Most restaurants are still offering low fat dishes that are loaded with carbs because that's what everyone thought they needed.
WTF? I thought America is the land of the big steak? Go to a restaurant and get yourself a 600g T-bone and skip on the fries and you won't need to worry about carbs.
Seriously though have a look at a typical restaurant menu. There's plenty of low carb things on the menu, and most of the dishes you'll find the carbs are in some ignorable sides anyway..... Unless you're at a Pizza Hut.
When you buy bread, it may be $2.50 per pound or more, and the weight includes the water in the bread. You can buy the flour used to make bread for $0.28, 28 cents per pound.
Did you amortise the time value of you cooking the bread and the electricity needed to run your oven?
The goal in life is not to do everything as cheaply as possible. I could build my own house for a small fraction of the cost of buying a place too. I don't because I want to do other things with my time.
Sidenote: I actually love cooking, but baking sucks badly. Give me an expensive cake from a patisary any day.
So what you're saying is there's an economic downside to not being in the bay area? At least you agree with my original point which was: downsides to not living in the bay area.
Unless you're suggesting that 100% of minorities in America are undeserved.
A wise man once said: "That's not how statistics work." I suggest you listen to him when crafting your response.
Or are you suggesting that as a minority you're not statistically likely to be underserved? Do you live in Boston by any chance? I mean they are the most racist up there.
So... being a minority, by definition, means you are underserved?
In America, statistically yes definitely.
Being the first person in your family to go to college means you are being underserved?
Definitely. Not having direct experience of your own parents to drawn on is a hindrance. In fact if you're the first generation in your family to go to college statistically you're poorer than your fellow students and less likely to be in a good college.
Again maybe you use shitty vendors. I for one have always gotten the CPU I selected when buying a laptop or desktop. Not an equivalent. Not a similar, but the exact model.
If they did what you were saying, they'd fall afoul of the law in my country. You see in most places of the world if the marketing doesn't match the real world data you end up in the deepest of shits.
America could really do with some consumer protection laws.
Not judging by the plenty of other comments in this section from people who have lived in an out of the bay area regarding how easily they found work and relative pay grades.
Some people I know set their car clocks a few minutes ahead to help them arrive on time.
Our office wall clock was set about 8 minutes out as it takes that long to walk to the building where all the meetings are held. Unfortunately that lead to the inevitable conversation "That clock is 8min fast, we still have time" and then would arrive late anyway.
Lots of past tense in this post since we got a new team member who while on night shift on his first week set the clock to the correct time and screwed us all over. Then he asked why we don't just leave 8min early and it appears it took someone to say it out aloud for everyone to realise how dumb the original idea was.
Running those "simple statistical techniques" is technologically feasible. Is it feasible fiscally? How much does it cost to run this analysis?
Well for a basic first pass you can upload the picture to any ELA online website. Though for courts they may want to do something more trustable like download free code from Github, or maybe even use one of the several open source forensic tools which are available. The same technique used for images works for video too though I'm not sure as many open source programs are around for it at this point.
The point is, it's not as hard as you make out, and the level of effort / expense is proportional to the crime being prosecuted, and as I said for the common idiot who ends up in court you're likely to find the quality of their handywork matches https://photoshoptroll.com/
The single variable solution is obvious. The multi-variable solution is far less so. When you move somewhere else are you going to be moving into a place where tech companies are falling over each other to recruit? Are you going to be getting the same money or will your new living place come with a new $60000 average yearly income instead of what you had?
You will probably earn a little bit less, but the cost of living will be much lower and the quality of life will almost certainly be much higher.
Probably is an understatement, and the quality of life can be a huge overstatement. Quality of life is determined exclusively by those people living it. Personally I couldn't think of anything worse than living outside of a major city.
On what basis? There is absolutely nothing in the GDPR that requires that companies share these specifics, only that the control lies in the users hands and that the sharing of information is consented to.
The costs are such that the only reason I would ever "subscribe" would be when I had a specific, acute need - and once that need was satisfied, probably after one month, I'd immediately cancel.
I did exactly this when it was announced that the plant I was working at was due to close and everyone was being made redundant. It was interesting being able to see which recruiters I dealt with were actively looking me up.
...will be from people who make money from the platform.
Does that include people who have actively gotten recruited and are now working for a company thanks to the jobs they got through LinkedIn?
I'd like to praise LinkedIn but I turned the the job I was offered after the final interview stage in favour of an internal promotion so I'm not on the take enough to recommend them.
A megaton is 1,000,000,000kg. A typical launch for example on a Falcon 9 produces 200,000kg. You're off by a factor of 10,000x.
placed even more space junk
Space junk serves no purpose. Therefore this isn't space junk.
into an already crowding upper atmosphere
There's a lot of upper atmosphere to put things into. Especially satellites that are carefully tracked and eventually re-enter and burn like the ones we are talking about here.
and lock the tax payers into a plan that will force them to spend millions of rollers to maintain and monitor that satellite
Oh noes! We can't science with taxpayer money. How would a rich state that represents the 5th largest economy in the world afford to science!
all to repeat the same data collection that NOAA is already doing now
Oooh oooh oooh. Given that there's been precisely zero technical details given so far you must have some inside knowledge. Please share all the technical details with us. Slashdot loves technical details almost as much as it loves making completely stupid and baseless assumptions!
What could go wrong is political wrangling introduces a mayor with a different view and instead decides to invest the pension fund in coal companies.
I just hope they don't invest in American companies offering climate change. The last thing you need is the New York City pension fund being destroyed by the Orangutan sitting in Washington.

Use Lynx, and leave the rest of us alone.
Perhaps their expectations were out of line?

You're racist if you think that statistically minorities are not underserved.
Or an idiot yourself. It's so hard to tell with stupid people on the internet.

Are you implying that having access to just one device makes you so stupid that you don't know what a computer is?
I know these people are underserved but calling them as stupid by comparing them to the Apple advert is just plain mean.

Yeah, nothing says die in pain like walking in front of someone's game.
Hahha That's the exact opposite of what I meant, but funny none the less :-)
Desertion
That would qualify for the gaming addicted.
So you pick one news outlet and posted a lot of examples of them not actually lying about anything?
I'm not sure you're trying to prove your point, but you've successfully succeed in proving mine.
Or do they get commissions on taxi dispatches? If it's the latter, then they're a taxi dispatch company.
They charge restaurants a commission. There you go, not a taxi dispatch company.

Cry me a river. There are decent tech jobs elsewhere.
But are there? Basic economic theory dictates there are not, at least not without considerable downsides.
The solution is obvious: move somewhere else.

Yeah you're missing a lot.
