"But Walmart has said its average worker earns $17.55 an hour with wages and benefits."
From the people I know that work at Walmart, I suspect their "average worker" statement has to include management and executives because the people on the floor and running the cashier, and stocking, and cart collectors, etc, definitely do not reach $17.55, much less have that as an "average" pay.
At approximately 120,000,000 rods, which do not sense color, if it were a convenient square arrangement, that would be a bit less than 11k x 11k. Cones, which do detect color are only around 6 or 7 million in quantity. Using the 7 million number, that would make a matrix of a bit less than 2.65k x 2.65k.
Locke2005s statement is in between those numbers, so he's not exactly right or wrong, but it's not bullshit at all.
Looks like the anonymous coward had no idea how crappy the resolution of human eyes actually are.
As nobody has actually built a "lie detector" that is significantly more effective than random chance, and yes that includes the polygraph, those "researchers" are fooling themselves. Even the inventor of the polygraph agrees that it's just b.s.
Are we sure these people aren't actually from North Korea? You know, the place where "researchers" have claimed to have found a Magical Unicorn Cave, and have perfected human cloning, and so many other absurd claims.
Not fast than light, but light with a greater amount of energy, so that it imparts more energy to a light sail enabling the craft to accelerate faster and reach relativistic speeds. (Speeds that approach light speed.)
My prescription is so bad that I was restricted to polymer lenses of the small size only, since I was a teen. Even if surgery doesn't fully correct my eyes, the ability to walk into a room without having to know in advance where the carpet colored chair and footstools are to avoid tripping would be an asset.
That's so cute how you to try to turn a statement of 'probably, but I don't have recordings or paperwork of it', into a 'nope didn't do it'. You really should include the entire question and reply in that, otherwise you're just twisting what was said.
I've been trying to locate the exact clip I saw of it, but there's way too much noise to the signal at this time. I also tried going through the entire testimony but I keep falling asleep trying to listen to that horribly long video, and as to a transcript, I still haven't found a full transcript that doesn't want me to pay them for a subscription to their site. (Found transcripts from previous testimony, and tons of the opening statement, but none of the actual testimony yet that I can get ahold of.) I prefer transcripts over video since it's easy to do a search for keywords, and easy to skip over the really stupid grandstanding by the idiots that aren't even on topic just by skimming. Not really things that video or audio recordings allow.
So if someone else is lucky enough to know the exact and entire clip (or a link to the exact timing of the question in the full video), or can locate it somehow that would be great.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a lung infection and have to take a breathing treatment now, and have already wasted enough time on this anyway. Thanks for reading.
I know of a one shot cure that will have dramatic effects. Take all those Goldman Sachs Analysts that would rather not have effective cures especially the ones that don't have reoccurring treatments, and line then up in a row. Now go to the end of the row, and use a very powerful and high caliber gun, possibly an anti-tank weapon, and one shot should cure the entire issue of that kind of evil greed for at least an entire generation.
Sure, unless it kills you, deafens you, causes brain damage, or kills your fetus if you are pregnant. Other than that it's just an inconvenience. Little facts like the 400-500 deaths each year before we had vaccinations for the measles, and the fact that 1 in 4 measles infections result in hospitalization is completely fine. Eating a twinkie has those kinds of effects, right? So just remember about that Anonymous Cowards conspiracy theory about a harmless disease. It's not like anyone actually gets hurt or anything... (/sarcasm)
Regarding the recent outbreak in Washington: Three of the infected they could not verify if they'd been vaccinated or not. Two of them had only had the first dose and not the second. All the rest were NOT vaccinated. This information was accurate as of last week, but measles is very contagious and it's likely there have been more cases since the initial investigation.
"But Facebook told the Post Wednesday that by not deleting the pseudoscience, they're actually giving their users an opportunity to speak up on their own and share factual counter-arguments themselves. "
Yeah, that's like saying you won't ban poisonous vipers from the airline because they might proved the antivenom themselves...
Sure, at one time companies might move to a site permanently if there are "incentives", but that's not true anymore. Now it's shop for the best incentives, and when those run out jump to someplace else for more incentives. Even worse, they then write off the site they dumped on taxes for even more of a bonus. From the viewpoint of the companies, staying in one place is financially stupid.
