I agree but also remember that the expungement now makes it way easier for them to do things like get a job. And having a job sure does help people move forward with their lives!
I'm glad this got modded up, but I don't think that's what the OP is claiming. Also I don't think the OP is quite accurate. But we should discuss on the merits.
In the US, we have a "plea bargain" system. Lets say I get caught go 85mph in a 15mph school zone. I'm guilty. But I can strike a bargain where, rather than doing a trial (which is time consuming and expensive and inconveniences a bunch of jurors), I instead plea guilty to going 25mph in a 15mph, pay my ticket and move on.
The catch is you can only "plea down" to a lesser offense included in the original offense. So I couldn't instead plea guilty to failing to maintain my sidewalk since they are unrelated (as defined by statue not by whether they are logically related).
But it gets tricky if I'm charged with *multiple* crimes. Lets say I get charged with possession of marijuana *and* illegal possession of a firearm. Maybe the evidence is weak on the firearm charge. But I'm definitely guilty of the marijuana charge. In that case, it may be possible to strike a deal where I plea guilty the marijuana possession and the firearms charge gets dismissed.
Is this situation one where I'm eligible to have the marijuana charge expunged based on the new California policy? I don't know! But it's the type of scenario the OP is trying to explore and which may make this complicated.
If you've ever read a nutrition study they have all kinds of creative ways to try to control for other factors. I don't know how good they are. But I'm always skeptical when I read them because it seems that any "results" from the study are just as likely to be a limitation of controlling for other factors.
With 32-bits you can address up to 4GB of RAM. However, operating systems like to provide features such as shared memory and memory-mapped I/O. For these to work seamlessly and provide the intended convenience for application developers, the OS has to make them *look* like regular memory access. Microsoft did something relatively easy with Windows and made the top half of the address space reserved for these purposes. When machines with more than 2GB started appearing, Windows added features to take advantage of the RAM. By the time more than 2GB was common, 64-bit processors were also common.
It might be in the study but it's in none of the news reports. Hard-boiled? In omelette with sausage and bacon? As a "breakfast sandwich" from McDonald's. This would seem to be a huge factor. Also is it actually the eggs or some common cause? I don't expect much from news media but for a/. story, I'd like to see some of this answered.
They don't let us blind people fly, but I do believe that the sequence is aviate, navigate, communicate. I don't think you are supposed to diagnose until you are in controlled flight. But that's problematic if you can't stick and rudder fly so you'll never get to diagnosis.
It hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet, but the market the stuff that goes in the recycling bin isn't large enough to consume the entire stream. So even if it were perfectly sorted, some would still end up in the landfill. I don't think it matters that some recyclable material ends up in your trash. If you did perfect sorting, they'd just have to divert 50% of the recycling loads to the landfill. The phrase is reduce, reuse, recycle for a reason. Recycling isn't really a solution. Reduce, reduce, reduce is really what's necessary but not appealing.
Well I'd love to see a 100% effective vaccine. I concede that MMR is very high. Obviously flu vaccine is very low (but who cares). Others are not at the 97% rate though. But I think we are in agreement on my original point that the only immediately available solution is regulatory.
Was this comment intended as a reply to my post because I don't follow the thread at all. Or if it just an AC that somebody is pasting in at random places.
I posted my SimCity experience earlier. But yes you can certainly build enough highway capacity in the game. And in (most) real life situations the easiest thing to do is to just build more roads! However there are also some pretty-good counter-examples. Look at Los Angeles where 65% of surface area is dedicated to cars and its not enough! You can't put in more roads there although I'm sure there are people advocating for it. Similar for New York City although I'm sure there is some demand in both locales for underground highways.
I played way too much SimCity and I'm scared that this post will have me playing it again. In SimCity4 (which I played the most), at least, an all-car transportation system actually worked fairly for transportation. The only situation where roads didn't work well was if you had low-wealth tenements because they were just too dense. But if you avoided those (don't zone anything medium-density until it's already medium-wealth) and if you had some mix of residential and commercial it worked really well. The inconvenience of the traffic density for the commuters was offset by the extra business for the commercial zones. The downside was that the pollution was awful. But you could make creative use of toll booths to fund parks. Its only when I tried to keep pollution down that my cities went bankrupt!
