Fuck man, stop giving us this shitty excuse!
Under US laws Google has to pay *A SHITLOAD OF TAXES* and what Google did?
Google shifted its money, via accounting, around the world, to Ireland, to Luxembourg, to many other tax havens, so that it doesn't need to pay those taxes
No. Obviously Google hasn't to pay a "shitload of taxes" as US (and other countries) laws allowed them to legally shift their money around the world.
You're mixing that up with "should have to pay"
Absurd and extreme: yes. Irrelvant: no
Just wanted to show where this line of thought ends when you think it through.
I think we agree that there is a middle ground. But touting that choices are always actual choices, is overly simplistic.
Right.
But it's still no defense for armed robbery. "I asked him for his money or his life. He had the free choice and gave me the money voluntarily"....
So, how much harm is done by a "or else find yourself a new job" depends on the given individual. To some it's only a "...or else switch to another employer" but for some it's "...or else become homeless and die on the street like a dog"
+1 common sense
Wow. Great. So you've proven that even exact statistics can't predict the outcome of a single event.
Yes, not everyone not vaccacinated will get catch a disease, yes, there are possible side effects and not everyone vaccacinated is completly immune. Which is espescially obvious as you even mention the fast mutating flu as an example.
From here on, it's statistics and personal risk analysis. I, for example, am pro-vacc, but don't get flu shots. I'm in no risk group for flu complications, I'm in no risk group for catching the flu (office worker, hardly ever in a group of people), too lazy to make an appointment so I'm not taking the (small) risk of side effects for something that not even protects for a whole flu season. (due to the named high mutation rate)
On the other hand, I got all other recommended shots. 5 or 10 years protection from even nastier diseases is worth the small side-effects-risk. (To me)
That would be completly different if I was working as teacher, cashier or whatever.
I've got a WAIS 3 combined cognitive function test score of over 180 (that's all you need to know),
Guess that's combined 3 IQ tests with a result of 60 each...
Yes. If nature was simple. But it isn't, except for some commenters here.
It starts with that life is based on probabilities.
Probability of infection x Probability of outbreak
vaccaination lowers the probability of infection, but not to 0 as you might encounter a new strain of whatever. In return, being in a largely vaccacinated group, reduces the infection risk of unvaccacinated subjects, too.
Rule of thumb: It's not a free choice, if there is a big "or else...." attached.
Which means, that you have to create more of them. But I agree that you're right that the answer to this question depends on the characteristics of the panel.
But to harvest IR, isn't the most common design to create heat and steam from sunlight and run that through conventional turbines? But that may be a matter of scale. A quick Google search didn't bring up any wavelength efficiencies, so I'm mostly making educated guesses here.
1. Higher wavelengths have higher energy. So IR would be worse than visible light.
2. Bad luck
3. Could be configurable (or vary in differnt products based on this tech) Either a charching device with multiple beams, round robin or first come first served
4. Your phone gets a big entrance in the spotlight.
At least it seems they were testing against a wide range of "team problems". The intresting metric for the etical ones may have been how fast the team can agree on a common viewpoint, *espescially* if there isn't a right or wrong answer. And they included logical, organisational and creative tasks, too.
And if you want to have any relevance for real life teams, (instead of purely scientific) your experiment should be a crossection of tasks that mirror the daily life.
Walks like a taxi, quacks like a taxi, acts like a taxi, is paid like a taxi, it's a taxi.
Yes. Nothing wrong with it going through the same burdens as a taxi. But at the same time I hear that it should be banned like taxis are NOT. That's what doesn't make sense.
Obviously, since Uber has not the slightest willingness to stick to the laws, and couldn't possibly stick to the laws, because that would make it impossible to run their business at a profit.
Thank you for one more example of exactly this flawed reasoning: "Uber can't be sticking to the law because "that would make it impossible to run their business at a profit" Bit of tautologic, don't you think?
And may I present you every effing taxi as evidence A that it is possible to get even the most ridiciouus licence asked for anywehere in the world and still not operating at a loss? Should be clear that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with a business concept of "charging amount X in exchange for the service of transporting people from A to B".
Go for the drivers who are violating local requirements for commercial transport because THAT is the only offense here. Go for anyone who forces drivers to violate laws, but you should have some evidence that Uber is doing this.
yes, if it was a taxi, then it would be a taxi....
Australia has pretty clear guidelines and regulations for operating for hire service including commercial insurance and commercial drivers license. All Uber really have to do is comply with the laws to operate
And yet everyone and his dog is calling for Uber to be banned and NOT for Uber sticking to the laws. Which would be simpler and more in line with markets and fair competition. Calling for a ban and not even discussing if Uber drivers are licensced/insured according to the laws sounds like a FUD spin to me. Heck they make it even sound as if Uber would FORBID you to get proper insurance.
There are no games on this system.
