Oh yeah, because as we well know trains are never late. Our train services have been the epitome of punctuality to the point that I have probably not arrived on time more than twice in the past five years and have still have to leave an hour and a half early every day to account for the delays.

In jurisdictions where they are banned, all of the above are high risk and high yield enterprises for effectively unskilled individuals typically supervised by organised crime. I do not see many people being ready to go to prison for tax evasion in order to work as an underpaid, uninsured and non-unionized taxi driver. May as well collect welfare instead.
Indeed. I would very much like to see this case go to court and get a precedent in place. In my opinion this should be handled like other services, wherein the provider can deny service but only after warning the customer a few months in advance.
People of Japan already receive interest on any and all yen they hold, because their currency has been deflating for the past couple of years. Needless to say, the are much better means of keeping wealth in a bank than on a checking account.
We shouldn't licence person operate cars to be used when autonomous cars are a viable alternative. If you want to go into silly analogies, we probably shouldn't also licence nuclear weaponry to the general populace even though they may find a creative use for it like killing vermin. Could be doing this all day, buddy.
Yes, precisely like cash. Now I know that many on/. are very much from the "nobody knowing how much Sprite I buy is more important than busting tax evaders and preventing drug trafficking" camp, but there being an equivalent means of escaping prosecution now is not an argument for introducing new means in the future. From Mankiw's "Principles of Economics":
One puzzle about the money stock of the U.S. economy concerns the amount of currency [read: cash]. In 1998 there was about $460 billion of currency outstanding. To put this number in perspective, we can divide it by 205 million, the number of adults (age sixteen and over) in the United States. This calculation implies that the average adult holds about $2,240 of currency. Most people are surprised to learn that our economy has so much currency because they carry far less than this in their wallets.
Who is holding all this currency? No one knows for sure, but there are two plausible explanations.
The first explanation is that much of the currency is being held abroad. In foreign countries without a stable monetary system, people often prefer U.S.
dollars to domestic assets. It is, in fact, not unusual to see U.S. dollars being used overseas as the medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value.
The second explanation is that much of the currency is being held by drug dealers, tax evaders, and other criminals. For most people in the U.S. economy, currency is not a particularly good way to hold wealth. Not only can currency be lost or stolen, but it also does not earn interest, whereas a bank deposit does.
Thus, most people hold only small amounts of currency. By contrast, criminals may avoid putting their wealth in banks, because a bank deposit gives police a
paper trail with which to trace their illegal activities. For criminals, currency may be the best store of value available.
I am sorry, pal, but your phone is not a Mercedes. In fact, I don't remember a time when Mercedes was giving away smaller Mercedeses to people who bought slightly larger Mercedeses.
Just give it another year! According to Windows Central, next year everything will get fantastic! They have been saying so for half a decade or so now, so it has to be right.
People who have an issue with the singular they don't know how good they've got it. In Germany, you have to add both genders to the articles, the adjectives and the nouns. Thus:
Der neuer Mitarbeiter soll sich ausweisen. (The new employee should identify himself.)
Becomes:
Der/die neue/r Mitarbeiter/in soll sich ausweisen.
I wish I was making this up. I don't know what kind of genius came up with that brilliant solution, completely ignoring the simple fact that "Mitarbeiterin" is still just a derivation of "Mitarbeiter" that is the default male position.
The reason is simple: people who live in close quarters have learned that it's important to get along.
Which is why cities consistently have higher crime rates than rural areas. Jesus Christ, I don't exactly live in the middle of nowhere either, but could you have your head any further up your rectum.
There is no difference in diplomacy between a treaty, an agreement, a communique, a declaration and so forth. They are all literally the same thing and may include any number of strict or symbolic clauses.
Love, two-thirds of Americans have some tertiary education and a half of those hold an undergrad degree. Now that is just my personal experience, but a good number of these people are complete and utter idiots.
While I always appreciate a good guilt trip, Japan had equally significant pollution issues before they passed the general environmental act somewhere in early 1970s after which they nonetheless continued to flood the United States with cheap cars. Granted, that was partially possible due to the Breton Woods system, but considering the portion of Chinese population still living on under 2$ a day, as emotionally appealing as it is, your argument does not really have a leg to stand on.
Untag yourself and unfriend your parents on Facebook. Done. Nobody but their friends will see it. If it is embarrassment you are afraid of, there are many more ways they can humiliate you without any malice or you having legal recourse.
Really, the article should have been titled "18-year-old Is Suing Her Parents For Posting Embarrassing Childhood Photos To Facebook", because this is what becomes immediately apparent even before you start reading the text itself.

That's now how the legal system works.
Non-profit and any revenue made is well below the yearly taxation threshold.

Only on /. and other equally paranoid circles, bud.

I wonder what would happen if Chris made use of the right to be forgotten.

Since it's the WSJ reporting it, they probably mean PewDiePie.

Risky as in driving without a seatbelt risky.

mail.google is quite a bit catchier than mail.google.com. It's just removing redundancies.
A million dollars to whoever stabs aglider first. Just saying.

Which is entirely irrelevant to the point made.
People usually stop going to school around the age of eighteen.
