Yeah, next we should try a three-day week. Then imagine how much better a two-day week will be! When we get to zero, the work-life balance will be perfect!
Well actually, around here people like police, firefighters, certain public works employees work something like 3 on/3 off, 4 on/4 off with 12 hour shifts. Yes, when you are working you are working and not much else, but in the end, when you include vacation, stat holidays, etc, you have significantly more days off in the year than you have work days.
I'm sure it is not for everyone, but all the people I know who do this love it.
So we know he can't video record the NFL game (even from a crane) and put it on the internet, that would clearly be copyright infringement. He can however take still images of the game, that would apparently be fair use - of somebody elses copyrighted material (the NFL). A picture for personal use would be no big deal, people take pictures at sports events all the time. A picture for commercial use seems to stretch that a bit far though. It's not transformative in any way - how does it become his copyright and not the NFLs?
They also had a target that looked to be something like foam and plywood (while refusing to disclose their testing methodology, and doing it in front of the press), with no evidence of radar reflectors. The most critical component of an AEB system is how well it distinguishes real targets from fake ones and avoids false positives. In short, if you're going to slam on your brakes in high speed in traffic because you think there's a car stopped ahead of you, there better actually be a car there
Whereas if it is a person, or a moose, obviously you would not want to stop. Because real targets have radar signatures and fake targets don't.......
Musk, with his attacks on journalists as well, comes across as a pretty thin skinned individual. As long as you praise him you are fine but if you criticise him then he goes all seppo.
Just because my car is out of warranty doesn't mean I have to stop driving it. Unless maintenance costs exceed the revenue generated by letting a turbine run, why wouldn't you just let it run.
Indeed. Many people keep driving their old cars until the wheel bearings seize, or the transmission stops shifting, or it puts a rod through the block.
In the worst likely case, when one of these things fails, the owners will temporarily take down the blades, replace the generator portion, and put the blades back up at a much lower labor cost than dismantling it, and at a far lower cost than building a new one from scratch.
I could just wave a magic wand and remove anything and everything derived from fossil fuels from protester's lives. They would be so fucked, it would be hilarious to watch. And many of them appear too stupid to even know it.
Did you even read his argument as to why he dissented? Obviously not, otherwise you'd know that he did because he felt that the other opinions were too vague in order to be in favor of it. Go on, read it. Dust off that annotated copy of rulings, and you'll figure it out. When you do, you'll also figure out why you look like an idiot to anyone who's studied law.
So you are saying that rather than vote for it, even though he thought that it is not precise enough, he decided to vote against it and write that it is not precise enough.
Still pretty obvious whose interests he is siding with then IMHO.
In the meantime, Trump has removed the only barrier that stood in the way of Iran following the same path.
You can also be sure Kim is quite aware of what happened to the deal with Iran and consequently what America's word on anything is actually worth.
Most all of America's allies and trading partners have recently seen first hand just how unstable Trump is. It is funny watching Iran saying to them, to paraphase, "See? Now you all know how we feel too". At one time, if you had asked who is more trustworthy, Iran or America, it would not have required so much thought.
Trump certainly has turned the US into a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
But is "retirement" at 65 a realistic goal for most people?
It could be. It is not because the prevailing attitude among the majority is to drag everyone else down rather than to build everyone else up.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm 53 and recently retired after a 30 year career as a network specialist for a large public sector employer. I have a good pension, and not only that, I have a well managed pension. It is fully funded and consistently makes large returns on investments so there is no risk to the taxpayers, and being part of government there is no risk of the company folding and pensions being looted by corporate douchebags.
While this was not an uncommon thing at one time, it is rapidly becoming less and less so. Public sector pensions are under constant attack, and private sector pensions - well you are lucky just to have one these days. I guess in the end society will get what it deserves. Enjoy your indentured servitude.
Once they do that, the rest of Europe will file a similar suit. Just because a company is big and the product is wanted by many does not make it ok to do things that are deemed illegal. If that means that said company stops doing business, so be it.
Cutting them off is the proper response.
Once Europe is cut off from Youtube, the electorate will go WTF? and hopefully elect governments who fix the laws to nullify these court rulings so they can have Youtube back.
For the copyright lawsuit sector it could well end up being a case of "be careful what you wish for".

The MPAA is (one of) the enemy of a free and open internet.
Anything you can do to hurt them is good.

Nobody thinks that almond milk is the same thing as regular milk
I think this is a case of the people making the rules thinking everyone else is as stupid as they are.
mixing it with the concerted effort to paint Russia as a boogeyman really feels like a throwback to McCarthyism now.
I was just mentioning the other day how you could surely use ole Joe right about now.
Like George Orwell he was clearly ahead of his time.
Televising it wouldn't be allowed.

Did I strike a nerve?
Obama had quite thick skin actually. He put up with 8 straight years of shit pretty gracefully.
Now Trump gets the same treatment. It has only just begun.
As a non-American I can objectively say he is by far the whiniest president ever.
Musk, with his attacks on journalists as well, comes across as a pretty thin skinned individual. As long as you praise him you are fine but if you criticise him then he goes all seppo.
Sounds like a certain president.
I don't hate anyone. Why would I want to go through life like that?
Fact is if your life sucks there is rarely anyone else to blame.
Seems to me that the people who hate feminists are the very same people that hate refugees, immigrants, Muslims, Europeans, progressives, etc.
Not Russians though. They are our buddies!

In the worst likely case, when one of these things fails, the owners will temporarily take down the blades, replace the generator portion, and put the blades back up at a much lower labor cost than dismantling it, and at a far lower cost than building a new one from scratch.
Just like every other energy generating plant.
Oh, wait.....
more than anything - way more than the fast cars and mansions and yachts - I would love to have my own charitable foundation.
Not sure what higher purpose anyone could ever aspire to in life.
Maybe they could spray those trees with something to prevent this problem.
First think that came to my mind also. Perhaps they could play a bit from the glorious Ninth, by Ludwig van.
Why I wanna fuck around with two cameras, when I can have FIVE?
For sure!
Also, you get the very best shave from a razor with twelve blades, not just eleven like the competition!

this White House is likely to see would be artificial. They are certainly lacking in the real kind.
