While I'm not taking a side, what I believe OP was referring to were 'Prevailing Wage Laws' that prevent the city from using contractors that are paid below the set union wage. If the cites are unable to reduce one of the two

DA can't look bad, heaven forbid they admit they made a mistake and overreached. That would be unheard of, better to try them for some other smaller crime so they can continue to insist they are keeping bad people off the street and th

What they've learned is the more 'busts' they make; the more $$ they get in funding next year to buy new toys and employ more people 'fighting the good fight'.

In addition write a letter; handwritten to your reps imploring them to fund this stuff when it comes time for budget votes. Calls get noticed, but letters get the most attention in Washington.

It honestly depends what your goal is. You can fund research or treatment, both dollars get spent in entirely different ways. You can work with research hospitals like dana farber, the James or programs like St. Judes et al. One of the bes

I've spoken to a few people who work for dod/dia et al as it relates to DHS/TSA. They say they employ 3 types of people: 1) those that need a job and don't care 2) those that like having authority over others but couldn&

I think OP is referring to places that have tax % lower than the US. Say Country A had a rate of 10%, you get the deduction of the 10% but you still owe 25% more due to the US 35% tax rate when you repatriate the $.

Are there really no other problems for the SC legislature to solve? Is this really the most burning problem facing the state or is this some bible thumpers push to be relevant and in the news?

This is already occurring in almost every Taxi I've ever been in. They use it to protect the driver and passenger. This would be the first time all of that data is aggregated to one company for potential abuse but compared to what we s

The plans I remember reading about (5 or so years ago) were about building large scale raceway ponds out in AZ, NM and that area as you had the ideal sun, cheap land, and it could be dried naturally further reducing energy consumption. I&#x

It has been a while but I thought that algae grown in raceway farms was the most efficient way to remove carbon? Love to read more on the bamboo side of it if you have links.

Interesting question to pose for people here: In 2015 38,300 people were killed on U.S. roads, and 4.4 million were seriously injured - if automation saves those lives, but puts others out of work, is that not what we want? Shouldn't w

Have you seen what assembly lines looked like in the past? With humans at each station? Now how do they look? While I haven't been alive for hundreds of years, I would imagine that each time a new innovation comes in to play, humanity

From what I heard on NPR this morning, they selected a few thousand users to be in the pilot program and only those users are able to get the self driving. Im guessing they looked at their past route data and user rating to find users to in

Be nice to 'future you' - if in 6 months you open up the code and can't figure out whats going on right away, you've done something wrong. Just because you understand everything now, you won't when it comes time to

I applaud the move to push this forward, but the cynic in me can't help but ask; is the federal government really willing to make a portion of their employees obsolete? Are the people who run these large bureaucratic departments willin
