... And there's your problem right there. What would you rather be - a "bad" engineer who can still pay the mortgage/rent, or a righteous engineer who's now looking for work and could be on the street in a few months if doesn't get a new job?
It is better to be fired, or quit. Then you will not be one of the ones black-balled by all of the other personel departments, after the disaster.
But it is a value judgement that must be made by all of us, based on the potential damage that might happen and the odds.
Same applies to those who interpret polls, like the author of the article, and all those that assumed the author knew anything about polls. The poll clearly shows capitalism is the most popular system. The poll does not show who rejects what. If say I prefer apples over pears and oranges, that does not mean I reject oranges. Using the approach of the author, the poll shows over 60% of millennials reject socialism.
I think that is the last big advancement needed for a widespread change to electric cars. We got the efficient motor drives, the lighter batteries with more capacity and others. The lifetime of the battery pack is the big disadvantage that is holding off many buyers. With mass demand, the price will come down. The future is now here (almost). 8-)
Add the new drone controllers, and maybe we get flying cars?... Um...Maybe I'd rather walk.
Those are not the highly advanced life forms that developed the intersteller drive. Those are their idiot relative tourists, and it's a wonder that they don't leave even more trash around!
The human eye can capture an image in 1/10000 of a second, I have done it myself with a camera shutter. The eye does have to be in focus when it happens.
An object hitting the front of a moving vehicle, if it does not mearly disintegrate, will rebound forward for a perceptable time. Causing it to "hover" before the windscreen for as much as 1.5 seconds.
The real world is much more complicated than any theory! 8-)
It's not a speed, but a technique. It's not "scanning" for words or phrases, that's different. It's better than the beginner's way of sounding out words one at a time, but that might still be necessary in unfamiliar subjects.
It actually involves training the eyes and brain to read multiple words from one "snapshot" of vision. Once practiced (with the help of special projectors) we could read several words from a flash at 1/10000 sec. That means a whole sentence in one or two "focus points" on the page. "Flash" into memory and then read from the memory, while the eye is focusing on the next spot. This also reduces eye fatigue.
The best way to read is to adjust your speed so that it "flows" smoothly, with good comprehension. Comprehension is different from memory retention, though, and you can tell the difference. As you read the speed should change as the subject and material change. This becomes automatic with practice, find something you like to read about and that will give you the practice.
Comprehension is different from memory, and if tested should be done immediatly. Test memory the next day.
I had a course called "reading improvement" after highschool, in a 2 year tech school. I was amazed at the results for the class. We started at speeds of 120 to 300 wpm. By the end we were at 400 to 1500 wpm. Even the slowest students improved a lot. It did include comprehension testing.
That not enough sodium in your diet can be detrimental to one's health....
Any serious lack of salt (Sodium Chloride and Potassium Chloride) can cause Headaches, Inability to Drink Water even though dehydrated, Muscle Cramps, Convulsions and Death. Don't get careless with that "low salt" stuff!
The whole April Fools Day thing is a government conspiracy!
They used propaganda, to convince people, to persecute the people who celebrated new years day on the old calender, where it was on April First. Discrimination against minoritys pushed by the government it's self! They could have caused a genocide!
Of course, it was the government of King Gregor. About the 11th century CE. (I think...) 8-)
But still... You are all pauns of the King. Look up, thou sheep!
of course they don't if they don't need to, the math depends on the entire character space being tested using the given pool....
The point is that they don't know what the pool is, or whether they have to test that, until -after- they break the password. So what is chosen may have no difference at all in how long it takes. But they might run lower case test sequence first, just because so many people do it that way...

Government and capitalism are two different things. Government is the one with laws and punishments to stop criminals.
I agree with you that capitalism with no government is going to go bad, just as many other things wiht no government will go bad.
But government trying to run the economy is just as bad as capitalism trying to make the laws.
Balance in all things...
What you are describing is not capitalism, and re-defining the word doesn't help your argument. And yes, your professors were wrong...
Monopolies of criminals are a bad thing and a different problem entirely. It's what the Anti-Trust laws were made to stop.

This ^^ I wish I had mod points...
I would not advise following Plato's "Republic". It describes an anthill, not a human city.

What is significant, all depends on your criteria.
Murphy's Law says that it will happen. And, Murphy's law rules the world.
No joke...
Spell check. That should have been disseminating but I spelled it with one-"s" and the closest word....
Never trust a SpellCheck any further than you would trust a used-car salesman named Eddie !! 8-)

He got lucky, fixed it, and acted like it was a joke. Remember don't suspect !malice when it could be stupidity...
This is actually the most likely answer... 8-}
When people are not really paying attention, they -really do- have short memories. And people pay less attention to things now that they used to.
It works just often enough to make the Marketing managers think it is generally true. But don't bet on short memories, especially in our business. 8-)
Collective punishment is the only thing that works when dealing with societies (collections of people). ...
The only way I have seen "group punishment" work is in a school class or a prison, where the victims are confined. Nowhere else.
It is a technique used by incompetent dictators, as the easiest way to take action. Not because it is the most effective.
It relies on the other members of the group to effect the actual punishment, which encourages vigilante action and mistakes.
The only actually effective method is to target the actual perpetrators, hitting innocents does not work and only increases opposition.
A Technology is a set of techniques for getting something done. It is not limited to electronics or so-called "High Tech".
You don't get to arbitrarily define words, either ! 8-)
P.S., Most arguments are not about facts, but just about the definition of words...
The police are there to arrest criminals, but you are responsible for your own safety.
Call the police when you see criminals that they can arrest, but be prepared to defend yourself until they can get there.
