We've all been through it - can't get a cab. It's sometime AM, you need a cab and the driver refuses to take you. From my understanding of 'Common Carrier' law it is illegal for them to refuse a fare, just as much as it is illegal for Uber to operate.
Taxi operations are used to having all of the power and now that Uber has come along (despite some minor reservations I have with the service) I'm glad they are kicking the Taxi industries ass. I've noticed that now Taxis have improved their service because Uber is here.
I suspect that once Uber is gone - Taxi services will become much worse. If Uber is going to be banned then I would like to see the penalties for the Taxi industry increase because if they did what they were supposed to do, then Uber would not exist.
IIRC these boxes were sold to us on the grounds that if we are paying for the services then we don't have commercials on them. Essentially we are paying to watch advertisements. Personally, I rarely watch TV anymore, I just can't stand watching commercials.
You've said some really interesting things there but here is the kicker (excuse the ph on et ix):
The governments must bail them out.
The gov'ts *must bail out the banks who are in debt to the federel riserve. Now to do that the gov't must borrow from the feral resivour to bail out the TBTFs which introduces the need for quantamtative easying, which reduces the value of the tax dollars and the capacity of the government to pay back the money that they loaned from the fr, to give to the banks, so that they can pay back the FR. Isn't the FuR a privately owned bank?
Now that's genius if I've ever seen it, whoever worked out that game.
It is not a bug there is no techie in the board. It is by design. They need diabolical monsters from the comic book super villains in the board, not techies.
It makes you wonder who owns this whole game. We know they dumb us down, we can;t do anything, we know they lie through an owned media, we're helpless, we know they spy on us, tough shit, they violate the constitution of many nations, we just have to deal with it, we know the environment is fucked, at least the worst we will suffer is not knowing future generations think of us as dithering cowards.
I think at least two US Presidents fought against this ecomonic control of the American people the last being Kennidy with exec order 111onezero to abolish the FR, I think it was about 2 weeks before he was shot by a Secreted Server oficer 'accidentally' from one of the escort cars. People say these men are great but stop when it comes to explaining why. No president has attempted it since and WW, who was inauguraped after, stopped the bill befor eit became law.
At least from my understanding of American history, this is symptomatic of the things Franklin fought tooth and nail to stop from happening when he saw its potential, hundreds of years ago when the constitution passed - 'with all it's flaws' and it would work 'for a time'. You don't want really smart people in established positions of power anywhere they can influence the comfortable, scared, complacent interest rape slaves or interfering with white collar crime. It is diabolical in every sense of the word.
You don't have smart people even vaguely close to positons of power in private industry or government because they're always trying to 'fix' things.
That's actually okay and they won't do anything to prevent people from creating those replicas. It's only when someone decide to go into business creating and selling replicas that they'll take legal action to stop it.
I wonder what happens if instead of them selling it, they are asked and paid to build one instead.
There are *several* formulas to do an estimate and several more to tell you if your estimates are on track.
If you understand why estimates are required, you are a business person, if you understand why they are so difficult you are a developer. Managing estimates is a 'Project Management' task and a good PM will keep the pressure of the team by also managing the stakeholder expectations, which is what we are really talking about here.
Complex estimates are closer to the contract and simple task estimates are closer to the metal. If anyone asks for an 'accurate estimate', run - they are an oxymoron who won't de-scope so that deliverables are met. To me it is an immediate sign of project failure.
Estimates are just a tool that are a balancing act for getting the budget required to do something. Good estimates are achievable by iterating three simple questions pessimistic, realistic and optimistic estimation for a smaller task of a large project. After that there are several other formula to determine if you are ahead, behind or on schedule. Ahead or on schedule - great, behind - de-scope. What the final product looks like is a function of the contract that determines the critical path and managing the expectations to get there. Estimations on a small project however are usually a waste of time.
The last thing you want to do is go back to an accounting department or client for more budget because the estimates are way off anymore than having no estimate at all and asking for a big bucket of money that won't get approved and no developers will ever get employed to do that project.
