Making fun of Trump is really easy, how did you fuck this up so badly?

"But in one eyebrow-raising moment, Trump told the Times that health insurance costs about $1 per month when you're young. "Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance,..."[1]

It's pretty clear that he thinks (to the extent he actually thinks about anything) that insurance does cost 20-somethings only $12 per year. Not that he thinks that's what they should pay. That that's what they're paying today.
Sending you back to seventh grade for a redo on reading comprehension.
It just happens to be okay if you're not a registered S-corporation.
Really? Do you happen to know what part of the law limits the rules in that way?
(Serious question: I was assuming that they haven't been zorched because antitrust prosecutions are rare and usually directed at big players, not that the action was legal, or at least not having a defined penalty, for the little guys.)
You've hit the nail on the head. The FTC doesn't have the resources to go after all the Uber drivers. Sitting ducks like AT&T and IBM are more their speed.
There is no such thing as 12am or 12pm. ante meridiem or post meridiem – before the meridiem, i.e. noon, or after it. 12 o'clock is either 12 noon, or 12 midnight. I put idjits that write 12am right up there with the ones that can't figure out your, you're, there, their, and they're.
having grown up in a country that's been metric for over 200 years.
A big part of "comfort" for me could be accomplished by shorter flights. The 10+ hour legs I take now, or 20+ hour on two legs with a six hour layover can be pretty brutal. Fortunately I usually manage to sleep through most of the flying. It's when I can't sleep that it's a bitch.
I'm pretty sure I don't want busy restaurant background level noise going on continuously. That would suck. I don't even want quiet restaurant background noise going on continuously.
And I'm an American, but isn't it really time we started using metric for all things tech? Thirty miles is about 50km. It's just not that hard.
Democrats allowed these mergers they are decrying. Obama allowed not just one but two of the biggest mergers in media history and left office with a third one pretty much approved.
Somehow Democrats and Obama did this while Republicans controlled both houses of Congress.[1]
Republicans controlled the House for the last six of Obama's eight years in office, and the Senate for the last two.
Perhaps if the Republicans hadn't wasted so much time trying to repeal the ACA they might have had time to do something else.
I dunno, I haven't seen it to know for sure, but I'm guessing Vienna sausage is probably exaggerating by at least a factor of 2. I'm guessing more like cocktail weenie.
IIRC from the BLAW 20x or 30x classes I took a long time ago, for a contract to be binding the two parties have to be equals.
Someone that needs a job is – generally speaking – not ever going to be the equal of a potential employer that's dangling a contract saying "sign it or no job." Such a contract should be unenforceable AIUI. And you always have the option to strike out that clause as you're negotiating. (Whether the potential employer accepts it is something else.)
Now, whether a court is going to agree that such a contract is unenforceable is a different question.
As for me, when I resign from my jobs I don't tell my soon to be ex-exployer where I'm going. When they ask, I tell them I haven't decided and I'm taking some time off before I decide what I'm doing. Well, Saturday and Sunday are time off. It's really none of their business where I'm going next.
So between a) (that clause of) the contract being generally unenforceable, b) it being none of their business, and c) I'm perfectly capable of not using any of previous employer's IP in my new job, I personally feel like I'm in pretty safe territory. It has served me well for the 30+ years I've been working as a software developer.
And BTW, IANAL. Ask your own lawyer for advice in your particular situation.
US population of 18+ is ~230M in 2010 (US. Census Bureau). 49% of that is ~112M.
Class action lawsuit on behalf of the ~37M "users" whose details were exposed. Do we know how many of those 37M were dupes, fake, outside the US, or otherwise invalid? Is 50% a reasonable SWAG? If 19M were legit we're basically looking at about 1 in 6 men in the adult population had an AM account.
That number seems high to me, but what do I know. (My wife keeps telling me "Jon Snow, you know nothing.")
And knowing, as I do, what Indian carriers (are allowed to) charge, it's not hard to see why.
Four years ago I loaded my India phone with R500 (about $8) and only had to reload it for the first time earlier this year. Actually, I probably could have gone for another year on the remaining balance I had – about R70 – when I reloaded it.
I don't know about iPhone prices, but in my experience other Apple products in the Imagine stores are within one or two percent of the prices at the Apple stores here in the US.
Now if you want a Kitchenaid mixer, that'll run you nearly double what it costs here in the US.
VC and startups aren't the stock market. The stock market comes later, usually after the company is making a profit, or at least has sales; by which time it isn't a startup any more.
Investing in a startup is a gamble. Don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose. If you want to know the odds before you place your bet, go to Vegas.
This is Econ 101 or Finance 101 stuff. Risk/Reward ratio. High risk = High return (i.e. interest rate). A low risk investment like a CD or a Money Market mutual fund returns 1 or 2%. A home mortgage or a car loan can be 4% or 5%, or more. Credit cards charge 12%, 16%, 24%, etc. If a bank were to loan money to a startup, the interest rate might be 1000% or more, but banks don't/won't lend to a startup.
So who lends to startups? People who can afford to lose millions. But when they win, they expect to be paid commensurately with the risk they incurred.
Rick Perry says if we put the coal out there, the demand for it will follow.
(What do you want from a guy who got his degree in Animal Science?)
Never mind that Natural Gas is cheaper. I have a choice when I buy my electricity. Up to now I've been buying from a utility that produces more from renewables – just because it's more expensive, not because it comes from renewables. Now that coal is the more expensive option I'll switch to that. It costs more, it's got to be better, right?
... wide drills that dig wells more than 1,000 feet underground.
Since when? I've read about ground loops buried horizontally about two meters below the surface that are very effective. Temp year round – even in cold climates – is a constant 10C (50F).
Your silly suggestion isn't going to get me to Europe. Japan, India, or South Africa; all places I've been in the last ten years. Or even Chicago – in February – in a Cessna 172.
And how many years does it take to get IFR rated, on average?
So no, a pilots license is not really an option for most people.
I had a bunch of Keytronic Flexpro ergo keyboards that had the XT five pin DIN connector. I used a DIN->PS/2 converter for years with good success. Several times I tried adding a PS/2->USB converter but it never worked for me.
The Keytronic was decent. I needed it for my RSI. I believe Keytronic were the OEM for Sun's keyboards back in the day, which were decent. My last Flexpro died a few years ago. Now I'm waiting for bloody https://ultimatehackingkeyboar... to deliver the keyboards I ordered from them. They're at least a year past due.:-/
Slashdot Mirror
For everyone like this guy that's "earned it", there's another in that same situation who was wrongfully convicted, and is now being doubly punished.
I'd like to think that the number of wrongfully convicted people in prison is very small.
If half our prison population were wrongfully convicted, then there's something seriously wrong.
And before you reply that it's true, I hope you've got a citation for it to go along with it. And not a citation from Breitbart.

Fresno
But I can totally see how you'd confuse Long Beach for Fresno
Yes, Aegypti have been found in Long Beach, but that's not where Google is releasing Mosquitos. Yet.
There's usually more than one plane flying overhead within a 50km radius. I don't need to follow one plane to be bothered by its sonic booms.

And nothing ever changes
Cryptocurrency speculation reminds me of the pyramid "parties" in Los Angeles back in 1980.
At least in a pyramid party if you were standing in line to get in and nobody else was getting in line behind you you could bail.
If you were smart.
There were a lot of not smart people.
