Any more than you can tax someone on their home value increasing
You've never paid property tax have you? That's exactly how property tax (the one that funds your local government, schools, etc) works.
Yes, but property tax is already pretty much a disaster economically and we don't have a property tax on anything other than real estate and business property. We really don't want to go down that road, as it'll just screw the middle class while the actual rich people leave their belongings in the Caymans or wherever.
Governments are not allowed to take donations, and many (if not all) of the issues addressed are Government issues. Governments take in money from taxes, so the only way for governments to get more money is to raise taxes.
Oh, bullshit. When I was single there were a few times when I had a $5 or $10 refund due from the IRS, and I simply wrote on the return "please deposit my refund in the general fund". Never heard from them again about it.
You are free to give as much to the US or any state or local government as you want. They don't want that - they want to give other people's money away.
I use Siri probably 5 times per day on average, and I have a problem with maybe once per week. I have teenagers so, shit, Siri is way ahead of the game in understanding simple directions.
I can make a calendar entry with Siri in 1/10th the time it takes to do it on the phone or desktop. "schedule teeth cleaning on may 5 at 9am at franklin dental care". It just works. "ask my wife do you want anything from the store while I'm here?" "call my wife". "wake me up at 6am" I don't use it for thousands of different things but for what I use it for it really makes using the phone much easier.
Even my wife can use it with her accent.
My main gripe with Siri is that I cannot get her to call me "el conquistador" unless I use straight spanish for the language. I can change to spanish and say "me llamo el conquistador" and it works, but when I switch back to english she tries to pronounce "el conquistador" using english pronunciation rules and it falls apart. Sadly, "mein fuerher" suffers the same problem.
not everyone uses a blackberry either... so its probably a non story for 99% of us
still interesting
Actually, rather than make a press release they should probably just message their user on Blackberry and let him know they're going to discontinue it.
Geeze, even our jobless are wealthy in a historical and global context - they can leave if they want. They can walk away if they need to, but nobody is forcing them to stay there.
One of the biggest problems with our welfare state is that we incentivize people to stay in jobless areas rather than helping them move somewhere that has jobs.
Both sides are stupid and wrong. the truth likely lays in the middle...
I would say "both sides are stupid and wrong sometimes, and both sides are intelligent and correct sometimes". It just depends on the issue.
I've found that folks on the left and right agree on quite a number of things individually but can't say it out loud for fear of angering the rest of their respective herd. I rarely go on facebook anymore because of the nuttery being pushed by both sides.
Give those special little snowflakes a taste of what everybody else has been living with for the last eight years.
Apparently you don't have facebook. My Democrat friends post another fake graphic every day showing how the economy is doing just *great*, better than ever! and everybody has a job and Obama has saved us. Except for Bernie Sanders supporters, who say Obama did a great job in recovering the economy but the rich people are making life bad for everybody.
By the way, everybody now also has health insurance! Yes, because the IRS will fine you a couple thousand bucks if you don't - which somehow means everybody has it. Don't ask how to get from point A to B there.
If the facts are on your side, Dershowitz says, pound the facts into the table. If the law is on your side, pound the law into the table. If neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table.
Apple is pounding the table with all this appeal to emotion, appeal to irrelevant authority, and appeal to popularity BS.
This is not good lawyering, this is good PR - as evinced by the fact that you fell for it.
Fell for it? I haven't even looked at it.
I don't have to read it to know that they have good lawyers.
But, here's the funny part - even if you win, you lose. You will still ultimately pay your lawyers more to defend your company than you would pay me in fulfillment of your contract. Your call.
Otherwise known as a cost of litigation settlement demand -- exactly the same technique patent trolls use to try to skim from businesses large and small. But, like many of them, eventually you're likely to run into a Newegg that understands that if it just forks over money every time it's threatened like that, it'll experience death by a thousand cuts. Companies make judgment calls all the time that it's better in the long run to pay the lawyers more for a particular case to set an example that they're not an ATM to everyone who comes along with their hand out.
I agree, but keep in mind that these were all cases where *they* demonstrably breached the contract and wouldn't have had a leg to stand on in court or arbitration. Their lawyers wouldn't have let it go to court or arbitration as they would have lost.
