I agree completely. It could very easily be that people who choose to do this form of employment are inherently different from average, so the control group would need to take that into account some how at least.
The title is unsubstantiated. The study does not have a 'control group'. There is no way to say if the risk is heightened or lowered. It could easily be true that the increased experience of these drivers is making them safer than average. The headline should be disregarded.
The numbers have always been off. Like CRAZY off. I mean, send humans to Mars AND back for less than what it costs to send a hunk of metal the size of a minivan on a one way mission to Saturn??? We all knew this was NUTS, right?
I would prefer to address this problem with bullets. Or at the very least HAND-CUFFS! We need to find these people, and arrest them! PRISON is the solution to theft.
Working long hours is only good if you own a significant amount of the company. Otherwise, you are burning up your precious time on earth for almost no reward.

Property Taxes, and Vat Taxes, are a sizable part of the overall burden. I would say they amount to 1/4 of the taxes I pay. And I live in a place with low property Taxes. High Property Tax Areas, like most cities in the U.S., It could be half the tax you pay.
I doubt one could build a list of defects in Concorde for $33 million. If the world really wanted mach2+ altlantic travel enough to pay for putting it back in the air, the short path would be to fix the problems with the concord. Fly-by-wire, better canards, etc.
Somewhat, but not entirely. The theory of how life formed makes predictions of forensic evidence that would be left behind. The searching for, and the finding of said evidence is a reproducible activity. Overall the findings have been limited and weak, and there are several competing theories.
This should be easy. It is reasonable for a person to read that language as meaning either of the two asserted meanings. So, borrowing from contract law, if a clause is ambiguous, the ambiguity goes to the party NOT responsible for writing the clause. So, simply said, whomever is responsible for writing that language should lose. Presumably, it is the lobbyists who by proxy wrote it for the trucking company.
I don't know proper variable naming rules. (_, Ucase, camel?). I have a tool for that. I don't remember how to spell the names of properties, fields, or functions I use. I have a tool for that. I don't know how to write elegant linq queries.... I have a tool for that! I don't code without checking example code for how to do things. (I don't have the time to learn off of my mistakes, I'll use yours). I have tools for that. Blogs, Stack, Vendor Documentation. Stop! Hassling me with your insipid questions that only serve as a demonstration of memorization of facts that are easily accessed in real time.
To me, the commercials are so infuriating, I just CANNOT watch NASCAR live. Football is ok, baseball is a pain, but nascar is impossible. Also, with a DVR, I can join the game/race an hour late and catch-up before the end anyway.
I have always said that this sport (Computer Programming) is NOT for people with normal minds. OCD is helpful. Asperger's is super helpful. Autism is better than nothing.
OCD is effectively institutionalized in the Art of Computer Programming through the concept of unit tests. People with Autism just focus better than people without. People with Asperger's are the best. If you want to write computer programs, and you have Asperger's, you should list it on your resume. Those guys make you spell out your grey B.S. specifications. They want to be communicated with in clear unambiguous terms. They want to make you EXACTLY what you asked for.
You'll be against 'augmentation' until an augmented kid beats your kid in a math contest.(i.e. getting into college) You'll be against 'augmentation' until you get a preventable cancer. You'll be against it until you see it hurts -YOUR- outcome. This will pass.
If I have said it once, I've said it a thousand times. All you own in IT is your SECOND best copy. You need to always backup everything. You will eventually lose the main/stubb/whatever. I feel so sorry for this guy. He must be heartbroken. Don't be hearbroken. Backup your stuff.:)
I don't have passwords with anyone who knows me. They know me. Here is a $10,000,000,000 Idea. Figure out how to get rid of passwords. These insipid things must go!

Fire The Prison Staff. The Prisoners are already in charge, leave them in-charge and continue to not pay them. Problem solved.

Don't run WebDAV on IIS 6.0. If you have not stopped already, stop now. Ok, all fixed, now, back to security.

Predictability is a basic rule of science. Until it is reproducible, it is not science

Probably Just a bug. It sucks. It happens. Don't let it distract you from innovating new technologies to control your populace. :-?
Do I even have to say it? Bees clearly play Quidich!

INAL, but,
I would think it would be illegal for companies to decide to not hire eachother's active employees.

sometimes violence is the answer. Find out who is responsible. kill them. make it known to the world what happened. robo calls will stop.

Lymphoma is treated & cured with a form of mustard gas. Interestingly enough, actual mustad gas can cause lymphoma. Biology is crazy sometimes.
