If you were as smart as you think you are you'd be ruthlessly putting yourself on the correct side of that divide for the sake of your offspring because it will be nearly impossible to cross it by the time a child born today has grandchildren unless something major changes.
Please explain your stance that the problem is correcting itself. I think this is denial so you don't have to man up.
Your work is valuable when your mistakes cost more than your salary and you have to make them constantly to get fired.....Unless you do something spectacular.
I know this will shock you, AEtna is doing even better than gold which we all know is the holy grail of investing./s The insurance companies are ripping people off genius.
Heh everything on amazon costs about the same in seattle as ohio. Difference is a dollar feels like spending a penny and it's on my doorstep 2 hours later.... and unless the market is taking a dive my 401k earns more than median pay in the city I left.
Stallman's judgement should be second guessed but he's almost always at least on the right track. You have to add a dash of pragmatism and a coat of PR to Stallman before presenting him for public consumption. I used to think he was a smart guy embarrassing the open source movement in negative ways but I think that FOSS is getting taken seriously enough these days. No harm no foul just stop eating your foot-flakes, at least in public.
The thing about Stallman and so many of the good guys is that they don't much care for power. That's why we should be listening to them. At the same time he thinks that being right is going to let the public dismiss his foot-fungus eating and strange assertions about the sex lives of young people... he's an autistic idealist.
I can tell you don't get out much. Americans are no longer conspicuous consumers compared to the rest of the world. People do think we have it good here but your average joe sixpack wouldn't know the difference if you transplanted him across a dozen random countries excluding the poorest ones.
In america it's extremely important that we keep our underclass convinced that no matter what their situation they should be happy to have a roof and a frozen pizza because believe you me it's worse everywhere else.
People from other countries have often told me that america is a disappointment.
I don't believe I mentioned Marissa at all I have to wonder what else you've imagined in my comments and the links I've posted. Anyhow based on my new understanding of what's going on here I'll bid you farewell.
I see so you're moving the goalposts. Look I support feminism too and am probably more liberal than yourself. I just don't let people off the hook because they dress up in causes I like. The feminist media has embraced radical feminism and deserves to get flak for it. Anyone pandering to toxic elements on the left should be called out. Especially since people defending and espousing toxic politics are often paid posters.
In the timescale I indicated she wasn't presidential nominee candidate famous outside the tech community. I'm not even sure what you're arguing here anymore or why you'd work so hard to defend retarded political bloggers who are almost universally horrid regardless of their political leanings.
Clearly people were cheering that she was becoming yet another powerful piece of socially destructive shit simply for doing it while being a woman. Apply some logic here and refute what I've said or admit being a russian shill.
2nd hit: Carly Fiorina, the highest paid top manager in the U.S., still earns less than her male colleagues. I do not see any changes in the near future. 3rd hit: Recalling her stint as the head of the troubled computer giant Hewlett-Packard, Carly Fiorina said in a recent interview that her enemies in the corporate and tech worlds routinely referred to her “as either a bimbo—too soft, or a bitch—too hard.” She shook up the entire company, eventually laying off 36,000 people and attracting almost as much media attention as the executives who bankrupted Enron and went to jail. “It broke my heart every time we had to do it,” she says ofthe layoffs. “It was tearing what people thought was the heart of the company. But it had to be done to save more jobs. Once I was fired, they said I didn’t do enough of it.” Hewlett-Packard has since gone from being a laggard to a leader, but Fiorina’s successor, rightly or wrongly, has reaped much of the credit.
Most of the rest are talking about her in a neutral context
Fiorina really pissed me off because she did horrible things to the computing community and then her career was promoted by feminist media when she would have been considered a miniature dick cheney by the same people if she wasn't a woman.
Can you imagine why the tech industry distrusts professional activists?
Yeah that's a good point instead of offering a stellar Yahoo executive what they'll consider the opportunity of a lifetime... let's hire someone outside the company who is willing to stoop to the position if we pay them enough. Maybe they figured some fresh management would help move them back into the cutting edge, like when they bought the web 1.0 looking tumblr and had major security incidents every few years like clockwork.
I still encounter yahoo email users, so they all have yahoo logins. Some places yahoo has deals with cell providers to tie their email and auth directly to phones. Right before myspace died she bought tumblr. Instead of improving the UI and integrating it with all of the pre-existing yahoo features that it lacked but facebook had they had almost no mainstream marketing for the platform but instead worked to build new communities there. Which all turned into a freakshow of slacktavists, SJWs, tweakers and porn addicts.
When that didn't work out so well they could have at least redesigned the site so that it was better for looking at porn but my friends tell me that after you scroll through a handful of images it gets dog slow and can even crash your browser long before you're ready to nut especially on your phone in a public restroom.
Or maybe you're too dumb to notice that the republicans don't actually give a shit about any of the causes they espouse and it's almost always cover for enabling some other objective. Like keeping black people on the right side of town or getting out of wall street's way next time they feel like gorging themselves on our retirement funds. If you were a democrat you'd be the one telling people that Hillary is the voice of young black people.
So basically, unless there is a specific law against it, you are born with a right to just about anything or any behavior in the world in the US.
Stop spreading misinformation. In the USA, everyone is guilty of a bunch of serious crimes they've never heard of. When the right people decide they need to get you out of the way or collect they snatch you up and record any new crimes you commit up until you plea down or submit to a fair trial where you may be found not guilty or guilty and given no less amount of punishment than required to destroy the rest of your life.
I'm talking about WWI. In WWI machine guns would mow down the enemy's nice neat ranks. After that folks changed tactics so there has been little discussion on the subject since. If people were still lining up in neat ranks to advance on an enemy and we didn't have airplanes we'd probably just mow them down with machine guns. I'm military too so I know how often the military is stupid. The above anecdote is actually a great example.
I felt like bump stocks weren't good for anything other than having fun and doubted that full auto was a much of a threat to anyone but law enforcement. Vegas has made me re-evaluate that thinking. Can you show me some proof that bump stocks are not good for indiscriminately fucking up whole crowds of people? I have my doubts you've tested this firsthand, I have my doubts that there is even much data on the subject. Our military and law enforcement probably don't collect a lot of data on the scenario because the last time it was applicable to military tactics was when fully automatic weapons came on the scene and mowed down wave after wave soldiers forcing everyone to change tactics. I think we may underestimate bump stocks as tools of terror because they're too shitty for any sort of professional use.
That said, I don't have any answers I don't like people telling me how to have fun, I support making weapons at least bureaucratically too hard for most crazy people to acquire legally.

Ah yes the classic "I don't like the Japanese because they're racist"
How enlightened!

My salary is a drop in the bucket compared to the eventual value of the work I do for my company but my wages are driven by supply and demand.
That's how it works if your work is valuable. Maybe yours isn't.

Actually yeah I don't like it because coke and fries are shit products and I don't buy shit even if it's free or almost free shit.
Heh everything on amazon costs about the same in seattle as ohio.

"it's just as bad or worse everywhere else.. trust me this is normal"
Yeah unless you travel time back to 1978 nowdays watergate is quaint.

Paid posters like you.

Sure. They cheered for her back when she was a piece of shit executive destroying HP. They only abandoned her when her politics became apparent.
Fiorina really pissed me off because she did horrible things to the computing community and then her career was promoted by feminist media when she would have been considered a miniature dick cheney by the same people if she wasn't a woman.

You think we're a sinking ship???
Oh sorry we're only interested in CEO candidates who actually like our company.
Yeah that's a good point instead of offering a stellar Yahoo executive what they'll consider the opportunity of a lifetime... let's hire someone outside the company who is willing to stoop to the position if we pay them enough.
