The reason to require 3 nines when only 2 nines are needed is so that when someone misses the spec the vehicle still works. Consider two scenarios:
1) A car with 10,000 parts is assembled. The tolerances were exactly specified, so any tolerance miss creates a non-working car. All vendors meet tolerance 99.999% of the time. 10% of the cars coming off the line won't work. (So you will have to spend money ripping them back apart, more testing of the parts to find the 0.001% of the parts that are bad, etc. Tests with false positive rates lower than 0.001% are hard)
2) A car with 10,000 parts is assembled. The tolerances were over specified, so only 10% of tolerance misses create a non-working car. All vendors meet tolerance 99.999% of the time. 1% of the cars coming off the line won't work.
This appears to be an extension of the "Kanzen" technique originally used by the Japanese car manufacturers. It took them from essentially not competitive in the US to a dominant position in very few years.
The problem with the selective enforcement that you advocate is that it gives the police and politicians the ability to jail their enemies at will. Everyone breaks the law, no one is punished, unless you piss off the wrong person, or don't bow low enough.
It may not be in a study, since you are doing it for yourself, but you are still far better off when you can pay someone else to do it (and it is now counted in the study).
First, moving the bar. The previous research predicted sinking islands, this new research refutes that. The important point is that "Climate Change" hysteria is overblown, and that nature has automatic processes to lessen the effects of the change.
Second, how much "agriculture" was going on previously? Are you saying that previously, there was no salt at all, and their major export was grain?
I grew up on a tropical island. It has always rained salt during the storms. Many plants can't grow because of that, many plants don't care.
Um, no. The average modern liberal is far less accepting of other people's right to live the way they want than the average conservative.
Though I'll admit that this is probably just that wacko liberals tend to want to harm me personally, and wacko conservatives just want to harm my friends...
It is really not this easy. The problem is that everyone is different. I spent 20 years unable to walk, so I gained weight. Now I exercise five times a week, one hour each day. I can lift heavy weights, and more importantly can now walk! (My trainer has a doctorate degree, that's why I can walk now). But you know what? I gained 100 pounds. Muscle is heavier than fat. I wish I could lose the weight, but I'd rather be able to walk.
When most people are young, diet can easily control your weight. As you get older, weight control becomes more difficult because your body stops controlling things. By your statements, you are probably in your twenties. Try again when you are 45.
Personally, I think we should not condone "illegal immigration" because it sweep the issue under the rug, and enables abuse of people designated illegal immigrants.
We should let everyone in that is not a criminal, and change the laws to make that not be a problem. For example, you can't vote until you are cash flow positive. (Most immigrants would immediately be voters...)
Um, something is worth what someone will pay for it. If the last investors bought 10% of the stock for $100M, the value is $1B. It's not like people are making this stuff up.
What the article is really saying is that private investors in large private companies are willing to pay more than public shareholders. This is really just a legacy of Sarbanes Oxley.
So you don't think that releasing all this to CNN was political in nature? You honestly don't think this was an attempt to embarrass the Trump administration? Isn't the UK a foreign power?
I think we should just ignore all of this nonsense. It is illegal, sure. So is most spam.
No, the tragedy is that smart people that are not rich are denied access to startup company funding, and so are forced to remain poor.
Fraud laws are sufficient to go after the bad guys. We need to allow more people to invest, not less. We should be encouraging investment as a society.
If electric cars were a better deal than non-electric cars for UKers, you would not have to get the government's guys with guns to force them to buy electric vehicles at gunpoint...
Acupuncture works pretty well on me, anyway. It makes the muscle jump, and it slides back into place. Immediate pain relief, which mixed with exercises makes the pain permanently go away.
Is it better than a placebo? I don't know. But at the very least, it is a very good placebo. And placebos are extremely effective!
I don't get why modern medicine doesn't optimize placebos. The test for new medicines is absolutely stupid. Medicine does not have to beat a placebo. All medicines should work to maximize placebo effects!

But things have changed since then.

I'm not sure what happened to the first part, the figures are:
Homicide rate in North Chicago: <4 / 100,000
Homicide rate in South Chicago: >25 / 100,000
That is utterly false. There is indeed a murderer class in the US. It is just politically incorrect to officially notice it.
Homicide rate in North Chicago: 25 / 100,000
Now figure out what the difference between the north and south is. Control for income. The answer is clear as day.

Exactly - you cannot have both common carrier status and political censoring.
Trump
(Trump)
Hillary
(Worse than Trump)
Um, moron, GERMANY IS A FORMER SOVIET UNION STATE"! No "like" about it. (OK, just half, but still, what a moronic post!)
Obviously not organic!
As a pilot: my CFI told me it wasn't really turbulence until your head hit the ceiling with your seatbelt still on.
Then that kept happening to me! (I am a lot taller than him...)

That depends:
Is washing your clothes by hand "work"?
It may not be in a study, since you are doing it for yourself, but you are still far better off when you can pay someone else to do it (and it is now counted in the study).
How about licensed hair stylists?
They did mention a few specifically: make up artists, hair stylists, cabinet making, to name some of the top of my head.

make people more liberal
Um, no. The average modern liberal is far less accepting of other people's right to live the way they want than the average conservative.

You are the problem.

I can lift heavy weights, and more importantly can now walk! (My trainer has a doctorate degree, that's why I can walk now). But you know what? I gained 100 pounds. Muscle is heavier than fat.

Why does no one else see this?
Personally, I think we should not condone "illegal immigration" because it sweep the issue under the rug, and enables abuse of people designated illegal immigrants.

You make a good point, but:
If electric cars were a better deal than non-electric cars for UKers, you would not have to get the government's guys with guns to force them to buy electric vehicles at gunpoint...
Um, they replaced their unix/linux machines with MICROSOFT.
Yes, they messed up systemd.
I can verify that Chicago does not have one. We would string them up...
Um, Chicago is 200% Democrat, not Republican.
200% because all the dead people vote Democrat too.
Nope, its even worse:
They also want to pay below market rates.
