That automation is already done on the web, and I for one won't put up with a non human on the phone. I mash zero until I get a human, I can't imagine I'm the only one.
The problem with cameras in court are specifically because for a jury trial, the jurors and witnesses can't feel intimidated. While a crime of passion murder trial is probably not concerned with intimidation, you can bet your ass that a gang related murder is going to be. Your right to video ends where the public's right to a fair trial begins.
As you state fairly well here, the key is to call your congress/senators and request that the write a federal law that protects your right to record audio, video or both on anyone at any time in any venue where there is no expectation of privacy (everywhere except public restrooms/changing rooms/inside a person's house/car/RV/tent/etc. and maybe on their property if you are not physically present; no telephoto/drone recording etc.) As part of the law, make it a $500 fine and 5 days in jail to prevent someone from filming police, and a felony with 1 year in jail for assault or arrest in the commission of preventing someone from filming. Problem solved. Every cop and state trooper would have a briefing tomorrow telling them about the new law. This is why we have a legislature, to solve problems like this...
Actually, violating constitutional rights opens officers and their departments up to big lawsuits. Since the people in question were not seriously injured, etc they would not be prosecuted for a criminal act.
Except that he has been busily taking apart regulations and rules that stifle business that Obama put in place, and further, companies have been sitting on a lot of capital and not hiring as much as they could because of the uncertainty of Obamacare, as well as what new business crushing executive order Obama might pull out of his ass with his pen and his phone. Trump has made it clear that he will eliminate Obamacare and wants to replace it with a market solution that provides economically feasible insurance. That is a huge unknown that has been eliminated in terms of hiring FT employees.
So yes, GDP hasn't changed dramatically, but employers are no longer looking down the barrel of the Obama regulation shotgun, they see Trump taking apart the EPA bullshit (the EPA was out of control under Obama, and no, we will still have clean air and clean water under Trump, we just won't regulate CO2 a.k.a. plant food) so they feel more comfortable hiring and expanding their business knowing Trump won't rape them down the line like Obama did time after time.
The labor participation force rate is a good number, but you have to subtract out the baby boomers who are currently retiring in record numbers. Once you factor them out, what you are left with is most likely the real unemployment numbers.
1. The military is not a handout job. Ask anyone who has enlisted, it is a ton of work. Welfare (ignoring the law requiring welfare to work), medicaid, food stamps, and SSD for back pain are handouts (and I suspect at some point these people will be shifted off the rolls which are currently unsustainable). There is zero reason why you can't do a desk job or phone support with a back injury. There is zero reason why you can't flip burgers for $9/h while you are receiving welfare (or go to a trade school/ JC to learn a valuable skill).
2. Those people left the job pool under the Obama administration's joke of a recovery, and some of them are starting to re-enter the work force (one of the reasons that the unemployment number went up slightly even though we added even more jobs than expected.).
Casual observers have a negative view of trump because 80% of the media reporting on Trump is negative, http://www.foxnews.com/politic... but give it a couple of years. When REAL unemployment drops to 6%, GDP is growing at a record rate, and we haven't had any more terrorist attacks at home while foreign threats like ISIS, Iran and N Korea are put in their place, opinions will change.
No, we need stories like this to remind everyone that in life there are winners and losers. For sure some win through luck and good timing, and some lose through entirely external forces, but most of the time, companies (and people) win by making good choices, exercising restraint at the appropriate time, hard work, and learning from failures. Jawbone had terrible customer support, released products that were clearly not ready and that will kill a company about as fast as possible, especially when there is competition in the market space.
Actually, Red pioneered the affordable pro 3D camera space. These cameras are not hobbiest, they are professional grade, and have been used to shoot many of the blockbuster movies you have watched over the last few years (like the Hobbit trilogy). Their cameras were about 20% the price of the competition when they were introduced.
