He claimed he never received the letters before the default judgement. Shouldn't the plaintiff be required to show proof that the letter was received? Otherwise he could just never send letters and win default judgement after default judgement.
If you live somewhere nice enough that McDonalds and Grocery Stores can't maintain a functional staff, then what they are willing to pay is not in line with what it costs to live and work in your area. Actually, UBI might help them hire more easily.
However, in 20 years each McDonalds store will only have one or two employees. All of the jobs that you're talking about are GOING AWAY. The people who have those jobs now are completely fucked. UBI isn't about right now, it's about trends that are happening right now and are expected to massively change the employment landscape.
Well if there isn't work for them to do then they are unemployable regardless. You will likely be out of work as well, so at that time you will decline the basic income and die on the streets, correct?
Rent would only go up $1000 if the market could support it, which in the face of massive unemployment is unlikely.
Builders might build better houses, but the cost of builder labor would still be set by competition with the other two million contractors capable of building a house. Having more money in the system doesn't automatically rule out competition.
The issue of GMO food has passed rational debate and entered into religious fervor
On one side of the debate you have lunatics who are opposed to GMO because it's not natural, and who are portrayed as such. On the other side you have some mega-corporations who clearly manipulate the media by paying for research, paying for good press, and probably paying to have their opposition portrayed as lunatics.
>Interesting the timings of those - does no harm - reports coming out - Glyphosate is due for renewal in the EU in July (or so).
This is completely missing the point. In March 2015 the IARC (Internation Agency for Research on Cancer) reclassified Glyphosate as "probably causes cancer in humans". Ever since then there has been a constant bombardment of pro-GMO and anti-anti-GMO articles popping up.
>When was this trans-fat goodie discovered and put to use?
I think this was meant to be an analogy to how long regulation takes, but I'm not sure.
>Glyphosate, a consequence of GMO modified crops
Perhaps the proliferation of glyphosate is the result of GM crops.

What about patents on the genes that make roundup so useful? What about patents on methods of production? When patents expire companies just built a box out of related patents to protect their monopoly.
Glyphosate would kill a lot of the plants its used on if they hadn't been genetically modified to withstand it. They couldn't use it at all. How can we decrease from that?
Cancer research has been casting doubt on the safety of roundup (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/roundup-ingredient-probably-carcinogenic-humans/). There is a huge interest in burying the dangers being discovered. The most common GMOs are those modified to work with roundup.
You are assuming that there are other jobs for these people to find. Automation will out-pace job growth at some point. What do we do when there are only 80% as many jobs as people? When there are only 10% as many jobs as people? There is only so much trash to pick up.
The FBI is saying they actively exploit a flaw in Firefox but won't say what that flaw is. This course of action actively deters people from using firefox. Mozilla can't dispute the FBIs claim since there is no evidence given. If the FBI won't disclose the vulnerability I sure hope they can sued for libel since that's exactly what is left.
I've held this as a fun talking point for years. It's a fantastic way for a liberal like myself to break down barriers to discourse with hardcore conservatives about socialist ideology. It's clear that the jobs we are losing to automation are not being replaced by new industries at a fast enough pace to keep our ever growing population at full employment. We need to re-imagine the core of our society in much the same way as we changed during industrialization before the problem comes to a head, or we face the same or even greater pains many of the industrialized nations felt the last time society underwent such massive restructuring.
(IANAL. Either) The courts had indicated in a dissent that they may oppose forcing someone to turn over the combination to a safe. They set no precedent, and made no ruling to uphold that statement. Furthermore, the court is different now.
This case is so insidious that I really hope it gets more traction on slashdot or other media sites.
The slashdot summary didn't do it justice, either. The court is holding someone who claims to have forgotten his password indefinitely until such a time that he produces his password.
If the police search your house, and deep in your basement find a computer hard drive from 6 years ago that you've completely forgotten about, and have no recollection of the passphrase to unlock, do you deserve indefinite detention?
So while you can't be compelled to provide authorities with your decryption key for instance, we have recently seen here [slashdot.org] that you can be ordered to perform the decryption itself and be held in contempt of court for not doing so.

The only story is that the journalist did a three hour interview with a NSA hacker. There's no content in there.

McDonalds doesn't pay $15-20/h.

Yeah, they're even (slightly) worse then the pro-GMO people who make their arguments in inappropriate places.
Here's a nice hand drawn sketch of what the mock-up is supposed to look like.
I know the Model X is pretty spacey, but a whole neighborhood?

You're saying it's alright to cause cancer because we will cure cancer.
