Trump has appointed Iger (Disney CEO) and Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO of Blackstone (staunch supporter and investor of outsourcing firms) to his 'President's Strategic and Policy Forum'. Very doubtful that his policies will be anti H1B
75K Euros? Really? I guess in Europe where you guys have a social net. With 75K in NYC you'd be a sharing a room, barely able to go out, and god forbid you lost your job.
Shows an exaggerated version of where we are going with this. Not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it but we're screwed if it materializes. We're kind of half way there already.
The government will have to absorb those people whose jobs will be replaced by automation. The government does not have the same 'productivity' requirements as the private sector. The choice will be between some form of welfare or public sector jobs that may in fact be welfare. Realistically, the government is already doing this. The military industrial complex is a form of welfare. Besides the people in the military we provide meaningful labor to a large swath of people across all states. If we were ever to pause and spend less, there will be a huge depression the likes of which we have never seen.
Obamacare is another example. The government props up failed or unnecessary industries all the time. Imagine if the US went to a single payer system. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of health insurance related jobs will vanish. I am quite certain that is one of the reasons why things are not changing in health care. The powers that be see what the impact of such a policy would have at the scale of a country like the US.
Almost everything you ingest has some negative side effects in the long term and on top of that, I didn't ask Uncle Sam to be my Mommy and tell me what to ingest and what not to.
Actually, that could be the cure for obesity. Carpet bomb your gut bacteria with antibiotics and then tailor made their replacements with probiotics and good nutrition. Basically only eat veggies and protein right after the carper bombing. That way, the fat-loving and carb-loving bacteria do not get to proliferate. After a while when your gut is ruled by a majority of fiber & protein loving bacteria then you can introduce other foods including carbs.
I was just tossed in with a team of youngins and picked up all the 'new' stuff in less than a month. Meanwhile, without my knowledge, they would have been stuck in the mud. It was actually very refreshing to be 'forced' to do totally new things. I think the human brain thrives when challenged.
Unless this depopulation happens very slowly over generation so that it does not impact, the hordes of humans will rebel as it has happened many times over in the past.
Got it with 8GB Ram + 256GB nvme SSD (slow Samsung) + 4K touch screen for $699 during one of the insane 40% off Dell sales. I recently upgraded the SSD to a 512GB nvme by Plextor. Everyone at work oooohs and aaaaahs over it.
The fact that the girl feels that she has some hope of some day waking up probably made her imminent death easier to accept. That is why the religious afterlife is there. To ease the fear of death. Cryo plays the same role.
Funny how most of the slashdotters assume that we are being simulated. We could be just emergent properties of the simulation. The simulation could be just a scientific endeavour into quantum mechanics for example. We just happened to coalesce due to the math.
Out of 700 or so people killed by Police so far this year under 200 are black. So Police kill a lot of people regardless of color. It's just the BLM and the media make it sound like Police kill Black people exclusively. In the US Police kill a lot more people than vice versa. The narrative needs to change.
Sorry, but unless you use it you cannot judge. I've gone from Iphone to Android to Windows Phone then back to Android and now I am back to Windows Phone as it is the better device among the chaos that is Android and the control freak that is Apple. Only knock that you may have for the Windows Phones is the lack of 'Apps' but wasn't the point of Web 2.0 to have everything on the web? Why are people obsessed with apps?
Imagine many of these 'drones' zig zagging' through suburban airspace to deliver whatever it is they are delivering? The noise pollution would be unbearable. Legislators need to take that into account.

Would you be able to say no to a new CEO? I don't think so.

Sooooo, it's like blackmail?

It's all about the Fed pumping trillion$ into the economy year after year.

It's basically sand. Cheap and strong

They seem to be asking for more foreign labour allowances (in the form of STEM green cards) to further suppress salaries of homegrown labour.
There is a huge cult following on the NX1 as the hardware is amazing but the closed source firmware is hampering the progress
I mean I agree that they are erroneous assumptions.
I agree with 1 and 2.

Most drivers are too busy texting and checking their social networks. They spend the minimum amount required to the task of driving.

He will set this straight
All BMWs have injection so the i is superfluous. 3 is not small anymore, the 1 and 2 are. the 328is has a 2 liter 4-cylinder as does the 320i.
