The only way to reduce crime and restore human honor is stop fearing death.
Stop treating your life as your highest comodity. You will lose. 100% of you
What matters is _how_ you lived. Never give up a single penny for the fear of your life, the life of your mother or your child. Never give up to a terrorist that tells you "plata o plomo".
Eat the plomo, die with honor. Let him take the plata at the price of your life. That will mean that much more law enforcement will go after him and overall there will be much fewer apes trying to rob you.
There are people around the world that live like that.
"Cyclists" create traffic jams on a regular basis just by mere crawling on the lane that normally is moving at 40 mph.
Since most of the cyclists are well-to-do politically active leftist yuppies this tiny minority of population force the laws like ("cars must be three feet away from the bicycle"). As a result, mere passing by a cyclist becomes illegal.
And that universal answer: "I have a right..." No, you do not have a right to impede traffic, dumbass.
I respect Guatemalan cyclists - I do not respect their illegal status in the country, but I respect that they cycle out of real necessity: they do not have money either for a car or for "public" transportation that cost almost as much as owning a car.
The solution is NOT building bike lanes. The solution is creating more diverse systems of public transportation (in my area all that we have is giant empty buses).
Why is it that in vast majority of countries public microbus transportation is private and profitable except developed countries?
Nobody wants to ride a bus with a foul mouthed teenagers.
Google offers correct solution for their workers: company based public transportation that guarantees that your fellow riders make six figures and less likely to engage in anti-social behavior on public transportation. No wonder, leftist imbeciles attack this mode on a regular basis.
100 or so years ago one of the first economic crises of overproduction characterized as such hit Europe.
Instead of selling their farm stock cheap farmers chose to destroy their products. Giving stuff away costs distribution money, destroying them costs less.
I remember I had really high hopes only to be utterly disappointed. There was no real insight into prokaryotic science from the effects of such long ecosystem separation.
I again have really high hopes with this one. Mercer Lake does not even have a bloody Wiki page. [RAGE].
I predict that I will be utterly disappointed.
Lake Vostok isolation time:
The overlying ice provides a continuous paleoclimatic record of 400,000 years, although the lake water itself may have been isolated for 15[7][8] to 25 million years
Mercer Lake information:
Lake Mercer was first detected via satellite more than a decade ago, but it's never been explored by humans. The subglacial lake measures about 62 square miles (160 square kilometers ) in size, which is over twice the size of Manhattan. But it's not very deep—just 30 to 50 feet (10 to 15 meters) at its deepest points.
Lake Vostok is much larger:
Measuring 250 km (160 mi) long by 50 km (30 mi) wide at its widest point[1], it covers an area of 12,500 km2 (4,830 sq mi) making it the 16th largest lake by surface area. With an average depth of 432 m (1,417 ft), it has an estimated volume of 5,400 km3 (1,300 cu mi).[2] making it the 6th largest lake by volume.
No, healthy skepticism is. UBI is wrong for a very simple idea: it's simplistic.
UBI is a stupid stupid stupid idea.
The solution to inevitable new class of useless humans is to create an environment where humans can compete in something useless for their well being. We are already doing a lot of useless crap like entertainment to each other: pet manicurists, restaurant critics, etc. This class will blow up tremendously with the advent of automated menial work.
And we will need to create a lot more jobs that will serve the only class that mattesr: high level STEM professionals.
I have lived for 30 years in a country with essential UBI: you can slack on your work without getting fired and still get a salary.
Sure there were differences but the result was the same - vast masses of people receiving essential the same income.
When salaries of lower level college tutors were around 120, bus drivers around 200-300, Polutburo members were getting 800/month. That was the official disparity: not even one order of magnitude. Of course, nomenklatura was getting tons of perks but they did not amount to much. All the houses of nomenklatura were pretty modest by modern rich man standards.
That did not work. Lack of monetary motivation resulted in drastic reduction of productivity of the whole nation and long blood-sucking economic crisis that ended up with the dissolution of the whole Second World.
End of story. Anyone peddling simplistic ideas like UBI or flat tax (on the other end of the spectrum) is an imbecile of the highest degrees. All the mellechons, bernies, ron pauls are irresponsible degenerates who need to be executed at the spot, or at least, banned in any media, social or mainstream.
Experiments on limited pop carry no sense. They are bound to have zero effect on overall inflation, for example.
You can't experiment with UBI. I do not even understand why people came up even with an idea of such experiments. Did people "experiment" in this way with minimum salary? Or with various programs?
What is wrong with good old unemployment benefits? Why do we need to pay extra money to people who already are capable to earn the money?
Is it one of the imbecile modern ideas that you can "simplify" regulation of such a complex organism as modern human society? By paying flat rate anyway.
If you are worried that people are not getting elementary necessities, give them these necessities eliminating a middle man - money.
If people are in need of housing - give them free housing, not the option to make terrible decision with the universal equivalent.
If something is minimal and obligatory, why do you give people an option of waste the money earmarked for buying it?
That's what minimum is. Enough food, housing, clothes for everyone, not the monetary equivalent of that.
If people are trading their free food, free housing or free clothes for something else, then, you guess correctly, it's not a necessity then. It's their choice.
The only reason why people need to be given money is plain vanilla simple - so they do not jilet jaune the whole society to the ground.
That's how civilization dealt with lazzaroni since Romans.
>Corporations are no longer stewards of society in general
Never have been, never should have been, never will. That's not they are for. They have ALWAYS been looking ONLY for the interests of shareholders, when there was one "shareholder" or millions of shareholders.
>You can't have powerful agents (i.e. corporations) act as sociopaths
They are not human. Of course they act inhumanely.

