  1. Then they're just too far in the toll road camp. on Getting Rid of Carpool Lanes Could Double Travel Times (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Remove the shackles on the roads, add more lanes, and end the complaints.

    No need to make the roads a place for the well-heeled.

  2. Which reflects CalTrans' lack of sanity. on Getting Rid of Carpool Lanes Could Double Travel Times (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Unless you're well-heeled, they want you to suffer.

  3. Or they'd have sanity and kill the idea. on Getting Rid of Carpool Lanes Could Double Travel Times (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Toll lanes have no place in a city, especially ones with mixed income.

  4. Good to see another place reject chaika lanes. on Getting Rid of Carpool Lanes Could Double Travel Times (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the study's author is a bit too chummy with HOT/HOV lanes.

  5. You are a rare exception on Canada's Play For Immigrant Tech Talent (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Your ability to refuse work is a luxury not enjoyed by many.

    Realistically speaking, people do have the qualifications (or are trainably close) yet they're passed up for being a fully protected citizen.

    Short of litigatively (or worse, literally through physical/chemical means) wiping the arrogant smirk off of businesses, I'm not sure how things would change.

    Guest worker programs need to DIAF and their proponents brought to task.

  6. Welcome to Hongkouver on Canada's Play For Immigrant Tech Talent (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not Vancouver, but a city of rotting houses with absentee owners.

  7. So they want to harm Canadians on Canada's Play For Immigrant Tech Talent (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Canadians now get to experience guest worker fraud, lower wages, and less citizen opportunity.

    Pour les Québécois:
    Les Canadiens ont maintenant l'expérience de la fraude des travailleurs invités, des salaires plus bas et moins d'opportunité pour les citoyens.

  8. It's just revenue generation, not any good purpose.

    If it really was about that, they'd limit speed.

  9. Trouble is that you don't own your VPS. on Cox Expands Home Internet Data Caps, While CenturyLink Abandons Them (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    One can stop payment on a physical server's network connection and retain it if so one chooses. One cannot do the same for a VPS, even if one wished.

    Never mind that there are privacy issues with not owning your own hardware.

  10. Hopefully CenturyLink serves some/more Cox markets on Cox Expands Home Internet Data Caps, While CenturyLink Abandons Them (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Would be nice for CenturyLink to show Cox the error of their ways by picking up Cox customers.

  11. The new income racket: Harassment complaints. on Tesla Factory Reportedly Described As a 'Predator Zone' By Female Employees (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    How much of this actually is a problem and how much of it is just gold-digging (aka the current-day version of the McDonald's scalding coffee)?

  12. They can start with the entirety their income+jobs on Mark Zuckerberg Doubles Down On Universal Basic Income, Calls It a 'Bipartisan Issue' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If Silicon Valley really wants to put the fears at bay, they can always use their own income to fund UBI, versus mandating it. That is, give all theirs to fund something that concerns them so much.

  13. If it wasn't obvious that CNN was deep with the status quo, it should be clear to everyone - when agreeing with CNN puts you in a very small minority.

  14. Regular US Citizens. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    He represents the US, especially those marginalized by leftist/globalist policies.

  15. None. I don't use permatemps. on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Ride-Sharing App? · · Score: 1

    That, and I have an environmentally hostile V6-powered car.

  16. US Citizens. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The United States is more than just the 3 million illegals in California and all the leftists on the coastlines.

    It is also the citizens that have not seen opportunities return to them - as a result of the prior regime that ended January 20th of this year.

  17. Environmental officials make great fuel. on Norway To Ban the Use of Oil For Heating Buildings By 2020 (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    Vidar Helgesenlaid, the nation’s Environment Minister, laid out the plans in a statement, saying: “Those using fossil oil for heating must find other options by 2020.”

    Then let's start by using the Environmental Minister, his staff, and supporters as fuel. As cold as Norway gets, it'd not be off the table.

  18. So they want people to shiver? on Norway To Ban the Use of Oil For Heating Buildings By 2020 (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    I wonder how many exceptions will be made for policymakers, while denying an effective heat source to regular people.

  19. Nice civility you have there. on Study Claims Discarded Solar Panels Create More Toxic Waste Than Nuclear Plants (nationalreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Instead of trying to attack the author, what do you have to say against the message?

  20. Explain what is untrue. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    What has been said of Stanford has been proven through the toxicity of the leftist student population.

  21. That would be regular ol' US citizens. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 0

    He represents the US, especially those marginalized by leftist policies.

    There's more to the US than what the modbombing left will acknowledge.

  22. Good riddance. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 0

    They weren't science advisors, they were the clerisy for the environmentalists.

  23. Only if the machines aren't commanded to do an "Et Tu, Brute" moment.

  24. It's already here. on Central Bankers Warned Of Possible Economic 'Robocalypse' (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Between offshoring abuse, permatemping, and AI, the problem isn't tomorrow. It's already here.

  25. Stanford is a joke. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're a diversity candidate, you get the benefit of the doubt - even if you experience the inconvenience of the courts.

    If you're a conservative or undesirable, you're considered Fair Game for anything.
