... for a system test is to sent a Zombie Alert. People who take it seriously can just stay in their backyard bomb shelters. Good riddance. We won't be sending the 'All Clear'.
Straight electric resistance heating can be considered 100% efficient.
But that electricity has to be generated someplace. And even if a combined cycle thermal plant is 97% efficient (to match a modern gas furnace), you have to move that power some distance, incurring losses.
Are not treated fairly or consistently under US accounting rules when going public or in the event of an acquisition. So a startup might be better off avoiding that mess and then go public or be bought overseas.
For disclosing the financing behind a political ad? If I buy TV time or space on a billboard for a political ad, it's up to me to place some identifying information within the ad. The media owners may have no idea who is behind the advertisement. Because more often than not, the space in the media is purchased through an ad agency or other intermediary.
Now, if Seattle determines that some ad isn't within compliance of an election law, they can serve Facebook with a warrant to find out who pays for that account. But Facebook has no way of determining in advance to what use I am putting my pages. I might be using it to promote my favorite pizza place or microbrewery. It's not up to Facebook to track that in advance. They may not even have the expertise to evaluate ads for political content.
It would take years to build out sufficient prison capacity
Gov. Schwarzenegger declared overcrowding an emergency in 2006. The state did nothing. There are numerous unused military facilities that they could have put to use as minimum security prisons. Nope. Wouldn't do that either. The state had more than a decade to permanently solve the population problem. And they did nothing.
Time to put that shit hole state under martial law.
... unregulated or lightly regulated CDOs* are still a thing even after 2007. Why don't the regulators clean up the shit that has proven to be a disaster instead of pulling hypothetical risks out of their ass?
*Now referred to as bespoke securities so as to skirt around market valuation requirements.
We figure they were heads-down in the computer when they should have been doing management
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Some managers are better kept at arms length from the daily workings of the project. Spoon-feeding them status reports through PowerPoint keeps them out of the workers' hair.
Back when I worked at Boeing, we had a manager who was absolutely mesmerized by presentations with multiple fonts and colors. We just had to budget for a couple of interns to generate artsy pitch charts to keep him busy.
Uber started out as a ride sharing company. A way for people who were already on the road to give another person a lift. But the Uber drivers preferred to be cab company employees. With guaranteed hours, benefits, collective bargaining, etc.
So Uber just says, "Screw it. We're a cab company now. And we are out to maximize our revenue and eliminate competition. Just be thankful that this doesn't involve the competition floating in the East River."
Cameras use SD Cards. "Secure Digital". The standard already exists, so all that camera manufacturers need to do is to implement the protocols for entering a password.
Courts ordered California to bring prison population below 137.5% of design capacity. California did not add capacity to bring prison population below this mandated point. Their decision, their liability.
But now any of them that were not done in public, which is most, are in doubt.
I enjoy the sports and games that I play. And I might watch people better then me to pick up pointers. Or just because I appreciate the skill that goes into it, having played it myself. But fame based only on a high score? I may watch the Superbowl tomorrow (may, because it's not my favorite sport and I've never played). But I forgot who won last year.
Buy Bitcoin with a debit card. That's YOUR money (as opposed to CC funds loaned to you by some financial institution) and you can spend it as you please.
Do these titles have a lot of marketing value or command some stream of income? I mean, if they ever come to take away my record for being able to piss the farthest, I'm sure I'll still survive.
Also, you're probably going to be required to use a webcam.
You really don't want to see me working in my boxers. And if I really want to piss off fellow co-workers, I can arrange a teleconference with the background scenery being the deck of my yacht.

Well it's no wonder. Python is a racist language what with it's dependence on white space.
damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign
That describes pretty much all of Hollywood.

I hope Julian Assange is reading this.
Shhhh! You'll upset the true believers (time to re-write this joke).

California has deep pockets. This gamer was supposed to be in prison. But CA let him out early. So it's on them.
You damned well better not throw my tea into the Boston harbor!

With some people, seeing them makes laying them off just that much easier and enjoyable.
The voltage will be increased until the morale improves.
