Climate change != human-caused climate change.

There's global warming on Mars too.

So you can accept there's global warning on Earth, but it's not necessarily being caused by human activities and ceasing and/or modifying those activities may not have any significant effect.

What is wrong with you? You're doing exactly the same thing again that you did when I made a comment earlier.

Please stop doing this. It adds nothing to the discussion and it makes you look very small-minded and petty.

You may be (and probably are) a pretty smart guy but stuff like this doesn't reflect well on you at all.

Again, please stop doing this. It's really in your own interest do do so.

Thank you for the insult.

"Because I was talking about something completely different."

Could-a fooled me (and apparently did).

Care to try again and state what you're really trying to say?

Consider providing more detail; that would likely make it more comprehensible.

"how do you justify any other future war movie?"

Shortly after 9/11 a great number of people were saying that this event meant there would/could never be another movie made about terrorism or hijacking ever again since it would be so traumatic nobody would want to watch it.

Shortly thereafter the movies went back to business as usual and continue making movies about terrorism and hijacking.

Why would this be any different?

What does Duolingo actually do? The summary here doesn't say.

There is a whole "art" around setting the objective value of labour. It's not a science as far as I know since it's such a squishy thing to quantify.

I suspect there's a good thesis in there for someone who's really interested in the subject.

Things like a higher unemployment rate tend to push the value of labour down, and a union would to push the value of that same labour up. And there are a lot of other factors that go into it including the local cost of living. If you can't afford to live there you can't afford to work there so that would tend to push the local wages up as well. Scarcity of people with the ability to do a particular kind of labour also pushes the value up, which is why a medical doctor makes more per hour than a parking lot attendant. Plus things like government policy can distort the labour market in unexpected ways.

So as I said, it's difficult to put an objective value on labour. But some things are still obviously beyond reasonable -- I think everyone would agree that paying a garbage collector $500,000 per year is too much in terms of the value of the job and $10,000 per year may be too little. But what's the reasonable middle? Again, a union will push that amount up.

If that's the case then there's no good reason to continue to hide the name of the company involved since nobody is still at risk.

However, if it's something that requires a software update on the vehicle itself, there may be some vehicles still at risk.

There's no way to know based on the information provided.

And if you had stuff mysteriously go missing from your (locked) car, maybe this is the reason?

Ford, Chev, Volkswagen, Toyota? Something else?

You're not allowed to know.

"I sincerely doubt he'd be making 6 figures doing what he does without his union."

Yeah, but honestly speaking, should "tote dat load" really be a six figure job?

"whatever civil damages Intel can muster."

$40,000, according to the summary posted.

So he still (apparently) made a profit, I guess.

It would be nice if these guys actually told you who it is instead of having to play a guessing game.

"You may or may not be at risk" isn't particularly helpful, especially when the real information exists but "we won't tell you".

You've just re-invented the one-time pad.

Because you bought the hardware.

When you rent server time from AWS you haven't bought their datacenter.

For however-many years that I've been using Google and its ilk, when I want to find out something I enter a number of what I think would be applicable keywords and then start reading whatever articles show up that look relevant to what I'm trying to find out.

It took me a while to realize that if I just ask the question that I want organically, i.e. "how do I do this" or "What is that" I get the answer immediately without having to read the source articles myself.

Which is extremely handy and useful; when I just want the answer to a question, the question is answered.

If I want to read about something in depth then I'll start reading the source articles like I used to do, but it's not a necessary every time now, or even most of the time.

So if everybody else is like me, I can certainly see where a drop in traffic would occur.

Now compare the number of units sold.
