Aren't there meteorologists all over the country working for private news agencies whose whole job it is to do a barely passable job of predicting the weather just like NWS?
Hiring someone that is a certain race/gender or more specifically that is NOT a specific race or gender to create an artificially diverse population where it wouldn't otherwise exist doesn't prevent racism or sexism it IS racism or sexism. The only way to actually end these things is to forget about "pro-diversity" campaigns altogether and hire/promote solely based on skillset, experience, credentials and on the job performance.
These cars are leased rather than purchased because they are a ticking time bomb of pile after pile of huge heaping expense to keep them on the road based on the cost of battery replacements and high-current charging circuits, etc......... While they may be better for the environment they will be far, far more expensive to keep on the road and will have nearly no resale value when they get to their end of life.
I don't care for the KKK OR the Black Panthers but I respect their right to say the stupid things that they say.... perhaps rather than policing speech we
embrace free expression
It's all a bunch of lies and it isn't poor focus, it's laser focused.
Jon Stewart said it best with his visit to "crossfire"
CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC are all brutally and blatantly liberally slanted. Fox news and it's associated BS networks and radio are blatantly conservative slanted... I am not a trump voter, and have never been a supporter of his, but it's not too far to call it all fake news.
Whether you're talking about swinging left or swinging right it's very difficult for people to believe their news sources when they have proven
over and over again to be partisan hacks. As an example, while there was looting and rioting in St Louis earlier this year to the point that the national guard was deployed for several days to keep the peace it never made the front page of cnn.com because they were too laser focused on destroying Trump by making front page news out of every single tweet that he wrote.
If we want to get to a place where the news organizations are trusted by people gain, whether left or right, we have to get to a point where they objectively report facts rather than where our news organizations are subscribed to one set of political ideologies and use that to influence what comes out of their news broadcasts.
The first sentence of this is a goof... they can't understand proposals to regulate a content provider and what they do with information that is implied to be non-public but they are all for regulating whose traffic ISPs can regulate/shape on the networks that they own and operate..... this is silliness.
This is BS.... The way that I read this is just that they are trying to get as many people to resign as possible without having to pay out severance packages knowing that a huge % of their employees won't want to uproot their families just to keep working at IBM. If the people quit rather than having a RIF they don't look weak.
It's actually very, very different. A powerful green laser shined into someone's eyes will cause harm to exactly 100% of the people or animals on earth..... a strobe gif might cause a seizure in.0001% of the population and wouldn't even effect the majority of controlled epileptics.
We're treading dangerously into territory where you're trying to read minds. You would have to prove intent..... you would have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you intended to and actually believed that your actions would harm someone. The burden of proof would be very particular because sending that same email to 99% of the population, even including many epileptics, would do no harm.
Their premise in pushing this propaganda is that people would go to the theater to watch these movies if they didn't or couldn't download them. The
problem is that there have been so many horribly disappointing movies the last few years hitting the box office that people are just voting with their
dollars..... Suicide Squad is a perfect example. It was hyped for almost two years, all of the trailers made it look amazing but the final cut was barely
more than a character introduction with nearly none of the joker that people were longing for...... it doesn't take too many movies like this before
people just throw up their hands and give up.
Also, there is a huge contingent of people that only download movies because they don't actually enjoy going to the theater. Their best play to try
and increase revenues at this point would be to actually put some kind of system in place to see current run movies from home with a simultaneous PPV
release system of some kind. Rather than hurting overall revenues I think this would increase revenues in the end. People that like going and doing the big
screen experience would still go and people that don't would still be putting dollars into the system.
No, it's easy.... when I'm providing a system to provide electricity for 120 million homes vs 2 million homes...... the materials required, cost, labor, maintenance, in terms of economies of scale are very, very different... In addition, more physical space doesn't make it easier, more space means more distance to haul the electricity across.
It's like suggesting that laws regarding health coverage or laws regarding gun control that work somewhere like scotland could ever work in the US in the same way...... you just can't compare any experiment that works in a single US city sized population with something that works across an entire country the size of ours that has more diversity than the whole of europe within it's borders.
This is really cool and I don't want to diminish the significance of this in general but this is a much simpler endeavor when you're talking about the entire country being the equivalent of a single mid-sized US major city.
I don't mean to be coy here but this is not a problem for anyone that does even the smallest amount of planning when they are searching for
a place to live or work. This whole phenomenon is really only an issue for someone that chooses to live/work at or below sea level up against
an ocean. Surely nobody is that stupid right?;)
Idiots build population centers in places like NYC, New Orleans, and the SF Bay area and then other stupid people decide that it's a good idea to live there despite
the fact that just a large tidal surge could destroy their homes, businesses, livelihoods, etc....
I am noticing a rather pervasive double standard here..... Racism is racism and any group that would put itself above all others is
the same so far as I'm concerned.
And as for the "cost of adaptation" it isn't just a cost of adaptation it's a reversal of stupidity. You cannot "prevent" climate change and you cannot reverse it.... if you make a dent in what you consider man-made climate change you still have to contend with the planets natural tendency to change constantly.
I don't know whether or not that you realize this but without humans and our industry mucking about the sea level has risen and fallen significantly over time several times... which is a significant indication that this will continue to happen going forward basically as long as this planet exists whether we do something or we do nothing...... so the adaptation is a requirement for the survival of the species...... not just to deal with the activity of man.
So having a longer growing season and more rain inland, where the food is typically grown is now somehow bad for food production? What planet do you live on?
We need to stop looking to to fix something and work on the obvious... clean our environment up as much as possible, stop dumping chemicals, etc, into it wherever possible but any kind of plan to reverse it is futile. The climate will continue to change indefinitely so beyond trying to do less damage our focus should be on adapting to a changing climate. This planet is a living ever changing thing and if the way that we are living is going to be irreparably damaged by a few inches or even a few feet of ocean rise than as a people we are never going to survive. Stop being stupid, stop planting major population centers at or below sea level on a coastline and near somewhere with potential for hurricanes, year after year, etc.... If you know there is an active fault line, maybe don't build there? The bulk of tornado's generally follow a semi-consistent path... maybe lets not build our businesses or houses there and while we're at it maybe avoid active volcanos as much as possible as well?
The real problem with climate change has absolutely nothing to do with the climate... it has to do with the stupidity of the people that choose to live in low-lying areas up against bodies of water as big as a continent.
The reality of "global warming" is this. It renders more land, more habitable, it increases growing seasons and makes it so that we can feed more people....
No, I don't work for an oil company, yes, I do think that in general we should work to prevent pollution and keep our world clean, but I think large over-reaching measures to "fix" climate change are going to result in more damage to this planet and also have huge socio-economic impact on a huge number of people
trying to live here as well.

A strobe gif in an email is illegal, really? How are you going to prosecute that?
Simple ...... Use ZFS with ECC ram. It checksums all of your data and using ECC ram will prevent corruption during off disk filesystem operations