Scientist try not to speculate on things that aren't supported by current data and models, so when something unexpected happens, they are obviously surprised. They aren't shocked, yelling Eureka, having their entire worldviews damaged, or any of the other hysteria that media seems to want you to think happened.
They also try to damp down assumptions that aren't based in facts so they certainly don't expect unicorns and rainbow-poop, leave that for the wackjobs and conmen. Scientists intentionally limit themselves to expecting what is known, so if something outside that range happens, it's a surprise.
They're just surprised. Like when you walk into the kitchen and your wife is there, but you thought she went to the store 10 minutes ago. It's not a big deal. When it comes to scientist, the first thing they like to do when surprised in scientific experiments is to try and verify that they didn't screw it up! Also to make sure that there is no failure of the equipment.
Then they throw it out for their colleagues to figure out where they screwed up since they can't seem to find it yet.
This is around the point where they start getting excited, because if it's shown they didn't screw up, they've found something unexpected, and for scientists, that is exciting! Something like that can overturn old science, or even open up entirely new branches of science. THIS is what they live for!
There's nothing sinister, stupid, ignorant, or even egotistical about this at all. The fact that apparently some people seem to think it is just shows that there are people out there that don't understand how the scientific principle and research actually works. They've also probably been influenced by 'reporters' that hype up and distort all this stuff. Those people rarely understand what's being discussed, and they just want to hype reactions for the public, so they make a big deal out of it without even understanding it. So the next time you see an article exclaiming that scientists are shocked or surprised at some new thing, just hit the actual science sites and see if the scientists are actually talking about it a lot, or if they're just giving it a luke warm reception, if they're even discussing it at all. In other words, stop listening to the chicken little with the microphone, and look to the responsible adults actually working on the situation.
Heck, I've used a program that lets my network card pretend it's a half dozen other cards each with their own mac. I used to use it to get around those super slow access places that only let you download one file at a time at the snails pace of less than 2k. If the site supported segment downloads, then I'd have it split the file between the addresses, and if not, I'd have each one downloading a different file.
Of course, finding spoofing software for your phone might be more difficult, but they do exist. And since you don't seem to understand how encryption works, it prevents 3rd parties from reading the contents, but there is no such restriction on the sender or the intended receiver of said data. After all, wtf do you think does the encryption in the first place?
When the government won't obtain funds to build and maintain infrastructure and other things the public needs, they pretty much don't exist in the first place. Of course, if complete morons that can't even avoid bankrupting multiple businesses have a finger in the financial pie, it will invariable turn into a shit pie.
Actually the scientists have no more stake in this than the average person on the street. The discovery and verification, as well as measurement and projected results of anthropomorphic climate change is merely a result of their research and not a cause of them. You are confusing the cart for the horse. The climatologists, as well as the other scientists, neither gain nor lose from the results of their work, and their work will continue without regard for those findings. If you study fish population and type by taking underwater pictures of a pond, it doesn't matter to you or your study one single bit if you find pictures of trout, catfish, bass, goldfish, or shrimp! Yeah, shrimp isn't technically a fish, but it can certainly be photographed, and would probably indicate some drastic change in the pond if it used to just be pictures of bluegills for years, and this month it's nothing but shrimp.
As to money... Ever look at a research scientists salary? The only climatologists driving Cadillacs are the ones who inherited them. Speaking of "follow the money", you really should. All the funding for climatology in the entire world is still chump change from petty cash for even a single oil company. You know, the people that would get the biggest hit to their wallet if something like climate change were accepted by regulators and the public... So I guess I have to reinforce this statement for you: FOLLOW THE FOSSIL FUEL MEGABUCKS NOT THE RESEARCHERS SMALL CHANGE!!!
Now of course there's still another point you don't seem to realize. Scientists don't collude. A handful may work together on an occasional project, but the way they make their bones is by proving other scientists wrong! What the F do you think peer review is all about? It's not some mutual masturbation society or anything like that, they TRY to disprove each others work, constantly! That's actually part of their jobs! Why the heck do you think they place such a high priority on releasing data and basically just blow off anything that doesn't release the data? Because it's harder than hell to disprove something without the data, and you can't honestly back something that lacks the data either. Put a dozen scientist in a room together, and they'll come up with 20 different hypothesis and collectively disprove 37 of them! Yeah, the math doens't seem to work out, but those guys really work hard to prove each other wrong...
