You do know that is just an idiom, and an incorrect one, at that, not a law?
The idiom is "A jack of all trades is better than a master of one", which was later shoehorned into a description of someone who is "a Jack of all trades but a master of none". It is not intended to be folk wisdom that there is a tradeoff between mastering something and being proficient at lots of things... in fact, there are numerous examples of people being masterful in many arenas and also having high proficiency in many areas.
Oftentimes we call things that do general purpose things very well and have mastery in areas "platforms", and you see them with guns, cars, software, and I could go on.
"If we're aiming at a perfect society, removing emotions and making people more obedient is the first step, right? "
Uh... how about increasing empathy (one of the potential effects of LSD and some other hallucinogens) and thereby reducing sociopathic/antisocial behaviors?
So, your argument is, just because nobody cares about you, therefore, nobody else should be concerned?
I am not trying to make this into a pissing contest, but there are lots of people who have a lot to lose by having their personal information exposed and anonymity removed. Like, anyone who has had an unpopular opinion and is realistic about how their corporate HR department would react to bad PR.
No, we have direct evidence of gravitational anomaly.
And new particles aren't the only game in town. Revised properties of gravity (TeVeS) are still candidates as there has yet to be irrefutable evidence against them, and given our continuing inability to directly observe said novel particles...
And by "never supported", you mean were dictated their position following their party line after the GOP chose to make the ACA a wedge issue.
And Romney wasn't just some RINO rebel GOP governor in a backwater state that the GOP could write off as being a product of a liberal constituent... he was who the GOP chose to be the shining star and face of their party to combat the derivative of the very plan Romney pushed for in his home state.
You had to put some powerful spin to make that jive in your red worldview.
What is your point? When his peers were fired for whistleblowing on this issue, the activity continued without review, the public didn't know and neither did Congress, his actions seem perfectly rational if 1. He knew the U.S. government was acting and was going to act like an asshole (obvious from the whistleblowing) and 2. Had conviction that he wasn't doing anything wrong and therefore didn't think he deserved to be punished for doing the right thing.
If he (or we) could trust the government to give him a fair trial (not obvious given Assange and Manning), maybe he wouldn't have had to flee to our enemies for protection from us.
I mean, after all, he didn't slip our enemies our secrets under cover or for profit, he threw them to the public and to the media and then sought asylum. It isn't like he is living like an aristocrat in Russia.
What he did was illegal, but I can't say that it was wrong.
Or, shit, how about the AI Arctic Warfare rifles serviced by the Swedish and Norwegian militaries, amongst others, specifically designed for use in the extreme cold... and also using fiberglass/kevlar composite stocks.
Fiberglass stocks do pretty well in the cold... well enough that the US Army and Marine corp chose them during the Cold War for their M40 and M24 sniper platforms with fighting in Siberia specifically in mind and tested them in field trials in Alaska.
That is because you were using a cheap-ass thermoplastic/synthetic stock instead of a quality fiberglass/synthetic stock.
There are many bolt guns with similar functionality and better performance than the Lee-Enfield.
For example, the Remington 700P weighs the same as an Enfield, but has modern accuracy (0.5 MOA out of the box isn't uncommon), durability (not as effected by temperature swings), and is available with modern cartridges like 308 Win and 300 Win Mag.
Or there are rifles like the Ruger Gunsite Scout, while not combat proven, is cold weather hunting proven, offering a very lightweight package at aroun 7 lbs, 308 Win, better accuracy than the Enfield, a temperature resistant laminate stock, and back up irons.
"Today if a scientist is going to coin a new term, it's most likely in English."
Could have fooled me. Looking at a broad range of newer terms in mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry, an awful lot are Latin or derived from Latin.
I don't know if I would say "in good shape" when the future dollar worth will be 1/2-1/4 after 35 yes with a 2-4% inflation rate.
Worst case inflation, 18.5k/year(present dollars) is about minimum wage, and maintaining lifestyle will eat up the 500-900k present dollar savings for many retirees in <10 years. I hope they don't intend to live past 75 (average life expectancy is already at least that).
Maintenance (tires, brake pads, fluid changes, headlight bulbetc) averages $1500/year. On top of that, anything that breaks (so far, windshield washer motor, pumps assorted little things) have fixes that start at $1k and go up real quick.
Your Denali, being a truck, not a lightweight, high performance sports car, is an Apples-to-oranges comparison even amongst ICE vehicles, let alone the Tesla.
If they get C's in highschool, it is because they are lazy (both intellectually and in terms of work ethic).
To me, that is a great indicator that they aren't ready for a doubling or tripling of workload that Colleges dump on undergrads and expect said undergrads to complete on their own initiative.
And besides, it isn't like that is a mile high barrier to overcome. Part of the point of the community college is to allow poor performing students an opportunity to redeem themselves before going to a four-year institution.
And besides, didn't Jobs very famously drop out from college? Because if his argument is that we should admit poor performers so they can drop out and become billionaires, I fail to see why we should have admitted them in the first place since they were independently successful despite college.
If it is the application developer's fault (and frankly, the idea that every app has to be absolutuely perfect otherwise one permanently jacks up their OS is idiotic beyond belief), then why is the ONLY a problem in Windows?
You can install/uninstall crap on other OS's with no accumulative or persistent performance issues. Why? Because they weren't designed by idiots.
I have one W7 install that is *permanently* in limbo, unable to install Visual Studios redistributables because of a Windows patch bug, and there is literally no information on how to fix it, other than "reinstall OS" from the M$ horse's mouth.
That is when you know a design is pitiful and worthless.
That is a pretty low bar given the large number of people who believe religion is inherited like an ethnicity, and the other large number who self identify because of peer pressure.
Yea, CLASSIC U.K. gov't fearmongering and freedom abuse.
Next step will be a media propaganda campaign supporting only the government's point of view while the legislation is drafted such that by the time it goes to Parliament, the sheep public will be 100% on board.
That is the same idea, but worse, than a large screen panel with a camera facing the other way.
The simple fact is that the surface of a 3D shape can't be made to show the path of light through every part of that shape from every angle simultaneously without bending light.
Either it can only do so from one angle at once, meaning any other angle is inneffective, or it can show all angles through a point, and any other point is inneffective.

Not arguing any other point, just that one.

Sensationalism. Quarter-century sounds a lot more impressive than "since about 1990".
That being said, I want to be clear that it would not be the choice I would make. And saying that isn't out of cowardice.

Where are the sources backing up that claim?
"contact the BBB"
You do realize that the BBB sells good reviews to companies (and also extorts companies with bad reviews), right?
5's on both A and AB exam, VT and UVA did not accept credit for any level of class except for elective in either CS or CPE programs.

Get over yourself.

Oh, good, for an OS with many tens of millions of lines of code, you can review code for one slightly related development framework.
And that somehow means the rest of the OS is reviewed well..
AT LEAST THERE'S THAT.
