Having been in college, and a masters degree. I have seen most dropouts are not from being too good for school, but usually due to poor time management skills, or separation anxieties from their home. Both are not really good attributes for an employee. The popular Dropouts were actually more then good enough to pass college. But they chose to start their own company, not drop out and try to get employed.
When ever I get up in the morning, there is a chance that something will kill me that day. However I welcome the verity of services and infrastructures that tries to keep me safe, and help rescue me if I am in danger. I am well aware that these services and infrastructure may not be able to save me, but I still hope they are available. And that is why I don't abuse these services as they will then be able to help someone else, and hope others are not abusing it for the time I may need it.
Well it is like many of the computer hackers and virus makers. They fine some stupid justification for it, and not realize the scope of the problems they cause.
Many newer phone have increasingly better noise canceling technology. Or pick you speech from vibrations in your bones, then a normal over the air microphone.
Sure most calls would be from the boats radio, but increasingly it may be from a cell phone (If in range of a tower)
I am surprised they were still there. The iPhone was the iPod killer. Which expanded the use of WiFi, and Cell Wireless needs. So streaming music became the norm. Thus the iPod model with the App store isn't as profitable, combined that most people have some form of smartphone now, so having a separate music device is redundant.
So why keep the factory open and ready to make a device that people are no longer buying in enough quantity to justify it?
The Globalization Genie had been opened. Trying to get it closed will not be easy. There are some tasks that just doesn't make sense for America to do anymore. Putting workers pay and working conditions aside. It is just trying to find people willing to do that particular work. Kids today are not looking for manufacturing jobs. The manufacturing jobs in America are for higher cost items, because these jobs require people with real skills to build.
I expect you are not willing to make some sacrifices for your family. Which I am not going to judge, you probably have the money to not have to make them, but you could find ways to save money and still live well. But people with much less income, can and should be able to survive with a family of three.
The problem is we are equating their money that they make is equal to their value to society. A lot of people who are poor are valuable to society and are worth extra support. This guy is working on feeding the Facebook employees and keeping them productive, avoiding them from getting hungry and unproductive. However normal supply and demand means that his job will pay less, as it is easy to find other people who can do his job.
There is a myth if your work hard you can make it. This is only partially true. If you work hard then you fall into a group of Hardworking people, which there is a larger demand for less of a supply of. However the Supply of Hardworking people is still large, and the demand trade-off between a hardworking person and a average one, is very elastic. So this will limit your earning potential, and not enough to have you make it. The other people at Facebook who are making the big bucks, may or may not be working as hard as the Cafeteria worker. But they have skills that are not as easily found, and there is a demand for. So they get paid more for a job that may mean less work.
However to society, feeding people may be more important to society, then that facebook developer who is finding a new way to shovel advertisements in front of our face.
Unfortunately part of the Aging process is the urge to gravitate towards people who are more like you. Where groups of people who you never gave a second thought about, begin to seem like like they are trouble, and should be afraid of.
The Boomers who were part of the biggest changes in Civil Rights are now becoming key in the reinsurance of racism, is partially because their natural instinct to gravitate towards people like them, makes the other groups seems dangerous. For the most part this is a positive evolutionary trait. After your genes have been spread to diversify your species pass on your good traits with others who have other good traits. You go back to protect and support the group that you belong to, to insure your family will have the resources to continue.
This genetic instinct is creating racism, and other things that is negative to a wider more global society.
Modern western culture has a problem with death. We see respecting the process of death being antithetical to respecting life. As a culture we have a hard time realizing that everyone will die, including yourself. And the process of death is part of the overall process. So we try to find ways to prolong life, except for way to improve the quality of life, and offer a respectful death. This isn't going towards an pro-euthanasia debate, but towards work to make life better.
