Yeah, always the Christian fundamentalist as the bad guy in the story. There must be an inverse relationship in modern fiction between actual harm a group can cause how often they appear as an antagonist in fiction.
As the ancient Greeks said, don't call a man happy until he is dead.
If AT&T can't get the bandwidth they need to expand and T-Mobile implodes is that better for competition? (I'm not saying I have an answer here, I'm just saying I'm not sure it is as clear-cut as more competitors always equals good.)
Let's be fair. Most Republicans want to means test entitlements. That's roughly equivalent to a tax increase on the rich.
Furthermore, you could take 100% of the rich's income. There's not enough money there to close our deficits. They are coming for the middle class. That's where the money is.
I know people here love to complain about overpopulation, but the downside to having less kids is that the welfare state becomes unsustainable.
When these entitlement programs were set up, people were actually having a fair amount of kids. Now that we are down to about 2 kids per female, you can't make the welfare state sustainable long-term without crushing young people.
If you want to have a welfare state that takes care of people, start having lots of kids. Otherwise, gets some popcorn and enjoy the show.
Plus, with their one-child policy they're a demographic powder keg waiting to go off (eventually). Either they are going to have too many sex-selected men looking for women or they are going to have too few young people to support all the old people.
Not worried about China. Ultimately, we want them to do well. Economics isn't always a zero-sum game.
How about we just fire up the printing press to insane levels and make them choose between rampant inflation or maintaining their currency's exchange rate?
I switched to Mac because, in 2007, I was tired of Windows. I wanted Unix since it was stable. I didn't want to waste time configuring GUI and other stuff so I went with the Mac. Plus, my wife was using it so things like iPhoto and Microsoft Office for Mac weren't available for Linux.
I recently inquired about a side gig involving that rare database skill. Apparently, they weren't interested in part time person with this skill who was willing to do remote work.
No, the person had to be on-site... for a 3 month contract. I just told them "good luck finding the right candidate". But as you guys said, they probably wind up with liars.
The trick is going to be getting the appropriate experience without having learned it on the job already.
Yes, it can be done. However, this technology is geared towards environments with lots of nodes in big clusters. (which can run Linux) That's not the same as simply learning a language.
I got a job utilizing a "Big Data" database technology by being at the right place at the right time, when this technology was being rolled out. It's also hard to find people with that specialized experience.
So I would suggest to companies, hire people and train them. Just get quality people if you can't find someone with the specific skill set.

Then how didn't this merger get approved?
Why does the FCC even care about employment? It's not part of their charter.
Did they take into account how many jobs will be lost if T-Mobile implodes?
I don't think my wife will let me bid on the T-Mobile girl.
RTFA? You know you're on Slashdot, right?
And who are really big stockholders? Pension funds! Of regular workers even!
I'm not a Ron Paul guy, but isn't it just remotely interesting that we went off the gold standard in August of 1971 and our wages peaked in 1972?
Also, if you include health insurance as part of compensation, how would this chart change?

A fact's significance depends on a whole host of other facts and what its significance is.

I'm not saying anything about whether the one-child policy is popular or not. I'm saying it will create an unsustainable demographic trend.

Why was the first thing I thought of was mobbed up unions and Robert De Niro in Goodfellas?
I have a former-Soviet friend who fought in Afghanistan who could speak to that for you.

I think the "necessary" category should be reserved for things that are currently ongoing problems, not anticipated problems.
I understand. I'm speaking to getting the experience at all.
I know of no agency, private or public, that has said "we've accomplished our original goals. We are disbanding."
I believe it can be used to feed data into "Big Data" databases like Netezza, Vertica, etc.
