not difficult since the EU have already legislated maximum wattage ratings for vacuum cleaners, kettles, space heaters, boilers, immersion heaters and shower units.
Which makes not a lick of sense since you just end up using the appliance for longer to get the same fuckin' result. Carbon footprint remains the same.
These would be the same tools who mandated the use of CCFL lights which contain mercury and white phosphorous, over incandescants which contain a chemically inert gas and a chemically inert filament inside a chemically inert container.
Don't forget the low flow toilet you have to flush three times.
The (American only?) taboo on discussing compensation simply perpetuates inequality. If it seems unfair it probably is.
Really? Every employee's self-assessment of what their salary "should" be is automatically right, or likely to be right? Every employee's assessment of what their coworker's salary "should" be is automatically right, or likely to be right?
Prices for everything else in the world should be set by supply and demand, but prices for labor should be set by water cooler wisdom, because "transparency". Got it.
These SJW articles are getting weaker and more desperate by the minute.
FromTFA:
But fresh data show that top schools are turning out black and Hispanic graduates with tech degrees at rates significantly higher than they are being hired by leading tech firms.
What's weak about that?
It's weak because it assumes, rather than demonstrates, why.
It's entirely possible that universities have a slightly different set of incentives for what they do, and they may have cranked up their numbers of protected class graduates without cranking up the quality. Companies, OTOH, have stronger incentives to find people who can actually do the job.
He doesn't have one. He's ten steps ahead of you and doesn't want your advice. He precludes you contributing positively in any way you could conceive of.
Do you really think asking someone for private medical information in a way that implies they have a mental illness is really a legitimate question for an interview, or are you just trolling?
What if it's relevant to their behavior and victimology?
There wasn't any special leap in robotics in 2008-2009.
There was a special leap in government spending though (remember the "stimulus"?). It turned a recession into a depression (which we pretend we don't have by simply declaring that non-workers are "no longer in the labor force", which is like saying I'm not fat because these pounds are no longer in my weight force).
There wasn't any giant leap in robotics in the 1930s either. There was that leap in government spending after a crash though...
Music can easily become "classic" or "folk" in a century or so.
it's not like your future great grandchildren are going to encourage you to make more music, so they can profit. Or in this case, future huge music conglomerates.
suggesting that "older" is largely a point of view rather than an absolute)
Anyone without cognitive impairment or severe physical limitations can use most common user interfaces (which is definitely not to say they can't be made more usable and efficient).
That includes many 70 year olds, and a fair number of 90 year olds.
If some guy is born one day with red eyes that let him see through the clouds and hair all over his face that protects him from the things in the atmosphere then that's going to be for nothing if no woman wants to have his kids.
Given the pairings I've been seeing lately, that shouldn't be a problem.
A small part of me wanted to see this go down, just to watch the shitstorm that resulted and see the Republicans claim that it wasn't their fault.
None of this is their fault. This whole unpopular law (among people, as opposed to elites) is the fault of Democrats.
We didn't want this, and the fact that your little provision that is designed to force states into setting up exchanges backfired on you should mean just that: that it backfired on you. You shouldn't get to have the Supreme Court rewrite the law for you to mean the opposite of what it says and of what it's architect bragged that it meant.
The actual architect of the law, as well as some other people involved with the writing, specifically stated at the time the law was being written that the purpose of the tax credit only applying to State exchanges was to force uncooperative states to comply with the law.
Well... sure, but who you gonna believe, the actual architect of the law, or today's left wing talking points?

... for taboos.
It's not like most workplaces need more reasons for friction and resentment.

why have a camera in the car to determine the color of the light when the intersection can just broadcast directly to vehicles?
Not sure I want to need a firewall and strong encryption on my car though ...
(And WTF is with the top-of-screen page refreshes now, Dice? I suspect it has something to do with the cheesy side videos...)
Cheesy side videos?
Dang, I love ScriptSafe ...
Huh? The worst polluters are the ones who drive oversized SUVs in the name of 'safety' - they're having no fun at all in their cars, I promise you.
OTOH a not-especially-polluting car can be an awful lot of fun to drive, eg. my MR2 gets about 30mpg and I don't drive it gently.
Big families in big vehicles use less fuel per person than you do. Just a thought ...

If the Royals are doing things that piss people off and thus live in fear of them, then perhaps they should stop doing those things.
Would you have provided that same advice to Charlie Hebdo? Sometimes it's the people who are pissed off that are in the wrong.
Thank you ... that should be obvious to any sentient being, but apparently isn't.
... yeah, funny, huh? The state doesn't judge itself harshly for that.
...what's the question?
He doesn't have one. He's ten steps ahead of you and doesn't want your advice. He precludes you contributing positively in any way you could conceive of.
So ... yeah. Not sure WTF.
My ears are too good for Neil Young's singing. That guy couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
That's his charm! You'd think he'd pay the streaming services to distort him even more.

... Google-fu and recognizing the right info is way more important than memorizing it. Find a way to certify that skill and we might be talking.
If power or the net goes out, I can't work on anything anyway. Code and databases rock, but they don't run on papyrus.

... by contrast, in the US they'd be fined $135,000 for refusing to publish "rainbow" posts ...
... um, yeah, that's the eerie parallel. OK.

Heck just being outted as gay, lesbian or even transsexual can bring you a lot of problem, even in western democracy like the US.
Or it can get you on the front page of every magazine, and revive your seriously fading celebrity.

You give the verbal offer and *then* do the background & reference checks?
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. WTH?
Hopefully the verdict is in before he gives notice at his old job ...
