Most of those laws are in place to prevent people from trying to live in or rent out storage units, sheds, tents and other improvised housing that isn't meant for human habitation.
Not being allowed to live in a building is not the same as condemning the building. Buildings are condemned when they're unsafe for anyone to enter it at all, not just unsuitable for people to live there. Municipalities have no interest in condemning every storage facility, garage and garden shed that doesn't have electricity.
if nobody has heard of them, it means they have no customers. Sounds like he's talking about shell companies put together to parrot whatever opinions their owners want to repeat.
But then again, he's also made it clear that he wants to allow all of the obvious bot comments supporting his repeal of net neutrality to be accepted as genuine support, so it's not like he hasn't been clear about his agenda and his lack of concern what the actual public wants.
For the same reason that drinking an extra liter of water per day has a negligible affect on your health, but drinking an extra 100 liters of water per day is a terrible idea.
You stopped reading too soon. The very next sentence in TFA: "This pricing is only for regions that do not have a Prime subscription service already available."
What we're seeing is fad diet marketing applied to the global climate.
Unfortunately, the promise of a quick, easy solution often wins over long term behavior modification and self-control, even when it causes harm in the long term. Expect a plethora of expensive solutions which might appear to provide some benefit if you look at the data just right, but which actually make things worse. At best, they'll cause directly observable harm and be quickly abandoned. At worst, it will appear to work and people will stop worrying about emissions, allowing all progress we've made towards sustainable emissions to be rolled back in the name of profit (although it will be called progress).
I don't think you understand what punitive damages are. Fining someone more than the amount of profit they made or damage they did is literally the definition of punitive.
Also, didn't he basically just treat a "We'd like to do this thing?" as a "It's a done deal, I'm signing this now." for an air traffic control overhaul?
Not exactly. He proposed that we give up on air traffic control and let the airlines handle it themselves because corporations good, governments bad.
The senate panel that reviewed his proposal didn't even put it up for a vote because they knew it would fail.
But there's probably more to the story, since 1oF increase in temperature increases the volume of Mercury by 1 part in 10,000. Did this play into it? No one knows.
Actually, we do know. That "multiplied everything by 4" was due to the introduction of the mercury thermometer, which allowed for more accurate measurements than the alcohol thermometers that had been used previously.
Fahrenheit increased the numerical scale to match the resolution of his measurements for the same reason he rounded off numbers before; he preferred using integers.
That page does a nice job of explaining in simple terms why we don't have perfect models, but it does not make any claims about the amount of error in any given model. It does not support the argument that you're trying to make.
A security professional is the person who has to argue with management that the cheapest hardware and software are insecure, then has to somehow make them secure after management ignores everything they said, then gets the blame when the company's systems get hacked.
Basically, they're hired on as the red headed stepchild, then ushered out as the scapegoat.
Why the fuck would anyone in their right mind want that as their career?
I dont believe Coinbase should be denying access to legitimate funds, that arent terrorism related
Nothing in the summary or story says anything about denying access to his funds. You just sort of pulled that out of nowhere.
This is a story about a company that doesn't want to work with a guy who profits off of ransom payments (you didn't think he was doing this for free, did you?).
Maybe not directly, but Autism is strongly correlated with most of those things... except maybe the meth.
Citation needed. I challenge you to find a single study showing that any of those things correlates with autism. Especially the sleeping 10 hours one, because autism actually fucks up your ability to sleep.
Eh... I think the main point is actually here: "The agency didn't provide an estimate of how much time is currently spent on Y2K paperwork, but Linda Springer, an OMB senior adviser, acknowledged that it isn't a lot since those requirements are already often ignored in practice. "
Trump just agreed that it's okay for everyone to not file the reports they were already not filing. This is a non-story that shouldn't have garnered any attention or discussion.
Autism has nothing to do with celibacy, using meth, running around naked outside, sleeping 10 hours a night and not eating beans because nobody understands what glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency is, so your first possibility is distinctly unlikely.
Your second possibility, on the other hand, is absolutely on point.
We wouldn't want them to steal our state of the art Ms. Pac Man playing AI. Our Atari 2600 high scores are safe for a while longer thanks to our government!
Being fired isn't a penalty? Because the article mentions being fired for having too many points.
But hey, since you want more details, here's how Wal-Mart's point system works (or worked about a year ago when I was dating a woman who worked for them):
If you call in at least an hour in advance...
working less than half a shift is a 1 point.
working less than a full shift but more than half is 1/2 point. If you don't call in at least an hour in advance, being absent is 4 points.
For the first 6 months, employees are fired if they gain 4 points. After 6 months, they're fired at 9 points in any 6 month rolling period.
Even before you reach the 4/9 point limit, however, they can assign you "coaching", which is basically a disciplinary writeup by another name. It stays in your record and can be used to justify reducing your hours, denying raises, denying promotions, etc.

If defective batteries were proof of God, the question would have been settled with the Galaxy Note 7 last year.

Do you have an android phone? Some sick bastard made a Clippy app that puts the little fucker on your phone.
I think you misread those stories.

If you're going to be pedantic, at least do it right.
Exactly 90% failure rate would mean that there are nine failures per success, not tens of failures per success.
More than 90% does not preclude tens of failures per success, but it doesn't preclude hundreds of failure per success either.

Apparently the Choose Your Own Adventure books were just too damn difficult for some people, so we're remaking them as movies.

There was that $586 million settlement and the FTC adding prohibitions against telemarketers using those services.
But they... that was Obama era stuff. I'm sure it'll be rolled back as quickly as possible in the name of helping "small businesses"
