Gun control is based of an idea that less availability of guns -> less gun crime. Let’s leave aside the idea that measuring gun crime separately from all crime is an indirection designed to make gun control look supportable and assume that reducing gun crime is a laudable goal for some reason.Here are some facts:We have 300 million guns in the USA, and not nearly enough police to make sure none of them ever change hands illegally.Guns are home manufacturable with a cnc machineMost criminal things you would do with a gun are already illegal. Murder and assault. Some, particularly the mass shootings a lot of people care about are basically suicide missions.None of the laws proposed actually confiscate weapons, despite conservative outcry that that’s coming.So you have 300 million weapons, no plans to take them away from anyone. Even if you did, home manufacturing is never talked about and a likely alternative much the way that bootleg alcohol was and every drug in the war on drugs is. The whole “no one needs a ____” slogan is hard to apply to a CNC machine. How hard do you think it’s going to be for a would be mass shooter to find one of the owners of those 300 million guns who reviles gun control so much they’ll sell them an AR-15 under the table, or build them one? I would bet that it wouldn’t be that hard.This isn’t an endorsement of confiscation—I think that’ll cause way more problems than it’ll fix and way more people will die than currently die from mass shootings. I’m just saying that gun control is a flawed idea to begin with, and it only works in countries where the citizens didn’t care about guns much anyway, so in order to make gun control “work” they have to convince Americans not to *care* about guns. Despite their best social assaults, anti-gunners haven’t really changed the culture very much, and I don’t expect their current efforts to do much on that score. It’s just laughable to watch someone posture as all tough and angry like they have power over you and know they only have mean looks and snide comments to back it up. Occasionally they’ll show you a graph that seems interesting if you don’t think critically about it. It’s just not enough to get someone to forsake their right to self defense over. Until they manage to do that, gun control will always be ineffective.

