I had to get halfway through TFA before I realized that they weren't talking about Richmond, British Columbia. Or Richmond California, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio or Oregon.
Who knew there was a town called Richmond in Virginia?
If you get rid of all the unskilled labor jobs everywhere, what are those people going to do?
Learn a skill? UBI is a long way off (if ever). So stop waiting for it.
The reason that the higher paid workers tend to make more than the lower is that their work is more varied and not as easily scheduled as that of the low skilled workers. Jobs filling boxes are easy to plan. Fixing broken robots needs to be done 24x7 by on-call workers. So they make the big bucks.
Six months down the road, my credit goes to shit because of the hackers. And TrustID proves to be useless. Where did I indicate that I applied for it specifically because of this incident? Absent that, standard TOS will apply. We can't even get a straight answer as to whether we are or are not a part of the affected group (the subject of this thread).
Again, we haven't had landfall of two Cat 4 storms in 100 years
Landfall isn't really the correct metric. What is the frequency of cat 4 or cat 5 hurricanes, regardless of where they happen to go? A hurricane or typhoon that expends itself over the ocean or a relatively unpopulated area just doesn't make big news.
Because they are fuck-ups and don't deserve my business. There's nothing I can do about information that is already out there. But I can discourage banks and other lenders from taking my business to Equifax by never granting an unlock request for credit through them.
According to my sources, a condition for enrolling is giving up your right to participate in a class action suit against Equifax. At least, read the fine print before signing up.
Personally, I'd just lock my credit records with Equifax. Leave them open with the other agencies, so lenders can still approve loans. Just not with Equifax.
Many gays adopt certain dress styles and behaviors as a matter of self preservation (not getting the shit beat out of them for making passes at the 'wrong' person). From TFA:
The Stanford University researchers found that gay men and women typically had "gender-atypical" features and expressions. While a person's "grooming style" also factored in to the computer algorithm, essentially suggesting gay women appeared more masculine and vice versa.
It really isn't inconceivable that AI could be trained to recognize these features.
... differs from most professional conferences exactly how? What you need to watch is who gets sent to these. Most of the successful outfits send expendable people. That way, if a competitor hires them away, figuring that they are key personnel, you can get them off your books and come out ahead.
Problems arose when the definition of species was given status as part of law. You can draw the lines anywhere you want scientifically. Either a continuum or a bunch of discrete lumps will do, depending on the questions asked. But when it became politically expedient to give a local gopher family it's own classification to stop a shopping center from being built, biologists just sold their souls to the devil.
Nuclear marine propulsion is so horribly expensive
Not really. The NS Savannah wasn't cost competitive with oil. But it was a demonstration project and was decommissioned two years before the Arab oil embargo. Had it hung on for another two years, it would have competed effectively on fuel costs*.
You see, marine reactor fuel is highly enriched
Not necessarily. The Savannah ran with commercial-grade (power plant) fuel.
*But not operating costs. Because it was designed before containerized cargo and automated loading became a thing, it's labor costs (loading/unloading) were still high.
Automobile design and performance standards are pretty much set at the federal level anyway. A few states (California, for example) have stricter emissions standards. But it's time to put a stop to that B.S.
I can take practically any vehicle legally operable in one state and drive it across the border into another anyway. So state by state laws really don't accomplish much other than to protect local market channels.
Slashdot Mirror
Wood gas vehicles when? I hear they are pretty popular in Best Korea. Perhaps there is an opportunity for some technology interchange there.

I think you can see the problem.
Yes, I can. Now please stand aside while we unload another boatload of H-1B workers.

Fine. There are other banks.

why do you only worry about locking Equifax?

not the un-sentient amorphous goo that makes it work
Are you referring to the jelly in the donuts that cops eat? Because I don't think that makes them work any better.

Which side is earring on? Left is right and right is wrong.
1) Freeze all three agencies
Or just freeze Equifax. If enough people do this, banks and lenders will have to take their business elsewhere.

So what is this critter classified as . . . ?
That's classified.
Turn the case over to the (state) licensing authority with jurisdiction. Practicing law without a license. Possible criminal penalties.

Do you mean like this?

What's so confusing about this?
