choose STEM if you want forced early retirement
with probable bankruptcy to boot.
----------------
From:
http://100rsns.blogspot.com/20...
Another issue with the job markets for STEM and engineering degrees is that there is a lot of involuntary retirement from about age 35-40, in aggregate based primarily on age. Any gains realized up to that point tend to get thwacked pretty hard in the process of readjusting and finding other employment. The point being that majoring in STEM or engineering, and even performing well in STEM or engineering, is no guarantee of anything.
Many employers really don't know what they are hiring for and frequently have hiring practices counter to their stated wants. In fact, most people making hiring decisions have little to no actual knowledge of the disciplines they are hiring in.
As for what constitutes 'public support' - we've already voted with our taxpayer dollars for zombie studies. There is no greater form of express support than subsidy. Furthermore I guarantee you that there are at least three industries outside academia that will consume the products of 'zombie studies' - publishing, film/TV, and internet-based media - and it is no doubt pursuit of income from these sources that will enable 'zombie studies' to flourish. Like I said before, one does not buck the public purse with impunity.
H-1B workers are not "trained by the government," at least not through any kind of formally established program.
They are not paid "premium salaries," at least not according to the US Department of Labor: "...the Department's regulations require that the wages offered to a foreign worker must be the *prevailing wage rate* for the occupational classification in the area of employment.
The prevailing wage rate is defined as the *average wage* paid to similarly employed workers in a specific occupation in the area of intended employment...
The requirement to pay prevailing wages as a minimum is true of most employment based visa programs involving the Department of Labor. In addition, the H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 programs require the employer to pay the prevailing wage or the actual wage paid by the employer to workers with similar skills and qualifications, whichever is higher." In short, they are supposed to be paid "prevailing wage" or going rate for that position with that employer. In many cases these minima are not met by the employer.Let's read about that "crying demand for engineers" from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers:
Anio, Monica "Are Engineers Really In Demand," IEEE Roundup, 2/10/12
... and from senior editor Patrick Thibodeau of Computerworld, who has reported on IT and engineering employment issues for over a decade:Thibodeau, Patrick "What STEM Shortage? Electrical Engineering Lost 35,000 Jobs Last Year" Computerworld, 01/16/14.
As for "lies" about "domestic staff being displaced," the displacement of US citizen engineers has been documented for well over a decade by Dr. Norm Matloff, Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis. Distillations of his research on visa programs have appeared at Bloomberg.com ("How Foreign Students Hurt U.S. Innovation," 2/11/2013) and Barron's ("Where Are the Best and Brightest," June 8, 2013).
In these articles he takes the current president to task for his support of expanding green card giveaways as well as California Democrat Zoe Lofgren for her support of the H-1B program. The "people who hate the Koch Brothers" reflexively vote Democrat and don't go after the party faithful in op-ed pieces.

same species, different race
Species means you cannot have fertile interbreeding. But we could and did interbreed. Up to 5% of European and Asian genes are neadertal.
As discoveries accumlate it looks more and more like neadertal did most of same cultural things as homo double-sapiens: composite tools, fire, language, art, clothing, etc. The degree of culture may have been different.
It also appears neadertal had larger and more complex brains than double-sapiens. -
Floating Atolls
Floating atoll remediation of civilization's environmental footprint would, in addition to permanently rewilding agricultural lands and containing all urban population effluent (including CO2, CH4, N2O and CFC emissions) for 10 billion people at higher than US standard of living, sequester on the order of a teratonne of CO2 from the oceans and atmosphere.
The Seasteading Institute is being left behind by AT Design Office under contract to the Chinese construction firm CCCC, as they proceed with the pilot project to build a 10 square km floating city. What the Seasteading Institute has going for them is their association with Breakout Labs via Peter Thiel, as it supports fluid dynamics research for of the Atmospheric Vortex Engine. Although the AVE would be advantageous even with advanced nuclear technology, any radical reduction (less than 1 cent/kWh) in electric cost -- with or without the AVE -- will suffice to enable the rest of the floating atoll remediation. This is one of a few things that Marshall Savage didn't have the technical chops to address -- the other major things being photobioreactor technology and the notion of atolls unifying beachfront real estate demand with wave break for fragile (hence economic) PBRs.
At this point, it appears to be an entirely feasible economic proposition given the requisite lowering of cost for pollution free electric generation.
If the AVE experiments currently underway attest its economy, the Seasteading Institute can take the floating atoll proposal, package it up the way Mashall Savage should have, and present it to the Chinese. They'll bite.

Re:title should be...
Do you have any idea how much a pill that cures baldness would be worth?
But this medicine would be for people who are completely hairless.
Most men who are balding have no trouble growing a beard and some have very hairy bodies. Take a look at my Tinder profile photo to see what I mean:

Re:But Statistics
Actually, that's borne out pretty well in the graph posted by Rei above.
-
Re:Before you start complaining...
Indeed. Culture is most likely much more of a factor.
Most people credit there being far more differences between the sexes than there actually are. Here's what I wrote on XKCD the last time the topic came up:
Let's keep it simple.
In almost any sentence where people say "Women (verb)..." or "Men (verb)..." and it's about something psychological (as opposed to, say, something involving reproductive organs or a statistical difference in strength / height or the like), 99% of the time it's equally accurate to simply say "People (verb)..." The popular perception of differences between genders (including the effects of both brain structure and hormones) is often vastly different from the statistical reality. Screw Mars and Venus; men and women are from Earth. Psychologically, we're statistically virtually identical in most measures. And in many cases where there are differences that even manage to meet statistical significance, what differences there are may well be artifacts of culture.
https://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=5382
Remember that your partner is an individual who has thoughts and feelings just like yours. They are not their gender. Remember that gay couples have the exact same sort of relationship problems as straight ones.
And if you still have trouble viewing the other gender as being of the same stock as you... men, look at your scrotum. See the line down the middle? That's where your labia fused before you were born. Women, look at your clitoris. That would have been your penis.
We're all made of the same stuff.
One closing graph:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nQ-nxqcuLsU/Tr_TimJmlBI/AAAAAAAAAo0/sp22VFq5wdo/s1600/sex-differences.gif
(The above graph, for people who don't want to follow a link: the left side shows two bell curves with little overlap, while the right shows two that are practically identical. "Figure 0.1. Distribution of performance for two traits that differ with d values of 2.6 and 0.35, respectively. Females are represented by the dashed curve, males by the solid curve. Mean score for each sex is shown by the vertical line at the middle of the curve. The graph on the left shows the sex difference in adult height, which is considered very large and for which there is little overlap between men and women. The graph on the right shows the distribution for a sex difference with a d score of 0.35, which is actually on the large side for many psychological differences. Note that the curves overlap extensively. Of the many psychological differences that have been repeatedly measured, 77 percent are smaller than the difference between the curves on the right.")

Re:Mostly a repeat.
No offense, but your knowledge of welding technology is out of date.
TIG Welders CAN use wire feeders. The difference between TIG and MIG processes is NOT simply distinguished by the presence of a wire feeder.

As you can see from this photo on the OP's blog, his machine is clearly based on a TIG torch with an external cold wire feeder.

Basically a toy
As a "real" tandem person (see here), I must say this thing looks like a toy to me. Of course, it is also far less expensive than the bikes made by serious tandem bike companies, who often make bikes with derailer and brake systems that alone cost as much as this monstrosity.
We've had our tandem going 60-70mph (down mountain roads). There's no way I would trust this thing for such riding. Maybe it is OK for some gentle cruises, but that's it. And furthermore, there's a far better design for front-stoker visibility.

Re:Poorly Designed Roadways Addressed By This
Wait doesn't this improve stability in much the same way that the example motorbike in the summary wouldn't be able to take a corner as quickly due to toppling over from centrifugal forces? If the car leans into the curve doesn't it mean it's centre of gravity attempts to stay closer to where it should be as opposed to putting more pressure on the outside wheels?
I am thinking of an extreme example where eventually the car will end up on two wheels, but if not taken in the extreme doesn't any sideways force cause the inside wheels to have less pressure on the ground and thus potentially less grip?
If a vehicle is wide enough, it doesn't need to tilt. In that case, the tilting would only be for improvement of rider comfort. A bicycle or motorcycle tilts to be able make the turn at a higher speed. The concept is constantly discussed. Also see Max Hall's tilting site.
However, I don't mean to imply bicycle turning is a easily-understood phenomena. I don't claim to understand it, and I've been trying to for years.

