It probably would. If the men were more worried about where their next meal was comming from they'd have less time to oppress the women. Look at the few hunter gatherer societies left. They might be patriarchal but the men off hunting all day, the women are at least left to their work without someone making sure they keep a tarp over themselves and remain in doors
That was because people who were in leadership positions the. Had been educated before this moral relativism, politically correct, every opinion is valid; crap took hold. People have been taught not to think not to judge. It's sad really because there is such a thing as justice, there is right and wrong and now so man are blind to it. So everyone just sits by why these travesties unfold.
Would this even be legal? Psychopathy is a recognized disease/disability if you test for it and use it to restrict caree path would that not be against the ADA?
All of the go niche posts are going to lead to tears. I keep seeing do anime, or do unusual scifi, or become and expert service, book/movie clubs. The trouble I see here is these all rely on exclusivity and digital media by its very nature defies that.
It might be true that today none of the big streaming services is quite all things to all people but the market is speaking pretty clearly. The horse has left the barn some combination of streaming and digital downloads are the future video distribution, at least as far as entertainment is concerned.
All the nice plans will require a major investment, and the corner video store guy is not going to be able to negotiate any kind of license exclusivity. All it would take is one of the big streaming players to get some blanket license agreements for the big content players ( who own the rights to much of the independent and historical stuff one way or another ) and suddenly his very narrow selection of customers is gone to greener pastures. In the meantime he will have invested lots of capital into assets of little or no residual value.
Personally I think his best bet if its good retail space is sell off library and lease or sublet the shop to someone interested in operating a business of some kind fit for the modern era.
Come on you are just spinning it left. The expense of even hansom raises for a handful of executives is a tiny drop in the pool compared with the cost of benefits and compensation for other employes when you are the type of business with 100s of drivers and shop floor type workers.
So let me ask you this: If you had a business and you could see the writing on the wall. Your total cost of compensation for all those employees is rising much faster than revenue and the market won't bare higher prices and you know the employee's unions won't likely give up enough compensation to save you what would you do?
I would give myself a nice raise and pad my personal bank account while I could. Pumping my salary and that of some other key execs to keep them from jumping ship prematurely will let us operate the business as long as possible. The extra cost of the added salary is likely mean the other employees end up on unemployment a time interval measured in at most weeks sooner. No much real harm to them and actually it might mean that we run longer because if I don't bribe the other execs who are most likely to have better options to hang on a little longer they will probably bail and making the whole operation that much less effective that much sooner.
Don't be so quick condemn every executive that takes a pay raise at an ailing company. Unless its a TBTF they might just be making the best of an already fatal situation.
Thank you for your post. The 1967 boarders thing is an intellectually bankrupt argument designed to confuse the issue and set Israel up to fail. It would leave them with no security at all, which is an unacceptable outcome for people that have had rockets falling on their homes for decades as it is.
Also as you said they were attacked, actions have consequences. You pick a fight with someone stronger than you, often there is cost.
Here lies the problem, everyone has a right to exist. When someone else or anything group threatens your existence I think you have a pretty universal right to defend yourself. None of the peaceful resolutions really work because there is one bit a real-estate both sides insist on having Jerusalem.
Lots of people keep going back to history. At the end of the day the Jews really did have it first. Islam is the younger faith after all. So I don't think there is any case to be made that the Israeli's have less claim than any other group. Some other groups have occupied the teritory thoughout history as well and may also have a claim that is as good.
So I am kinda come down on the side of really we ought to just let them slug it out. Sometimes "might makes right" is as close to justice as is practical with human beings. The thing is the balance of power, world opinion, population sizes and a number of other things are trending against Israel.
So I agree with you; if I were Prime-minister there today, out of my own sense of self preservation, I'd be pretty tempted to fight it out now why I still probably have the upper hand. I'd want a decisive outcome too. That probably requires a bloody business of killing their political class, a good portion of the fighting age men, and leaving a general and intractable state of economic ruin behind (salt the earth if need be). Finally push my boarders outward toward Egypt to create a buffer for my existing cities.