That's a terrific formula for optimizing your landing page. It looks daunting, let me break it down for you.If you hang in until the end, I"ll show you how this formula gives you insight into marketing on the internet that very few people understand.First, I'll tell you that it's not arbitrary and not a guess. This formula was refined by http://marketingexperiments.com from over 10,000 trials. You can find lots of terrific information on their website. They're very well respected.Ok, here's how to interpret it.The formula helps you maximize the probability of getting a conversion - in other words, the likelihood that someone will take action on your page.OK, how does this translate then?The likelihood that your page will get someone to take action is a function of primarily:m = the motivation of your visitors. This is why you have to be thoughtful about your traffic sources. If your visitors don't care, you won't convert.This is why the great direct marketer Gary Halbert always said, if you have a hot dog stand and I have a hot dog stand and we're in competition with each other, the greatest advantage I can have over you is… a hungry crowd.v = the clarity of your value proposition. Once they get to your site, they have to get right away - what they can do, and why they should do it on your site instead of the 10,000 other sites they could get to easily.One more note on value proposition. Notice it's the clarity of the proposition not the cleverness. In fact, http://marketingexperiments.com has written articles on the importance of clarity and weakness of clever taglines or slogans. Here's a great one. Clarity Trumps Persuasion. I can't overstate the importance of speaking clearly.And part of the clarity is an explicit direction to take action - "Click the button below to get your download instantly" or whatever is appropriate for your site.i-f - i is the incentive and f is the friction. So there needs to be an incentive for them to act. And all the mailing lists, other offers, and images that aren't relevant are just distractions, other things to click on, that will reduce your conversion rate.a - anxiety. You can see by the "-" that this is a negative. Visitor anxiety peaks right at your call-to-action (the button that says click or buy). You see guarantees and social proof near the call-to-action as a way to decrease visitor anxiety.OK, here's the insight embedded in this formula.Notice that the first three variables are all interrelated in a very specific way. They include: the motivation of your visitors, a clear presentation of something your visitors value, and an incentive that will make your visitors want to take action.The big mistake most marketers on the internet make is thinking they can optimize the different parts independently. They ask, where can I get cheap traffic, what's a headline that really works, what's a great offer I can make.You can see from the equation how you will be more successful with your landing page by thinking of all the parts of the equation as a marketing campaign.Who is a hungry market that I can find and bring to my site, and what is the value proposition THEY would find attractive, and what is an offer THEY would jump at.Rather than looking for someone who promises lots of traffic cheap, or who can write a great headline, or who can develop a great offer you can give away, look for a campaign that optimizes all those for one given group of visitors.Here are two examples.This first example is about as weak as you'll find, though there's a good reason for that.It's Mozilla's Firefox home page. You'll see the page does just about everything wrong, if they mean to convert visitors.m - The visitors are not hungry. Or rather they're hungry but not for the offer Mozilla is making. If I go to a search page, I'm driven to get results for whatever I'm curious about, not whatever Firefox is pitching.v - Their value proposition is not clear at all, except for a particular group. "On November 10, Firefox is celebrating 10 years by stoking the embers of online independence. Sign up to fuel the fire."Some of you will know what the means. Most of you won't. And even those who know what it means probably couldn't say exactly what they'll get by "fueling the fire". This is a great example of "cleverness" over "clarity.i-f - Their incentive is very low (see above) and their friction is very high. First, because if I click that button, I'll be taken away from the search I came for, and I'll go down some path I'm uncertain of. Second, because there's a HUGE distraction, the big search bar which is why I really came to this page.a- Anxiety is probably not terribly high. I'm not concerned about giving my email away. I just don't know how how much I'll be sidetracked if I click the hyperlink they offer.So, with all this stacked against the page, why are they running it? Because Firefox owns 19.6% of the browser market. And this page gets shown to anyone who comes to Google using the Firefox browser. So, even though the page certainly converts terribly, it gets a HUGE amount of traffic for free.Here's a good converter. This is LeadPages Software - Mobile Responsive Landing Page Generator's highest converting page currently. Leadpages.net does nothing but design landing pages. And they have a very big user base that tests constantly. So whatever their hot page is, that's going to be effective.Let's break it down.This page is for a webinar. Webinars are very hot these days.m - The target audience is probably the house lists for these guys. Their house lists (their own email databases) have deep trust for them (Clay Collins owns Leadpages and is an acknowledged guru). And you're not on their list unless you're trying to get your landing pages to convert. So the audience is super well qualified and very motivated.v - The value proposition is actually a little implicit (rather than explicit). We'll tell you how to triple your leads. That's clear. And you have to know these guys to know you'll be getting better information that you would from most webinars.Notice, the pitch is very clear. There are NO cute slogans anywhere to be seen. It's backed up by benefits statements that make it clearer. And, it has two call to action buttons that are very clear.i-f - Incentive. Get your webinar. Friction is low because the visitors know these guys. You'd also find a long facebook comment section under the bottom call to action. They provide social proof right at the major point of commitment.a - Anxiety is pretty darn low. Yeah, I have to give you my email address but I wouldn't be here if I wasn't already on your list. So you already have it. Even at that, they use a "2 step opt in" to lower anxiety.The call-to-action button makes it look like you can just click and get what you want without giving your email address (giving your email raises anxiety). When you click the button, though, you'll get a form to enter your email address. But you've already made a commitment by clicking the button once, so you're more likely to fill out the form. And, in fact, a 2 step opt in reliably increases conversion by something like 15%.So, there are your pillars in action. Go put them to use for your business.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer. And how to learn more about Romance Scams.Right now you can also copy the picture he gave you and do a google image search and you will hopefully see the pictures of the real person he is impersonating. this doesn't always work and take some digging. if you find the real person you can direct message them and alert them that their image is being used for scamming.Good Luck to you and I'm sorry this may be happening to you. please continue reading the government response I received below it's very informative.   You have contacted an email that is monitored by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

