Why do people fear the radiation released by nuclear blasts far more than the damn blast itself?
My mother once told me she would rather be in the blast radius so that she would be instantly killed than suffer a long grueling death due to radiation poisoning.
but clearly you are not a member of the Freetechnicians, a fraternal organization that traces its origins to secret academic groups in the early days of computer science. Only when you acquire the rank of Master Tech can you receive the mystical codeword that reveals your inner self and acquire the truth you seek. If you wish to become a member you must be invited by the Grand Poobah and acquire the necessary degrees to ascend to Master Tech.
....to add to this, the guy is making money AS A WRITER!!!!! He has published 5 books and has written for other top publications and has a family living in New Jersey. Who knows how much he makes as a writer but he should be trying to pay forth something to his loans in good faith as opposed to just saying screw it. Sociopathic asshole is exactly right.
How is this "directly connected to the internet" when it is using a router to access the net. By that definition, NOTHING connects directly to the internet.
I feel like there is a Zen koan here: The student asked the master, "How will I know when my computer has connected to the internet?" The master replied, "Only when it is connected to nothing will you know".
If there is one thing Michigan is good for it's testing vehicles in horrible winter conditions with a crumbling road infrastructure. You get the weather for free and if they can just hire MDOT crews to build the roads you should have no problem testing out some of the most difficult conditions a driverless car will face.
You would think Star Trek would have conditioned people by now to expect all sorts of alternative dress arrangements when it comes to space exploration. I'm waiting for NASA to implement Toga Fridays.
Why piss on the doctors and not the hospital bureaucrats who actually set the pricing rates with insurance. Unless the doctor is running his own practice, it's the hospital network managers who are setting the rates and creating the 2 tier system.
This is akin to pissing on developers for charging a higher price for business level software and a lower price for consumer grade software. In most cases it's not the developer setting the price on that.
I'll check around with the recruiters I know to see if they have any admin positions they are aware of as well as any internal boards. Sounds like you are doing the right things.
I don't know what your situation is but I can tell you Detroit has a huge demand for tech workers. Ford and GM are hiring a lot of tech workers causing a supply shortage of skilled tech workers in the area. I get calls from recruiters all the time looking for people in the area and recruiters are telling me they are having a hard time filling positions. Don't bother with with job boards and instead make sure you have a LinkedIn account visible to recruiters and post your resume to the local hiring firms.
Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of the internet. The Web 2.0 was the technology to own. Then the other guy came out with a Web 3.0. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called Web 4.0. That's Web 3.0 + 1. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to Web 5.0. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling Web 4.0. Suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to Web 6.0!
You make an excellent point. Unfortunately it is undermined by posting anonymously. A post that makes the point that individuals should be willing to lose it all should not be sent from the shadows of anonymity.
I don't see any obvious IT related industry donors from the past that might be influencing her (who knows about now). She is on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee so thats probably where it came from. Strange.
veterinary care and LASIK show exactly what happens when providers have to compete.
Both examples are optional procedures. The real competition isn't with other vets and LASIK practitioners but with the customer's choice to perform said procedures. When it comes to life saving health care people don't look at the cost. Unless people are unwilling to pay X amount of money for life saving procedures and walk out the door (assuming you can in an emergency), health care will always be expensive unless other regulatory limiters bring it down.
I wouldn't worry about people emigrating....odds are they would move to a country with a government run health care system anyway...they just don't realize it. Even Rush made that mistake with this quote:
I don't know. I'll just tell you this, if this passes and it's five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented -- I am leaving the country. I'll go to Costa Rica
..and with the way real estate prices have gone in the U.S. they won't be moving anytime soon. In 5 years they'll have forgotten about what they were bitching about anyway.
At this rate, without question the Chinese will be first to the moon.
Ah, no...they would be 7th as the U.S. landed 6 times on the moon despite all of those self-centered attitudes and special interest agendas in those days.
We need to work in our local cities and communities to retrofit our urban designs so that we aren't forced into a very expensive lifestyle. Two great sources to start:
I don't even know how this got marked up insightful...but then again a really high quality remake with really deep dramatic writing on the plight of the fast food worker could be a funny dark comedy action game.

They could cross promote with Frito-Lay's Doritos and come up with a new flavor....Sharkitos, shark flavored Doritos.
Don't forget to rotate the hiring manager to another department so when the problems to the program finally hit it won't impact his yearly assessment.

Planet Money did a great segment on automotive dealerships and should answer most of your questions:

I'm sorry...I don't want to see how it looks or play with your PyPy. I will most definitely NOT click on your online demo to show your "Assembler".

I haven't personally tried these but I'm tempted to pick one up and test it out.
I second this nomination, he might not be young in age but he is definitely has done a lot of cool stuff.

By the way, Costa Rica has a health care system subsidized by the state:
