Look at my post history, especially to the response to some of my post, it has been very evident that American has been brainwashed by the left-wing mainstream media.
Even in Hong Kong their little-left rights and freedom are being taken away piece by piece. Imagine what China will be if everyone is armed. Do you think the Tienanmen Square incident would happen?
The Second Amendment of the U.S constitution is ratified by the founding fathers for a reason, they foresee this happening.
We are the citizens of the New Age. We are self-sufficient, or have the mentality to be self-sufficient. There are always evil, particularly from a certain ethnicity, who try to enslave the rest of the population.
Real freedom can only be fought, not given. Libertarians and alike is the only bastion of human rights, democracy and freedom.
The problem is those jobs (and tech/STEM jobs in general) are heavily concentrated in certain geographical regions (West coast & Northeast). When companies start shunning telecommuting it will be even harder to find jobs.
This may be a conspiracy to drive up the real estate market of those regions.
I used a handful of OCZ vertex 2's (back then it was like $3 per GB) in a couple of servers (in enterprise setting) for almost three years. Still running.
I also own four vertex 4's in a RAID 10 setup, all four drive still running after a year.
Either there is a incredible bad luck streak, or there is some abuse going on. The first and only SSD failure I have come across is a 120GB Intel X25-m.
A quadrillion-dollar platinum coin will achieve the same results while strengthening our military, eliminate individual and business income tax, single payer health insurance, cover all unfunded suitabilities, instant debt pay off, and larger government to absorb all those unemployed (A guaranteed national employment plan), with money left over.

School attendance is compulsory in HK til the equivalent of 12th grade, it is just what kind of school you are getting to. The crappiest "chamber of commerce" schools are mostly free, similar to the prestigious public ones. The one that has tuition are international schools and schools founded by religious organizations.
That obviously produce segregation, but it is probably the most efficient use of resources.
Being live in Hong Kong for a considerable amount of time, I can certify what the GP said is very true... Public, directly funded schools are the HARDEST to get into (besides international schools), and produce standardized exam scores that are usually in the top 10%, more than 80% of the graduates goes to HKU, CUHK, Peking, Tsinghua or going overseas.
The second tier of schools are those that are funded by religious organizations, be it a catholic, protestant, baptist and buddhist.
The crappiest school are usually operated and funded by some local "chamber of commerce" who only get involved in education to make them appear "philanthropic".
Another thing, within Hong Kong there is no geographical restriction on which school you can apply, although spaces are usually given priority to those who live within their own district.
is a great example if you want to see age discrimination, yet there are where most of the STEM jobs are.
Quite frankly, agism exist because the managers/owners/business leaders have no idea (or just being lazy) on how to utilize the exceptional experience of the 40+ years old. It takes a special type of manager to manage a team full of superstars. Your local MBA PHB is not going to cut it.
It used to be that, companies avoid employing older aged people due to potential high health-care cost, but Obamacare pretty much fixed this (by either turning them into contract workers, or just report them as 29-hour workers.... you don't need to pay for their healthcare.)
