mindful that each flush & brush costs him about 43 cents to his privatized water provider
So, Joe reduces his water usage to save costs, or digs his own well, purifies the water, and sells "Standard Water" to his neighbours
he drops his 12 year old daughter off at the clothing factory she works at
Thankfully, there is no income tax deduction, so she receives all the value of her work.
After 2 years of working hard, she is the youngest employee to move up in to management, where she assists her fellow co-workers with receiving better pay by improving their skills
Require two hands on the steering wheel that will beep after 5 seconds (enough time to shift gears, change radio station, take a sip of coffee) and record each frequency on the car's black box.
(obviously, there would be overrides for one handed people)
My co-worker (in our in-house printshop) once told me, "I love the paperless society. I've never been busier".
Having been in the web industry for 15 years now, working for 3 different 4000+ employee companies, I've seen several attempts to "go digital".
In each project, I warn the C*O that success of the project does not rely on million-dollar document management software or high-speed scanners, but on creating original documents that are easy to read/understand online.
And I am ignored. And I watch the project fail.
Online reading (reality is: "online scanning") is a whole new world to the office. It's a huge-culture change that needs to happen.
We've all been taught to write the hamburger essay. That doesn't work online. Online requires getting to the point quickly, chunking information with headlines, short paragraphs.
-- If you don't create documents that are easy to consume online, then people will print them off to read them --
Another important success factor: a robust search engine and proper architecture. Again, more things that are ignored and not taught to make paperless a reality. The whole self-service "everyone can add their own document" feature is a horrible idea. Dedicate a resource to manage search and navigation of your document repositories.
Most of my co-workers already use Facebook at Work.
From a branding aspect, F@WK is a horrible title -- and not just for the clever acronym I just made up.
Upper Mgmt considers Facebook to be a time-waster for employees. They would have been better to market under a unique brand that isn't associated with that existing perception by not using Facebook in the name.
The whole project is a bit ironic... As Zuck's philosophy has always been that a person should have one account, and friends/family/co-workers should intermix.
“You have one identity,” he emphasized three times in a single interview with David Kirkpatrick in his book, “The Facebook Effect.” “The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly.” He adds: “Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity.”

... and then have people pay you lots of money to troubleshoot their issues.

"There are 3 managers that I will fire when I become Energy Secretary: Jane, Rick and... [pause] ...oops!"
Battery is hard-wired into engine. If you try to replace, you risk cracking your windshield.
I wonder if anyone will record/stream the meeting where they are getting fired.
I can't be the only purist that noticed that the photo in TFA isn't actual Lego brand?
It wouldn't be the first time they chose a group of people: Ebola fighters (2014), Protester (2011), You (2006)
This year, it could be "The Protectionist Voter" -- which covers both Brexit and election of Trump.
... unless Trump is named Man of the Year.

Maybe if they offered the judge a hot beverage?
...just in time for the next US Presidential Election cycle.
I thought the same thing about having a large gravel bed.
But then realized that the blast/wash from the jet engines would erode it a bit when each plane takes off.
Thank goodness it is way overpriced like all other Apple products so I can continue to enjoy my non-Apple laptop with escape and function keys.

Wikipedia chart for gun laws by country show that only North Korea has a full ban on guns.
China and Vietnam are next with near total bans.
A win for the pacific triad.
"Does no one else think cars + computers + network connectivity = bad?"
Nope. Tesla was able to patch all their cars quickly, without asking drivers to come in to get serviced.
That's a net gain of: thousands of kms saved + time saved + less cars on road = good
A worse equation is that Tesla is working to eliminate:
Cars + humans + driving + distraction( texting | eating | doing makeup ) = bad
Keep Calm and Carrier on
Rather than searching for electronics, dogs are actually trained to sniff for three odors:
If 1 and 2 are present, but not 3, then the dogs barks to alert the police that porn is present.
"I love this paperless society - I've never been busier"
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
... depressed people both perceive less color in the world and prefer dark, anemic scenes and images.
I just take really crappy pictures and my camera's flash is broken.
