From TFA: "Most of the money would go to compensate 482,000 owners" and "$1,000 to $7,000 depending on their cars' age, with an average payment of $5,000"
Not sure about the rest of you but I get $21K per owner when I divide that out, not $5K.
Stop putting junk mail (literal trash, it goes right in the bin) into my mailbox!
You seem oblivious to the fact that the post office is only financially viable due to the money they make off bulk mailed advertising. Stopping the junk mail would mean increasing your taxes to offset it.
It probably isn't exaggerated at all, you just have to understand the terms involved. Right there in the first sentence it clearly states "gross fares". Of course this number is going to be higher, and probably a lot higher, than "net pay". Basic finance fail for anyone who thought someone bragging about workers' gross contribution to company balance sheet was going to vaguely resemble employees' personal income.
The problem is, B and A can barely fit these ships
One of the biggest problems is that if B is located in Los Angeles or San Diego, the longshoremen's union will beat up anyone who suggests the port facilities be redesigned with more automation and less longshoremen in order to handle the new ships' capacities in a reasonable amount of time.
but you will inevitable have a bunch of angry people that get sniped out of their tickets at the last minute
Sniping only happens on eBay and similar where bids are shown and the timer counts down. Bid what you are willing to pay for tickets, not what you are hoping to get away with, and the system should not show what the competing bids are other than some floor price.
There's no need to do anything to prevent almost all resales other than to simply auction the tickets in the first place. When the highest bidder has bought the ticket there isn't much room left for increasing the price for a scalper's profit.
Typically, to combat this, the intake will have a snorkel attached to it and that will be as high as possible, thus preventing water entry into the intake
I thought those snorkels were just to look tough driving around the city on sunny days. That's where I typically see them in use.
IF the storage vendor can qualify as HIPAA complaint
There's no qualification or certification or anything for HIPAA. It's just a legal and regulatory set of requirements. Most (not all) of the major health insurers have suffered data theft and they're all covered by HIPAA. When it happens they get a fine and some news coverage and the data is out in the wild anyway. The same goes for this outfit doing the data storage on AWS.
It's not that Libertarians are anticooperative, it's that they're too absolutist to hold their noses long enough to work inside one of the main parties.
If the Libertarians wanted any real influence, they'd declare one of the primary parties candidates as theirs and support him/her. Then after the election if that candidate won and say 'we delivered x votes to put you over the top, you owe us, here's what we want you to support'. As it is, all they do is suck just enough votes away to swing the election from one primary party candidate to the other which just irritates the other parties and doesn't make any friends.
The "Federal" Reserve is a *private* bank whose purpose is entirely self-serving
A common misconception. The Federal Reserve is an independent entity of the federal government, similar to the USPS: See "Who owns the Fed": http://www.federalreserve.gov/...
It's always amazing to see this claim that the government has a right to everyone's income and any reduction in the tax code is therefore other people's money. No, it's their money and the government is just charging them less tax. The point in question is whether they get to keep that portion of their own money with or without a drug test. Not whether or not they get other people's money with or without a drug test.
So what resources are the "poor" denied that the "rich" have access to? I sure hope you aren't talking about tax breaks because if the "poor" had money, they sure could make use of them.
While it's nearly impossible to avoid paying payroll taxes which are itemized for programs like Medicare and Social Security, 43% of the lower income don't pay federal income tax. A fair amount of those get a "rebate" check due to the alternative minimum income. So unless you want to start cutting down on their payroll taxes, there's no income tax to give a tax break on for the poor.
They feel differently when it's a Western company "violating" a Chinese company's patent.
Especially when the President of that Western company's country just had a meeting with a political enemty of the Chinese goverment. It's all about petty revenge.
The software already exists - it's called an INVENTORY/LOGISTICS SYSTEM. Any basic fucking warehouse has one.
Oh, but this time, WEED IS INVOLVED! That's worth a patent, right?
Give me a fucking break.
You underestimate how much work is involved in redoing all the UI with a psychedelic slow motion background and postfixing all the dialog box texts with ", man."
But an Olympics extravaganza is a microcosm of stimulus spending by government. All that money is not heaped in a pile and lit on fire, even the money used for the meteor shower the article is about. All that money goes towards jobs and construction. That throwing tax money into construction and related jobs turns out to be an inefficient, if not outright failed, way to stimulate prosperity should be no surprise to anyone except a Keynesian.

i turn the TV on in the morning but it gets ignored all day, i just like having some background music/noise.
A typical TV draws a staggering amount of power to just run it all day for background music and noise.
too dumb to decide their own future.
Too dumb or too apathetic until after the fact? Population of UK: ~63 million. Number of ballots cast: ~30 million

They are going to build an OS which can compete with android as a contingency? and then what sell it to Microsoft?
No, they'll code in security back doors and automatic user monitoring and get the Chinese government to outlaw Android in favor of their system.

I hate rider bills totally unrelated to the primary bill just to get some nasty thing passed that can't get passed on its own.
the Rust community is a safe space free of intolerance and prejudice, too
As evidenced by how their shills start off with "Goddammit, people..."

Unless your daughter has a condition that requires very specific knowledge
Then it would be even worse to risk having one's health data stolen. Imagine when she's grown up and is surruptitiously denied employment over it.