Unlike a patent troll, I'm not a dick. I don't take what's not mine, but I will defend my own rights.
Good, good, good, good, good... Wait, what is this? Positive changes, nothing to complain about?
Actually, I'm pissed that there's nothing to complain about. The videos sucked, and they got rid of them. I guess I can still complain about unicode until they fix that.
I'll put to you this way, if you ever are dealing with customer service, and have decided, well, I am just going to have to sue them, you know it's over. If you tell them that, they'll say go ahead, and they are out. If you instead document your problem, send a dispute notice with intent to arbitrate, they have 45 days to deal with you (in most cases), or else they are $1,000 minimum. You will get a call, it will be someone who can settle and solve problems, and that's that.
Not to discredit your great essay and experiences, but I've actually had resounding success multiple times by threatening to sue. However, I don't just yell "I'm going to sue you!" or something like that which they probably hear on a daily - if not hourly - basis.
I start at the top: "You've breached your contract, and because of that I will now sue your company. I do not make threats of lawsuits, I am telling you what I will do. Our contract has an arbitration clause, however, I will argue in small claims that because you've breached the contract my obligations are null and void and I should be able to sue you directly. I live in a close community where the judge doesn't take kindly to people who don't keep their word. It will cost me about $150 to file, it will cost your company a thousand dollars in lawyer time just to deal with coming here and unsuccessfully defending yourselves before you lose and pay me what I want. But, here's the funny part - even if you win, you lose. You will still ultimately pay your lawyers more to defend your company than you would pay me in fulfillment of your contract. Your call."
I've used a variation of that speech on three occasions - two to get a new refrigerator - and each time I was quickly transferred to someone who gave me exactly what I wanted without asking further questions.
You can't say "I'm going to sue". Instead, you have to make it painfully clear that you at least have passing familiarity with the legal system and the process. That little speech wouldn't work as well against their actual lawyers, by the way, but I have another method for dealing with them and I've had great success in other areas where I've interacted directly with counsel.
The issue is that people aren't defending their lives in the majority of cases. They are defending a few hundred dollars worth of well-insured electronics by taking the life of a desperate poor person. But like you, most Americans don't care, usually because the people that end up dead have a darker skin tone.
Ignoring the racial trolling, there are plenty of videos on liveleak where the victim gave the criminal what he wanted and ended up dead, anyway. A robber still has a motive to kill to get rid of the only witness to the crime.
If someone shows me that they are armed and they want to have my stuff they've then upped the ante as far as it goes, and I'm prepared (physically, logistically, and academically (i.e. training)) to respond with appropriate force up to and including deadly force. It's not about the "stuff" - I can buy more stuff. It's about my personal well-being, and (again, I hate to say this) as a person who contributes to the GDP and has a family that is being trained to also contribute to society I am worth more than a street thug who reduces the GDP. I will win.
such as the stand-your-ground law that allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense, actually increase gun-related deaths significantly.
Yeah, and who are the dead people? Because if it's a bunch of criminals that are being killed then - and I hate to say this - I don't care. They had a choice, after all.
I really can't imagine why anyone would think that another person has no right to defend himself, up to and including the use of deadly force where necessary. But, as others have pointed out, this "research" is really anti-gun loonery from the usual suspects.
How it's "news for nerds" or "stuff that matters", I don't know.
Title says it all. Everyone's favourite anti-nuke troll is running out of things to troll about.
When I read the story and saw that the guy was suing the power plant operator for his own mistake I immediately assumed that we have positive ID on mdsolar....
You helping somebody does not make you more competent than the person you help - it just proves that he can get the infromation he needs. Get off your high horse.
In general, I agree with you. In these cases, though, no, they were simply incompetent. That's why they worked at the university frankly - they could do little actual work and still get an annual raise and be pushed around from job to job where they supposedly learned something new and then applied it. It's kind of difficult to understand this if you worked in industry, as people like this would simply be fired if they worked at any typical company. It's so difficult to actually fire someone at the university that nobody ever bothers.
