So, this being "progressive taxation" is just a liiiiitle bit hyperbolic.
Few things:
1) Oregon has no sales tax, but rather a progressive income tax.
2) If you've been to oregon, the working poor (of which there are many, many decent people), aren't buying $200 bikes (note: right at this moment, Wal-Mart.com has on sale 25" road bikes for $129 bucks which are far superior to anything which existed when I was growing up.)
3) Bike ownership is not a requirement for survival
4) Bike owners should contribute to usage of public infrastructure as car owners do.
I know that especially these days on/. certain types look for any and every reason to grind an axe against "big government" "liberalism", and these types - who have never been to the state - especially hate Oregon because "huhr duhr Portlandia" (and it's even more hilarious, considering how conservative the state actually is).
And so I ask: what's your proposal to solve the problem the state is trying to address? I guess we could just start registering bikes and having government agents (police) enforce their registration via ticketing?
Yeah, you're right. We're totally talking about the same thing. In fact, your Portland whataboutism completely has invalidated what I said. Thanks for working so hard to take an honest appraisal of the situation. You're a great american, and your grandfather would be proud.
No, Mr.Revisionist shill. Russia "annexed" a sovereign nation and has since received the sanctions it justly deserves. They are a kleptocracy ruled by a murderous tyrant and are no friends of my nation. Go find somewhere else to peddle your sewage.
If Hillary Clinton had been elected and was accused of even 1/10th of what Trump is under investigation for there is zero doubt in my mind that there would be armed revolt in the streets with rifles and everything else.
Returning to the topic at hand, if the President feels that twitter is the appropriate way to address the nation, then the account should be treated no differently than any other instrument of the executive office.As you have noticed, the democratic party controls none of the federal government, so let us not worry so much about them as much as the ruling party and it's actions - and I know that you hold them to the same standard as you did Obama and the Democrats.
>> But please! Carry on! Continue with unhinged, delusional snarkery
Ultimately, every government regulation is a removal of rights and choices.
I know, and every time a mother puts a toddler in time out for acting like a horrible little shit, it's a "removal of rights and choices". News fucking flash - we live in a society. Go read your fucking Thomas Hbbes, and grow up out of this thirteen year old's mentality (and economic philosophy), JFC.
Sometimes the generally shittiness of the nerd superiority/inferiority complex really does get tiresome. Nah bro, you're right. Steve Wozniak, a man whose demonstrated brilliance should require no citations, is only just now "realizing this". It's never occurred to him in his life, which is why you should be moderated insightful based on a Bloomberg puff piece. But not you though. You're the guy-too-cool-for-school who just "gets" these things better than anyone else. Thanks for contributing.
You know, at least during the eight years of "b-b-b-b-b-ut Clinton!"-ing during the Bush II administration, he had at least been the president. *Two dozen* Benghazi hearings. Dozens. What a joke.
The sexual harassment is one thing. If the facts are what she says they are, then I agree she should have a right to be treated respectfully by co-workers on the shop floor. (I don't for even one second believe that Tesla's culture condones or excuses such behavior - but that is my opinion and irrelevant here.)
However, having regards equal pay, the deal is this: Her public linked in shows her to have been a pharmaceutical sales rep for ~4 years before joining Tesla. After a year in Tesla sales, she became a project coordinator. 7 months after this she was transfered to "assembly engineer". Now, I have no idea the quality of persons that she replaced, but if she, a 31 year old with zero previous mechanical and assembly experience (as evidenced by her resume), I certainly wouldn't expect her pay to be the same as a guy who has been working in a mechanical assembly position for even 5 years, to say nothing of if these were guys with 15 years on her.
Ok, well, first off, this woman is not an "Engineer" in the sense that she holds any academic credentials or certifications (neither am I). The article clearly states she started working at Tesla in 2013, was *promoted* to vehicle assembly. She is an "assembly engineer" in the same way that a guy working on the floor at Ford making IC cars is.
After this, following claims that she was held to unreasonable performance standards and subject to sexual harassment on the shop floor, , she transfered to the "purchasing department", which Tesla was apparently glad to accomodate.
These are simple facts which may or may not be relevant to the case, which appears to me that Tesla hired this woman, and has been happy to allow her to shift roles in the company and build her skillset. Apparently, she just purchased a Model-S. I have worked in IT for 15 years, and I sure can't afford a Model-S. So, anyway, sounds like a pretty damned good job to me.
Hey, just so you know I think you're making a good choice on the XPS 13, but if you're going there, you'll have only a USB-C and a USB 3.1 integrated. You're going to need the $75 dongle for ethernet/hdmi/vga. (The XPS 15 has the ports integrated.)
China may get pissed at him because the days of them screwing the US are over, but unless they want to write off $1,130,000,000,000 in US debt that they own, along with $500B/year of very lucrative trade with the US, they will suck it up. China is not stupid, they have 200 nukes, the US has 2,000.
Oh really, is that what China is going to do? "Suck it up"?
Those crazy bastards want to watch the world burn and are happy to set the fire.
Really? It's Iran who is happy to set the fire? Not the newly-emboldened global policy "experts" who believe that diplomacy is "shut up and take it, cause we're 'murica?".
Well, anyway, Mr. "LeftCoastThinker" I bet you've done well in your career and have many friends and personal successes. Your handle is great, because I am sure that you're the only smart person with all those dumb liberals there on the coast. LOL.
just don't read this guy's [twitter.com] explanation of how it was sourced from nonsense they fabricated based on this old TIL on Reddit [reddit.com] (amazing how history repeats itself...).
You've just linked to some dude's twitter account and a reddit post about Sukarno as evidence of how "fake" this news is, while ranting about how everyone in the world is a stupid sheep listening to "fake news" (except you, of course). Buddy, the only hilarious joke here is you people and your total disconnect from reality you people live in and your total, all-pervasive need to be told what to think by the propaganda minister of an orange buffoon. But none of us are laughing.
"And those two weeks were pretty painful and clearly a lowlight for us. We learned a lot from it obviously."
Yeah, if only you guys had had some kind of organizational history to draw upon that could have provided some insight into the effects of releasing monolithic patches touching all parts of the operating system, without testing, and without machine owner approval.