How did you learn about us?Rumors about rural houses having little Security.Location: 5/10Location was alright. Around 500 meters to the nearest neighbor. But unfortunately an hour away from any sizable population (20,000 plus being a sizable population.)Transportation: 10/10Transportation was top notch. The owners of the property never lock their Minivan or Pick-up truck. The keys are always left in the vehicles. Both are moderately new and somewhat non-descriptive so a perfect getaway vehicle. Not only did they provide vehicles they also kept trailers in a easily accessible unlocked shed.Security: 9/10Security was lax. There is a gate but it isn’t locked. Doors aren’t locked unless the house is left unoccupied for more than 2 weeks. No cameras made it really easy. They did have a dog which made it a bit of a pain. He was easily disposed of as he was just a Labrador Retriever puppy. Owners are very light sleepers don’t rob if they’re around.Products: 10/10No place has better selection. The place had 3 DSLR cameras, 3 Workstation class desktops, 3 tablets, 4 drones, 6 Smartphones, 9 external monitors and 11 laptops. All of the items were of premium design and value (aka Apples or equivalent). The freezers and shelves were well stocked the rest of the property was much more appealing though.They also had a shop on the property with many tools ranging from mechanics to carpentry to fabrication. The tools were of medium quality. The shop also stored 2 ATV for added convenience. The shop wasn’t the jackpot though.The shed was the real treasure trove. This drive in shed held heavy equipment all with the keys in the ignition for easy accessibility. The average equipment’s value was around $100,000, with a combined value of around $1.5 Million. Unfortunately the heavy equipment is hard to transport and the market is too small to get away with it.The products all seemed gift wrapped for the taking. Everything was easy to find as it looked organized.Laws in the area: 10/10Owners aren’t allowed to use lethal force or even have a premeditated weapon for self defense. A robber in the area once accidentally locked himself into the garage place he was robbing. As the owners did not come home for a couple days he resorted to eating dog food. The end result was the owners were charged for negligence of the robber. Laws almost protect us. Owners are not supposed to attack us in any way or they may be charged.Would you recommend to your friends?If everybody is gone a resounding yes. Unfortunately that’s not very often as the house is occupied by Home-schooling kids, a Writer and the owner is a farmer who mostly works on property. Also if you intend to use brute force, bring a weapon. All the occupants are big. The average height is around 6 feet.BTW bring friends to help loot. It really requires a team of people to loot the place.

