What people seem to forget is... airline employees have contract rights ( based on that ticket you bought ) that states something like this... " if you make me feel uncomfortable, I will do my best to boot you off the flight "
While 99% of these are violence related (drunks, people taking a piss in flight on the floor... ) A steward for any reason they see fit, if they feel uncomfortable will boot you. Seen it more than once with those passengers that say "I'm calling the cop's" and the steward say's "please do, and everyone else please keep boarding", and "you whom are calling the cop's, I'll wait right here as the plane leaves". I get a laugh every time.
I do recall that episode and was going to write about it. It was late 80's. I will say that I don't recall it being 2 feet long and I don't recall it being connected to anything. But you are exactly correct about the test. they disabled it somehow, and over the course of 5 minutes it was walking again and running some sort of search pattern. But now I don't recall if they disabled a leg or not.
This brings on a side point: I do recall a study about repetitive science and lab work (also coding): their study showed that about 5% to 10% of all lab work has already been done within the same firm (or university) and about 15% of all lab work is duplicated and publicly documented. My take... do a good search and most of it should be online LOL
With Comcast, you get some sort of boost... But they are rather correct on the service contract. You get internet access. Here is the catch The other side (in this case net flicks) has flooded the lines and won't pay to carry the transmission. The consumer still gets the internet access and the transmission, but not at the fault of the Comcast.
Your UPS analogy is slightly off... The better analogy is... You buy a house near a bridge The bridge has 2 lanes When you see the bridge at 4am there is nobody But at 7am it's packed with delays towards your office and the other lane empty (empty lane has a toll booth) You bought the house based on thinking it was going to be a simple ride to the office and free 1 way What you discovered is huge delays.
Now you're asked to build another bridge lane, but the town won't help foot the bill unless it get's to build a toll booth and raise the rates. Taxpayers don't want to foot the bill.
That's part of the entire issue. Who's to blame when 2 auto's go bump. While 2 compatible communication systems should not crash or even bumps, what do you do when you got a chunk of metal barreling down the road in the left lane and the driver falls asleep. While it's obvious to us that sleepy head should bear all the blame, the dispute will be fought in court.
Not only that, I would think that this would force all the manufactures of auto's to open new companies to avoid the legal liability to the main brand. IE: ford auto drive group, licensed to use the designs...
While I respect and understand your point. I have to have some hope that this current generation, will invest in making the energy cheaper and cleaner. Overall, I think that the rich countries have done a decent job, I know that there is a ton of toxic companies, but I think there are more cleaner thinking companies too.
Look at the project in Spain that cost 300 Million euro's. I think that proved that solar storage works, and once someone knows it works, investors line up to fund it. So, in the future, we might see Spain, Greece, and Italy, providing the long term solar energy to most of Europe for daylight base loads. Got the same idea for Florida, Texas and Mississippi are doing the same for west of the Rockies daylight baseload.
OK, Just read the Brooking's report. It validates everything I said. Specifically on the lending with 20% down. ( Which seems to be an unwritten rule, not a federal rule which must be abided by). In reference to dismal profits... If I'm a USA bank doing 100 billion in transactions @ 5% And you're doing less even at a higher percentage rate. I'll have you beat because the volume of transaction NOT on the quality of the transactions.
From reading the report, the quality of the transaction from Canada seemed to be higher. So again, I am validated, You rode out the storm, we hit the rocks.
Just want to debunk 1 aspect of your statement : banking It was not your over a regulated banking system that prevented the problem It was good business sense. Your banking people offered lending at 1/2% or more During the entire cycle (2002 to 2007) with requirements of 20% down. This was un-competitive in the market, BUT was using good common sense in lending So the crisis was a non-issue to most of the Canadian Banking portfolio holding.
I always like to clear this up, bad lending kills long term business, good common Sense lending always earns less short term, but long term success is assured
In Capitalism, yes. Since the best will always be paid top $$$ I really don't know how to argue the no side of this question but I believe that it has to do with job security.
Just might work. Don't forget we have many people that have influenced history via sarcasm or joke's. Lenny Bruce arrests leading to George Carlins list of 7 things you cannot say on the air. Leading to court cases... Which lead up to a refined perspective of what might be accepted. I still have never understood the rules, but it seems that it's more understandable by those that deal with Media.
So looking for someone that has a following, and that following can effectively make a change in the world (think of a Mother Teresa type person) and finding them is important, what they think people just might act upon them. Another person that when they speak people listen is Warren Buffet...