Re:Sorry...
Forgot about this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KI0F... This image is not possible, but it keeps bugging me. As most of the matter in a solar system is stuck in the star, eventually when you run out of materials using up all the planets and debris, you have to get to the star and mine that. The image is not possible because everything vaporizes at the surface temperature of the Sun. But there may be ways to magnetically control plasma and keep it away form the walls, and send enough cooling power from far away, to the walls, also dynamic stabilizing could keep the whole thing upright in a magnetic/gravity field, and you still have to watch for buoyancy effects, and in a 75%H / 35% He ocean you need quite a bit of 100% H balloon, or 100% vacuum balloon with strong enough walls if you can find anything like that, to act like a fishing float, and have a stick like that stick out off the surface of the star. Now you're talking a really huge surface area to keep unvaporized and cool deep under the surface of the star, and it's not possible, not physically possible, but it will be a thought bugging anyone who's greedy for some stuff once all the planets and debris are used to up construct space stations. There may be a long time until that need arises, if ever.

Re:We can't afford it!
Well, it really go out of hand during the Regan era, and despite a few attempts to pull it back in, getting the levels of grandiose funding down for such activities is no easy trick.
Of course, Regan did it to "beat the Russians", and since they were willing to play along, they did it until they fell victim to economic collapse.
Bush Sr. did scale back the military, but generally kept the overall financial approach (remember the quotes from Universities of "voodoo economics)?
Clinton did the best at stemming the tide, but his work was quickly undone by Bush Jr. who started two wars, and simultaneously launched the biggest government funding of contractors that one can readily remembers.
After two rounds with Bush Jr, who actually borrowed money from China to pay-off America to vote for him (tax rebate incentive), let's tally the score, before we even get started with our seated president.
Twenty years of spending expansion, with an intermediate budget correction, which took six years to see some prosperity, which was quickly undone.
You shouldn't wonder of the virtues of the Republican party, they primary virtue seems to increase government spending. Of course, people don't know how to measure spending, they do it in dollars (here is an example); but really, since there is inflation every year, you should do it in percent all the "dollars", which our best approximate is the GDP.
So you can read one chart, and get what you want to believe or read another and get that. Unfortunately the average educational level of an American is dropping so low that they only consider total spending instead of percentages.

Re:Why do I have to spell it out?
"It has been estimated that overall, only about one-third of all crimes of any kind are reported to police. 1 Yet, it has also been found that the majority of women who are victims of domestic abuse report the incident to police. 2 What this means is that women claiming to be victims of domestic abuse are not only "just as likely" to report it as other crime victims are, but they are actually significantly more likely to report it to the authorities than victims of other kinds of crime are."
http://theawarenesscenter.blog...
Interesting. I would not have thought that the stats were this lopsided, but if you accept these stats on under-reporting, it's the case that men are four times more likely not to report, and women will report most of the time (59%).

Re:But...
Try comparing something more clear-cut: murder rates: it is 4x higher in the US. So you tell me, if you believe your fictional statistic about 8x the violent crime in the UK, but only 1/4 as many people die, that means "violent" crime is 1/32 as lethal in the UK vs the US..
You also have to correct for other oddities, like the distinction between "Manslaughter" and "Murder" in some countries but not others, or how England and Wales primarily publish their "solved" homicide (convictions and similar) rate. If you kill somebody and get away with it, that death doesn't count in the UK.
The USA is not uniform, my home state has a lower homicide rate than the UK. And while America is touted as being socially and economically advanced, there are large areas which lag behind in these areas. If you don't discuss the violent crime rates of the European Union as a unified whole, why do so for the United States? Also, many US states have a higher non-firearm homicide rate than other nation's total homicide rate; even without guns, Americans manage to kill one another at a higher rate than in other countries.

Re:so apple and samsung should just research it al
Patents were intended to promote competition and a viable public domain
[citation needed]. Per the Constitution:
The Congress shall have Power...To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts
and from the USPTO, "To foster innovation and competitiveness...", saying nothing about the public domain. In fact, I'd argue that a state-of-the-art public domain is actually bad for innovation, because there is little incentive to advance beyond the good-enough level of what's public.
From the perspective of competition, what exactly is the prize for competing? With weak patents, a company that does its own research and actually innovates has nothing to gain except a few months' lead to market, but a large investment being risked for it. Is that any better for the beloved "little guys", who can't afford to lose that investment to a bigger company with a better marketing department?
When rent seeking companies succeed, they are taking away from the public. I think that gets forgotten sometimes.
:(Along with the actual definition of "rent-seeking". Rent-seeking is when one spends wealth on lobbying to increase their share of some limited resource, without creating anything of value in return. The closest the term comes to patents is when a patent troll buys patents to increase its chances of winning a lawsuit, but even that's a stretch, because the purchase isn't lobbying. Patents do create value by incentivizing R&D, so they are economically different.

