But in the US, the government first started guaranteeing private loans, then they just totally socialized them - although you can not use bankruptcy to get out of them.
Right on. But in the grand scheme of things, is it better that the mean student loan debtor did not improve his/her position in life,
or, is it worthy to consider the exemplary student had access to the education that led to a workable artificial Martian atmosphere?
So are you brilliant, or a turd? This should influence your decision.
Likely as not, people suffer greatly as honest appraisers of their own self worth, and yet, without some unfounded self-confidence, there is very limited individual success.
We might infer, from that information, that those individuals gifted with inflated self worth are statistically more likely to succeed.
The motive is to discourage western powers from interfering in their take over of Iraq and Syria.
Absolutely.
Its worked too. Look why happen in the UK when Cameron tried to get support for an intervention. The Obama response to the Syrian situation has been similarly tepid, why? because the public is tired of it. The support for an on going war is soft. Partly because the citizens of Western nations know fighting ISIS paints a target on our backs. It effects the US a little less than other because 1) our military is so huge and 2) We are 'the great Satan' and know that we are going be a target anyway for legacy reasons.
It has worked, but perhaps not in the way you suggest.
I can tell you this attack on Paris will galvanize the campaign to put US troops back on the ground in the Middle East, which is a net loss for everyone... except possibly the ISIL recruiters.
No matter what, you've got to have the great Satan in the game to rock the Nielsens.
Hatred and terrorism are instigators of each other.
Each act of terrorism breeds hatred from the victims, which leads to the mistreatment of those considered like the aggressors, which leads to the formation of circumstances likely to breed terrorists.
So yes, it appears these hateful acts are quite likely to continue.
You can bet money will be the impetus for industry reform in this, as well.
The operative difference is it will be to stem the outflow of it from lawsuits and increased insurance premiums.
I'll be waiting for the first hack/murder to show up on Investigative Discovery... the victim won't even need to have life insurance as incentive for the perpetrator-spouse's big payday.
From chameleons to super batteries...very interesting.
It is produced in raw form as a byproduct of coal production and is so cheap that it is used in lithium batteries that are bought in the store and thrown away after a single use.
Unlike many of the rare earth materials necessary for battery and solar panel manufacture, iron pyrite is (at present) quite plentiful and easily available.
There were actually some crooked bankers involved in the scheme, who will undoubtedly turn State's evidence and avoid the prison these others are head3d to.
People won't want to spend an extra hour per day commuting.
No, they don't.
At the heart of that you will locate an innate selfishness, a modern day tragedy of the commons. Most folks would rather we did things to the benefit of the environment, as long as their personal sacrifice is somewhere between minimal and nonexistent.
Where we live, there is an active market for the gear heads who trade in "delete kits" (after market parts that defeat the environmental controls).
Any system that leaves a physical trail, paper or otherwise, allows for the luxury of a physical recount if voting tabulations are in question.
FWIW, that means results are being reviewed by potentially flawed and subjective humans. Yes. Results are much easier to adulterate en masse if compromised at the electronic compilation level.
No. Human reviews of elections are not beyond reproach... the hanging chad was often an interpretation.
"Buy low sell high" is still sound advice. Selling a downward-trending stock is not necessarily the most rational move. For example, Toyota had a rough patch with their breaks and are back on top again. You calculate your odds based on what you can control now, not how much you already lost.
The investment model you describe is likely good advice in any instance where the stock doesn't tank and never recover.
The final bailout price of this mess is not being helped by the slow, almost daily release of new negative information.
There is a limit, however astronomical it may be, to how much VW can spend to make this go away... unless too big to fail extends to large Deutschland employers. Volkswagon is listed as the largest corporation in Germany as of 2012, and 12th largest in the World, so we'll see.

Heh heh, well played indeed!

You can't see Brad's Deals... they have adblockerblocker.
There are multiple advantages for their universal employment, up to and including protecting good LEOs.
But, there are probably some in law enforcement who would rather not see their implementation.
Even if they upload to desktops at the officers local squad, these computers would likely be protected.
Who wants oversight here?
When I hear those damn twin rotors, I hang my head and cry.

a haven of refreshing takes on things with sometimes brilliant and inspired discussions.
Selfishly, I want these things for news stories such as this, especially for stories like this.
Weather extremes, solar flares, microbial plagues... name your poison.
There is some rational advantage in having a few weeks of food and water, even if the likelihood of all incidents approaches a small factor.
all the big hacks have been around money.

nonetheless, it is plausible that Tim Cook's assertions about the Microsoft product are possibly not completely unbiased.
It is no more effective than security theatre at the airport...just makes you feel warm and fuzzy having defied the evil Americans.
There were actually some crooked bankers involved in the scheme, who will undoubtedly turn State's evidence and avoid the prison these others are head3d to.
A bit of stupidity combined with that greed.

The summary is missing important information.
Let me get this straight: the 8 page article with pictures and videos had more information than the 4 sentence summary?
Great submission. Thanks, Bang.
We had pencils and punch cards once, when democracy was hanging by a chad.
We are so close, simultaneously, to unilateral destruction and universal expansion... not out of the Great Filter yet!

IMHO, the work done in 2005 is unlikely 100% accurate or 100% inaccurate.
It did too well in some of the developmental models of the Solar System's formation to be completely discounted.