I agree that war is not always wrong. I take issue with this. Yes I am familiar with just ware theory.
it makes a lot of difference since we have not had any just war in decades and decades.
What I think people who write this mean, regardless of if the realize it or not, is that we have not had a war with a clear winner in many decades.
I am sure the Nazi's felt very justified in fighting the war and had they won and written the history and philosophy texts afterward, many of us under 30 types who are at least a full generation removed might agree with them. I think we like give ourselves entirely two much credit for being able to recognize what justice is. Anyone who looks at my posts will find I have pretty clear idea of whats right and what isn't but that might very well just be a product of the propaganda I grew up with. I'd like think I am open to new facts and ideas, and yes sometimes my opinions evolve. I also see others frequently make any fact fit their personal narrative; the human brain is pretty good at that. I love to think I am above confirmation bias but I am not so naive to discount it completely.
Right from a cost/capacity/maintainability standpoint wet lead acid batteries make much more sense. These MH and LI batteries virtues are density and weight neither of which nearly as big a concern when you don't need have them mobile. The only reason they are interesting at all is the economics, where their performance might be to degraded for automotive use but they could see a second use life as stand by power.
Still I find it highly questionably. Most LI batteries work near original capacity for their life span and then deteriorate very rapidly. How long is this second service life? The cost of installation, removal, and disposal all happening pretty frequently vs other batter technologies which can a decade and longer now, might very well negate the savings in reusing these things.
My other concern is its often worse having an unreliable backup than no back up. At least if you know you don't have electricity when the mains are down you can plan on having a neuroscience heater and some fuel around, gas lanterns etc. I'd hate to go around thinking I was protected and find my battery was worthless when I really need to run the heat in the winter. Yea I know test your backups.
Trouble is its hard to really validate a UPS's batteries are good except under load. Real load tests are sorta a pain in the arse to do at any frequency except where you have high tech like phase synced automatic transfer switches and such you won't have in a residential setting because they cost way to much.
just about every farm tractor has a "power take off" essentially an output shaft off the transmission or directly off the engine on smaller machines to run other equipment.
I agree it would be really really nice if at least larger autos like pickups and SUVs had this; maybe with a little electronic interconnect to allow external device to control the throttle servo the cruise control ordinarily uses. Naturally safety interlocks to make sure this stuff is only usable when the main transmission is in neutral. Then you could just back the thing out on to the drive, cable up the transfer switch attach the generator to the take off and produce as much electricity as you can use as long 16gal of petrol lasts.
No he probably does not keep the kettle on 24/7. Maybe you missed the multiple uses of the work "peak" in the grandparent. Still I don't think its the least bit unusual, especially for those that don't live alone to have that or a similar combination of appliances running all at the same time. I often have the washer dryer running while I am cooking dinner, and have the TV on so I can see the news. So swap out your tea kettle for electric stove top and there you are. Now consider the things you don't really control like when the fridge compressor cycles on or even if you have gas fired hear the blower motor starts up, and you might have bigger peak loads than you at first expect.
Is it unreasonable that when on emergency power you might modify your behavior and say wait to do the laundry; sure but I think his point was that under "normal" conditions a single person might at any given time draw as much as 10kW. So estimating that much is a suitable backup power source for 5 homes; is highly optimistic at best.
I agree with your argument but I would also add that because the Constitution also secures a right to assemble, its clear to me at least that an Organization is a first class entity just like an individual. The right of individuals to express themselves by forming an organization and acting as unit should be protected.
The trouble is ERP really has an unlimited scope, it should either do everything or gather information from everything else, and likely push information back to everything else. That is sorta the point.
ERP projects fail because people try do it all at once. Rather than tackle a few core function like GL while building a solid framework on the technical side.
They fail on the human side because usually they are pushed for by one or two important people who get it, while the rest of the business imagines its just going to re-implement their existing process; which is not probably what needs doing just what is being done. The ERP platform might not be a good fit. You don't gain anything with a clumsy re-implementation of some paper process built around the assumptions of limitations that no longer apply. You get a bunch of frustrated people who don't understand why they have to learn something new that offers no real improvement; or worse simply does not do what they need because someone realized they did not understand ERP and rather than stop and educate decided to just write the requirements and specs for them without really understanding what they do.
