Fuck you. Go tell that to the parents of the 17 year old girl that died because of a fairly minor collision and an exploding Takata air bag. Or tell that to the man who tried to save her life..
Yes. GP's post is suddenly less insightful because it wasn't prequalified with a sensitive prologue like, "Oh, the humanity!"
There are many places on the internet that exhibit that level of compassion... you're likely only temporarily in the wrong forum for that.
Well, refrigeration is nice, both in its ability to preserve food and its impact on our comfort.
But:
Food has been dried, smoked, and salted to preserve it's lifespan as nourishment for humans as long as humans have been the dominant life on the blue planet. Refrigeration extends the life of the most perishable items, but in turn, affords us dietary alternatives to the staple foods our metabolisms are best at burning for fuel.
Sleeping in the comfort of controlled temperature and humidity makes every man a medieval king's envy, yet, comfort seemingly always weakens men.
It is the loopholes themselves thAT (nipped that CapsLock in the bud) promote corporate presence in a State or a Nation, and I suppose until that playing field is leveled everywhere, there is an argument for localized exception.
There is a very clever argument that implies the salaries paid by the corporation are taxed, and it is better to have that income than the none you get from no local corporations.
last time I was in Vegas I was given "promotional" literature advertising that I could get a happy ending limo back to the airport
Since that's a very short ride, I imagine they'll be driving round and round the block. Just another way to inflate the charges, really.
My, erm, charges had better wind up inflated, since who knows what the hooker limo's going run me.
It's a tough ask really, when you consider that much of the West's industrial competitiveness is bartered away when the Europeans and Americans and Australians legislate high domestic standards for emissions and environmental minimums; and then, pretend those industries aren't poisoning the earth making shiny stuff at Chinese factories that follow less rigorous environmental guidelines.
Greater effort toward universal compliance should be the objective.

I was thrown off because I just couldn't decide if I could place an asterisk after the plurality option without explaining the joke, which as we know, ruins the darn thing.
...and what Google needs is a particular constellation of cognitive abilities which no one can really clearly define.

Microsoft, and, to be fair, the other tech giants, would like highly trained and competent employees at a cheaper price.
The ideal market would be multiple qualified candidates for every job opening.
Whether that occurs due to the proposed domestic educational steering program or due to H1B-type legislation doesn't much matter to them. If the government is also willing to pick up the tab, well, that's just gravy.
I think what you're trying to do here is blame the Americans for letting the genie out of the bottle regarding automating machinery to killing folks; which is, honestly, a bit like giving the coach too much credit for the wins and too much blame for the losses.
A good deal of the World's innovative technology, in general, will come from the top nations... and to be fair, a lot of innovations occur at the behest of military application.
In closing, let's look at the plus side of UAV development: remote control machinery has advanced and there is ultimately some employment hope for the failure to launch progeny who never mastered anything except Playstation.
Yes. A first term Representative from West Texas might be a little underwhelming when discussing computer technology and security, but the Party leaders can afford, and appreciate, a tech savvy member of the advisory council.
Just as millions and millions roll in for these Presidential contests, House Speakers and the Ways and Means chair are embarrassingly well funded. The ones who last on the Hill are clever enough to see where the World is headed.
About all we have going for us is that we live in a representative republic, and occasionally, the people who work for us have to do the right thing.
Good for us! Vote early and often. Pretend this shite matters. Preserving rights and improving one's government is the very best legacy that can be left to your children, grand or otherwise.

downright cromulent.
Snopes, you say. That must've been some mind-bending research.
When it became law, or mandate, that nation of origin be printed upon every imported product, a City in Japan renamed itself Usa when I was a kid.
like the other mammals.
It's plumb crazy no one ever gives a nod to the battery that made it all possible.

We've come a long way in a hurry, and clearly, with great power comes great responsibility.

TTIP would put corporations at the center of policy-making, to the detriment of environment and public health."
Yes. The trade partnership agreement will see corporations at the center of policy making... not like what we have now.

In fact, if another planet's advanced life resembled us too closely, it seems likely we have a common ancestry.

Unfortunately, this unconventional measurement only works for the rest of the world's football pitch.
It normally means a raider of the lost corporate ark is eminent.
Just don't pretend you've a right to the high road. Chances are, your gov't engages in this subterfuge, too.

We meddle in the affairs of other sovereign nations, often to our own detriment.
Yet, we have seemingly no interest in freeing the North Korean people (and the world) from this attention-seeking child.
He wondered aloud, "Why are we even contemplating running mate issues prior to a Presidential nomination?"
the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury
Thank goodness our politicians have learned to lie to us so effectively.
