And yet, for some reason beyond comprehension, they feel that a pumping station is a better idea than making the first ten meters of the tunnel slope slightly upwards (when looking in..), and therefore be self draining? I wonder where they got the pumps with 1000 year service life, along with the never-fail power supply. Someone dropped the ball here, luckily it would be an easy fix.. Just recut the first ten meters or so of the tunnel to slope correctly (you would gain an odd ceiling profile, but that should not matter).
Of course it will never happen, because then someone would have to admit they made a mistake..
The thing to remember is that this is pretty much all a reaction to the BREXIT vote.
As was pretty clear to anyone not jerking their knee, that vote turned into a 'do what the government/financial organisations tell you' versus 'dont do what they tell you', as we know where that ended up.
Now, the government, naturally, was horrified - people actually exercised their rights, against what they were told to do, even though they were told it would cost the people in power actual money!
So, what is the governments reaction? To do their very best to make sure that can never happen again. They want total control, which means both controlling the flow of information, and knowing everything about everyone, so they can keep the population nice and compliant. In other words, those in control are escalating, rather than learning from their mistake - they are doubling down on their losses.
The only sane solution for the general population is to double down on telling them no. Not through such ridiculous means as protest or debate, and of course not through any form of violence - that is just giving more control to those in power as they make the majority think they need more protection.
The solution is to keep doing exactly what they don't want you to - and that is voting AGAINST them, removing career politicians from office whenever and where ever possible. Unfortunately that is going to mean voting for some idiots - but the important thing to do is to vote for idiots that wont be able to hold on to power - ones who talk too much, dont have lots of friends in high places, etc.
Very sad, but thats what democracy has degenerated to - mostly because of a lack of limitations in place to stop politicians continuously growing their power.
Those in control need to know that the majority wont support their carefully crafted 'you need us, give us more power over you' story.
I would go a little stronger than that. Older patients DO prefer older doctors.
However it is MUCH more obvious even that that.
Patients WITH MORE SERIOUS ISSUES tend to be allocated to MORE EXPERIENCED (ie: odler) DOCTORS. And, more serious issues tend to have higher mortality rates. Of course, they 'adjust for severity of illness', however that is impossible to do, as not all examples of a single illness have the same risks, and the more severe cases end up with the older doctors.
A class case of correlation not being causation - something lost on a lot of younger generation researchers, it seems. After all, grabbing a few splashy headlines is MUCH more important than any actual science.
Because its not 38,000.. Its 'researchers (who want this to matter) 'estimate' it to be 38,000. Here is how this works.
They take the number of people who die from ANYTHING that can be distantly LINKED to this, and pick a number less than that. Since this is 'linked' to almost any lung condition..... (not through any actual evidence of course, just because it is 'obvious' - it probably does have an effect of course, and the magnitude is anyone's guess, because it would be impossible to actually measure..)
In fact the claims are not even correct - NOx is NOT the 'soot' that comes from diesel - the two are almost completely unrelated, and quite different in both effect and risk. this is just an attempt to cash in on 'dieselgate', whos actually effect is to reduce efficiency of diesel engines and actually increase total emissions if actually complied with (because they restrict based on percentage, not absolute output).
Let alone the fact that petrol engines actually routinely produce LARGER total amounts of NOx..
Why you ask? its easy, Diesel is a lot less profitable for suppliers. Does that make it obvious enough?
Hell, breathing oxygen is 'linked' to 60,000,000+ deaths a year... its not hard to make up stupid numbers..
Yes, and this 'investment in american manufacturing' is quite obviously not that at all.
1. Corning have no need for the money, so it is obviously not a growth investment, it is purchasing something. 2. Gorilla glass is a well understood and developed product. 3. Apple turned their back on Gorilla Glass generations ago, after a fight with Corning over pricing (Apple wanted their usual below cost pricing it seems..). 4. Apple would not even be the largest client for this particular product of Corning.
I would say it is MUCH more likely that this is Apples way of buying themselves back in to the gorilla glass game, after the long and unhappy breakup since the first iphone. It often amazes me the number of iphone users I see using phones with cracked screens because a) they break damn easily, and b) they cost so much to repair.
All in all, most certainly NOT the kind of thing the koolaid slurpers were crowing about with this fund, not even close. Corning already make some of the product in the Us, however most of it is made in Taiwan..
