The reason being that the state law does not require them to sure injury.
Hmm, wonder if the same logic would apply to someone suing the State of Illinois over collecting biometric information for Driver's License? Yes, height, weight, picture are "biometric info" used to identify the user....
Some may find that as creepy but honestly if I were a cook I would welcome something that alerted me if I could be doing better with food safety.
So, how do you feel about TFA, which isn't talking about something to alert the cooks to food safety problems, but alerting the EMPLOYER of the cook to food safety problems caused by the cook?
Myself, I wouldn't mind at all using an app that tried to teach me better food safety by warning me when I was doing something dumb. But I'm not that enamored of the idea of an app to warn my employer that I'm doing something dumb without bothering to let me in on the problem (and attempt to correct it) first....
Okay, I can see where putting fossilized carbon back into the atmosphere is a bad thing. Hence the drive to reduce burning of coal, oil, and natural gas (well, except that noone is pushing for that to stop, they're cheering it on).
But getting excited about burning wood, which was NOT fossilized carbon, but carbon removed over the last few decades????
C'mon guys. If AGW fanatics want to be taken seriously, at least stick to the science - which is all about putting fossilized carbon back into circulation.....
WTF? Seriously, what the actual fuck. Do you have any idea what losing 25% of the jobs effectively overnight (that's what "at risk" implies) means?
Yeah, it'll be even worse than the introduction of tractors and harvesters to farming was! Admittedly, the impact on farming jobs only meant that farming jobs went from 80%+ of the population to 5% effectively overnight. Not nearly so bad as this will be....
But time in the sack has been steadily decreasing. In 1942, a Gallup poll found that adults slept an average of 7.9 hours per night. In 2013, the average adult had sheared more than an hour off that number.
That's all very interesting, but was 1942 a typical year, comparable to, say, the norm for the last five centuries?
Mind you, I grew up at a time when the "norm" (theoretically) was eight hours a night. And I generally get seven to eight these days. Or six, if the weather is bad and my dog is in panic mode due to thunder. Or five some nights, because, you know, I'm getting older and older people need less sleep, and....
But asserting that eight hours is the norm and " In the blink of an eye, in evolutionary terms, humans have radically altered a fundamental biological necessity" based on a 1942 survey seems a bit of a stretch....
Our congressional leaders don't work together in the very chamber where they should be conducting business.
Face it, the job is too big for 435 people. If you were to split the Federal budget into Representative-sized chunks (435 of them), they'd each have to figure out how to spend $30,000,000 PER DAY.
If you really want the government to be more responsive, more of it needs to be devolved to lower levels, so the number of controlling entities is in the hundreds of thousands, not hundreds....
Okay, so you cannot see any evidence that global warming and climate change is affecting you, even though the evidence is there, it is overwhelming and the effective is very significant.
Okay, I'll bite. How is it affecting me? Seriously, you seem to know more about it than any of the scientists, so what significant effect has touched my life to date?
3. Higher Oil prices. (sure they are lower now) ($4.00 a gallon hurts a lot, I need to find a better source of energy, well being green isn't so bad)
Where do you pay $4/gallon for gas? I generally pay about $2. Which, adjusted for inflation, is about what my father paid as a youth....
5. Weather has been more erratic. ( Hotter heat waves, colder cold snaps, hurricanes becoming more common hitting further North. 100 year floods happening every decade now.)
Alas, weather isn't climate. And even unusual weather isn't climate.
Along with the rest of your points, it seems to reduce to "we want to believe in climate change because that eeeevil man in the White House doesn't".
Personally, I believe in climate change. It's been happening for the last 250 megayears at least, no reason to expect it to stop. Alas, I don't believe that it's happening quite as fast as the news has it happening (note that I'm not disagreeing with the scientists, just with the way the science is being peddled to the public), which is what is getting people excited about it....
And it is very likely that the people getting excited due to misleading news about climate change are going to be quite put out when it becomes clear that what the news says and what the scientists say doesn't match....
So, you're trying your best to imply that the Democrats are very much in favour of civilian space?
Is there any evidence of that?
Especially given the Democrat control of Congress during Nixon's terms, and their control of the House for all of Reagan's terms (and the Senate for part of Reagan's terms).
As well as their control of Congress during the early/mid-nineties (depending on how one counts "mid 90s" of course. - they had control till '95, but lost it in the mid-terms then - thanks to Clinton)....
