Thats what is being touted for the Shandong Tranlin Paper Co. greenfield mill being built near Richmond VA, and to break ground in 2016
Chinese paper company to set up shop in Richmond suburbs
Sure I don't expect 2000 permanent full time jobs, but injecting $2 billion into a community ain't so shabby
But not the basic fact of people exchanging money for information. Dislike it all you want, but people have freedom to do as they want.
There was already a law on the books against what this company is trying to do.
Have you considered that there might actually be a valid use-case for such a law?
ok, WHY is it disingenuous? What about their claims don't make sense then? They plan to make a product that is clearly possible, so why is it a scam?
Take a look at the google doc. It has a lot of technical information as to why the claims of *this* kickstarter project are suspect.
Just because harvesting of RF energy is a legitimate field does not mean that this product is genuine.
Or to give you a car analogy, just because internal combustion engines are used to drive cars does not mean that you can run a 4 litre V8 engine at full power and get 100 miles to the gallon.
Libertarian market driven approaches of 'perfectly informed' customers having access to 'flexible supply' are only workable on paper.
I think that the obvious rebuttal of this Libertarian argument is GM and the ignition switch issue(*). When companies have all the power to disseminate information about their products there can never be an informed customer.
* Or the Ford Pinto where the cost of law suits was balanced against the cost of fixing an issue.
There was a story last week about how extroverts would be the worst possible people to have along on a multi-month trip to mars in a very small spaceship. That is something that introverts are better suited for doing.
From Washington Post: Native Americans have won at this stage before, in 1999.
I heard discussion on the radio today, that while the 1999 action went one way, that there has been a change in public perception and that doesn't mean it will go the same way again this time.
Of course I was also listening to a talk radio guy who was claiming that this case is all about the government in Washington deliberately creating a mini-crisis in order to deflect public attention away from the real issues in DC. Seriously.
A few weeks ago a couple of characters in Doonesbury were looking for a new slogan for their company. Their choice was: "Don't be Google". This stuff just adds more weight to their decision.
Barcade is wildly successful all over the country
All over the country? The Barcade website lists 3 locations. NY, Philly and New Joisy. So has the country reverted to the original colonies, or do you mean "Barcade like" locations?
Isn't the banana population under serious threat because of monoculture?
That maybe so in western culture, but somehow I don't think that the banana being used here "The Highland or East African cooking banana" is affected.
Why the fuck the TFS quotes a source from Phys.org, when you can straight to QUT and get THEIR press release Super bananas – world first human trial (which has a lot more detail)
once you start adding sweeteners and dairy products
Americans don't add dairy products. Instead they add this thing called "creamer" for which I have no idea how it relates to a cow.
Plus, given that the nostalgic view that Americans as a culture have with regards to coffee revolves around brownish sludge in a piece of glassware that wouldn't look out of place in a laboratory; I'm not even sure they're starting with coffee.
Feedfliks was more useful. For example, you could see which movies were going to expire and when, which might influence which movies you watch first. Then Netflix took the expiration dates away.
Ok I can see that that is useful.