By the way, when it comes to climate change, they've got the data. They've got mountains of data that supports it. You literally do not even have a hard drive with enough raw storage to hold all the relevant data they've collected over the last century. Hell, over the last 20 years! And yes, strangely enough, we have scientific data on the climate the precedes the launching of man made satellites. Ever hear of a barameter, or thermometer, or a rain guage, not to mention all the other instruments in the average weather station... Yeah, the satellites let us fill in certain types of data from more of the world that historically had little to no data, but that doesn't mean that it didn't exist. With claims like your's, you'd think the entire series of Xanth novels never exist until after the last one was printed. NOTHING works like that. By the way, we have data on temperatures and climate due to cooperations from many fields of science, and rather than it just being one point, they have many that corroborate the results, so they can be highly rated as to reliability. I could list them here with their basics, but even the ones I know about would double the size of this huge post, at the very least. Nobody in the sciences is pulling numbers out their ass.
Ah the hockey stick. Yes, the arguments against it are a pretty poor con job. You see, the presenters showing the uptick just showed one nice and obvious segment for the data adverse and scientifically stupid (tv presents and politicians, not to mention high school rejects). That wasn't fake, it was just an easy to understand and recognize examp
You don't seem to understand a number of things involved here. I'll point out just a small selection of things you've overlooked or apparently don't understand. We aren't bringing them in, they are bringing themselves, so we don't get to pick and chose from another countries elite, we have to accept or deny from the pool that is making itself available. Second, they are immigrants. This means that things have gotten bad enough for them where they live they are willing to give up their homes, which may be ancestral, their extended families, their friends, their entire lives, to go to someplace where they think things will give them a better chance at life. The rich, the powerful, and those that are reasonably comfortable are almost never immigrants. Immigrants tend to come from places of turmoil where life isn't all that sure. Maybe it's because of a corrupt government, or out of control crime, an ongoing war, suffering from famine, or any of a thousand other horrible situations. Those kinds of places don't have good credit scores for most of the people, if any. Then there's the entire thing about opportunity. We have far more opportunities for people to prosper than exist in those places of turmoil. Try making a living as a doctor in a country where the hospitals keep getting blown up and if you even get a paycheck every couple of months for a weeks work you're lucky. Or a writer where nobody can afford to buy the books. Those people will also look horrible on a credit check, and yet they can certainly thrive in a place like the US. Then there are all those other people who can also do great here, but couldn't in their own country because of lack of opportunity or other issues. Among them is being too damn busy dodging the press gangs of both the government and the rebels or criminals trying to bolster their forces. You just have no idea WHY their credit looks like shit, other than the fact that they have just left their homes, and possibly a large chunk of their assets they couldn't bring with them (real estate among them) to go to another country. Did you know that doing such a thing is a BIG hit on your credit score?
Hell, if you want to base their eligibility on their credit score, you might as well go by penis length and breast size since you think they can always fall back to making porn.
It will fail because of corruption. They already have more than enough corruption to taint it now, this will only compound it. Then there are the errors that will always creep in. It's a guaranteed self destructing system, the only question being how long can they keep it looking like it's working correctly, or at least good enough.
The AC didn't say Kashoggi was a US Citizen, he stated correctly that Kashoggi was a US Resident. You don't have to stay in the US 100% of the time to be a legal US Resident. After all, he was both a reporter, and someone with lots of contacts both business and personal in the middle east. This is basically someone that has their permanent residence in this country legally, but hasn't become a citizen yet. It takes time and effort to become a US citizen. His being one of our residents, makes his torture and murder an issue we can't just ignore. He was a journalist, and since we have and espouse freedom of the press, it's an issue we can't just ignore. That he was tortured and murdered by a country we do significant business with, we can't just ignore this issue. The fact that a human was tortured and murdered in a most foul method is an issue we just can't ignore.
Of course if someone has no compassion, doesn't care at all for justice, and couldn't care less about our ideals or the Constitution, then feel free to knock yourself out and do absolutely nothing about such a despicable and inhuman act and let them think they can keep doing it to whomever they want.

Of course what we all want to know is what kind of computer and graphics card specs do we need to run that at a minimum of 60 fps?
At approximately 120,000,000 rods, which do not sense color, if it were a convenient square arrangement, that would be a bit less than 11k x 11k.

ANYTHING
