"Spoken like someone who doesn't work with the public." I have on occasion. Some people are suited to it and others not. But these girls would have a far easier time them some. I am sure they do not get many angry yelling people like the rest of the world's customer service people.
The original article said they work for 30 minutes and then take a 10 minute break, so I mis-mathed it is 1/4 of the time. And personally I find the heels argument not that convincing since tons of women spend similar amounts of time in them just to look pretty with no financial incentive at all.
And I would never say anyone cannot complain, but I would still expect most people to consider them silly girls without much sense of real work of the real world when they do so.
No, but at the same time these are obviously just girls used to having it easy, complaining. They work 8 hour days, with 1/3 of the time being BREAK TIME. And when they are working all they have to do is stand and smile, and they think they have it hard and that they are doing real work.
The only study I heard of was one involving humans, and it was not a blind one either. Not that this can can be blind. I would still say that it was the alertness that the coffee caused that more likely prevented Alzheimers then the coffee itself.
Sure caffeine possibly could, by itself, prevent Alzheimers. But I would say a far more likely reason for the correlation is the correlation between drinking a good amount of coffee and being active and exercising your brain on a daily basis.
As someone who was fringe involved in a small claims court case, I know that in my case the judge flat out stated that she had not even read the filled out form/presentation of evidence/reason for case. Just the one sentence title/summery (X amount for Y).
Starting on your last points, first I cannot disagree more. If we were to pick the law as the correct opinion then it would retard the cultural change and for example might very well have extended slavery.
I also disagree that broad consensus are necessarily enshrined in law or are largely immutable and that change of opinion is a counter-argument. Culture changing is a fact, but that does not make unnatural culture change a good thing at all. Even a culture being influenced from afar has its downsides, not that complete isolation is a good alternative. But my original point was not that cultural contamination was bad but that inserting another culture into a country can create laws and rulings that are contrary to the original founding culture. If I am in a country that has a 60% pro abortion opinion rate and I am happy with that (which might correspond to: it is legal but considered immoral and unacceptable in normal circumstances) then why would I want to allow in a bunch of people who are of a different opinion and might push and be successful in outlawing it?
"You make an implied assertion here that someone from another culture who shares its opinions will necessarily disagree with yours. That is not the case - there are plenty of mutually compatible cultures out there that agree on the fundamentals, especially those that share common roots. I doubt you'd find many important points to disagree upon with a Canadian, say. Or even a Pole, for that matter." As a Canadian I would say that I absolutely would not want this country to become any more American. Of all the nationalities to let in I think I would choose anyone except the US, our philosophies are almost complete opposites IMO in all important matters (especially the political ones).
Politics, and culture. Every culture has it own opinions. Someone who grew up in another culture will invariably have different opinions, and when you allow someone to immigrate you not only give them a vote in your future but their future children as well, who depending on the situation could retain a large part of the original foreign culture.
You seem to be implying screening people to make sure they have the correct opinions. Well that has many limitations. First off, I have my doubts that it is possibly to be from another culture and not share its opinions and therefore disagree with the one you are immigrating to; It would just become a test at memorizing the correct responses; And who is to say that the correct opinions are, most people in any country would have a different opinion on that and they change all the time.
Personally, I have my doubts that immigration is logical in a democracy. But if you are a capitalist and are coming from a standpoint of increasing the economy, then allowing anyone who wants to come and work on whatever is the only logical policy.
It seems any system that differentiates based on wage is inherently flawed. Most try to differentiate based on skill and if that skill can be found locally.
Practically, we do not have a problem with perfect counterfeits that simply cannot be spotted by an expert. In fact we already have an infallible system (serial numbers: we know all the bills in existence and if any duplicates turn up or numbers out of range we know that counterfeiting is going on and that those bills are counterfeit).
The problem with counterfeiting we actually have is that bills can relatively easily get past retailers and allow the owner to purchase stuff or launder it even if they would fail to pass scrutiny. This, if you consider it a big problem, could be solved with current technology and current bills (all bills get scanned and the serial number verified).
I guess the writer assumed, and I would of as well, that every Slashdot user knows at least a little about general history, the history of technology, or has at least watched a little star trek.
She is the most famous pilot ever, and was one back when that it was a huge deal that she was a woman. She eventually wanted to be the first the cross the pacific or something like that and was never heard form again. As as such there are very many myths about her (abducted by aliens, etc.).
It really is getting ridiculous. The speed is pretty much the least important number.
And real home consumer lever plans are already getting so bad such that you can use up your cap in an hour or 2 if you actually use the speed advertised.
They seem to already have a very good working automated system, and really a person would never be able to memorise all copyrighted works like a computer can to check against the videos.
Well that would be true if women owned companies were inherently inferior and unable to compete and therefore need special treatment. The rest of the article seems to imply that is the authors opinion.
You are just being silly. They cannot wait for the lease to expire, it is a infinite length lease. And they cannot just dissolve the lease without recompense, there is no reason they would want to make people angry or do something that illegal.
"There are more laws regarding what you as an individual can do in general. Does that mean you're only leasing your body?": No, as proven by you no longer having to follow those laws when you leave your country.
And my argument did not stand on property tax, a rent of 0 does not make it not a lease.

Low accuracy and high precision. Now this is a scientific article that has some credibility.
The only study I heard of was one involving humans, and it was not a blind one either.
Not that this can can be blind. I would still say that it was the alertness that the coffee caused that more likely prevented Alzheimers then the coffee itself.
Well since genetics is hereditary we do not really have to sequence the babies genes to know its medical future.
Sure caffeine possibly could, by itself, prevent Alzheimers.
But I would say a far more likely reason for the correlation is the correlation between drinking a good amount of coffee and being active and exercising your brain on a daily basis.

OK, so how does Judge.me figure out which country's laws to apply? and which countries does it have legal binding status in?

Well that leads to the obvious question then, why don't they? They seem to disappear quite quickly when it starts raining.

If they released software and patches when they were done instead of on an artificial time schedule.
Math sure helps a lot with CS, but neither of her qualifications or CS guarantees or even implies a skill at developing games.

Hate and a hate speech can be an opinion, many laws would still condemn it.

Except you don't want to get an HP or Dell, the Thinkpad/Lenovos seem good.
