Ultimately. the problem is, there just aren't enough people to create the endless growth that the greedy corporate overlords demand.
Facebook's next big push will be selling a line of condoms with holes in them. Call 'em wiffle condoms. Maybe team up with the Vatican to promote Catholicism too. Problem solved.
You're making the argument from personal ignorance and not reading the summary. This complaint isn't about people's cars they use for Uber. It's about Uber's own owned car fleet that they rent to drivers. While I tend to think the ADA is too much of a burden, lying about the issue at hand doesn't help.
one would tend to think that the actual number of handicapped stalls in use in a lot at any given time is going to be similarly roughly proportional to the total number of cars in the lot, that is, the more other cars there are in the lot, the more handicapped stalls will tend to be used as well.
Why would you think that? The times normal parking spots are full are based on people's work schedules. The handicapped are much more likely to be unemployed or self-employed... and moreover, crowds are particularly difficult if you're a slow mover so you're going to purposely avoid going to stores at the times they're most busy. It makes perfect sense that the disabled spots are all empty at a time when it would be very difficult for a disabled person to safely shop.
The bottom line is that the unemployment rate in Seattle is 3.1% (compared to 5.2% in Washington as a whole), and has actually been going down as the minimum wage increases have taken effect. Clearly the high minimum wage is not leading to massive unemployment as the service industry shutters all businesses and people beg for jobs on the street.
No, its the minimum wage that did it. Illegals wouldnt have an advantage attaining these low skill jobs if they didnt also have an advantageous wage.
No, it was the abolition of slavery that did it. Slaves had a guaranteed job with food and shelter. Now their descendants are unemployed because they're so uppity that they refuse to be whipped. Fortunately illegals can be exploited at near-slavery levels with no pesky regulations, and even bought and sold by human traffickers, so we have a decent replacement for slavery at last. If unemployed people want a job, they should renounce their citizenship and become illegal migrants to join that highly successful labor market.
they'd post all over facebook about how they got ripped off and thus ending the problem once and for all.
Are most people really going to tell everyone that they paid off a criminal organization? No, they're going to be ashamed of that (and perhaps worried that it's illegal) and pretend that part didn't happen.
"State-sponsored" already means the government outsourcing it to citizens and paying for it, so the treaty is saying they won't do that. Of course it's quite possible China will break the treaty. But if Canada already planned to not hack Chinese companies for economic espionage, then what do they have to lose from the treaty? Nothing.
The problem is, google is the last instant messenger to go full evil. Everybody else that anybody uses already has, so there's nowhere left to talk to people.
Who's at fault? Probably the common user, who demands evil. They actually want to chat through today's trendy weird proprietary phone app, not open protocols.
Your forest fire example is problematic, because we're still constantly engineering forests with controlled burns -- setting fires because we've learned the benefits of fires. It's not as if the solution was to leave the forest alone.
Weather control is a lot more common in more places than people realize. Here in northern California, a local utility company SMUD routinely seeds clouds to increase rain over their hydroelectric dams. That's in a wet forested region, and simply because they find it improves their power generation by a few percent, not because it'll run dry otherwise.
And do we really want a solution that requires constant intervention?
Yes, we do -- because the fact that it requires constant intervention invalidates all of your fears. If something goes wrong, all we have to do is stop constantly intervening.
And it's not like we don't have experience with much more dangerous world-wide uncontrolled things like this -- we spent a long time pumping CFCs into the atmosphere which reflected sunlight, observed the damage, and have been fairly successfully trying to make everyone stop. It's a lot easier when you don't have to fight industry to stop. No harm in a study which evaluates whether this method is dangerous like CFCs were.
Even if we completely ignore the idea that further shots can be prevented, arriving quickly at a location where someone has been shot is obviously the best way to save their life. Bullets are not nuclear weapons that vaporize people on impact, about 90% of people who are shot live and we can save more of that last 10% with quicker action.
How many people think it's fun to cause a bunch of armed and anxious police officers to quickly converge on their own location? Seems like a self-correcting problem.
Fortunately church "charities" are still able to use the old "convert or die" system in Africa. It's so sad that it's getting harder in the west for churches and the wealthy to control and exploit people in exchange for generously offering them a chance to live.
Most of the people who are against universal healthcare are creationists (who also paradoxically describe themselves as pro-life, but their pro-life stance stops at birth).
There is no possible legitimate reason for a driver to be holding a cell phone at a red light. The drivers behind you do not want to have to hit their horn to make you move when the light changes, nor do we want to bet our lives on the idea that you'll definitely release the phone when you start driving. You're impeding traffic at best, attempting murder at worst. Powering down the phone is simply a trick people do when they see the cop coming to try to get out of a ticket, so of course it's illegal.

You've both managed to be wrong. A quick google shows that about 20-25% of USA domestic cats are declawed.
It's a factor, but you're exaggerating. Research suggests 48 percent of children with overweight parents become overweight, compared with 13 percent of those with normal-weight parents.

Actually, even with randomized lesser hours you can do more online home odd jobs work.
It's the only incentive for ransomware. If a malware author/distributor is motivated by other things, they write/distribute other kinds of malware.

There are tons of free alternatives. The problem is an IM client that your friends aren't on is worthless, and advertising costs a lot of money.

It's the same first stage. They also billed it as the first rocket to land on both their Atlantic and Pacific drone ships.

The problem is it's a way to keep the people with the compromised machines from becoming aware that they have compromised machines.
That's the point. If you hang up before it goes to voicemail, because you've counted the rings, then no charge.