Google spun up Alphabet specifically so they could do shitty corporate raider things like this without Joe sixpack knowing it was Google (violating their pledge to "do no evil"). They basically did the exact thing that Uber did to them. They would also do it to you if you had something they wanted, the difference is apparently Space Data has enough capital to sue them and win on the merits. I hope they get big damages and a public apology from Google on the Google home search page for a month. "We're sorry for being shitty thieves and stealing Space Data's IP." Wouldn't that be a nice punishment for being shitty thieves.
Your problem is that not only do you not understand what you are talking about, you don't even have the humility to acknowledge that someone besides yourself might be right. How about you assume nothing and refute my assertions with facts proven in science (and no, theories pulled out of some random PhD's ass is not interchangeable with hard science) instead of assuming (incorrectly) that you know more than others.
If you were actually familiar with testing, you would know that there are all manner of methods for accelerating natural phenomena (temperature, agitation, chemical preparation with precursors or the most favorable composition, simulating hundreds of lightning strikes per minute, etc). If you had actually read up on the subject, you would know that myriad of different methods have been tried to accelerate the "mineral soup to life" chemical evolution concept, and all have failed comically.
The reality is that even the most basic form of life (the bacteria, viruses being alive is questionable) is more complicated (in terms of individual moving parts) than the most complicated machine man has built (the microprocessor or space shuttle, take your pick). Bacteria are not simple and have their own DNA, organelles, proteins, etc. They are microscopic biological machines that do the same things that we do: they replicate, work together, adapt, etc all on their own http://scienceblogs.com/oscill... The argument that a bacteria, the simplest form of life that we know of, formed randomly by chance is pure fiction. Back in my day (and still, apparently: http://www.dictionary.com/brow... ), abiogenesis was known as chemical evolution (minerals to more and more complex chemicals, proteins, DNA etc until it became alive). The problem is it is pure fiction.
Nice ad homonym there. Really elevates the conversation and demonstrates why the alt-left are rapidly falling apart, rioting, and clubbing people with bike locks.
The problem with your argument is that Canada is trying to force Google to do something GLOBALLY (RTFA). If it were just about what Google does in Canada, I think that makes sense because Canada should be able to control what goes on inside it's borders. The problem arises when Canada starts trying to control what a US based company does globally (including inside the US). At that point, the US needs to flex some muscles and put Canada in its place.
My assertion is that it never does, backed up by the fact that is has never been observed. Since it has never been observed, in order to have any semblance of basis in fact, the responsibility is on the shoulders of those who espouse Evolution to demonstrate that it can happen.
Beyond that, however, even with all of the techniques at our disposal for accelerated experimentation (causing multiple mutations per second/per generation/etc that would normally take hundreds of years per mutation) we have never seen this happen in nature or in the lab.
So no, I won't be waiting thousands of years, because as far as I am concerned it is a fairy tale. It is certainly not science; hopefully you now realize this.
You are citing a poorly concealed attempt to conflate reality by state run school supporters (NEA/etc.)
That home schooled kids do not match a random cross section of the general population, but rather made up of white Christians from intact, well educated families does not invalidate the reality that they do better in academics than their state run school counterparts. Parental engagement and discipline in the learning environment are both key factors to learning. It should be no surprise that parental involvement in home schooling is much higher....
The fact remains valid that they do better by far than the average public school student.
Maybe if state run school teachers cared as much as white, well educated, Christian parents and were able to discipline the kids like they need, state run schools would be as good as home schooling (or at least as good as they were in the 50s). Maybe if more minorities cared about education and their kids futures more than watching the Jersey Shore, gang banging or getting their next fix of drugs, there would be more home schooled minorities...
Bottom line, the demographics differences (which I noted in my previous post, BTW) still don't invalidate the reality that home schooled kids do better academically. Sorry, nice try though.
