LOL. Sometimes I wonder how anyone lives with themselves working for a company like Accenture. And yet so many people do. Really undermines my limited faith in humanity.
I favor people being completely free to do anything that has no impact on shared resources. So build all the coal plants you want, as long as they don't vent to our shared atmosphere. Build a pipeline, but if it spills, you better have insurance sufficient to pay for the worst case cleanup effort. Etc. It's really all pretty straightforward and sane if you think about it.
As I always say: the level of your charity is defined by how much you have left when you're done. A poor man with two dollars who gives one is far more generous than a rich man with 40 billion who gives 39 billion.
If your planet is too cold, it is because it is too far from the star. If it is too far from the star, it isn't getting tidal heating either. This legitimately puts a cap only on one end of the range.
Unless you are very rich and can afford a $40K printer, you want to have these done by a service. I don't know who has the best balance of price and quality right now, though, I just know you can't cheaply buy yourself good quality self printing.
I assume this is a brand of reverse astroturfing. The goal is to make Gamemaker so hated (and reverse-google-bombed) that people will be able to find and to pay for a competitor.
I buy the quality CFLs too. I'm pretty sure the power quality kills them because my temperature range is pretty mild and I still have them dying pretty quickly (inside the warranty, but I'm replacing them with LEDs as they go).
And the good news is... they seem to last longer than the CFLs. I was an early adopter (curiosity mostly), and in my home that was a torture test for CFLs (I have only a few CFLs that have made it over two years so far), I have several LED bulbs and zero burnouts so far.
No, we have enough evidence to know that isn't true. There are plenty of galaxies visible with the wrong masses to tell us that if the universe is curved the curvature doesn't loop within the size of the visible universe.
Yes, I was referring to the high growth rate. Doubling the Chinese GDP will take (at least) another 10 years, bringing them to 14.5T. The US economy, even at 2% will be 18.2T by that time.
It will probably be worse for the Chinese, though. They are now making use of basically all their natural resources. They have dams on all their rivers for power (no more dams for power to fuel growth), they have mines on every pile of coal (they can't just build a new coal mine, they have to learn to mine faster now).
So personally, my bet is on it taking them more like 15-20 years to double their economy. And that by the end of that time their growth rate will have fallen to a level close enough to the US rate that they'll never make up the remaining gap.
The Chinese economy has peaked. Jobs are beginning to leave China for cheaper locations. Their economy may double in size one more time, which will still leave it smaller than the US economy.
Seconded. I hire a lot of people, and every resume I've seen in the last 5 years has contained at least a handful of lies. If I didn't hire anyone with a lie on their resume, our company would have gone nowhere.
The high salaries paid to CEOs are usually to compensate for them having to live their lives quite so immorally, at least in part. I don't expect (and have never been disappointed) any CEO to have any moral fiber.
Most companies I know of will not fire employees for resume lies. They will seek to fire employees for other reasons, and discover resume lies as one ironclad reason to do so. But a competent employee whose resume lie came to light for another reason? They'd get a formal admonishment in their record for doing so, which would create a window of about a year where a justified dismissal could be done if needed, but assuming they continued to be competent? Hardly anyone would let them go.

Entirely true. Though at that end of the scale, I'd make an argument about harm done to acquire the billions vs good done with them.

It would probably be pretty easy to greasemonkey them out of existence. Maybe someone has a script that does it to share.

Chances are good that the light quality from your $15 60 watt bulb is not competitive with phillips.

A lot of these bulbs do come with multiyear warranties. Phillips has a 6 year warranty on these bulbs according to home depot:

Yeah, someone else pointed out that Os is cheap because it's useless. I substitute tungsten (60,000 tons) as my proposed cheap starter material.

I'd use the preferred language for the kind of project you want to work on. If you just want to be employable, learn java.
I certainly agree that there are any number of technologies on the horizon which could dramatically disrupt the price of gold.
It's state by state, and what claims you can make vary.

I'm curious too. I've never been asked for proof, whether applying to companies big or small.
They will take a long time to die. Long enough to earn good retirement money over a decade if they pay you two or three times the industry average.

There are specific legal consequences to practicing medicine without a license, and the employer would be liable. That is not true in most fields.