We had one incompetent "executive-level" manager be asked to leave at one point, but she had caused so much damage (along with her husband) that there was no way to keep her there. Even so, she wasn't outright fired, just told that she needed to leave while she could still get a positive recommendation. Our acting director sent an email to the entire department that basically said "if someone calls and asks about ________ tell them she was great." Embarrassing, really.
The only "day job" I've ever had was at a place with open salaries (public university). It made annual negotiations *easy*. I mean, wonderfully easy.
I've found that public universities (and other govt enterprises) you negotiate "promotions" not "salaries". Where many private companies have a few job-positions with a spectrum of salaries, government enterprises tend to have a plethora of job-positions with open/fixed salaries and you negotiate your step or your job-level instead of your salary. At the end of the day, it seems to me a 6 or a 1/2 dozen...
Maybe it's different in your university, but in my experience, in the government sector, nobody really broadcasted their job-level or step so even though the amount for each job/step was public info, you didn't know the secretary answering the phone was at a manager/supervisor level job with the highest step (because she was there 25 years and her manager kept on making up new job opening to promote her w/o having her change jobs after she reached the highest step for her previous "job"). Of course if the department was small enough and the job descriptions were diverse enough, you could probably narrow it down to one person, but I guess I never saw that...
Truth, but in our case the level was part of the public information, along with salary. I also went up pretty quickly that way, and some of my raises were simply due to being at a higher level.
In short, open salaries actually encourage salary negotiations.
The only "day job" I've ever had was at a place with open salaries (public university). It made annual negotiations *easy*. I mean, wonderfully easy.
"Let's see - so-and-so is incompetent and he makes $x. I helped so-and-so about 10 times last year with questions, he's also incompetent, and he makes 2 times my salary. I don't care how long he's been here - he's asking a 22 year old new hire for help - I produce more work than him."
My boss complained when I quit 4 years later that in the 4 years I was there my salary increase percentage-wise was the highest in the department. Okay.
The usual pirate scenario seems to be a fairly small fishing type boat attacking a large ocean going ship. The former is usually wooden and the latter a multi-story sized hunk of steel.
I'm not sure why even a.50 cal semi-auto sniper-style rifle wouldn't be more than a match for pirates in a small wooden boat. The effective range of RPGs is only a few hundred meters and the ability to fire it accurately from a small boat in the ocean seems pretty limited. It's slow to fire repeated rounds and the effect is likely to be limited against a large, steel ocean going freighter.
The.50 round is effective at much longer ranges, a large ship would provide a much more stable and accurate firing platform in addition to being able to fire multiple rounds quickly. One guy with a.50 sniper rifle could probably do serious damage to a wooden fishing boat, with nowhere safe to hide for its crew and way outside the effective range of a RPG.
There are legal issues about having weapons on a ship. That is, when they transit different national waters, they may, or may not, be allowed to have some, or any, weapons on the ship, regardless if it's stored or not.
Simpler. Say your boat leaves a country where you can legally have Gatling guns. You transit inside another nation's waters where you can't legally have one, such as the Canada, US, or Mexico.
If enough shipping companies got together and said "we can't ship to the US since we can't have guns" that would change overnight.
200 years ago it was a given that a decent ship would be outfitted with cannon and defensive measures. We're back in the age where pirating at sea is a profitable criminal enterprise, so it's time that ships become armed again. Most pirates just come in small fast boats that would be trivial to destroy with any sort of boat-mounted weapon.
The other issue that needs to be addressed is why Somalis started in pirating in the first place. You can read up on that elsewhere.
If Disney was truly concerned with limiting overcrowding, a very simple solution would be limit the number of tickets sold.
Not an econ major, eh?
Raising the price will result in fewer ticket sales, and will help drive people to visit on less busy days. That's even better for Disney as it helps them smooth out the crowds a bit and makes employee scheduling easier.
Also, Disney's parks aren't like watching a show in a theater. There's no defined start/stop time except for open and close, and most people come after opening and leave before closing. When we went a few years ago we had a "park hopper" pass and visited more than one park some days.
Raising the price solves the problem and doesn't introduce any new problems. And, as others have said, it's pretty normal, anyway, to pay extra during peak times. Hotels sure cost more during spring break in Florida than they do on January 15, right?