Federal elections are the vernacular term for elections choosing the President, senators or congressmen, as opposed to state elections which involve electing state officials, or local elections which involve city/county officials. This is the vernacular and common usage of these terms, though they do not appear explicitly in the constitution. As you clearly cite, congress CAN pass laws regarding federal elections that supersede state laws as stated in Article 1, Section 4...
Here is another free civics lesson for you: the Executive branch is charged with enforcing the constitution and laws that congress passes. There are already a number of these, so it IS the responsibility of the Executive branch to be involved in investigating election fraud. (For example, the FBI is a part of the executive branch, so is the DOJ and the Attorney General). You might want to become a bit more knowledgeable on the topic before you post.
Block all blue states from participating in federal elections until they can prove, either by providing data to the federal government or through an internal audit run by an independent entity, that they don't have dead people, illegal aliens or other fraud on their voter rolls. http://www.npr.org/2012/02/14/...
Also, we need a federal voter ID law for all federal elections. The ID can be free, but you have to spend the time up front to get it at least 2 weeks before the election. If you can't be bothered, you clearly don't value your voting rights. We have made voting rights universal, to the detriment of the country, but there used to be all kinds of restrictions on voting rights, having the very minimal requirement of a photo voter ID is common sense if you want to prevent voter fraud, and a big problem if you are perpetrating it.
The Democrats hate voter ID laws for the simple fact that they abuse the ignorant (busing people from homeless shelters), the elderly (busing people from nursing homes who are mentally incapable of voting), the incarcerated, the dead, and some other just blatant fraud. Investigation into the veracity of the voter rolls would reveal some of this fraud and spur motivation for a national a voter ID law (probably in concert with a national registry that prevents voting in multiple states and culls dead people from the rolls periodically) and that would dramatically increase the difficulty of this fraud and abuse of our election system.
Vague, veiled, or non-specific threats are not a crime (which is why Kathy Griffin was not arrested by the secret service). By the numbers blackmail actually is a crime. Direct incitement of immediate violence can be a crime.
As a parent of young children who has taught upper division college courses in Thermodynamics and Statistics for 4 years, taught junior high students intro to science summer courses 3 years, and has 5 family members who are teachers or retired teachers, there are a few key things to teaching well, only some of which can be taught:
Can be taught: a deep knowledge of the subject matter (I learned the college content far better when I taught it than when I aced the courses as a student) Can't be taught: a passion to teach Can't be taught: a passion for the subject mater
Teaching young children has become over-complicated. The old approach of learning by doing was always the best, but it doesn't lend it'self to PhDs in grade school education...
Parental involvement in a child's education is definitely key, but that does not disprove the fact that home schooled kids do better on average that state run school kids.
They are from older (in the last 20 years though) high school and college biology textbooks. There are dozens of different books that all say virtually the same thing. I haven't checked out a HS biology textbook in the last 8 plus years though, so they might have fiddled with their story a bit. Still, it is 100% fantasy ad 0% science if we can't replicate it in the lab.
If we can build a supercollider to smash subatomic particles out of atoms, that happens in nature never, I am not sure your assertion holds true. We do all kinds of things that never happen in nature. We build cars and smart phones and computers and none of those ever happen in nature, ever. We have hundreds if not thousands of PhD applicants trying to figure out how life comes from non life, and we are still left with no clue how to make it happen. If we can't figure it out, how is your assertion any less valid than taking the word of the being that did the deed and has revealed himself to millions of people over the course of human history?
Back when I was in HS, biogenesis was called chemical evolution while changing of kinds was called biological evolution. There is also cosmic evolution etc.
Biological evolution is also a fairy tale though. No real scientist will ever tell you we have observed it. We see variations within kinds based on the already existing gene pools and we see mutations that damage DNA and cause a loss of information, but no creation. Biological evolution as Darwin envisioned had no clue about DNA, RNA or proteins or the boundaries that DNA defines on each kind of organism. Real biological evolution turns a banana into a dog. No one has ever seen that, and no one ever will because it is a fairy tale for Atheists to inflate their ego, knowing that they believe in science while those dumb hick Christians believe in magic... Unfortunately they all learn the truth a second after they die, but then it is too late.
