actually according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics labor force participation did decrease during Obama's presidency, from about 65% to about 63%. Why it decreased, and why it decreased _then_ more than in the couple of years before (it appears to be essentially flat during Bush's second term), is of course up for discussion.
However, the same site's figures for Employment Level shows an increase in the absolute number of employed people (over 16) from 2010-2016, following a drop from 2008-2010, for a net increase overall. So we have a lowering percentage of the population linked to an increase in absolute numbers. Assuming there's not a definition mismatch, that would imply that employment growth is not keeping up with population growth.
oh, well, if we want to get into how it _should_ be, I can totally see your point of view. I was just trying to explain how the courts see it presently.
A confession is evidence that you did whatever you're confessing to. Your pin is not evidence that you did anything, it is only evidence that you know how to access the phone. If they already knew and could prove that you know how to access the phone, then providing the pin is not generating evidence against yourself and the 5th does not apply (according to my best understanding of current doctrine).
How does the enforcement of social contracts of approved behavior not qualify as socialistic (your definition above - "for the collective, at the expense of individual liberty")?
As I understand it, a troll is someone who puts up something (a vote, a post, whatever) for the specific purpose of pissing someone else off or harming them somehow, usually reputationally. I believe it was originally related to the fishing term, with the implication that the intent was to generate an angry reaction (see also flamebait). There's probably subtleties to the term that I'm missing, though.
The thing is, "dark matter" and "dark energy" are explaining different things, so they are not equivalent in the same way that everyday local matter and energy are.
The definition of "dark matter" is, in point of fact, "whatever it is that keeps galaxies from falling apart even though the outside spins faster than we think it should be able to". The definition of "dark energy" is "whatever it is that is causing distant galaxies to recede from us faster than we think they should".
Ahhh. I had heard the "religion is the opiate of the masses" before, but I had not grokked that the mental influence was as important (or more so) than the "keeps them distracted from their problems" part. Thanks!
From his statements, I would surmise that green1 isn't actually in the USA (use of km, the fact that there's no case between 1000km and "international", and the government mandated duopoly - USA has pretty much a triopoly, last I heard). Your points about fixating on local situations is well taken, however...
You appear to be making assumptions as to my opinion of the developer (I think he was a jerk; if he'd just said "we're sorry you don't like it and we'd be happy to issue you a refund", without refusing service, this would be a non-issue), and about my experience (it's been 20-something since I left high school, and I have worked in customer support in that time). My statement was solely about the assertion that "the customer is always right", and my experience is that while the customer was always right about whether they were happy, they were not always right about what could be done about it... and sometimes what would make them happy was just not doable. If you've never had that happen, you've been fortunate.
would you care to point to your reference for this proof? Because in (to pick a year at random) 1960 minimum wage was a buck, and harvard's tuition was $1520 per year (both from here). Certainly 1520 hours of work would not be trivial to wrap classes around, but it's still not even full time.
The latter may be indicative of a state of mind at the time of creating the password, but it is not (to me) indicative of actual intent to commit a crime. One of my past passwords was "iAmCh33seburger"; do you really think I think I'm a sandwich?
That's an interpretation I hadn't thought of. I just figured he had enough metal in him to be a decent antenna, and a good enough handle on their communication protocols to hack in and break something. I should rewatch and see if I can find any of those earlier hints you alluded to.
out of curiosity (and serious question - I'm looking at switching to a password manager and I'm looking for good practices) do you back up your password manager somehow so that if your computer craps out you don't wind up with both your passwords and the security questions you'd use to reset them being lost?
In science and engineering, the weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity.[1][2] Weight is a vector whose magnitude (a scalar quantity), often denoted by an italic letter W, is the product of the mass m of the object and the magnitude of the local gravitational acceleration g;[3] thus: W = mg. The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. (that wikipedia page I linked to you two posts back)
weight is force - your weight is the force you and the Earth are applying to each other. The equivalence of weight and mass on Earth exists only because it's convenient. On a different planet (or even a significant altitude difference on Earth) your mass is the same (kg) but your weight, the force imparted by gravity, is different (newtons).
You can have a force without weight, but with no force you have no weight, only mass.
This is true; I didn't take the triangle rule into account. But that just means equal losses is a best case, and may not be achievable anyway.
For what it's worth, I think the difficulties of working underwater are, in the long run, going to be smaller than the difficulty of working in back yards. So both factors would seem to lead towards the underwater storage.
I am somewhat concerned though, how this might affect marine life. I mean, surrounding the balls with a net to keep fish (above a certain size) from getting close enough to get sucked in is an obvious move, but small stuff can still get sucked in... then again, I guess that's something the engineering is going to have to consider. If these are going to be useful they're going to be moving water a lot.

so for a sufficiently small infringement on liberty it doesn't count as socialist, then. What's the exact demarcation?
How does the enforcement of social contracts of approved behavior not qualify as socialistic (your definition above - "for the collective, at the expense of individual liberty")?
Nor, anywhere in the actual definition (the first sentence) does it require combustion. "pushes fluid thataway fast" is all it's got, really.

Remember, the movie wasn't based on the book - it was developed under a different title and then changed for name recognition.

Small startups probably wouldn't get charged at all, and if they did, the charges would be lost in the noise.
I am curious as to how you justify these assumptions.

what's new about it? Even ancient Rome had circuses.

The only thing the customer is _always_ right about is whether the customer is happy.
If he'd personally reached out to the customer, and fixed his problem, the customer would be on Amazon with all 5s.
Maybe, maybe not - unprovable either way.
Eh. The link may be to stackoverflow, but they could also have linked to wikipedia, youtube, infoworld or Joshua Bloch's Effective Java. Would you have classified those as "trendy techbro"?

how is 77 bits of entropy weak? (6 words chosen independently from a 7776 word dictionary) Or are you thinking of a different diceware than this one?

Not all force is weight, but weight is force. When you stand on a scale what it's measuring is the force of gravity on you.
