to make up the difference? That's something I hear from anti-gov't/anti-tax folks every time. e.g. that there's no point to government since they corps will just work around it. Or if in fact that New Zealand _can_ get revenue from taxes to run a country/civilization then maybe allowing these sorts of tax dodges (bought and paid for by Apple themselves) is detrimental to everyone but a lucky few 1%ers...
about the H1-Bs (and I know I'm being petty, but hey, I'm getting my ass kicked here financially). They're a captive audience for the renters. There's no way they're gonna buy a home while they're here on work visas. So they drive up my rent substantially. Maybe if I made enough to afford a down payment on a home but, well, with my wages depressed like this that ain't happening...
to back that up? Especially that a lot of the sex trafficking going on is people being brought in from third world countries?
What worries me about sex trafficking is those "consenting" adults. Kinda like how you used to be able to sell yourself into slavery in the form of indentured labor. But if you're at the point where you're selling yourself into slavery you're bargaining position is non-existent and you're probably not really consenting.
Now, if our government guaranteed every man/woman/child adequate food/shelter/health care/education/transportation/etc you might have a point. But with the way things are it's child's play to force people to do whatever you want...
we just elected a president who's doing everything he can to stack the courts with folks friendly to these kind of laws. That's not hyperbole, it was one of his campaign promises.
claims this small would tend to get approved because it's not worth the time/effort to do major investigation. Most of the real work woulda been done when they customer signed up looking into his history to determine how likely he'd be to file fraudulent claims. The video is just there so they can show it to the courts if he keeps filing claims and they actually investigate them.
Here's what happens when you raise farm worker wages to the living wage. A pound of apples goes from $1 to $1.06 (adding a little to get it up to $15/hr since it's an old article).
they should be paid at least enough to get them to the next season. This is why Donald Trump uses work visas for his seasonal workers. He doesn't pay enough for somebody to drop everything they're doing and work for him at Mar-a-Lago or whatever for 6 months. I'm always reminded of this.
IT boss wants to make a big splash and get more underlings so they offer to take on some useless and stupidly simple manual labor like data entry or calling a bunch of customers to say 'hi'. Just about everybody I know in IT has had at least 1 boneheaded manager do this. What I hate about this most is that it's always the kind of work bean counters are on the lookout for when they're trying to find something to outsource/automate/eliminate. What I need out of my management is to keep a steady stream of useful and valuable work hitting my desk to keep my employed. When they pull this crap they're doing the exact opposite of their purpose.
have exceptions for overtime pay? Overtime pay exceptions were supposed to be for high paying desk jobs like CEO where it wasn't worth anyone's time/effort to calculate it. Jesus, just repel it entirely already and stop pretending. Or better yet, recognize that any law exempting people from OT will be written from the ground up with abuse in mind and not pass them.
to drop bombs on people. One of the leftists sites (politico? I forget) made the point that Trump's cuts to foreign aid will result in food scarcity and destabilization of regions Isis and the like are looking to expand into. Americans will be damned if we'll pay for some lazy foreigner to sit around eating their food but they'll gladly pump 'em full of lead that costs 5x as much. That crap shows up in our health care system too. Anything but prevention.
and I don't really get how this concept is so damn hard for the ostensibly well educated population of/. to understand. Governments operate on completely different forms of credit and debt then people do.
Also, I don't make jack shit and over the course of my life $50k isn't all that much money. Especially when you consider things like roads, hospitals, the Internet and just about everything more important than a twinkie is paid for by the government in one way or another.
but to be fair I haven't priced out Ryzen boards. I remember that at least on newegg the 8350's price advantage largely evaporated because it really needs a nicer mobo and faster ram to be competitive with the equivalent i5.
Also, that i5 has been out longer and is better optimized, supported & understood. The $30 bucks might be worth it. Now, if it was $50, $75... $100. You'd be talking. That's a pretty big GPU upgrade and it's what I got years ago with my Athlon 64. But $30? That takes me from one 6gb gtx 1060 to a slightly faster GTX 1060...
routes around damage. Now, can we please elect some sane people to the government so we can fix the law (and while we're at it properly fund education in this country so that we can both have these things _and_ make them accessible to people with disabilities)?
I said this when the story first broke: crap like this is what happens when you elect a bunch of people who don't believe government can work. Stuff breaks and instead of fixing it they just point and say: "See! See!". If I did that I couldn't type this because I couldn't own a computer...
E.g. does a Ryzen get better game framerates while streaming? I'm guessing not, but I've only seen raw benchmarks in the articles I've read, not "We benchmarked this game while streaming it".
Right now Ryzen doesn't make a lot of sense unless you're a programmer or video editor (either hobby or pro). If you're just a gamer it's getting beat by cheaper Intel hardware and AMD motherboards (that aren't garbage) tend to cost more pushing the price higher (though that might not be true for Ryzen). Now, given that a lot of gamers like to stream I could see that being a thing.
we'll just skip the part where the wealth generated gets equitably and humanely distributed. Was at a doctor's office in a nice part of town today and overheard somebody pining for the recession when they didn't have to pay people so much money...
The crackpots have been chipping away at the fixes.
Those same crackpots are stronger than they've been since the 40s...
They've noticed all that education and they don't like it. They're working on eliminating it and replacing it with religion and authoritarianism...
Kids will teach a nerd because what we used to call a nerd is now a neckbeard and they still mercilessly bully the neckbeard.
And the last thing I want to do is let my kids decide. They're kids. They don't know shit from shinola.
If I see any silver lining it's that Columbine scared the bejeebus out of the jocks and gym teachers so they've put the breaks on institutionalize bullying (e.g. when the teachers join in the fun) and that Birth Control is getting cheaper and more effective. The only way to keep people from being abused is to have so few of them you can't. It worked when we killed 22million in WWII.
folks that want to abuse it will use a web socket or silent audio to hack around it and sites that weren't abusing it get throttled? I guess it'll help with some poorly optimized sites though...

I wouldn't mind getting millions of dollars in free advertising. I mean, it wasn't an 'ad' so Disney didn't pay anything for it, right?

Dammit. Way to undermine your entire point.

they're cowardly. Making movies is hard work. Reselling last gens hits is a safer bet. Probably 80% of the /. crowd will get suckered into seeing it.
and it's been downhill non stop.
