I used to work there. It's not a timer (unless they changed it since I left, but I highly doubt it, since they use the same system to track internal operating metrics for planning staffing patterns). They are entering info every step of the way, except 'entering' info mostly means hitting the enter key on the computer at that station. One station at the make line when it goes in the over, one when it comes out of the oven and gets boxed, one when it goes out the door with the driver

All of the scenarios listed in the summary are basic errors by employees in the restaurant's workflow. Or, in some cases, fraud by managers trying to game their times to qualify for bonuses.

Personally, I am pretty sure that if you use a service like this your traffic is almost certain to be collected by the government (as they would probably capture a lot of juicy material to hold over people). So I've always seen it as a choice as to whole you want knowing what you do with your connection - an ISP or the government. I know which I trust less (yes, even over Comcast).

You are daft if you still don't think the NSA is recording everything you do. They may not look at it, but they have it.

Um, you may be more than a little out of touch with the world outside your mom's basement.

and only one of them has an organized terrorist recruiting and brainwashing machine and has openly declared war on Europeans and Americans.

I can think of at least two without really trying...

And if we spent all that money destroying them instead of funding this debacle we probably we would be done by now.

I know the irony of this escapes you, but it made me laugh.

Tbf, socialist fire departments haven't been saving them forever.

Back in "the good ol' days" when America was still great, two competing entrepeneurs would show up at your burning house and haggle with you while your house burned. If you didn't pay quick enough, they'd just loot the ruins and be on their way.

No, you're thinking of deductions. Credits are exactly what the article says. Credits are rare. Refundable credits (credits that pay even if greater than your tax burden) are even more rare. Deductions are common.

Article is about a regular, non-refundable tax credit. Not a deduction.

You are inventing a problem where none exists. While you're whinging about "should" and "should not" the rest of us will be over here in reality.

Reality: It doesn't matter who "pays" the liability because the owner of the car pays it anyway. The cost is passed on. Since the system we have already does this, why change it?

You need legislation to prevent that kind of liability, and it will save many, many lives. It just won't save everyone.

No you don't. You just need insurance and actuaries to calculate and charge for the risks--which is exactly how we handle car accident deaths already.

Nothing new is needed to deal with self-driving car liabilities. It's a solved problem. I will never understand why people cling to this idea that it's not.