LOL. Nintendo sold 13 million Wii consoles (at a profit), and prints money with the DS, at 154 million units sold. And I am not even bringing Pokemon into this, or the fact that people are lining up outside of stores for the NES classic. I promise, Nintendo is doing fine, as will this new console.
It's a crazy capable machine. Love the fact that you can login with your fingerprint, and the new touchbar is nice. Not great, but nice. But it's thin, has four very capable thunderbolt ports disguised as USB-C, and runs all of my stuff like a demon. I don't care that it's Skylake instead of the latest Kaby lake, because it's not like we iOS developers have a choice anyway. Gotta run with what Apple provides. And a quad-core Skylake with the crazy fast SSDs that the MacBooks have, that's way beyond what I actually need. Good stuff.
Really, oh my gosh! What a coincidence that you've written this review to show me how all of the negatives are actually positives for a C++ linux guru who doesn't own his own computer! I feel like I should run down to The Apple Store (TM) and make an appointment with a Genius (R) immediately.
Intel is only "refining" the 14nm design through the natural course of their "tick-tock" process (which has now added a third "tock", which seems likely to be due to lack of real competition). The fact remains that intel opened their 10nm fab in July, we're 6 months into production, and Canyonlake is on track for next year:
When one of our laptops dies, I'm paying someone to work, but they don't have a proper computer work on.
Or, you know, you could engage in good IT management practices for your organization, maintain proper warranty coverage and service contracts which gets hardware up and running the next day, coupled with a hot spare for emergencies, and a proper accounting of machine age as well as a purchasing timeline and budgeting.
Nah, your way sounds much more cost effective and efficient.
Slashdot Mirror
You know, if you're going to be condescending and sarcastic, you could at least know what the fuck you're talking about, since apparently you have been asleep the last 20 years. I'll just go ahead and do a five second google and link you to Dell's offerings for the data center. I mean, whoever heard of GPU assisted computing, right? XD
New codecs like H.265 and VP9 need 5x the servers costs because of their complexity.
H.265 encode and decode is baked into all hardware produced by the big three video card manufacturers.
So, this being "progressive taxation" is just a liiiiitle bit hyperbolic.

Hate to break it to you chief, but HIllary Clinton lost the election 153 days ago.

Well, you certainly come across an an unbiased voice of reason.

So for the past 3.5 years you haven't been able to use a USB hard disk with the PS4? That seems pretty consumer-unfriendly.
