Presumably, if you can decelerate faster you can also accelerate faster. Given that you have to take all the fuel for deceleration with you but not (or at least less) the one for acceleration, I can see how having the destination help decelerate is useful...
I have not seen the movie but a bank transfer with a progress bar that takes minutes does not sound unrealistic.
Banking systems are highly distributed and need a high level assurance/consistency.
Not so long ago an actual (inter-bank) transfer (e.g. within Germany) would only be done overnight, hours
after it has been booked internally.
The progress bar could represent all the different synchronization steps...
25 and 7.
I guess that they claim that the applicants numbers count, because "[...] Asian applicants were routinely eliminated during the resume screen and telephone interview phases despite being as qualified as white applicants [...]".

One of their claims is that from 730 "qualified" applicants for positions as QA Engineer only one Asian were hired and six non-Asian.
Even though 77% of applicants were Asian.
So they do not claim that the hirings should be representative of "the population", just that this is an unlikely outcome for a discrimination free selection (actually they claim a chance of 1 in 741).
They allege that from 1160 applicants for positions as Software Engineers only 11 Asian were hired, while 14 non-Asians were hired.
Even though 85% of applicants were Asian.
Not sure that this is enough data to prove discrimination, but at first glance those numbers do warrant some suspicion.
His endorsement seems to be mainly based on that there is no one else left. He should have endorsed Jill_Stein, at least she might know someone that is not from her state...
"We used the tool to identify inefficiencies with a number of internal types."
That is about the most technically interesting part of the whole article.
Would have been nice to have a bit more of what was changed, how, why,...
Speak for yourself. I love paying tax, I think its a huge bargain.
The only problem I have with my tax men (and women:)) is that they are not doing enough to catch tax dodgers and big company tax evaders.
But man I love leaving in a civilized way (emergency services, roads, water, food, building codes, consumer protection,...) being able to go essentially anywhere at anytime without worrying about beeing robbed...
Throw it out of the window and call the fire department. Which most likely will include an investigation why that something caught fire. At least here they can charge you the costs if it was your fault...
If that is the case it will seriously hinder their standing in the EU. Every single top EU representative and bureaucrat wants them gone NOW, they have enough of Britain always crying that they would leave. Staying in would likely be very expensive. Good-Bye to any special benefits and rebates, and on top of that a likely Good-Bye to Scotland possibly Northern Ireland too.
Besides, the EU is already looking for ways to kick them out if they attempt to not trigger Article 50. Not sure if they manage but they can make their life pretty difficult as many decisions are majority based and they can just pretend Britain is not in the EU anymore...
Technically this was just a show of hand with no legal ramifications at all...
Parliament can still do whatever it pleases and it would still "Democracy happend".
Well the majority of parliament wants to stay. Guess who has legally the final say? Right parliament.
So all those asking for a second referendum are not fucking the system at all.
I personally think it is reasonable for the British parliament to ensure that this was not a fluke but a consistent opinion of the electorate before "fucking the system" and voting against their conscience...
To further the point the Bundesverfassungsgericht (Germany's constitutional court) is the most trusted public institution by far. Getting consistent (over several decades) approval/trusted rating of 70% and upwards [1].
Also to enforce your rights against the government you have four courts that the government can not appeal (since it has no basic rights).
The lowest being the Bundesgerichtshof which is the top civil court, then you have the EU's Court of Justice and the supernational European Court of Human Rights and then the Bundesverfassungsgericht. In Germany all of their rulings are legally binding if they find a violation of basic rights.
I don't recall Grover Cleveland (or any other president) telling the Justice department not to defend a law(*).
Well your link claims he deems the law unconstitutional and will therefore will not claim it is constitutional before court. That kind of sounds like doing his job.
Actually to be sure to be the candidate, he still needs to absolute majority in the convention, because the other could join forces and vote for someone together to prevent him.
... but then who would force his hand if he refused?
Most likely the military... that would be a damn good reason for a coup.
The founders most likely wanted a weak-ish federal government and thus decided that when in doubt a stalled congress is better than an overactive one. Should congress do nothing and then the states would be able to do whatever they please...

Or it might be that in the EU workers also spent time not working ...
... and the time off is totally worth it :)

Let's compare the working times [1]:
United States 1,790 hours work / year
Germany 1,371 hours work / year
And Productivity [2]:
United States $ 68.3 GDP / hour
Germany $ 65.5 GDP / hour
Not that much of a difference

Well their other two samples are 1160 and 730 applicants.

Do you have a cite/link for that regulation? My google-fu was not up to it ...
