No, a chop chop receives the stolen cars (acting as an accomplice of the thief), disassembles them, and then sells the parts.
That part in parentheses is important: if the shop simply bought cars from whoever brought them in and then parted them out, that's a legitimate business.
Of course, cars are a little bit of a bad example because transferring ownership requires registering the title and whatnot. Let's talk about cellphones instead, since they don't: are those automated kiosks in the mall that let you trade in old cellphones illegal? After all, somebody could steal a cellphone and then turn it in at the kiosk. Does that make the kiosk owner a huge criminal?
I believe you would find that the majority of Republicans reject evolution and human-induced global warming. That's nothing to sneeze at.
You cannot conclude that "cameras cause accidents" when a far more plausible explanation is "shorter yellow light durations cause accidents".
Sure you can! You just have to add the additional claim "cameras cause shorter yellow light duration" and then apply the transitive property.
He was dealing with cash and bitcoin. Nothing else. So which one of those do you claim is illegal?
The person on the other side of the transaction might have been dealing with illegal goods, but that isn't and shouldn't be any of his business. Otherwise, you could make the exact same argument to persecute anyone who, for example, buys a car from somebody on Craigslist who then uses the cash to buy drugs.
I'm not stopping anybody from re-examining the various acts.
And your statement of the reason behind the DB act is only an opinion. Further, even if an act was created with questionable intentions, it may sometimes be kept or used for other purposes beyond the original. Thus, original intent alone is not a reason to keep or discard an act.
Robot treatment shouldn't be our baseline for human treatment. If it's pretty obvious that robots will get incrementally better, then it is as somebody else described it: competing directly with robots (and 3rd world labor) will become a "race to the bottom". That's competing with automation, not leveraging it to make our life better.
Sounds like a reasonable explanation. Thanks.
if North Korea was capable of this sort of hack they've got more tempting targets to use that capability on.
Such as? A commercial company is probably a far easier target than a military institution. And maybe some of the military breaches we've heard about were from them. Many breaches are not even made public.
When I ask conservatives what Federal laws to cut, most of them don't have a clue. The few that bother to research often recommend cutting rules that create health, safety, or pollution risk for workers or customers.
Becoming a 3rd world country to compete with the 3rd world doesn't sound like a good plan to me.
I'm giving you the opportunity to give substantive suggestions here again...
He was an integral part of Calculus education.
If anyone had taken assembler and machine coding back in the old days of computing, they'd get it. You only have so much to code with, so you make it do multiple things.
A better analogy would be a huge bloated computer program that evolved over many decades - where changing (or removing) one little thing in one place can break things in dozens of other unexpected places - but where if you were to rewrite the entire thing from scratch you could reduce the size of the code base by a factor of a hundred while still preserving all the functionality (and also eliminating lots of bugs).
Very few biologists would imagine that you could go through the human genome and excise all the "junk" regions and still end up with a healthy human. But many would agree that some hyper-intelligent entity could almost certainly design a new species that looked and acted human but with a genome that was a hundred times smaller.
No doubt we were intelligently designed to appear to have been the result of thousands and thousands of years of trial and error for some mysterious reason that is beyond the comprehension abilities of us mere mortals.
Or maybe we were intelligently designed with all that extra "code" so as to be able to evolve should it become necessary.
I have an unshakeable, almost religious faith in the ID proponents ability to come up with some sort of explanation of how evolution never happened because pocketwatches.
It's beyond hypocrisy to make this moment the stand against the lack of integrity in games journalism when there has never been any to begin with. Games journalism was born at a time when journalism in general had already become grossly commercial, and it set out to emulate it as closely as possible. The games magazines followed the format of the sports magazines, which were already about selling you shit. It would be shocking if it had not come out to be horribly corrupt.
I would agree, and frankly I don't think it's the pay-per-review that's driving the gamergaters, as that issue is hardly new. I think they're getting triggered by these largely corrupt journalists attacking games, content and gamers, and the well known corruption is simply an easy and legitimate target in a two-sided shit flinging contest.
The fact that sex was the tipping point proves just how pathetic the gamergaters are.
I don't think the allegations of sex really were that important, the only extent to which they seem to have mattered at all was through the Streisand effect. Getting a private matter like that shut down is probably entirely possible if there aren't a host of high-profile and relevant tangential matters that will quickly start surfacing, and once you try shutting those down there's not going to be any tacit 'private matter, take it elsewhere' support from 99% of somewhat decent people.
Oh, and careful with the hustling suggestions, that's gonna get the SJW's on your ass for being a redpiller.
I'm so happy about this news, I'm gonna shove a cat through 2 slits to see what happens.