Equal protection in the crossroads of school and religion simply means that if you let one religion have a group (Bible club for example), you need to allow other students to have a similar religious club (Kran club/Talmud club/etc.)
It does not mean that we must try to hide the fact that the vast majority of America, American leaders and soldiers have all been Christians, or that Christianity is the religion of the vast majority of our founders, or that our laws are based on the 10 commandments, or that America ascribes the rights of our citizens as inherent rights from the Judeo-Christian God, not from the state. These are all positions pushed by the ACLU (atheist communist lawyers union, if you were wondering), but they are dead wrong.
That is a lie fed to you by the Evolutionists who failed physics. The second law of thermodynamics applies to any system at any level when intelligence or life is not involved. Those are the only two factors that can locally work against the 2nd law by selectively creating additional entropy elsewhere, and that spark of life is slowly winding down as species go extinct and mutations (entropy in DNA) accumulate, causing infertility and more extinction. Try to volunteer any professor who says mutations are good to go for some good old fashioned gamma ray exposure and see if he/she will go for it...
Well, lets see. We know that there was nothing and then the universe explosively came into existence and expanded out rapidly. Since logic dictates that explosions do not happen without a cause, there must have been a cause before the existence of matter and time. We have a few candidates world views claiming that they can explain the universe and it's origin. The Judeo-Christian God claims to be an extra-dimensional being of omnipresence and omnipotence who exists outside of time and He claims to have created the universe by willing/speaking it into existence. Further, one of the first things he created was light (that's important, or we wouldn't be able to see stars that are millions of light years away, among other things). He created the sun and moon and all the animals and plants and humans in just 6 24hour days. This too is important because if he took millions of years, plants and animals that rely on one another would have become extinct, but a few days is no sweat. The Bible further claims that man turned away from God and that he wiped out all of humanity on the planet except for one family with a global flood. And lo and behold there are something like 110 plus known global flood legends from 100 plus different cultures, 60 plus of which describe a single family surviving. We also have all of the fossils covering the planet, buried in sedimentary rock fossilized under water (including giant mats of fossils that rotted and sunk after entangling on the surface). The entire surface of the earth has fossils and sedimentary rock, even the top of Mt. Everest has sea shell fossils and sedimentary rock. There are literally mountains of evidence that the entire planet was flooded and that virtually all land based life was destroyed.
There were millions of Israelite and Egyptian witnesses to God parting the Red Sea, millions of Israelite witnesses to God feeding them for years with mana on the ground every morning, millions of witnesses to God delivering the 10 commandments, millions of witnesses to the collapse of Jericho, I could go on.
In the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be God and also salvation for man to be reunited with God. He performed many miracles witnessed by tens of thousands of people. Feeding 5000 men, not including women and children with 2 loaves and 3 fish until everyone was full. He healed lame people, blind people, raised multiple dead people back to life and the list goes on, all in front of crowds of people, many who had known those healed well beforehand. After he was crucified, speared through the heart and verified dead by Roman soldiers (who were good at making people dead) he came back to life and was seen by thousands of people. After his ascension, he empowered his followers who did the same miracles.
We are talking about tens if not hundreds of thousands of witnesses who saw the miracles of Jesus and millions of witnesses to God's miracles in the Old Testament backing up God's claim of creator.
OTOH, we have:
Budhisim: we may or may not really be here, reality is based on perception (demonstrably false)
Taoism: One origin is a cosmic egg that hatched a being that subsequently died and became the earth, with its eyes becoming the sun and moon. Alternatively the creator goddess Nüwa cut the legs off the giant sea turtle Ao and used them to prop up the sky after Gong Gong damaged Mount Buzhou, which had previously supported the heavens (demonstrably false with modern science)
Hinduism: The world is carried by 4 elephants riding a giant turtle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (demonstrably false with modern science)
Evolution: Nothing exploded and created the universe, rain fell on rocks for millions of years and the rocks came alive (spontaneous generation, proven false) and a banana turned into a dog. (When you boil it down, this is what Evolutionists believe, when you take out all of the star trek technobabble and pie in the sky baseless theorization).