Re:What the f*$# is wrong with us?
That's the astonishing thing about this. I read some of Elliot Rodger's book, and he was obviously an extremely disturbed man, who had a severe case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and also had other psychiatric disorders besides. At various points, he considered lashing out violently against society for the "injustice" he suffered when he did not win the powerball $400m lottery, which he felt he had been certain to win, and was entitled to.
He was crazy. He had a whole team of shrinks working on him, since he was age 8, to no avail. For much of his life he went to psychologists every single day, to no avail. He was crazy.
Yet so many people on the internet will find the moral or political lesson in it. For example: this massacre just goes to show how depraved Hollywood culture is (the editorial at the Washington Post said this). Or, it just demonstrates what's really wrong in American culture (approximately a third of the comments on scribd said this). Or, it just shows how the country has become too conservative, or too liberal. Or, it's a classic example of postmodern leftism run amok ('"ELLIOT RODGERS: PSYCHO SPEWING POSTMODERNIST CRAP"). Or, this is just another example of geek culture, even though Elliot Rodger obviously was not a geek, and spent much of his free time shopping for expensive Armani clothing.
The very silliest of these claims, was the contention that it shows what's wrong with geek culture. Elliot Rodgers was obviously not a geek. Quite the opposite, he had utter contempt for geeks. He considered them as not "alpha" males, and therefore beneath contempt, and he says so repeatedly in his "manifesto". The very first people he killed were his geeky roommates, whom he stabbed to death for precisely that reason. Claiming that Rodgers was inspired by geek culture is the most absurd of the moral lessons being drawn, and is even less serious than claiming he was inspired by postmodern leftism.
But it doesn't matter Elliot Rodgers was obviously not a geek. Even so, his massacre will still serve for Arthur Chu's moral indictment. The massacre can still be used as an indictment of geek culture, despite the obvious lack of any real connection between geek culture and Rodger's acts.

Believe Glenn Greenwald's book got it perfect . .
No Place To Hide
by Glenn Greenwald
The full force and impact of this book on NSA's full spectrum domestic and international surveillance cannot be stressed enough; what we have heard and read in various international news articles is gathered here at one source, to be read to fully grasp the enormity of it all!
When those of us who served in the military, and worked for various organizations for the NSA (Naval Security Group, or NSG, Army Security Agency, or the ASA, USAF Security Service), the agency was strictly forbidden from domestic surveillance --- for that way lies ultimate power!
During Reagan's administration, in 1988, the NSA was transferred from civilian status to the domain of the Department of Defense, under control of the Pentagon.
Such action initiated what Greenwald so aptly describes as its present incarnation of Orwellian dimensions.
Although Glenn cogently describes its financial intelligence spying, only those who have been diligently following the financial investigative journalism of Matt Taibbi, Pam Martens and Nomi Prins will fully appreciate the significance of this.
When NSA's full spectrum intelligence is disseminated to its clients --- the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Justice, etc. --- it is being likewise dispersed to Wall Street (DOT = Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, DOA = Big Agra, or ADM, Cargill, Monsanto, etc., and DOJ = Wall Street's white-shoe firms, etc.).
This is a slight peek behind the curtain of the unholy financial-intelligence-complex which sits atop the pyramid of control.
Remember that Edward Snowden was a contractor with Booz Allen Hamilton, and has proven to the world his unimaginable and extraordinary access to the most senstive of NSA programs --- and who owns Booz Allen?
One of the top private equity/leveraged buyout firms (private banks), the Carlyle Group, with the likes of George H.W. Bush as a past advisor, and with the original seed money coming from the Mellon family.
Thusly we must ask just how much access to global financial intelligence do these private banks routinely enjoy, along with their publicly owned cousins, JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs?
When NSA intercepts shipments of routers, switches and other network devices to insert backdoor software and hardware to reroute data communications back to them --- it isn't about national security --- just financial intelligence --- had anyone of those traitors ever been concerned with real national security they would have sounded the alarm about the offshoring of jobs, technology and investment to China and elsewhere!
When the Boeing subsidiary, Narus (or other similar firms), aids totalitarian countries to capture pro-democracy activists for torture and death, so too does the NSA help in preemptive arrests of American activists and community organizers, as well as members of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
As one National Intelligence Officer is quoted in the book as stating, "...this is about vast profit..."
[Please see the bottom of p. 224 and top of p. 225 to understand why no one should give a rat's ass at the recent firing of New York Times executive editor, Jill Abramson.]
This is a fantastic book not to be missed!

