One can easily say the same thing about liberals an GMO's.
Yep, that's true. But allowing global warming to continue unchecked is far, FAR more harmful than forcing companies to label their GMO products. The two types of anti-science behavior are alike in kind, but not in scale. Only one is threatening human civilization.
Curious minds want to know what sort of "self-plagarism" in a journal's content rates shutting the journal down.
Apparently not curious enough to read the fine article.
The editors of the journal copy-pasted from an earlier work without crediting their earlier coworkers. So "Ouadfeul, Aliouane, Hamoudi, Boudella, and Eladj" became just "Ouadfeul and Aliouane".
According to the BLS report from 2012, there were 295k electrical & electronic engineers, and an additional 80k computer hardware engineers, who aren't counted in the total for whatever reason.
According to the BLS report from 2002, there were 272k EEs and an additional 67k computer hardware engineers.
So that's a total of 375k in 2012 and 339k in 2002. If my math is right, that's a growth rate of 1% per year. The US population growth rate averaged over the last ten years is around 0.9%.
So what am I missing? Where is TFA getting their startling decline from?
Pure speculation, but it could very well be a knock-on effect from off-shoring manufacturing. You want at least some of your engineers to be close to the manufacturing line to debug when things go wrong. The designers might stay in the US, but manufacturing, test, packaging, etc., will shift towards the factories. And then, some years later, you'll want the designers to be near the mfg/tst/pkg guys to allow easier communication.
Sometimes, yes. For example, if my arm gets chopped off, a perfect solution would be to reattach it and make it good as new. An imperfect but acceptable solution would be to clean up the wound and give me a prosthetic. What EA is doing is offering to move my watch to my remaining wrist. It's nice and all, but it doesn't solve the problem I'm actually concerned with.
SimCity is still a huge disappointment to fans of the franchise. A dull, buggy, pared-down game that works offline isn't much better than one that requires the internet.
But they're not fixing other issues, like the minuscule city size. They're probably only doing the "right" thing here so that they can save on server costs.
Because no one on this site is smart enough to really understand the topic. That's always been the case. Even those times in the past where you thought you were learning something, it was most likely from a post by someone half-remembering their undergrad physics classes.
This country was made great by holding to the standards of freedom and justice,
lol
They teach you that in grade school? Where was the freedom and justice for the natives, or the slaves, or the women, or the non-Protestants? Where was freedom for the interned Japanese, or justice for people accused of Communism during the red scare? Where was the freedom and justice for all the South Americans and Middle Easterners, as they were ruled by our blood-thirsty puppets?
Fuck, was there ever even a single ten year period in which this country "held to the standards of freedom and justice"?
No. There never was. This country is great because it was founded by people who could easily slaughter their only nearby opponents. It's great because after slaughtering the natives, there were ample resources to go around. It's great because our ancestors were immoral enough to build an economy on the backs of slaves, and later on the backs of immigrants who worked themselves to death in hopes of attaining a wealth that none would ever see. It's great because we were left nearly untouched while the rest of the developed world was bombed to ash during WWII. It's great by accident.
Don't blame the NSA for ruining the Land of the Free. That place never existed outside of storybooks. Reality has always been a lot messier, you're just noticing it for the first time.
Yeah, tell me how that worked out for the bankers? And at least the NSA folks were trying to work for us, even if they went about it in the worst way possible. The bankers were trying (with great success!) to enrich themselves at our expense. Hell, HSBC literally laundered money for mass-murdering drug kingpins. How many of them saw the inside of a cell?
Stop judging all feminists by a handful of extremists. I guarantee that WHATEVER your beliefs on ANY topic, I can find some one with an extreme version, and then use that to write you off as an idiot.
It's intellectually dishonest, it's bigoted, don't do it.
We have people with serious illnesses that were covered under the old system losing their healthcare and having new healthcare policies offered that are twice as expensive. That is a fact.
That's an anecdote. I could dig up dozens of counter examples, but why waste my time? You're just performing a Gish Gallop.
The weak number of sign-ups undercuts two major defenses of Obamacare from its supporters. One defense was that state-based exchanges were performing a lot better than the federal healthcare.gov website servicing 36 states.