This is so amazingly true, well at least about myself. I find that I am the most likely the bottom of the pile when it comes to planning, but flow charting the idea out completely, I got everyone beat. It works like this and I am laughing while writing this:
Someone had the idea I R&D the idea I flow out all the steps to the idea in insane detail I hand it over to more people to gather even more details Get it back and re-flow the entire idea I hand in back to some-else to put a time frame Get's back into my hands and I try to re-flow it out for efficiency, moving parts around (huge mind map mostly) Back to the time frame guys Kicked up to someone else Goes into testing (production) Comes back to me, the results are validated or the idea tossed into the can and we record where we made mistakes.
I've never had the opportunity to get a speeding ticket in Europe or England... Would you mind detailing how huge some of the fines are? I understand that fines are sometimes related to income, which, I think makes it slightly more fair ( a wealthy person would pay more than the base line income fine )...
Well using population density is really weird, but hmmm let just compare a bit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... NJ, the whole state is crazy dense ( I lived in NJ and I can attest to it's density ) 1200 pe square mile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Germany has only 585 per sq. mile. while these numbers seem nice to make a statement, reality these numbers need to be adjusted to reflect distance to viable work and the density in that distance. so for example : 42nd st. ( NYC), Harrods in London, Eiffel tower in Paris, these are the center of viable work, then figure out densities from these locations base on commute times. I know from my own research in real estate rentals that the commute time from the bus stop in NJ to Port Authority or to Hoboken ( path station ) increase in value per square foot for ever 5 minutes saved. I would get about 1400 per month in Fort Lee and 1800 per month in North Bergen with all other factors being similar.
I've gotten violent over a parking spot in miami fl. Seems like people here pull in nose first, and I've always passed the spot ( with the blinker on ) and reverse in. Had some jerk take my spot that I waited for. got out, started beating on his window, Cop came over, told me to stop, and told the guy he was wrong. I got my spot and a verbal warning. Lucky that the cop saw it. He warned me that most of the time, people get shot over these things.
In fort lee I rented my second floor apartment for 1400 and that was a simple 2 bedroom for 1400.00. I'm guessing but if I still owned it I would be mid 2300 to 2800's
since you might not know ( disclosure I am a realtor )
in reference to A) Stronger protections for consumers, since you usually don't get to negotiate term-by-term of your insurance contract... You can insure in the USA with Chubb, they are rather good at line by line. Also you'll pay more.
B) Overhaul our POS legal system so that most straight-forward civil matters can be resolved without any need for lawyers and unaffordable legal expenses... Nope it does work, problem is the lag time from stupid laws created till it's removed. sometimes it takes years for the effects of a law to removed. Sorry I can not cite a case.
C) Require a bond or other security from your tenants to offset such potential losses... Yes, it's called renters insurance, made payable to the landlord, which when a renter is willing to get themselves covered, you will have a corresponding decrease in rental income ( fair is fair since the liability offset and the tenant is paying this in full) . this is my personal preference, For home's yes it's worth it, condo's which are concrete all around with concrete block, electric stoves, and cook-top electric, the loss is minimal maybe 20K so not worth it, most likely covered under your own policy.
As for subletting, If I own the place, I base the revenue on the risk of a 1 year lease, it's all about wear and tear at the end. An asset has a specific life value ( carpets about 5 years, ceramic tiles about 7, wood floors need a full redo every 8 years or so depending ), so if more traffic ( wear and tear ) happens, I need to replace faster. so your little bit of subletting revenue won't offset the risk ( let's not even talk of being party to the sub-let with the insurance company ).
Subletting, while great, is high risk. and if the tenant that sublet to me, does not have a hotel license, I could stay in that place until eviction. ( rental rules are different from hotel rules )
OK, based on what you are writing, I guess you grok code checking and point of faulures. Great, now how the heck do you share your knowledge...
Disclosure: I'm a realtor whom loves to tinker with anything that has gears, and use to code real damn serious with the goal of low IO, low CPU and low Memory.
So back too... how are you going to share your knowledge, I use a mindmapp to share my realtor advice with others, it always looks like a basic commands ( if, then, else, gosub... LOL ). I happen to use mindmapps because I discovered that I'm a visual person in learning and effective planning.
are you willing to share, for example some of the basic steps and just upload the it, or better, take someone else work and improve on it then publish it citing your source ( maybe we can get lucky and it would be a wiki....
Look, I'm not good at what you do, but if you wanted real estate advice, I think I one of the best. Your talking like grok code, so share, share often, and if no one listens, fine. But what if they do??? then you've helped.