Re: As painful as it is...
In dire straits religion, and in that, monotheistic religion, can pull your ass out of trouble. In a sense religion is a patchwork of the weakness of human psyche. There is this picture of who they call Prometheus, as a pilot, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XBXL..., alone, under infection, with his face getting chewed off, just like the alien's female's face, http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jxym... , but he is hanging in there, and the only way he can do that is if he's a monotheist, with a personal God, not just a nirvana impersonless Universe that awaits him to become one with it. Whether there is any tangible reality to religion as interpreted to the letter, well, time and time again people come and go who point out inconsistencies, faults and mistakes in religions, also corruption and abuses of power by the clergy, and religion may not have anything to do with reality at all, but it has a tremendous value as an effect on the human psyche, as a patchwork to the defects of almost any intelligent psyche. Which is why these nonomnipotent beings of the Milky Way galaxy, managing other beings, promote religion to humans, and themselves pretend to be omnipotent sometimes. By the way they are seldom active, but in some cases, like people dwelling in the dire deserts, or the Jews acting in the ways of the Lord under Egyptian captivity, they will do things, including splitting of the Red Sea, which goes far beyond mere hallucinations, that almost every other thing can be ascribed to, such as Moses receiving the 10 commandments, seeing a burning bush - he might have been just hallucinating. Btw 9/11 was mostly Muslims against Jews, the Lord's people against the Lord's people, and there must have been some things going on not in accordance with the ways of the Lord in those buildings. Perhaps people lost faith, they've stopped being true believers, and that's how they wandered off the path. There is this saying that the Jews control the world, and they do a pretty good job at it, much better than the Romans did, or would have, but sometimes they make mistakes, especially when they forget about their religion. Again, religion may not have anything to do with reality at all, when it comes to interpreting it by the letter, such as Noah's Ark issues, but it has a tremendous value as an effect on the human psyche. This Slashdot post asked for what can they do under such circumstances, and I wrote what I thought could help.
Btw, the brits at Trafalgar saved every single Spanish soldier from the water, from the sunken ships (no longer possible to practice with the advent of submarines and obsolescence of battleships), and treated them well. That is in accordance with the ways of the Lord, unlike the stuff that went down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...örgy_Dózsa rebellions, and during http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J... during the 100 year war. Throughout history and even to these days the treatment of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... is often not in accordance with the ways of the Lord. In particular, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... shows some exceptional deathrates:
German POWs in British hands 0.03%[90]
German POWs in American hands 0.15%[90]

Re: As painful as it is...
In dire straits religion, and in that, monotheistic religion, can pull your ass out of trouble. In a sense religion is a patchwork of the weakness of human psyche. There is this picture of who they call Prometheus, as a pilot, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XBXL..., alone, under infection, with his face getting chewed off, just like the alien's female's face, http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Jxym... , but he is hanging in there, and the only way he can do that is if he's a monotheist, with a personal God, not just a nirvana impersonless Universe that awaits him to become one with it. Whether there is any tangible reality to religion as interpreted to the letter, well, time and time again people come and go who point out inconsistencies, faults and mistakes in religions, also corruption and abuses of power by the clergy, and religion may not have anything to do with reality at all, but it has a tremendous value as an effect on the human psyche, as a patchwork to the defects of almost any intelligent psyche. Which is why these nonomnipotent beings of the Milky Way galaxy, managing other beings, promote religion to humans, and themselves pretend to be omnipotent sometimes. By the way they are seldom active, but in some cases, like people dwelling in the dire deserts, or the Jews acting in the ways of the Lord under Egyptian captivity, they will do things, including splitting of the Red Sea, which goes far beyond mere hallucinations, that almost every other thing can be ascribed to, such as Moses receiving the 10 commandments, seeing a burning bush - he might have been just hallucinating. Btw 9/11 was mostly Muslims against Jews, the Lord's people against the Lord's people, and there must have been some things going on not in accordance with the ways of the Lord in those buildings. Perhaps people lost faith, they've stopped being true believers, and that's how they wandered off the path. There is this saying that the Jews control the world, and they do a pretty good job at it, much better than the Romans did, or would have, but sometimes they make mistakes, especially when they forget about their religion. Again, religion may not have anything to do with reality at all, when it comes to interpreting it by the letter, such as Noah's Ark issues, but it has a tremendous value as an effect on the human psyche. This Slashdot post asked for what can they do under such circumstances, and I wrote what I thought could help.
Btw, the brits at Trafalgar saved every single Spanish soldier from the water, from the sunken ships (no longer possible to practice with the advent of submarines and obsolescence of battleships), and treated them well. That is in accordance with the ways of the Lord, unlike the stuff that went down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...örgy_Dózsa rebellions, and during http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J... during the 100 year war. Throughout history and even to these days the treatment of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P... is often not in accordance with the ways of the Lord. In particular, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A... shows some exceptional deathrates:

