oh shut up. Why do you think it would be a weapon? what do you know about teleporting mass? have you a clue o the energy involved. Please, show your math to back up your statement. IT would e a great work that would need to show how to teleport thing far i advance of what anyone can even theoretically do.
"noting that the research did not document that cognitive distraction leads to crashes. Conversely, physical activities, such as reaching for a phone, texting or reading emails while driving do create distractions that cause collisions."
Why can't anybody do a good study on this? must studies start based on a study that came to it's numbers just by assumption, not actual data. Other studies don't take into account what is too much distraction., just that there was a distraction. They don't take into account how 'deep' the distraction is' That don't baseline against normal driving; which is also full of distraction, they don't take into account the fact that people aren't even really paying attention after about 11 minutes.Even tho' they thing they are paying attention.
"..unsuited to benefit from higher education...." nope. Everyone can benefit. TO what extent can vary, but education makes people better thinkers, and better people because you begin to understand there are other Points of view and concepts that are just as valid as yours. That means its harder to create a 'them'.
You can do both. I would strongly recommend anyone going ito a trad to gar a Liberal of Arts degree.
It exposes people do different ways of thinking, exposes them to arts and sciences, and give a greater opportunity to gain critical thinking skills. All of which makes life better.
"Psychology majors with only a BS." we don't need more people who can't finish a program.
That said, there isn't a damn thing wrong with going to school and learning something you find interesting, regardless of the paycheck.
" Saddam Hussein failed to fulfill his cease-fire obligations " Only in the most technical way. He was fine, he was bottled up, sanctions were working. It would have been better to make a slow move.
However, I really think if we were going to invade, then yes we should have taken the country and made is US territory.
Clearly you don't go to the tech subreddits. Far more intellectual discourse. I heard nothing but bad things for years. Finally I went and checked it out. Whole discussion, informative, no politics, not sudden change in topic.
Not only is a werewolf a myth, but so is the idea of a silver bullet solution . unless you want to drink horrid beer. Life's really too short for that nonsense.
"We've lived beyond our means for too long and we're just now beginning to see the results." No, we haven't. Stop following for ignorant scare mongering.
"We've lived beyond our means for too long and we're just now beginning to see the results." well, it's been getting better overall .
Hey, how about you study up of macro economics, and government economics? Or just bitch like some ignorant fool.
Every time I hear that I think the same thing: "Hey look, another knucklehead who doesn't actually pay attention to politics but says what ever group think crap he pulls out of his ass so he can feel important."
Google is a business. The revenue we generate is derived from offering search technology to companies and from the sale of advertising displayed on our site and on other sites across the web. Hundreds of thousands of advertisers worldwide use AdWords to promote their products; hundreds of thousands of publishers take advantage of our AdSense program to deliver ads relevant to their site content. To ensure that we’re ultimately serving all our users (whether they are advertisers or not), we have a set of guiding principles for our advertising programs and practices:
We don’t allow ads to be displayed on our results pages unless they are relevant where they are shown. And we firmly believe that ads can provide useful information if, and only if, they are relevant to what you wish to find–so it’s possible that certain searches won’t lead to any ads at all.
We believe that advertising can be effective without being flashy. We don’t accept pop–up advertising, which interferes with your ability to see the content you’ve requested. We’ve found that text ads that are relevant to the person reading them draw much higher clickthrough rates than ads appearing randomly. Any advertiser, whether small or large, can take advantage of this highly targeted medium.
Advertising on Google is always clearly identified as a “Sponsored Link,” so it does not compromise the integrity of our search results. We never manipulate rankings to put our partners higher in our search results and no one can buy better PageRank. Our users trust our objectivity and no short-term gain could ever justify breaching that trust."
You could say that means they aren't optimized strictly for shareholder value;which is correct.
Of course, the better google is in the public eye, the more there value increases as well.
Not everything is money. Most service provider treat there employees like shit, and pay them like shit. Google has decided that it wasn't right, and brought them on board. At a raise in salary and benefits.
"why does it matter how they are employed?" Are you 8 years old? do you think everyone gets the same pay and benefits?
Bring services in means more control, the actor will a have a higher degree of agency, lead to less disenfranchisement, and they will develop a better repoire with the coworkers.

A virus is far outside the quantum world and firmly in the macro world.
Since we have NO idea what teleportation entails, you're statement hold exactly zero(0) weight.
Natlieportation is another matter.
Ship's captain's hair. Gone . no.. oh wait.
Yes, that never, ever, happened before cell phones.
Thank you for reminding my how stupid and anti star trek that show was.

hat has nothing to do with college and everything to do with motivation, or some outside factor.
There is no reason someone with those degrees should be making under 6 figures.
Of course, if he lives is Iowa, and you live in the bay area, he is better off.
" Saddam Hussein failed to fulfill his cease-fire obligations "
Only in the most technical way. He was fine, he was bottled up, sanctions were working. It would have been better to make a slow move.

", his spectacular failure "
name a failure.
Because Bush was trying to show his daddy he was a real man, and could actually succeed at something.
Why do you think Only America is fighting it?
Post wwI Germany, yes.

move to reddit. It has far more engaging and thoughtful places to discuss technology.
Seriously.
we didn't screw over half the world. We made them extremely rich. There issue is that small group kept almost all the money, and that's not our fault.
Duuurrr. It's hard, so nuke them. Herp Derp.
Not only is a werewolf a myth, but so is the idea of a silver bullet solution .

Yeah, some gave him something he didn't ask for, what a bastard.
OTOH, since by every measure things are better, you really don't have anything to bring up.
"We've lived beyond our means for too long and we're just now beginning to see the results."
No, we haven't. Stop following for ignorant scare mongering.

You don't know what that means.

Common fallacy.
Not every move needs to be about shareholder value. That is only the case if their mission statement is:
"Every move is to optimize shareholder earning regardless of the damage it does to people."
Example from https://www.google.com/about/c...:
"You can make money without doing evil.
