I haven't heard a good reason why random people need to have guns. Random people don't get to have explosives, toxic chemicals, addictive drugs, nuclear material. In many cases these things are put to use in a productive manner but they are regulated and not everyone is allowed to have them and those who are must register for their use. What makes guns different? They are no more useful (to individuals) for waging a war against any modern army than knives would have been during the revolutionary war. There's no reason to continue to interpret the right to bear arms as being outside of the context of a regulated militia which would be trained and would have the additional means necessary to provide relief against an oppressive regime.
Seems to me that the majority is suffering the Tyranny of the minority right now. There are more non-gun owners than gun owners and yet the NRA is stopping us from having the law applied equally, carving out exceptions on background checks so their army of guerilla gun sellers can keep the gun business in profits.
There is no constitutional right to profit. All sellers of weapons need to be held accountable for selling to criminals, unstable people and fanatics.
If the NRA won't police it's own why should the public pick up the tab? It's cheaper for the public to just ban selling guns from the backs of pickups, ban the AR profit center and make the gun business get its shit together.
When will the gun supporters can get their collective heads pulled out of the gun businesses rear end and demand that they put in place a responsible plan to keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people?
Ha!!!!!!!! You've got no idea. Lets see for a one year old. You'll need 8 rolls of paper towels a week, a 40 count of diapers (yes 5 a day), a 3 count of baby wipes (this will last for the next 2 years minimum), 20 jars of baby food, a few cans of formula (you're transitioning to solids right now, most of it will get tossed out though). That covers the kid's weekly needs. Hope the local has a pharmacy... ear infections, teething fevers, strep (more a problem when you have a 3 year old) and a variety of other bacterial and viral infections. You'll also go to the doctor a few times a month to get these prescriptions along with normal checkups and shots. Then you've got the fact that your kid will be growing out of everything so you'll need new clothes, new shoes, new toys and educational activities about every 3 months. There will be play dates and birthdays and generally more going places because you'll want your kid to be exposed to interesting places and ideas.
So you'll do this stuff or your spouse will, rain or shine and when you or both of you are sick and regardless of your other commitments. It's going to become very very tempting to "run errands" which means spending hours going from place to place to get it all done in one go rather than 2-3 times that by doing it one at a time. At this point you'll be looking closely at the budget and thinking hmmm should I buy in bulk 30 min away and save 30% while I'm out anyways. Then you'll decide to just buy your own food and supplies at the big box as well and lower your standards.
That's one child. Now add two more. Those kids aren't going to stay home. They'll scream bloody murder to go with you and your spouse is going to say "be a good father and spend some time with your kids" or he/she won't have a choice and will have to take them. So when that happens those kids re going to try walking off in 3 directions at once. They'll be grabbing things and begging for things and having "accidents" and needing water, snacks, their favorite toy you forgot to bring.
Have fun with that on your 1 hour bike ride that should only take 10 minutes. Lets not forget that it takes kids at least 20 min. just to get out the door.
We're already dealing with automation in entertainment. It was one of the first industries to go in fact. Radio and Television replaced live theatre and live music. Then came tapes and VHS. Then CDs and DVDs. Now it all just streams from a server. Think of today's artists as robot programmers. They do it once then sit back and let the "robots" do the work.
Agreed. Many many degreed individuals think they are done learning. They want to coast on their formal education. When you find someone motivated enough to qualify without a degree it means they don't know how to coast. That's a really good trait to look for. There are plenty of people with degrees who also have that trait but if you use the degree as the filter you're still going to have to wade through a ton of resumes. When you turn the filter off and get the one or two with no degree, they stand out.
Buy music. Make it available to 5 devices at a time. Allow it to be format shifted at will (granted its to Apple supported formats). Allow it to be burned to a CD up to 10 times.
Even the stupidest, most retarded or genetically impoverished human is orders of magnitude more sentient and "intelligent" than 99.999% of the other species on the planet.
We may be missing the smoking gun but as the parent said, 20 years of use and no real world problems with health that have been correlated with GMO.
Cheap corn syrup (probably GMO) is the biggest problem, causing the American obesity epidemic. That's not a GMO problem though.
Again we could be in the middle of a GMO related epidemic and not realize the cause but no one has announced it (and I'd expect someone is looking for it).
BPA in plastics is a bigger problem, antibiotics in live stock is a bigger problem, outbreaks of listeria and botulism are bigger problems, hormones and chemicals in the water supply are a bigger problem.
It's not a zero sum problem of course so I encourage people to look for the smoking gun but to date it has not been found and its been decades now of widespread use.