You do not have to live like sheep.
No.
The place is clean when it is being cleaned on a regular basis.
Said that. Nothing bad will happen to parks if they are not cleaned for months.
You are a sociopathic imbecile
They honk at you because you are in the way, dumbass moron.

>Plus the park brake isn’t set
You daft.
Do they have enough juice to tow the truck if they came to the station to re-charge? Or they just tow it 100m and leave it in the middle of the road?
Otherwise: this is the most exhilarating news I have seen in a week :-)
(heart) Tesla
No information how the situation was resolved.
Call the police, tow the trucks?
As for somebody yelling on your on the road: this is pretty much what road is for: for rage.

The trend is visible. After peaking in 2014 it steadily goes down.
Biking to work is a stupid yuppie elitist idea. Should have died in the 1980s with flock of seagull haircuts.
What do his religious beliefs have to do with his expertise in the subject?
Yes
Excellent rebuttal! :-)
Of course I know very little about what kinda GPU are used.
Steve Job was one of the best minds in history of technology. His marketing sense was top notch.
Your bringing him is absurd.

Leftist is a wrong choice of words. It's marxist.
Despite that, the critic is valuable. A single person can very easily drive the company into the ground.
Tim Cook of Apple, Lorraine Williams of TSR.
From the other hand, there are, of course, objective factors that require extra-ordinary individuals in leadership to adequately response to them.
There is an issue of smartphone market saturation, there was an issue of computer games replacing board games.
All of this important. Objective factors and trends and humans that must make important decisions on how to react to them.
>C4 overcomes the tendency of the enzyme RuBisCO
Ah. RuBisCo fold. Brings back the memories from the 90s
The people in government should be fined personally for pulling this putinshit against him. Heads need to roll.
This. I realized this immediately after I read about this on Reddit.
These sonofabitches need to be fired or impeached.
It's much easier to do personal accounting when you deal only with plastic.

Definitely not enough time to make the conclusions you are making

>"Late-stage capitalism" or whatever you want to call it is about squeezing every single drop of productivity out of an already-stretched system
That's bullshit. System was more stretched in the past. Never in American history Americans for hire have been living in better conditions than now.
System have been "stretched" in other ways for 100 years already: it's consumer-driven economy.
The never-ending crisis of over-production, that's what it is called, not "late-stage" capitalism.
The workers in Bangladesh live better than before and they live better than the workers that do not work for Tom Hillfiger.
