I guess they think that competition produces the most efficient outcome, like they do with private enterprise.

Also Mr “what my daughter and I have in common is sex”

As long as the candidates are also House members, and they can be changed part of the way through their term, that’s just the parliamentary system, like the UK, Australia, NZ, etc have.

there would be some special agreement between Georgia and the federal government to defer his sentence until he was out of office

Even more reason for him to pull out all the stops to ensure his term never ends.

“Not to exceed the GREATER of $25,000 or three times…”

If the value gained was $5K, the fine is the greater of $15K and $25K, i.e. $25K. If the value gained was $500K, then the fine is the greater of $1.5M and $25K, i.e. $1.5M.

$25,000 is the MINIMUM fine.

failing to meet greenhouse gas emissions standards

The rest are also terrible, but this is a big blow to companies trying to reduce their Scope 2 and 3 emissions. I wonder how many companies that rely on government contracts will have to just give up on their emissions reporting, and therefore also end up divested/boycotted by companies who do not rely on government contracts and are continuing their emissions reporting (including Scope 2/3)? This would split the economy into “government-reliant companies who are not trying to reduce emissions”, and “everyone else”, with neither side including the other in their supply chain.

But maybe they could thank the doctor first.

That would only add one extra process instance with each call. The pipe makes it add 2 extra processes with each call, making the number of processes grow exponentially instead of only linearly.

Edit: Also, Im not at a computer to test this, but since the child is forked in the background (due to &), the parent is free to exit at that point, so your version would probably just effectively have 1-2 processes at a time, although the last one would have a new pid each time, so it would be impossible to get the pid and then kill it before it has already replaced itself. The original has the same “feature”, but with exponentially more to catch on each recursion. Each child would be reparented by pid 1, so you could kill them by killing pid 1 i guess (although you dont want to do that… and there would be a few you wouldn’t catch because they weren’t reparented yet)

Whoever owns the camera presumably has an interest in reducing/solving crime in the area (why else have cameras?), so they would likely be happy to make the footage available to police if asked nicely, with no warrant required.

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah

Once AI and robots can do/make anything they want on demand, they won’t even need money, so don’t need to make money by selling stuff. For sure, they will probably have a tough time transitioning from the idea of making money, but they won’t need to any more. The rest of us could split off our own fairer economy, but they’ll probably have the IP locked up on all the technology so we can’t use it and have to keep working 5 day or more weeks.

A solar shade, for example, could block out enough sunlight

Wouldn’t this undermine solar-generated electricity?

Why are you waiting until the meat industry is no longer subsidised to reduce your meat consumption?

Weird. I usually get the option to combine items in a single load, even if it means delaying some items to arrive together with others.

Surely it’s still more efficient for the truck to carry that screwdriver and a whole truckload of other goods, in a single journey, with optimised route, rather than me (and every other Amazon shopper) driving my car to the nearest hardware store to buy that screwdriver?

“Look what you made me do!”