You DO remember that the Congress is the group that spends the money, right?
Turns out, it is impossible to keep Amazon off your life.
All you have to do is turn your computer(s) off and leave them off. And yes, your cellphone is a computer....
Now, if you want to have the conveniences of modern life along with no Amazon, that's another story. Note that she'd have the same sort of difficulties if she tried to get completely away from the electric company....
One more incredible medical service that will be available to those who can afford it. Gotta take care of rich folks! Who would give the rest of us jobs?
Sort of like airplane travel, you mean? Or television, perhaps? Both of which were only available to the very wealthy at first....
too much screen time is bad, the question is what is too much?
We can replace "screen time" with basically anything at all, and it'll still be true. Try it sometime...
Too much sleep is bad, the question is what is too much?
Too much reading is bad, the question is what is too much?
Too much outdoor time is bad, the question is what is too much?
Too much thinking is bad, the question is what is too much?
See how that works?
Let's try a novel notion. Let parents raise their kids, and only interfere when it becomes clear that their kids are a danger to others, or are in danger themselves.
And by "danger", I don't mean "not like the other kids", I mean the imminent death or loss of important body parts type of danger....
Oh, and what about the personalized ads that show up in Windows and Xbox?
What about them? Never got one, never will.
That said, would you prefer the television model? Just serve up random ads to you? If ads are going to be part of the world, you pretty much have the choice of random ads, or ads restricted to things you might, just possibly, be interested in buying...
Don't know about you, but if I have to see ads, I'd rather see ads for products I might want rather than random whatever....
Oh, and amazingly, I've never actually felt a compulsion to buy something just because I saw an ad for it.
Disclaimer: I use ad-blocking software. I haven't actually seen an ad on my computer in a very long time. But I couldn't care less that someone is trying to show me ads for products/services I might be interested in buying....
(Other countries are avoiding US goods and services to avoid Tariffs
Hmm, other countries are avoiding US goods because the US is making noise about imposing tariffs on...imported goods?
That doesn't make any sense at all....
Note that the government can't really do anything to help recover from a recession. Or don't you remember the Great Depression (yeah, we stopped using that word afterwards, but a "recession" is just a depression by another name)? The only thing that pulled the world out of that one was WW2....
Historically, it's caused fewer problems than automobiles have - automobile-related deaths outnumber nuclear power related deaths by a factor of 10000 or so.
a/ do we have enough uranium ?
Yes. Even without breeder reactors, we've got enough uranium for centuries, with breeders, we're talking tens of millenia worth of proven reserves. And it is VERY unlikely we've found all the uranium deposits there are.
b/ where do we store the waste ?
We don't store the waste. We reprocess the waste to remove the fission products that suck up neutrons, and then we reuse the "waste". Again, stretching the reserves from centuries to millenia.
Mind you, nuclear power is not, in and of itself sufficient. It is a wonderful source of baseload power. It's pretty much worthless for peakload (caveat: the kind of reactors used in naval nuclear reactors is capable of providing transient power for peaking. However, it requires relatively high amounts of uranium compared to a standard civilian plant. Not weapons-grade, but close enough to make nuclear weapons development MUCH easier. So using nuclear for peakloads is inadvisable, at best).....
If you're ever contemplating typing something of the form "NOUN and PRONOUN verb", ask yourself "would this make sense if I dropped the "NOUN and" part? If the answer is "no", you picked the wrong pronoun.
Note that in this case, that test leaves you with "And thus him created the project". So, change the pronoun to "he" and you're golden.
Remember, you're supposed to be among the best and brightest. You don't need to write like a semi-literate six-year-old....
Not only does it have sales data it can parse to determone what to sell it also can get a pretty good idea of price is for the item as well as the demand easticity to set price to get the most profit. They also know what others charge and sales numbers and can move their prices accordingly.
And other businesses can't do this? Really? Hint: every business does this to the greatest extent possible. And computers have made "greatest extent possible" a lot broader than 40 years ago. Or made it faster, at least....
I would like to know if this is a natural phenomenon or is it possible it is from sentient beings.
I'm sure the guys who detected the signals would like to know that too. Alas, there's probably no way to determine whether a 1.5 gigayear old signal is artificial. So, let's go with "natural" till we have more information.
Which we ought to have in 3,000,000,000 or so years....
