I think a set of very pro-Constitution Justices is the only long-term hope for the US.
I think the only real hope is a very pro-constitution populace. That is about educating the masses... where things look bleak. For example: Slashdot is chock-full of young retards that don't understand freedom and sing the praises of communism.
I learned from living in Texas that the plural of "you" is not "y'all". The proper way to address a group is "all y'all". The people that don't get that right are not from Texas.
Actually, saying "all y'all" is incorrect, and the rest of the South laughs at Texas for getting it so wrong.
Good audio converters are 24 bit these days. That means you can have 20bits worth of dynamic range (~120dB) with 4 bits worth of clipping headroom (24dB). That will exceed whatever is plugged into the A/D.
High end cameras are using 14bit converters (uber high end has hit 16), so the problem is pretty much solved there too.
What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers land."
Well,... that is a pretty damning statement about how we have too many federal laws and regulations. besides, Trump doesn't have to change the law, just be selective about enforcement. right?
An article talking about Russia trying to influence American politics, but not mentioning George Soros or foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation... That is propaganda.
Actually, Obama didn't sign for the US, he just gave his personal word (which won't be worth much when he leaves office). In order to sign for and obligate the US, Obama first must seek the advice and consent of the senate. I think Trump would be wise to submit the Paris Treaty to the senate for approval in his first months in office. I suspect the Senate will reject it.
well... if you are a US citizen, then you are a citizen with no second class caveat. Since you would be visiting, you aren't a citizen at all, so no caveat needed.
There is nothing inherently wrong about being picky about who you let immigrate (or visit).
The Navy originally projected that they would buy thousands of rounds (to outfit 28 ships). Then they cut the order because they decided to only make 3 ships. Well, you have a large fixed development cost. The "per missile" cost = (DevCost + RealPerMissileCost)/N naturally, when N goes down by a factor of 10, then the "per missile" cost will go up by nearly a factor of 10. that just tells you that you can't look at it as a "per missile" cost.
This sounds like a complete screw up from the Navy; not at all clear how much of a screw up by the contractor.
I think we can all agree that Trump is a buffoon, but that doesn't worry me since he will be kept on a short leash. If he tries to overstep his presidential authority he would be impeached with a quickness ( many Republicans would be happy to cast that vote ).
Hillary on the other hand is dangerous because she is so corrupt. She has been living in a world of lies for longer than most of us have been alive.
Government corruption is a very real threat to this country. Once it becomes accepted and commonplace it can be very difficult to root out. In many places in the world government corruption is the norm; almost a way of life. The only check we have on corruption in the executive branch is impeachment, and I am afraid that Hillary will be just as unimpeachable as Obama.
Ireland made a tax deal with Apple allowing them to pay lower taxes, in order to encourage them to locate certain business in Ireland rather than elsewhere.
The problem is, that Ireland has a treaty with the EU saying it wouldn't give such tax breaks.
So it looks like Ireland broke their agreement with the EU, and the EU is maybe right to enforce the punishments specified by the treaty.
Apple is not party to the Ireland-EU taxing agreement, and should not be included in any EU punishment against Ireland for breaking treaty.
In fact, it is not clear that this ruling should let Ireland off the hook for sticking to the Tax agreements it has made with Apple going forward.
You say that under international law there are three ways for the USofA to be bound to an agreement.
Maybe...Maybe... But under United States law, there is only one way for the USofA to be bound to an international agreement (the 2/3 senate + President).
So, the president signed a piece of paper saying we are bound to the agreement even though we in fact are not bound in any sense (and future presidents should feel no obligation whatsoever to recognize that piece of paper and whatever it said)... It seems like the president is sabotaging our relationships with allies and competitors alike by misleading them.
Obama is lying to the world, The United States has not ratified the Paris agreement.
We have a constitutionally defined process to ratify any international agreement (i.e. a treaty), which has not happened.
Although Obama may have extended his personal promise, the United States of America has not.
I think a few Senators should point this out to the rest of the world, so that they are not tricked into expecting that we are honor bound to this agreement.
I think it is very evil to try to trick people into thinking you have promised something that you have not actually promised... that is really kind of worse than breaking a promise you did actually make.
If Obama wants the United States of America to actually enter into this agreement, he knows what he has to do to make that happen.
UBI is a recipe for disaster unless...
Accepting the UBI means you give up the right to vote in state and federal elections for 4 years.
That is the only way it can be self regulating...
without that critical detail, it would clearly ruin the country...
Every politician would promise an increase in the UBI in an effort to buy votes.
But if accepting the UBI means giving up your right to vote, it would be self-limiting and might actually be a good thing.
A lightbulb works because the filiment gets really hot and glows with blackbody radiation. All of the electric power that goes into the bulb is radiated. So in some sense, the incandecent bulb is already 100% effecient. the only problem is that most of the radiated energy is at infrared frequencies and doesn't do anything to light the room for human eyes. If you increase the emmisivity of the filiment to 100%, it is not obvious that you increase the effeciency of the bulb one iota. In fact, I would guess that the effeciency of the bulb goes down, since the filiment temperature will go down (since you radiate more power at a given temperature) and more of the radiation will be in the IR. Now, if he can change the surface of the filiment so the emmisivity is very high in the visable but very low in the IR, then and only then will he be onto something.

Just keep a tiny address book in your wallet.
Any important passwords you keep there.
The unimportant stuff can use a common password.

you are right. should have said "per missile" cost = DevCost/N + RealPerMissileCost.
Complete poster screw up... can only plead that it was 6:30 am.

That's exactly why they keep changing it... to make it easier to rig.

I guess what I'm asking is what rules, if any, prevent that (absurd) example from being actually illegal?
