I could have clarified that I meant anything you back as a product not made is a scam. The huge difference between Kickstarter and Indiegogo is that Kickstarter requires a working prototype before you can even ask for funding. Yeah, Kickstarter projects fail, but they require more than a design on a napkin like Indiegogo.
Keep in mind that this is the same company that showed "test footage" of Tempest 4000 running on their hardware only to back down when the maker of Tempest 4000 said they never ported the code, let alone even get approached about licensing. Atari backed down later saying it was just the PC version to show what could be running on it. Daily reminder that if its on Indiegogo, its a scam.
Call it what it is - an earnings gap. If you control all relevant factors (experience, education, time at job, hours worked, etc) the "gap" is +/- 5% depending on the field. All the basis that everyone uses for the pay gap is avaerage pay for the gender as a whole.
Or, get this, we got Trump because the Democrats were so busy with infighting that left the left divided and unable to recover any semblance of unity after the Primaries. Maybe someday they will stop pushing Clinton and we'll have a shot at the presidency again.
I do treat all people the same. Unfortunately that same on help forums is "useless, lazy, and ignorant until proven otherwise." The problem now is that a drive by link with LMGTFY is now a "microagression" if the person ranks higher than me on the progressive stack.
Unfortunately one of those tests is met if you directly manage 3 or 4 people (I forget) as 51% of your job duties. So basically you just have 4 non exempt regular employees and say everyone else is a manager to get around that.
In California all workers are required to take the following breaks - less than 2 hours us no break. 2:01 to 5:59 is 1 10 minute break. Over 6 hours is 1 10 minute and 1 unpaid 30 minute break to be taken before the 5th hour of a shift. 8 hours is 2x 10 minute and 1x 30 minute unpaid. 10 hours is 3x 10 minute and 1x 30 minute unpaid. 12 hours is 3x 10 minute and 2x 30 minute unpaid brakes before the 5th and 10th hour of a shift.
Works fine down here and I think it's fairly reasonable allotment of breaks.
The pendulum swings back and forth on this. As society becomes more liberal or conservative, the opposite sides extremists start to come out of the wood work. It's apt to say that the current tactics and ideas of the left resemble the moral panic of the right in past years.
In the communities that I am involved with, this pretty much sums up the definition of SJW.
The fastest way to tell if someone is fighting for rights and being a progressive or they are a SJW - If the words "internalized racism/misogyny" is ever used when a woman or POC disagrees with someone on how something should be handled, they are a SJW.
They can both be right wing. What you're look at is something that is a line segment from Left to Right. You need to add the vertical graph of Authoritarian and Libertarian to that, so you have a plane that they can exist on.
So again, your view is that "Fuck the people, they can starve on the street. Businesses will never ever do anything wrong if we completely deregulate everything!"
Should I even bother explaining if you're going to be so obtuse? Well fuck it, I'm killing time at work.
Two things are pretty much certain at this point - 1) The amount of jobs is going to continue to decrease with automation. 2) Population is going to keep rising unless we adopt a China like '1 child per family' law.
All this is going to do is resolve a large subset of the population to crippling poverty. What happens in most of the poor neighborhoods you know of? Why, they happen to be disproportionately affected by crime! That being said, UBI is not the solution we need now. UBI is the solution we need to be talking about for the future.
I may have not fully explained my idea that well. We are going to come to a time where automation severely hits a lot of the unskilled labor market. There will be a portion of the population that will accept the money and move out of the way. In the context of what the GP said, its not like everyone is going to just stop working. Those that can't find any gainful employment will be taken care of (either though lack of jobs or lack of caring). The people that are still making a good living in what they're doing will keep working. UBI is not the solution we need now. UBI is the solution we need to worry about 50-100 years down the road when automation becomes the norm. Jobs will decrease as automation increases, and unless we do the China "1 child per family" laws, our population is going to keep expanding. What's going to happen that point is that without something like UBI, you're basically putting a good chunk of people into crushing poverty and we become a third world country.
UBI will only work if you give people the extreme minimum required to survive. Most people do not want to live there. Also, with the growth of automation we are only giing to see jobs shrinking in the future. UBI is a good way to prevent those that would end up in extreme poverty from resorting to crime.
You're ignoring the #1 thing humans are known for - being greedy. The amount that all UBI gives you (in these test cases) is for a tiny apartment or a rented room, ramen, and maybe utilities. Who the fuck would ever want to live like that?

It would be a streaming service, so more like On-Live. Or PS+ which has been out for ages.

Man, im glad that my local shop makes their own stuff (in a lab) and sells 120mL for $28. Good stuff too.

If you go to your ad settings, it shows how FB thinks you align politically. It has me listed as "very liberal" at the moment.

It's called horseshoe thoery. The extremes of any spectrum are more alike to eachother than the moderates.
We got hit with this at work. Luckily we didn't run into trust issues but it did take us around 10 hours to run the "fix"they released.
I wish they did the same with the fucking vNIC issued on Server 2008 too.

Well, its a goal to shoot for if you're a pinko commie bastard.
So again, your view is that "Fuck the people, they can starve on the street. Businesses will never ever do anything wrong if we completely deregulate everything!"
So basically you're viewpoint is "Fuck working class America, tough shit if they lose their job to automation, they can starve in the street"?

If you have to work consistent OT to pay for your mortgage, maybe you are living outside your means.

Something tells me you're new here.
