What you can do is give innocent, law abiding civilians the opportunity to defend themselves in case of an emergency, while they wait for the swat team to arrive.
I think that's a great idea. You fire at the shooter and attract his full undivided attention, and his bullets, while I run. I promise to come to your funeral.
Lazy developers implemented those properties using the prefixed property, since that's all that was available at the time, but didn't go back to fix the code afterwards when the standard was finalized.
Why fix what wasn't broken? And now Mozilla's decision means they won't ever have to.
If I ever wrote a web browser, I would subtly alert the user and blame the web site whenever a web page is significantly worse than average at conforming to standards. Maybe a little public shaming would get developers to fix their code.
But according to Brooks' law, adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. So hiring additional workers would actually be counterproductive.
Corps benefit handsomely from our infrastructure, school systems and workforce subsidies. I'd like to see them paying for some of those benefits...
So, more road tolls then? Can you think of a more equitable way to pay for freeways than by usage?
Even better, express tolls permanently eliminate traffic congestion and with it any need to widen the road to eliminate traffic congestion. That would save taxpayers a lot of money going forward.
There's an easy fix for the problem of land banking: increase real estate taxes, especially on unimproved land. Then use that revenue to lower other taxes, perhaps taxes that are more regressive such as the sales tax. (Austin's is 8.25%--they truly despise the poor, and their sales tax shows it.)
North Carolina...are running into problems with lack of storage during peak sunlight.
"Lack of storage" is an interesting way to explain the problem. Others would call the practice of charging well above market equilibrium, "price gouging."
Why must jail be the only option? Why not a psychological assessment to see if the person actually poses a danger to society, and if so, check the person into a mental health facility?
It's sad that in this country, revenge (euphemistically called "retribution" by legal types) is the main purpose for locking someone away, even above more noble goals such as rehabilitation and societal protection.
The population of Flint is about 100K, with 8% under 5 years old, so we can estimate that somewhere around 160 children in Flint received a high dose of lead as a result of the water switch.
No, we can't. We can only estimate that 160 children under 5 years old received a high dose of lead. Not all children are under 5 years old.
Now that there are ample laws in place protecting employees, unions have become less necessary.
Perhaps, but as long as unions give their members value--as long as employers cave to union demands--unions will continue to exist, "necessary" or not.
You see, LCDs are fixed-colors with narrow bandwidth. You often have a 630nm red, 550nm green, and 450nm blue crystal pixel filter. Because of that, you are NOT reproducing deeper reds or blues.
The NEC PA241W does. It's a wide gamut IPS LCD screen with no LEDs except the power light.
LED-based screens can overcome this.
By "LED-based," do you mean LED backlighting, or OLED?
Hit-and-run drivers *should* be caught and prosecuted, but I don't like any of the automated ways to do this. And, to be honest, I also don't like many of the manual ways to do this.

And worse, when "Request desktop site" doesn't work. I'm looking at you, Slashdot.
Even worse still, when the mobile site doesn't do everything the desktop site does. Slashdot, do you feel my gaze?

If there are no leaky abstractions.
Of the two, would you prefer to have a mechanic or a non-mechanic drive you to the other side of the country?
Why would grocery stores want rail tracks as long as trucks are so heavily subsidized that rail doesn't make financial sense?
And why can't electric trucks transport goods the short distance from the tracks to the grocery store?
Would a diesel hybrid need a turbocharger?
Should airlines do the same for their pilots?

The problem is when the tax on the property doesn't cover the property's burden on the city.

If only that were true.
Trick question. Since you never had a chance to set your vote, there's nothing to change.
You're paying so the person can repay his debt to you. Or something.
If traffic throughput is important, then because it peaks at about 60 mph on freeways, freeway speed limits should be lowered, right? As a bonus, it would also improve fuel economy, which peaks at around 25-60 mph depending on the vehicle.
But that's only if you value throughput over speed, which not even traffic engineers do.

Then what's the point of licensing?
Absolutely false. You can't cure congestion by increasing capacity. Ever notice how every time after you widen a freeway, it's congested again within 10 years?
It seems silly that the difference between crime and not-crime is whether you wrote your thoughts on paper.
I get that society should be protected from imminent threats, but it seems clumsy to call it a crime when there are no victims.
