    Superchargers provide half a charge in as little as 20 minutes and are strategically placed to allow owners to drive from station to station with minimal stops.

    You would have to make the case that autism is inherently bad for the human race, and that is not established yet.

    And why we WON'T evolve much anymore, we are no longer isolated groups of humans, and we are enforcing conformity where before it was would autistic survive in the wild or not?

    I suspect that severe ones would not, while mild or mid level ones might survive in the form of holy men, oracles, etc....

    My son is autistic too.

    With the right combination of Physical Therapy, Speech therapy, and Occupation Therapy over the last 7 years, he is almost indistinguishable from a "normal" person. He is not that much different from your average geeky kid, except his short term memory is like a database with broken indexing: it is all there, but he has to really work to get it out. If you supply a prompt, the data floods back out of him at a surprising rate.

    So far, his only real social setback is he has NO IDEA that all the girls around him adore him. Kid is putting out some sort of weapons grade pheromone or something.

    He came home the other day with some cool looking knotting thing going on. Asked him about it, turns out the girl who is the top of the social pecking order in his class saw his shoe untied. She offered to tie it for him at lunch, spent half of lunch break redoing the lacing.

    I don't think he will have any problems passing on his genes.

  19. Re:Sorry, this is Fox on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 1

    You have it wrong. The AGW is the "dissenting" view. The null hypothesis is that the earth is not warming.

    AGW believers have to prove the Null, not the other way round.

  20. Re:Sorry, this is Fox on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 1

    See, the null hypothesis is that the earth is NOT warming, so there is no proof needed.

    Since the evidence shows the Null as supported, and the models do not match the evidence, there is no need for proof.

    You have to disprove the Null in the scientific method.

  22. Re:all of IT needs an union on Startup Employees As an Organized Labor Group · · Score: 1

    No.

    I keep moving. At a relatively "old" age of mid 40s I have a position where no one else does what I do, and I could probably do it for as long as I like and bring a good salary.

    Instead, I am leaving this comfort zone and taking on bigger and more risky opportunities... and bigger payoffs.

    Either way, I stay more relevant than if I take the safer option and stay put.

  23. Re:lol, yeah, overpaid techies need a union on Startup Employees As an Organized Labor Group · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, I work for one of those collusion companies.

    To go work for one of the other big "pre interent" companies I would likely get hired.

    Post internet? Maybe amazon, not Google, for sure. Not many start ups either, unless they wanted a "greybeard" for a reason.

    They would see the culture as incomparable, and I would tend to agree. I have a very ingrained "don't risk your production environment" viewpoint, and while I can and do step past it all the time, it is definitely not as compatible with a fast moving tech start up.

    I don't think it is flooded.

    It is more likely a mismatch between skillsets if you can't find a job.
