Indian politicians may have reservations about inviting foreign companies into domestic markets, but it's much more likely Silicon Valley companies haven't put forth the effort to seduce Indian legislators.

India's lawmakers are elected members of Parliament. Seriously, a bit of lobbying effort would go a long way.
I am being paid screen actors guild scale, and would get some residuals if they use the spot a lot.
Nice! Naturally, I had to look that up:
SAG-AFTRA scale on a commercial is $627.75 for an eight-hour day, and use fees are paid according to how the commercial runs. If it plays on the internet, as most spots do these days, the move-over rate is $2,511.00 for one year of use.
Flo from the Progressive commercials has reportedly negotiated $1,000,000 per year from the huge insurance company.
You make a good point. Some crimes are going to be reported regardless of the level of police presence. Murder leaves behind a body that needs cleaning up, and reporting a burglary to law enforcement is penultimate to reporting it to an insurance company.
Some crimes will actually decrease in the the presence of heightened, especially visible, police activity. Many of these crimes, like drug activity, would have gone unreported unless they were interdicted by law enforcement.
In the presence of those tasked with upholding the law, more arrests will occur, even if that means LEOs have to police less severe offenses... arrests that are going to be reported.
By targeting a portion of a city or neighborhood with more LEOs, you will create more arrests there.
There are undoubtedly several areas in virtually every city that are predisposed to criminal activity... areas that have a high concentration of poor people or others that are resigned to accept more overt peddling of the drug and skin trades, for instance. If you're looking to prove an algorithm's efficacy, deploying additional police personnel and assets to any of these areas will get it done.
Careful. That display of big heartedness is statistically likely to result in a Netflix recommendation for SPCA fundraisers during programs like the "The Notebook".
Netflix’s new crime series Borderliner landed last week. The eight-episode Norwegian series is a crime-thriller that tells the story of Nikolai Andreassen, a police detective who covers up a murder case in order to protect his family.
Inexplicably, it shows up on your preference list after a Shameless binge.
Insightful, but no mod points, so you get this instead.
Typical State politician grandstanding on a topic he knows little about, but perceives it to be a hot button topic that might translate to political R & R... recognition and reelection.
Even if you couldn't quantify the number of zealots on both sides of the belief set, as a reasonable person, you'd have to stipulate they exist... blaming one side (or the other) for all the human failures that exist in the World is a recipe for well done, as opposed to medium rare (which is really well done), partisanship.
The powers that be have successfully divided the populace with the minimum of two policy positions.
You wouldn't think so, but I have an extremely intelligent brother-in-law with whom I argue politics at every Thanksgiving and Christmas, typically spoiling the holiday, at least a little, for the rest of the family members.
This guy built a water well drilling unit with scrap parts he had laying around the farm. He builds his own devices to pull poly pipe thru steel pipe in a relining process for which he is able to charge oilfield companies and municipalities $millions.
More than that, he gets my jokes & references... even the obscure ones. If the World goes to shit, I am prepping with this guy.
But. If Fox said something that morning, arguing to the contrary is like pulling on Superman's Cape.
Hold up, you are confusing correlation with causation here. There is yet any scientific proof yet that this is the case
Yeah, this is one is well supported by experiment. See this for a demonstration. There are equations and references here.
Some scientists doubt that there will be a crisis because of AGW, but none doubt that adding CO2 to the atmosphere produces a warming effect.
I responded to you, but I admit I think you are ignorant and will not read the things I linked to.
It's not ignorance, so much as an unshakable belief set. There are many very intelligent folks on both sides of the Climate Change argument.
Sadly, political beliefs skewer scientific evidence, because it is one of the pillars in the us vs. them political landscape our democracy has devolved into.
So when's the last time you tipped your doctor? Your auto mechanic? Or the pilot on your flight?
All three have the potential to cause your untimely demise. Shouldn't you hand over a 30% tip just to be safe?
Although it's tempting to argue that people employed in these vocations tend to be more professional than the waitstaff at the local steak house, I have in fact tipped a doctor once and our mechanic every time he does a job for us... a gift card for dinner out to the doctor, a case of hand wipes or a bottle of whiskey to the increasingly rare honest mechanic. Small things really, yet they set you apart from the average grumbling, unappreciative customer.
Thoughtfulness is a vanishing trait these days, and I know when our customers exhibit that trait towards me, they go to the top of the priority list.
The people who handle the food I eat are in a different category. I consider the tip a social form of insurance, or a small ransom on the safe handling of something I'm about to ingest.
Sadly, much as the lottery is a tax on folks who can't do math, tipping is a tax on the generous to the benefit of the frugal.
We frequently use a regional food delivery service, undoubtedly based on these national chains. After talking to a few delivery employees, we've discovered that no tip up front on the original order may place your delivery's priority behind one with a tip on the credit slip. Folks who say they'll tip with cash at the door on the invoice sometimes do not, apparently.
Our solution is to tip some up front, and some cash at the house... which seems to get the food here still warm and pleases the driver(s).
Fair enough, yet, perhaps the parameters you've set aren't completely inclusive of those criminals who seem beyond the prospect of prosecution as criminals. Many, if not most, of the white collar rule breakers are well insulated from traditional indictment, prosecution, and ultimately, labeling, as criminals.
You're right, if the calculation to most of the crime is skewed toward total dollars of damage, but if it is more representative of number of occurrences, the crimes of the poor towards the understandable goal of basic substinence wins out.
America is the greatest example of how poor people can become very rich through hard work and honesty.
True, yet hard work and dishonesty is too often profitable. Perhaps it's fair to say the poorer criminals are disproportionately investigated and prosecuted. For every Michael Milken, there's a pound's worth of farthings' in broke people stealing food at the Super Duper Mart.
The great Carlin once said, "Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy."
That lag time, they estimate, allows abusive apps to cumulatively churn out tens of millions of tweets per month before they're banned.
So, basically, a rounding error?
If we're going to have a forum to express opinion like twitter, and that necessity is up for further debate, at what point would you be comfortable with admin interference in the posting of opinions? One possibly troll post? Five?
Racism exists because black people commit basically all the crime. If they stopped then people would complain about mexicans instead.
I'm as racist as the next person, but poor people commit basically all the crime. Keeping minorities in poverty through through subjective (nowadays virtually silent) bias, merely ensures they will live up to the stereotype you have carved out for them.
This is somewhat different from profiling, which is an often individually observed behavior based on probability. LEOs looking for drug mules pull over vehicles piloted by young male hispanic & black occupants with far more frequency than vehicles piloted by blue haired older ladies.
Perhaps it's as simple as a means-to-an-end metric. Constitutional rights against unlawful search and seizure are a rather regular hindrance to the average LEO's daily grind. To be fair, they are often doing a thankless job trifling with the dregs of society on a nightly basis, but protections offered to citizens are frequently in the way of the implementation of their duties.
Regarding the predisposition to be heavy handed with minority groups, it's very likely personal biases play a role... but don't kid yourself, LEOs want as much power as possible in all of their roadside interviews.

Intelligence aside, the ability to receive and process evidence contrary to one's belief set is rarer than hen's teeth.

By one estimate, the actual cost of retrieving court documents, including secure storage, is about one half of one ten-thousandth of a penny per page.
Thanks for the clarifying conversion.
One twenty-thousandth of a penny per page is an incredibly more complex fraction.
I just want stupid google to remove all political and SJW shit news. It is on by default, always at the top of news, and no way to turn it off.
There are those who echo your sentiments on other sites.
Sites you use. Sites with green stripes.
