To add support to ledow, look at the number of GPS locks that your phone gets (use the GPS Status app on Android). Who put the GPS satellites in orbit? (The US military) Do you really think they would have failed to put a full complement of cameras and other sensors on them? Hahaha!! Yeah. Right. No way in hell I can I see a military general of any country missing out on that opportunity.
Why would it need to read letters on billboards? Generally these images are used to monitor the movements of truck and armaments convoys. They're not going to be checking the truck's registration with the DMV.
To push is further in a corner, what if Carol likes to wear spandex shorts that puts her camel toe and luscious ass on full display, and is very quick to giggle and wink and all the men's jokes? How far does Carol get to go into flirting before she is in fact "asking for it"? What if I'm offended by her flirting? What if I ask her if I can be next instead?
If it is done to get a reaction, how much difference is there between overt flirting and wearing a KKK hood?
All the AA regulations say/do is that a company has to keep records of it's hiring decisions. At no point in time did AA have quotas. That was a myth. This isn't to say individual institutions might not have done quotas, but it wasn't AA that made them do it. It was a private decision (and also one that, had anyone bothered, could be challenged and ruled illegal. Yes, being a White Male is a protected class).
This is what is cause "plausible deniability". We didn't TELL them to use quotas, but we would sure as hell have used those statistics against them in any lawsuit that came around. How do you provably show that you do not discriminate against minorities? You show that you hire and promote minorities just like majority. You can't just say, "but...but...we have some black managers and female engineers." The SJWs will immediately turn to the statistics.
The same problem exists when declaring that one is not a racist. Somehow it is a negative to proclaim that you have close associations with minorities. But, how else do you fight back against the claims of racism?
That was what made the assembly line an innovation. More people working at the same time, but the were only doing one specific thing, so the overall productivity was much higher than the same number of people building individual cars.
Doing more with less people is what Ford was built on.
The ability of the states to implement taxes is not abridged, though.
Notwithstanding anything recorded in the Federal Registry, any person, collection of persons, or legal entity providing internet protocol communication services within the borders of Californian shall be taxed yearly for the market value of any equipment the the Attorney General determines is being used to throttle packet rates based upon the packets origin.
This won't catch the worst liars. Those that only tell the truth.
Modern mass media doesn't come out and tell blatant lies, for the most part. That is for rubes and small time players. They are very sophisticated in how the carefully, with surgical precision, metered out the data, and only the specific data, that fits their agenda. Their articles will be full of content, and you'll rarely find a blatant lie. You will find stories that do not support their agenda equally rare. You will rarely find facts that do not support their agendas in the stories that are written.
Building infrastructure is expensive, it's only profitable if you have economies of scale... You have to bulk build the infrastructure past every property even if those properties won't sign up as customers...
It's worse than that. The value of the network is directly correlated with the percentage of people using it. What is the point of having a municipal website to register your car online and avoid a yearly trip to the DMV, if only a small percentage of your population has access to it. The value of a communication network is that everyone is networked. Not only is a monopoly natural and inevitable, it is DESIRABLE.
These are the sort of problems that the government should be responsible for.
Muni-Broadband is just the last mile of pipe. If Netflix or Youtube traverses any one of the cabal members upstream infrastructure (which is highly likely), the traffic can/will be degraded or throttled.
That is handled by the CDN. It wouldn't take many servers at all to cache all of Netflix's movies.
I tried to use Edge to install software for the new Vive I got for Christmas. Edge wouldn't allow me to install anything. I couldn't even install DDU in order to install the Nvidia GTX 1060 I got to drive the Vive.
Since it won't do anything, I guess that you could say that it is safe.
Very few landfills do not use a biogas system nowadays. The line the bottom with a layer of clay, lay down some aeration pipes, dump in the trash, cover with more pipes and then a layer of plastic. A leachate is pumped in through the top pipes which seeps through and is picked up by the bottom ones. The leachate contains enzymes that break down anything organic and produces methane. The methane is collected and powers a generator that is providing electricity for thousands of local homes.