At some extent i agree with the Statement
Because technology has made to solve problem more easier. A simple example is calculator without it most of the children cant do the calculation. So technology has both Good And Little bad affects now its depend on teacher how they grow their students. It is one of the most rising statement not only for teachers but also for parents. I also write for beginners about c++ programming

An insurance based licensing scheme
We need an insurance based licensing scheme, as outlined here.
.. propose an Insurance based licensing scheme for self-drive vehicles .... that in order for a vehicle to (legally) use a self-drive mechanism, the owner of the vehicle must purchase insurance from an organization that is both state licensed, and independently audited. Eligibility for any given insurance policy will be based on the make and model of the vehicle, plus the software package, version and database of the self-drive mechanism. At the end of the month, all of the occasions when vehicles with the same policy have exceeded the posted speed limit are summed up, and it's the insurance policy fund which pays out to the state, with no additional per-vehicle owner expenses. -
Re:Sure, I'll explain.
... which is getting progressively less open, as more and more things move from the OS proper to Play Services (which is both closed and heavily license encumbered.)
Utter bull. Play store is included with AOSP. THe service itself is hosted, and most certainly not a "part of the OS" (particularly as you are able to side load and install third party stores, like Amazon's).
The Blink rendering engine was forked because it was being developed by Apple with a lot of apple-specific stuff, like the Safari-only JS engine (which chrome never used), and it made zero sense to continue to be tied down. Blink does, however, remain open source, so im not clear what your beef is.
... which is a meaningless phrase, since it's just as "open" as every other functional e-mail service
No, not even remotely. Try exporting your email and contacts out of AOL or Verizon. Google has always been one of (if not THE) best in terms of getting your data out of their systems. As a general rule, they tend to actually follow standards, and when the existing standard isnt working, they tend to make a new one and release the specs.
You mentioned Outlook: lets have a look at exporting data from them:
Export Outlook items to an Outlook Data File (.pst)Yea, thats super open. A PST file: a proprietary, poorly understood format that requires Outlook to pull data from. Compare to Google, where you can get a zip file of all of your data to be used with whatever you want.

Negative comments are less powerful than answers.
When you say only negative things, you are much less powerful than if you provide solutions.
You said, "Stop complaining about every little thing Mozilla does that you don't like..." The memory-hogging instability of Firefox is not a "little thing". It's rough on people like myself who do a lot of research. The memory-hogging causes Firefox crashes, for example. Sometimes it makes Windows unstable. It is not always obvious that Windows is unstable, so it is necessary to re-start Windows and lose all other programs and the placements within those programs. Mozilla Foundation has ignored the memory-hogging instability of Firefox for perhaps 10 years. (The memory-hogging instability was there in Firefox version 1.0.5, 9 years ago.)
Also, consider the sociology of Mozilla Foundation. The direction things are being taken seems to be because of managers who have NO interest or knowledge of technology. That, to me, is scary. I'm not the only one who worries. See this article, published 2 days ago: Why Brendan Eich had to go. Look what the author says about Pale Moon.
I agree that Mozilla Foundation is, at present, in control of Firefox. The question is, how bad will things get? Is it possible that, if the money shifts, Mozilla Foundation will lose control?