No thanks, I will take the one supported by real science and millions of witnesses. Not sure how you justify your belief in Evolution though...

The labor participation force rate is a good number, but you have to subtract out the baby boomers who are currently retiring in record numbers. Once you factor them out, what you are left with is most likely the real unemployment numbers.

Try to volunteer any professor who says mutations are good to go for some good old fashioned gamma ray exposure and see if he/she will go for it...
Well, lets see. We know that there was nothing and then the universe explosively came into existence and expanded out rapidly. Since logic dictates that explosions do not happen without a cause, there must have been a cause before the existence of matter and time. We have a few candidates world views claiming that they can explain the universe and it's origin. The Judeo-Christian God claims to be an extra-dimensional being of omnipresence and omnipotence who exists outside of time and He claims to have created the universe by willing/speaking it into existence. Further, one of the first things he created was light (that's important, or we wouldn't be able to see stars that are millions of light years away, among other things). He created the sun and moon and all the animals and plants and humans in just 6 24hour days. This too is important because if he took millions of years, plants and animals that rely on one another would have become extinct, but a few days is no sweat. The Bible further claims that man turned away from God and that he wiped out all of humanity on the planet except for one family with a global flood. And lo and behold there are something like 110 plus known global flood legends from 100 plus different cultures, 60 plus of which describe a single family surviving. We also have all of the fossils covering the planet, buried in sedimentary rock fossilized under water (including giant mats of fossils that rotted and sunk after entangling on the surface). The entire surface of the earth has fossils and sedimentary rock, even the top of Mt. Everest has sea shell fossils and sedimentary rock. There are literally mountains of evidence that the entire planet was flooded and that virtually all land based life was destroyed.
There were millions of Israelite and Egyptian witnesses to God parting the Red Sea, millions of Israelite witnesses to God feeding them for years with mana on the ground every morning, millions of witnesses to God delivering the 10 commandments, millions of witnesses to the collapse of Jericho, I could go on.
In the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be God and also salvation for man to be reunited with God. He performed many miracles witnessed by tens of thousands of people. Feeding 5000 men, not including women and children with 2 loaves and 3 fish until everyone was full. He healed lame people, blind people, raised multiple dead people back to life and the list goes on, all in front of crowds of people, many who had known those healed well beforehand. After he was crucified, speared through the heart and verified dead by Roman soldiers (who were good at making people dead) he came back to life and was seen by thousands of people. After his ascension, he empowered his followers who did the same miracles.
We are talking about tens if not hundreds of thousands of witnesses who saw the miracles of Jesus and millions of witnesses to God's miracles in the Old Testament backing up God's claim of creator.
OTOH, we have:
Budhisim: we may or may not really be here, reality is based on perception (demonstrably false)
Taoism: One origin is a cosmic egg that hatched a being that subsequently died and became the earth, with its eyes becoming the sun and moon. Alternatively the creator goddess Nüwa cut the legs off the giant sea turtle Ao and used them to prop up the sky after Gong Gong damaged Mount Buzhou, which had previously supported the heavens (demonstrably false with modern science)
Hinduism: The world is carried by 4 elephants riding a giant turtle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... (demonstrably false with modern science)
Evolution: Nothing exploded and created the universe, rain fell on rocks for millions of years and the rocks came alive (spontaneous generation, proven false) and a banana turned into a dog. (When you boil it down, this is what Evolutionists believe, when you take out all of the star trek technobabble and pie in the sky baseless theorization).
No thanks, I will take the one supported by real science and millions of witnesses. Not sure how you justify your belief in Evolution though...