No, you gave up your privacy so that they could collect everything about you, so that if in the future you step out of line, they can quietly remind you about things you did previously that would be SO embarrassing if they accidentally became public.
THAT is why you gave up your freedom, never forget that.
And that works pretty much all the way up - just look at the 'friendly' foreign governments bending over backwards for the US these days - do you really think its because they think its the best thing for their country? Or perhaps they have been quietly briefed on what the media would accidentally get leaked if they dont tow the line.
After all, the US Is the world police right? And we have been nicvely educated that we have to accept corruption in the police, because, well, dont ask for reasons, its just accepted!
And if you think they will give up their toy just because its no longer officially allowed? Oh dear...
the company is operating in Austria and probably has an Austrian-registered company, meaning it is well with in the jurisdiction of austrian courts to make that order
Very good..
Now: As the company is operating in Malaysia, then the Austrians will be happy to comply with all Malaysian laws? As the company is operating in Turkey, then the Austrians will be happy to comply with all Turkish laws? As the company is operating in Russia, then the Austrians will be happy to comply with all Russian laws? As the company is operating in Saudi Arabia, then the Austrians will be happy to comply with all Saudi laws? As the company is operating in Eritrea, then the Austrians will be happy to comply with all Eritrean laws?
I would guarantee at quite a few mutually exclusive laws, for a start..
Ahh, the shill is strong in this one..... Qualcomm is licensing this very same technology across the board to a wide range of end users at the same rates. The problem is, Apple demand they should get a BETTER rate than everyone else, and there reasoning seems to be basically that most other smaller providers bend over and take it from Apple on pricing, so its only FAIR Qualcomm do also.
Care to explain how that fits in to FRAND? what part of FRAND states that Apple get BETTER pricing than the rest of an industry?
What Apple is demanding is better rights and lower prices than the rest of the industry. Basically they are used to suppliers bending over backwards to meet any price Apple demands just for the right to sell to Apple, but as Qualcomm is one of the free large enough to not need to do that, Apple are incensed. How dare Qualcomm have a backbone and tell Apple that it must fairly pay the same rates as others? To punish Qualcomm for stepping out of love, Apple violated contacts in several ways including lowering performance of Qualcomm chips artificially, and withholding payments. Then when even that didn't force Qualcomm to tug their forelock and been for forgiveness, Apple got some friends of theirs in the government to start an 'investigation' to try and force Qualcomm hand. All because Apple are being told to pay THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE.
Sorry, but you are completely wrong about student loans.
I know its very 'fashionable' to harp on that you should be able to drop them like a hot potato the week you graduate, but that would be a disaster, and in no way addresses the root problem. Why a disaster? Because graduates are graduates. A large number of them would see this as a free lunch, and jump on it, declaring bankrupcy just to clear the debt (after all, they have almost nothing to lose here..), and THEN starting building their carreer with a problem. The 'punishments' of a bankrupcy will be of little consequence to them for the immediate future. Therefore such risk in such loans will skyrocket, and availability will collapse, and interest rates will skyrocket. We would immediately see a backlash from THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WANT THIS, claiming 'only the rich can now get an education!' and we will be back to square one.
The ACTUAL problem is the bullshit worldview that everyone needs a degree. THIS is what pushes demand to stupid levels, and created this whole problem in the first place. Any sane education system has (and has respect for..) universities, technical institutes, apprenticeships, on job training, and just good old 'getting a job' as perfectly valid paths. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE. Only the more intellectual 5% should ever be going to university, and having the other 80% there only harms those top thinkers by holding them back in a sea of mediocrity. Everyone else should be pursuing much less expensive, quicker, and more useful trade training.
But no, we need to be inclusive, no ones feelings can be hurt, everyone MUST have a degree to prove what a unique and special snowflake they are.
While this is a good step, the REAL solution is to stop requiring a new edition of the textbook almost annually.
THIS is the huge scam that has created this trap for students. There is almost zero reason for these new additions, however courses often REQUIRE and actually check for them (and often have included coursework, its own scam..).
The problem? This means there is no market for the books second hand! By allowing a collusion between publishers and courses to effectively kill second hand use of the books, we end up in this situation.
So, just REQUIRE textbooks to have a minimum 5 year life (could easily be 10 years in many subjects). Refuse any textbooks that are 'licensed' (including non-transferable electronic versions). Problem solved!
Wont ever happen, people are making too much money screwing over the students, who are too young and green to avoid it.
Correct. Public sector unions should be ILLEGAL. There is really no rational argument for them at all.
