Why should anybody have their money *taken* to fix OTHER people's "social problems"?
People aren't being "left" in poverty.. They're not helping themselves out of poverty. Why don't they go to the already cheap (because they're subsidized) community colleges to learn something new to get a better job to make more money?
The marketplace for unused carbon credits was specifically part of its design.
Companies get some certain amount (an amount that lowers over time), and they can sell unused ones to other companies that are polluting more than their limits allow.
If you mean that Tesla doesn't just literally throw away the unused valuable credits, that's silly. I suspect the other companies would likely just keep polluting above their limits, and just pay a fine instead of buying credits from another company.
... your middle class hipster chow....doesn't cost half again as much as my SNAP benefits.
Well, if you got off your food stamps, maybe you could become middle class and afford it too.
(BTW, I think it's overpriced too, but have still been vaguely interested in trying it. I wish there were a low(er) cal version though. I *know* that's not the point, but a version that provided all of the nutrition necessary but was ALSO low(er) calorie, could be a way to skip some meals..)
That's funny, because aliases on the Mac *combine* those two concepts (or at least can).
For example, they can contain both information to track a file even as it moves around (whose content is parsed by the software/OS to determine the location of the target) and while not exactly a filesystem object, can contain the inode too (and whatever equivalent was used pre-OS X).
Seeing the price of SSDs and Spinning HD, at their current price points, there is no reason to NOT get the SSD, at whatever cost they are now.
Yes, there are reasons to not get the SSD. 1) price 2) amount of storage -- I can't get an 8 TB drive to put in a Tivo for ~$250. I can for a "Spinning HD". 3) number of writes 4) some things don't use/can't use the speed.. e.g. no reason to put an SD in a Tivo or a PS3 (something I also just bought a new drive for).
Thanks.. then why doesn't it actually put up a reasonable error dialog in that case, instead of two different error codes listed in the parent article?
Nutritional information and list of ingredients are *government mandated*.
If the customers "don't" get what they want, then buy the (likely overpriced) stuff labelled "GMO free" and live in your (current) placebo world that you're eating healthier stuff.
From the same page, the minimum liability requirements are: $15,000 for injury/death to one person. $30,000 for injury/death to more than one person. $5,000 for damage to property.
I have no idea if most people have way higher liability insurance than that. If they *don't*, then it seems like the bond "workaround" could be reasonable. I admit I'm not running out and doing it right now, but it is tempting. (I *think* I have the minimum required insurance on my cars, only one of which I actually drive regularly.)
The GMO religion believes that every GMO is a good GMO. That no genetically modified organism can ever possibly hurt you, so you must not be allowed to know which foods are from GMOs. They've never heard about NewLeaf Potatoes or LibertyLink Rice.
I've never said it can never possibly hurt you. Heck, I think there's probably a likelihood that there will be some kind of problem some day. But what actual scientifically proven health problems from GMOs have ever happened?
Labelling them is arguably a "warning". Why warn people of something that has had no actual health related problems?
I admittedly only googled, but: *) NewLeaf Potatoes failed seemingly because of people like you who are afraid of them for no good reason. *) LibertyLink rice is tolerant to herbicides
I didn't even see any nut job pages in the google results.
At least in some states, if you had the money, you *could* do without insurance. For example, in CA, you can have one of the following:
* Motor vehicle liability insurance policy. * Cash deposit of $35,000 with DMV. * DMV-issued self-insurance certificate. * Surety bond for $35,000 from a company licensed to do business in California.
The whole system is designed for people having stuff "they only sometimes need". Most commuters only need a single seat and a 20 mile range
That's why my electric smart car works great. Yeah, it has 2 seats, but it's small(*) and cheap.. and you suckers subsidized me $10K for it too.
(*) This morning as the work parking was packed as usual, I even fit *beside* a motorcycle in a single parking spot, and only went a bit into the next spot. (I knew I was leaving at lunchtime, I probably wouldn't've done that for a full day of parking.)
"The concept of "Being a parent" is archaic. I look forward to the offloading all the associated penalty costs of "Being a parent" in favour of a service model.":)
Aren't you at least several centuries late? It's called a nanny.
I do. Sure, I'm not going to work there anyway, but I think being able to wear a T shirt and shorts is a HUGE perk.
Sure, pay me enough and I guess I would submit to a dress code.. But in the theoretical everything else being equal situation, I'd definitely pick the no dress code place.
Ironic thing is, unless one's spouse or significant-other has really, REALLY let themselves go, the grass really isn't greener on the other side. The other person might appeal because they're new, but it's usually because they're new and the shiny luster hasn't been worn off through familiarity, and once that familiarity is well and truly established the new person isn't any better than the previous one, and could actually be worse.
The funny thing is, I thought that long ago while watching "Fatal Attraction", even before she was totally nutso.

Why is it hypocrisy?

They're recycling them instead (pun intended).
I think it's the food equivalent of (the apparently apocryphal story that) "Albert Einstein had 7 of the exact same suit".
Some people apparently don't like food much, so they just want to get the nutrition and be on with their day.
Well, if you got off your food stamps, maybe you could become middle class and afford it too.
(BTW, I think it's overpriced too, but have still been vaguely interested in trying it. I wish there were a low(er) cal version though. I *know* that's not the point, but a version that provided all of the nutrition necessary but was ALSO low(er) calorie, could be a way to skip some meals..)
Correction: Which was derived from (and greatly expanded upon) concepts seen during a tour of Xerox PARC that were *paid for*.

But they didn't win, did they? If they didn't win, it's irrelevant.
I still don't see you providing any shred of evidence that there are proven human health concerns for GMOs.

But again, a doughnut is by definition flour + other stuff, not "literally made of trans-fat".
Can you give specific examples?
Yes, I know there are cases of being able to round down from .4999999 grams/serving to 0..
But "literally made of trans-fat" plus "token amount" does not equate to rounding down a small amount.
If there is no scientific evidence of that, why waste time/money FORCING companies to put labels, which would act as *warnings*, about them?
I want all of my food labelled to show it has no cooties in it. Will you support that too?
Of course the nut jobs will be against it.
I'd say it has worked, at least better, for, oh, the most valuable company on the planet.
Why not try to solve those problems _too_?
I do. Sure, I'm not going to work there anyway, but I think being able to wear a T shirt and shorts is a HUGE perk.
Sure, pay me enough and I guess I would submit to a dress code.. But in the theoretical everything else being equal situation, I'd definitely pick the no dress code place.
