You are right about Clinton doing nothing. Osama bin Laden noticed this during Al Qaida's Yemen campaign and observed the Americans are "paper tigers".
2 years after leaving office... Sept 11 happens.
Thank you, president Clinton.
... I'll give you that he was a whole lot better than Obama.
Industry can't get their hands on enough developers right now and we're worried about those jobs going away?
Seriously, google, Microsoft, etc. are lobbying the federal government to lure SW people from other places so we can fill the void here.
I have a friend who became a lawyer couldn't find any work. He's a SW manager now because that is where the demand is. A really old guy told me at lunch today he his phone is ringing off the hook for SW work and that if I wasn't raking in money right now I was doing something wrong.
Construction doesn't seem like a good thing to into when you get older, but it's not my field so I wouldn't know.
I probably sound like a M$ sellout (may be a fair assessment), but this hasn't been my experience.
I used to do Linux C++ (some kernel, driver stuff, also released an open source Qt game) for 7 years. When I tried moving to another city, I discovered the demand for these skills was thin and paid 20% less than propped up military-subsidized salary I was making.
While I was interviewing for C++ jobs I worked aggressively on my C#/.NET skills and have discovered they pay FAR more than the Linux side of things. It's not hard to land $90-110k in a rural state on.NET after 3-4 years.
I'm not trying to persuade you that one tech stack is better than the other. I'm trying to spare you from some pain I faced back in the day.
How difficult would it be to capture something like this? Couldn't a normal sensor sensitive to this wavelength capture this since the integration time is probably going to be longer than a few thousandths of a second?
Is it an obstacle that this is very rare? Or very faint?
These are the experts. They have their journalism degrees. They are news professionals. They know what we should be reading.
We don't understand this because we are too stupid. We are hicks. We don't have the same respect they do for polishing and smoke being blown in our faces. We don't understand how the 4th estate should be running the world.
"Searching for truth (science) may have some flaws due to the fact humans are involved, but it is still the best we've got. The elite scientists are the people who logically should be authoritative on their topics."
If the "elite scientists" are so genuine, why so many shenanigans?
Baconian (i.e. inductive) science died a long time ago. If it ever existed.
As soon as I see someone take the mantle of "elite" it looks like they are uncomfortable standing on their own, naked opinion.
"What would *you* call a clump of undifferentiated cells?"
What's to keep me from calling you or anybody else a clump of undifferentiated cells? If you define science as judging by appearances as a pretext to excuse moral questions via superficiality, well, then, yes, that is a scientific observation.
I don't think you realize the 'your standpoint doesn't really exist' and 'this isn't open for debate' strategy has been an effective way to raise skepticism about science. A process that was supposed to encourage skepticism in the first place. Most folks don't want other people to chew their food for them either.
Quite an assertion. What else is nothing? Babies? Old people? You? How are we not talking about murder?
"they never become a human being."
Are the number of chromosomes different from that of a human being? Is this entity more of a squirrel? What exactly are you saying here? Is the boundary line a matter of convenience for those who have more power over this entity (e.g. desperate parents)?

Congress authorized Iraq under GWB.
Congress did not authorize Libya.

If Mugsey Bogues could slam dunk and play in the NBA, 95% of advantages are fair.
Kernel developer + driver developer + game developer = 3% of job postings
When I hear "what if ..." I think "waterfall" or "CMMI".
In otherwords, sinking millions into paperwork and stifling innovation to solve a potential (i.e. non-actual) problem.
It's OK when the government actually does this, but it's BAD when slashdot pretends the private sector is doing it.
In case you missed the memo.
"They aren't "fudging" numbers."
Where have you been?
Can you tell me whether or not the hockey stick graph is accurate or not?

"Objective reality" is just a cloak people wear to make their own concoctions look bigger than they are.
See Nietchze, Kierkegaard, etc.
Thank you for finally admitting for your side their claims are unscientific.
"traits you don't like"
Traits matter very little. Behavior does.
You seem to be conflating two things which have an extended gulf between them.
How can you put "overwhelming" and "fact" in the same sentence?
Can you imagine a lab for biochem students being written up to put an "overwhelming" amount of copper chloride in a solution?
You are confirming Nietchze's claim: "there are no facts, just opinions".

I don't understand how people are legally required to raise other people's children.

Quite an assertion. What else is nothing? Babies? Old people? You? How are we not talking about murder?

Amounts don't worry.
People worry.
"What I am opposed to is any particular religion getting control of law and/or government."
Kind of like how the US government opposes allowing criticism of evolution in schools.
Or employees can opt out of those companies and opt into other companies.
A single sperm or unfertilized egg isn't a human being. No one would make that claim.
That's why it's OK to kill those cells.

If the IRS gets less money then it can't be charity.
Also, they can help you identify the correct party to vote for.
