The design requirements are due to be finalized this summer.
I can almost guarantee the project will be years over schedule and billions over budget because, no, the design requirements were not actually "finalized" and city managers with enough clout constantly interrupt development with additional feature requests.
I'm kind of surprised these demands do not result in the immediate termination of employment. Or is WA not a state where that can happen?.
MS has a generous employee stock purchase program so likely these employees are (minor) shareholders and perfectly within their rights to "demand" this kind of thing. Executive leadership is equally free to completely ignore them unless they can get a sizeable block of shareholders on their side.
Can you imagine a fund in your 401K funding this frivolity, this literal SHIT SHOW - and yes I wrote shit because she would bring in her non-toilet trained dog and allow it to shit in the board room.Private jets. Insane spending on rent, office....I don't care who you are and how rich you could make my investors be, there have to be limits. This is beyond what is acceptable.Insanity.
If you're quite finished with your rant, Theranos was never publicly traded so no 401K fund would have bought it.
Read is apparently unaware of past legal precedent indicating that the federal government has the legal ability to regulate pollutants
California's state legislature regularly passes laws regarding pollutants, so do several others. This "apparently unaware" dig is just a form of ad hominem attack.
From the CNN Finance summary: "Institutional investors hold a majority ownership of AMZN through the 57.75% of the outstanding shares that they control. This interest is also higher than at almost any other company in the Internet Retail industry."
Not necessarily. Plastic is a category of materials based on their mechanical properties. Specifically, their plasticity.
I think you illustrated my point perfectly - step one is the legislature writes up a law and gets it signed by the executive. Step two however is when said law is converted into actual legal code for enforcement. If the bureaucrats define "plastic" as a petroleum by-product (the stuff that takes ages to decompose that is the concern here) then you're all set. If they define "plastic" as a material based on its plasticity then the biodegradable corn based, etc, replacements are all banned too.
It's a great idea so long as they still permit compostables. Compostable plastics are produced from renewable sources, so they even have the potential to be carbon-neutral. They do have to be tested to make sure they only break down into harmless compounds, though. We should be doing this everywhere.
Compostable packaging stuff isn't plastic - which is a petroleum by-product. So make sure the law in question is written to not accidentally exclude it. Also be careful that the law doesn't neglect to ban Styrofoam packaging which isn't much used but is a substitute or else they'll just get the same problem in a different form.
The BBC fee works because they have guys driving around with Ariel detection vans. If they didn't, most people wouldn't pay..
Well obviously it would have to be a case of everyone subscribes whether they want to or not and whether they used it or not. Like your local public library. The part I don't get is how is the power plant supposed to figure out how much load is needed in the system if the electricity just flies off into the air with no hard way to tell if it's being used. I think there would be nonstop brownouts.
What Tesla got wrong was that there is no way in such a system to extract payments from users, hence his capitalist backers bailed out before Tesla could demonstrate the soundness of his conjectures.
Years back I tried an experiment: put a domain name in a browser and not no response. Went to GoDaddy to register it and was told it was taken. Tried in the browser again and got a 'this address is for sale!' banner and an email to the address I had given GD offering to sell it to me within minutes. GD pretty much exists to suck up domain names people submit and then try to sell their idea back to them.
Just refuse to convict next time you're on a jury. Or better yet, tell them no, you cannot follow the law because it isn't just. That really gets their attention, and there isn't anything they can do about it because you aren't the convict.
It would be a sad abuse of that power if you used it not because of the particular case but because you didn't like some aspect of the penal system.

and put it in the hands of the trolls. Great idea! I can't wait to see the result...
No need to wait. Browse this site at -1 and you'll get the idea pretty quick.
His name was Hitler and he knew what was right and what was wrong.

He was a Johnny-come-lately imitator to book banning politicians. That list starts in the mid 1500's about a year after moveable type was invented.

I support freedom of speech, even for scum like this.
What happened to "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" ? Sad that you label everyone interested in WW2 history as "scum".
This editorializing doesn't help:

NIST's latest guidelines say passwords should be at least eight characters long
I tried "at least eight characters long" but it said passwords could not contain spaces.
a 2011 privacy consent decree with the agency, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is private
Is the investigation of privacy consent decree violations covered by the privacy consent decree? WTF?!? Who writes these regulations?!?
What kind of bizarre prize packaging is that? If you win 72 mil, the last thing you'd care about is any particular car tossed in.

Mandatory subscriptions. Works for the BBC.
You have to do this to protect against illegal aliens.
One wonders exactly how aliens would apply for visas.
WTF is a "shopper" in this context? Normally that's a customer but they seem to be using it to mean employee...
You can buy a knock-off Benz on Amazon?
Peddling fake Benz hubcaps on Amazon is big business.
they're just going to have to bite the bullet on maintaining and selling their own inventory and be less wild west "marketplace".
...because you need 1) stable, accountable government 2) increasing wealth out of poverty conditions

It is, and it would break every VOIP system out there which can set its own Caller ID.
Double edge swords cut both ways.
Why didn't IPv6 fix this?? :(
But they give inoculations to politicians and the people read into the program like the pilots
This is too funny! Inoculate the people who are going +500mph directly away from where the stuff is supposedly spraying out.
They frequently outsource the design too
The label on the back of Apple products is always careful to proclaim "Designed in California (made in China)"