Using 120 characters to discuss such a complex subject, that can't possibly hope to encapsulate the arguments required to understand it, is pointless.
The thing I see with the API sales landscape today is that it is being sold as a 'business solution' that only a developer can understand.
The nightmare comes when you try to figure out which of your api vendors have brought your application down and you are left carrying the can because a problem with the billing system left you with only 100,000 API calls instead of the 1000,000 you expected. Still, it could be fun having the accounts dept on call to respond to outages.
Yes - touch screen displays are inevitable and they are just getting ready for that.
The thing I find though is that when screens are touched they get finger marks on them and that interferes with the display quality making odd fuzzy parts to text and code. For some I think the whole touch screen revolution will live and die on people's attitude towards that.
I've used it to clean rust of metal. I thought it was a myth until I tried it and it work much better than I had expected. It's also a great grease remover!
Well of course - it's acidic.
Other things that will clean rust off metal: freshly squeezed orange juice, vinegar, tomato ketchup.
I soaked some pretty rusty suspension towers in coke and got great results. I have tried vinegar and it wasn't as effective. The pulp in the orange juice made the (smaller) sample part quite messy and it also wasn't as effective. I had high hopes for the tomato sauce (because I could smear it on and use less) however it evaporated too much and became gunk on the part.
Coke however was pretty much perfect and it washed right off. It's phosphoric acid, from my understanding however I think it is the carbonated nature of the drink that keeps things moving perhaps creating a larger surface area. The rust turns into a black sludge.
I noticed that ants did not go for the coke at all - which pretty much says it all.
I don't need a multi million dollar study to determine that if you have factory ships taking out all of the fish from the local region then you are going to get more shark attacks as they look closer to shore for food.
I've used it to clean rust of metal. I thought it was a myth until I tried it and it work much better than I had expected. It's also a great grease remover!
As for drinking it, blech - I can't understand how people can drink all this sugary shit and wonder why their health is slowly deteriorating.
It's just another negative externality from the corporate pirates raiding society of all it's value.
Do you seriously think they don't measure the chemical properties of the water they're bottling as it is?
I think they take a sample at some interval and base everything on that. Do you think they examine every bottle and print a custom label for every one of the hundreds of millions of units they ship?
Adding a step in that process, a step that is simpler and easier to measure than other properties they are already measuring is cheap and easy.
Unless every unit is examined, as opposed to a sample quantity, then it is useless. Specifically we are talking about how detecting a radionuclide, like 239pu, in the microgram range, in a moderator of radioactivity at industrial packaging rates would be close to impossible. I also think the machine that could do that, the training to operate it and the disruption it would cause to the industrial process would add huge amounts of costs to the foodstuffs.
However, it's interesting what you say and if you can show me that such a machine that is available to industry now then I'd be able to see that it is possible. Right now it sounds idealistic.
When it comes to the consumer, measuring radioactivity is of course fraught with problems, But most of those problems are problems of false alarms, i.e. thinking foodstuff is contaminated that really isn't. So that's not a safety concern as such, more of a nuisance. If you want to do it as a consumer it would be completely possible (if a bit over the top).
My point is the threshold where you need to do it so you don't get some cancer. Why should we *need* to do this just to have nuclear power.
Compare that with biological or chemical contaminants where it would be completely impractical, that is, impossible to do anything worthwhile when the food is already on your plate. Much, much, more difficult to detect and classify. You have to basically perform a different cumbersome test for each and every contaminant you're looking for. Tests that would take days in the case of biological contaminants.
I don't understand. Are you saying that because biological contaminants already exist in food then it's ok to increase the radiological load?
In the case of radioactive contamination it really is (more or less) as easy as "waving a Geiger counter" over the plate. And a good calibrated Geiger counter can be had for less than a common smartphone...
It might be a rather amusing way to freak out other dining companions. Imagine your meals hitting the table, you pop out the gc and say, 'Let me just check my meal for radionuclides so I don't get cancer....No, I'll be fine' as you put it away. I think I would die laughing at the looks on everyone's face secretly wanting to check there own just to be sure. I might do it next time I go for sushi for a laugh.
