gays" or "women", etc. Sure makes you seem like a nasty bigot.
Hm.. No. I don't believe this. I do believe that money was never spent on critical projects such as regular and on going maintenance of core infrastructure that California needs to survive. Rather the people of California would rather spend their money on trains between wealthy areas.
mostly because no one has been willing to put up the money to pay for it,
Sorry but I recall the Federal government spent nearly a trillion dollars some 8 years ago to correct these issues, most of which ended up in the same pockets as before and very little repair or improvement took place.
Yeah, I had read some place that the problems in both spillways where noted by federal inspectors 12 years ago and since then nothing has been done. I remember living there a decade + ago and had graybeard friends that always wondered why they never performed any kind of maintenance on any of the dams in NorCal. The first time Folsom dam was worked on with any serious effort was after one of the primary sluice gates catastrophically failed. So hearing about Oroville is par for the course. California has bigger ticket items to spend money on I guess.
The scientists also believe that the genetic understanding now gained will allow them to breed shorter, stockier plants that don't fall over as easily, and that these benefits could be gained without the use of genetic modification.
I guess plant splicing and selective breading do not count as genetic modification. Who knew? Must have meant direct genetic modification.
Seagate builds almost a million drives a day of various models. WD is right up there as well, some models are built down to a price to keep them cheap. If you're spending more than the bare minimum on the drives you're likely not going to have too many problems.
I was just thinking this after reading the article. Two things to consider here. 1) They lie all the time about various economic numbers, forecasts etc.2) communism is great a creating "jobs" even when people don't want them.

agreed, cool all the way around and fantastically original story.

By no longer using it.
OP3 FTW!
TL;DR: Paypal does shitty things, screws customers, people get mad and sue. Let's talk about Comcast next.
If they make it to spring as a company. In case people haven't been following, Toshiba is having a few money problems at the moment..

You sound like my theoretical physicist friends =)
Science is not about consensus building. What you're describing is a political process not a scientific process.
You completely missed the point.

The only failure here was the lack of maintenance.