I don't know that Intel has better engineers. They doubtless have more engineers. Intel also has fewer constraints on their engineers. It harder to build a low power chip on a larger process. Its going to be hard to beat, on instructions per watt, the highly competent engineers at Intel who have access to 22nm process when your fabs can only do 28 and larger, even if you put together an engineering dream team.
I totally get understand wanting generate likes on FB so that you get discovered more often and easily. That last part of the sentence though is the point, and I think the GP hit on it. You want to be discovered on FB, but your marketing effort should be to lead the user away from FB and back to your own home page as fast as possible.
You don't want users learning about you on FB where they might very well receive message not exactly in line with the ones you wanted to send. You want them on your site where you full control the message.
Second the one size fits all nature of FB is hardly a good user experience for delivering all types of content. Sure if you are roofing company or a daycare you can probably make it work as well as anything but If your in the entertainment business like the Mavericks are you really can probably put something together on your own site that is going to keep people their longer possibly ordering merchandise or buying tickets etc that is way more entertaining the anything you could do within the constraints of FB page. If you can't you have much deeper issuers.
Well someone should get that warning at some point, and they ought to be smart enough to generalize it to the digital world. Mom gave me some good advice when I was a kid that has served me very well.
"Never write anything down you don't want someone else to read."
I think he was fully informed he had just not thought things thru. The guy knew what the device did an how it worked. Its pretty open about exactly what it logs.
Lets not conflate carelessness and idiocy with being uniformed. It should be enough from my to label something "toxic", I don't see why I have to sit you down and explain why drinking a quart of it might have negative consequences, for the folks who can't work that out for themselves its Darwinism at its best.
I am not exactly disagreeing with you on any particular point but I would say that your view is perhaps overly simplistic. The fact is Obama got exactly two things of any consequence done in his first term, and incidentally those are the two things that if you actually poll the public you still see a near 50/50 split on if they were good or bad. During the first two years he had a majority in both houses. The fact that more did not happen in that period can not reasonably blamed on GOP obstructionism. It was political calculations by the DNC that did not pay off in the mid terms.
Both parties are more concerned with wining than with any particular agenda. If you are naive enough to think otherwise I really feel sorry for you.
There are also some pretty fundamental philosophical (not exactly policy) differences. That are hard to compromise on. These are things you feel a certain moral certainty about and obligation to fight for just because you are minority party is not a reason to not try and get your way if you can. Just imagine if Civil rights leaders in the 60's decided because they were in the minority they should just step aside until opinion shifts.
Your comment about ideas not being soldiers in an imaginary war ignores the issue of things being institutionalized as well. You cannot deny the difficulty in rolling back ideas like the SSA or The mortgage interest deduction, and now the Affordable Care act. These are the sorts of things citizens architect their lives around. So if you really oppose them on a moral level, you have to fight them with everything you got because you KNOW we will live with these things probably for as long as we are one nation.
The only effective way I can think to do this a fused chip, and make the whole thing time based.
Find the least replaceable semiconductor component. Whatever part would be most difficult to construct a suitable replacement for out of off the shelf parts parts Add fuses, clock, one time programmable date, and a little logic to check the date vs the clock and pop the fuses destroying the chip. That same logic should also destroy the chip if the clock loses power and the current time is lost.
Similar technology exists for TPM chips and smart cards. So retro-fitting some exisiting semiconductor component with those bits should be doable. What I don't know is if there is anything in a current stinger design a good EE and programer could not come up with a work around for.
Well a hypervisior is in theory a simpler beast than a operating system. Depending on your prespective it has less attack surface. I think thoes are good reasons to think we could get it right. The real source of trouble is the x86 world just does not provide the hardware isolation features needed.

compressed gases are usually a terrible way to store energy in terms of loss.