It's not food that's imported. It's raw ingredients for food.
Chain fast food, super markets, restaurants, boxed mixes, cereals, microwave dinners, frozen foods, etc. There is a lot of waste in making these products. There's a lot of waste in selling them and a lot of waste in storing them.
To remove that waste requires a vastly different food culture. Fast food chains alone throw out a huge amount of stuff as there are regulations they must abide by and no good way to estimate demand well enough to just stock what people will buy.
Full service restaurants are not much better. To provide good service they must stock enough to cover potential demand, not actual demand. Multiply that gap by hundreds of thousands of restaurants and it adds up quickly. No they can't just reheat it the next day (few prepared foods can be stored this way, sauces, soups are pretty much it).
Super markets now have quick meals, delis, bakeries as well - don't forget standalone delis, bakeries. They all have wasted food at the end of the day. At best they can donate to a local charity to give to poor. This might reduce waste by 1-2%.
Now think about the companies that make pre-prepared foods. How much waste is there? How many tons of grain that was contaminated and had to be thrown out, how many tons of veggies that sat for too long or were not high quality enough.
It's not the end consumers who primarily waste food, it is the food industry which has a margin of waste that is acceptable (they price it in to the product).
An unpublicized reading or performance is a private performance (unpublicized meaning by definition not made known to the public). If the nursing home had advertised the performance using the title of the performed work in any way, as opposed to having "reading time" or "music time" on a schedule, then they would fall uner public performance guidelines.
If you don't make the performance of the specific work known to the public then it is a private performance.
But then the question is how much info needs to be presented? Not very much apparently. So what is the point of it if it only covers a few percent of the need?
Sorry the modern web is about interacting with information, not just reading text or looking at a page of pictures.
So what you do in this case is to ask leading questions about their objectives, suggesting adjustments by re-phrasing their responses. As you do this your suggestions somehow will be in feature parity with what you just finished estimating and the only changes will be to the look and feel.
TV stations made mistakes in the past and people got to watch a guy blow his head off with a shotgun. They don't do "live" anymore. There's always a few minutes delay so they can cut in time.
Assuming that the major battery drain of a smartphone with wifi off, GPS off (until you need it) and no apps with background processes, is the display. You could keep the phone in a small pouch and get the advantages of the watch tracking things like heart rate, temp, messages, etc while extending the life of your phone.
There was once a smartwatch called the Timex Datalink. The OEM pulled the data before you could blink. It only had sports scores and annoying alarms. Not like these new ones with all of their charms... (Pebbles first non clock sdk will be sports related, derp).
Modern currency is backed by labor and debt. I do work for a company which creates a debt they owe me. The company sells stuff to someone which creates a debt that person owes the company. The company takes the debt owed to the company from the sale of stuff and give it to me to pay for my labor. I take that debt and give it to a store in exchange for stuff. They take the debt I traded and use it to pay their employees. Rinse and repeat.
If the value of labor goes down, so does the value of the debt traded for it. If the value of labor goes up, so goes the value of debt.
It's really not very hard to understand and artificially scarce resources like gold really have no place in the system.
If you think labor has no value then you've missed the point of currency altogether (it's just a proxy for labor, derp). If you think that gold has an intrinsic value other than it's utility as a conductor and it's nature as a noble element, well enjoy your delusion.
Paper currency is nothing but a substrate with a serial number on it BTW exactly the same as the metal coins you referred to. The serial number is the important part... which can be represented in a digital form just as easily as on paper. The serial number is nothing more than a shorthand contract. You can just as easily write out an IOU aka a check and the other person can go and get the funds or sign it over and trade it for goods at an exchange, as long as you have a reputation for honoring your debts - if not, stick with the official currency and you don't have to worry about your reputation.
That's exactly what you're supposed to believe. If everyone was getting rich quick then what would be the point? I mean, if I knew where some buried treasure was and it's location was published online, I'd be the first to be out there telling everyone it was a scam and to steer clear...
Write your public and private Apis first. Then implement them quick and dirty. Get feedback. Get users. Keep working on the API to make improvements. As you get more traffic hire good people to reimplement those same APIs on a better tech stack. Runs and repeat. You can even mix and match platforms, just use a smart routing proxy like HAProxy to send requests to the appropriate places. Static files go to a CDN, logins can go to something small but secure, high volume requests can go to a big cluster or IaaS like Amazon or Google for on demand scaling.

Robots need energy. Energy isn't free (yet?).

Apple did that already.
