There was a book written called "3 Felonies a Day" which details how the legal code is so complex, everyone is a felon. What you are describing is a symptom of that.
Unfortunately, the lesson is that he should have just kept quiet and kept his souvenir. Especially if his account of events is honest and the rock was a gift, not a loan.
At least they put their cast to good use for the business, getting access to the best components, as opposed to just hording it to swim around in like Scrooge McDuck.
What's terrifying is that you think simply showing that carbon dioxide traps some heat is proof of the entire range of predictions that global warming theorists make.
Do you think asking some questions about sulfur is worse than actually advocating for trillions of dollars of expense on the economy?
"People who have absolutely no expertise whatsoever think they can just handwave the results and scientific consensus of thousands of researchers who have spent millions of man-hours analyzing datasets from dozens of different and unrelated sources, all of which have the same levels of correlation pointing to the same issues."
This cuts both ways. You want people outside the field to accept their expertise. So just tell me how to falsify the theory. Temperatures not matching predictions won't work because apparently another source will be blamed.
Let's overlook the fact that we have a big fat admission that temperatures haven't been going up for about a decade and how no one wanted to readily admit that to the public...
Global warming theory, as presently constructed, can't be falsified. "The theory's valid! It's the sulfur, the ocean cycles, the -fill in reasons for lack of warming-."
How can we even disprove this current assertion? They have no idea.
At the very least, this gives credence to the Freakanomics folks. Instead of wrecking the world's economy, how about we just shoot sulfur in the upper part of our atmosphere if you are worried about global warming?
The sig doesn't allow for much nuance. But I was generally referring to Afghanistan and the Cold War military buildup which they couldn't afford anymore. Not that they were invaded and defeated. I hope that clarifies.
The only problem with saying "corporations are our government" is that corporations compete with each other within the same industry and opposing industries. It's too wide of a statement to be meaningful.
If a bunch of government elites got together to crush my business and get behind a theory that conveniently gives bureaucrats massive amounts of power, I would chip in.0001% of my profits to an alternative point of view.
I'm not disagreeing with him, but it is the best we can do? "Some random guy my son met on the playground disagrees with Tom Henderson." Should that be the next article submitted on the topic?
As a general rule, I find that conservatives and libertarians tend to think about consequences to tax policy, regulation, etc. If I take away money from person X, he'll have less money to save and spend. How will that impact the economy? If I put a regulation on the company, how will they respond to the increased cost? Will it outweigh the benefit of the regulation?
Liberals don't tend to think like this as much as far as I can tell from their reasoning.
If you explain to the Mob that you can't make your payment and instead of paying them what they want, you'd have to go out of business. How about taking a little bit less? No deal. Pay us.
That's the Mob as well as government. What they really care about is getting their cut. The negative consequences of their actions...they don't care about that.

He wanted to leave but wanted to see the case through. Or who knows?
So instead of speculating on future Apple product we are now speculating on HR moves?

I don't know. Are they giving me candy or a trip to Disneyland?
Agreed. I think a big part of that is that we have a decline in manufacturing jobs even when we have seen an increase in manufacturing.
Unfortunately for him, he'll be paid in bitcoins.

Do those pieces of code have comments in it like these: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/25/climategate-hide-the-decline-codified/
I saw nothing on that site about how the theory would be falsified.
That software code, from what I've read, was quite shocking.
Your insightful comments make you a "denialist."

I would love to hear the stories of how NYC's requirements lead to the mess. Which as a former defense contractor, I'm almost certain they are there.
Did Bloomburg take a break from monitoring people's salt intake? When did he become a software project management expert?

I wonder who General Electric and corporations who are knee-deep in building "green technologies" on the government dime are supporting.

The mob has functioned as a de facto government, albeit a corrupt one, in the past.
