> And what additional benefits do these American workers reap?
The money to do something interesting with my time off instead of camping or having a "staycation". I also don't have to stay in one of those gawdawful French hotels that looks like and feels like a poorly done cruise ship cabin.
Plus I can actually make that kind of comparison.
Disney sues people for putting a picture of Mickey Mouse on the wall of a day care.
The day care centers you mention (about a 3 hr. drive from Disney World) were being run for-profit.
The Disney characters were used for image-building and not just for decoration.
That is why Universal Studios bull-dozed its way into the story. The risk of course is that despite its gifts of toys, posters, and such, Universal had no real control over how well these day care centers were bring run.
It's the kind of PR stunt that sucks big-time when anything goes wrong, if for example, one of the day care centers you endorsed is raided in a subsequent sex abuse scandal or three toddlers die in a fire --- and the cameras focus on the singed remains of Yogi Bear. Daycare Center Murals
Except it's apparently only more transparent on the English-speaking Internet (actually more specific: English-speaking and not Australian-focused), not on sites in other languages.
Nice trolling. Sadly, you haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about.
I want my old
I blame ethics in game journalism. Because bitches, man....
Disney called it the Circarama. I kind of like the retro sound of that.
...isn't this just the equivalent of taxicabs? Why do so many futurists seem obsessed with pushing a taxi-based future?
If they actually called them taxis, we probably wouldn't even give it a discussion. But combine words like "personal" and "public transportation"...
Probably because we've all seen Fifth Element.
I did the same in NYC when I lived there. ZipCar all over the place and excellent public transit.
I didn't save any money, though. My larger suburban apartment and two cars combined were cheaper than just my Manhattan apartment.
The trucks and vans can be self driving too.
He didn't say they wouldn't be self driving, he said the people in them would want to own them.
If self driving cars become a thing, I'll still own a car. I don't live downtown, parking is not a problem, and there isn't ever going to be a zip car depot within 5 minutes of me.
So I'll own my car. I'll probably drive it some because i like driving, but sure if I go downtown, I might have it drop me off someplace convenience and then send it off to find a place to park on its own, and have it pick me up later.
Lots of people will still own cars. The only people who shifting away from car ownership are people downtown who don't strictly need one, can get along without one, and for whom owning one would be a huge expense especially because down town you pay for the car, the insurance, and then you have to park it somewhere too... and the parking alone can be less than a rental if you don't drive much.
So its not self driving that's pushing people away from ownership... its "exorbitant parking costs.
People in the suburbs though? People who a rural? People who use a car FOR work or as a daily commuter
Because of the many advantages it offers. Linking to jquery on a CDN, for example, not only reduces the load on your server, and the number of connections, there is also a really good chance the visitor already has it cached because many sites do it and thus share a URL. And even if not, at least that part of your site will come from a localized node.
China's gated internet will become more isolated from the rest of the world.
And you think they care very much?
What we in the west fail to understand is how isolated non-western countries already are. I know some inside views from Russia through personal contacts. Russia has its own Facebook (vk), it's own Google (yandex) and so on. For pretty much every popular service, it has its own version, usually much more popular than the western variant.
I can imagine it's the same for China. They could be isolated and for most people not much would change.
Isn't the EU shoving it down the people's throats what the person was arguing?
The GP claimed the EU is shoving laws down nation states' throats, but that's only a dangerous half-truth. The fact that typically the same politicians who claim "bad EU makes us do evil things" are the ones behind the EU doing said things is a critical part of the puzzle the GP either wasn't aware of or omitted intentionally.
How long will it be before "scientists" say exactly the opposite again?
I've lived long enough to see everything become unhealthy and then healthy and then unhealthy again. And it's always based "on science".
The fact is, everything will kill you. That's why I only eat bacon, chocolate ice cream and bourbon whiskey. I may start smoking again, just to be ahead of the curve.
hey, it reduces end-of-life welfare costs by killing off the population more quickly. The "food pyramid" is good policy if you're a sociopathic bankrupt program.
I got a full blood panel before and after doing a ketosis diet for four months. All my numbers were much better, but to be succinct my total relative risk metric for coronary heart disease (1.0 is average) fell from 0.8 to 0.3. I was using a half gallon of heavy cream and several cups of coconut oil every week. Some bacon and steaks too. Plenty of nuts and cheese.
Most people see similar results. None of these blood tests are new science. All of these studies could have been done in 1980. I wonder if they were.
2560X1440 is an upgrade. 1920X1080 is only good for laptops and casual use.
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