Well, maybe this is a blessing. While it's open source, maybe multiple eye's need to look at it for final validation. While never have worked with open source, I do work with data very often. I re-validate entries a lot and just scan data look for something odd. I am amazed at the amount of errors I find, so I report them and go from that point onwards. sometimes I work with teams of people and have a kind of race looking to find the most errors, then we go out and the winner only buys 1 round, and does not pay the bill for dinner.
well I lived in NJ ( still love NJ ) and yes bergen county has the blue sky and some towns don't sell alcohol on sunday too. also Bergen County has Aaa rating for bonds which is real good if not great ( Alpine has AAA if I recall correctly ) they found a way to make it work
as for wealth it ranks in the 30's consistently nation wide which is not bad for population of about 900000 people
ok then on to buying real estate and unfair challenges
timing is everything, someone once said Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered and that's a very true statement I keep thinking of a deal I saw come across the board once, it was a huge waterfront ( chicago ) mall something like 500,000 sqft sold in 2004. I asked myself why is it being sold, then I realized, timing, there was about 2 years left in the market so sell into the buying.
referencing now, interest rates are 5% to 6% on 30 years fixed I started when the market was 16.75 on my first loan. Celebrated when I got 9 7/8 on another loan.
what's so unfair about me getting money at 16.75% it was a good deal that left me happy, everyone won. money is cheap right now, so figure out how to get some and look 15 years down the road heck I have never seen such a level playing field in all my life.
I bet I could find a handy man special in your area, that would not exceed 23% of your net income on the mortgage I bet I could find a multifamily that you would be at break even or a small profit every month utilizing 23% of your net income on the mortgage plus the rental income.
Unfair Challenges : Really, you need look at what unfair really is, we just saw a homeless guy learn how to code, at least he's trying, what's unfair is people want handouts all the time, I myself would create some-sort of workfare. I hear the cries from people, get rid of the illegals... please, the last time we tried that ( after ww2 we got rid of 800,000 ) consumer vegetable prices rose, the we tried getting rid of migrant workers, prices rose again and many plantation went bust. labor is supply vs demand, Also I picked peppers, shucked corn and baled hay in my past so hard labor is nothing new.
Please get rid of the illegals, I assure you, your cost for produce will increase ( or rot in the fields ) or we will see Americans rob each others back yard gardens. until the market fixes the pricing ( we see what happens when gas goes up ) and people get on with it. gee did you not see your lemon prices go up last week ??
Please, teach people how to read, how to spend wisely, I don't own a big screen tv and the one I got is 8 years old. if you want to change the system, then go out, buy a multi-family unit, rent it cheaply and take the loss. force the tenant to take classes as part of the lease of the apartment... Oh wait, student loans, there is one thing you can do, fight the government and force all student loans to be done with accredited schools, that should take some weight off peoples back.
yep I like the field just the way it is, I've been on both sides of the fence and I am working hard to get my fair share of it, and screw those that think it's unfair, what's unfair is that they want it all for free. try working for commission only and having to pay your bills, dealing with bullshit buyers whom can't make up their minds, and a ton of crap. then they want a kick-back or a discount on your commission. Nope, won't happen with me, I work hard and plan to keep what I make. One day I'll own 1000 units, charge sky high rents and make a fortune, and if I am lucky, off all hard work of all those whom cry unfair.
that land that you rent out at 10 per acre. I would rather sow my own crops in. it's more cost effective, try jews mallow ( interesting taste and your goats will love it so you need to fence it off ), if you live near an African or Egyptian population, they will buy your crop without even a blink.
beyond that, grow some tobacco, you won't sell that crop, but what you'll do is take the leaves, soak them, and spray your entire field. get's rid of most insects that way ( I get cigars and make tobacco juice, never have an insect problem.
you asked "Should generation after generation after generation, an entire class of people, be stuck working to paying for the leisurely life of those who were by some means or another fortunate enough to get the upper hand on them, without ever working their way out of it even over generations of struggling to do so"
my reply is yes!! Well I have to defend my views, so I shall and this is from my perspective and no one else. a) the USA is the land of opportunity ( example the guy whom cleaned the streets of 47th in NYC, was panning for gold dust and would make 300 every days ) b) it's got tons of libraries which everyone knows is the best place to learn and defend yourself from others ( it was my second childhood home ) c) it's your right to fight to succeed in this country, unlike other nations, you don't have to bribe your way to get contract, you just have to be real good at your job. d) The law is rather equal overall ( why do you think Drug dealers and De-beers diamonds avoid the USA, once your caught, your just a number and money won't buy you out as easy as other places ) e) If you are hungry and without shelter, there is always a place where you can stay dry or eat and sometimes both.