So this research that may slow the aging process doesn't necessarily mean it will create massive increase in life spans, but a better quality of life for the given time we have, without the negative affect of aging.
Besides population control is more effective with birth control vs speeding up the death process.
The problem with eCigs is the amount of vapor these things give off. In a work or school environment even driving, the vapor cloud is huge and distracting.
Over the last 18 years decline, is partly due to the change of perception of smoking. For the baby boomers Smoking was considered a Bad Habit, with tobacco companies backing up their "Science" that it isn't bad for you. The media had all the Adults and cool kids doing it. For Gen Xers. The idea that smoking is bad for you started to take hold. With proof that it caused lung cancer, but the media still sold it as cool, and the thing for adults to do. For Millennials: With laws regulating the portal of smoking, having tobacco companies held liable for smoking heal problems, the the proof of second hand smoking, and rules that prohibit a lot of indoor smoking. Smoking is becoming more of a liability, and it isn't that cool any more.
So there is a decline in smoking all together. The problem with e-Cigarettes isn't for people who are trying to quit smoking, by changing over. But the fact it is an attempt for the market to try to attract people onto a new addiction. And watching kids blowing these huge puffs of vapor makes me sick to my stomach.
Your argument has a lot conditions of could be a problem with Transgendered people, the same argument could be used toward having Women serve in the military, or Poor people.
If the person has a problem that will make them be ineffective then they should not be in the military. However there are plenty of people more then able to perform the actions in-spite of the statistical likelihood from being classified as such.
Winning a competition doesn't mean you are the best, it just means you know how to play the game better. For example I am a two year winning in my works Chili Cook-off. I win by making my Chili very hot. Because I know that the people who judge the chili do so in a small batch and compare it with other chili's. So when tried it is memorable, and full of flavor. However... I never make such chili for my lunch or dinner, Because it is way to hot for sustained eating. I won by know how to play the cook-off game. not because I am a superior cook.
A lot of areas where country X is #1 it is often because there are factors in their reporting that makes them #1. For education, many countries near the top on the standardize test scores. Have an education system that dumps students with low test scores to a vocational education path. So in essence dropping the poor performers and raising the score averages.
Being that most devices will read binary data and write binary data. It makes sense to have one port for this. Back in the old days. We had Serial Ports primarily used for Mice and Modems these came in 9 and 24 pin. Very few devices actually fully utilized the 24 pin. So we needed converters so we can have mode devices plugged into our PC. Then we had to fight for the Ports and IRQ so there was still a limitation on how many devices we can use. I had an early Graphical BBS. And often users will have problems using their mouse and their modem at the same time.
The parallel port normally for printers, and sometimes for zip drives.
Then they were the AT keyboard vs PS2 Keyboard. And the PS2 Mouse port was originally not interchangeable, but the socket fit.
Then we had the Monochome display port and the VGA.
In short all these ports limited on what we can do for expansion.
All these plants would be in 100% automated in States and Cities where they will be Tax exempt, which will be making B2B products so there is no sales tax.
For most flights you can probably cut the travel time, by reducing the time you have waiting around at the airport. For an 8 hour flight across the US. You need to arrive an hour before takeoff to get thru security. The flight is often an hour late arriving, then it takes an hour to get clearance to lift off. Then there is a delay awaiting for permission to land.
For flying there is a lot of sitting around on the ground waiting.

Most of the tech business is in the boring stuff.
Coding and recording CRUD apps, manipulating data, database stuff....
You are not on the cutting edge, but you are getting a steady paycheck.

There are still a number of Mp3 players. or you could get a Raspberry Pi and have them make their own.
Get the kid a Rasbery Pi and have him make his own Music Player.
Kids don't have a lot of money.
First world problems.
Your poor kid cannot listen to music during some classes.
No, probably money.
I am surprised they were still there. The iPhone was the iPod killer. Which expanded the use of WiFi, and Cell Wireless needs. So streaming music became the norm.

As a non-vaper or smoker. These Cloud Chasers who make themselves so visible, make them appear to be the vaping population.