Biggest? Why only the biggest? I have had so many misconceptions to deal with while interacting with foreigners including on Quora. This would be a perfect opportunity for me to express my own native Japanese perspectives on some of the well distributed ideas regarding our country.Table of contentsJapanese trains are always on time.Most Japanese people are niceJapanese think only Japan has four seasons.Japanese people think they are not Asians.Japan is a very safe country.If you go to a Japanese High School, you can date and become happy forever like in Anime.In Tokyo, there are vending machines which sells underpants of High School Girls.Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.Are you ready? Here we go!Japanese trains are always on time.Always? Hmm, I’ve never seen a single day where the infamous Chuo line was on time. Not to mention that I would even care since they come once every two minutes.The punctuality of Japanese public transportation has been discussed frequently in foreign nations however, what they are often not aware of is the fact that such claims are something from the past. Punctuality of train systems, particularly in Tokyo has deteriorated signNowly for the past two decades.This is often the result of extensive connection service with other train lines within the region.The best example would be the Tokyu Toyoko Line. Opened in the 1920s, the 24km train line which connects Tokyo and Yokohama carries one million people back and forth every single day. In the 1960s, the simple train line which went back and forth from Shibuya to Yokohama got a new destination by sharing lines with a subway line. By 2014, the network has grown to include 4 subway lines, 5 private overground lines, two lines of their own, and one Tourist line.Hence any single unrelated issue from different lines on the other side of the country now affects the punctuality of the train line.Hence, when you're in a rush, make sure you go to your train station ten minutes early, especially if you are changing trains multiple times. You will thank me for that.Also dont forget about the frequent train jumpers who jump into trains to commit suicide. They are the worst.Most Japanese people are niceWe are professionals at acting nice. Since childhood, we receive intensive training on how to be nice to others, especially during our teenage years. Politeness skills is like trunks for elephants. It is required to survive. People who lack such skills would experience the force of natural selection. Hence, we seldom show our real emotions. In fact, when the Japanese have started showing you their real emotion in public, you should know that you have massively fu*ked something up. (I learned this in the hard way)Japanese are polite but not necessary nice.I remember when I was studying in America I was calling the Japanese bank since my credit card was stolen.The head of the dorm suggested me to contact the credit card company and have them mail it to me.Sir, I have lost my credit card and have no money what so ever. Can you help?Operator: Okay. In that case, please come to the bank immediately with your ID. We will give you the new card in person with your valid identification.Sir, unfortunately, I am currently in California, not Tokyo. I physically cannot take the card.Operator: Okay, then please cancel your activity abroad immediately and see our staff in Tokyo as soon as possible.Sir, I do not even have the money to purchase ticket back to Tokyo. Can you mail the new card to this address?Operator: That would be the violation of the company guideline. Please come to the our office in person.Okay, sir, then can I have my mother take the card for me? She has my valid ID with legal documents proving that she is my parent.Operator: I am sorry, you are the only one who we can give you your new card.Then, what the fuck can I do!?!?! This is an emergency. I fucking have no money to go back to Tokyo what so fucking ever!!!!!Operator: In that case, please contact to the Japanese Embassy. Thank you.It was the most cold blooded polite person ever to talk. The Americans are often rude, but they have hearts. Who I called acted like a robot. It made me feel very lonely.Japanese think only Japan has four seasons.Oh, come on! I see these statements all over the internet including Quora. Is this a joke of some sort? Sure, many of us still thinks Russia (and Putin) is Communist, all Americans have guns and shoot anyone suspicious, all foreign lands are dangerous, and Scotland are Englishman as well (and are obsessed with teas). However I have never met or heard of anyone who holds such a ridiculous view anywhere. I mean, simple 6th grade science can debunk such myth (If it were to exist, that is). We are not that comically unintelligent.Japanese people think they are not Asians.Here is another common myth which frequently surface out online. This may come from the Meiji era policy 脱亜入欧 (Exit Asia Enter Europe). However, such ideas are outdated, especially after the cold war when the term East vs West became less relevant.However, we dont use the term Asia frequently in the first place.In school we learn there are six continents in the world.North AmericaSouth AmericaAntarcticaAfricaEurasiaAustraliaStrangely, in maps published in Europe and Americas, there is a peculiar borderline passing through the Former Soviet Union and Turkey.Like thisWhat is this!?Japan is a very safe country.Maybe. Relative to places like the United States or South Africa.I am going to say relatively because, well, I used to think like you until I learned it in the hard way.Also minor crimes such as theft and groping are quite common. Young female individuals should be extra careful.Friend: Officer, my bike was stolen! Someone broke the chain from where I parked!Cop: Nay, they happen often here. Dont get bothered by it.Friend: I have the Security Registration number hereCop: Dude, it doesn't matter. It wont come back. I think you should better buy a new one. They aren’t expensive anymore.