Now, we know that it's not all roses like I stated, but I have found that I know where these roses are. heck if I ever got hungry or short of funds, I know exactly where to pan handle and most likely make 100 every day.
Oh, having a mobile home is a home, it's a roof over your head, hook up to sewage, water access and electricity. good start. when you move on in your life, rent it out. the cash on cash returns on them are huge.
Also, learn about debit management, always pay off the highest interest rate card first. call all your credit card companies and ask for a reduction on the interest rate, also balance transfer from high interest rate card to lowest rate card.... this all works.

What people seem to forget is ... airline employees have contract rights ( based on that ticket you bought ) that states something like this... " if you make me feel uncomfortable, I will do my best to boot you off the flight "
While 99% of these are violence related (drunks, people taking a piss in flight on the floor ... ) A steward for any reason they see fit, if they feel uncomfortable will boot you. Seen it more than once with those passengers that say "I'm calling the cop's" and the steward say's "please do, and everyone else please keep boarding", and "you whom are calling the cop's, I'll wait right here as the plane leaves". I get a laugh every time.
a bit of research and I found

used this search on google.... MIT robot ants walking
came up with this

history repeating itself LOL
I do recall that episode and was going to write about it. It was late 80's. I will say that I don't recall it being 2 feet long and I don't recall it being connected to anything. But you are exactly correct about the test. they disabled it somehow, and over the course of 5 minutes it was walking again and running some sort of search pattern.
But now I don't recall if they disabled a leg or not.
This brings on a side point:
I do recall a study about repetitive science and lab work (also coding): their study showed that about 5% to 10% of all lab work has already been done within the same firm (or university) and about 15% of all lab work is duplicated and publicly documented. My take... do a good search and most of it should be online LOL
With Comcast, you get some sort of boost... But they are rather correct on the service contract. You get internet access.
Here is the catch
The other side (in this case net flicks) has flooded the lines and won't pay to carry the transmission.
The consumer still gets the internet access and the transmission, but not at the fault of the Comcast.
Your UPS analogy is slightly off... ... You buy a house near a bridge
The better analogy is
The bridge has 2 lanes
When you see the bridge at 4am there is nobody
But at 7am it's packed with delays towards your office and the other lane empty (empty lane has a toll booth)
You bought the house based on thinking it was going to be a simple ride to the office and free 1 way
What you discovered is huge delays.
Now you're asked to build another bridge lane, but the town won't help foot the bill unless it get's to build a toll booth and raise
the rates. Taxpayers don't want to foot the bill.
That's part of the entire issue. Who's to blame when 2 auto's go bump.
While 2 compatible communication systems should not crash or even bumps, what do you do when you got a chunk of metal barreling down the road in the left lane and the driver falls asleep. While it's obvious to us that sleepy head should bear all the blame, the dispute will be fought in court.
Not only that, I would think that this would force all the manufactures of auto's to open new companies to avoid the legal liability to the main brand. IE: ford auto drive group, licensed to use the designs...
While I respect and understand your point. I have to have some hope that this current generation, will invest in making the energy cheaper and cleaner. Overall, I think that the rich countries have done a decent job, I know that there is a ton of toxic companies, but I think there are more cleaner thinking companies too.
Look at the project in Spain that cost 300 Million euro's. I think that proved that solar storage works, and once someone knows it works, investors line up to fund it. So, in the future, we might see Spain, Greece, and Italy, providing the long term solar energy to most of Europe for daylight base loads. Got the same idea for Florida, Texas and Mississippi are doing the same for west of the Rockies daylight baseload.
OK, Just read the Brooking's report. It validates everything I said. Specifically on the lending with 20% down. ( Which seems to be an unwritten rule, not a federal rule which must be abided by).
In reference to dismal profits...
If I'm a USA bank doing 100 billion in transactions @ 5%
And you're doing less even at a higher percentage rate.
I'll have you beat because the volume of transaction
NOT on the quality of the transactions.
From reading the report, the quality of the transaction from Canada seemed to be higher.
So again, I am validated, You rode out the storm, we hit the rocks.
Just want to debunk 1 aspect of your statement : banking
It was not your over a regulated banking system that prevented the problem
It was good business sense. Your banking people offered lending at 1/2% or more
During the entire cycle (2002 to 2007) with requirements of 20% down.
