Why commit to something you grow to despise? Why endure misery? High divorce rate is a direct result of freedom of choice without being blamed by society. In the past, this (divorce) was severely restricted by religion and society. It could have gotten you killed in vast regions of the planet. It still can, here and there.
Everyone is free to start a marathon and everyone is free to abandon it if they realize they hate it. Take a bottle of wine, for example. The label is nice, all's good, but you open it and taste it and it's vinegar. According to you, you should drink it all because fuck preference. Your happiness, your well-being don't matter, you committed to drinking that bottle of wine when you opened, now suck it up and down the hatch with it. Come on, don't be shy!
Divorce rate is so high... is that a bad thing? Maybe it should have been high in the first place and nowadays we're reaching normal counts. People are in debt? Good. It's a very effective way of maintaining slavery within the law. CEOs from around the world, rejoice!
Neither of which being "of the last 100 years". The Romans had running water and toilets. Electricity was used in the 1800s (DC mostly but it was used nevertheless).
I have it, never got shitty notifications, only buggy ones. Somehow Google got this Google Maps weird setting in its head and notifies me on a daily basis about how congested the route from home to work is. Now, it would be a nice thing to have, except: 1. I have no idea how it got enabled; 2. It notifies me at 8 AM but my shift starts at 5 PM. 3. I have no idea how to edit or disable it.
The technology has potential, if implemented correctly. IMO its implementation was a fucking catastrophe.
Maybe I didn't make myself understood. Joe Plumber is not kept out, it's him who doesn't want to go there because he knows he won't feel comfortable there.
Or, rather simply, based on what you do for a living. The ST Alliance is a pure meritocracy. Elite restaurants would not allow patrons based on "how much money do you have" but rather "how high placed you are based on merit". There are other things to be considered. People would simply know their place. Joe the Happy Plumber would never think about going to a prestigious restaurant because he knows he doesn't belong purely on a merit scale. It's a common sense thing.
Today, on Earth, we have Jack the Filthy Rich Redneck (who owns a slaughterhouse chain) going to an elite restaurant and covering himself with ridicule, yet he won't give a flying fuck because he can literally suffocate everyone in there under $100 bills. In the Star Trek Universe, he would just be Jack the Filthy Redneck who's been given a couple cows and knows that it's all he deserves based on merit - and be happy about it.
(How did they decide who was allowed to eat at Sisko's dad's restaurant? How did they decide who got to live in a sweet penthouse overlooking the Golden Gate bridge, and who had to commute to Starfleet Headquarters via transporter from Iowa? How did they allocate holodeck use? You know a significant fraction of the population would want to spend 24/7/365 in there...)
I guess it could all have been merit-based. But you'd need one heck of an algorithm to manage that.
How about saving 450M off military spending right now and do the damn Asteroid Research with it? Just sayin'. 450M can be saved by having each American donate 1.5 dollars once to research. One less cheap beer this month would pretty much cover it for two people.
Let's see: - Global Warming: High chance, high risk, slow action. Will happen over generations (5+). - Killer viruses (I assume you added bacteria as well): Low chance, low risk, slow or fast action. I'd bump it down significantly. - Rogue black holes: frankly they fall into the same category as asteroids (celestials dangerous to us) - Rogue artificial intelligence: Pah-lease. That's coming after global warming takes care of all of us:) - Aliens: I'd lump them into "celestials dangerous to us". - Gamma Ray Bursts: Low chance, extreme risk, unknown probability and no way to avoid. I'd plaster the "shit happens" tag on it and pray shit doesn't happen. It's the most we can do. - Giant solar flares: Medium chance, medium risk, no way to avoid. See "Gamma Ray Bursts". - Magnetic field reversal: "Still, there is no evidence that a weakened magnetic field would result in a doomsday for Earth. During past polarity flips there were no mass extinctions or evidence of radiation damage." (source: http://www.scientificamerican....). High chance, low risk, it's not a Mass Extinction Event. Also, we can do nothing about it. - Supervolcanoes: Medium chance (it WILL happen), high risk, fast action. If the year without a summer tells us something, it tells us it would be bad. Bumped up, deserves funding. - Biotech disaster: lumped together with Killer viruses. - Nanotechnology: are we getting that far? Maybe. Deserves funding. - Particle accelerator chain reaction: wasn't this scientifically dismantled many times over? - Divine Intervention: "God Help Us All!" is all the funding this deserves.
If I now have a barrier to reading my books then the device is not as worthwhile to me.
No you don't. You have an inconvenience but not a barrier. You're not stopped from opening any book from your SD card, you only lack some functionality such as indexing the books stored there. TFA says you can manually navigate to the book location and tap it and it would load in the Kindle app just fine.
You're looking at it incorrectly. India is 3 times as large in terms of population. The people pool is simply larger, which means that make the "highly" in "highly skilled" high enough and there would be someone in India with better skills (on paper) than someone in the USA.
Mind you, that simple metric does not account for cultural clash, language barrier, etc. That's where the problem is. Effectiveness on the job is not only hard skills, but soft skills too. A person from India who is 10% better in hard skills or hands-on experience might overall be 30% worse when you account for soft skills (conversational, social, cultural affinity, etc).
Disclaimer: I am not from the USA, nor am I from India, but I work with people from both countries (any many others).
I really like working in IT - it's good to have a job where you're using your brain every day instead of just churning out reports or something similar.
Ahem, I work in IT and I am churning out reports. I am discriminated by your post! I SUE YOU!!!
None of which explain what exactly is the loophole. "There's a loophole there" - is all I could get. the WSJ article is paywalled. Any ideas? IANAL so, to me, it's a mystery.

Because there might be better tools out there.
Sticking with fire and a cave works well enough... until you realize something better awaits discovery.
I'd go with Notepad++ for simplicity and FreeMind for feature list.

Now, to answer the submitter: Notepad++.
Actually that's a sound advice if read as it should: "You try it and see. We'll wait."
"This is where Bruce Bugbee, director of the Plants, Soils & Climate Department at Utah State University, enters the picture."
The guy should really take over the Entomology Department.
It's an industry based on a computer game.
Much like professional boxing became an industry based on a sparring game.

could beam that power back to us.
How?

Those choices are offensive. .bro for male users and .ho for female users. That way, everyone's happy.
For gender equality, I propose a dual extension.
You apply a subset of Psychohistory.

Population of India was 1.252 Billion in 2013. I guess there should be some zOS programmers there as well.

Install NoMachine and find out.
I had about 80ms over normal Internet and about 160ms average through a HTTP proxy. Image quality was pretty good.
All others are replacement #1, replacement #2, etc. until they run out of people.
