Brussels Eurocrats keep threatening to do that whenever Britain infringes on one of their petty little ukases, which was a principal reason for the Brexit vote.
I'm not a Christian and I don't define life as starting at the instant of fertilization, but doesn't life start at some time that has to be specified by law, a definition that is meaningful in cases like the murder of a pregnant woman? Since have put a lot of effort into legally defining death as cessation of brain activity, why not use the start of brain activity as the definition of humanity in secular law?
There is no way that American workers can directly outproduce Foxconn's slave army. The way we get back production is by robotizing the jobs, at which time the new American jobs become servicing and programming the bots.
"1. There is a small group of H1-Bs who are actually competent and probably help keeping us profitable"
This would be the sort of person we want as a conventional immigrant, rather than as a peon who is tied to one employer and gets sent back as soon as that employer is done with him.
"You going to sell a passively driving SDC to THAT consumer with claptrap about 'the greater good'? They'll get in their big gas guzzling SUV, take a big swig of beer, give you the finger and run you over just for suggesting it."
Ultimately, the self-driving cars will all be owned by fleet operators whose concern for personal ego will be overridden by their corporate lawyers.
" unlike the dozen inkjets I've had in the same timeframe..."
And because what you used those dozen inkjets for was making the occasional photo print, you can now get better prints from a service like Snapfish, and for less than the price of the cartridges that on most occasions dried out and clotted before you could finish them.
". They will call you racist, xenophobic, and probably a few other things for simply wanting decent conditions to raise your family. White flight is blaming white people for making a very rational move to exit violence where they will be blamed and not protected."
And now, while there is still an ongoing shift of population going to the burbs, young people moving back to inner-city neighborhoods and fixing them up is also held to be racist and xenophobic for some reason. That's why nobody listens to academic SJWs any more.
That's because the shows are British. This will go on until sharia law is imposed over there, at which time we will have to import our PBS nipples from, say, Canada.
The market price of a taxi medallion tells us whether the commissar deciding how many cabs there should be in your city is doing a good job. If he is, the price of a medallion will not change over time; if it shoots up, he is under-allocating cabs, probably at the behest of cab companies. If the price of a medallion drops, it means his attempt to under-allocate cabs at the bidding of taxi companies is being undercut by Uber.
Thinking like a commissar, that means it's time to legislate the ridesharing companies out of existence before the capitalist termites take his useless little job.
I use Siri all the time. Think of it as a macro language for conveniently connecting multiple apps.
Squinting in the bright sunlight, I could log onto my phone, go to the Contacts app, scroll down to Joseph Blow, tap his address to bring up Maps, then tap Directions, then the Drive icon to have Maps display a route, then tap Go.
OR, I can just pull out my phone and say, "Hey Siri, navigate to Joseph Blow!"
Please? This drip and dribble of single techs to extend the smartphone is maddening. Just unify the blessed things and give everyone a medical tricorder already!
If we did have a fully integrated tricorder, it would legally be a medical device, and complex enough that it wouldn't earn FDA approval by any stardate that today's investors could envision. Drips and dribbles of single technologies, each one below the FDA radar, is the way to go.
Doctors? This is about pharma companies. Having bestowed upon us four different boner pills, you would think they could come up with an addiction-free painkiller.
And this is where it should have been rolled out first, not as a toy for dudebros to wear in clubs.
Think of surgeons and pilots who need HUD data while at work, repair personnel who can have manual pages open while they fix your product, lawyers being able to search Lexis in the courtroom, and wilderness guides able to have the 'map in front of them' at all times as a link to their GPS.

Do problems like this have anything to do with the bizarre user-level error messages that Drupal likes to throws off when it is misconfigured?
Perhaps he should get some guru meditation.

This is my biggest critique of capitalism: it incentivizes and rewards horrible things like this.
Actually, it's a drawback of lobbying, not capitalism.

Oh look. An american saying his european trying to insult everyone. Lame.
A real European wouldn't be able to insult anyone, lest the authorities in Brussels turn him into a carbon fiber coffee table for sale at Ikea.

"The only difference is that Uber drivers don't have 1/10 of the knowledge of the streets and traffic patterns as real taxi drivers."
Which is a feature, not a bug. Uber drivers follow the company GPS route rather than the 'creative' route dreamed up by the medallion cabbie.

"Was this a typo and they meant "Mom"?"
Mum is British for mom.
When did asperatus, the original name, morph into asperitas?
I have pictures of this cloud type, taken on a local hike January 2013 in central Arizona.

In essence we are rats debating whether we have free will, not knowing whether we live in the wild or in a laboratory.
"This is the driving force behind the 'war on drugs'"
Also, gaining the legal right to steal peoples' stuff without due process.
But the relationship between addiction and depression is a very real one:

People stay on the most common addictive substances to keep depression at bay.
Doctors? This is about pharma companies. Having bestowed upon us four different boner pills, you would think they could come up with an addiction-free painkiller.
Not a single Jules Verne reference?!?!?!?
That would be Iceland.