This was un-competitive in the market, BUT was using good common sense in lending
So the crisis was a non-issue to most of the Canadian Banking portfolio holding.
I always like to clear this up, bad lending kills long term business, good common
Sense lending always earns less short term, but long term success is assured
In Capitalism, yes. Since the best will always be paid top $$$
I really don't know how to argue the no side of this question but I believe that it has to do with job security.
I would advise your girlfriend to get a job with the military. History and battle tactics repeat themselves often, so her use would be of benefit.
Just might work. Don't forget we have many people that have influenced history via sarcasm or joke's. Lenny Bruce arrests leading to George Carlins list of 7 things you cannot say on the air. Leading to court cases... Which lead up to a refined perspective of what might be accepted. I still have never understood the rules, but it seems that it's more understandable by those that deal with Media.
So looking for someone that has a following, and that following can effectively make a change in the world (think of a Mother Teresa type person) and finding them is important, what they think people just might act upon them. Another person that when they speak people listen is Warren Buffet ...
anyway have a great day
This is so amazingly true, well at least about myself. I find that I am the most likely the bottom of the pile when it comes to planning, but flow charting the idea out completely, I got everyone beat. It works like this and I am laughing while writing this:
Someone had the idea
I R&D the idea
I flow out all the steps to the idea in insane detail
I hand it over to more people to gather even more details
Get it back and re-flow the entire idea
I hand in back to some-else to put a time frame
Get's back into my hands and I try to re-flow it out for efficiency, moving parts around (huge mind map mostly)
Back to the time frame guys
Kicked up to someone else
Goes into testing (production)
Comes back to me, the results are validated or the idea tossed into the can and we record where we made mistakes.

if you want to change the system, then go out, buy a multi-family unit, rent it cheaply and take the loss. force the tenant to take classes as part of the lease of the apartment...
Oh wait, student loans, there is one thing you can do, fight the government and force all student loans to be done with accredited schools, that should take some weight off peoples back.
yep I like the field just the way it is, I've been on both sides of the fence and I am working hard to get my fair share of it, and screw those that think it's unfair, what's unfair is that they want it all for free. try working for commission only and having to pay your bills, dealing with bullshit buyers whom can't make up their minds, and a ton of crap. then they want a kick-back or a discount on your commission. Nope, won't happen with me, I work hard and plan to keep what I make. One day I'll own 1000 units, charge sky high rents and make a fortune, and if I am lucky, off all hard work of all those whom cry unfair.
that land that you rent out at 10 per acre. I would rather sow my own crops in. it's more cost effective, try jews mallow ( interesting taste and your goats will love it so you need to fence it off ), if you live near an African or Egyptian population, they will buy your crop without even a blink.
beyond that, grow some tobacco, you won't sell that crop, but what you'll do is take the leaves, soak them, and spray your entire field. get's rid of most insects that way ( I get cigars and make tobacco juice, never have an insect problem.
you asked "Should generation after generation after generation, an entire class of people, be stuck working to paying for the leisurely life of those who were by some means or another fortunate enough to get the upper hand on them, without ever working their way out of it even over generations of struggling to do so"
my reply is yes!!
Well I have to defend my views, so I shall and this is from my perspective and no one else.
a) the USA is the land of opportunity ( example the guy whom cleaned the streets of 47th in NYC, was panning for gold dust and would make 300 every days )
b) it's got tons of libraries which everyone knows is the best place to learn and defend yourself from others ( it was my second childhood home )
c) it's your right to fight to succeed in this country, unlike other nations, you don't have to bribe your way to get contract, you just have to be real good at your job.
d) The law is rather equal overall ( why do you think Drug dealers and De-beers diamonds avoid the USA, once your caught, your just a number and money won't buy you out as easy as other places )
e) If you are hungry and without shelter, there is always a place where you can stay dry or eat and sometimes both.
Now, we know that it's not all roses like I stated, but I have found that I know where these roses are.
heck if I ever got hungry or short of funds, I know exactly where to pan handle and most likely make 100 every day.
Oh, having a mobile home is a home, it's a roof over your head, hook up to sewage, water access and electricity. good start.
when you move on in your life, rent it out. the cash on cash returns on them are huge.
Also, learn about debit management, always pay off the highest interest rate card first. call all your credit card companies and ask for a reduction on the interest rate, also balance transfer from high interest rate card to lowest rate card. ... this all works.