They already have a direct say in their employer, its called VOTING.
The worst part is just before elections, where the public sector unions pour tons of their own members money into political parties, while at the same time trying their best to make their pay an election 'issue'.
If you want a union, work in the private sector. Believe me, its a very different world out here.
Great, so say the writers settle for an extra billion.... Now, the directors (yes, they also have a guild) want theirs.. Next, of course, the actors. Sound, Cameramen, Editors...
And we haven't even scratched the surface, those are just people working DIRECTLY on the productions..
So yeah, great thinking there. I wonder when they will realise that broadcast television is in big trouble, and they are busy helping to push it off the cliff? My guess is about a year after their jobs are gone..
You seem to be forgetting that the person posting that almost certainly knows squat about taxation, companies, or such things. They are also certainly a salary earner who things THEY pay all the tax, and everyone else is cheating the system.
Deductions have been twisted by many many special cases by SOME companies and individuals, but the basic concept of deductions is of course core to company tax, and without it you are taxing revenue, not profit, which immediately destroys a WHOLE range of types of business (basically anything that makes a profit margin of less than 50%... which is a damn lot of the economy!).
Most salary earners dont have a clue about business or business taxation, unfortunately. They should give it a go, and find out life is not all roses, especially for small businesses and sole proprietors.
By that logic pretty much no one should be able to vote. Or do you not think the retirees are going to fuck over the workers? How about the unemployed?
The only solution to that is vote-by-contribution, where a persons vote is proportional to how much they contributed to the government purse in the last period. ie: your vote is proportional to your paid tax (including credits for taxes paid by companies who hold a shareholding in).
Will never happen, as people see it an 'unfair', while at the same time crying that the rich pay no tax and have too much control... Well, there is your solution..
Progressive taxes are just yet another attack on the upper middle class - ie: the people who spend most of their life working very very hard. Go and look where the progressions start and end. They are NOT targeted at the 'rich' of course, but at people working often huge life-destroying hours for most of their lives to build themselves up to a good income level. They are a way to punish the personally successful, but steer well clear of the actual rich elites.
Pretty much the same thing as the current low interest/high inflation 'plan' that is also a blatant rape of the middle classes, enticing those few who still have some collateral/savings to 'invest it in the economy' (ie: give it to the rich) to keep the economy moving.
It's going to be a horror show when the middle class is finally bled dry from both ends, and the only group who actually contribute on mass stop.
But no, you keep thinking that progressive taxes are aimed at the rich, because, you know, its not you....right?
Firstly, damage does not void a device warranty, only on the part that is damaged (if you break the usb connector, the screen will almost certainly still be covered by warranty for example).
Secondly, really? you checked ALL these cases? made sure the refusal to repair was on warranty voiding damage? Thats quite impressive as this case is about a large number of cases.
Or, alternately, the passenger sees the best route when they book, but that can change due to traffic, and the driver can therefore get a better (or worse!) Best route when they pick up. That's how up front charging works. Sigh.
But no.. It must be some evil plan to defraud..
Note the article says it can be longer, not that it always is. Uber is trash for a number of reasons, but this just sounds like another attack from the incumbent taxi scam.
For those who cannot be bothered: an estimated 1400 child molestations since the 90s, covered over and allowed by the local law and council, because they basically didnt want to create a fuss that could perhaps have 'given oxygen to racism' by saying the perps were Pakistani. Instead, like good little PC sheep, the people in charge turned their back on the child victims, and let it continue for over 20 years.
Great, care to point out where those laws are available freely WITHOUT those annotations?
They are simply being used as a vector to allow copyright to be exercised on public information. Its exactly like adding a copyright page to the front of a public document, and claiming that page is copyright, therefore the whole document is.
The fact is that a public of 'public servants' dont want the general public to have free access to the laws that govern them, and are willling to spend the publics money to protect the public from knowing their own laws.
Of course the problem there was not lack of always-on monitoring of everyone in the off chance the police nothing something. The problem was not encryption of private information.
The problem was leftist control of a council where them hamstrung themselves so tightly that they were ignoring child rape cases in case they offended a minority group, some of whom were actively raping children.. And yet not one single one of those in positions of power who let this continue to happen are in prison, nor ever likely will be. Because, you know, they are 'sorry', for allowing children to keep being violently raped.
But no, what we need is more cameras, less privacy, more government control - who cares what they DO with it.