There's even historical precedent. What did you think we did in Sweden past Chernobyl? Yes, it caught us by surprise, the initial detection being made by a nuclear power plant in the eastern parts, but "fool me twice" and all that. We're continuously monitoring the air from the east for radiological contamination, and the food supply chain was checked both overall and individually when that was warranted, with recommendations for which foodstuffs to avoid and where to get game meat from e.g. moose tested.
I don't doubt what you say (Is Moose good to eat?) but when governments fuck up or get caught un-aware they tend to lie to keep people calm. I'm certain that Sweden is probably one of the better quality governments out there, however I also have zero doubt that the political party of the day would use the opportunity to lie and gain good will with the people.
As large scale contamination goes, this one was easy compared to all the other crap that falls from the sky.
Attacking this woman's looks or anything else before actually understanding exactly what her argument is kinda shows off a bit of a insecure beta male mentality
Actually, the beta male mentality would be agreeing with her without reading the article in hopes of trying to get in her pants.
or get on an internet forum whining that someone wants to stop them from fucking a robot.
The 6th amendment was obliterated by the anti democrac^h^h^h^htewworism laws: 6th: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
And 8th amendment violations occur even before a trial 8th: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
So with all the vows of defending against domestic enemies, who actually *is* defending the American Constitution against *its* enemies? Furthermore, if the laws passed to suppress democracy to "defend against terrorism" are against the constitution, how can they be legal or even enforceable?
I hope the reminder is welcome because as far as I can see tewworists don't pass laws and something very precious is being lost to ignorance.
My understanding of the package of laws designed to 'defend' against ter ror ism is they have essentially nullified due process in America and a good portion, if not all of the Bill of rights under the constitution have been wound back by the passage of these bills. So who's defending the Constitution against the domestic enemies that seeks to take America over from the inside?
W.Bush passed the laws however Obama hasn't restored due process, so one can only conclude that the American government is no longer controlled by the American people. This is not a political issue any more, it a democratic one of why aren't the people in control anymore? It should be at the top of the list and front page news but it isn't even being talked about. I *wish* our country had the same rights as American citizens however it seems to be that the apathy over what should be the *most* important issue has been glazed over by ignorance and nationalism described as patriotism.
People died for what you have, but no one seems to care. The really cool thing about America was that it was a mercantile nation open for business, not that she is the worlds police.
There is little hope of pleading the first with a media so controlled. 1st: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. How many times do you see protesters being told to move along when they do?
I only have to look at youtube to see blatant and regular violations of the 4 and 5th
4th: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause
5th: nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
6th amendment was obilt
8th amendment violations occur even before a trial
I'm referring to radionuclide contamination as a result of these releases that are difficult to detect in the food chain or as inhalants, as opposed to localized emitted radiation.
There is no such thing as a radionuclide that's difficult to detect.
In a lab certainly, it's a whole lot different for a vegetable packer or a water bottling plant or a consumer with a meal in front of them. It would look kind of silly waving a geiger counter over a plate of spaghetti - is that what you are proposing?
Or rather, there's no such thing as an active radionuclide that's difficult to detect. We can accurately measure every single decay, and from a distance to boot. The ones that are more difficult to detect are the ones which very long half-lives, and in that case their danger comes from their chemical properties anyway, not their radiological properties.
That's great however I don't think that it is practical for farmers to do this.
What does it matter. The kid is a little geek, all of us have been. Even if he just took apart a clock and put it back in a box, that's a good attempt to build confidence. He didn't choose to have police come to school and he didn't choose to get invited to the White House. He was just playing and making a project.
This is it, this is the moment this whole security theatre turned from ridiculous to ridiculously stupid, again.
That is can't hold a conscious being in it. I think the information about how many neurons are in other tissue, like heart or even digestive system will have a bearing on how 'self' is defined, one day.

Oh and now it looks like they're throwing in extra privacy-invasion technology.
So I have to ask again: what exactly am I paying for?
This is what you are paying for.
