> just hit for a $289 million jury verdict [nytimes.com] in the first of thousands of Roundup-gave-me-cancer lawsuits
I know a guy who has been warning for years about Roundup and its cancer-effects on humans (and killing of bees that pollinate our food). His name was Alex Jones (and colleagues) but the Monsanto-sponsored companies like Apply, Google, Facebook, etc have banned him from speaking.
Have you thought some of those programs (vi, emacs) are obsolete today? In one interview I had a manager list all the CLI commands I use in Modelsim. Fortunately I had a good memory, but after I listed several routine commands I said:
"Honestly I just use the dropdown menus now, or drag cursors on the simulation window to inspect waveforms. It's faster and easier than typing a string of commands."
> I've heard of boys being told that cooking and even book clubs are not for them, due to toxic ideas of what masculinity is a
Even if a boy grows his hair long, below his shoulder, he gets told "You need to get a cut... you look like a girl." Teachers, preachers, random audlts, fellow classmates/bullies. There's nothing more natural than long hair (for both sexes) but our society won't allow it.
> $125K in annual compensation (inclusive of insurance and benefits)
That's a bit misleading. If I included benefits into my engineer salary, I could claim $200,000 a year.... which goes back to the main point: Teachers are underpaid (75,000 less) compared to other professions with Bachelor degrees.
I cannot watch movies or listen to audiobooks with those 2 careers. As an engineer, I can.
> I think many women have figured this out.
I read one time that most women choose careers they LIKE and enjoy (such as healthcare), whereas most men choose careers they don't really like, but they know the higher pay will support a wife + kids.
You might want to read this article. If companies do not comply with China's laws then they will not be allowed into the country. That means turning-down 1300 million users.
- Jack Poulson says "I was compelled to resign my position on August 31, 2018, in the wake of a pattern of unethical and unaccountable decision making from company leadership."
FOX is usually considered "centrist" in most media studies (while CNN, NBC are "left") so there's no reason to prosecute FOX.

The U.S. EPA went and measured the other diesel cars (re-tested them). Mercedes, BMW, Chevrolet all passed with flying colors, since they actually had the Urea/NOx neutralization system installed. They continue to be sold, since they are legally compliant.
Ditto over-the-road truck makers who use the same tech to keep freight trucks clean..... all passed EPA standards.
> Uber didn't introduce tipping until about a year ago.
Really dude? I know most of us use credit or debit cards, but surely you've heard of CASH tips. I'd hand my Uber drivers an extra $5 bill.
> you would have seen that the trip was still active on your phone.
Nah I went straight to bed, and did not check my phone until the next morning, which is when I saw my trip was listed as Garden Grove to Santa Ana (legit) and then Pasadena (not legit).
The driver CAN charge you extra if there's a "hole" in the Uber app's design. When I checked my app the next day, it said the Driver took me from Garden Grove to Santa Ana, and then from Santa Ana to Pasadena.
The first part was a legitimate trip. The second part was the driver illegally extending the trip beyond its original destination, and charging me for it ($120 extra).
- Now that was 2015... perhaps this flaw has been closed, but it definitely existed back then, and since Uber refused to refund me, I refused to continue my business with them.
LOL! It's the new McCarthyism, and ironically it was brought by the people in Northern California and Hollywood (who had been victims of McCarthy's blacklisting).
(1) Their "real" income after expenses puts them below minimum wage ($9.20 an hour). I felt sorry for them. They could work at a restaurant or store and earn better income.
(2) I say "used to" because one of those drivers I gave a generous tip, then proceeded to charge me for HIS drive from Santa Ana to Pasadena. I figured it was a mistake. BUT THEN Uber told me, "The driver says he took your girlfriend home, so that was the cause for the extra charge. No refund."
Problem: No girlfriend. I lost $120, and immediately erased Uber's app since that's not the kind of company I want to do business with.
If I type "Pizzagate" it's because I want to find information about that topic (both against and for the conspiracy).
Logically Safari (and Bing and Google) should show me what's available, rather than make it invisible.
I want to see ALL the possible websites, not just the ones Apple of Microsoft or Google thinks is "safe" for my consumption.
There is no hole in the ozone. "The ozone hole is not technically a hole where no ozone is present, but is actually a region of exceptionally depleted ozone in the stratosphere." - https://ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.g...
Similarly there's no Great Garbage Patch in the Pacific Ocean: "Dr Angelicque White, Associate Professor at Oregon State University, who has studied the âgarbage patchâ(TM) in depth, said: âoeThe use of the phrase âgarbage patchâ(TM) is misleading . I'd go as far as to say that it is a myth and a misconception....... It is not visible from space; there are no islands of trash; it is more akin to a diffuse soup of plastic floating in our oceans.." - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sc...
Carbon dioxide is what our plants need to respire (else they'd die and we'd starve). I also grew-up surrounded by farms. The methane from the cows & the manure never caused me any harm.
- Here are the pollutants that Actually damage human lungs and deserve the label "dangerous": Nitric oxides (breaks-down to ground-level ozone), Carbon monoxide, Particulate matter (soot), and unburnt hydrocarbons (gasoline).
I suspect it's actually the politicians who are more concerned. Social security and other elderly-welfare programs rely on a young working class to keep providing money.
But with fewer youngsters being born & getting jobs, that means less money to give the elders. Some politicians, like those in Japan, have started handing money to couples if they have 2nd or 3rd children. (Like an inverse of China's one-baby policy.)
Short term that solves the politicians' problem. Long term it continues the overpopulation problem that will use-up the world's resources (and soil the nest with pollution).
Power plant pollution can (and is) neutralized with catalytic converters, NOX neutralizers, and particle filters. The output is zero.
Climate change is a real thing, but survivable. The dinosaurs and proto-mammals lived in a period of global warming (with no ice on the poles) and thrived.
Nice USA bash. "America is the suck." HOWEVER the 1st world includes the European Union and Japan, both of whom are shutting-down nuclear plants (after the 2011 earthquake released a bunch of radioactivity).
Myst didn't impress me too much. It reminded me of Activision's text-graphics adventure Mindshadow (1984) which also had lots of still images, and puzzles to solve.
Of course people brand-new to PC computing had no idea about the older pre-crash games. To them it was a new experience (even though it really wasn't).
I thought later efforts like ICO were far more impressive and fun (thanks to random battles).
No Pyst came 3 years after Myst, so it's only 22. I like the description from wikipedia: "The basic concept of Pyst was to show what Myst Island (from the best-selling game) would look like after four million people (players) had visited....... the island is full of litter, most of the buildings are ruined, and graffiti reveals secret doors and solutions to puzzles that challenged players in Myst."
I guess you've forgotten about NASA's mars rovers, lunar mapping probes, and the NEAR satellite that visited the asteroid Eros. They were the result of a new philosophy:

> I would rather shovel sludge in sewers then work in sales or marketing.
Huh. I worked sales at JCpenney for 10 years. I worked in a clean, air conditioned environment, and met tons of beautiful young ladies.
I would definitely not trade that for shoveling sludge.