The best solution that we have right now is mandatory vaccinations. But a *better* solution would be more effective vaccinations. Right now, when somebody doesn't vaccinate, they expose three groups of people: Themselves, those who can't get vaccinated, and those who got the vaccines but wren't completely immunized. I have no sympathy for the first group, a fair amount of sympathy for the second, and a lot for the third. If we can find vaccines that are both more effective and can be given to more people, we'll probably get a better result. In the interim, we are seeing some progress toward exactly what you suggest. Although some states are also moving backward so it's a constant fight.
Maybe games *shouldn't* be loading their own kernel drivers but we certainly want open systems where games *can* load their own kernel drivers. One of the big themes that is generally agreed upon around here is that end users should be in charge of their own systems. I don't play Fortnite and certainly *won't* be installing these but why should Microsoft be the one to decide which kernel drives the users are allowed to put on their own hardware? There would be an outcry if Microsoft prevented the loading of kernel drives needed to run Linux in a VM!
I mentioned this in a previous post but this is likely a 7 day test drive and not a buy and return in the sense that the vehicle won't be titled to you until after the seven day period is up.
How did this get modded up? Loans on cars are simple interest loans. There is no penalty for early payment. You can take out a loan today and pay it of tomorrow. Not that it really matters if you are credit worthy. Most dealers will "spot deliver" meaning they give you the car without payment because the loans take time to process and they don't want you to change your mind. Sales tax is certainly refundable is you return the purchase. Some fees that you pay to the state for title and registration may not be. But Tesla could certainly offer to absorb those. But again they probably aren't doing that at all. They are probably going to give you the car for a seven-day "test drive" where it's still "their car" with their license plate an insurance. So there isn't even a purchase to cancel. If you are non credit worthy, they may ask you to place a deposit equal to the cost of the car but for the overwhelming majority of people who can buy a $35k vehicle, all they really want is for you to leave the dealership with the car by any means possible.
If there is residual poop on the food, you can't sell it and have to destroy it. Not so for residual glycophosphate which may remain on food. There have been a lot of attempts to show that glycophosphate is harmful to humans with very little sucess and absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence but my own concern with its use from a food safety perspective is exactly zero.
This would be true if you didn't still get to watch the game. The amount that puts you ahead is that you still get to watch two professional teams play a sport.
This must have been quite some time ago. They are much stricter about these things today. I'm actually quite surprised that they are suing a passenger. (S)he must not be a frequent flier. The response I would expect today is that the airline would confiscate all of your miles for fare rule violation.
You shouldn't need high temperature or pressure to burn these in a trash-to-smoke power plant. (I think the fancy term now is "co-generation" but I'm a bit behind on the latest buzz words). If you burn *just* plastic, you may need to be creative but if you mix it with other things that burn easily (such as paperboard), it should all just burn and generate heat. If not just add something that burns hotter to the mix. If you can *separate* the plastic, I suggested in a previous post just to mix it with your coal stream at existing coal-fired plants. They do this with wood pellets already.

It would be really *easy* to compress this to two characters "Pi" or just one if you are using something that can properly support unicode!

I don't quite understand this comment. Asiana in SF was a case where an automated system wasn't properly engaged.

How did you do this and not go bankrupt. In Simcity 3k, I think you had to pay operating expenses on all of that stuff.

I think we all wish that stupidity could be outlawed. But heck we can't even keep it modded down sometimes!

If you are going to do this at least book the final leg on a different airline.

Yes and if these are pure hydrocarbon plastics, why go through all of this. Couldn't we just mix them with coal and burn them in existing facilities?