—One day in OsakaIf you go to a Japanese High School, you can date and become happy forever like in Anime.Oh shit. Did you imagine that as a high school life in Japan?? Ahahhahaha! Enjoy the taste of reality!If you were a high school student in Japan and had a girlfriend and especially so had a successful career after that, you'll be instantly slaughtered by angry envious mobsters.There is a reason why high school dating is such a major theme in Japanese entertainment industry. Why would anyone consume something which they already have? Huh? Huuuuuuuh????There are two types of teenagers in Japan, those who would be successful, and those who would not. Being a successful teenager means to go to a high profile university via entrance exams. Such success requires a specific environment, at least to the general public.If you want to succeed, have a stable job in the future, or your parents want you to be that way, you will be locked into a fierce competition between other teenagers. No time for dating. Sorry.In fact, you wouldn't have any options in the first place. Frequently, you would be locked into your study room by your parents to finish homework for the cram school you attend every day from 5pm to 10 pm. Also, don’t forget your school work as well! In fact, many schools would do whatever means to keep you on track. You likely need permission from your teacher to go to anywhere other than school or home even after the classes are over. Many parents install GPS on the teens phone to keep track of them. Dating with a girl?? Out of question!!In fact, most teenage dating happens in rural areas among people who don’t have plans to have a high profile careers as they have stable income from farming and fishing.Also, don’t forget the social obsession against teenage romance. If you're caught dating as a teenager, you'll get unwanted attention from noisy grown ups who would follow you like pikmins.In Tokyo, there are vending machines which sales underpants of High School Girls.Sigh* What the Fu*k!? I mean, Whaaat tha Foooooh!!!This claim has been around the internet all over the place, even being cited by high profile non-comedic opinion makers. No. I have never seen anything like that, even in the most fishy places in Tokyo like Akihabara, nor have heard any claims of such being reported.No one in Japan are aware of such thing nor are talking about it, even the most savage netizens such as 2channel users.Here are the responses from them[1]1：風吹けば名無し＠＼(^o^)／： 2017/06/27(火)ええんか？(Thats even okay?)6：風吹けば名無し＠＼(^o^)／： 2017/06/27(火) こマ？(What!? True?)3：風吹けば名無し＠＼(^o^)／： 2017/06/27(火) よく知ってるな(How do you know that?)4：風吹けば名無し＠＼(^o^)／： 2017/06/27(火)どこに売ってるんだよ 教えてくれ(Where do they sell those? Tell me)*Edited and Translated by myselfEven the 2 chan users, who are professionals at underground industries were not aware of such thing which pretty much proves such thing does not exist in the first place.Legally speaking, public display of obscene materials are strictly prohibited in Tokyo. Such vending machines surely would be illegal.So, no. No high school panties. Don’t be disappointed if you cannot find those after you exit Narita or Haneda. I warned you! (We don’t even need people with such intentions to come to Japan in the first place)But don’t fret. We do have quite a lot of other awesome vending machines around the town so enjoy those instead.Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.Yes, Japan has a relatively high suicide rate compared to the world average. Yet, the statement “one of the highest” is actually an overstatement.According to the WHO, the suicide rate in Japan (per 100k people) is 15.4, while the world average is 10.7. It is relatively high if you think that every two suicides in the world, there are three in Japan. However, if you compare with other nations, things get complicated. For example, the United States scores around 12.6 which is only 2.8 points lower then Japan. South Korea scores over 24 while Sri Lanka, almost 35. Many former Communist countries in Eastern Europe and the USSR ranks much higher then Japan. Therefore Japan does not have one of the highest suicide rates in the world.Yet, why do we associate Japan with Suicide so much? There is no definite answer to this as no one has studied it, however, guesses can be made.One reason could be the fact that our tradition of Seppuku and Kamikaze being widely known throughout the world. People seem to associate Japan with Seppuku and Kamikaze quite commonly. And yes, Kamikaze and Seppuku are sometimes seen in a positive note in everyday life in Japan, but most of us consider such tradition as extreme and outdated.Another reason could be the notoriously high suicide rates among the youths.Recent studies show that Japan has the highest suicide rates among the youths since the 2000s. Tragedy among the youths often gets closed up internationally and such news frequently appear in world news headlines such as BBC and CNN even if they are covered very little in Japan.Footnotes[1] 【画像あり】人気海外ドラマ「東京じゃJKのパンツが自販機で売ってる」 : キニ速

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

What is an Employee Wage Notice? Employee wage notices often fall under the heading of Wage Theft. Wage notices are provided to employees to ensure their expected pay is not different from what was originally noted by employer.

Definition of payday. a regular day on which wages are paid.

Wage theft covers a variety of infractions that occur when workers do not receive their legally or contractually promised wages. ... not giving workers their last paycheck after a worker leaves a job. Not paying for all the hours worked. Not paying minimum wage.

California's Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2011 (WPA) went into effect on January 1, 2012, and requires that all employers provide each non-exempt employee with a written notice containing specified information regarding their pay and other benefits.

The Wage Theft Prevention Act (WPA) requires employers to give written notice of wage rates to each new hire. The notice must be given in English and in the employee's primary language (if the New York State Department of Labor (IDOL) offers a translation). ... Employers must provide a copy to each employee.
