90s. He did all sort of aromatherapy, American Indian stuff, etc., and had people calling him night and day to ask if it was OK to eat this or that. Of course, he sold all sorts of homeopathic remedies for anything and everything. I ended up at a restaurant with him and some friends and shortly after dinner he lit up a cigarette. I asked him how he could be advising people all day long on how to stay healthy and then light up a cigarette. With a straight face he said "the stress of quitting smoking would cause him more harm the smoking itself causes".
You say the same crap that's been used to justify weapons stockpiles for decades. How much government tyranny is it going to take for you guys to start actually defending all our/your freedoms? With all the crap the NSA, TSA, FBI, and all the other three letter agencies do, you'd think we'd have had a civil war long ago. You guys keep on saying you need your guns to protect from government tyranny and yet it increases day by day.
"American's quite simply will not tolerate infringements." What a joke! Apparently even heavily armed Americans will tolerate infringements as long as they get to buy guns and spout right wing bullshit all over the airwaves and internet.
You guys keep saying that and yet we have the NSA snooping into everything we do on a phone or on line. The TSA practically strip searches anyone getting on a commercial flight. How much tyranny does it take for all you guys to start doing something about it?
by the fast food companies. They load the food with genetically engineered microbes that kill off and replace the microbes that normally populate our guts. These microbes bear payloads of prions that can pass the blood-brain barrier and target the pleasure centers in the brain causing us to become addicted to the fast food. This causes us to gain weight. The pharmaceutical companies are in on the plot in order to sell more diabetes and other obesity-related health problem medications.
The real shock will come when we learn that true masters of the fast food companies and pharmaceutical companies are actually aliens from another planet who are fattening us up like so many cattle, before they come en mass to slaughter us for food.
No. Because the former employer in silicon valley probably depends on their internet connection for their business and cutting that connection will cause them a big problem and cost them a lot of money.
Why would it have anything to do with cable workers?
my 86 YO father decides he doesn't need the cable company for anything but internet access.
Just this week my father told me he wants to put antennas on two TVs, switch to prepaid cell phone only, and shut off the TV and phone service he gets from the cable company.
Big companies get subsidies in the form of tax breaks all the time.
They bitch about taxes, get a deal, then they bitch because the schools aren't churning out worker robots with the necessary skills- schools that would be funded by the taxes the big corps aren't paying.
There'll be war, there'll be peace. But everything one day will cease. All the iron turned to rust; All the proud men turned to dust. And so all things, time will mend. So this song will end
There is so much free stuff available (so I've heard;) ), how does anyone make any money with it at all? Who pays for porn with so much free stuff available? Is porn just advertising for the actors who engage in for-hire sex with anyone with adequate funds? Are us poor slobs just enjoying the commercials while the rich guys get the real stuff?
They poached engineers for their battery expertise, yet my wife has to keep charging her iPhone a couple time each day?
Look at all the iCrap portable "chargers" that have a bigger battery to be used to charge up iPhones (or maybe I am thrown off by the "i" they put on the names of these things and the Apple compatible cables they come with). If Apple had the battery figured out that whole cottage industry would not exist. It seems like Apple is in desperate need of help with batteries and they sure didn't get whatever they paid for by hiring this company's employees.
Returned to school at 46 YO, 2 years of prerequisites followed by 4 years of dental school. $150k in student loans at 6.8%.
Dentistry is exactly the opposite of engineering. My work is appreciated by my patients, and I get respect. They can't send my job to China/India/wherever because they can't send my patients to China/India/wherever. Pay is a little more than I made as an engineer and growing rapidly.
I just wish the ADA wasn't so far to the right on the political spectrum...
"They have decades of experience (and specialist knowledge), they have a healthy disregard for office politics (but can still manage, when necessary), they're available, and they're (generally) stable."
but they have lives outside of work, are too highly paid, and refuse to work 80 hours per week any more. New grads, on the other hand, have no life outside work, can be easily manipulated into 80 hour weeks, and will work for 1/2 the pay and bennies that the 40 YO wants. The HR and accounting people do the math: two new grads will work 80 hours for the same pay one 40 YO will accept for working a 40 hour week. That 40 YO guy may be more productive than either of those grads but he can't keep up with two of them working twice as long as he does. See ya! I wouldn't want to be ya!
Laser cutting and even 3D printing can be smelly operations. If you want to do some wood working, or have a metal shop, things can get pretty noisy. Forget about forges and blacksmithing. Aside from the noise, makerspaces can be pretty dirty- a lot of what goes on makes dust that might not be good for the contents of a library.

When is this revolt of your's going to happen?
Yeah, that's what I thought.

Both are playgrounds for very rich people. Everyone else suffers.

THAT is what should be investigated!
The company whose entire business is based on selling overpriced cables to phools is accusing another company of fraud?
No. Because the former employer in silicon valley probably depends on their internet connection for their business and cutting that connection will cause them a big problem and cost them a lot of money.
Why would it have anything to do with cable workers?
whose job was replaced by an H1B worker? There must be thousands of them in silicon valley, all with motive.
backdoor into the encryption. It's only a matter of time before hackers locate it and fling it open to let the animals in.
There are no secrets. There is no privacy.
Keep a working system in storage for future use along with copies of software that runs on it including OS, etc., on archival disks.
because the truth is all there is...

any more. Maybe we should challenge them to a prayer race instead...
No, I don't have much time for either. I'm too busy saving the world, one tooth at a time.
Was that Monty Python?
As a dentist I find your post quite amusing...
"Jony is one of the most talented and accomplished designers of his generation, with an astonishing 5,000 design and utility patents to his name."
How many of those did he actually do any work on and how many were done by his team at Apple and assigned to him (and Apple, of course)?
This is why people still think that big, important things still get invented by a single guy working in his garage. Pfft!
There is so much free stuff available (so I've heard ;) ), how does anyone make any money with it at all?
Who pays for porn with so much free stuff available?
Is porn just advertising for the actors who engage in for-hire sex with anyone with adequate funds?

Oh yeah? Sez you! I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you. Plplplpl Take that! hah!

2B more people will need a lot of doctors, dentists, and lawyers.
