Eliminate the whole H-1B visa peonage category. If you want to come to the US to work, come as a regular immigrant. Let there be just one category of immigration, starting with getting a permanent resident visa. This benefits you as an immigrant, because it gives you same rights everyone else has, including being able to complain without being shipped back by your overseer, and puts you on the same basis as other workers in your area.
"Muslims don't look so violent if you consider the other causes, like political unrest, foreign forces occupation, wars, etc"
They blow us up, we retaliate, and they yell "War! Occupation!"
So why did they hate us before 9/11 and before we objected to Iraq seizing Kuwait? In those days our foreign policy in the ME consisted of shoveling vast sums of money into their oil coffers with zero effort on their part required. No having to rebuild a whole manufacturing infrastructure from radioactive ashes, like Japan. Everybody else in the world wishes they could be 'colonized' in that way.
Those regulations are in place for a reason. Your Uber ride can be an unlicensed, uninsured deathtrap as it is: dropping out of the sky and killing innocents because you were too lazy to follow FAA regulations is an entirely new level of stupidity.
Years ago when I lived in Newport Beach, CA, in an apartment complex that was full of airline pilots who did hobby flying on the weekends, it was common practice for such pilots to recruit passengers from the complex to share expenses for 4 or 6-place light plane rides to the central coast, interesting parts of Mexico, or the Colorado River recreation areas. We had a great time, and everyone was aware of the risks of general aviation.
So now, 45 years later, there's app for that. Why is this any of the FAA's concern?
Because he provided us all with such reliable and well-engineered technology... er, gotten rich through monopolistic and otherwise ethically questionable business practices, and ruthlessly exploiting the network effect of a for him happy accident that left him with a huge installed base.
What happens if the AI is intelligent enough to start ruthlessly exterminating anyone associated with Windows?
why spend all that money for a tunnel when you can simply fly over the mountains?
One primary use for the tunnel is to keep freight off the autobahn, but because it's a base tunnel, running straight under the Alps, it will allow bullet passenger trains to rip right through from Germany to Italy in half an hour. The old Gotthard Tunnel was the big engineering accomplishment of a century ago, punching through a high pass over the Alps, but it still required that trains spiral up into the mountains to the tunnel entrance, and then spiral down into the valley on the other side.
'Base tunnels' of this type are being built to replace the other long-distance tunnels through high Alpine passes. It will mean that European rail will go from being way ahead of American rail to being ludicrously far ahead of American rail.
25% of mobile Apps are crap, and proof of that only becomes obvious when they are used for the first time.
The thirty-day trial has become standard for computer applications, so why not for smartphone apps? Not a 'lite' version, but full functionality for a trial period.
This is another point in favor of OS X. A pretty good word processor, spreadsheet and presentation manager are included with it. But if you insist, you have the same choice of paying extra for MS Office - or running Libre Office, if you insist.
We would live to be 500 years old, all diseases would be cured, prescriptions would be $5 a fill, and surgery would be free if we handed over our personal preferences to advertisers.
Mathematics, which includes having it be exponentially more difficult to mine new money as time goes on, does limit the money supply, unless someone hacks the algorithm. You're talking about the float, which depends purely on the market.

Whenever I encounter a blue-uniformed worker in the store other than at checkout, it's a vendor doing the employees' work for them.

And if you catch someone using 'vision' as a verb, that's whe. You RUNNNNNN!
"leveraged" means roughly "used to improve/increase/etc.". It thus has a distinct meaning from "used".
In the VC weenie world, the term also has the meaning, "borrow recklessly, endangering everything you ever stood for."
I'll wait until it gets to plaid.
I'm reserving use of that term for when they implement maglev.

"They are actually trying to squeeze Daesh,"
The King may be trying to squeeze Daesh. An unknown, perhaps large number of Saudi's accountable-to-no-one princes support and fund ISIS.
"This is the Gotthard Base Tunnel (and there is a third tunnel, the Gotthard Road Tunnel)."
I have driven this. Yes, there's a freeway going through the heart of the Alps deep underground.

Those are those good people in our own universities, teaching queer theory instead of geography.
The number of people who don't is very large. Source: I'm Swiss and have been dealing with that my entire life.

IKEA isn't Swiss.
Everybody gets those countries mixed up. It's the place that has all the naked bankers with huge boobs.
Before taking office, was Erdogan by any chance a real estate developer with a chain of hotels and casinos?

There are now several kinds of "like." I would use the Hilarious icon.

They are priced like extremely rare collector stamps.
EXCEPT that the ones with errors do not sell for a premium.
yeah was going to ask, are muslims exempt from this?
Until the next election, yes. Legislation like this represents lobbying by university battleaxe women to protect their pet minorities from criticism.
Hate speech, like it or not, is part of having a free society. RIP, Europe.
Hate speech is free speech you don't like.
