But heaven forbid a Russian conservative buy an ad.
You know it's illegal for a foreign national to buy campaign ads in the US, right? Has been for a while now. For 45 years, to be exact. FECA was signed into law in 1972, by Richard M. Nixon.
Certain buzzwords, like "milestones" and "mentoring" just bring me back to the bad old days when I had to work for a living. Those words are as good as any others, I guess, and I'm sure you're really good at what you do. I'll bet you have a high level of core competency and are able to adapt to shifting paradigms, thereby meeting strategic aims by standardizing infrastructure and facilitating supply-based consolidation while developing robust and scalable platforms.
My job title changed to "engineer" when my duties started to include things like:
- Going through contracts and turning them into milestones. - Timeline and budget estimation, and tracking projects relative to the estimate. - Managing a team and mentoring other people. - Appraisal of and response to issues raised by professional ethics, safety, privacy, environmental impact, and other legal requirements and the public interest.
Did they give you an additional title when you learned all the meaningless jargon?
Anyway, when this gel reaches a certain temperature, the methane that was 'frozen' in it gets released relatively quickly. Methane already is like carbon pollution on steroids, and the scale of this release is literally world-changing, compared to say cow gas releases.
But based on SuperKendall's logic, methane is good because it comes out of kittens' asses.
Almost every big city today has electric mass transit in the form of subways.
Most American cities do not have subways.
Buses became popular because they aren't tied to fixed overhead wires.
The buses were electric before they were not.
That's not what your link says
That's an interesting caveat that you often find in major publication articles about this issue. "It wasn't really a conspiracy". I guess General Motors and Standard Oil were buying up mass transit systems and destroying them because they just weren't very good at business, and the fact that by doing so automobile (and gasoline) sales exploded exponentially was just a happy by-product.
I really hope Apple makes the first flying cars. I've given it a lot of thought. The same people who bought Apple Watches will buy the flying cars. It'll be glorious. It could solve the housing shortage on the West Coast.
Sure, cities will have no problem buying enough busses to have two charging for every one on the road. Why don't people think things through?
There was a time when practically every big city in the US had an all-electric public transportation system. And it was profitable. It was killed off by a conspiracy involving Rockefeller, Standard Oil and General Motors. They were even convicted of the conspiracy in court.
As long as it's not a leak about the Trump administration, right?
Likewise, the role of wikileaks after exposing many tens of thousands of covered up (never published) civilian deaths in the afghan/iraq w/cheney war era
Chelsea Manning did that, not Julian Assange. All Assange did was take the credit and do interviews.
In 2010 [slashdot.org] you both held Mr. Assange in higher regard
In 2010, I held Jay Cutler in higher regard too. But since then he's also turned out to be a phony and a waste of space. 2010 was the year the rape allegations came out and Assange chose to run into hiding rather than fight them. 2010 was also the year he chose to make Wikileaks a tool of his personal agenda.
Wikileaks has been releasing material on the CIA for months. Way to not respond to me at all though.
And despite the fact that the Trump administration has been leaking like a sieve, Wikileaks has released nothing on them. When you're an organization that prides itself on integrity, choosing sides politically is not a good look.
Explain to me how that money is taken from the state budget
Not from the state budget. From the state coffers. It means someone else has to pay for the company's use of state resources. Because for every company that gets the sweetheart deal, there are many more who do not. It's the very definition of government "picking winners and losers".
if the alternative to 50k jobs
There aren't 50k jobs. There will not be 50k jobs. There's a cottage industry built around companies getting these sweetheart deals and not delivering. The tax benefits, credits, cuts and abatements are never tied to corporate performance. It's the lump of sugar up front and then adios.
He's hiding out, but nobody wants him. As a purveyor of information, he's damaged goods, desperately trying to stay relevant. You'll notice how the anti-US docs have dried up now that Putin's boy has become president.
"rebating" it to who? The employees? I'm sure I'm missing something, but please explain how this rebate would work.
I think he's talking about rebating the state income tax withholding money back to the corporation, which is a common way you see states sweeten these corporate deals.
Here's how they work: You work for Company X and you have your 7% (or whatever) withheld from you paycheck by the company. Instead of having to then hand that money over to the state government, the government just tells the corporation, "Oh, you can keep that, and would you also like your dick sucked?"
So, the money is not only taken from the state tax coffers, but it's still being paid by the poor fucking employees. All these "incentive" deals are shitty, but this particular feature is particularly shitty, and they rarely work out to the benefit of anyone but the corporation and the politicians, who go on to claim a "big win". The numbers that the deal are based on never, ever add up. If the corporation promises 50,000 jobs, it turns out to be 5,000, or 500. The tax cuts, and rebates, and credits stay forever, but those jobs end up disappearing eventually because these deals happen most often in "right to work" states, where there can never be enough poor people to satisfy the needs of Capital.
I guess he's getting tired of living in his Ecuadorian mom's basement and his 15 minutes of fame are over about an hour ago. Let that co-opted weasel dangle.
From the article:
"So it’s entirely possible Wikileaks/Assange is here trying to deflect from such charges by finally dumping something on Russia."
Gee, ya think? They've now released thirty-four whole documents and they're looking for a pat on the back.
State lines haven't changed in a very long time so gerrymandering doesn't apply to presidential elections.
That's not true. There are states that allocate members of the electoral college by congressional district, which are heavily gerrymandered and more Republican states are trying to do that now. Gerrymandering has a very distinct effect on the presidential election.

Seriously, I'm sorry if I offended you.

In between TAB and CAPS LOCK.
So, will this shit run the new Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus? My old Gen 1 i5 doesn't have enough cores or threads or gigabytes or some bullshit.

I think we saw at the "Mother of All Rallies" (#MOAR) that it's more like 120 people than it is "tens of millions".

What is the capital city of Hell? I'll bet they have a diverse population.
Sonos products have always been "more than you need". That's what luxury products are.
That's not true. There are states that allocate members of the electoral college by congressional district, which are heavily gerrymandered and more Republican states are trying to do that now. Gerrymandering has a very distinct effect on the presidential election.
So now land has rights that need to be balanced against the rights of people?
I don't remember that part of the constitution.
As long as universities have Economics departments, I don't want to hear one word about how any scientific research is "wasting" money.
Why would this surprise anyone? We've known that animals (and not just mammals, either) can use logic for a while now.
The notion that animals do not "think" is an artifact from the bad old days when it was widely believed that animals do not feel pain.
