If you have complaints about the way climate science is evaluated, you will have to be more specific than this.
I first heard of Johnstone and Mantua's study on NPR. The overarching response from other climate scientists was 'This is wrong since it doesn't support current dogma'. Not 'Gee, we had better look at adding wind data to our ocean temperature models'.
That something as critical as wind velocities effect on ocean evaporation and heat transfer have not been considered suggests to me that these climate models are nowhere near complete enough to provide any useful predictions.
Instead visitors to emmayouarenext.com were pointed to a marketing company's homepage, its black background bearing a crossed-out version of 4chan's four-leaf clover logo, and the hashtag #shutdown4chan written in large white letters. The site was a hoax, designed to draw as many eyes as possible not to actual pictures of Watson but to an apparent campaign set up to attack 4chan.
Wow! IANAL, but I'd think that anyone intentionally trying to shut down another business could be guilty of restraint of trade, various competition law violations like the Sherman Antitrust law.
I guess when they get shut down and assets liquidated to cover fines, legal costs and damage awards, moot is going to get some new server hardware to host more image boards.
The refund system has to deal with people who do not have bank accounts. The most popular fund transfer method used by the 'unbanked' (and the fraudsters) is to have the refund creditied to a prepaid debit card. Available anonymously at many locations. Just give the IRS the card number to credit. Once the money is put on the card, it is run down to zero at the local WalMart or strip club and discarded before the fraud is discovered.
It'll slow things down a bit when there's a problem,
Can't do that. People out there depend on that money to feed their children. Delay it more than absolutely necessary and bleeding heart photos of hungry crumb-crunchers will appear in the media.
That's good for you. Not so much for stopping the fraud.
Fraudsters submit fake returns, claiming the IRS owes overpaid taxed back. The IRS is required to cut a check promptly, before they can verify the return. By the time they do, the money is gone.
The thing is, the information will either lead to nothing, and be assumed to be lies, or lead to something, which will be assumed to be the truth,
And that's where the difference lies. In the case of real intelligence*, there will be corroborating evidence. Or if it turns out to be lies, not. The police are only concerned with getting a confession. Then its case closed. Unless some years later the Innocence Project files an appeal. Which doesn't happen enough to be statistically significant (although politically so, for high visibility cases) from a quality control point of view.
*If your mission is to find WMD and they turn out not to exist, your intelligence was flawed. If it was to take out someone with a drone, then mission accomplished. Even if that poor sucker happens to be nothing more than the political rival of your informant.
Notice throughout how the techniques approaches with the assumption of guilt and proceedes accordingly. It should be of no shock that many innocent people will make false confessions confronted with an officer using.
There's a subtle difference between police eliciting a confession and the CIA interrogating a captive. In the first case, the goal is an admission of guilt. Collecting information is secondary. In the latter case, its the information that is of primary importance. Most of the detainees in GITMO may be ready to admit that they are enemy combatants. But they won't spill the beans on their comrades. Or they'll give false information.
I don't think you want that. The property of an H1-B worker that is most attractive to industry is the ability to throw them out of the country should they get uppity and start asking for raises.
It has nothing to do with public safety, it has everything to do with corporate secrecy.
Yeah, but you aren't going to get that much sympathy for defending your right to spy on studio lots. Corporate secrecy is a bad thing when it conceals illegal waste dumping, logging, environmental hazards, etc. But if you get all butthurt over not getting snaps of your favorite plywood spacheship, people will fail to give a shit in pretty short order.
Its a valuable right. Don't go fucking it up for everyone.
Each statue defines 'US Person' differently. Some are far reaching and define it to be anyone resident or doing business in the USA. Others have a more restricted definition. For the purpose of ITAR, for example, you can become a non US Person simply by being an employee of a foreign company. Even if you are a US citizen and reside within the USA.
So, become an employee of a Cayman Islands corporation and create all your data as work product of that company. Store it offshore and any warrant will have to be served against the property of that company, not you.

It's back to the drawing board, folks.

Cool!
What we have here is the worlds biggest and baddest bug zapper.
have a good career as a climate scientist.
But one has to be ordained as a climate scientist first. Not many of their seminaries are going to graduate non-believers.
It's a fscking bottleneck. Too many times, an otherwise useful page stalls trying to load something from jquery.com.
Is the refund going to the same bank account
