Dear NRL, I heard you are able to track falling drops of liquid. I would find it very useful if you could track falling birdshit and alert me to move my car, close my mouth, don a hat, etc. Yours Sincerely, Taxpayer.
No matter my easygoing, optimistic, humorous internal state -- I have a disability whereby I look cranky and/or crazy. I get social crapola by the ton. People treat me like crap. I AM easygoing optimistic and humorous. Will I live long and prosper...or die young?? This study is irritating.
I want to free my copyright and trademark protected intellectual property. Advice on what legal formalities need to be considered?
Stifle creativity = bad ethics. Free currently IP-protected creativity = creative gift! But, how?
RADIO: CBS News reported two weeks ago that tax laws changes (US) recently created onerous reporting burdens, to the tune of thousands of dollars in paperwork fees. I can't find a link to that news article, but NYTimes (ref below) also reports,
“The administrative costs of being an American and living outside the U.S. have gone up dramatically,” said Marnin Michaels, a tax lawyer with Baker & McKenzie in Zurich. (and...) After Congress sharply raised taxes this year for many Americans living abroad, some international tax lawyers say they detect rising demand from citizens to renounce ties with the United States, the only developed country that taxes it citizens while they live overseas. Americans abroad are also taxed in the countries where they live.“
Increased citizens fleeing, passport returns, well darn it--it has been reported--they are objecting to unfair taxation. In a Foghorn leghorn voice, "I says un-fair tax-ation!
The number of people trolling loudly about taxes owed by people who use United States' elite infrastructure--please be properly grateful to citizens living abroad and not "using up" any of that 1337 infrastructure!
Primarily they missed any sort of social or emotional processing, such as face recognition, emotional recognition, metaphor comprehension, the kinds of intelligence known to reside in the right hemisphere.
(My snarky private thought was, wow, a new way of ignoring areas of intelligence that don't correspond to standardized tests.)
My informed opinion: --- the researchers were presenting, primarily, a MAPPING SYSTEM ("An integrative architecture for general intelligence mapping.") There are many many areas of intelligence that were not represented within this limited group, composed of verbal deficit injuries. There's no big news here, there's just a promising system for conducting future research on intelligence.
Workaround suggestions miss the point.
Anonymous Coward should be able to check the primary sources of our research. We have a firewall between our minds and our culture's information. AC BTW I watched the 2-minute video, it's a great triumph of voxel mapping, but not a great advance in knowledge. Skip it.
I was about to write a sarcastic reply to the statement, "No law being broken in sight." But K.S.K. is right. The law broken and the law breaker are, indeed, hard to define. The lawbreaker being the government... Hm? The lawbreaker being the corporation that mis-uses a system of law in order to profit... Hmm? We have traditions! Corporations are _expected_ to mis-use the legal system to suit their primary goal.
:: define a corporation as a being that struggles for more profit:: When the result is profit, is a corporation breaking a law?? In a moral world. But By Definition, NO in this global _invented_ system of arcane rules, so the result is as you see. The system has several players so, like a RICO conspiracy, one can always shift blame to the other, making resistance difficult. Who are the lawbreakers? Both sides, i think.
--The law breakers are certainly the law makers.-- I see misuse of laws rampant around me. The Las Vegas police give out bogus tickets that can easily be dismissed -- but only by appearing in person, back in Las Vegas, requiring you pay for a round-trip back to Las Vegas!
The system of profits uses the system of law. The complications are obfuscations.
