If you start making it very tempting to steal, I'm not sure you've caught a bad guy - just a person who wasn't thinking right in the heat of the moment.
scheduled for 1-2 hours less that full time to avoid paying for their health insurance
Which is exactly what we predicted when congress passed ObamaCare, requiring full time employees be covered. Well, now we have a bunch of professions that no longer work full time, simply because idiots can't figure out how their stupid ideas would be handled by businesses.
Where on earth did you get the idea that the current situation isn't exactly what was intended:
Liberal moron masses believing Congress had done something for them, like conservative business owners got to cut costs while pretending they're the victims.
And Democrats in Congress getting lots of donations for reelection from said liberal moron masses to try to "fix the problem" (which, if it ever got fixed, nobody would donate to their reelection funds again, so they will never try to actually fix it), and Republicans in Congress getting lots of donations from their business owning masters to keep things just the way they are.
I would suggest that they don't actually have to have every actually planted any fake packages, because 99.999% of the benefit of the whole idea is in the story that they do.
If they're clever enough to plant fake packages, and clever enough to "accidentally" let it slip they're doing so as a deterrent, they're likely clever enough to put a hidden camera in the truck, which will record the driver bringing the package they claim to have just delivered back to the truck.

With no attempt to distinguish between cause and effect. I suspect that people who use such devices live healthier lives anyway, since the primary motivation for these devices seems to be bragging rights.
I take responsibility for my life by refusing to use tracking devices that communicate with companies that show no evidence of being able to spelldata security, much less actually implement it.
Particularly since, which the insurance company is bound by HIPPA laws, Fitbit is not.
This will last until the first breach, which is inevitable.
Nothing wrong with digital. Just make sure you get a download file that either doesn't have DRM or can be stripped of it, that isn't in a closed, proprietary format so you can access it with software from someone other than the seller.
I expect that if you read the terms of service (you do read that, before you click "OK"buying anything, you are renting it, anybody who doesn't understand that needs a keeper.
Frontier is special, even in real of Evil Empire corporations. They are the worst phone company in the world, and always have been. Their takeover of Verizon's landline business was a disaster. It made service as bad as the areas they already had.
If Frontier is against it, then I'm for it, regardless of what "it" is.
There's a special place in Hell for Frontier, and it's a management position.
Apparently, iceberg towing away from things (oil rigs, mostly) is pretty routine, and mature technology. Towing them to somewhere is a difference in scale only.
But history suggests this is mostly just another way of extracting money from gullible investors.
There's nothing shocking about it. China's economy has been a house of cards for several decades. The only reason it looks sustainable is that all of the information outsiders see on it is fiction (or propaganda) written by the government. But they can't keep that up any more, and when it cracks, it will collapse. And they know it. They only hope they have of winning is to bluff, and convince Trump to blink (which isn't going to happen, because he understands it as well as they do). They can't keep their house of cards from collapsing until he's out of office.
But they do need to play tough guy for a while first, to keep their own people from catching on. Eventually, Trump will throw them a bone - something he never actually expected - of a concession, and they'll cough up 99.99% of everything he's been demanding.
As much of a clown as he is, on this subject, he's on track, and he's got China by the balls.
is the cause of accidents. They talk about people injured by mechanical failures, and undoubtedly those occur.
But no mention of what percentage is caused by that, what percentage caused by rider error (which is likely rather higher) and what percentage is caused by other drivers (since it's illegal to ride these things on the sidewalk, which means you're in a bicycle lane or on the street). Most motorcycle accidents are cause by drivers of cars who never saw the bike. I suspect the same is true on these toys.
But let's not let facts get in the way of any propaganda! There's money to be made, selling advertising to outrage monkeys.
You have it backwards. According to the peer reviewed research, at speeds below 35 mpg, helmets are the rider's best friend. Above that, and the weight of the helmet becomes a serious risk of breaking the rider's neck, so the only real benefit is an increased chance of an open casket funeral.
People riding these things should play by the same rules as a motorcyclist.

The meth lab might be problematic, though.

The word for such a person is "thief."
The only thing you've ever stolen from anyone is the shit stain in your shorts when you were typing that BS.
Companies that treat their employees like shit generally only have shit employees.
Loyalty is inherently a two way street. If it only goes one way, it's not loyalty, it's gullibility.

Win/win for everybody that matters.

Cryptocurrencies offer nothing but themselves as the product,
Isn't that literally the definition of a Ponzi scam?

Actually, when ice floating in water melts, the overall water level does not change at all. That's how flotation and water displacement work.
Your 3rd grade child can demonstrate for you, in your kitchen, with an ice cube and a red plastic cup.
Anybody who tells you otherwise is looking for investment dollars, but has nothing to sell.
You're off by an order of magnitude. The earliest documented proposal is from 1825.

Can somebody translate that into a language that actually has complete sentences, with capitalization and punctuation?
Most motorcycle accidents are cause by drivers of cars who never saw the bike.
No, they're caused by reckless driving,
Not according to statistics from accident investigators.
That the cops don't enforce the law doesn't change what the law is.
The article, however, is about California (Santa Monica), where, as far as I know, it's illegal to ride them on the sidewalk.

I though the Left wanted to require all criminals to be identified as "Republicans."

Hollywood accounting is for hiding profits.
If there aren't any profits be cause nobody will watch your drek, there's no profits to hide.
