BS? I more than doubled my salary in 4 years. It has tripled in 7 years.
I would agree that if you stay at the same company then you aren't going to get any kind of meaningful increase. Even if you stay in the same surroundings. I moved...to 4 different states in the period of 10 years.
I said that sometimes unemployment benefits are better than the prospective new job.
Everyone really needs to read what I wrote again. I didn't say "everyone". I also didn't say you get paid as much or more than the job you just lost. And it is very true. In a recession, salaries are supposed to decrease. And there is supposed to be deflation (but the Fed doesn't want that happening, do they?) There is a surplus of workers and salaries are supposed to decrease. Unemployment benefits, and extending them to nearly 100 weeks at one point, helped prevent this from happening.
If unemployment gets you 60% of what you used to make, then when a good job wants to pay you 75% of what you used to make, you might not take it. Because you are getting 80% of that and putting forth 0% of the effort...and it will last for 2 years (at one point in many states). You will probably keep the 60% and participate in black/gray-market activities.
I think the problem with a EULA is that it is typically a contract offer after the original contract is complete. You don't see the EULA until you install/run the application or at least open the box.
Huh? US Copyright is 125 years. It started at 50 years, but companies lengthened it dramatically.
I don't know how copyright comes into play here. They would have need to make an exact copy of the blocks. If they remade it themselves, it wouldn't be a copyright violation. Much like if I tried to paint a Jackson Pollock. Am I missing something?
You need the 3 digit "security code" for online purchases, so it wouldn't work online. And what do you do in person, just read them a credit card number?
I don't think you can do anything directly with the information, but it is one giant leap to having the information you need to do something...
Also, this is all to increase the ease of purchasing. The liability is all on the bank backing the credit card.
I worked for a company that managed power lines and has the data of every pole. There was no explicit secretive part to dealing with the data.
However, I do remember when hot weather and then overload eventually caused the blackout in Cleveland, which spread to Detroit, Buffalo, and NYC. The grid is quite fragile.
That is an administrative nightmare. You are drawing up exceptions to the freedom of another individual. Do you own the image/video of yourself and/or your property?
I understand that you would WANT it to be illegal for someone to watch your 5 yr old daughter swimming, but what about the freedom of someone else watching them? Do you draw the line with video cameras? The risk, because private property is everywhere, is that video cameras would then be illegal. Eventually, all technology would be illegal, because they could potentially record/tape someone one private property.
What about my memories of your private property? Do we have to have a neutralizer wipe them from my memory? The more lines you need to draw in the sand, the more lawyers, politicians, and lobbying you have to deal with. The more of that, the higher cost on society. All because you didn't put a roof over your pool.
What about someone's freedom to watch you real-time? You need to take appropriate measures to stop it by being on private property inside a building and away from windows. It is your responsibility to protect your privacy.
As mentioned in another window, wait for things like Google Glasses. Everything could be recorded everywhere. You can't make the glasses illegal. You can't make a law that says, "When technology is too good, it can't do this or that".
I really fail to see how this should be treated any different than someone flying 100 ft or 10,000 ft over your house and looking down. Just because the camera is insanely better than a human eye and it can be stored perpetually should be inconsequential. If you want progress, you can't legislate technology. This is like Google driving around on public roads to take pictures and collect WiFi info. Just because they did it on a large scale shouldn't make it illegal. These arbitrary lines drawn by government (or people simply requesting them) are crazy.
When you have a neighbor, you put up a fence. If someone looks over the fence, too bad for you; build it higher. If someone flies over the top, put a roof up.
Wait until we have contact lenses like the Google Glasses. These arbitrary lines are going to stop innovation. You won't be able to use it because it can process too much information, when it would probably revolutionize society.
A 3000 sq ft home on a $40k lot costs about $200k-$250k to build in central Ohio. I don't know where your numbers are coming from...
And to the GGP, prefab homes are all over the USA. You won't find them in big cities, but the country has a significant number of them. They aren't a good investment, as they are always the crappiest home in the area and fall apart far quicker.
He didn't say "just get rid of AC". He was wondering if you designed the shape of the room where it has a constant draft. That way, the heat is cycled out of the building and cool air is pulled in from the other side. If you had a sever room that was 10 feet wide and 200 feet long, you could have one heck of a wind tunnel effect.
The term "terrorist" is defined by the eye of the beholder. Even though it means something like "a person whose goal is to increase fear among a certain population". They'll use it instead of the real word they are looking for: treasonous. Because treason could be a Good Thing and terrorism can't.
US monetary and political support for Israel dwarfs all other countries combined. You follow up your argument that saying they hate us because we aren't them. So why don't they focus their attention on Switzerland? The Vatican? Canada?
We are the big fish in transgressions against their will. Whether their will should be tolerated or not is another story, but the transgressions are the cause, not just because we are free or we simply exist.

So everyone is confirming the gist of my post about the reluctance to take a job because of unemployment benefits, but this thread is a-ok?

Sometimes unemployment benefits, both the size and duration, are a better option than a good job at a good wage.