And that defense is accurate. The state-based exchanges are doing well, on average. The only state-based exchanges that are lagging are in Oregon, Maryland, and Nevada. And the latter two are comparable to the federal exchange. Only Oregon is a real disaster.
And furthermore, the point of that defense is to counter the Republicans claiming that the problems of the federal exchange are due to the law being unworkable. The success of the exchanges in New York, New England, Kentucky, California, etc., proves that the law can work.
Oh for fuck's safe, "The American Dream was supposed to be FOR Americans"?? Which Americans were those? Are the Irish and Italians and Jews allowed to prosper, or is success only for the WASPs? Anyone who's willing to follow our laws and pay their taxes should be welcome. They certainly contribute more than the tax-dodging, money-laundering elite.
Do you know what "tone deaf" means? It doesn't mean "wrong". It means that they didn't consider the cultural context around their actions. They unwittingly did something that many people would find offensive.
Here's the tone: they are trying to help.
Haha, sure they're trying to help... their bottom line. Companies exist to make money. They're not doing this as a public service.
It is in their best interest not to offend their customers. It does not help anyone to shame people for being overweight. They would have been better off marketing it as a general fitness tool, rather than focusing on over-eating.
Can you understand that? No one is saying it shouldn't exist.
Brass tacks: We need -massive- amounts of energy, we will need even more, and there are two options - hydrocarbons and nuclear.
There's a third option for massive amounts of energy. The gigantic nuclear furnace floating 90 million miles away. It provides more than enough energy for all our needs. It's just a matter of collection. Wind farms are one way of collecting that energy.
Only to a certain point, which is what the article is getting at. Eventually the cost of the machines required to make smaller die outweighs the cost savings from having more die per wafer.
This hits the nail on the head. For decades, software developers have been able to play fast and loose, while counting on the ever-faster hardware to make up for bloated, inefficient programs. Those days are ending. Programmers will need to be a lot more disciplined, and really engineer their programs, in order to get as much performance as possible out of the hardware. In a lot of ways, it will be similar to the early days of computing.
For now they have. What happens when they get used? Don't tell me you've fallen for that MAD survivor's bias nonsense. The only reason the Cold War didn't destroy human civilization is luck. More than once it came down to the right man in the right place making the right call. We won't always be so lucky.
And remember: we need to get lucky EVERY time. If we get unlucky just once, it's all over. Forever. All the easily accessible petroleum is gone. If we get unlucky, there will be no rebuilding of civilization. Our species will die.
Purchases cease to be voluntary when they're necessary for survival and the supply is controlled by a few price-fixing capitalists.
Oh, sure, a few people can slip through the net by living off the land. But if everyone tried to do that, we'd quickly find that there's not nearly enough land to support our seven billion and rising people.
Is there any reason to think that he wanted to die sooner? I was happy to support legalizing euthanasia when it came up to vote in Seattle, but let's not go presuming all of the old and sick are just waiting to be put out of their misery. He's not some dog to be put down when the medical bills get too high.
The plan being pushed by the organization behind the suit is to put them in a "sanctuary". Just like how when we finally recognized black people as humans and ended slavery, our solution was to move all the slaves to nicer plantations.
It seems like the animals-are-people-too activists don't even fully believe their own BS.

There's no science to support the idea that GMO foods need special warning labels. All the hippy nonsense about "toxins" is born of ignorance.
One can easily say the same thing about liberals an GMO's.
Yep, that's true. But allowing global warming to continue unchecked is far, FAR more harmful than forcing companies to label their GMO products. The two types of anti-science behavior are alike in kind, but not in scale. Only one is threatening human civilization.

What then is left? Well... we have the emperical fact of the healthcare premiums going up. That's a fact.
Premiums always go up, it's called inflation. But the rate of increase is near all time lows.
We have 70 percent of doctors in many areas boycotting the ACA. That is a fact.
No, it's not a fact. It's a straight up lie. You're just gullible.
We have people with serious illnesses that were covered under the old system losing their healthcare and having new healthcare policies offered that are twice as expensive. That is a fact.

Computers are, in many ways, smarter than a three year old child. Is it murder when you turn one off?
Some people with disabilities lack the mental capacity of a three year old child. Would it be okay to kill them for sport?
