We might finally find a purpose for the existence of Kim Kardashian. Trump should make her the new EPA chief.
Sure she won't be great at it, but she'll be less bad than any other Trump pick.
Agreed. If I saw somebody committing an assault or breaking into a building I'd snap something on my camera and call the police. It would feel ludicrous to let the incident go unreported because I'd be snitching on somebody and promoting a police state.
The concern is that assaulting someone actually has a victim. Most road rules punish you for merely being in the same loose statistical group as someone else who did something wrong years ago. And the crazy part is that the penalties for this are now actually getting worse than the actual offending.
eg you can run someone over and kill them and if it's an accident you get off with a suspended sentence while others who merely speed (and don't crash) receive heavy fines and loss of license which can result in loss of job, insurance and other life affecting punishments.
I'd feel better about reporting it if the results was better drivers, rather than just more heavy fines.
How will you feel when someone uploads a carefully edited clip that makes it look like you are a bad driver, when in fact you were avoiding an accident with someone else?
As ever, the problem with vigilante justice is the lack of due process and fairness.
I got three tickets in the last three months for exactly these types of things. I ride a bike so a quick squirt of the throttle on busy roads can get you into clean air and relative safety quite easily. But they'll never teach you that in the rule book.
Video editing and compositing is fantastic these days. All one needs is a database of make/model/year/color vehicles with videos of egregious driving and some Deep Fakes processing. Let's see how well the Sox do in the Series when their pitcher is pinched on a DUI.
I'm not in the UK, but I'm all for ratting out drivers who have no concern for my or my family's safety..
So how do you determine what is actually a safety risk? Based on what we already know of 100 years of road laws, wouldn't be a more accurate assumption that these will be used for revenue raising measures that only pay lip service to safety instead? OMG speeding!!! Think of the Children???
This actually needs its own article. Every news site now includes an autoplay video in the article which 99% of the time isn't even a video, it's just a static picture that pans across with text over it. What is the fucking point of this?!?
Seriously, fuck video. If I want video I go to Youtube or Netflix. Save web pages for text and images only.
And if they can cold-call prospects they can be in there before all the others, Einstein.
So let's see, spend time on roles I actually have available now and make money now, or spend time/effort on imaginary jobs that may or may not ever eventuate and when they do, all the candidates I was grooming are no longer available because that was last month and have no money. Only Einstein could ever figure this conundrum out...
I know dozens of people stuck at dead end jobs because they can't go 90-180 days w/o health care.
Pro-tip: find the next job before quitting your current one.
But wouldn't it better it you didn't have to? We're talking higher quality of life here, and one of those scenarios definitely sounds more preferable to the other.
I live in Canada and I call bullshit on your assertion. Universal healthcare is great, but not free. We pay close to 50% income taxes.
I don't live in Canada and I call bullshit on your assertion This tells me that a top 10% income is about $80k, and a top 1% income is about $190k This tells me that income tax on $80k is around 25-30% depending on state, and on $190k it's 34-40%.
If you're paying close to 50% income tax, you already have a good salary so shouldn't complain too much.

I'm not sure about Sony, but media production tends to own some high bandwidth shit. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony have peering straight into Google at Gb speeds. So this could've been all done in a minute or two.
They did mention the "New Republic" in Ep7, which I assumed was what the Rebellion made when the Empire fell. Presumably, some of the Imperial Navy splintered off and refused to join the New Republic, and at least one of those splinters became the First Order and held some amount of formerly Imperial space. Starkiller base's first target was the New Republic's capital, I thought.
So how do you build something like a Starkiller base without the incumbent authority being aware of it? The time and resources devoted to the task would take decades and would be impossible to hide. And it would seem odd that just after having two Deathstars destroyed due to design flaws, the bad guys would then just go build a yet another Deathstar with pretty much the same design?
The reactor has been under construction for nine years and became the first AP1000 in the world to achieve criticality on June 21, 2018.
Nine years! It took five years to build Hoover Dam, and that was in the early 1930's.
That's says more about Workplace Health and Safety rules of the 30's than any type of energy technology. To compare the Empire State Building was built in 13 months while One World Trade Centre took 9 years...
That's hilarious logic right there. You don't even understand that you're not comparing the same thing, do you?
What's hilarious is that you had the opportunity to correct the logic but chose not to for some reason.
As an independent reader, the other guy's logic makes more sense than yours....
You Americans keep saying this, yet nothing I read about the USA leads me to believe this is true.
Is this one of those things like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is actually the opposite of a Democracy?
There's plenty of incentive for recruiters, though.
Get the resume of someone who specialises in building interfaces between ERP systems and coffee machines using QT and perl and you get a list of companies that... do all that kind of shit.
You've now got a set of sales leads you can use to try and place other people on your books who DATKOS.
That sounds like a hard way to get a simple job done. I know a few recruiters and it's a lot simpler than that. When you get a role, you advertise for that role, then you screen the hundreds of retards that apply for a 3 shortlisted candidates to submit to the employer. That's it.
There's no convoluted James-Bond-villain type scheme in place to oppress job seekers. Recruitment is just sales. The more tin you move, the more commission you get.

Those plugs are designed to contain the transformer, and give it space to cool.
So put the transformer a few cms away from the plug so it doesn't get in the way
also to keep your derpness from plugging 12 things into a single outlet and burning your house down.
Not part of the requirement. It's just bad design.

We're plenty sea worthy. It's just all the spoils are going to the top 1%. I'd say it's high time for mutiny.
Sounds good, who's going first?
Yeah, but a rising tide does not help if the boats are not seaworthy.
Yes, it still does. 325 million boats of various shapes and sizes, a rising tide will lift more boats than lowering it.
A job is something you stay at.
Isn't that called a Hotel?

That's a stupid retort. The whole thing is premised on a shit governmental system.
You're premised on a governmental system, goober
Suppose you manage a large vehicle fleet, like UPS, FedEx or a large trucking company.
Then you probably already have this. Most fleets I know have GPS tracking, dash-cam and cab-cam already.
You Americans keep saying this, yet nothing I read about the USA leads me to believe this is true.
Is this one of those things like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is actually the opposite of a Democracy?
They're a saying. As long as it's indicted, they'll convict a ham sandwich of murder.
Fortunately I have more experience of how a courtroom works than just 'They're a saying'.
There is no doubt in my mind he was innocent....he was clearly guilty and I think everyone knows it
Courtrooms don't work like media headlines, even if that's all you know about the actual cases...
