Easy. Anything done by a government-run school. The government doesn't want to get sued for every stupid copyright violation, so it exempted itself, just as it always does with shitty laws.
The sequester was President Obama's idea, and he had no trouble ramming an extremely unpopular Affordable Care Act through Congress. If he cared about gun control he'd ram that through, too.
Gun control is a bit of a special case, however, because what the President really wants would require a Constitutional amendment.
There is, apparently, no rule against running the bases backwards.
It turns out it is against the rules to run the bases in reverse, but only "for the purpose of confusing the defense or making a travesty of the game." In that case, the baserunner is out by Rule 7:08(i).
However, by the same rule, if the runner is decoyed by the defense or the runner is simply confused (as Segura was), the runner can run forwards or in reverse, at his or her own risk.
The "behavioral based interviews" are thinly veiled racial profiling. Illegal in America, so we can't use that method.
Believe it or not, this isn't quite true.
When I was a kid, we took a family trip to Israel, and on the way home, during the interview, the person asked if we packed our bags and if they had been with us the entire time since we packed them. Well, the truth was, they had not. We packed them, and then we left them with the hotel while we toured a bit before leaving for the airport. My mom equivocated a bit in her answer (because, well, they really weren't in our possession), and they inspected every article in every bag and every detail of our bag. Absolutely down to every last pair of underwear. Took forever. But anyway, we don't look even remotely Middle Eastern... that didn't stop them from tearing through every last thing on our person.
If we were Arab, would they have just done that automatically? I don't know the answer to that. Just saying they're perfectly ready and willing to tear through folks who are obviously Americans of European descent.
The Israeli airport security model would be difficult to pull off here in the States. Here are some issues: 1. Israel is a tiny country. Most travel is done by bus, car, or train. There is some domestic air travel, but the overwhelming majority is international. Here in the US, we have ridiculously more air travel being done by ridiculously more people. I don't know that we could scale their system to our levels of air travel. 2. Because most travel is international with higher ticket prices, they can afford to spend more on security, proportionally. I can't imagine what domestic flights would cost here if we spent that much. What do you think it'd cost to implement this at O'Hare? 3. Israel has compulsory military service, and therefore it has a higher percentage of its population trained in questioning and spotting suspicious behavior.
I realize I'm being difficult and something of a jerk, but I have no reason why I have to make it EASY to take my rights away. Sigh, now I'm probably on some list.
I suppose it's your right to be a bit of a jerk, but I don't think that making life difficult for an individual TSA screener here or there is going to have much effect. I'm sure they already hate that part of their job, and it's not like the peon at the x-ray machine sets policy.
It's not as intrusive as the panicky say. Make sure you are clear that you want the screening in place, not in a private area.
I always opt out, and my experience has been as follows:
1. I've never had a TSA screener give me a hard time about opting out. I had one tell me that the machine was safe, and I just smiled and told him that my information says that they're not. That is the only "argument" I've ever had with TSA over this. 2. I have personally never been treated rudely by TSA, but I'm generally a pretty nice guy, so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm sure like anything else, most screeners are decent people who just want to do their job as best they can, but there are a few that are assholes. 3. I've never had my opt-out pat down take very long. Maybe an extra 5 minutes. 10 minutes, tops. 4. The intrusive/non-intrusive thing is a function of which agent you get and how sensitive you are to unwanted touching of your groin area (and for women, I think chest area is included). (TMI alert...) I've definitely had screeners touch all the way up my leg to where they touched the side of my scrotum, while some stop just short of "touching my junk" because hell, I'm sure this is one of their least-favorite things to do, also.
(more TMI alert) I was actually a bit surprised with my reaction the first time I had a more aggressive pat down. I'm no prude, but that was the first time I've ever felt violated, sexually. It really shocked me to have felt this way because, seriously, having the sides of my scrotum touched, briefly, and through two thick layers of clothing, is such a minor thing in the grand scheme. It really sucked for me, though. YMMV.
Why would a veggie protein contain casein is beyond me. A google search for hydrolyzed vegetable protein +casein doesn't turn up anything sensible on the first page, so I remain skeptical about that.
It's very uncommon, and even when casein is present, it will be in trace amounts, but some people are so sensitive to dairy products that they can react severely to it. Best not to chance it.
Fortunately, my son was not that sensitive. Whey and casein were the big offenders. He was fine with the lactose. It was the protein that was the problem. And it shows up in very random foods, too. Glad to be past all that.
veggie protein - duh, it's veggie - Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein can sometimes contain casein. If you're very sensitive, you should avoid it. cocoa butter - duh, veggie - Correct margarine - dairy! - Correct calcium propionate is a simple organic molecule, nothing do with milk - Correct, but many people are not chemists blah blah lactone - sounds milky to me - Incorrect. Glucono Delta-Lactone is NOT dairy. recaldent - what? - Exactly. A lot of these ingredients are weird. Recaldent is dairy, by the way. whey protein - veggie - Incorrect. Whey protein is always dairy, and many people who are allergic to dairy are specifically unable to tolerate whey. Nice to have labels, no? milk thistle - thistle is a plant, milk or not it's still a veggie - Correct caseinate - sounds milky to me, casein is a milk protein - Correct lecithin oleoresin -- sounds veggie to me - Correct
Now, it sounds to me like you have some background in, or at least remember some, chemistry. Most people are not so lucky. The labeling is immensely helpful. Even if you have memorized a laundry list of ingredients, if you see an unfamiliar one, how do you know? And even if you do know every ingredient, it takes 20 minutes to read a damn label, but it takes 3 seconds to read the allergen information. It's a huge help.
I'd actually love to use LiFePO4 cells for my camping solar setup but the only ones I can find are dodgy Chinese imports with questionable charge controllers.
I can't really vouch for their quality because I am far from a battery expert, but Ping Battery is very highly respected among DIY electric bicycling enthusiasts.
Definitely place them in your category of "dodgy Chinese imports", but anyway they're considered to be very reliable among that particular category!
I have in my shopping bag a slice of fish labeled 'contains fish' and a yogurt labeled 'contains milk product.' I've also seen peanut butter with a 'contains nuts' warning, but not recently.
I agree that the above examples are stupid, but I am generally in favor of the allergy warnings. One of my kids was allergic to all dairy products for a while (he grew out of it, which is common), and it saved me from having to read every ingredient, and also having to remember some oddball ingredients that happen to be dairy.

