once restrictions on marriage are removed, how long untile we have polygamy, polyamary, group/line marriages?
Why do you care? Do you think the sky would fall if consenting adults were allowed to associate as they please?
Nobody ever said Elon Musk was a Republican. But you sure knocked the hell out of that straw man.
In the US, Left/Right is 'more government' vs 'less government'.
Mostly. But there are big exceptions. If you query Americans that self-identify as "liberal" or "conservative", and then query them on their views, the issue that they are most likely to be in disagreement on is abortion. On this issue, it is the liberal that favors less government involvement.
Yeah, let's not forget the laugher that Obama sent in 2012, which the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected 99-0.
Yes, the GP may have been wrong about not actually submitting a budget in six years. In actuality, submitting budgets that can't even get a single vote from your own party is basically the same thing as not submitting one.
If the 'neuron' of machine learning is so very different from a biological neuron, why are people insisting on calling it a 'neuron'.
You could say the same about the 'wing' of an airplane and a biological wing. The wing of a hummingbird or mosquito is vastly more complicated and capable than the wing of a 747. It provides thrust as well as lift, can do a vertical takeoff without a runway, and can go instantly from forward flight to hovering. On the other hand, a hummingbird can't go from SFO to Narita in 8 hours.
And that matters to a much smaller audience.
Most users are fine with Youtube or similar services.
When they removed the mentalist from netflix and it was only available for $1.99 an episode on Amazon, at least one user torrented a few key episodes.
Why is this reverse feedback mechanism not in every business?
Other businesses do this. For instance, eBay allows both buyer and seller to rate each other. Airbnb allows both hosts and guests to post reviews.
Granted, the original poster might not have sardonic irony in mind.
I am the OP, and I certainly had sardonic irony in mind. I am surprised by the amount of "whoosing" that my comment engendered.
A surprisingly large number of liberal causes depend on the principle of equal treatment.
Liberals are for equal outcomes, not equal opportunities.
Conservatives are for equal treatment. For instance, a law against sleeping on the sidewalk should be enforced equally on both millionaires and homeless vagrants.
This IS Uber's fault for not conducing thorough background checks as promised.
It's Uber's fault because they PROMISE to conduct background checks. So their failure to do so is misleading advertising, fraud, and, they are most definitely culpable.
This could have happened to this person anywhere from any service.
Nope, it wouldn't have happened if this person used a service that ACTUALLY conducts background checks instead of promising them and not conducting them. This guy was a serial rapist and their "background check" did fuck all. So no...this wouldn't have happened to a service that did their job.
The only solution so far as I can see is to ban all women from using any service without a trusted male chaperone.
The solution is to conduct actual background checks. As the PROMISE they will.
Yeah - I feel so sad that someone is trying to get justice wherever she can. I'm an Indian too. And I cheer her on.
In this case, their "background check" allowed a serial rapist to get through. Claiming that you do "background checks" when you obviously don't, is a case for fraud.