This type of landfill has replaced all others not just because it is "green", but because the decomposition reduces volume of trash by 70% within a few years and the electricity more than pays for itself. The volume reduction means that they can pull the plastic up, dump more trash and keep using the same land. Getting a new dump past the NIMBY factor makes this the biggest win.
But, definitely don't bother "recycling" paper. There is not point in it.
Duh! I have. Walked down the street with a garbage back picking up cans to make a few bucks. Got paid by weight. It wasn't much, but my family was poor and I was in middle school. There weren't many people wanting their yards mowed in late November.
There's no CRV in my state. People still have can collection drives to raise money for charities, and you rarely see them on the side of the road. Homeless and the poor can make a quick buck by collecting them. I did it myself when I was a kid.
Having thankfully not been to a college in ages, is it really the college administration pushing this? Is it as wide-spread as you claim?
Having attended a HBC about 20 years ago, and can attest that is was the administration allowing it then. I actually filed racism complaints and was told that there was nothing that could be done, because that particular professor had marched with Martin Luther King.
* Do I point out how it's ironic that for the longest of times, the right-wing mocked protests on campus and now they're upset that the right-wing can't protest on campus?
There's a difference between mocking a protest and showing up with black masks and baseball bats to assault people. There's also a difference between a "protests" that is in reality a mob destroying property, and an invited guest speaking at a podium to a seated and unruly crowd.
Vote libertarian. Not that it will ever happen, but the common thread among them is to quit trying to be everybody's parents (Democrats are overly motherly, while Republicans are overly fatherly.)
Unfortunately, politics and power in general tends to attract people seeking control, i.e. authoritarians.
First, I don't see how this is so much of a record. I remember waiting for the school bus in high school in 10 degreeF temps. It didn't happen often, but there were a few mornings. I've been tracking the temperatures here in NC very closely. I'm trying to paint my airplane outside, and I need for it to warm up to finish. We haven't gotten down to 10 yet.
Second, a few days of cold air causes sharks to freeze to death? Why wouldn't it swim a little deeper. A few days of negative temps is not going to cause a significant change in deep water temperatures. Surface temps down to a few feet maybe, but not down at 20/30 ft. Did they just swim to the top, scream "Aaaargh!!" when they hit the cold water at the surface and then roll belly up? I would think there would be more of a gradient where the shark would think, "Damn, it's cold up there. I'm going to go back down this way." Kinda like how we do when we walk outside for our paper in the morning.
A) Don't underestimate the level of stupidity. Consider all the times you go to Amazon to purchase product X, then you start getting popup adds for product X. (Which you're not going to buy....BECAUSE YOU JUST FUGGIN BOUGHT IT!!)
B) Don't underestimate the level of creepy that the targeting firms are willing to stoop to. I worked for a targeting firm for a year. Creepy is the CEO proclaiming his pride at our products sending a car add to a person's cell phone, and then tracking that phone as it entered a dealer ship. This data was used to show that our targeting technology was effective. Creepy is the group they had working on technology to track a cell phone within the confines of a store by triangulating the signals from multiple WiFi hotspots. The goal was to show that we could tell how long a customer would stay near a store display, and if that data would turn into a sell. (Yes. They have your credit card info. All of it. Read the fine print. You agreed that Visa, et.al., are allowed you share your information with "partners".)
C)Your last paragraph describes it completely, except that there isn't a human listening in and passing judgement on your nocturnal practices. It is a computer monitoring for a pattern. If the pattern is corrupted by multiple sound sources, the computer simply ignores it. When there is a hit, you're profile gets a tick mark, and the algorithm moves on, and they now know that you saw the commercial for AARP.
D)The companies are wiling to pay ridiculous sums of money to see that their adds turn into actual sells....plus, all this data and technology will be used by the anti-Christ when he controls the world. So, don't expect it to go away.
No, he means the super absorbent wipes that you can buy off the commercial. The reason the guy yell SHAZAM so loud was that the sound monitors and pattern recognition was poor at the time the commercial was made.

Don't you have an Antifa meeting to attend? You know, one where they play in traffic?
Your dimwitted screed promoting brownshirt tactics fits in well with your cowardly brothers.

It's called greed.
How much is enough?
Just a little more.
So why did they start resigning beginning in 2015 then?

You're right, but for a different reason.

You mean "Hoggin' Heroes". It's in the BBW section.
If Zootopia is the best they've got, I'll just settle for watching the porn.