Of course, more modern free-marketeers who don't give a fuck about the public good (only maximizing profits) come to different conclusions.
Actually, modern "free-marketeers" believe that there should be both public and private schools and that they should compete with each other to deliver the best education at the least cost. There are various and sundry issues with this model, but I'd appreciate a link to any economist, respected or otherwise, who argues that the public education system should be completely abolished.
Salary can be great. I usually work 30 hour weeks as a result. Since I do good work, my employers accept this. I would not want to go back to hourly (not to mention, filling in an timesheet is insulting).
How is filling in a timesheet insulting? I kind of enjoy it, actually. The hours represent me getting paid, which makes me smile.
The salaried employees at my current client also have to fill out timesheets, FYI.
There are plenty of unionized programming shops. Check out telecom if you really are interested.
I've done consulting work for telecoms and their unionized programmers were very difficult to work with. It made my work much less enjoyable and it made me very inefficient, but I was billing by the hour, so it was OK for a while. But then I just couldn't take it anymore, so I stopped taking any more work from them.
Also, I didn't get the impression that the employees were well-compensated as compared with what they could have earned in a non-union shop.
I wonder if you could achieve good results by doing a machine translation and then hiring a native-speaker who is a copywriter, not a translator, to just rewrite the whole text into a form that would be pleasing to a native speaker.
That would remove the bilingual requirement, and the translated text would probably be much better overall, and cheaper.
I'm wondering what's wrong with "scp -rp ~/.ssh user@host:~/" (assuming pword auth can be enabled momentarily).
ssh-copy-id is what's wrong with scp. Your "solution" also copies your private key to the remote host, which is almost certainly undesired behavior.
Beyond that, your "solution" doesn't address the other issues mentioned in TFA, such as key rotation, key removal, centralized key administration, etc.

I'm on the Japanese porn star diet: I only eat paper. But I can eat all the paper I want.

Good. Now define "educational".

By way of example, the government is about to exempt itself from Obamacare.
This country has no journalists left. All we have now are highly-paid stenographers.
I'm having a very "get off my lawn!" moment right now, but I remember a time when journalism had standards and articles were researched.
Sigh.

For what it's worth, AWS's Beanstalk offering now supports deployments to node.js. It's dead easy.
I've never tried Azure, so I can't compare, but anyway, I thought I'd point it out.
Well, that's certainly their right. Nobody's forcing TSA screeners to be TSA screeners.
Personally, if my job involved touching other men's scrota all day long, I'd find another line of work, ASAP.

Someone should tell the Republicans that a millimeter is something French. That will thwart the TSA!
In case you haven't noticed, the Democrats are currently in power. If you have complaints, you should take them to the governing party, no?

Do you need a GED to stack topsoil bags at Home Depot or lay roofing tiles? Do you need a GED to mash the chicken shaped button on the cash register.
Probably. If you can't read where to put the topsoil bags, then you'll put them in the wrong place.
If you could really compress high-school by 100x then everybody should just get a GED and skip those four years of waste.
Compressing my high school education into 40 hours? Yeah, I'd say that's about right.
Take out all of the extracurriculars an college-level work, and you'd be left with about 40 hours, most of which was wasted.
