Salman Khan has done rather well considering he didn't get a degree in 'education'. The ability to teach has little to do with the teaching credentials that our education system demands. It's comunication, coaching and mentoring skills. The whole certification industry only serves to maintain scarcity and keep union teachers' wages and tuitions artificially high.
In the very long term, the burden is likely to be shifted in part to
labor, if the corporate tax dampens capital accumulation.
Labor doesn't pay taxes either. Take more out of my paycheck and I'll buy less of your (corporate) junk.
It's silly to think of someone or something paying taxes. Its all a cycle and taxes represent a drag or inefficiency in the transfer of funds no matter where they are applied. Common sense (and equity) demands that we spread the tax burden across as many transfer events as possible. That means personal as well as corporate income taxes.
The point that many people are missing about this 'Obama Tax' is that it appears to be a federal tax on wealth, not transfers. And that is problematic. State and local governments have various forms of wealth taxes (property), but the feds do not. Even inheritance and capital gains taxes are triggered by transfer events. This makes the proposed tax a disturbing precedent.
Then the trick is to make the door and lobby out of high strength glass. Let them push the button to get in. But lock the door if tampering is detected and send an alarm to the police. Perps delivered, all sealed in a nice box.
A fan and a vent pipe routed to a safe location. You suck the gas out faster then they can blow it in. Add a pilot light to the top of the vent and burn off the combustible gas. A visible gas flare above the bank should discourage the crooks from sticking around.
... we would hear countless press releases from law enforcement to the effect that "Yet anonther Bad Guy was caught. And his phone/tablet/PC was secured with Evil Encryption." But we don't. So I'm calling Bullshit.
So I just don't answer the home phone any more unless I recognize the number.
Same here. My home phone is generally used for outgoing calls like emergencies and where I want someone like a bank to recognize me (look up customer acount databased on my incoming number).
But here's an interesting thing I noticed lately: I may make one or two calls a week from my home number. And I get very few robocalls (having kept my number out of most marketing databases). But these robocalls all seem to come in within a few seconds of my having hung up from a legitimate call. I'm wondering if my phone company isn't offering some sort of service to these robots to signal when I'm near my phone, having just made or taken another call.
If the phone company is in the pocket of the telemarketers and actively assisting them, we are going to have a difficult time getting around their number spoofing and other trickery.
Brought to you by the teachers' unions. Your kids are morons. We can't teach them. So no fair blaming us if they can't pass achievement tests. Just give us the raises for warehousing your brats and shut the hell up. And also parents of Bubba The Moron. My boy shouldn't be ranked against his peers. While everyone else is studying, he is winning football trophys for the school. So he deserves the same diploma as all the other kids, with no adverse grades attached.
Most of the rest of the world has figured this out already. Take the high achievers and move them into the fast track. Take the low achievers and send them to trade school. But Bubba doesn't want a diploma from Knuckle Draggers Acadamy when he has to go out and compete in the job market. And no teacher wants to teach there.
And who funds these various parties? Taking on a for-profit entity that scoops up public domain IP and then chases you off of it isn't going to be cheap.
Defending IP isn't like real property. Where a simple call to the police that your clapped out Honda has been stolen will mobilize police forces willing to expend many times its value and put the general public at risk chasing it down.
Let me know when I can call 911 to report my photos stolen and expect an armed response.
The group is calling on volunteers to help with the ongoing work, which has been divided into three steps. The first is about collecting "all the factual information,"

This.
Nobody suspends a preacher who tells little kids that they will spend eternity in some imaginary hot place if they don't do as he says.
Yup.
And this is about as good as its going to get, since we don't know the exact initial conditions (temp. and relative humidity).
Go in an sieze the friggin funds
Now, now Fidel. Calm down. You're retired now and there's a Canasta tournment this afternoon in the day room.
A non-profit does not necessarily have to increasing its assets of bank balance year after year,
Counter example: churches.

Its 100 million people who who need exercise watching 22 guys who don't*.
*Then again .....
Don't mind me. I'm just here so I won't get fined.
Just what sort of drug are we talking about here?
Shove giant corks in all volcanos.
however, the economies of scale due to the US population density distribution
So, let the rural municipalities install broadband.
"No, no! Muh competition!"
Then shut the fuck up.

You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off
When I pass, it is because I fart
Yeah. But the rest of us are dying.
And if you do it anyway, expect 120 xeyes windows to pop up pretty soon.
xroach FTW!

I was thinking Boeing. But as they were not on fire, you could be correct.
They will have to get closer to the bad guys. I predict we will see more close access work.
It beats running a drag net on the entire Internet just to see who you can catch doing whatever.
Various parties may apply various laws

So how will we know the difference between the Anon. warriors for justice and any other paedophile collecting material?
