That only works if a State found the money to back an upgrade mandate so that 100% of local police and sheriff departments have them. Otherwise, a color coded sticker is still the easiest way for them to check.
I think the town where I work has them now, but a couple of years ago I think they didn't because I was able to sneak by with a fake sticker for a month.
Not the only reason - diamonds aren't just sparkly decorations, they have utilitarian value. Just like gold, the industrial applications are where diamonds really shine.
They seem pretty special to me - a couple of months making something in a lab that takes billions of years to make in nature? Flawlessly?
That's impressive.
More impressive than digging them up, restricting the supply, and using a massive marketing campaign to make people think they're more valuable than they really are. If it weren't for DeBeers, diamonds would sell for a fraction of what they do now.
I had the same idea! Yesterday I was thinking that maybe the sonic attacks were intended to have some effect other than deafness, but the equipment was miscalibrated. Now here's something that might point to the intended effect.
Regardless of what the intended effect might be, I do have to wonder how many embassies might be under the influence of properly calibrated equipment, should that be the case.
Is this about streamers getting paid for playing video games or where people buy them? The excerpt is a mess - the first paragraph ends with a line from a separate paragraph in the article, making no sense whatsoever. Then it goes on to talk about Steam vs. Gamestop vs. in-game purchases?
Granted, so does the original article, which also goes on to discuss esports as a monetization opportunity. So, the article itself is about three things, and in both the article and the summary, the gender-bias topic of the headline is actually the shortest part!
I'm left to assume that the pay-gap component was slapped onto a rather dry piece about retail and esports in order to draw eyes.
Also that the summary is a mess that needs re-editing.
Why not on the sides? Smaller blades, shrouded by cowlings, could be mounted vertically or horizontally, not sure which would work better. New buildings could devote a floor or two to banks of turbines with big metal screens instead of solid glass.
Big standing turbines like they use in wind farms wouldn't really work in cities for safety reasons and helicopters, but you could a bunch of smaller ones in long tubes and mount those on the sides of the roof.
And it isn't like Boeing doesn't know how to build folding wings - they make the F/A-18.
How much you want to bet that when "some plane crashes occurred after pilots did not secure flaps on wings before takeoff", it was because they told the test pilot, "Okay, now try one with the flaps unsecured."
They are already taxpayers funding said infrastructure. Think about it - you're saying that they've brought too much wealth into the city so they should hand over more. If Amazon is driving up housing costs that means they're driving up property values. 25% of Seattle's revenue comes from property taxes. Do the math.
Amazon and it's employees already pay taxes to Seattle. This sounds like Seattle wants them to pay extra because they've brought too much wealth (thus tax revenue) into the city.
Companies like Amazon are the engine that drives Seattle's wealth, not the other way around. If as a result some people have been priced out of the city, then let them move to the suburbs.
Is Seattle not like every other city - surrounded by suburbs with much lower cost of living? Sounds like there are people who want to force Amazon to pony up so they don't have to grow up and realize that they can't just have whatever they want. If housing costs are the problem, not lack of income, then the obvious solution is to move out of the city. If they don't want to leave the city, they need to make a hard choice - figure out how to make enough money to stay or accept reality and leave.
It is not the job of Amazon or government to save people from having to make economic decisions.
How likely is it that people are so interested in living within the Seattle city limits that they would prefer to do it on the streets than move outside of the city where housing is cheaper? For an individual, the obvious solution to a lack of affordable housing is to live elsewhere and commute, right?
So then where are the CP charges against Reality Winter?
The courts have mechanisms for dealing with classified information, It seems far more likely that the CP charges aren't expected to stick, as he has a reasonable defense, but will keep him put while investigators build an espionage case.

GODDAMNIT MAN THEY TASTE LIKE CANDY!

I'm in Georgia, and in a little while I'll be heading over to https://mvd.dor.ga.gov/tags/ to renew mine. No "digital license plate" needed.
It's a good way to be thinking, but if I had an ouch of gold I'd be looking to sell it so I could buy a new CPU.
That sounds really familiar, but I can't place it. Is it a quote or am I still dreaming a little?
Do I need to detail the oxymoronicisity of "Nature Machine Intelligence"? Two of those words don't belong together.
Something everyone agreed with before DeBeers hoodwinked everyone. Before that, women expected better in their engagement rings.
Gold is the same way. It's really wasted on jewelry.

Thanks Curt!

Came out of the Clinton era? He elected to the Senate when Bill was still in High School. The Clinton Era represents 20% of his time in power.
Ted is dead, thus not fighting the plan.

So you're saying people would rather live on the streets of Seattle than in a home in the suburbs?

To quote a great woman - Mother nature is out of her league. We'll decide where the water goes thank you very much.
