I'll readily agree to that. But doesn't mean I have to bow and grovel to the moron in charge. We were given a choice of two awful people. The problem is with all the hypocrites saying "we won, so shut up and take it!" when during the Obama years they were bitching and moaning just as loudly. I'm really annoyed that people treat politics like it was a simple sports game. Modern political discussion is like listening to two drunk guys in a bar.
There is a shortgage in some areas. That's why COBOL programmers still get paid big bucks. It's hard to find good C programmers too, even though it's vital in a lot of areas, IoT, embedded, etc. Above average Verilog or VHDL programmers are relatively rare as well. And when it comes to finding senior level workers with good skills and experience for designing new products from scratch, they're always in demand, and it rarely works to outsource those jobs.
Depends on which kind of talent. There are popular jobs where these skills are taught and used all around the world, then you're going to find more workers outside of the US very easily. But it's also cheaper to outsource these than to directly hire foreign workers to work locally in the US. However for jobs that are in demand because they're harder to fill then it makes sense to be allowed to hire from anywhere just to find the few people who can do it (older technology no longer in fashion, or newer technology that's not taught in the IT job mills). Those hard to fill jobs pay above average, whereas for cookie cutter jobs will not.
There's a difference between saying this must be kept private, and saying it's not good for people to be collecting and selling this data. Ie, both sides are right here.
It depends on what "reasonable" means here - we effectively cannot enforce absolute privacy when going into the public, but we *should* be able to reasonably assume that we're not being spied upon when we go to the mall. There are always special cases of course, there could be a guy sitting in the parking lot jotting down everyone's license plate, but it's unreasonable to expect that this can be prevented in all instances. But it is not unreasonable to expect companies to not spy on us.
What you're trying to say is that you can never have 100% privacy in a public space. That is not the same thing as a green light allowing any company to spy with impunity. The "reasonable" part lies in between the two.
Entering the country illegally is a misdemeanor level of offense. Sure, it's illegal, but stop treating it like a massive offense when larger crimes are committed with impunity by citizens every day (failing to report taxes correctly for instance).
Because my default stance is to distrust the cloud. It's amorphous, badly defined, and not proven to be secure. I've seen too many cases were companies screw up badly because security cuts into profits (they think, until they're bankrupt).
Even if secure, what happens when they go away, like most flash-in-the-pan online startups there's no guarantee that the service will stay around or notify you effectively before the plug is pulled. Even if you use the cloud, keep a backup.
I put my passwords in a file on a USB thumb drive, and I keep it at home on my desk. It is not kept on a computer, it only shows up there briefly for less than a minute.
I have an encrypted subset of less important ones at work.
I would assume that you just wait until you get home. If you can't get the password when mobile, then just maybe you don't need to get onto that site anyway, thus saving you money and/or privacy. People do need to be more paranoid instead of defaulting to a "me want now!" attitude.
Well, mkultra was kooky and unthinkable, but not nearly as kooky and unthinkable as the conspiracy theories claimed. Government conspiracies never seem to be as wide spread and organized as is often believed.
Fact checking sites will routinely counter both Republican AND Democratic lies? Maybe they're being labeled as liberal because the conservatives have more fake news sites (Brietbart, Infowars) and editorials masquerading as news (Fox)?
Linguistically, colors show up in languages at different times. So while people can distinguish colors they may not necessarily have words to give the colors names. A word for color may involve many different hues, for example the word Homer used for the color of honey is usually translated as "green". Blue is often a word that shows up relatively later in a language's life.
There's a lot of cultural stuff involved too - clearly the sky is not blue most of the time, it's usually grayish. And when it does have a blue hue it's very pale. But people say the sky is blue, and so we take it for granted. Similarly, I look out my window now and I see leaves on a tree that are more yellow than green, and yet my first thought is that they are green because leaves are supposed to be green.
Some products only need to transmit once every 20 minutes or more. The snag is that you need to receive a lot more often and that ends up being a much large power drain than transmission.
A millisecond transmission is a snag in itself. To squeeze more data in you need more bits per second, but that also decreases range. Most independent sensors (not wired to a reciever) would want better range than bluetooth class 3.
Still, this technology could be a good start. Low power wireless computing chips are being introduced and getting more efficient every year, once the market for such things became popular.
Don't think about this in 2D like it's a solar panel. Fold it up and you can get 100 square centimeters in a compact space. Now if you can keep it generating electricity then that's great, but more likely you'll need to store up the electricity in a supercap.
I'm working on stuff that needs a decade or two battery life (no recharge) and is wireless. Give it a hundred square centimeters and you're in a good range to help with this. The snag though is that temperature doesn't change a lot, but if you can store the electricity in a capacitor then it helps extend the battery life.
The Merriam-Webster definition I just looked up online is (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/capitalism): : an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.
In other words, it include investments and fair competition which your definition excludes.
Also to be sure, we don't have any pure capitalist countries anymore than we've ever had pure socialist countries.
It's different party altogether with very different ideals with two big changes over time. First was the abandonment of protectionism and tariffs, which suprisingly has come back as a decaying zombie recently. And second, the incorporation of the southern segregationists when they left the Democratic party due to its support of civil rights; which cemented social conservativism into the Republican agenda.

That's because Trump continues to campaign. Continuing to hold political rallies even in off years is rare to see in democratic republics.

Ok, maybe our price is higher since it's in low volumes.
Not connecting to Facebook and Twitter might be a feature that people are willing to pay less for!
I do even better, I left mine at the store.

Well, when I see someone with an iPhone 3 still, the first thing that comes to my mind is not "wow, he must be rich!"
He forgot the bit about asking for the ears back.
Plan 9 was ok, but Manos was awesome in its ineptitude.
Howard the Duck was mostly just a film about bestiality. It would have worked better with Ron Perlman as the the duck.
Kubrick was given a few other short stories to use as background material.
